Blackjack
In Blackjack, you and the dealer (the computer) are dealt two cards to
start. The objective of Blackjack is to accumulate cards that add up closer
to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21. Cards are worth their
face value with the exception of Kings, Queens, and Jacks which are each
worth 10 and Aces which are worth either 1 or 11. If the value of your hand
is closer to 21 than that of the dealer you win. If the value of the dealer's
hand is higher than yours you lose. If the hands are of equal value the
deal is a push and your money is returned. If you have a total of 22 or
higher (a busted hand), you lose regardless of whether the dealer also busts.

Baccarat
Two hands are dealt in baccarat - The banker's hand and the player's hand.
Prior to each deal, the player wagers on whether the Player's hand or the
Banker's hand is closest to a total of 9. The player also has the option
to wager on a tie (i.e. both the banker's and player's hands total the same).

round wheel with thirty-seven numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the
ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of European Roulette
is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will land. By predicting
the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet. The size of the payoff
depends on how the bet was placed.
