Craps


It is very easy to begin playing craps. Just remember this tip, the first time you come to play be sure to place a small bet on the pass line. This is the line that goes all round the craps table layout. The bet you place is on the first throw of the dice and on the come-out roll. You want to hope that the roll of the dice produces a 7 or 11. On the come-out role, both 7 and 11 are automatic winners, meaning if they show up you’re already a winner!

Casino Poker


Poker is a long term favourite card game where you bet on the value of your hand of cards. There are a number standardised winning card combinations to try and achieve. You win a round by either having the best hand or by being the only player left in the hand. There are lots of versions of Poker to chose from, each with its own betting round structure.

Classic Slots


Classic Slots games traditionally feature 3 reels and one payline and are often referred to as fruit machines. Our collection of Classic Slots includes single line and multi-line variations including some of the all time greats – Alchemist’s Lab, Crazy 7’s and Safe Cracker – each with their own unique array of themed novelty symbols.

Video Multi-Spin Slots


These slot machines display 5 reels instead of 3 which significantly increase the potential number of possible combinations for a win. Some Video Multi-Spin Slots have as many as 50 symbols rotating on their reels including scatter and bonus symbols which pave the way for entry into bonus rounds in which payouts are massively multiplied.
