Reef Routine Poker

Reef Routine Poker is based on regular poker hands. To play, you need to place an "ante" wager before being dealt your 3 cards face down and 2 common cards dealt in front of the dealer. You must make the best 5-card poker hand possible using the 2 common cards together with your 3 cards. You may only play one hand. Before the dealer reveals the first of the common cards, you have the option to place another bet, equal to your ante, on the "1st raise". After the first common card is revealed, you may again elect to place a wager equal to your ante on the "2nd raise". Both raises are optional, and you still remain in the game if you choose not to raise.

Once both common cards have been revealed the dealer will check each player's hand to see if it qualifies. Your ante and any raise bets are each paid at the following odds:
* Pair of 10's or better 1 to 1
* Two pairs 2 to 1
* Three of a kind 3 to 1
* Straight 8 to 1
* Flush 10 to 1
* Full House 12 to 1
* Four of a Kind 25 to 1
* Straight Flush 50 to 1
* Royal Flush 250 to 1

Blackjack

A "blackjack" is an Ace and any 10-value card dealt as the first two cards. Winning blackjacks are paid at odds of 3 to 2, and beat a score of 21 made with more than two cards. To play, just place a wager on the betting area and the dealer will then deal two cards face up to each player at the table and one card to the dealer's hand. Jack, Queen and King count as 10, Ace counts as 1 or 11, and the other cards have their face value.

If your hand is equal to the dealer's hand, it is a stand-off. If you believe the dealer's first card is too strong then, before any more cards are dealt to any of the players, you may choose to "surrender" your hand by forfeiting half your bet to and withdrawing from that round of play. If the dealer's first card is an Ace no surrender option will be offered. If the dealer's first card is an Ace, you may make a side bet (only up to half of your original bet) on the "insurance" line before any more cards are dealt to any of the players. If the dealer's second card is a 10-value card, insurance wins and pays 2 to 1 on the dealer's blackjack. If the dealer's card has any other value than a 10, the insurance bet is forfeited.

The odds offered are excellent and are as follows:

Roulette

The wheel has 37 compartments numbered 0 to 36. There is one green zero, 18 red numbers and 18 black numbers. The dealer spins the ball and when the ball comes to rest this will be the winning number. Because several players can bet on the same number, you should ask for "colour chips" when buying in to play on the numbers, so that you can easily distinguish your bets. When buying colour chips they will be at the table minimum unless you ask for them at a higher value and the dealer will then place a marker to your colour showing its new value.

Your colour chips can only be used at that table since only your dealer knows how much each chip is worth. Before leaving that table, exchange your colour back for "cash chips" of fixed denominations which can be used on any table in the casino.

You can wager on specific betting areas that the winning number will be black or red, odd or even, low (1 to 18) or high (19 to 36). These bets are paid at odds of even money but lose when zero is spun. Or you can wager on the individual numbers (including zero) or combinations of the numbers by placing your chips in the following manner:
