| Licence
Roman Casino operates under a gaming licence granted by the government of Romania. Established, licensed, and fully functional since 4/1/1999. 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
In
baccarat the best bet is always on the banker and the fewer the decks
the better the banker bet is. Roman Casino uses eight decks, so
the casino's edge on a banker bet is 1.06% and 1.24% on a player bet.
There are other casinos using six or even one deck only, which on the
one hand lowers the house edge on a banker bet to 1.01%, but on the
other hand increases the house edge on a player bet up to 1.29%. These
differences in percentage do not seem large, but they do have a
considerable impact on play in real life. Dealt and played using
"standard" rules, a winning Banker bet is charged a 5%
commission. Ties pay 8:1 so the casino's |
Baccarat
advantage is 14.11% on ties.
Again, many other casinos pay you 9:1 on ties, which lowers the house
edge to 4.8% on a tie bet. The table
limits are set to $1-$200. Since betting limits are considered to
be important when playing baccarat, low betting limits are certainly
negative. But Roman Casino seems to be one of the few online casinos to
allow you playing Baccarat for as low as $1 which increases the fun
factor. To sum it up it can be said that Roman Casino's baccarat is
rather standard with pretty bad odds for the player and pretty good betting limits for
casual Baccarat players. Your personal dealer will also bid you "Good Luck" when
you leave the table. Play

Blackjack
Set:
Roman Casino uses 6 Decks are used
which is standard. It makes it more difficult to keep track of the
cards. It is difficult to find an online casino making
card counting more easy anyway, but there are some using four, two or even only one deck.
The cards are shuffled at about
25% penetration level (after about 25% of the deck was played) which is
good because it helps you to keep track of the cards more easily. The table
limits are set to $1-$200. It is very good to be able to wager only $1
per hand since many online casinos have a table minimum of $5 which
forces you to lose your bankroll much
faster. The house edge with the rules listed below is 0.33% which we
consider standard. Be aware of that you can find much better
blackjack games online.
Rules: You can play only one hand at once which |
Blackjack
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 and
standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards but you
cannot double down after you have split pairs. This is what land
based casinos offer you but should be 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 the cards up to
three or four hands. If the dealer's up-card is an ace, the player has
an option of taking insurance (causes you to lose only half of your bet
if the Dealer has a Blackjack). When the dealer has an 10, or an ace
showing, the chance of losing is greater than 75%, which makes it a good
option for you.
There is no
surrender offered. There are better blackjack games online.

Caribbean Poker
The
basic house edge for this game is 5.2% which doesn't make it look
competitive compared to other games. American Roulette has a higher (the
highest?) house edge though. The deal is quick, no waiting around for the
cards to meander slowly across the screen. What makes this game interesting
usually is the side bet
of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain paying
hands (flush or better). This additional payoff is a percentage of a |
Caribbean
Poker
progressive Caribbean Poker jackpot most of the times. The Caribbean
Poker game at Roman Casino does not offer such a side bet with these
certain extra payoffs.
Actually the $1 side bet is a sucker bet when the jackpot is low, but since it gets
very big at some online casinos the house edge decreases and really makes it worth a try.
To sum it up: There certainly are casinos with much better
payoffs and a progressive jackpot running for Caribbean Poker. Betting
limits are set to $3-$100. Play

Craps
Roman
Casino offers 2x odds: if you bet $10 on the pass-line (bet, that
the player will win), you can increase your
original bet by $20 after the dice have been thrown (to wager behind). To wager behind is
what a good craps player will do and a criteria of a good craps game is
how many odds the casino offers you. As the amount of allowed odds
increases, the house advantage decreases considerably. When making the
odds bet 1x - as most online casinos do - the house edge is 0.85% /
0.68% (pass / don't pass). When
making the odds bet 2x - as Roman Casino does - the house edge is
cut down to 0.61% / 0.45%
|
Craps
already. Online Casino usually offer you up to 3x odds
(land based casinos sometimes offer you up to 100x odds). But Roman Casino does not
exactly offer the 2x odds the way land based casinos do: 2x usually
means that you can wager behind twice the amount you could win. So if the
odds are 2x and you bet $10 on the pass-line, you could win $20 and
hence wager $40 behind it. Because Roman Casino does not follow the
real rules - as almost no online casino does - the basic house edge is
0.61% / 0.58%. The table limits are set to $1-$200. There are better online casinos to play craps at, but
Roman Casino is a good one as well.

Keno
There
are 80 balls from which 20 are drawn. You pick up to 10 numbers and try
to match. The graphics are very nice. Limits are $1 to $100 which is
excellent; other online casinos usually allow you to bet up to $10 only.
Roman Casino has an average payout of nearly 87.5% for Keno.
(86.28% when counting all 10 picks including pick 1 which always pays
only about 75%, and
|
Keno
87.48% when not counting pick 1). This payout ratio is better than what land-based
and online casinos, since they pay back 70% - 75% on average. There are online
casinos though paying exceptionally good: up to about 95%. The spread of
the payouts is very interesting here and lots of fun to play. You
certainly can give it a try but be aware of that there are better places
to play keno at. Play

Let it Ride Poker
The
basic house edge for this game is 3.5%. The deal is quick, no waiting around for the
cards. What makes this game interesting
usually is the side bet
of $1 for which you will receive an additional payoff for certain paying
hands (flush or better). This additional payoff is most of the
times a percentage of a
progressive Let It Ride Poker jackpot. The Let It Ride Poker game at Roman Casino does not offer such a side bet with these
|
Let
it Ride Poker
certain extra payoffs.
Actually the $1 side bet is a sucker bet where the
progressive meter causes the house edge to vary greatly. If the jackpot is
small, the house edge is huge ( up to 70%), but since the progressive
jackpots get
very big at some online casinos the house edge decreases and really makes it worth a try.
To sum it up: There certainly are casinos with much better
payoffs because of their progressive jackpot running for Let It Ride Poker.
Betting limits are set to $3-$198.

Pai Gow Poker
You
are paid even money on all winning
hands less a 5% commission. The
dealer is always the bank which sets the basic house edge at 2.85%.
Actually only a Pai Gow Poker game where the casino alternates the turn
of the banker is good; it would set the house edge at 1.46%. It works
like this: In the event of an exact match between hands, called a copy,
the tie goes to the banker. (The probability that the front hands will
copy
|
Pai
Gow Poker
is 2.55% and the probability that
the 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 alternates you end up with the
aforesaid 1.46% house edge. Almost every online casino only lets the
dealer bank. So does Roman Casino. The table limits
are set to $1-$200 which is pretty good for beginners. There are better
Pai Gow Poker games out there. Play

Red Dog
This
is a simple game where the player makes an 'ante' , then two cards are
chosen and 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.
3rd card fits in 1-card-spread
pays 5 : 1
3rd card fits in 2-card-spread pays 4 : 1
3rd card fits in 3-card-spread pays 2 : 1
3rd card fits in 4-card-spread pays 1 : 1
Three cards of the same kind pay 11 : 1 |
|
Red
Dog
The game itself is difficult to find these days in
land-based casinos and not all online casinos offer Red Dog. In Red Dog
the greater the number of decks the better are the odds for the player.
This is because of the greater probability of drawing the right card or
a three of a kind, which pays 11:1. Since Roman Casinos 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%. Limits are $5-$250. Play
|
American
Roulette
This
is a double-zero wheel (containing one 0 and one double- 00) which sets the casino's basic edge at
5.3%,
which actually is too high to play here. Roman Casino does not
use the 'la partage' rule: the player loses only half the bet on the
'outside' bets should one of the zeros come up (the 'outside' bets are
high, low; red, black; odd and even). Also called the 'en prison'
rule. If Roman Casino used this rule, the casino's edge on those
bets would be cut down to 2.63%. If you
are an outside bettor, who likes |
American
Roulette
to bet on high, low, red, black, odd or even
only, you should look for the American roulette version offering the
'la partage' rule in another
casino, since it offers slightly better odds for those bets
(2.63%). But if you prefer to bet on all bets alike, you really should
play the European roulette, since the house edge there is 2.7% on all
bets. Consider that inside bets offer far better payouts than outside
bets, so bet the middle 12 once in a while. The betting
limits are set to $1-$200.
If you would like to bet higher, go to Global-Player
Casino. You can bet up to $6,000 there.

Sic Bo
Sic
Bo, meaning "dice pair" is an ancient Chinese gambling game in
which you bet
on the combinations that three dice can make. Generally Sic Bo offers
very bad odds for the player. Roman

as you would expect in land based casinos. There are some online casinos
offering almost twice as good payoffs for Sic Bo. Look out for them and
do not waste your time playing Sic Bo here. Play

Slots
It
is difficult to calculate the payout probabilities of slot machines
without knowing exactly how many times a certain symbol appears on each real.
You could sit in front of the machine, pull the lever 500,000 times and
write the results down or rely on the information that Roman Casino gives you.
According to their accounting |
Slots
firm Delouite Touche their payout is more
than 98% which is good amongst online casinos. So we would
advise you to try your luck here. It is a petty though that they offer
only two slot machines none of them metering a progressive jackpot. The betting denominations are 5c, 10c,
25c, $1, $2, $3, $4, or
$5. This choice of denominations is excellent. Play
