Mini Baccarat Review
Game: In Baccarat you and the banker receive two to
three cards to get a point value as close to nine as possible.
You have to correctly guess whether you or the banker will
win, or a tie will occur.
Odds: In baccarat the best bet is on the banker (bet
that the banker will win) and the fewer the decks used the
better the banker bet gets. Since
Casino Las Vegas uses six decks, the house edge
on a banker bet is 1.06% (it would be 1.01% if played with one
deck). Dealt and played using "standard" rules, if you win by
betting on the banker, the bank receives a 5% commission
(land-based casinos take 4%).
The six-deck house edge on a player bet is 1.24% (where the
one deck house edge on a player bet is 1.29%). These
differences in percentage do not seem large, but they do have
a considerable impact on play in real life.
A winning bet on a tie pays 9:1 which really is wonderful
since it lowers the casino's advantage from 14.44% (15.75% in
1-deck and 14.36% in 8-deck baccarat) down to 4.93%. Not many
online casinos offer this generous payout on ties.
Set: The stakes (table limits) are set to $5-$200 which
is standard. You might want to bet big when playing baccarat
and you certainly will find online casinos offering higher
maximum table limits.
Summary:
Casino Las Vegas offers a very good baccarat
game because of the good odds on ties (9:1). This is not the
right place for high rollers though.
Blackjack Review
Game: In Blackjack each card has a point value. You
first get two cards, calculate their value and decide whether
to draw more cards or not where the maximum total points
allowed is 21. The dealer does the same thing. You try to be
better than him (draw closer to 21).
Odds: The house edge with the rules listed below is
0.47% which we consider lowest standard. Be aware of that you
can find much better blackjack games online.
Set: You can play three hands at once which is lots of
fun. The dealer stands on soft 17 (Ace & 6) which is good but
standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards and
you even can double down after you split pairs which is better
than what land based casinos offer you but standard when it
comes to online casinos. You may split pairs to two hands only
which really is below average, because many other online
casinos allow you to split your cards up to three or four
hands. Split Aces receive only one more card. When the
dealer's face-up card is a ten he peaks under the face-down
card to tell if he has a Blackjack or not. When the dealer's
face-up card is an Ace he does not peak. If the dealer wins
with a 10 showing you will lose only the original amount bet
(not including any additional money from doubling or
splitting). If the dealer wins with an Ace showing you will
lose the full amount bet.
Casino Las Vegas uses six decks which is
standard: it makes card counting quite impossible. And to dash
any hope the cards are shuffled after every single hand. It is
difficult to find an online casino making card counting easy
anyway, but there are some and
Casino Las Vegas certainly does not fall under
this category.
European Roulette Review
Game: A wheel with pockets numbered 0 to 36 is spun
in one direction. A ball is spun around the wheel and as the
ball slows, it drops into one of the pockets of the wheel. You
bet on which pocket the ball will drop into.
Odds: This is an 'European' single-zero roulette (with
only one zero on the wheel) which sets the basic house edge to
2.7%. That's actually far better than the American roulette
version which usually has an incredible basic house edge of
5.26%. But
Casino Las Vegas doesn't use any additional
rule to put you in an even more favorable position, so the
house edge stays at 2.7%.
If you prefer to bet on one of the inside bets once in a
while, you really should play European roulette, since the
house edge is 2.7% on all bets. But if you are an outside
bettor, who likes to bet on high, low, red, black, odd or even
only, you should play an American roulette version offering
the "la partage rule" since it offers slightly better odds for
those bets (2.63%).
Consider that inside bets offer far better payouts than
outside bets, so bet the middle 12 once in a while. Generally
the best idea is to bet on the streak that is running at the
moment (e.g. if the last number was red, bet red).

Caribbean Poker Review
Game: In Caribbean Poker you place an ante (bet
before game starts) and after having received five cards
decide whether to compete against the dealer or not. You
simply compare cards. The better hand wins.
Odds: The basic house edge for this game is 5.21% which
doesn't make it look competitive compared to other casino
games. American Roulette has a slightly worse house edge
though.
Anyway,
Casino King makes this game interesting because
it offers you a side bet of $1 for which you will receive an
additional payoff for certain paying hands (flush or better).
This extra win is based on the value of your own five-card
hand, not on the hand of the dealer. So even if the dealer
beats you or does not qualify you still get the bonus payoff.
Their jackpot usually is about $15,000 which results in a
house edge of 55%. Only when the jackpot is very high
($200,000) the house edge decreases enough to really make this
side bet worth a try. When you review the payoff chart keep in
mind that some online casinos offer you a 999:1 payout for a
Royal Flush.
The strategy for Caribbean Poker is quite simple: you
should raise on any pair or better and fold on anything less
than ace/king.
Summary: That's a standard Caribbean Poker game
offering the option of a side bet. There certainly are online
casinos with much better Caribbean Poker games though.
European Roulette Review
Game: A wheel with pockets numbered 0 to 36 is spun
in one direction. A ball is spun around the wheel and as the
ball slows, it drops into one of the pockets of the wheel. You
bet on which pocket the ball will drop into.

2.7%. That's actually far better than the American roulette
