21:
21 is the same as blackjack, it is just another name for the game. As indicated by the name the goal is to make a hand that adds up to 21. Face cards are all worth 10 points and an ace can be worth 1 or 11 points, which is up to you. Unlike in poker in this game you are not playing against the other players and the dealer, it I just the dealer. In blackjack any player who has a better hand then the dealer wins. The game is started when the dealer gives each person at the table 2 cards. He will then give each player a chance to take more cads or take none. Anyone who goes over 21 has "busted" which means they lose even if the dealer also goes over.

Since there are 36 numbers on the wheel not counting 0 and 00 you can also bet on if the winning number will be in the first second or third groups of 12 numbers which pays 2 to 1. The biggest payout is 0 and 00 they pay out at 38 to 1 which means a 1 dollar bet will get you 39 dollars back.
