You have been playing for years and you are still waiting for the prize patrol to show up?

You can't win until your number is drawn. Your chances of winning are described on the literature that comes with those materials. Take a gander at your chances of winning ... they are usually one in several billion, and maybe once a year. So, if you lived to be several billion years old, you might win ... eventually. It's all in the luck of the draw ... if you are depending upon this "windfall" to pay off your debts and/or buy a new house, you best find other alternatives. It's a lot like gambling ... you will never know when the machine will hit the jackpot.

Rules for Rhum 32 card game?

Rhum 32 is a casino table game that has similarities with rummy and blackjack. The aim of the game is to have a lower cumulative card value than the dealer. The dealer will "qualify" and pay both the ante and bet if and only if the player has a lower cumulative value in their five card hand and the dealer hand totals 32 or less.

The game goes like this, the dealer deals four cards to each player at the table including himself. His last card is dealt face up. After the player decides whether he will surrender his ante or bet (double his ante) the dealer deals another card to each player including himself. The cards are then exposed and the bets paid according to a payout ratio that rewards lower hand values. The card values are Ace = 1, 2 - 10 = face value, and Jack, Queen and King = 10.

A hand value can be decreased if it has three or more suited running cards ex. 7,8,9 Spades or three or more of a kind. This is called a spread and the total value of the cards in a spread is zero. Hence a player can end up with a hand value of zero (Kinda like hitting a Royal Flush, Lucky Him/Her).

Rhum is considered a community game like black jack and a player folding when he should'nt normally leaves some players aggravated especially when the dealers final card turns out to be really low.

As Matka (also known a Satta) is a form of lottery, it would need individual state approval to be run anywhere in the United States, and this is has not currently taken place.

What is live action blackjack?

Live action blackjack is simply real blackjack with a real dealer.

The opposite of live action blackjack is video black jack where the entire game is computer controlled.

In the real world at a casino you will not typically find it called live action blackjack (even though that is what it is) because any table game with a living human dealer is by default "live action". So they simply call it blackjack for the game with a real dealer and video blackjack for the machine version.

The term "live action blackjack" is most often used by online websites which offer a type of blackjack where there is a live dealer broadcasting over the web so that you can play online with a real living dealer.

Some players are simply more comfortable with human dealers.

Is there any need for a casino host?

Over the years, I've had many people ask, why choose an independent casino host rather than deal directly with each casino? It's a question worth asking, especially if you've only dealt directly with the casino or you are new to the gaming world. Going to a Las Vegas casino with not only a host, but with an independent one, will absolutely make your experience more enjoyable.

There are three main reasons for choosing an independent host over dealing with the casinos directly for yourself:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, an independent host will act on your behalf with the casinos. Often, as in our case, we rely on many years experience in dealing with casinos to ensure clients receive the most in return for their casino play. A good host will work to earn their clients "comps" before they walk through the doors of the casino. Just as important, an independent host also reconciles your comps after your casino visit to ensure you're being treated fairly.
  • Second, aside for usual trips to Las Vegas, when people plan casino adventures, they often look to escape for a "get away" and check out several options in the Caribbean. Throw in the occasional trip to Atlantic City or New Orleans and you're potentially dealing with several casino hosts, if you deal with them directly. By working solely with an independent host, you avoid the hassle of having to deal individually with each casino. With an independent host, you can take comfort in dealing with someone who understands who you are, what you like and what kind of player you are. It's a one-stop service for every casino you may want to visit.
  • Finally, have you ever heard the old adage, "Two hosts are better than one"? When you work with an independent host, you are also assigned an on-site host as well. Together, these two hosts provide you with an elevated level of service before, during and after your stay. However, the big advantage with having an independent host is that the on-site host works solely for the casino while the independent host works for you.

Going with an independent casino host, like my personal favorite, The Casino Marketing Group provides exceptional customer service and they will work to earn their clients comps before they walk through the doors of the casino. This group has been in business for over 35 years and it shows.

The bottom line is that the success of your independent host depends on her/his relationship with you, the client, knowing exactly what you want and how to service your needs.

Success is also derived from the hosts' relationships with the casinos that they represent. When you add additional services including travel, restaurant and entertainment reservations, and recommendations, you truly have a one-stop service for all your casino related entertainment.

What does 1X or X2 mean in Football betting?

In betting terms 1 denotes the home team, 2 denotes the away side and X represents the draw.

So 1X means the home side to win or the match to end as a draw. X2 means a draw or the away side to win.

This is also referred to as the "Double Chance" market in the betting markets itself.

Example:

Manchester United v Arsenal

1X = Manchester United to win or draw (This is the same as backing Manchester United on the Double Chance)

X2 = Arsenal to win or draw (This is the same as backing Arsenal on the Double Chance)

N.B. You can also view 1X as laying the away side and X2 as laying the home side.

How can people gamble in Las Vegas?

If you are asking because you are too young to gamble, then forget it. I went to Vegas for my friend's 21st birthday, and I found out that they take underage gambling VERY seriously. You can't do ANYTHING in Vegas if you're underage. They NEVER forget to check IDs, and they are very well-trained to spot fake ones.

Actually, at one point, one of the girls who was with us couldn't find her ID, and she literally sat down on the sidewalk and started bawling, because she knew the fun was over if she didn't have an ID. Now, all of us were pretty intoxicated, so it's safe to say she was being overly-histrionic. But not by much. (Luckily for her, it turned out that her ID had just fallen into the folds of her purse, so, she didn't have to go home).

My advice is to just wait until you're 21. The trip will be so much more fun when you know you don't have to worry about being caught with a fake ID.

I guess you could try getting a fake ID. I had some pretty nice ones when I was under 21. But I bought all my fake IDs before September 11, 2001. I have a feeling that good fake IDs are a lot harder to get now, since a bunch of terrorists used them to board the planes they hijacked. And Vegas is so strict about underage gambling, that I really would not feel confident presenting them with a fake ID...not even my best one.

If you are asking because you are of legal age to gamble, but you just don't have an ID...well, check out the Related Question below. You could probably get away with gambling at Vegas without an ID, but if you should happen to win big, you will not be able to collect the money without an ID.

Of course, everyone knows that winning big in Vegas is the impossible dream...but do you really want to gamble, knowing that there is absolutely no chance of you ever coming home with a ton of cash? You basically know ahead of time that you're not going to win anything substantial, which kinda takes the fun out of gambling.

How do you make bets on the craps table and win?

If you're asking the basic rules of craps, i.e. what bets win and lose based on the value of the dice, you should read a basic craps rules introduction; they're everywhere on the web. Basically, you or someone else rolls the dice. If you roll 7 or 11 you win; 2, 3, or 12 and you lose. If you roll anything else (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10), you now have to roll that number AGAIN before rolling a 7. That's the most basic bet, called the Pass line. The Don't Pass is basically the opposite, betting that the shooter will roll a 7 before rolling that number again - "making the point." There are a ton of other bets on the craps table, but many of them are self-explanatory. Again, find a basic introduction.

If you're asking how you can maximize your odds, the answer is to play the Pass or Don't Pass with odds, and to buy numbers. Stay out of the field and off the horn (the big section of specific bets down the center of the table).

If you're asking how you can gain an edge over the house, sorry, it can't be done. Pass line odds in most casinos pay true and correct odds, making them the only real even-money bet in the whole place. You can't gain an edge though, sorry.
