Gamblers Palace Casino is a Java-based casino, so no download is required. Therefore it doesn't have the rich graphics that a regular software-based casino usually offers but on the other hand you don't have to wait for a download and install their software either.
| Licence
It is not known whether this casino is licenced or not. To have a gaming license means that a casino is able to 1) deposit enough money yearly as a financial backup for players (approximately US $50,000 up to US $100,000 per annum), 2) pay the taxes (of about 2,5% up to 5%), and hence 3) is subject to the control of the government that issued the gaming licence in case of any disputes.

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 Gamblers Palace Casino offers a standard baccarat game. There are better online baccarat games in the Internet.

Blackjack (Spanish 21)

Spanish 21 Blackjack Review
Game: Spanish 21 is blackjack with all ten-spot cards being removed from the decks. To compensate for this off balance in the odds, the casinos have made the payouts more rewarding and offer excellent rules for the player.
Odds: Gamblers Palace Casino lets the dealer stand on soft 17 (Ace+6) the house edge is 0.48%. A Spanish 21 game where the Dealer hits soft 17 has a house edge of 0.76%. The payoffs are very tempting.
Set: The dealer stands on soft 17 (Ace & 6) which decreases the house edge: if he gets soft 17, that's it. But if he had to hit on soft 17 he'd get a second chance to draw closer to 21. And if he drew over 21, the Ace would count as 1 and he'd get a third chance to draw closer to 21. You can play up to 5 hands at once which is excellent. Doubling down is allowed on any card count and any number of cards which is far better than what land based casinos offer you. You even can double down after you split pairs which again is exceptionally good. Pairs may be split to 4 hands which is excellent and lots of fun. Even to split aces a second time is allowed. You can surrender after the dealer has looked at his second card (this is called "late surrender"). When the dealer has an 10 or an ace showing, the chance of losing is greater than 75%, which makes the late surrender a good option for you. Even a doubled hand can be surrendered, keeping the initial bet. !!!: A player's blackjack wins over a dealer's blackjack and pays 3:2. The player wins 21 ties. Both excellent rules. Betting Limits are $1-$25, $10-$50, $25-$100 and $100-$250 which is very good because you can bet as little as $1 up to as much as $250.
Summary: That's the best Spanish 21 game ever. We still consider Spanish 21 to hold to big a house edge.

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. Gamblers Palace Casino offers returns ranging from 92.02% to the high of 94.79%, except for the Pick 1, which always pays 3:1 for a return of 75%. This payout ratio is excellent. Betting limits are below average though.

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: Here we finally have a casino offering you the option of being the banker in turn. 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 sets 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 most other online casinos the dealer is always the banker which sets the basic house edge to 2.86%.
Set: The Joker may be used either as an Ace or to complete a straight, flush or straight flush. A winning hand is paid even money and charged a 5% commission (some casinos take a 2% commission only). Usually a progressive jackpot is paid out if any 5 cards of the 7 cards you are dealt make up a royal flush. Gamblers Palace Casino does not offer).

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. No additional rules to decease this huge house edge are offered. For example the 'la partage' rule (also called the 'en prison rule' or 'Hamburg variation of the European half back rule'): if the zero comes up you lose only half your bet when betting on the 'outside' bets (the 'outside' bets are the bets that pay even money: high/low, red/black, odd/even). By losing only half your bet, the house edge on these ('outside') bets is cut down to 2.63% which is slightly better than the basic 2.7% house edge at an European Roulette table. Again, Global-Player Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 on a spin there.

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.

Video Poker Review
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.
Odds: Gamblers Palace Casino are all very good.
