Keno - 24 drawings a day. 1 per hour. Drawings are posted here in this topic and are sorted by hour depending on post date.
Players make their wager.
Players will choose to play 1 to 10 numbers. Depending on how many numbers are chosen the wager will multiply by the number of numbers they choose. There will be 10 draws per drawing. For each draw lost $5 is added to the wager. Depending on the players luck this may be a bad thing or a good thing.
Players will pick a number(or numbers depending on how many numbers they chose to play) from 1 to 80. At least 50% of the chosen number must be drawn to be counted as a win. You only have to win once to win the drawing.
The dealer will review all of the numbers and randomly choose 20 numbers. Then the dealer will match these numbers to the players numbers. The winners will be payed their winnings. The losers will be asked nicely to pay their losses. If the losers refuse to pay their losses they will be hunted by North Pointe Casino security until the due is paid.

Example of Gameplay:
John Doe sends an encrypted message to the NorthPointe Casino via their Keno MessageBoard. His gameplay is as follows:
Wager: 200 Credits
John Doe chooses to play 5 numbers.
The numbers that he chooses are:
03, 34, 52, 67, 80
Dealer makes first drawing:
04, 10, 12, 34, 48, 52, 65, 67, 78, 80
John Doe wins this round because 34, 52, 67, and 80 match the drawn numbers.
John Doe then loses 8 out of the 9 remaining draws. because he lost 8, $40 is added to his wager. because he won twice, and he chose 5 numbers, the casino pays John Doe Credits

Blackjack
The casino will play as referee. In fairness of the game one of the players will be dubbed "dealer" an will play the role of the dealer, minus dealing the cards (Yes i know it may not make sense but you will unerstan once you play.)
Of every game the casino will tke 25 percent of the original wagers, the rest will go to the winners.
The object of the blackjack game is to accumulate cards with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21. Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is preferable. Other cards are represented by their number.
If player and the House tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first two cards dealt is an automatic player win at 1.5 to 1, unless the house ties. A player may stand at any time.
Playing blackjack
To win you need to beat the dealer without busting. You bust when your cards total to more than 21 and you lose automatically. The winner is whoever has closest to a total of 21. You reach 21 by adding up the values of the cards.
The blackjack table seats about 6 players. two decks of cards are used and are shuffled together by the dealer and placed in a card dispensing box called 'Shoe'.
Before receiving any cards players must place a wager. Then the players are dealt two cards face up. The dealer gets one face up, one face down. Each player in turn either stays or takes more cards to try and get closer to 21 without busting. Players who do not bust wait for the dealer's turn. When all the players are done, the dealer turns up the down card. By rule, on counts of 17 or higher the dealer must stay; on counts of 16 or lower the dealer must draw.
If you make a total of 21 with the first two cards (a 10 or a face and an Ace), you win automatically. This is called 'Blackjack'. If you have Blackjack, you will win one and one-half times your bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack, in which case it is a Push or a Tie (or a Stand-off) and you get your bet back.
The remaining players with a higher count than the dealer win an amount equal to their bet. Players with a lower count than the dealer lose their bet. If the dealer busts, all the remaining players win. There are other betting options namely Insurance, Surrender, Double Down, Even Money and Split.
Insurance: side bet up to half the initial bet against the dealer having a natural 21 - allowed only when the dealer's showing card is an Ace. If the dealer has a 10 face down and makes a blackjack, insurance pays at 2-1 odds, but loses if the dealer does not.
Surrender: giving up your hand and lose only half the bet.
Early Surrender: surrender allowed before the dealer checks for blackjack.
Late Surrender: the dealer first checks to see if he has blackjack. If he does, surrender is not permitted.
Double Down: double your initial bet following the initial two-card deal, but you can hit one card only. A good bet if the player is in a strong situation. Most casinos will allow you to double down on any two cards. Some casinos will let you double down after splitting and some will limit your doubling down to hands that total ten or eleven. However, there is one condition: When you double down, you must take one additional card and you cannot receive more than one.
Even Money: cashing in your bet immediately at a 1:1 payout ratio when you are dealt a natural blackjack and the dealer's showing card is an Ace.
Split Hand: split the initial two-card hand into two and play them separately - allowed only when the two first cards are of equal value. Use each card as the start to a separate hand and place a second bet equal to the first.
Hard Hand: A hand without an Ace, or with an Ace valued at 1 is said to be Hard in that it can only be given one value, unlike a Soft Hand. (You can value an Ace 1 or 11 to suit you).
Soft Hand: A hand that contains an Ace counted as 11 is called a Soft Hand.
House advantage (approximate, may vary with different rules)
Without basic strategy 7% average.
With basic strategy 0.5% or less.
Card counting can reverse the advantage up to 1% to the player.
Some blackjack variations
Using different number of decks: all other conditions being the same, as a general rule the fewer the decks, the better for the player.
Allowing the dealer to hit a soft 17: a disadvantage to the player. It gives the dealer a chance to improve.
Allowing a double down after splitting pairs: can be advantageous to the player if used wisely.
Allowing re-splitting of Aces: a clear advantage to the player.
No dealer hole card: common on cruise ships, this variation is a disadvantage to the player. The dealer does not deal himself a second card until the players have played and they can lose the doubles and splits.

There is no limit on wager. If you wager more than you can afford to lose, you have a problem, and it is suggested you seek consultation.
Quote:Sir, i will stick with the imperium casino, Close to home.. amazing light display, and it seems 100% legit!
ah yes but technically we are one in the same. We may even be affiliated in the near future. Kno this, i do not discourage you from playing there, as the northpoinete would like to keep a good a reputation with the imperum as we can.
We, likewise, would like to stay on the best of terms with the Nortpointe Casino, however, I'm not sure how we're "one in the same." Yes, there has been mention of our affiliation in the future, but we'll see how that goes.
I'll be more interested when Nortpointe gets their license.;)
