Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games when it comes to “card games”. Love2Play.com players love this game and you’ll find it featured all over in our online casino. Blackjack is, before all, a fun game to play – but it can also bring you some cash. If you are up for this kind of activity, take a look at how to play Blackjack online.

Rules of Blackjack

The rules of Blackjack are not very difficult – you only need to get a score which is as near to 21 as possible and it involves the player playing against the dealer or the house. The game starts when the player places the bet. Then, a dealer deals two cards to the player and all cards have values which are assigned to them.

The lowest value is 2 and the highest is 10 (Jack, Queen, and King also have 10). Also, the Ace has a double value and it is either 11 or 1. After you get the two initial cards, you can choose either to hit or to stand. Hit means that the dealer will give you one more card, while stand means that you get to keep your hand of two cards. If you manage to complete the round and not go bust, both you and the dealer must show your hands. The one who is closer to 21 wins the round. If the draw or push happens, your bet is returned to you.

Odds at Online Blackjack

The odds in Blackjack change as different card combinations come out. You have to pay attention to what cards you have and what cards are left in the deck. For example, if you have a 10 dealt, this will reduce house chances from 6% to 8%. The same way, you can also see that 2-8’s that are left in the deck will give the player the advantage while the lack of 9s 10s or Aces will give the house the advantages.

Slots have always been popular among the casino regulars, but their real expansion has started with the introduction of online slots. They have various different varieties and themes and can include many cool symbols, bonuses, and cash opportunities. It does not take a lot to learn how slots work here at Love2Play.com!

What are the origins of slots?

Slots were created back in 1800s when Sittman and Pitt made the first slot prototype in New York. It cost a nickel to bet and there was a drum with a single spin that was responsible for deciding the outcome.

There were no cash prizes back then, only merch and drinks. The long time has passed when Charles Fay, a resident of San Francisco, decided to make three different reels and put 5 symbols in them. The slots started slowly evolving from then on and were really popular back in the 60s and the 70s with the electromagnetic design and control.

Slots Rules

It is really easy to play online slots here at Love2Play.com! You only need to place a bet, click spin and watch the reels stop, possibly bringing you cash prizes. However, this is just the essence. With the introduction of many different features, the players are now needed to actively participate, and some of the slots even have additional side-games. However, the main division of slots is:

• Classic slots – this type of slots have usually three reels and one payline (in the middle). There is a paytable and you only need to match three symbols to receive a payout
• Video slots – video slots have the same basic principles, except for the fact that there are usually more than three reels and that there can be many paylines. They are often animated and involve numerous bonus features

• Do not bet high amounts and make it as repetitive as possible – do not bet high if you want to play slots for a longer time and make sure to activate as many paylines as possible
• Learn bonuses and special features – the more you know the slots, the higher the chances that you’ll use up all the bonuses and special features that it offers

This game is known by different names and some call it double-hand poker while others simply call it Pai Gow poker. This is a contemporary card game present here at Love2Play.com and it is based on Chinese dominoes. The main difference is that there are no tiles like in dominoes, but a standard 52-card deck is used with one joker. The main goal is making 2 poker hands from the hand that has seven cards.

Rules of Pai Gow

In this game, it is the banker against the players. The main difference is that players get an option to serve as the bank. This, however, requires the player to have a huge bankroll if they happen to lose the bet. The hand begins by the players placing a bet after which each player is being dealt seven cards.

They need to make two poker hands out of these seven cards – via a hand of five cards and a hand of two. The hand with 5 cards is also named “behind”, “bottom”, “high” or “big” hand. The two-card hand is called “in front”, “on top”, “small”, “minor”, or “low” hand. One important rule is that the five-card hand must be higher than the hand with two cards.

Rules for The Joker

The Joker (also called the “bug” in this game) is not actually a wild and can replace only aces. The only time when it acts as a wild is to fill out a flush or a straight. The Joker also can act as a fifth card as the five of a kind is also an option in this game. The player has beat the banker only if they beat them in both of the hands. Beating the banker in one and losing in other is a tie and nobody has won. It follows that banker having both hands higher than you will result in you losing your bet.

Strategy for Playing Pai Gow

Here are some of the interesting strategies that will help you understand Pai Gow better:

• If you manage to get Five Aces, make sure to place Aces pair in front
• If you have no pairs, simply put the highest card in the back and 2nd and 3rd highest use in front
• When you manage to hit Four of a Kind and Three of a Kind, make sure to put the highest pair in front and this will make you have a full house in back
• When you manage to get a pair and a Four of a Kind, make sure to place the pair in front and Four of a Kind in back
• If you hit a Full House, it is wise to put a pair in front and Three of a Kind in back
• If you hit a Straight, a Flush, or even a Straight Flush, you want to place the two cards that are the highest in the front and a complete hand in back
