Ace + 5 = 6
10 + 3 + 6 = 19.  Hand total = 9
King + 10 = 20.  Hand total = 0

Only one more card may be drawn by either side, governed by the "Baccarat Rules".  The Player draws the third card first and drawing of the Banker's third card depends on the Player's third card.
When either Player or Banker, has a value of "Natural" 8 or 9 on the initial two cards, no third card will be drawn for either side.  If one side has a "Natural" 8 and the other side a "Natural" 9, the "Natural" 9 wins.
However, if the total point count is the same for both Banker and Player, it is a "Tie" or "Draw" game.  Betting on either side will remain unaffected.  There is an option to bet on a "Tie" and it pays 8 to 1.  Whereas in a no "Tie" situation, any bet on "Tie" will be regarded as losing bet.
For bets won on the Banker side, the House takes a commission of 5% on each betting.
The game will be conducted either with face-up or "squeezing" of cards as determined by the House.

   No Commission Baccarat
  In addition, players have the option to play "No Commission Baccarat"
  game at designated tables along with proper signage displayed.

   All winning "Banker" bets shall be paid even money with one EXCEPTION
   when the "Banker" side wins on total points of 6, the winning "Banker" bets
   shall be paid 50% rate of the amount betted.  (For example: $100
   winning "Banker" bet shall be paid $50).


BLACKJACK
The Game
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games.  The objective of this game is to draw card(s) totalling 21 or as close to 21.  The player wins if his points are higher than the dealer.

Pictures cards (King, Queen & Jack) count as 10, Ace as 1 or 11, whichever is to your advantage and all other cards count as face value.   E.g.

King + 2 + 5 = 17
9 + Ace = 20 or 10

No limit to the number of cards drawn as long as the total point count is not lesser than 12 and definitely not exceeding 21.

Easy To Understand.  Fun To Play.

The game begins with you betting using House chips only.  The betting limits are displayed at the gaming table.
You will be dealt 2 cards, while the House takes 1 card and the cards will be dealt face up.  Your total points for the first 2 cards shall determine whether additional cards are required.
You must have either a minimum total point of 12 or maximum 21 ("Blackjack" or " Natural 21") for the initial 2 cards.  If not, you are required to "Hit" an additional card or cards until you have a count of not less than 12 and not exceeding 21.   No additional card should be drawn if your total points have exceeded 21 (also known as "Going Over" or "Bust"), in which case you lose.


  For Blackjack, the minimum table betting limit ranges from $10 - $500

However, if the House's first card is an Ace, you have an option of taking "Insurance" against the House having a possible "Blackjack".
When your total point count is above 12 and below 21, you may "Stay".  After all the other players have their turns at drawing card and stayed, a second card will be dealt to the House.  The House must have a minimum total point of 17 and also not exceeding 21.
E.g. 10 + 4 + 3 = 17 (the House will stop drawing additional cards).

Terms Used In Blackjack

  • Blackjack or Natural 21
    When the total point for the initial 2 cards dealt equals 21 e.g.
    Picture + Ace = 21 or Ten + Ace = 21.  The House pays you 3 to 2.
  • Soft 21
    Where the total point count of cards in hand is 21 (other than the initial 2 cards).  E.g. first two cards : Ace + 5 = 16, third card drawn is 5, therefore, 5 + 16 = 21.

    A "Blackjack" shall take precedence over a "Soft 21".

  • Hit
    When additional card(s) are required.
  • Stand or Stay
    When no additional card is required.
  • Split
    Any initial 2 cards dealt with identical or same value e.g. 5 and 5, you can "Split" it into 2 different hands and the amount of bet to be placed in the new hand shall be the same with the original bet.

    The Player must at least draw 1 card for each hand.  The Dealer shall deal a second card to the first of the "Split" hands and shall complete the Player's decision in respect of that hand before proceeding to deal any cards to the other "Split" hand.  However, for an Ace pair "Split", Player can draw only 1 card.   You can "Split" your "hand" up to a maximum of 3 hands only.

  • Doubling or Double Down
    You may double your original bet if your initial 2 cards or the initial 2 cards of any "Split" pair have a total point count of 9, 10 or 11 (the cards should not consist of an Ace or a "Blackjack").  Your additional bet must be the same with your original bet e.g. original bet is $10, additional bet should also be $10, therefore, the total bet is $20.

    After "Doubling", you may only draw 1 card, regardless of whatever your total point count is.

  • Insurance
    When the House's initial card is an Ace, you have an option of taking "Insurance" against the House having a possible "Blackjack" (betting limit is half of your original bet or lesser).   If the House had a "Blackjack", you lose your original bet and are paid 2 to 1 on your "Insurance" bet.

    If the House has no "Blackjack", the "Insurance" bet will be regarded as losing bet.
  • Surrender
    You may "Surrender" to the House by giving half of your bet, provided the House's first card is not an Ace.  All decisions to "Surrender" shall be made immediately after the initial 2 cards are dealt to you.
  • Push
    When your total point count is the same with the House.  Neither wins.
  • Even Money
    When the House has an Ace for the first card and you have a "Blackjack", you may request to be paid 1 to 1 before the House draws a third card for the other players.
  • Going Over or Bust
    When the total points for all cards drawn have exceeded 21.

PAI GOW

Pai Gow is a Chinese game of tiles that is thousands of years old, and is one of the oldest forms of gambling. The name literally translates as “to make nine”. The game is played with 32 tiles, 11 of which are identical pairs. The remaining tiles are made up of five mixed pairs.

The aim of the game is to make two ranking hands using four tiles. Two tiles are used in each hand, which are known as the high hand and the low hand.

A Few Hints For Setting Your Hand

Always look for pairs first and do not forget that the mixed pairs or “Gee Jun” do not look exactly the same.

Play a “Teen” or “Day” with any domino 7, 8 or 9 - making a High Nine, a Gong or a Wong.

Combine two small dominoes together to form a total of 7, 8 or 9 points.

If none of the above can be found, balance the totals by making the point value as close as possible.

Easy To Understand. Fun to Play.

  • The game of Pai Gow is played with a set of 32 dominoes (tiles). The tiles are shuffled by the dealer and placed in eight stacks of four each.
  • Three dice are shaken and the total points shall determine which hand will receive the first stack of tiles. Four tiles are dealt to each hand.
  • The objective of the game is to make two ranking hands known as the Low Hand and the high Hand.
  • In order to win, the player’s ranking in both hands must be higher than the Banker’s hand. If the player wins one hand and loses the other, the hand is a standoff or push hand (neither the player nor the Banker wins or loses).
  • If the Banker and player have the same ranking hand, the Banker wins. If the player and Banker have zero, Banker wins regardless of ranking.
  • The “Gee Jun” (3 and 6) are the two “Wild Tiles”, either tile may count as THREE or SIX depending on which is more beneficial to the hand.
  • The House hand is always set in accordance with “House Way”.
  • All winning hands are paid even money less 5% commission collected by the House.

Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean Stud is a poker variation based on five cards stud. It is played with a single deck of card, with player playing against the house rather than against each other. Players also have the opportunity to wager on the Progressive Jackpot.

Any player having a Progressive Jackpot qualifying hands shall notify the House and their cards are left face up on the table for processing of payment, regardless of the House do or does not have a hand of Ace and King or higher. If two or more Players qualify for all of the Jackpot during the same game, the winners shall share the Jackpot as an aggregate.

  • The House shall deal the cards (face down), starting from left to right until all Players and House have five cards each. One card for the House will be turned face up to cover the other 4 cards (face down).
