Baccarat (Mini)

Mini Baccarat Review
Game: In Baccarat you and the banker receive two to three cards to get a point value as close to nine as possible. You have to correctly guess whether you or the banker will win, or a tie will occur.
Odds: In baccarat the best bet is on the banker (bet that the banker will win) and the fewer the decks used the better the banker bet gets. Since 3 Diamonds Casino offers a rather standard baccarat game with pretty bad odds for the player but pretty good betting limits for high rollers.

Blackjack Review
Game: In Blackjack each card has a point value. You first get two cards, calculate their value and decide whether to draw more cards or not where the maximum total points allowed is 21. The dealer does the same thing. You try to be better than him (draw closer to 21).
Odds: The house edge with the rules listed below is 0.49% which we consider lowest standard. Be aware of that you can find much better blackjack games online.
Set: You can play only one hand at once which is frustrating because somewhere else you probably would be allowed to play up to three, four or even five hands at once. The dealer stands on soft 17 (Ace & 6) which is good but standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards and you even can double down after you split pairs which is better than what land based casinos offer you but standard when it comes to online casinos. You may split pairs to two hands only which really is below average, because many other online casinos allow you to split your cards up to three or four hands. Split Aces receive only one more card. When the dealer's face-up card is a ten or an Ace he peaks under the face-down card to tell you if he has a blackjack. Because there is no insurance or surrender offered all bets are lost if he gets a blackjack which is a little unfair since many online casinos offer you one of these options if not both. There are better blackjack games online.

Craps

Craps Review
Game: In Craps two dice are thrown by a player. If he rolls a 7 or 11, he wins. If he throws a 2, 3, or 12, he loses. If he throws any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) he continues throwing the dice and hopes that the same number will be thrown again before the 7 comes up. When the 7 comes up first, he loses. You can bet on the player or the house.
Odds: Best Craps List.

Keno

Keno Review
Game: There are 80 numbered balls. You pick some numbers. 20 balls are drawn. You win of course as more of your picks match the numbers that were drawn.
Odds: There are two types of keno: a) paying you good already when you match only a few picks (therefore decreasing the payouts for matching many picks) and b) paying you good only when you match many picks (therefore decreasing the payouts for matching only a few picks). You have to decide where you prefer to play. I'd play only the a) type. 3 Diamonds Casino keno payoffs are about equally as generous as land based casinos, paying between 71% and 75%. Online casino usually pay between 90% and 95% though.The best bet is on pick 4 with a return of 73.79%.
Set: You may pick 1 to 10 numbers, bet $.25 - $5 per pick, and play 1, 5, or 10 games at a times.
Summary: Find another casino to play keno at.

Poker (Caribbean)

Caribbean Poker Review
Game: In Caribbean Poker you place an ante (bet before game starts) and after having received five cards decide whether to compete against the dealer or not. You simply compare cards. The better hand wins.
Odds: The basic house edge for this game is 5.21% which doesn't make it look competitive compared to other casino games. American Roulette has the same house edge though. And what makes this game interesting is the side bet of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain hands (flush or better). This extra win is based on the value of your own five-card hand, not on the hand of the dealer. So even if the dealer beats you or does not qualify you still get the bonus payoff. There certainly are casinos with much better payoffs for Caribbean Poker but the additional payoff bet at 3 Diamonds Casino offers standard Caribbean Poker version with a nice jackpot. There are better ones.

Poker (Let it Ride)

Let it Ride Poker Review
Game: Let It Ride is a card game based on poker where you first get three cards and then have the option of paying for each more card until you hold five cards. A pair of tens or better will receive a payout.
Odds: The basic house edge for this game is 3.5%. And what makes this game interesting is the side bet of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain paying hands (3 of a kind or better). This extra payoff is based on the value of your own five-card hand, not on the hand of the dealer. So even if the dealer beats you you still get the bonus payoff. This extra payoff usually is based on a progressive meter which causes the house edge to vary. If the jackpot is small, the house edge is huge (sometimes up to 70%). But 3 Diamonds Casino offers a flat pay schedule with a fixed house edge of 22.61%. As you can see actually this is a sucker bet (bad bet) that should be avoided.
Summary: This probably is one of the best Let It Ride Poker games to find at online casinos.

Poker (Pai Gow)
|
Pai Gow Poker Review
Game: Pai Gow Poker is a card game based on poker where you and the dealer get seven cards and have to split them into five and two cards, each of them containing a better hand than the dealer's in order to win (your five card hand has to be better than your two card hand).
Odds: In Pai Gow Poker usually each player gets the chance to be the banker. Actually only a Pai Gow Poker game where the casino alternates the turn of the banker is good because in the event of an exact match between hands, called a copy, the tie goes to the banker. It would set the house edge to 1.46%. (The probability that the two-card hands ("front hands") will copy is 2.55% and the probability that the five-card back hands ("back hands") will copy is 0.32%.) When it is your turn to be the banker the house has only an 0.08% edge over you. Because both the turn of the banker and the 0.08% edge alternate you end up with the aforesaid 1.46% house edge. At 3 Diamonds Casino does not offer such a jackpot.
You are paid even money on all winning hands less a 5% commission (some casinos take a 2% commission only). The default table limits are set to $5-$300. You can change the table limits once you have received your PIN via mail.
Summary: Find an online casino that offers you the option of being banker.

Red Dog
|
Red Dog Review
Game: Red Dog is a simple game where two cards are chosen by the house. You may raise your bet if you think a third card will fit in between the first two. You are given certain payouts for certain spreads. The spread is the number of ranks between two given cards. For example, the spread between a five and an eight is two. The maximum spread is eleven.
Odds: In Red Dog the greater the number of decks the better the odds for the player. This is because of the greater probability of drawing a fitting card or a three of a kind, which pays 11:1. Since 3 Diamonds Casino one of the only places worth playing Red Dog at.
Set: The default table limits are set to $5-$300. You can change the table limits once you have received your PIN via mail.
Summary: One of the best places to play Red Dog at.

Roulette (American)
|
American Roulette Review
Game: A wheel with pockets numbered 0 to 36 is spun in one direction. A ball is spun around the wheel and as the ball slows, it drops into one of the pockets of the wheel. You bet on which pocket the ball will drop into.
Odds: This is an 'American' double-zero roulette (with two zeros on the wheel) which sets the basic house edge to 5.26%. Actually this house edge is too high to play here. But Global-Player Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 on a spin there.
|
Roulette (European)
|
European Roulette Review
Game: European roulette is played the same way American roulette is played.
Odds: This is an 'European' single-zero roulette (with only one zero on the wheel) which sets the basic house edge to 2.7% on all bets. That's actually far better than the American roulette version which usually has an incredible basic house edge of 5.26%.
No additional rule puts you in a more favorable position here, so the house edge stays at 2.7%.If you prefer to bet on one of the inside bets once in a while, you really should play European roulette, since the house edge is 2.7% on all bets. But if you are an outside bettor, who likes to bet on high, low, red, black, odd or even only, you should play their American roulette version since it offers slightly better odds for those bets (2.63%).
Set: It's taken into positive account that Global-Player Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 on a spin there.
Summary: That's a standard roulette table (2.7% house edge) with very good betting limits of up to $1,5000 per spin available in both single- and multi-player.

Slots Review
Game: Slots are machines with three to five wheels with symbols on them, spinning downwards when you pull a lever at their side or similar and coming to a stop after a few rounds of spinning. If the symbols align you win.
Odds: It is difficult to calculate the payout probabilities of slot machines without knowing how many times a certain symbol appears on each real. You could sit in front of the slot machine, pull the lever 1,000,000 times and write the results down or rely on the information that Best Slots List.

Game: In Video Poker you receive five cards and decide which ones to change (only once) in order to make a good poker hand. As better your hand as better the payout gets.
