Casino Games - Solitaire Rules

How to Play

There are three areas on the screen:

Building Stacks

The building stacks are at the bottom half of the screen. The leftmost stack has one card, with each subsequent stack having an additional card. Only the top card of each stack is face up. Removing the top card from a stack will turn over the card below it.

The Deck

The deck is located in the top left corner of the screen and contains the cards, which are not found in the source stacks. Three cards are initially removed and placed to the right of the deck with their face up. The top card of those three can be moved to another stack. Clicking on the deck will turn over the next three cards (if there are at least three cards remaining in the deck). If there are no more cards to go through in the deck, clicking on the outline of the deck will begin another pass through the deck. The number of passes through the deck is unlimited is three in most casinos. Suit Stacks. The suit stacks are located in the upper right corner and are initially unoccupied. An ace can be moved to its suit stack and then cards are added in ascending rank according to suit.

Game Play

A card at the top of a stack can be moved to its corresponding suit stack if the rank of the card at the top of that stack is one less than the card's rank (Kings have a rank of 13, queens 12, jacks 11 and an ace has a rank of 1).
A king can be moved to an empty space.
A card can be moved from the deck, a suit stack, or a building stack to a source stack if the card at the top of the destination stack has a different colour from and a value one more than the card.
Ordered cards at the bottom of a building stack can be moved to another building stack if there is a card in the ordered sequence which has a different colour and a rank one less than the card at the top of the destination stack.

Different types of Game

A player has the choice of either drawing one card from the deck at a time and only going through the deck once, or they can draw three cards at a time but may only play the top card of the draw. If a player opts for the three-card draw they are also allowed to go through the deck three times.

How much can I win?

Winning payoffs are based on how many cards you successfully place in the suit stacks by the end. According to your initial stake it usually takes about 11 cards being successfully place in the suit stacks before a profit is shown. After this every card up to the 52 is sheer profit, which can be quite a handsome rewards.
