Baccarat Rules
To play a game of Baccarat, place a wager in the banker’s, and/or players and/or Tie betting circle. The player and the banker are then each dealt two cards face up. In certain cases, a third card is dealt to the player or the banker or both. The hand closest to 9, wins.
The first cards goes to the PLAYER, the second to the BANKER and the next two follow suit (the third to the PLAYER and the fourth to the BANKER)
If either hand (BANKER or PLAYER) totals 8 or 9 on the initial deal, (each of these numbers is called a NATURAL) then no additional cards are dealt and the winner is the one who has a number nearer to 9. In the case that both the PLAYER hand and the BANKER hand have equal totals, the game result is a tie. In case someone has bet on TIE the pay is done, otherwise there is no pay.
In case no hand gets 8 or 9, the game continues as follows:
If the PLAYER, with the first two cards, gets 0 through 5, he draws (he has the right to a third card). If he gets 6, 7, 8 or 9 he stands, and has no right to a third card.
If the BANKER, with the first two cards, gets 0, 1 or 2 he draws (he has the right to a third card). If he gets 7, 8 or 9 he stands, and has no right to a third card.
In all the other cases, when the BANKER gets 3, 4, 5 or 6, this chart is followed:
Draws when Player´s Third Card is: |
Stands when Player´s Third Card is: |

DRAWS: a third card is dealt STANDS: no third card is dealt
Payout
Wagers placed on the Player pay 1:1 of the original wager amount if the player wins.
Wagers placed on the Banker pay 1:1of the original wager amount minus a 5% house commission if the banker wins. Wagers placed on a Tie pay 9:1 of the original wager amount if a tie occurs; that is to say when both the player and banker’s hands are of equal value. Wagers placed on either the Banker or the Player are returned if a tie occurs.

Game Rules
Multi-hand Blackjack is played with two standard decks of 52 playing cards that are shuffled after the completion of every game.
The Dealer checks for a Blackjack when he is dealt a 10 or an Ace. If the Dealer has a Blackjack, the game is over.
Blackjack always beats any other hand with a value of 21.
All face cards - Jacks, Kings and Queens, have a value of 10.
Aces can have a value of either 1 or 11.
All other cards have their face value.
You may draw up to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven cards, provided the value of your hand does not exceed 21. If your hand does not exceeded 21 after receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically Stands, and the Dealer plays his hand.
The Dealer Hits on a soft 17.
If the Dealer´s hand exceeds 21, it is bust, and you automatically win.
If you are dealt an Ace and a card with a value of 10, you have Blackjack. Your hand automatically Stands. Your hand cannot be beaten, only matched. When your hand and the Dealer´s hand tie, it is called a push. Your original wager amount is returned to you.
If both the Dealer and your hand have Blackjack, this is considered a push. Your original wager amount is returned to you.
If the Dealer gets Blackjack after you have Split or Doubled Down, the entire wager amount is lost.
Splitting
You can Split two cards of the same value, such as a Queen and a Ten, or two Fours. Your hand is divided into two separate hands and a wager equal to your original wager is placed on the second hand.
If you Split a pair of Aces and then draw a card with a value of 10, this is not Blackjack, although it has a value of 21.
This rule also applies to splitting pairs of cards with a value of 10.You can Split a maximum number of 3 times per game, equaling 4 hands. This rule excludes Aces. Aces are only Split once.
If you Split a pair of Aces, each Ace is dealt one card, and the hand automatically Stands.

Insurance
You can take Insurance if the Dealer´s first card is an Ace.

If the Dealer does not have a Blackjack, the Insurance wager is removed from the table. The game continues.
If the dealer has Blackjack, the Insurance wager is paid out at odds of 2:1.
Insurance - This is a side wager against the possibility of the Dealer getting Blackjack. You can take Insurance if the Dealer’s first card is an Ace. Insurance costs half your original wager.
Push - This is when your hand and the Dealer’s hand tie. You are paid your original wager.
Split - You can Split two cards with the same Denomination or Value, such as a King and a Jack, or two Sevens. Your hand is divided into two separate hands and a wager equal to your original wager is placed on the second hand. Therefore, your wager is doubled. A new card is dealt to each hand and you play these hands as normal. You can Split a maximum number of 3 times, equaling 4 hands. This rule excludes Aces. Ace are only Split once.
Stand - This is when you are satisfied with the value of your hand and do not want to draw any more cards. This ends the play of your hand. The Dealer plays their hand and both hands are compared.
Value - Value refers to the numerical value of a card. Jack, Queen and King have the value of 10. The Ace card has a value of either 1 or 11.
Payout
If you win with a Blackjack you are paid out at odds of 3:2 on your original wager, in other words, you win back one and a half times your original wager amount, plus your original wager.
If you have a winning hand but not a Blackjack, you are paid out at odds of 1 to 1 on your original wager.

Texas Hold´em can be played with as little as two players and up to a maximum of ten players. A 52 card deck without jokers is used. Each player receives two cards, face down, known as hole cards. The dealer then hands out five community cards face up. Players can use any five cards to form the combination. The best five-card combination wins the pot.
GAME STAGES
The game is divided into four rounds of betting. The initial pot is formed of small blinds. The first player who sits at the table becomes the dealer. The game starts from the position next to the dealer button, a round disk marks the dealer. The dealer button moves clockwise from player to player with each hand.
Blinds
Before a game starts, the two players to the left of the dealer make blind bets, so-called because they are made before the players have seen any cards. This is called ´posting the blinds´. The blinds ensure that there is some money in the pot to play for at the very start of the game. The player to the left of the dealer posts the small blind. The second player to the left of the dealer posts the big blind which is exactly twice the small blind
Pre-Flop
Each player receives two cards face down. Each player can see only see his own cards. The player to the left of the player who posted the big blind begins a round of betting. This player can:
Call - match the amount bet in the big blind,
Raise - increase the amount bet,
Fold - surrender his cards and stake in the game.
The same actions may be made by each player when it is his turn to bet. When the betting returns to the player who made the big blind, that player can decide not to raise, i.e. to make a check, if no other player raises. However, if an opponent has raised, the player has three options: he can call, raise or fold. When all bets are equal, the initial pot is formed and the game turns to the next round (Flop).
Flop
Three cards are dealt face up. This is called the Flop. Anyone may use these three cards, we call them Community cards. The player who posted the Small Blind begins this betting round. When all bets get equal, the game goes to the next round (Turn).
Turn
A fourth Community Card is dealt face up on the table. The third round of betting begins.
River
The fifth and final Community Card is dealt, and the final betting round begins.
Showdown
When all bets are of equal value, it is possible to show the cards. The last player to bet or raise during the final betting round shows his cards first. If during the last betting round all the remaining players check (nobody bets), the first player to the dealer´s left, who did not fold is to show his cards first. The other players reveal their cards moving clockwise around the table. If the player´s current hand is weaker than the winning hand shown, he has the option to show or muck his cards. The best five-card hand takes the pot. If two players share an identical hand, the pot is split. Each player may claim the part of the pot in forming of which he took part. Please see the "All-In" section.
GAME TYPES
Limit poker
In Limit Poker the maximum raise is agreed in advance. For example, in a 1/2 Limit game, both bet and raise must be equal to 1. In the last two rounds bet and raise must be equal to 2.
Pot Limit
In a game with Pot Limit the maximum value of bet or raise must not exceed the current total amount in the pot. For example: if the total amount in the pot is 10, the first player to act in the betting round bets 10, the second player could bet a total of 30 - 10 for his portion of the call and raise by 20, the total amount of money in the pot when the action reaches him, including his call. There is no cap to the number of raises in Pot Limit poker games.
No Limit
In the No Limit game there is no bet limit. All players can make any bet in any betting round. The minimum bet is equal to the big blind.
