Palace Casino was developed by Aqua Online, which is also sometimes referred to as Cytech. The company was founded in South Africa, where it is publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange offering e-commerce services for large, non-gaming clients. Most of its revenue, however, comes from the online gaming industry, and most of that work originates in Aquas London office. This center also operates a call center and support staff handling email queries from players at its clients casinos.
Through a third party, a British Virgin Islands company called Cyber Finance Investments, Aqua offers e-cash services to its gaming clients. This includes fraud management as well as banking relationships and casino/player account reconciliation.
| 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.

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 Palace Casino offers a very good baccarat game (single-deck) with pretty bad odds on player and tie bets but excellent betting limits for high rollers.

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. Palace Casino offers returns ranging from 92.90% to the high of 96.54. This payout ratio is excellent. Betting limits are excellent as well.

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 a slightly worse house edge though.
Anyway, Palace Casino makes this game interesting because it offers you a side bet of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain paying 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. Their jackpot usually is about $60,000 which results in a house edge of 57%. Only when the jackpot is very high ($250,000) the house edge decreases enough to really make this side bet worth a try. When you review the payoff chart keep in mind that some online casinos offer you a 999:1 payout for a Royal Flush.The strategy for Caribbean Poker is quite simple: you should raise on any pair or better and fold on anything less than ace/king.
Summary: That's a standard Caribbean Poker game offering the option of a side bet. There certainly are online casinos with much better Caribbean Poker games.

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 Palace Casino one of the worst places to play Red Dog at. There are online casinos offering red dog played with eight decks, cutting the house edge down to 2.75%.
Summary: This is one of the worst red dog games to find. The stakes (betting limits) are very bad as well.

Roulette (European)
|
European 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 'European' single-zero roulette (with only one zero on the wheel) which sets the basic house edge to 2.7%. That's actually far better than the American roulette version which usually has an incredible basic house edge of 5.26%. But Global-Player Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 on a spin there.

Scratch Cards

Scratch Cards Review
Game: Scratch Cards are like lottery tickets where you scratch off a protective covering to reveal matching numbers or something similar.
Odds: This scratch-off game has a winning multiplier that goes up to 50x, so for your $2 bet you'll walk away with $100 if you win. There is absolutely no way to estimate what the overall payback may be.
Set: Limits are $2 to $200.
Summary: Palace Casino is one of the few casinos that offer scratch cards at all. If you enjoy playing them, do it.

Slots

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: Palace Casino's best games.
