VIDEO POKER
History
Poker is America's best known and most popular card game played both at home and in the casino. While its origins are unknown, it is likely that poker is a direct descendant from the Persian game of Bs Nas. The first direct reference to the game of poker shows its origins in New Orleans around 1830. It became exceedingly popular in America in the mid 1830's spreading from the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to the east via the railroad.
The Game
Poker is a game in which players play against each other or against the house(like in our Casino). The dealer (the machine) will deal the player one hand of five cards each. When the player receives his first hand he must decide which cards to hold (keep) or discard. The objective is to finish the game with the strongest hand possible. The payout at the end of the game is dependent on the value of the hand the player is holding. Wild cards value equals the value you assign to it in order to achieve the best hand possible.

BLACKJACK
History
The BlackJack game comes from French games such as "Chemin de Fer" and "French Ferme". BlackJack originated in French casinos around 1700 when it was called "vingt-et-un" ("twenty-and-one) and has been played in the U.S. since the early 1800's. BlakJack is named as such because if a player got a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards (Spade being the color black of course), the player was additionally payed.
The Game
The main object of blackjack is to beat the dealer with a total equal to or less than 21, without going over 21 or bust. This is based on the four-deck game as played in many casinos in Las Vegas. The dealer will deal two cards to each hand or player including himself his first card is always face down. If the first two cards drawn are an Ace and a 10 value card, that player has Blackjack and will be paid one and one-half times the wager (3 to 2) unless the dealer also has Blackjack, in which case is a draw. The Player not having Blackjack may continue to draw cards attempting to total as close to 21 as possible without exceeding 21, in which case that player "breaks" and loses the wager. Dealer must hit on 16 or less. Dealer must stand on 17 or more.
Cards Value
Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10's each count as 10. Aces count as 1 or 11, the value is adjusted automaticly. All other cards 2-9, count as their face value.
Hit
Receive an additional card.
Stand
No additional card.
Split
The Player will match the original wager and split the first two cards into two separate hands. The two cards must be of the same point value (i.e. a pair of 8's, King and Queen, etc.) In split hands an Ace and ten equal to "21" and not blackjack.
Double
Double your bet with this option, only one additional card is debt. Double down wagring is not permitted on a "BlackJack".
Insurance
When the dealer's up card is an Ace, a Player may buy insurance, an additional amount equal to half of that Player's original wager. A Player may purchase insurance when he/she believes that the dealer's down card is a ten value card. If the Dealer has Blackjack, the insurance wager pays 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the insurance wager loses and the game continues as usual. A Blackjack will beat a point total of "21".
