Roulette
One of the oldest and most famous casino games. The roulette wheel has 37 separately numbered slots alternately coloured red and black, the "0" is green. The dealer releases a ball into the spinning wheel. The objective is to predict which of the 37 numbers on the wheel the ball will stop on. There are various roulette games available and the rules for each of them can be found by starting a game.
Slots
A slot machine consists of three or more reels, each of which has a set of symbols usually relating to that particular game (eg. The 'Alice's Wonderland' slot has a caterpillar symbol, mad hatter, white rabbit, etc.) A player can win money by selecting his stake and win lines and spinning the reels which will eventually stop at random. If there are matching symbols across a selected win line then the game will payout. The amount a player receives is based on the amount staked for that spin and the payout odds of the matching symbols, these odds can be found from the paytable which shows the potential winnings for each reel combination. Full game rules and paytables for individual slots can be found by starting that game and clicking 'Game Rules'
Split
When playing blackjack, a player can choose to 'split' the first two cards dealt to them if they are the same value (does not include two Aces). This will mean the player now has two separate hands with the original stake on each of them. A card is dealt to one hand first and the player is given the normal options, 'Hit', 'Stand', and potentially 'Double Down' depending on the total value of the cards in that hand. Once you choose to 'Stand' or if you 'Bust' you can then play the second hand. There are several types of Blackjack games available on our casino, please check 'Game Rules' for confirmation of player options as they may vary.
Stand
This term is used when you no longer wish to take a card from the dealer.

Up Card

Wagering
Wagering is the term used to describe how much you are betting, profit/loss is not a factor. For example, if I wager £5 and win the £5 back then I have not lost or gained anything, but I have wagered £5. If I did the same again by wagering £5 and winning the £5 back then I have still not lost or gained anything, but I have now wagered £10. How much you wager is a contributing factor towards our welcome and members bonus for gaming.
