Pai Gow Poker with Progressive
Pai Gow poker is easily our most involved table game. With seven cards, you construct a two card hand and a five card hand to beat the dealer’s hands. Bonus bets can be placed on both your hand and the hands of other players.$10 Minimum Wager per Hand
Buster Blackjack with Trifecta Blackjack
Buster Blackjack & Trifecta Blackjack Side Bets
What is Buster Blackjack?
Buster Blackjack is an optional side bet that wins when the dealer busts.
How it works: If the dealer's hand exceeds 21, your Buster Blackjack wager wins.
Payouts: The payout scales based on how many cards are in the dealer's busted hand. The more cards it takes the dealer to bust, the bigger the payout — a 3-card bust might pay 2:1, while an 8-card bust can pay 250:1 or more.
What is Trifecta Blackjack?
Trifecta is a side bet based on the first three cards in play — your two cards combined with the dealer's upcard.
How it works: You win if those three cards form a qualifying poker hand, such as a pair of Jacks or better.
Timing: Unlike Buster Blackjack, Trifecta is resolved right after the initial deal.
Playing Together
Both are optional side bets, so you can wager on one, both, or neither in addition to your standard blackjack bet. Always check the paytable posted at the table for exact payouts.
Double Down Madness
Double Down Madness BlackjackWhat is Double Down Madness?
Double Down Madness is an exciting twist on classic blackjack where you can double down again and again — giving you more chances to grow your bet on a strong hand.
How it Works
One card to start. Each player is dealt just one card to begin (the dealer still receives two — one face up, one face down). After seeing your card and the dealer's upcard, you decide what to do next.
Hit or double on any card. You can hit or double down at any point in your hand, on any number of cards. Doubling doesn't end your turn — after doubling, you can keep hitting or even double again.
How re-doubling works. Each double adds your original bet to your wager. For example, on a $10 starting bet, your first double makes it $20 total, doubling again makes it $30, and so on.
Player Ace rule. If your starting card is an Ace, you'll receive only one additional card, whether you hit or double.
Doubling into blackjack. If you double down and land a blackjack, you'll receive the posted blackjack payout on both your original wager and your double.
The Push 22 Rule
There's one tradeoff for all that doubling power: if the dealer's final total is 22, all main wagers and doubles push (tie) instead of paying out.
Important: Player blackjacks are paid out immediately, before the dealer plays out the hand, so they're not affected by the Push 22 rule.
Push 22 Side Bet
For an extra layer of action, you can place the optional Push 22 side bet. It wins when the dealer busts with exactly 22, and loses on any other dealer total. See the table paytable for current odds.
Quick Reference
- Splits and surrender are not allowed
- Winning blackjacks pay per the posted paytable
- Always check the table paytable for full odds and house rules
Double Deck Blackjack Match the Dealer Progressive
Classic blackjack with a sharper edge — played with just two decks for faster action and a richer game feel. Pair it with the optional Match the Dealer Progressive side bet for a shot at a growing jackpot every hand.How Match the Dealer Works
When you place the side bet, you're wagering that one or both of your first two cards will match the dealer's upcard. Suited matches pay more than unsuited matches, and a double suited match — both of your cards matching the dealer's upcard in rank and suit — qualifies for the top progressive payout.
The side bet plays independently of your main hand, so you can win it even if you lose the blackjack hand itself. See the posted paytable at the table for current odds and the live progressive jackpot total.

Mystery Card Roulette
All the action of classic roulette with a unique twist — instead of a ball, the winning number is revealed by a card.
How it Works
The game uses a deck of 38 cards numbered 1 through 36, plus 0 and 00 — the same layout you'd find on an American roulette wheel. Place your bets on the familiar roulette table: straight numbers, colors, odd/even, columns, dozens, splits, corners, and outside bets all play exactly as you'd expect.
When betting closes, the dealer spins the shuffler. Once it comes to rest, the selected card is revealed — and that card is the winning number for the round. Payouts follow the standard roulette paytable.
Why You'll Love It
- Same bets, same payouts, same strategy as the roulette you already know
- A fresh, card-driven mechanic that keeps every spin interesting
- Easy to learn whether you're a roulette regular or trying it for the first time
