Casino War-
Return-97.65 |
|
Casino
War is as simple as it gets:
Cards are ranked as in poker with aces always high. The suit does
not matter. The player gets 1 card face up and the dealer gets 1
card face up, high card wins. In the event of a tie the player shall
have two choices: (1) surrender and forfeit half the bet, or (2) go
to war. If the player goes to war he must raise his bet by an amount
equal to his original wager. The dealer will then burn 3 cards and
give the player and dealer another card each, face up. If the
player's second card equals or beats the dealer then the player
shall win even money on the raise only and the original wager shall
push. If the dealer's second card is greater the player shall lose
both bets.
A tie bet is also available, which pays 10 to 1 if the first two
cards tie. |

Cyberstub Poker-return 94.5% |
|
Cyberstud is a game in which each players receives 5 cards. In this
game the players are only competing against the dealer individually.
The hand rankings are the same as traditional poker. There are no
wild cards and the better your hand is the better the payout.
The table below indicates the hand payouts. To start the game the
player must place in an ante. They are then given 5 cards. The
player looks at them and decides if they want to call or fold. If
the player calls they must place a bet equal to twice their ante in
order to continue with their current hand. If the player decides to
fold they forfeit their ante. As a general rule, if a player has a
pair or better they call and if they have no pair, they fold.
As a bonus feature to this game there is a jackpot that accumulates
until someone is lucky enough to get a Royal Flush. Before every
hand is dealt the player has the option to play for this jackpot by
placing $1 in the bonus slot. This element gives the house a
distinct edge on the player, but it would be upsetting to get the
royal flush without playing the dollar.
Strategy:
raise with a pair or higher.
fold with less then ace/king
With Ace/King:
Raise if the dealers card is between a 2 and queen and matches one
of yours.
Raise if the dealers card is an ace or king and you have a queen
or jack in your hand.
Raise if the dealers up card does not match any of your cards and
you have a queen in your hand and the dealers card is less than your
fourth highest card.
