Other Casino games
There are a variety of other games to play at online casinos besides the
more well know games that are described in a bit more detail. Below are
a select few that you will also come across. It can be daunting when first
visiting an online casino and being confronted with lists and lists of games.
The Croupiers aim is to familiarise you with a variety of games so you feel
confident in trying each game out. Please also remember that most of the
games will have a 'play for free' version so practise before you lay any
money down on the tables.
Slots
A Slot machine has three spinning reels with 22 positions per reel marked
with symbols. Each time a spin is made, the three reels come to rest randomly
with a selection of symbols showing in the game window. Certain combinations
of symbols in the game window result in payoffs. The payoffs for the different
winning combinations are shown in a window at the top of each Slot machine.
For some machines, like Rags to Riches you need to click on the Payout Table
button to view the Payout Table.
Sic Bo
Sic Bo (meaning high/low) is an ancient Chinese dice game and features
in many casinos around the world. You have a number of opportunities to
bet on the outcome of three dice thrown onto the table. The Sic Bo table
features the various outcomes you can predict, from the total value of the
three dice thrown, to three matching values on each die. The odds are wide
ranging and the choice is yours.
Pontoon

American Casino version Blackjack. The objective of Pontoon is for a player
to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher number

by changing a few of the standard rules and payout.

your loss. If you decide to Bet on your hand the dealer receives four further
cards with the outcome of the game based on the Poker value of your cards
versus the dealer's.

selected card will fall between the two cards already dealt to you.
