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 Players Land Casino uses six decks, the house edge on a banker bet is 1.06% (it would be 1.01% if played with one deck). Dealt and played using "standard" rules, if you win by betting on the banker, the bank receives a 5% commission (land-based casinos take 4%). The six-deck house edge on a player bet is 1.24% (where the one deck house edge on a player bet is 1.29%). These differences in percentage do not seem large, but they do have a considerable impact on play in real life. A winning bet on a tie pays 9:1 which really is wonderful since it lowers the casino's advantage from 14.44% (15.75% in 1-deck and 14.36% in 8-deck baccarat) down to 4.93%. Not many online casinos offer this generous payout on ties.
Set: The stakes (table limits) are set to $5-$200 which is standard. You might want to bet big when playing baccarat and you certainly will find online casinos offering higher maximum table limits.
Summary: Players Land Casino offers a very good baccarat game because of the good odds on ties (9:1). This is not the right place for high rollers though.

Blackjack

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: Best Blackjack List.
|
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 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. Players Land Casino is rather the b) type casino. The average payout here is nearly 85% (83.89% for all 15 picks and 84.52% when not counting the pick 1 which always pays 75% only). This payout ratio is better than what land-based offer but standard when it comes to online casinos.The best bet is on pick 11 offering a return of 86.75%.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $1, $5, and $10 which is very good, because it sets the maximum win to US $1,000,000 (One Million US Dollar). Other online casinos do not offer such a big payout on the maximum matches.
Summary: Overall, Players Land Casino offers returns ranging from 82.7% to the high of 86.75%, except for the Pick 1, which always pays 3:1 for a return of 75%. This payout ratio is standard. Betting limits are excellent.

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. 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.
Set: Usually online casinos offer 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. Players Land Casino does not offer such a side bet. Actually a shame. The table limits are set to $5-$500.
Summary: There certainly are online casinos with much better Caribbean Poker games offering at least a side bet.

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) and get the chance to win the progressive jackpot (steadily increasing). 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%). Players Land Casino offers quite small jackpots only so the house edge is around 70%. As you can see actually this is a sucker bet (bad bet) that should be avoided. Besides, Players Land Casino can choose which of the two different pay tables shown in the table below it wants to use. So stay alert and check it from time to time.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $5-$250.
Summary: Players Land Casino offers a standard Let It Ride Poker game. You can find better ones. The stakes are alright.

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 Players Land Casino the dealer is always the banker though which sets the basic house edge at 2.86%. Almost every online casino lets only the dealer be banker. So does Players Land Casino.
Set: Usually a progressive jackpot is paid out if any 5 cards of the 7 cards you are dealt make up a royal flush. Players Land 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). Stakes (table limits) are $5-$200.
Summary: A little worse than standard pai gow poker. 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 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.1 card spread pays 5 : 1 2 card spread pays 4 : 1 3 card spread pays 2 : 1 4 or more card spread pays 1 : 1 Three of a kind pays 11 : 1 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 Players Land Casino uses only 2 decks the house edge is 3.08% which we consider too high to play here since there are online casinos playing Red Dog with 8 decks, cutting the house edge down to 2.75%.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $5-$250.
Summary: Red Dog at Players Land Casino is not good enough to play it here.

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 Best Roulette List.

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
|
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: Players Land Casino features a set of 15 different video poker machines, all of them offering a very good payout of 98% and more. They even have the best paying machine on the net which is their Joker Poker machine offering a payout of 100.18%.
Set: See table below.
Summary: Overall, video poker and slots seem to be Players Land Casino's best games and even one of the best among all online and land-based casinos.

War

War Review
Game: Sometimes called "Battle Royale" or "Royal Rumble" war is a card game where each player and the dealer get one card. If your card is of a higher rank you win.
Odds: Again, if your card is of a higher rank you win. If the dealer's card is higher you lose. If it is a tie (same rank) you can surrender and lose your bet (you lose only half the bet when playing in land-based casinos) or go to war: you double your bet and play another game. If your second set of cards beats the dealer you win even money on the total wager (in land-based casinos you win even money on the raise only and get back your original wager). If the dealer's second card is greater you lose both bets. If there is a tie you lose (there are online casino offering you a 3:1 payout on ties after going to war which sets the basic house edge at 0.66%!). You can bet on a tie from the start as well, which pays 10:1 if the first two cards tie. The house edge on the tie bet is 18.65% though. The basic house edge depends on the number of decks used and lies between 2.42% (1 deck) and 2.9% (8 decks). Players Land Casino uses only 1 deck which is very good since it sets the basic house edge at 2.42% (most land-based casinos use 6 decks offering a house edge of 2.88%).You should always go to war to keep the house edge as low as possible.
Set: Stakes (betting limits) are $5-$100.
Summary: Casino War at Players Land Casino is bad. Find an online casino offering a 3:1 on ties after going to war.
