Playing Spanish 21 FALLSVIEW CASINO RESORT & CASINO NIAGARA Playing SpANISH 21 NIAGARA FALLS ~ CANADA SPANISH 21 Minimums and maximums, and maximum payouts are posted at the table. Spanish 21 is an exciting, fast-paced version of regular Blackjack (21). Spanish 21 is played with a deck consisting of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Jack, Queen, King, & Ace…no 10’s! While basic Blackjack rules apply, it is the Match Play, Bonuses, Super Bonus and Late Surrender rules that make this game a Casino favourite. Blackjack Player Blackjack always beats Dealer Blackjack and pays odds of 3 to 2. Late Surrender If a Player is dissatisfied with their first two cards, they may surrender instead of ‘taking a hit’ or ‘standing’, thereby forfeiting half (½) of the original bet and removing themselves from the current round of play. The Player must indicate to the Dealer, their intent to surrender. Surrendering is not allowed on a Dealer Blackjack. The hand signal to surrender: place your hand palm up and move your fingers backward and forward a few times. Pair Splitting A Player may split cards of equal value including Aces creating up to four hands – hitting and doubling of split hands, including Aces is allowed. Bonus 21 payouts are paid on split hands. Splitting or doubling voids the Super Bonus. Double Down A Player may Double Down once with two or more cards, on any total, even after splitting. When doubling, a Player can place any wager up to a maximum of their original bet. Bonus 21 payouts are not paid on doubled hands (see Bonus 21 Payouts). Double Down Rescue If after doubling, a Player is dissatisfied with their non-busted hand, they may rescue or take back the doubled portion of their bet and forfeit their original wager. A double down rescue removes the Player from the current round of play. Bonus 21 Payouts Spanish 21 features nine different Bonus 21 Payouts. Remember, doubling voids all Bonus 21 Payouts. 5 Card 21 Pays 3 to 2 6 Card 21 Pays 2 to 1 7+ Card 21 Pays 3 to 1 6 - 7 - 8 Mixed Suit Pays 3 to 2 6 - 7 - 8 Same Suit Pays 2 to 1 6 - 7 - 8 Spades Only Pays 3 to 1 7 - 7 - 7 Mixed Suit Pays 3 to 2 7 - 7 - 7 Same Suit Pays 2 to 1 7 - 7 - 7 Spades Only Pays 3 to 1 Super Bonus Spanish 21 also pays a Super Bonus of up to $5,000 to the winner and $50 to every other betting Player! A Super Bonus occurs when the Player holds suited 7-7-7 and the Dealer draws 7 (any suit). A bet of $5 to $24 pays $1,000. A bet of $25 or more pays $5,000. When a Super Bonus occurs, the Envy Bonus of $50 is paid to all other betting Players at the table, no side bet required. Splitting and doubling voids Super Bonus. Match the Dealer In addition to their regular bet, a Player can bet on the possibility that either of their first two cards will exactly match the Dealer’s up card in rank. Matches can be suited or non-suited with five possible payouts. A player makes a Spanish 21 wager, and then places an optional second wager in the Match the Dealer betting area. The minimum Match the Dealer bet is $1, the maximum is the amount of the Player’s regular Spanish 21 bet up to a maximum of $50. Once all bets and Match bets are made, regular play begins. The Player will receive two cards face up and the Dealer receives two cards, one face up. If either of the Player’s two cards match the Dealer’s up card, they win! All Match the Dealer bets are settled before the start of the Spanish 21 round.

English, M.S. Marquette University, 2012 An increasing number of empirical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cognitive training (CT) with healthy, cognitively intact older adults. Less is known regarding the effectiveness of commercially available “brain training” programs. The current study investigated the impact of daily CT presented via the Brain Age® software for Nintendo DS on neurocognitive abilities in a sample of healthy, community-dwelling older adults. Over the six-week study, participants in the CT group completed training activities and were compared to an active control group who played card games on the Nintendo DS. At pre-test and post-test, a wide range of empirically validated neuropsychological outcome measures was administered to examine the proximal and distal transfer effects of training.

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

  • How Poor Are Blackjack Players
    gaming operations table games PLAYER ERROR FACTORS IN BLACKJACK: HOW POOR ARE POOR PLAYERS? By Bill Zender Determining the house’s mathematical edge in a game like roulette is quite easy. First, you determine the amount paid to the customer for every positive player outcome and the amount taken by the house for every casino positive outcome. Next, you take the difference between the two and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes. This gives you the house edge, also known as the “house advantage” in percentages (35-37 = -2/38 = -0.0526 = -5.26 percent). The 5.26 percent house advantage means that the casino expects to win, in theory, $5.26 for every $100 wagered on the roulette wheel. Knowing a game’s house advantage establishes a basis for why a table game wins money, which is how the casino generates revenue. All casino games have a mathematical edge that can be calculated using the same principles we used to determine the house advantage in roulette. That is, every game except one: blackjack. The popularity of blackjack makes it the queen of the casino. Blackjack tables in Nevada make up roughly 65 percent of all live casino table games. Blackjack produced more than $1.3 billion during the 2007–2008 fiscal period ending June 30 (State of Nevada). However, the mathematicians have a problem capturing the exact edge the casinos enjoy with this card game. Blackjack has a number of variables that alter the game’s house advantage. First, there are the numbers of decks used to deal the game.

  • Bahama Bonus Blackjack Is a Standard Deck of Playing Cards Is Used, but with All the 10S and the Jokers Removed
    GAME RULES BAHAMA BONUS In Bahama Bonus Blackjack is a standard deck of playing cards is used, but with all the 10s and the Jokers removed. Bahama Bonus Blackjack is derived from the game of Blackjack. The object of the game is to get a hand closer to 21 than the dealer, without exceeding 21. To begin, the dealer deals two cards to each player. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second card faces down. All face cards (King, Queen or Jack) count as 10 each; all other cards count at face value except the Ace, which counts as 1 or 11 as the player decides. An Ace with any Jack, Queen or King on the first two initial cards is a Blackjack. The dealer pays 1½ times your bet for a Blackjack. In Bahama Bonus Blackjack, a Blackjack always wins regardless of the dealer’s hand. If the player does not have a Blackjack, they can stand, hit, double down, or split the cards (create two hands) according to rules posted at the table. The player may draw as many cards as they like, but if they go over 21 they bust and lose. A player’s hand of 21 always wins (except for a Dealer Blackjack). After all players have acted on their hand, the dealer turns their down card face up and stands or draws as necessary. The dealer must hit a soft 17 or less. A soft 17 is any combination containing an Ace that equals 17; this hand is hit because it cannot bust.

  • BLACKJACK the Object Is for You to Draw Cards That Total 21 Or Come Closer to 21 Than the Dealer, Without Going Over
    BLACKJACK The object is for you to draw cards that total 21 or come closer to 21 than the dealer, without going over. All cards are at face value, except for the King, Queen and Jack which count as 10. An Ace will have a value of 11 unless that would give a player or the dealer a score in excess of 21; in which case, it has a value of 1. The dealer starts the game. Every player gets 2 cards, face up. The dealer gets 2 cards, with a Hole Card (1 card face down). Only after all players’ hands are played does the dealer disclose the Hole Card and play the dealer’s hand. Once you have your 2 cards in front of you, you can choose to Stand (draw no more cards), or take a Hit (draw one or more cards) until you reach 21 or come as close as possible. However, if you go over 21, you Break (automatically lose). A winning hand pays even money. Now the dealer turns over the Hole Card and acts on the hand according to the rules of the game. The dealer must draw to soft 17’s and stand on hard 17’s and all 18’s. At the end of the game, if your count is the same as the dealer’s, it is a Standoff (nobody wins). If the player’s count is greater than the dealer’s count and both have not exceeded 21, or the dealer’s count exceeds 21 and the player’s count does not, the player wins.
