TRUMP CASTLE'S GUIDE TO GAMBLING Reprinted with permission from Trump Castle Hotel and Casino The following is a description of the casino games as played at Trump Castle according to the rules of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. ROULETTE Give it a spin. Roulette is exciting, easy to play and it really moves. It also offers players many different types of bets and payoffs, from even money (one to one) to 35 to one. Bets may be placed on any marked space. Roulette also allows many bets between numbers. These bets can cover from two to six numbers. After placing your wagers, the Roulette wheel is spun by the dealer in one direction and the white ball is spun in the opposite direction. Winning bets are determined by which numbered slot the ball comes to rest in. The winning number is marked by the dealer. All losing wagers are collected and winning wagers are paid. After all payoffs have been made you may make wagers for the next spin. At the Roulette table with double zero (00), on the even money bets, you will lose only one half your wager if either zero (0) or double zero (00) is the winning number. CRAPS Give it a shot. The fast-action game of Craps offers players a variety of bets. The shooter is the person who rolls the dice in an attempt to establish a "point." A point is the total of the uppermost sides of the two dice which results in either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. If the point is repeated prior to a 7 being rolled, the point is "made" and the PASS LINE wager wins. If a 7 is rolled, the PASS LINE wager loses. The numbers rolled between the point and the 7 do not affect the wager on the PASS LINE or DON'T PASS LINE. But those numbers rolled do affect the outcome of other wagers on the layout. The COME OUT ROLL is the first roll for a permissible wager to be placed prior to establishing a COME OUT POINT. The following paragraphs briefly explain the various wagers that may be made in Craps. Pass line A wager which is placed on the PASS LINE prior to the COME OUT ROLL (the first roll of the dice in an attempt to establisb a point) wins if a 7 or 11 rolls and loses if a 2, 3, or 12 rolls. If any other number rolls (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), it becomes the point, and in order to win the wager the dice must repeat that number before a 7 is rolled. If a 7 is rolled before that point number is rolled, the wager is lost. If this wager wins, it is paid even money. Pass line wagers cannot be placed, reduced or removed after the point is established. Don't pass line A wager which is placed on the DON'T PASS LINE prior to the COME OUT ROLL is the opposite of a wager on the PASS LINE. The wager loses on the COME OUT ROLL if a 7 or 11 is rolled, and wins if a 2 or 3 is rolled; but if 12 is rolled, the wager becomes void (BAR "Two Sixes"). If any other number is rolled, it becomes the point and in order to win the wager, which is paid even money, the dice must roll a 7 before the point is repeated. If the point is repeated prior to a 7, the wager loses. DON'T PASS LINE wagers cannot be placed or increased after a point is established, but may be removed or decreased. Come A wager may be placed on the COME any time after the PASS LINE point is established on the COME OUT ROLL. The rules concerning wins and losses are the same as for the PASS LINE. If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled immediately following the placement of such wagers, the dealer will move the wager and place it in the box of that particular number. This wager is paid even money and cannot be removed after a point is established for such wager. Don't come A wager on the DON'T COME is the opposite of a wager on the COME. The wager may be placed on the DON'T COME any time after the DON'T PASS LINE point is established on the COME OUT ROLL. The rules concerning wins and losses are the same as the DON'T PASS LINE remembering that if a 12 is rolled immediately following placement of such a wager, it becomes void (BAR "Two Sixes). If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled, the dealer will move the wager and place it on the box behind that particular number. This wager is paid even money and cannot be placed or increased, but may be removed or decreased after a point is established for such wager. Odds An additional wager to the original, or flat wager, of the PASS LINE, DON'T PASS LINE, COME or DON'T COME may be made after the point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) for such wager has been established. You may "take" ODDS as an additional wager of the PASS LINE and COME wagers, and you may "lay" ODDS as an additional wager of the DON'T PASS LINE and DON'T COME wagers. The ODDS wagers may be reduced or removed at any time. COME ODDS are "OFF" (inactive) on the COME OUT ROLL. The DON'T COME ODDS are "ON" (active) on the COME OUT ROLL. The ODDS are paid at the true mathematical odds. Field A wager in the FIELD is a one-roll wager that wins if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 is rolled immediately following placement of such wager and loses if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled. The 2 and 12 pay two to one. All the otber numbers pay one to one. Hardways A wager on any one or all of the HARDWAYS of 4, 6, 8, or 10 will win ODDS as listed. The HARDWAYS means that the numbers are rolled in pairs; for example, HARDWAY FOUR is two Deuces, HARDWAY SIX is two Threes, HARDWAY EIGHT is two Fours and HARDWAY TEN is two Fives. When the numbers of 4, 6, 8, or 10 are rolled any other way, it is called an EASYWAY. For example, EASY FOUR is rolled 3 and 1, etc. The wager wins when the number is rolled the HARDWAY and loses when it is rolled the EASYWAY or a 7 is rolled. Any seven A wager on ANY SEVEN is a one-roll wager that wins if a 7 is rolled immedialely after such wager is made and loses if any other number is rolled. Any Craps A wager on ANY CRAPS is a one-roll wager that wins if any one of the Craps numbers 2, 3, or 12 is rolled immediately after the wager is made and loses if any other number ts rolled. BLACKJACK "21" Try your hand at it. Blackjack is probably the most popular casino game. The object of the game is simply to draw cards with a total closer to 21 than the dealer's total without going over 21. Cards are dealt clockwise from a dealing "shoe." Each player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer takes two cards, one face up (upcard) and one face down (hole card). Picture cards (Jack, Queen, and King) count as 10. Aces count as 1 or 11, whichever is to the player's advantage (e.g. Ace, 8, 10=19 or Ace, 8=19). Any other card (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) counts as face value. If your first two cards are an Ace and a 10-value card, you have Blackjack. The dealer will pay you 1« times your wager. Then he'll remove those cards. In the event that the dealer has Blackjack, the hand will be a push (standoff) and you will neither win nor lose. If the dealer makes 21 with three or more cards, a player's Blackjack will win. If you do not have Blackjack on your first two cards, you may decide to "stand" (draw no more cards) or "hit" (draw more cards) until you decide to stand. If your cards go over 21 in total points, your wager loses. If you finish with a total closer to 21 than the dealer's, but not over 21, you win and will be paid even money. If you and the dealer have the same total, you have a standoff or a push. If you have a total that's less than the dealer's, you lose. In the event that a dealer has Blackjack, a player's 21 will lose. Irrespective of player's totals, the dealer must hit 16 and stand with 17 or more. If the dealer goes over 21, he must pay any hands remaining on the table. Doubling down After receiving your initial two cards, unless you have a point total of 21, you may decide to "double down." In this case you would increase your wager by an amount equal to your original wager. You will then receive only one more card on that band. Splitting pairs If your first two cards are the same, you may split them, and form two separate hands, by wagering an amount equal to the origiaal wager. Each hand will be played and completed in turn. You may double down on split hands. You can split only once on any hand. If you split Aces, only one card is dealt to each Ace. If a Ten value card is dealt to either Ace, the hand is treated as 21, not Blackjack. Insurance If the dealer's "up card" is an Ace, he will announce insurance. You may make an INSURANCE BET before any player receives a third card. This involves making a separate wager of up to one half of your original wager. The wager is placed on the insurance line in front of your wager. If the dealer's hole card gives him Blackjack you will be paid two to one on this Insurance Bet. Otherwise, the wager will lose. The Insurance Bet is entirely separate from the original wager. Blackjack In the event that the dealer has Blackjack, the player can only lose his original wager; split and double down wagers are returned to the player. In the event that the player has Blackjack and the deeler does not have an Ace or Ten value card as the first face up card, the dealer shall pay the player's Blackjack wager at odds of three to two and remove the player's cards. If the dealer's face up card is an Ace or Ten value card, the player's hands shall be acted upon.
