        <![CDATA[<p>This is Jacks or Better - but Jacks or Better in the Zero Lounge.</p> 
<p><strong>To Play the Game</strong></p>
<p>Set your bet amount by clicking the Bet One or Bet Max button. Your bet 
amount will be shown in the Bet display.</p>
<p>Press the <strong>Deal</strong> button to get 5 cards.</p>
<p>Select the cards you want to hold by clicking on them or the 
<strong>Hold</strong> button.</p>
<p>Press the <strong>Deal</strong> button to have any cards not held discarded 
and replaced.</p>
<p>The result of a winning round can be seen on both the <strong>Pay 
Table</strong> and <strong>Win</strong> displays.</p><br />
<p><strong>Objective</strong></p>
<p>To get the highest poker hand possible.</p><br />
<p><strong>Zero Jacks or Better Additional Features</strong></p>
<p>Payout for a Royal Flush on zero Jacks or Better with 5 coins is 4880, which 
is 22% higher than the standard Jacks or Better payout of 4000. Expected player 
return on zero Jacks or Better (using perfect strategy) is 100.0%*.</p><br />
<p><strong>Rules</strong></p>
<p>A standard 52-card deck is used. <br />This game is similar to poker. The only 
difference is that you are not playing against anyone but trying to achieve the 
highest hand possible to gain higher payouts. After placing your bet, you are 
dealt 5 cards. You have the option of holding your hand, discarding any number 
of cards and replacing them with new cards, or drawing a whole new hand. </p>

<p><strong>Doubling</strong></p>
<p>If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click 
<strong>Collect</strong>), or <strong>Double</strong> it. If you choose to 
<strong>Double</strong>, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 
face-down cards to choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower 
than the dealer's, you lose your original win. If the cards are equal, it is a 
tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (click 
<strong>Collect</strong>) or <strong>Double</strong> again. If your card is 
higher, you win double your original win amount. You then have the option to 
collect your winnings or <strong>Double</strong> again.</p>
<p>You can also choose to <strong>Half Double</strong>, which means you only 
double using half of your winning amount, and deposit the rest into your 
balance.</p>
<p>You can move the <strong>Double</strong> window (if enabled in the Options) 
by dragging it with the mouse. Doubling is a separate game round, and can be 
viewed as such in the Game History. During doubling the Bet screen displays the 
amount wagered for doubling. The Win screen displays the win amount for the 
current round.</p><br />
<p><strong>Payouts</strong></p>
<p>The payout is determined by the hand and the value of the coins bet. 
<br />Specific payout amounts are shown on the Pay Table display.</p><br />

        <![CDATA[<p>This is Roulette - but Roulette in the Zero Lounge.</p>  
<p><strong>To Play the Game</strong></p>
<p>Click on the chip stack located in the lower left hand corner of the game 
screen to select the desired chip value.</p>
<p>Once you have selected the desired chip, click the area(s) of the table where 
you would like to place bet(s). The appropriate chips will appear on the table. 
To remove chips from the bet, right-click on the chip pile on the table. Click 
the <strong>Rebet</strong> button to repeat all your table bets from the 
previous spin.</p>
<p>Once you have placed your bet(s), click the <strong>Spin</strong> button. 
When the ball has stopped in a slot its number will be marked on the table 
layout with a marker. If you win, you will receive a number of chips and your 
balance increases by their value.</p><br />
<p><strong>Objective</strong></p>
<p>In Zero Roulette, the player tries to predict which number slot on the 
Roulette wheel that the ball will land on.</p><br />
<p><strong>The Zero Roulette Additional Features</strong></p>
<p>The rules of Zero Roulette are identical to those in the main lounge, however 
there is one major difference; we have removed the 0 from the wheel and the 
board.</p><br />
<p><strong>Rules</strong></p>
<p>The layout consists of the Roulette Wheel and Table. </p>
<p>The Roulette Wheel is marked with numbers 1 through 36. The numbers are 
alternately coloured red and black.</p>
<p>The Table is divided into two different betting sections - inside bets and 
outside bets. Inside bets are made in the individual numbers area. Outside Bets 
are the 12 group bet spaces outside of the individual numbers area, See "Types 
of Bets" for more detail on the individual Inside and Outside bets that can be 
made.</p>
<p><strong>Types of bets</strong></p>
<p>You can place bets from two different locations on the Roulette screen.</p>

<p><strong>Betting Limits</strong></p>
<p>There are three bet limits in Roulette.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Inside Minimum: This is the minimum allowable amount of a single inside 
  bet. This amount is not cumulative, e.g., if the Minimum Inside Bet amount is 
  set to 10, you cannot place two bets worth 5 each. 
  <li>Outside Minimum: This is the minimum allowable amount for a single outside 
  bet. Again, it's not cumulative. 
  <li>Straight Up Max: This is the maximum that can be placed on a single 
  number. This is the maximum bet from which the maximum bets for other bet 
  positions are calculated. </li></ul>

        <![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="/games/rules/images/zerobaccarat.jpg" alt="Zero Baccarat"></div>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>This is Baccarat - but Baccarat in the Zero Lounge.</p> 
<p><strong>To Play the Game</strong></p>
<p>Click on a chip of desired value to select it. Then move your cursor to the 
middle of the screen and click on any of the three areas on the table (player, 
banker or tie) to place your bet there. Every click on the area adds one chip to 
the bet. Select another chip if you wish to increase the bet by some other 
amount. Right clicking on the area removes one chip. You can place several chips 
into several areas at the same time.</p>
<p>Click the <strong>Deal</strong> button.</p>
<p>Cards are now dealt and you will see the game result. Click <strong>New 
Game</strong> if you wish to play again. Place your bets as described above and 
click <strong>Deal</strong>. You can also click <strong>Rebet</strong> to place 
the same bet as in the previous round.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Objective</strong></p>
<p>The object of Baccarat is to predict if the player or the banker hand will 
get a point value closest to 9. All ten-value cards count as zero and Aces count 
as one. The hand with the highest point value wins.<br />The game is played using 
8 decks of cards, re-shuffled after each round. </p>
<p><strong>The Zero Baccarat Additional Features</strong></p>
<p>In Zero Blackjack the commission taken on winning banker bets is only 2.75% 
instead of the standard 5% commission rate on the game resulting in a 100.0% 
(correct to one decimal place) expected return on Banker bets in the 
game.</p><br />
<p><strong>Rules</strong></p>
<p>The player's hand will be dealt two cards and the banker's hand will be dealt 
two cards. Third cards are dealt according to the rules detailed below.</p><br />
<p><strong>Values</strong> 
<p><strong>Hand Values</strong> <br />The highest total any Baccarat hand can have 
is nine. A two-card total of nine is called a "natural" and cannot lose. An 
eight is the second-best hand and is also called a "natural". If both the player 
and banker are dealt hands of equal value, it's a push (tie) and neither the 
banker nor the player hand wins.</p>
<p><strong>Card Values: </strong><br />Ace = one point <br />Face cards and tens = 
zero <br />All other cards carry the point value stated on the card. If the cards 
in a hand total more than ten points, simply subtract ten; the remainder is the 
baccarat point value of the hand. For example: 7+Jack=17, which counts as a 7 in 
baccarat; and a Ace+8=9, which counts as 9. </p>
<p><strong>Third Card Rules</strong><br />The following baccarat rule chart 
governs when the player and/or the banker will automatically draw a third card 
in the baccarat game: If the point value of the first two cards is 8 or 9, this 
is called a Natural. If anyone is dealt a Natural the game ends and no third 
card is dealt to anyone. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p>This is Blackjack - but Blackjack in the Zero Lounge.</p>
<p><strong>To Play the Game</strong></p>
<p>Click on a chip, at the bottom left corner of the screen, to select the 
desired chip value. </p>
<p>Click on one of the bet areas to place your initial bet(s). To remove or 
change a bet, right-click the chip pile on the table or use the <strong>Clear 
bets</strong> button. The amount placed must be greater-than, or equal-to the 
minimum bet requirement posted on the table. </p>
<p>Click on the <strong>Deal</strong> button to have the cards dealt. </p>
<p>Additional bets once the cards have been dealt include Double and Split bets, 
as well as options to take Insurance. </p>
<p>At all times, you will be able to see your Balance and the Total of your 
current bet. </p>
<p>To start a new game you should click on <strong>New Game</strong>. To repeat 
the same bet you placed in the last game, click <strong>Rebet</strong>. </p><br />
<p><strong>Objective </strong></p>
<p>In Blackjack, the object of the game is to beat the dealer by having a hand 
that totals 21 (without going over) or is closer to 21 than the dealer's 
hand.</p><br />
<p><strong>Zero Blackjack Additional Features</strong></p>
<p><strong>Suited Natural Blackjack</strong></p>
<p>In Zero Blackjack a Suited Natural Blackjack, where the players first two 
cards total 21 and are of the same suit (eg Ace of Spades and Jack of Spades), 
pays 2:1 instead of the standard payout of 3:2 for a Blackjack. A Suited Natural 
Blackjack does not beat a standard Blackjack and if both the player and dealer 
have a Blackjack (regardless of whether it is a standard Blackjack or Suited 
Natural Blackjack), it is always a "push".</p>
<p><strong>5-Card 21</strong></p>
<p>If at any stage the player achieves a points total of 21 having taken exactly 
5 cards on the hand, the player will immediately be paid out at 2:1. A player 
5-card 21 beats any dealer drawn 21, but does not beat a dealer Blackjack. The 
5-card 21 rule does not apply to the dealer and therefore a dealer 5-card 21 
will "push" against a player 21 with less than 5 cards.</p>
<p><strong>Expected Return</strong></p>
<p>Expected player return on zero Blackjack (using perfect player strategy) is 
100.00% (Correct to 2 decimal places)</p><br />
<p><strong>Rules</strong></p>
<p>The game is played using 8 decks of cards, re-shuffled after each round.</p>
<p>Once a player has bet, both the player and the dealer are dealt two cards 
each. The player's cards are dealt face up. The dealer's first card is dealt 
face down. The Ace can be used as a 1 or 11 points.</p>
<p>Any card combined with an Ace, other than a card that has a value of 10, is 
considered a "soft hand". Meaning that if the player has 4 and an Ace, it would 
be considered 5 or soft 15. The King, Queen, Jack and Ten are 10 points each; 
all other cards are worth their face values. If the player's first two cards 
total 21, then it's a Blackjack. If the player's first two cards total 21 and 
the two cards are of the same suit, then it's a Suited Natural Blackjack.</p>
<p>If you are dealt any two cards other than a Blackjack, you may "Stand" 
(refuse any further cards), or "Hit" (accept another card). A player who stands 
will not receive additional cards. Cards are dealt until the player stands or 
"busts" (exceeds 21). When you bust, you immediately lose your bet regardless of 
the dealer's hand result.</p>
<p>After the player's final actions, the dealer reveals the down card. If the 
dealer's hand is 16 or less, the dealer must continue to "hit" until reaching 17 
or more. The dealer must stand on soft 17 and cannot take additional cards. If 
the dealer exceeds 21 ("bust"), and the player has stood without busting, the 
player wins. When the dealer stands on 17 or greater and has a higher count than 
the player - the dealer wins; if the player has the higher count - the player 
wins. If the player and the dealer have the same totals, it's a "push" (tie) 
except in the case when the player has drawn 5-cards on the hand and has a total 
of 21 (see above).</p><br />
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
<p><strong>Splitting</strong></p>
<p>When a player is dealt two cards with equal values, with the exception of two 
Aces, they have the option of "splitting" them into two separate hands. In order 
to "split", the initial bet has to be matched. Each hand is then played 
separately. If the player has two Aces they will not be offered the opportunity 
to split the hand. A hand can only be split once. A two card 21 total on a split 
is not a natural blackjack. If the hand wins it will pay even money.</p>
<p><strong>Doubling Down</strong></p>
<p>A player may double if their first two cards total 8,9,10 or 11. When a 
player doubles, only one more card is dealt and the original bet has to be 
matched. Essentially, the player bets the hand can be won with one more card. 
You can also "double down" after "splitting" a pair.</p>
<p><strong>Insurance</strong></p>
<p>When the dealer's up card is an ace, the player is offered "insurance". 
Taking insurance means the player makes a second bet (of half the original bet) 
that the dealer's face down card is a ten card. If this is the case, the player 
is paid 2 to 1 on the insurance bet and the initial bet loses as it is beaten by 
the dealer's Blackjack. If the dealer does not have a Blackjack, the insurance 
bet is lost and the hand is played out as normal.</p>
<p><strong>Even Money</strong></p>
<p>When the player has a Blackjack and the dealer's up card is an Ace, the 
player is offered "even money". Taking even money means the player will be paid 
1 to 1 on the Blackjack and not 3 to 2 as normal. Taking even money means the 
player believes the dealer's face down card is a ten card. If the player chooses 
not to take even money and the dealer reveals a Blackjack, both hands tie. If no 
even money is taken and the dealer has no Blackjack, the player is paid at 3 to 
2.</p><strong>Payouts </strong>

        <![CDATA[
<p>This is the single-player version of the classic Chinese game, played 
according to the World Mahjong Federation rules. You start out with a 
<strong>ready hand</strong> (one tile away from a win) and must find the right 
tile in the <strong>wall</strong> to complete it. </p>
<p>The wall is a set of 24 face-down tiles. Click on a tile to pick it. You have 
three chances per round to find the right tile. The number of picks left is 
displayed under the wall.</p>
<p>Below the wall is your hand. The space to the right of it holds the last 
picked tile, and the space just above it holds the discarded tiles. If you 
picked a tile from the wall and it hasn't completed your hand, "No hand" will 
blink and the tile will be discarded automatically. You can also click on the 
tile to discard it yourself. After that, you can pick another tile. If you've 
picked three tiles and none of them have completed your hand, the round is 
over.</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> In standard Mahjong, discarded tiles can be 
used to complete a hand. In Solo Mahjong, this is not the case. Discarded tiles 
do not participate in the game in any way. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for 
more.)</p>
<p>If the picked tile completed your hand, the win screen will open. There you 
can see all the sets in your hand, and how many points each set is worth. The 
more points you have, the bigger your win. In the win screen, you can click on 
<strong>Continue</strong> to review the end state of the round, or you can click 
on the New Game button to immediately start the next round.</p>
<p>To the right of the wall is the <strong>Hand Information</strong> area that 
displays the random actions or bonuses associated with the current game round. 
The hand information parameters are representing a scenario that would happen at 
the end of a true Mahjong game. The final score of the winning hand is based 
also on the hand information parameters:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Action</strong> is a Mahjong hand that is applied as a bonus. If 
  you win, this hand's points are added to your total. See Solo Mahjong Rules 
  for the description of the hands and how many points they give. 
  <strong>Pleasenote:</strong> If Action is Response, you get no bonus points. 
  </li></ul>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Reach</strong> specifies whether the Reach or Early Reach hand 
  applies. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) 
  <li><strong>Honor Streak</strong> specifies whether the Honor Streak bonus can 
  occur in this hand. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Seat Wind</strong> and <strong>Quarter Wind</strong> 
  indicators. A set of wind tiles matching either the seat or quarter wind makes 
  a special hand and increases your score. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) 
  </li></ul>
<p>Below your hand are the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Bet</strong> - your bet per round. Use the arrow buttons to change 
  the bet amount. 
  <li><strong>Win </strong>- your win amount in the last round (if you won). 
  <li>The <strong>Paytable</strong> button opens a screen where you can see how 
  much you win given the point total as well as the names of tiles. Click the 
  <strong>Close</strong> button to close the paytable. 
  <li>The <strong>New Game</strong> button starts a new game round. </li></ul>

<p>A winning Mahjong hand consists of 14 tiles. However, at the start of a game

winning. The tiles in your hand are arranged into sets by suit and 
number.</p><strong>Suits</strong> 
<p>There are five suits in Mahjong - three <strong>Numeral</strong> suits and 
two <strong>Letter</strong> suits. The Numeral suits are the 
<strong>Bars</strong>, <strong>Wons</strong> and <strong>Dots</strong>. These 
suits contain nine tiles each, marked with numbers 1 through 9. </p>
<p>The letter suits are the <strong>Winds</strong> and <strong>Dragons</strong>. 
The Wind suit contains four tiles, for the North, South, East and West winds. 
The Dragon suit contains three tiles, for the Red, Green and White dragons. All 
these cards are marked with letters - N, S, E and W for Winds; R, G and Wh for 
Dragons.</p>
<p>In addition, the 1 st and 9 th tiles of each Number suit 
(<strong>Edges</strong>), together with the letter tiles, make up the 
<strong>Honors</strong> suit. Sets made of honor tiles are worth more than sets 
made of <strong>Middle</strong> tiles (the 2 nd through 8 th tiles of number 
suits).</p>
<p>A standard game of Mahjong has 4 of each suit (for a total of 136 tiles). For 
the simplified Solo Mahjong game, this means that there can be up to four 
identical tiles in the hand and wall together.</p><strong>Sets</strong> 
<p>The 14 tiles of a winning Mahjong hand are arranged into several sets. To 
qualify as a winning hand, your hand must be <strong>full,</strong> meaning that 
each tile in the hand must be part of some set. The following sets are 
available:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Pong</strong> - a set of three tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <li><strong>Kong </strong>- a set of four tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <strong>Please note:</strong> when counting the number of tiles in a hand, the 
  Kong blocks count as 3 tiles. 
  <li><strong>Chee </strong>- a set of three tiles of identical suit and 
  sequential value. 
  <li><strong>Pair </strong>- a set of two tiles of identical suit and value. 
  This set does not give you any points, but is necessary to complete a winning 
  Mahjong hand. </li></ul>
<p>In standard Mahjong, certain circumstances may require a player to 
<strong>call</strong> a set (declare to other players that he has it). In this 
case the set is put on the table, and spaced apart from the other tiles. In Solo 
Mahjong, your ready hand may already contain called sets.</p>
<p>There are two types of called Kong: <strong>Open Kong</strong> and 
<strong>Hidden Kong</strong>. </p>
<ul>
  <li>The Open Kong set is displayed as three face-up tiles with one face-down 
  tile on top of them; 
  <li>The Hidden Kong set is displayed as three face-down tiles with one face-up 
  tile on top of them. </li></ul>
<p>A hand that contains no called sets, or only a called Hidden Kong, is called 
a <strong>clean</strong> hand. This is important because some of the sets are 
only valid with a clean hand.</p>
<p>The above sets can be mixed and matched to produce a possible winning (i.e., 
full) hand. For example, you can have</p>
<ul>
  <li>A pair and four Pongs 
  <li>A pair, three Pongs and a Chee </li></ul>
<p>But note that there are also special hands (e.g., Nine Treasure Lamps) that 
award points for specific tile combinations that do not conform to the above 
rules.</p><strong>Points</strong> 
<p>To win a round of Mahjong, you need to get at least 3 points. Points are 
awarded for specific sets, their combinations, and actions. The more points you 
get, the bigger your win amount is. Specific payouts are listed in the 
paytable.</p>
<p>Below is a list of hands and actions , explanations, and point values. The 
values of all applicable hands are added up to form your point total for the 
round. You cannot get more than 20 points. If your point total adds up to more 
than 20 points, it is rounded down.</p>

        <![CDATA[ 
<p>This is the single-player version of the classic Chinese game, played 
according to the World Mahjong Federation rules. You start out with 14 tiles, 
and have to first discard one of them. When choosing the first tile to discard, 
your goal is to create a <strong>ready hand</strong> (a hand of 13 tiles which 
is one tile away from a winning hand). Then you must find the right tile in the 
<strong>wall</strong> to complete a winning hand. </p>
<p>Note that you can change your mind about the first discarded tile and take it 
back by clicking on it (to discard another), but only before you've picked the 
first tile from the wall.</p>
<p>The wall is a set of 24 face-down tiles. Click on a tile to pick it. You have 
three chances per round to find the right tile. The number of picks left is 
displayed under the wall.</p>
<p>Below the wall is your hand. The space to the right of it holds the last 
picked tile, and the space just above it holds the discarded tiles. If you 
picked a tile from the wall and it hasn't completed your hand, "No hand" will 
blink and the tile will be discarded automatically. You can also click on the 
tile to discard it yourself. After that, you can pick another tile. If you've 
picked three tiles and none of them have completed your hand, the round is 
over.</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> In standard Mahjong, discarded tiles can be 
used to complete a hand. In Solo Mahjong Pro, this is not the case. Discarded 
tiles do not participate in the game in any way. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for 
more.)</p>
<p>If the picked tile completed your hand, the win screen will open. There you 
can see all the sets in your hand, and how many points each set is worth. The 
more points you have, the bigger your win. In the win screen, you can click on 
<strong>Continue</strong> to review the end state of the round, or you can click 
on the New Game button to immediately start the next round.</p>
<p>To the right of the wall is the <strong>Hand Information</strong> area that 
displays the random actions or bonuses associated with the current game round. 
The hand information parameters are representing a scenario that would happen at 
the end of a true Mahjong game. The final score of the winning hand is based 
also on the hand information parameters:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Action</strong> is a Mahjong hand that is applied as a bonus. If 
  you win, this hand's points are added to your total. See Solo Mahjong Pro 
  Rules for the description of the hands and how many points they give. 
  <strong>Pleasenote:</strong> If Action is Response, you get no bonus points. 
  </li></ul>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Reach</strong> specifies whether the Reach or Early Reach hand 
  applies. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for more.) 
  <li><strong>Honor Streak</strong> specifies whether the Honor Streak bonus can 
  occur in this hand. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Seat Wind</strong> and <strong>Quarter Wind</strong> 
  indicators. A set of wind tiles matching either the seat or quarter wind makes 
  a special hand and increases your score. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for 
  more.) </li></ul>
<p>Below your hand are the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Bet</strong> - your bet per round. Use the arrow buttons to change 
  the bet amount. 
  <li><strong>Win </strong>- your win amount in the last round (if you won). 
  <li>The <strong>Paytable</strong> button opens a screen where you can see how 
  much you win given the point total as well as the names of tiles. Click the 
  <strong>Close</strong> button to close the paytable. 
  <li>The <strong>New Game</strong> button starts a new game round. </li></ul>
<p><strong>Shortcut keys </strong>
<p>If you wish, you can press the following keys on your keyboard instead of 
clicking on the buttons on the screen.</p>

<H1>Solo Mahjong Pro Rules</H1>
<p>A winning Mahjong hand consists of 14 tiles. However, at the start of a game 
round you have a <strong>ready hand</strong> - 13 tiles, just one short of 
winning. The tiles in your hand are arranged into sets by suit and 
number.</p><strong>Suits</strong> 
<p>There are five suits in Mahjong - three <strong>Numeral</strong> suits and 
two <strong>Letter</strong> suits. The Numeral suits are the 
<strong>Bars</strong>, <strong>Wons</strong> and <strong>Dots</strong>. These 
suits contain nine tiles each, marked with numbers 1 through 9. </p>
<p>The letter suits are the <strong>Winds</strong> and <strong>Dragons</strong>. 
The Wind suit contains four tiles, for the North, South, East and West winds. 
The Dragon suit contains three tiles, for the Red, Green and White dragons. All 
these cards are marked with letters - N, S, E and W for Winds; R, G and Wh for 
Dragons.</p>
<p>In addition, the 1 st and 9 th tiles of each Number suit 
(<strong>Edges</strong>), together with the letter tiles, make up the 
<strong>Honors</strong> suit. Sets made of honor tiles are worth more than sets 
made of <strong>Middle</strong> tiles (the 2 nd through 8 th tiles of number 
suits).</p>
<p>A standard game of Mahjong has 4 of each suit (for a total of 136 tiles). For 
the simplified Solo Mahjong Pro game, this means that there can be up to four 
identical tiles in the hand and wall together.</p><strong>Sets</strong> 
<p>The 14 tiles of a winning Mahjong hand are arranged into several sets. To 
qualify as a winning hand, your hand must be <strong>full,</strong> meaning that 
each tile in the hand must be part of some set. The following sets are 
available:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Pong</strong> - a set of three tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <li><strong>Kong </strong>- a set of four tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <strong>Please note:</strong> when counting the number of tiles in a hand, the 
  Kong blocks count as 3 tiles. 
  <li><strong>Chee </strong>- a set of three tiles of identical suit and 
  sequential value. 
  <li><strong>Pair </strong>- a set of two tiles of identical suit and value. 
  This set does not give you any points, but is necessary to complete a winning 
  Mahjong hand. </li></ul>
<p>In standard Mahjong, certain circumstances may require a player to 
<strong>call</strong> a set (declare to other players that he has it). In this 
case the set is put on the table, and spaced apart from the other tiles. In Solo 
Mahjong, your ready hand may already contain called sets.</p>
<p>There are two types of called Kong: <strong>Open Kong</strong> and 
<strong>Hidden Kong</strong>. </p>
<ul>
  <li>The Open Kong set is displayed as three face-up tiles with one face-down 
  tile on top of them; 
  <li>The Hidden Kong set is displayed as three face-down tiles with one face-up 
  tile on top of them. </li></ul>
<p>A hand that contains no called sets, or only a called Hidden Kong, is called 
a <strong>clean</strong> hand. This is important because some of the sets are 
only valid with a clean hand.</p>
<p>The above sets can be mixed and matched to produce a possible winning (i.e., 
full) hand. For example, you can have</p>
<ul>
  <li>A pair and four Pongs 
  <li>A pair, three Pongs and a Chee </li></ul>
<p>But note that there are also special hands (e.g., Nine Treasure Lamps) that 
award points for specific tile combinations that do not conform to the above 
rules.</p><strong>Points</strong> 
<p>To win a round of Mahjong, you need to get at least 3 points. Points are 
awarded for specific sets, their combinations, and actions. The more points you 
get, the bigger your win amount is. Specific payouts are listed in the 
paytable.</p>
<p>Below is a list of hands and actions , explanations, and point values. The 
values of all applicable hands are added up to form your point total for the 
round. You cannot get more than 20 points. If your point total adds up to more 
than 20 points, it is rounded down.</p>

        <![CDATA[ 
<p>This is the single-player version of the classic Chinese game, played 
according to Japanese rules (Tenwa). You start out with 14 tiles, and have to 
first discard one of them. When choosing the first tile to discard, your goal is 
to create a <strong>ready hand</strong> (a hand of 13 tiles which is one tile 
away from a winning hand). Then you must find the right tile in the 
<strong>wall</strong> to complete a winning hand. </p>
<p>Note that you can change your mind about the first discarded tile and take it 
back by clicking on it (to discard another), but only before you've picked the 
first tile from the wall.</p>
<p>The wall is a set of 24 face-down tiles. Click on a tile to pick it. You have 
three chances per round to find the right tile. The number of picks left is 
displayed under the wall.</p>
<p>Below the wall is your hand. The space to the right of it holds the last 
picked tile, and the space just above it holds the discarded tiles. If you 
picked a tile from the wall and it hasn't completed your hand, "No hand" will 
blink and the tile will be discarded automatically. You can also click on the 
tile to discard it yourself. After that, you can pick another tile. If you've 
picked three tiles and none of them have completed your hand, the round is 
over.</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> In standard Mahjong, discarded tiles can be 
used to complete a hand. In Solo Mahjong Pro, this is not the case. Discarded 
tiles do not participate in the game in any way. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for 
more.)</p>
<p>If the picked tile completed your hand, the win screen will open. There you 
can see all the sets in your hand, and how many points each set is worth. Game 
points are converted into the <strong>score</strong>, which determines how much 
money you've won. The score is calculated from the game point total using a 
traditional, complex algorithm. In the win screen, you can click on 
<strong>Continue</strong> to review the end state of the round, or you can click 
on the New Game button to immediately start the next round.</p>
<p>To the right of the wall is the <strong>Hand Information</strong> area that 
displays the random actions or bonuses associated with the current game round. 
The hand information parameters are representing a scenario that would happen at 
the end of a true Mahjong game. The final score of the winning hand is based 
also on the hand information parameters:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Action</strong> is a Mahjong hand that is applied as a bonus. If 
  you win, this hand's points are added to your total. See Solo Mahjong Pro 
  Rules for the description of the hands and how many points they give. 
  <strong>Pleasenote:</strong> If Action is Response, you get no bonus points. 
  <li><strong>Reach</strong> specifies whether the Reach or Early Reach hand 
  applies. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Seat Wind</strong> and <strong>Quarter Wind</strong> 
  indicators. A set of wind tiles matching either the seat or quarter wind makes 
  a special hand and increases your score. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for 
  more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Dora</strong> tile. Each tile in your hand matching the Dora 
  gives you an extra game point. (See Solo Mahjong Pro Rules for more.) </li></ul>
<p>Below your hand are the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Bet</strong> - your bet per round. Use the arrow buttons to change 
  the bet amount. 
  <li><strong>Win </strong>- your win amount in the last round (if you won). 
  <li>The <strong>Paytable</strong> button opens a screen where you can see how 
  much you win given the score as well as the names of tiles. Click the 
  <strong>Close</strong> button to close the paytable.. 
  <li>The <strong>New Game</strong> button starts a new game round. </li></ul>

<p>If you wish, you can press the following keys on your keyboard instead of 
clicking on the buttons on the screen.</p>

<H1>Solo Mahjong Pro Rules</H1>
<p>A winning Mahjong hand consists of 14 tiles. However, at the start of a game 
round, after discarding a tile, you have a <strong>ready hand</strong> - 13 
tiles, just one short of winning. The tiles in your hand are arranged into sets 
by suit and number.</p><strong>Suits</strong> 
<p>There are five suits in Mahjong - three <strong>Numeral</strong> suits and 
two <strong>Letter</strong> suits. The Numeral suits are the 
<strong>Bars</strong>, <strong>Wons</strong> and <strong>Dots</strong>. These 
suits contain nine tiles each, marked with numbers 1 through 9. </p>
<p>The letter suits are the <strong>Winds</strong> and <strong>Dragons</strong>. 
The Wind suit contains four tiles, for the North, South, East and West winds. 
The Dragon suit contains three tiles, for the Red, Green and White dragons. All 
these cards are marked with letters - N, S, E and W for Winds; R, G and Wh for 
Dragons.</p>
<p>In addition, the 1 st and 9 th tiles of each Number suit 
(<strong>Edges</strong>), together with the letter tiles, make up the 
<strong>Honors</strong> suit. Sets made of honor tiles are worth more than sets 
made of <strong>Middle</strong> tiles (the 2 nd through 8 th tiles of number 
suits).</p>
<p>A standard game of Mahjong has 4 of each suit (for a total of 136 tiles). For 
the simplified Solo Mahjong Pro game, this means that there can be up to four 
identical tiles in the hand and wall together.</p><strong>Sets</strong> 
<p>The 14 tiles of a winning Mahjong hand are arranged into several sets. To 
qualify as a winning hand, your hand must be <strong>full,</strong> meaning that 
each tile in the hand must be part of some set. The following sets are 
available:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Pong</strong> - a set of three tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <li><strong>Kong </strong>- a set of four tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <strong>Please note:</strong> when counting the number of tiles in a hand, the 
  Kong blocks count as 3 tiles. 
  <li><strong>Chee </strong>- a set of three tiles of identical suit and 
  sequential value. 
  <li><strong>Pair </strong>- a set of two tiles of identical suit and value. 
  This set does not give you any points, but is necessary to complete a winning 
  Mahjong hand. </li></ul>
<p>In standard Mahjong, certain circumstances may require a player to 
<strong>call</strong> a set (declare to other players that he has it). In this 
case the set is put on the table, and spaced apart from the other tiles. In Solo 
Mahjong, your ready hand may already contain called sets.</p>
<p>There are two types of called Kong: <strong>Open Kong</strong> and 
<strong>Hidden Kong</strong>. </p>
<ul>
  <li>The Open Kong set is displayed as three face-up tiles with one face-down 
  tile on top of them; 
  <li>The Hidden Kong set is displayed as three face-down tiles with one face-up 
  tile on top of them. </li></ul>
<p>A hand that contains no called sets, or only a called Hidden Kong, is called 
a <strong>clean</strong> hand. This is important because you may be deducted 
game points if your hand is not clean.</p>
<p>The above sets can be mixed and matched to produce a possible winning (i.e., 
full) hand. For example, you can have:</p>
<ul>
  <li>A pair and four Pongs 
  <li>A pair, three Pongs and a Chee </li></ul>
<p>But note that there are also special hands (e.g., Nine Treasure Lamps) that 
award points for specific tile combinations that do not conform to the above 
rules.</p><strong>Points</strong> 
<p>To win a round of Mahjong, you need to get a score of at least 700. Points 
are awarded for specific sets, their combinations, and actions. Game points are 
converted into the <strong>score</strong>, which determines how much money 
you've won. The score is calculated from the game point total using a 
traditional, complex algorithm. The more points you get, the bigger your final 
score and your win amount is. </p>
<p>Below is a list of hands and actions , explanations, and game point values. 
The values of all applicable hands are added up to form your game point total 
for the round. You cannot get more than 20 game points. If your point total adds 
up to more than 20 game points, it is rounded down.</p>

        <![CDATA[ 
<p>This is the single-player version of the classic Chinese game, played 
according to Japanese rules (Tenwa). You start out with a <strong>ready 
hand</strong> (one tile away from a win) and must find the right tile in the 
<strong>wall</strong> to complete it. </p>
<p>The wall is a set of 24 face-down tiles. Click on a tile to pick it. You have 
three chances per round to find the right tile. The number of picks left is 
displayed under the wall.</p>
<p>Below the wall is your hand. The space to the right of it holds the last 
picked tile, and the space just above it holds the discarded tiles. If you 
picked a tile from the wall and it hasn't completed your hand, "No hand" will 
blink and the tile will be discarded automatically. You can also click on the 
tile to discard it yourself. After that, you can pick another tile. If you've 
picked three tiles and none of them have completed your hand, the round is 
over.</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> In standard Mahjong, discarded tiles can be 
used to complete a hand. In Solo Mahjong, this is not the case. Discarded tiles 
do not participate in the game in any way. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for 
more.)</p>
<p>If the picked tile completed your hand, the win screen will open. There you 
can see all the sets in your hand, and how many points each set is worth. Game 
points are converted into the <strong>score</strong>, which determines how much 
money you've won. The score is calculated from the game point total using a 
traditional, complex algorithm. In the win screen, you can click on 
<strong>Continue</strong> to review the end state of the round, or you can click 
on the New Game button to immediately start the next round.</p>
<p>To the right of the wall is the <strong>Hand Information</strong> area that 
displays the random actions or bonuses associated with the current game round. 
The hand information parameters are representing a scenario that would happen at 
the end of a true Mahjong game. The final score of the winning hand is based 
also on the hand information parameters:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Action</strong> is a Mahjong hand that is applied as a bonus. If 
  you win, this hand's points are added to your total. See Solo Mahjong Rules 
  for the description of the hands and how many points they give. 
  <strong>Pleasenote:</strong> If Action is Response, you get no bonus points. 
  <li><strong>Reach</strong> specifies whether the Reach or Early Reach hand 
  applies. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Seat Wind</strong> and <strong>Quarter Wind</strong> 
  indicators. A set of wind tiles matching either the seat or quarter wind makes 
  a special hand and increases your score. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) 
  <li>The <strong>Dora</strong> tile. Each tile in your hand matching the Dora 
  gives you an extra game point. (See Solo Mahjong Rules for more.) </li></ul>
<p>Below your hand are the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Bet</strong> - your bet per round. Use the arrow buttons to change 
  the bet amount. 
  <li><strong>Win </strong>- your win amount in the last round (if you won). 
  <li>The <strong>Paytable</strong> button opens a screen where you can see how 
  much you win given the score as well as the names of tiles. Click the 
  <strong>Close</strong> button to close the paytable.. 
  <li>The <strong>New Game</strong> button starts a new game round. </li></ul>

clicking on the buttons on the screen.</p>

<H1>Solo Mahjong Rules</H1>
<p>A winning Mahjong hand consists of 14 tiles. However, at the start of a game 
round, after discarding a tile, you have a <strong>ready hand</strong> - 13 
tiles, just one short of winning. The tiles in your hand are arranged into sets 
by suit and number.</p><strong>Suits</strong> 
<p>There are five suits in Mahjong - three <strong>Numeral</strong> suits and 
two <strong>Letter</strong> suits. The Numeral suits are the 
<strong>Bars</strong>, <strong>Wons</strong> and <strong>Dots</strong>. These 
suits contain nine tiles each, marked with numbers 1 through 9. </p>
<p>The letter suits are the <strong>Winds</strong> and <strong>Dragons</strong>. 
The Wind suit contains four tiles, for the North, South, East and West winds. 
The Dragon suit contains three tiles, for the Red, Green and White dragons. All 
these cards are marked with letters - N, S, E and W for Winds; R, G and Wh for 
Dragons.</p>
<p>In addition, the 1 st and 9 th tiles of each Number suit 
(<strong>Edges</strong>), together with the letter tiles, make up the 
<strong>Honors</strong> suit. Sets made of honor tiles are worth more than sets 
made of <strong>Middle</strong> tiles (the 2 nd through 8 th tiles of number 
suits).</p>
<p>A standard game of Mahjong has 4 of each suit (for a total of 136 tiles). For 
the simplified Solo Mahjong game, this means that there can be up to four 
identical tiles in the hand and wall together.</p><strong>Sets</strong> 
<p>The 14 tiles of a winning Mahjong hand are arranged into several sets. To 
qualify as a winning hand, your hand must be <strong>full,</strong> meaning that 
each tile in the hand must be part of some set. The following sets are 
available:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Pong</strong> - a set of three tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <li><strong>Kong </strong>- a set of four tiles of identical suit and value. 
  <strong>Please note:</strong> when counting the number of tiles in a hand, the 
  Kong blocks count as 3 tiles. 
  <li><strong>Chee </strong>- a set of three tiles of identical suit and 
  sequential value. 
  <li><strong>Pair </strong>- a set of two tiles of identical suit and value. 
  This set does not give you any points, but is necessary to complete a winning 
  Mahjong hand. </li></ul>
<p>In standard Mahjong, certain circumstances may require a player to 
<strong>call</strong> a set (declare to other players that he has it). In this 
case the set is put on the table, and spaced apart from the other tiles. In Solo 
Mahjong, your ready hand may already contain called sets.</p>
<p>There are two types of called Kong: <strong>Open Kong</strong> and 
<strong>Hidden Kong</strong>. </p>
<ul>
  <li>The Open Kong set is displayed as three face-up tiles with one face-down 
  tile on top of them; 
  <li>The Hidden Kong set is displayed as three face-down tiles with one face-up 
  tile on top of them. </li></ul>
<p>A hand that contains no called sets, or only a called Hidden Kong, is called 
a <strong>clean</strong> hand. This is important because you may be deducted 
game points if your hand is not clean.</p>
<p>The above sets can be mixed and matched to produce a possible winning (i.e., 
full) hand. For example, you can have:</p>
<ul>
  <li>A pair and four Pongs 
  <li>A pair, three Pongs and a Chee </li></ul>
<p>But note that there are also special hands (e.g., Nine Treasure Lamps) that 
award points for specific tile combinations that do not conform to the above 
rules.</p><strong>Points</strong> 
<p>To win a round of Mahjong, you need to get a score of at least 700. Points 
are awarded for specific sets, their combinations, and actions. Game points are 
converted into the <strong>score</strong>, which determines how much money 
you've won. The score is calculated from the game point total using a 
traditional, complex algorithm. The more points you get, the bigger your final 
score and your win amount is. </p>
<p>Below is a list of hands and actions, explanations, and game point values. 
The values of all applicable hands are added up to form your game point total 
for the round. You cannot get more than 20 game points. If your point total adds 
up to more than 20 game points, it is rounded down.</p>

<p><strong>Note on large wins:</strong> If you are lucky (or skillful) enough to win more

Betfair Casino regards this as a high win.</p>
<p><strong>Note on malfunctions: </strong>A malfunction voids all pays and 
plays.</p>
<p><strong>Note on disconnections:</strong> If your internet connection fails on 
you and you are disconnected from the Internet in the middle of a game while 
playing for Real Money then don't panic. Just re-establish your Internet

<strong>History</strong> and you'll see the result of your previous round and if 
you've won then your winning will be added to your

<p>Any one number - bet on the exact number the wheel will stop on.</p>
<p>Range - this area is located in the lower left corner of the screen. There 
are three ranges: 1 to 8, 9 to 16, 17 to 24. You win, if the wheel stops on a 
number that is located within the range you bet on.</p>
<p>Colors - bet on one or two colors. You win, if the wheel stops on a number of 
that color.</p>
<p>Last digit - bet on the last digit of the spin result. You win if the result 
has the right last digit. For example, betting on 3 will win if the spin result 
is 3, 13 or 23.</p>
<p>Odd/Even - bet on whether the result is odd or even.</p>
<p>Higher/Lower - bet on whether the next result is higher or lower than the 
previous result. You cannot place this bet on the first spin (since there is no 
previous result). Also, you cannot place the "higher" bet, if the result is 1, 2 
or 24; and you cannot place the "lower" bet if the result is 1, 23 or 24. Both 
"higher" and "lower" bets lose on a tie (if the result is equal to the previous 
result).</p>
<p>When finished placing bets, click Spin . After the wheel has stopped, your 
bets will be settled. You can then click Rebet to place the same bets again.</p>

        <![CDATA[ 
<p>Your objective is to predict whether the next roll of dice will have a higher 
or lower total than the last. First, choose the amount you want to wager and 
click Play. Two dice are rolled. Now you have to predict the next result. If the 
total is less than 7, you have to choose between the options <strong>Lower 
</strong>or <strong>Equal </strong>and <strong>Higher</strong>. If the total is 
7, you have to choose between <strong>Lower</strong> or <strong>Equal 
</strong>and <strong>Higher </strong>or <strong>Equal</strong>. If the total is 
greater than 7, you have to choose between <strong>Lower</strong> and 
<strong>Higher</strong> or <strong>Equal</strong>. Note that two 7's in a row 
takes you to the next level, no matter what you choose. If you choose 
incorrectly, the game ends and you lose. If you choose correctly, you advance to 
the next level. </p>
<p><strong>Cashout levels</strong></p>
<p>If you reach a cashout level, your bet is multiplied by a certain number and 
you can cash out. However, you can choose to keep playing in order to go for an 
even higher cashout level. Cashout levels and corresponding payout multipliers 
are:</p>

        <![CDATA[
<p>Megaball is eight-games-in-one where each game is a different betting 
strategy. Every minute six balls are drawn to determine the winning 
combinations. You can play one betting strategy or up to 10 at a time. </p>
<p>In the center of the game screen a choice of eight games is available -- each 
game offers a different betting strategy. Click any of them then follow the 
displayed instructions. Each game offers you the choice to play for one drawing 
or multiple drawings (up to 50 repetitions). </p>
<p>A table displays your active bets at the bottom of the screen. After you have 
submitted all of your bets, you can click on each bet in the table to modify or 
delete it. </p>
<p>A clock displaying the time remaining until the start of the next draw is 
displayed at the top of the screen. During the last 10 seconds of the countdown, 
you cannot place a bet (the Confirm button will no longer be displayed). Wait 
until the Confirm button appears then you can place a bet for the next drawing. 
</p>
<p><strong>Jackpot</strong> 
<p>One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small 
percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online 
casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that 
player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).</p>
<p>After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos 
contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if 
you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, 
you will still get a large win.</p>
<p>Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the 
game.</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong></p>
<ul>
  <li>In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the 
  Jackpot. 
  <li>If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not 
  change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is 
  remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game 
  round with the same odds and without placing a new bet. 
  <li>If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the 
  casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino. </li></ul>
<p></p>
<p>The Jackpot for this game works like this:</p>
<table  >
  <tbody>
  <tr>
    <td  valign="top" width="439">
      <p><strong>Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with): 
    </strong></p></td>
    <td  valign="top" width="151">
      <p>20 000 x your jackpot bet size. </p></td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td  valign="top" width="439">
      <p><strong>Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the 
      Jackpot): </strong></p></td>
    <td  valign="top" width="151">
      <p>85% </p></td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td  valign="top" width="439">
      <p><strong>Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot): 
      </strong></p></td>
    <td  valign="top" width="151">
      <p>Five balls match </p></td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td  valign="top" width="439">
      <p><strong>Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the 
      Jackpot): </strong></p></td>
    <td  valign="top" width="151">
      <p>Place the jackpot bet. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<p><strong>Buttons and meters on the screen: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Current balance</strong> - Your current balance is displayed at the 
left side of the screen. </p>
<p><strong>Bet</strong> - Displays your bet amount for the last draw. </p>
<p><strong>You win</strong> - Displays the amount you won on the last draw. </p>
<p>
<p><strong>Chat </strong></p>
<p>You cannot use the chat feature in a single player game. However, you can 
answer a casino administrator if they initiate a chat with you. </p>
<p></p>
Towards the bottom of the game window you'll find the Betfair 
Casino toolbar. This contains the following: 
<ul>
  <li>

<p>Your account balance. The Betfair Casino keeps you u to date with the amount

        <![CDATA[
<p>This is an extended version of the Keno lottery game. In Keno Xperiment, you 
can set an amount of numbers to be picked at random for the next round, or play 
five rounds with completely random selections. </p>
<p>The main playing area of Keno Xperiment contains numbers from 1 to 80. Pick 
numbers by clicking on them. You can select anywhere between two and ten numbers 
for every round. After you've made your selection, click <strong>Play One 
</strong>to start the round, or <strong>Play Five </strong>to play five rounds 
in a row with the numbers you've selected. </p>
<p>You can deselect a number by clicking on it, or click the <strong>Clear 
</strong>button to remove all selections. </p>
<p>Under the main playing area is a row of buttons marked 2 through 10, plus 
Random Pick and a checkbox labeled "Pick new numbers before each round". These 
are meant to allow you to play with numbers chosen at random. Set the amount of 
numbers to be selected for the next round by clicking on the corresponding 
button - you can play between two and ten numbers every round. Click 
<strong>Random Pick </strong>to generate the selection and one of the 
<strong>Play </strong>buttons to start the spin. </p>
<p>If you click on the Random Pick button without setting the amount of numbers, 
it will also be chosen automatically. </p>
<p>The "Pick new numbers before each game round" checkbox is used when playing 
five rounds in a row. A new random selection will be made before each round. 
</p>
<p>There are four screens on the right of the game window. These are: </p>
<p>•  <strong>Payouts </strong>- The payout depends on how many numbers 
you've selected. This screen shows the amount of hits (numbers that come up in 
the spin matching the numbers you've selected) you need to win, and how much you 
will win in each case. </p>
<p>•  <strong>Bet </strong>- This screen shows your bet amount. </p>
<p>•  <strong>Results </strong>- This screen shows the amount of hits 
you've had in the last round. In a five-round game, it displays the results of 
all the rounds. </p>
<p>•  <strong>Win </strong>- This screen shows how much you've won this 
round. </p>
<p>At the bottom left of the game window, just above your account balance, is 
the bet amount pad. Click the arrows to change your bet amount, ranging between 
0.25 and 5. </p>
<p><strong>Shortcut keys </strong>
<p>If you wish, you can press the following keys on your keyboard instead of 
clicking on the buttons on the screen.</p>

or disable this feature in the options menu discussed in the previous 
paragraph.</p>

<p><strong>Note on large wins:</strong> If you are lucky (or skillful) enough to win more 
than £10,000 then this will need to be varified by a live operator as the 
Betfair Casino regards this as a high win.</p>
<p><strong>Note on malfunctions: </strong>A malfunction voids all pays and 
plays.</p>
<p><strong>Note on disconnections:</strong> If your internet connection fails on 
you and you are disconnected from the Internet in the middle of a game while 
playing for Real Money then don't panic. Just re-establish your Internet 
connection and log back into the Betfair Casino lobby. Then click 
<strong>History</strong> and you'll see the result of your previous round and if 
you've won then your winning will be added to your 
account.</p></strong>]]>
