Rules of Crypto Gambling

General Rules of Crypto Gambling

Here are ten golden rules that every online gambler (whether you are a rookie or a veteran high roller) should follow…

• Budget your money.
• Gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
• Decide beforehand how much you want to spend during your gambling session. Don’t exceed the spending limit if you lose.
• Predetermine a goal for your winnings, pocket some, and gamble only with the remainder.
• When you are winning, increase your bets only gradually.
• Never play when you are tired.
• Play only at tables you can afford. You should be able to cover at least 25 bets.
• Keep your gambling expectations reasonable.
• After five consecutive losses, move to another table.
• Have fun and quit while you’re ahead.

Blackjack Rules

As the legend goes, the game of blackjack originated in France over 300 years ago. The basic strategy of blackjack is simple and straightforward. Once you master this, you are ready for a more advanced strategy.

Basic Strategy of Blackjack

The objective in blackjack is to have a hand which totals 21, or beats the dealer’s hand by coming as close to 21as possible without going over, or “busting.” If your first two cards are an ace and a ten, that’s blackjack or “a natural” 21! Blackjack always beats a hand that totals 21 by adding the values of more than the first two cards.
A picture card is counted as 10, a card from 2-10 is counted at its face value, and an ace can be counted as either 1 or 11. A “hard hand” is a hand that does not contain an ace or contains an ace that can only be counted as 1 so as not to bust. A dealer’s ace always counts as 11.
Hit:
Give player another card!
Stand:
No more cards!
Double Down:
Give player ONLY one more card, and double player’s bet!
Split:
Make two hands out of player’s pair of cards with the same value. Player’s initial wager will be placed on one hand, and a second wager of equal value will be placed on the second hand. However, if you split two aces, you get only one additional card for each hand. If you split two aces and one of your hands totals 21, this is not considered blackjack, but 21. You cannot split a split hand.
Insurance:
If the dealer’s upcard is an ace, player will be given the option of placing a side-bet, called insurance. When the dealer shows an ace, he is considered to have a good chance of having blackjack. If the dealer does have blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1, corresponding to the amount of your initial bet. If you have bought insurance, and the dealer does not have blackjack, you lose your insurance. Your initial bet is then settled by comparing your cards with the dealer’s. Should you and the dealer both have blackjack, the game results in a push.
Basic strategy explains the safest way to play out your blackjack hand in order to increase your odds of being a winner.
In order to determine which basic strategy chart applies to the blackjack table at Crypto Casinos, these house rules are important:

• The dealer must draw cards until his hand totals at least 17, and must stand at 17 or higher.
• The single deck is shuffled after each round. (In traditional casinos, players can better their chances of winning by learning how to count cards in an effort to predict the cards still left in the deck. However, since the deck is shuffled after each round at most online casinos, card counting is not possible).
• Players are allowed to double after splitting, but are not allowed to re-split a split hand.

Roulette Rules

Roulette has been played since the 17th century. Your simple objective as a player is to predict the ball’s final resting-place when the wheel stops spinning. The roulette wheel at Crypto Casino consists of 36 numbers plus zero and double zero. Your wager on the roulette table can be placed on a single number, or be used to cover 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, or up to 18 different numbers during one spin. Here is a summary of the different roulette bets:
Straight Up:
This is a wager on a single number, including zero (0) and double zero (00). If the ball stops at your number, your bet pays 35 to 1.
Split Bet:
This is a wager on two adjacent numbers in the roulette table, which is placed on the line dividing the two numbers. If the ball stops at either number, your bet pays 17 to 1.
Street Bet:
Street bets cover three numbers. The chip is placed on the outer right boundary line of the roulette table, next to the corresponding row of three numbers. If either number hits, the street bet pays 11 to 1.
Corner Bet:
Corner bets cover four numbers. The chip is placed on the cross where the four numbers intersect. If any of the four numbers hit, your corner bet pays 8 to 1.
Five Bet:
This bet covers the following numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. The chip is placed on the outer right boundary line of the roulette table, between 00 and 3. If either number hits, your five bets pays 6 to 1.
Line Bet:
A line bet covers the six different numbers in two rows of three numbers. For example: 4,5,6 plus 7,8,9). The chip is placed on outer right boundary line of the roulette table, where the line dividing the two rows intersects it. If any of the six numbers hit, your line bet pays 5 to 1.
Column Bet:
On the short side of the roulette table are three boxes marked “2 to 1.” By placing your chip in one of these boxes, you mark all twelve numbers above it (0 and 00 excluded). If the ball stops at either of these numbers, your bet pays 2 to 1.
Dozen Bet:
You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing your chip in one of the three boxes marked “1st 12,” “2nd 12,” or “3rd 12.” A winning dozen bet pays 2 to 1.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, and Low/High Bets:
A bet placed in one of the boxes on the left, long side of the table covers half of the roulette numbers (excluding zero and double zero). Each box covers 18 numbers. These bets pay even money, 1 to 1.

Round and round she goes! Where she stops… Nobody Knows!

Keep this important fact in mind when you’re seated at the roulette table.
The most important way to walk away from the roulette table as a winner is to budget your money, and know when it’s time to take your winnings and run! By scattering your bets on the roulette table, you will increase your odds of winning more in the long run. Instead of betting a stack of chips straight up on your lucky number, place only one chip straight up on your lucky number, and use the rest to place corner bets. If you win, use winnings to increase your bets. If you lose, go back to the minimum bet.
Set aside a small portion of your total gambling till for wild impulse bets. If that lucky number has come up two spins in a row, and you are determined to place a bundle straight up that number during the next spin (even though your rationale is faulty), use your impulse betting till. If you lose, you will only lose a portion of your stake and can use the rest to place wiser bets.

Baccarat Rules and Strategy

Baccarat has long been a favorite card game of high rollers. The rules are incredibly simple and can be mastered in a few minutes. The object of baccarat is to correctly predict whether the banker’s hand will win, the player’s hand will win, or the game will result in a tie.
The value of a hand is determined by adding the values of its individual cards. Tens and face cards count as zero, while all other cards count as their numerical value. After summing the total, only the last digit is used. Therefore, baccarat hands all have values from 0 – 9. The hand with the higher value wins. If the hands have the same value, the game results in a tie. Initially, both the banker and the player are dealt two cards. If the two initial cards total 8 or 9, the hand is called a “natural”, and the game will end at that point. Otherwise, standard Baccarat “third card rules” (that Crypto Casino players need not remember) determine if a hand should receive a third and final card.
Winning bets on the player’s hand are paid at 1:1 odds. A 5% commission is charged on winnings as a result of a bet on the banker, making the net odds on banker bets 0.95 to 1. A winning wager on a tie bet is paid at 8:1odds. If the game does result in a tie, bets on the banker or player are returned.

Craps Rules

Craps is an exciting, fast-paced dice game. The strategy to becoming a good craps player is to:
1. Learn the different bets on the craps table (Lesson Seven).
2. Learn the good bets from the bad bets (Lesson Eight).
3. Start with a basic beginner strategy (Lesson Nine).

The Different Craps Bets:

Pass Line:
A pass line bet is a bet placed before the come out roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new craps round). A wager on the pass line wins immediately if the come out roll is 7 or 11 (naturals), and loses if the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12 (craps numbers). If any other number (4,5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is rolled, that number becomes “the point.” If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, your pass line bet wins. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, your pass line bet loses.
Don’t Pass Line:
A don’t pass line bet is essentially the reverse of a pass line bet, and is also placed before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 3 or 12 on the come out roll, a don’t pass line bet wins immediately. If, however, the come out roll is 7 or 11, don’t pass line bets lose. If the come out roll is 2, a don’t pass line bet is returned to the player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established, don’t pass line bets win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again. If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, don’t pass line bets lose.
Come:
A come bet is placed before any roll of the dice, once a point has been established by the come out roll. Come bets win immediately if the shooter’s next roll is 7 or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes “the come point.” If the shooter rolls the come point again before rolling a 7, the come bet wins.
Don’t Come:
A don’t come bet is essentially the opposite of a come bet. Don’t come bets win immediately when the shooter’s next roll is 3 or 12, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 2, the bet will be returned to the player in a push. After the come point is established, don’t come bets win if 7 is rolled and lose if the come point is rolled.
Odds:
An odds bet is a “back up” bet on an original pass line, don’t pass line, come, or don’t come bet. Gold Club allows odds bets of three times your original bets.
Field:
A field bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Big Six and Big Eight:
A big six bet is a bet that 6 will be rolled before 7. Likewise, a big eight bet is a bet that 8 will be rolled before 7.
Place Win:
A place win bet is a bet that 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before a seven.
Place Lose:
A place lose bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.
Buy:
A buy bet is a bet that 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before 7. A vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged when placing the buy bet.
Lay:
A lay bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10. A 5% vig. is charged when placing the lay bet.
Any 7:
An “any 7” bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 7.
Any 11:
An “any 11” bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 11.
Any Craps:
An “any craps” bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, or 12.
Horn:
A horn bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be either 2, 3, 11, or 12.
Hardway:
A hardway bet is a bet that the shooter will roll a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling a 7. Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling the number “the hard way.”

Basic Craps Strategy

A good beginner strategy is to start with a minimum pass line bet, backed by single odds.
If the bets win, place a new pass line bet with double odds. Keep the amount of your original pass line bet (flat bet) the same, but increase the odds bet.
If those bets win, go for triple odds.
Don’t increase your minimum flat bet on the pass line until you are winning. Then only increase it by 50% of your previous wager. If you lose, go back to the minimum flat bet.
Add a Come Bet:
When you are comfortable playing the pass line, you can add a minimum come bet with single odds. If you win, double and then triple your come odds.
Don’t increase your minimum come bet (flat bet) until you are winning. Then only increase it by 50% of your previous wager. If you lose, go back to the minimum bet.
Don’t Pass Line and Don’t Come Bets:
When you have gained experience by placing pass line and come bets, you can try don’t pass line and don’t come bets with odds.
Use the same betting strategy: wager the minimum bet with steadily increasing odds. After a win, you can increase your next flat bet by 50%. After a loss, you can wager a minimum flat bet.
Taking Odds vs. Laying Odds:
You “take” odds on a pass line or come bet, but “lay” odds on a don’t pass line or don’t come bet. Laying odds on don’t bets means that you have to wager more to win less since don’t betters have an advantage once the point has been established.
Place Win on 6 or 8:
Although the house advantage is relatively low on this bet, you should really only consider it when you are winning your pass line (or don’t pass line) and come (or don’t come) bets with odds, and the number 6 or 8 is not already covered by your bets.

Caribbean Poker

Caribbean poker has become the most popular new casino game in the last few years. If you like poker, you will love Caribbean Poker!
The player plays against the dealer, independently of other players. Your goal as the player is to beat the dealer’s hand. The exciting aspect of the game is that you can win big when you least expect it. The international payoff standard for a royal flush is 100 to 1. We also offer big $1 progressive jackpots and bonus payoffs!
In order to participate in the game, you must first place an “ante bet”. Don’t forget to add your $1 bonus bet! You are then dealt a hand of five cards, all of them dealt face up. The dealer also receives five cards; four cards dealt face down and one card face up. You then have to decide whether to challenge the dealer’s hand or to surrender. If you wish to challenge the dealer you must place a bet which is always equal to twice the ante. If you surrender you loose your ante.
When you receive a good hand, you naturally place a bet to challenge the dealer. When the bet has been placed, the dealer reveals his remaining four cards, and the hands are compared.
The dealer’s hand must contain at least one ace and one king in order to qualify. If the dealer’s hand does not qualify, you receive 1 to 1 on your ante, and your bet is returned to you without winnings.
If the dealer’s hand does qualify with a value of at least one ace + one king, the best hand wins. Your winning hand receives 1 to 1 on the ante plus the winnings on your bet, which are calculated according to the below winnings table:

Hand	Pays	Card Specifications
Nothing	1 to 1	Five cards of different values.
One Pair	1 to 1	Two cards of the same value.
Two Pairs	2 to 1	Two sets of two cards of the same value.
Three of a Kind	3 to 1	Three cards of the same value.
Straight	4 to 1	Five cards in numerical sequence, but of different suits.
Flush	7 to 1	Five cards of the same suit, of any value.
Full House	5 to 1	One pair + three of a kind.
Four of a Kind	20 to 1	Four cards of the same value.
Straight Flush	50 to 1	Five cards in numeric sequence, and of the same suit.
Royal Flush	200 to 1	Ace, king, queen, jack, and 10; all of the same suit.

When the dealer and the player receive poker hands of equal value (i.e. a push game), both the ante and the bet are returned to the player.
