 Progressive Poker is Three Card Poker is Casino BragThree
Card Poker was derived from the centuries old game called Brag by British
inventor Derek Webb. This game was first installed in the Isle of Man before it
went the USA for widespread use. It is comprised of two independent bets. The
player may play either or both in any amount, without going over the house
limit. To understand this aspect, look at the table layout for each player.
On the top is the Pair-Plus bet (circle) which pays solely on
the three cards dealt to the player. The payouts are 1-1 for any pair, 4-1 on a
flush, 6-1 on a straight, 33-1 for a three of a kind and 35-1 for a straight
flush. (not exactly sure yet as it hasn't been released) There is absolutely no
strategy with this Pair-Plus option. The house advantage on Pair-Plus is a fair
2.32 percent with these payouts.
On the bottom is the Ante
(diamond) and Play (rectangle) proposition, which puts the player’s
three-card hand in competition with the dealer’s three-card hand. After
seeing his cards, the player who had put an Ante up may either fold, or call
for a showdown against the dealer’s hand by placing a bet (equal to the
Ante) in the Play box. If the dealer does not have at least a Queen High in his
hand, the player wins and is paid 1-1 on the Ante. If the dealer has a Queen
High or better hand, but does not beat the player’s hand, the player is
paid 1-1 on both the Ante and Play wagers. If the dealer’s hand beats the
player’s hand, the player loses both the Ante and Play bets.
The
player is awarded "guaranteed" bonuses on the Ante bet, regardless of what
ensues in the competition. These are payouts of 1-1 for a straight, 4-1 on
three of a kind, and 5-1 on a straight flush. The overall house advantage is
2.14 percent for those who opt for the Ante/Play feature, which gives the
players the additional opportunity to win on Ace High, King High and Queen High
hands, which comprise 44 percent of all hands.
Optimal
strategy in ante and play is to raise if you have a queen/6/4 or greater,
regardless of the bonus pay table. Overall the player stands to lose 8.66% of
the original wager but win 5.29% on the bonus.

| Sic Bo |
|
|
| |

 This dice game has many names but the original is
Grand Hazard. The chinese call it Sic Bo which means "Dice Bowl" in
reference to the bowl that three dice and held before rolling. In America it is
known as chuck-a-luck. It is not the same as hazard.
Basic equipment includes three dice and a chute (or cage or bowl),
containing a series of inclined planes that tumble the dice as they fall. The
only material difference between Sic Bo (grand hazard) and chuck-a-luck is in
the layout: the Sic Bo layout is more complex and provides spaces for wagering
on odd or even, high or low, triples (called raffles), and any number the dice
may total, from 4 to 17. The percentage in favour of the house when a player
bets on any particular number varies considerably.
The bottom row of
the Sic Bo table has six betting areas. These are called single number bets. If
one of the three dice comes up as one the numbers bet on (from 1-6), you get
paid out at 1 to 1. If two numbers come up you get paid out at 2 to 1 and if
three numbers come up you get paid out at 3 to 1.
The two number
combination bets consist of placing a wager on any 2 dice combinations. If you
wager on a 6,4 combination and the result of the dice roll was 4,7,6, you would
win at 6 to 1 odds. You can only win on one instance of the two-number
combination.
A three number total wager consists of combining the total
shown on the resulting dice roll. Different totals have different odds. A
result of 3 or 18 is always a loss. The payouts are as follows: 4 or 17, 50 to
1; 5 or 16, 25 to 1; 6 or 15, 15 to 1; 7 or 14, 10 to 1; 8 or 13, 6 to 1; 9 or
12, 5 to 1; 10 or 11, 5 to 1.
You can wager on whether the combined
total of the dice roll will be either between 4-10 or 11-17. This wager pays
out at 1-1 odds. All small or big wagers lose if the result of the dice is a
triplet.
Triplets are when the dice roll are all one number. So if you
wagered on three 6's and that was the dice result you would win at 150-1 odds.
You can also wager on all six triplet bets at once, this is called "Any
Triplet" and pays out at 25-1 odds.
Pairs are when the resulting dice
roll contains a pair of the same number. Whether you have two fives or three
fives you still only win once and you win at odds of 11-1.
If you must
play Sic Bo then do so for small money that it pure fun. I suggest sticking to
only the 'low' and 'high' bets.

 "Round and round and round she goes, where she stops
nobody knows!"
Otherwise known as The 'Wheel of Fortune' or Big 6 Wheel
in the United States. This game is played on a large vertical wheel. There are
inlaid currency notes of various denominations. The player bets on which
denomination the indicator will stop on.
The wheel is divided into 52
or 54 segments.
The table layout shows notes identical to those on the
wheel. Match the note with cash or chips to place a bet. The smaller the value
the lower the odds because there are more of them on the wheel.
