What is Casino Plus?

Casino Plus is an e-gaming merchant in GLife. It’s based on Hotel Stotsenberg, a casino/hotel in Clark, Pampanga. They’ve opened a casino online and they have integrated with GCash in GLife, as well as with GCash online direct payment and withdrawals on their website. They are PAGCOR-certified just like other e-gaming partners in GLife namely BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, OKBet, Sportsplus, and InPlay.

What games can I play in Casino Plus?

You will be able to see some casino games like slot machines, but their main games are casino tables with live dealers like Baccarat and Roulette. Lately, they’ve also been delving into simpler, more accessible games like Color Game and Tong-its.

Sports betting games are also available. I suggest though that if you like to do sports betting, you better go for ArenaPlus or OKBet instead as they both generally have a better look and feel due to their specializations in sports betting.

How do I play Baccarat?

Playing Baccarat is similar to sabong as you typically must choose between the Player, the Banker, or both (via a tie) to win. The objective of the game is to have a hand closest to 9. Card values are also the same as face value, except for 10, J, Q, and K as those are equivalent to 0. Aces are equal to 1.

The dealer deals two cards for the Player and the Banker face up. You need to add the value of the cards to get the final value. For any value greater than 10, you need to drop the first digit (ex. 8 and 4 = 12, you drop the 1 and the final value is 2).

When any side gets a 9 that’s a natural win. If the Player side gets 6 or 7 total, then he stands — meaning no card is dealt. Otherwise, he draws another card. When the Player draws a card, then the Banker also draws depending if he is down or not. Don’t worry about this too much during play, as the dealer takes care of these for you.

Wagering is done before dealing, which is mainly a game of chance. Typically payouts for both Player and Banker are 1:1, meaning if you win, you double your money. For some tables with bigger wagers, Banker has a 0.95:1 payout as Bankers tend to win more in the long run. For ties, the payout is 8:1.

There are also side bets like Pairs (meaning either Player or Banker gets a pair) or Super 6 (meaning Banker gets a total of 6) and these come with corresponding higher payouts. Pairs typically have 11:1 and Super 6 has 12:1 odds.

How do I play Roulette?

Playing roulette is also simple, as you only need to bet on outcomes. Also, there are different sets of bets you can do, so give you a lot of options on what to bet per round. You need to put your wager first before the dealer throws the ball into the roulette.

The roulette mat has numbered sets of numbers from 0-36, with each number alternating black and red. It can also be separated into sets of 12, with 1-12, 13-24, and 25-36. You will also see a betting area for odd vs even, red vs black, 1-18, and 19-36. European roulette only has a single 0, while American roulette also has a 00.

You can choose to bet in different ways, with corresponding payouts:

Inside Bets
- Straight: Bet on a single number to win (35:1)
- Split: Bet on two adjacent numbers to win (17:1)
- Street: Bet on three numbers in a row (11:1)
- Corner: Bet on four numbers adjacent to each other (8:1)
- Six Numbers: Bet on two rows of three numbers (5:1)
Outside Bets
- Column: Bet on a column of 12 numbers labeled “2:1” (2:1)
- Dozen: Bet on either “1st 12”, “2nd 12”, “3rd 12” (2:1)
- Red or Black: Bet on the color of the number (1:1)
- Even or Odd: Bet on either odd or even (1:1)
- 1-18 or 19-36: Bet on the first half or the second half of all the numbers (1:1)

There are also some rules for odd/even when rolling a 0:

En Prison: The house lets your bet ride on the next spin.
La Partage: The house returns half your bet.

If the ball falls to a 00 for American Roulette, you don’t win anything as 00 is not considered even.
