The Vegas Casino invites game enthusiasts to explore some of the casino’s unique specialty games as they play from the comfort of their own homes. Gamers are used to playing familiar table games like blackjack, roulette and poker and to engaging in slots entertainment with the casino’s three-reel and five-reel slot machines.
But this summer, maximize the long, lazy evenings with some unique gaming action when you play the casino’s specialty games for free or for real money prizes.
The VegasCasino specialty games range from games like keno and craps that have been played for many centuries to the more modern techie games like Fish Catch, Treasure Tree and Banana Jones.
Specialty games tend to be games where decision-making and skill play less of a role than you would find in table games. They also don’t have many different types of elements and game features like the slot machines but, rather, offer a simple event of basic play-and-win fun.
A look at some of Grande Vegas’ most popular casino games:
Treasure Tree
Treasure Tree is a fun game to play when you want an uncomplicated, non-technologically-advanced gaming adventure where you just shake and take. In short, Treasure Tree is a tree that shows up on your screen full of treasures and you tap the buttons in an effort to shake prizes from the tree branches.
To play, place your bet and pick money bags. The money bags that you pick will reveal prizes and/or free games so even though this is a game of luck, you must pick carefully as you try to select the best bags. If you match three-of-a-kind you’ll be awarded 25 free picks or up to 500x your wager in instant prizes.
The free games feature is even more lucrative with a triple multiplier on your wins! So climb that tree and grab your bags!
Keno
Keno is a centuries-old lottery game that originated in China. It was a state-sponsored lottery whose proceeds went to fund China’s wars against its enemies. People from around the country would play in their villages and when the big draw occurred, the results would be sent out to the various towns via carrier pigeon, leading Keno to become known as the “White Pigeon Game.”
Keno is played with a card of 80 numbers. You choose as many numbers as you want to play, up to the maximum (different casinos have different maximums) and place bets on the number of spots that you played. When the draw takes place, you compare your card with the draw results and you receive payouts for the matches.
Fish Catch
They say that there’s nothing like shooting fish in a barrel and that’s exactly what you’ll be doing in the Fish Catch online game. As the fish swim around the screen you shoot at a mermaid and at over 20 species of fish as you aim to catch multipliers and activate the Wheel of Fortune feature.
Fish Catch is a type of slot but there are no reels or paylines – instead, you find a place to fish along with other players who compete with you while you all chat and interact. As you shoot at the various fish, health bars deplete which results in awarding you payouts depending on the fish that you shoot and how many times you hit your target. Like slots, there are high payout symbols and low payout symbols but the higher the symbol, the more cannon power you cash in. Throughout the shooting, the bullets that hit the symbols are deducted from your bankroll.
Rounds last for 6 minutes but you can reactivate the game and play over and over as the “plunk” of the bullets fills the air and the “swoosh” of fish dropping signals new wins.
Craps
Craps is actually a specialty game that involves strategy along with luck. You have to make decisions throughout the game, both regarding your dice roll and your bets.
In craps, the goal is to roll a “point” – a number – using two dice. Then, you want to roll that same number again before rolling a seven. If seven rolls before the point, the shooter loses control of the dice and the next shooter shoots. Now, the round starts again with the new shooter trying to make the point.
Craps is similar to roulette in that the actual action part of the game is relatively simple but the wagering table is complex. A good craps player will be able to navigate the craps table and place the best bet for any circumstance. The most common craps bets are wagers on pass line, hard ways, place bets and craps & eleven.
- Pass Line bets are bets that on the first roll, 7 or 11 rolls to win while 2, 3, or 12 loses. If numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 roll, the number must repeat before a seven to win.
- Don’t Pass bets wager that on the first roll, 2 or 3 will roll to win. 7 or 11 loses and 12 is a push. If numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 roll, a seven must roll before the number repeats.
- Come Bets is similar to the Pass Line Bet.
- Don’t Come Bet is similar to the Don’t Pass Bet.
- Field Bet are bets on any of the numbers that are in the field box coming out. In that case, the player wins. Field bets are also called “ONE ROLL BET.”
- Place Bets are wagers made on the point numbers that are not contract bets.
- Proposition Bets are one roll bet on numbers 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12.
Banana Jones
Banana Jones is an innovative game that combines elements of a slot machine with a wide variety of other gaming features. Banana Jones is an engaging hero who must make his way through a booby-trapped jungle and evade tigers and snakes to progress across a board based on rolls of the dice. There’s a Venture Round and many other engaging aspects of the gameplay.
