Game Rules
Last Revised: 1 January 2025
1. GENERAL RULES
1.1 Eligibility & Terms
You must be 21 years of age or older and meet all eligibility requirements outlined in the Terms & Conditions.
By placing a wager, you agree to these Game Rules, the Terms & Conditions, our Privacy Policy, and all promotional rules that apply to your account.
1.2 Chips & Currency Conversion
Caligula’s Palace uses virtual casino chips for all games.
All real-money deposits are converted to chips at a fixed rate of:
$1.00 USD = 100 chips
Example chip purchases:
$5.00 USD → 500 chips
$10.00 USD → 1,000 chips
$20.00 USD → 2,000 chips
$50.00 USD → 5,000 chips
$100.00 USD → 10,000 chips
When you withdraw, eligible cashable chips are converted back to USD at the same rate, subject to verification, wagering requirements, and any applicable fees as described in the Terms & Conditions.
1.3 Virtual Cage – Deposits, Wagers & Withdrawals
Deposits are processed through approved payment processors (including PayPal and other secure methods).
Once approved, the corresponding number of chips is credited to your account.
All wagers on Slots, Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat, and other games are placed in chips.
Bonus chips (including Lucky Wheel awards and other promotions) are non-cashable and must be wagered as described in these Game Rules and the Terms & Conditions before any associated winnings may become eligible for withdrawal.
1.4 Random Number Generator (RNG) & Fairness
All electronic games use a Random Number Generator (RNG) to determine outcomes.
Each spin, hand, or roll is an independent event; past results do not influence future outcomes.
Every game has a built-in house advantage (house edge). This means that over the long term, the casino expects to win a small percentage of all wagers. Individual players may win or lose more or less in the short term.
1.5 Understanding Odds & Payouts
Each game has its own payout table or pay schedule, visible either on the game screen or in the help/information section of the game.
The odds and potential payouts may differ between games (for example, single-number bets in Roulette pay more than even-money bets, but are less likely to win).
Any example odds or probabilities provided in help text are for information only. The official rules and payouts are those shown within each game’s interface and these Game Rules.
2. GAME-SPECIFIC RULES
2.1 SLOTS
2.1.1 Basic Mechanics
Slots are played by choosing a bet amount, optionally selecting the number of paylines or ways to win (if applicable), and pressing SPIN.
When the reels stop, winning combinations are evaluated according to the slot’s paytable.
2.1.2 Bets & Paylines
Each slot game specifies:
Minimum and maximum bet per spin
Number of paylines or “ways”
Whether bets are per line or total per spin
Only combinations that appear on active paylines (or according to the game’s rules for “ways”) result in a win.
2.1.3 Symbols, Features & Bonuses
Each slot has its own symbol set (e.g., standard symbols, Wilds, Scatters, Bonus symbols).
Special features may include:
Free spins
Multipliers
Bonus rounds
Expanding or stacked wilds
The behavior of these features is described in the slot’s in-game help and is part of these Game Rules.
2.1.4 RTP & Volatility
Each slot has an underlying Return to Player (RTP) percentage and volatility level.
RTP is a theoretical long-term average; it does not guarantee any particular outcome or return to any individual player.
Volatility describes how a game tends to pay (e.g., smaller wins more often vs. larger wins less often).
2.2 BLACKJACK
2.2.1 Objective
The goal of Blackjack is to have a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand without going over 21 (“busting”).
2.2.2 Card Values
Number cards (2–10): face value
Face cards (J, Q, K): 10
Aces: 1 or 11, whichever is more favorable without busting
2.2.3 Gameplay
While specific table rules (number of decks, whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17, etc.) are displayed in-game and apply to your play, the general flow is:
You place your initial wager in chips.
You are dealt an initial hand; the dealer receives one or two cards (depending on game variant).
You may have options such as:
Hit – take another card
Stand – take no more cards
Double down – double your bet and receive exactly one more card (where permitted)
Split – if your first two cards have equal rank, you may split into two hands (where permitted)
After all player actions are complete, the dealer plays their hand according to fixed house rules shown on the table/in-game (e.g., “Dealer must draw to 16 and stand on all 17s”).
Outcomes:
If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s without busting, you win.
If you bust, you lose your wager.
If the dealer busts and you do not, you win.
If your total equals the dealer’s total, the hand is a push and your wager is returned.
A qualifying Blackjack (an Ace + a 10-value card on the first two cards) typically pays a higher payout (e.g., 3:2 or as shown on the table).
2.2.4 Side Bets & Variants
Some tables may offer side bets or rule variations (e.g., insurance, surrender, special bonus payouts).
All such rules, including payouts and eligible hands, are displayed on the game screen and are part of these Game Rules.
2.3 ROULETTE
2.3.1 Objective
In Roulette, you bet on where a ball will land on a rotating wheel containing numbered pockets.
2.3.2 Layout & Bets
The Roulette wheel and table layout show numbers and colors.
Depending on the game variant, you may see:
Single-zero (European) wheel
Double-zero (American) wheel
Common bet types:
Inside bets (specific numbers or small groups of numbers)
Outside bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low, dozens, columns)
2.3.3 Payouts
The payout for each bet type is shown on the game’s paytable.
Example: a straight-up bet on a single number usually pays 35:1 if it wins.
Even-money bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low) pay 1:1 if they win.
The presence of zero (and double-zero, where applicable) creates the house edge.
2.3.4 Spin & Result
You place your chips on the desired bet areas.
The wheel spins and the ball is released.
Once the ball lands in a numbered pocket, winning bets are paid and losing bets are removed.
2.4 CRAPS
2.4.1 Objective
Craps is a dice game where players bet on the outcome of one or a series of rolls of two dice.
2.4.2 Basic Flow (Pass Line Example)
Come-Out Roll:
If you bet on the Pass Line:
A roll of 7 or 11 = Pass Line wins.
A roll of 2, 3, or 12 = Pass Line loses (“craps”).
Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) becomes the Point.
Point Phase:
If a Point is established, Pass Line bets win if the Point is rolled again before a 7.
Pass Line bets lose if a 7 is rolled before the Point (“seven out”).
2.4.3 Other Bets
Craps tables offer many additional bets (e.g., Don’t Pass, Come, Don’t Come, Place bets, Field, Proposition bets).
Each bet’s rules and payouts are displayed on the table layout or in the in-game help and form part of these Game Rules.
2.4.4 House Edge
Different bets in Craps have different house edges. Generally, Pass Line and Come bets (with odds where offered) have lower house edges than many proposition bets, but all bets carry risk.
2.5 BACCARAT
2.5.1 Objective
In Baccarat, you bet on whether the Player hand or Banker hand will have a total closer to nine, or whether the result will be a Tie.
2.5.2 Card Values
Aces: 1
2–9: face value
10s and face cards: 0
Only the last digit of the total counts (e.g., a total of 14 is treated as 4).
2.5.3 Gameplay
You place chips on Player, Banker, and/or Tie.
Two cards are dealt to Player and two to Banker.
Depending on the totals, a third card may be drawn according to fixed drawing rules (automatically applied by the game).
The hand with a total closest to 9 wins.
Common payouts:
Player win: typically pays 1:1
Banker win: typically pays 1:1, but may charge a commission (e.g., 5%) or pay at a slightly different rate depending on house rules.
Tie: typically pays higher odds (e.g., 8:1 or 9:1) but occurs less often.
2.5.4 Table Rules
Any variations (e.g., side bets, different Tie payouts) are displayed at the table and form part of these Game Rules.
2.6 POKER (CASINO POKER GAMES)
Note: If you offer a specific poker type (e.g., Texas Hold’em, Three-Card Poker, Caribbean Stud), you can tailor this section to that game.
2.6.1 Objective
Casino poker games involve forming the best-ranking poker hand from your cards (and sometimes community cards) compared to the dealer’s hand or a paytable.
2.6.2 Hand Rankings (Highest to Lowest)
Royal Flush
Straight Flush
Four of a Kind
Full House
Flush
Straight
Three of a Kind
Two Pair
One Pair
High Card
2.6.3 Basic Flow (Example – Player vs Dealer)
You place an initial wager (e.g., Ante, Blind, or other required bet).
Cards are dealt according to the particular game rules.
You may have options such as fold, call, raise, or place bonus side bets, depending on the game.
The dealer reveals their hand and compares it to yours.
Payouts are determined according to the game’s paytable and whether the dealer’s hand qualifies (where applicable).
2.6.4 Game Variants & Paytables
Each specific poker game (e.g., Texas Hold’em variant, Three-Card Poker, Caribbean Stud) has its own rules and paytable.
These are shown in-game and are incorporated into these Game Rules.
2.7 BINGO
2.7.1 Objective
In Bingo, players purchase one or more cards and attempt to be the first to complete a winning pattern (for example, a line, full house/blackout, four corners, or other pattern) as numbers are randomly drawn.
2.7.2 Cards, Numbers & Patterns
Bingo games may use different formats (e.g., 75-ball, 80-ball, 90-ball). Cards are arranged in grids with pre-printed numbers. The game draws numbers at random from the permitted range (for example, 1–75, 1–80, or 1–90, depending on the variant), and players mark those numbers on their cards if present.
Each Bingo game will specify in-game:
The ball range and card layout used (e.g., 5×5, 4×4, 9×3).
The winning pattern(s) for that round (e.g., single line, multiple lines, full house/blackout, four corners, special shapes).
Only cards that achieve a declared winning pattern in accordance with the game timer and rules are treated as winners.
2.7.3 Draw, Claims & Payouts
Numbers are drawn using a random number generator (RNG) or an equivalent certified draw system. Once a winning pattern is achieved and validated by the system, the game round ends and winning tickets are paid according to the paytable and/or prize pool shown in-game.
Some Bingo games may have fixed payouts; others may be funded by a portion of ticket sales or linked jackpots. All such details are displayed in the Bingo lobby or game screen and form part of these Game Rules.
2.7.4 Variants
We may offer multiple Bingo variants (for example, 75-ball, 80-ball, or 90-ball). Any differences in card format, patterns, ticket pricing, jackpots, or prize distribution are shown in-game and apply to your play for that variant.
2.8 KENO
2.8.1 Objective
In Keno, players select numbers (“spots”) from a defined range (commonly 1–80). After betting, a set of winning numbers is drawn at random. Payouts are based on how many of the player’s chosen numbers match the drawn numbers, according to the game’s paytable.
2.8.2 Tickets & Bets
Before the draw, you:
Choose how many numbers (spots) to play and which numbers to mark on your ticket.
Choose your stake per ticket and, where available, the number of consecutive draws to enter.
Each Keno game will state:
The minimum and maximum bet per ticket.
The minimum and maximum number of spots you may select.
Whether multi-draw or special bet options (e.g., “boosted” tickets or bonus features) are available.
2.8.3 Draw & Results
Once betting closes, the game draws a fixed number of winning numbers (for example, up to 20 numbers from 1–80) using a certified RNG or equivalent drawing system.
Your ticket is evaluated against the drawn numbers. Payouts depend on:
How many numbers you picked (spots).
How many of those spots hit.
The paytable shown in-game for that spot selection and stake.
Some Keno variants may include bonus features, multipliers, or special jackpots. These features and their rules are fully described in the game interface and are part of these Game Rules.
2.8.4 RTP & Variants
Each Keno game has its own theoretical Return to Player (RTP) and paytable. RTP is a long-term statistical expectation, not a guarantee for any individual session.
Any variant-specific rules (for example, different draw counts, side bets, or bonus rounds) are shown within the Keno game client and apply on top of the general rules above.
2.9 SIC BO
2.9.1 Objective
Sic Bo is a dice game in which players bet on the outcome of a roll of three dice. Bets cover totals, specific combinations, or particular numbers appearing on the dice.
2.9.2 Dice & Bet Types
Three standard six-sided dice (showing 1–6) are rolled simultaneously. Common Sic Bo bet categories include (terminology may vary by game):
Big / Small – Betting that the total of the three dice will be in a defined range (for example, “Small” 4–10 and “Big” 11–17), typically losing if all three dice show the same number (a Triple).
Total – Betting on a specific total of the three dice (e.g., 4–17).
Specific Triple / Any Triple – Betting that all three dice show the same specific number, or any triple at all. These generally offer high payouts and high risk.
Specific Doubles – Betting that at least two dice show a particular number.
Single Number Bets – Betting that a particular number (1–6) appears on one, two, or all three dice.
The exact list of bet types, names, and payouts is provided on each Sic Bo game’s betting layout and/or help screen and forms part of these Game Rules.
2.9.3 Roll, Settlement & Payouts
After bets are placed and the betting timer closes, the three dice are rolled or simulated via RNG. Once the result is final, winning bets are paid and losing bets are removed according to the Sic Bo paytable on the table layout or within the game interface.
Different bets have different payout odds and house edges. Higher-paying bets (such as specific triples) generally have lower probabilities of occurring.
2.9.4 Variants
Electronic or RNG Sic Bo games may offer alternative layouts or bonus features, such as multiplier bets or side wagers. Any such features, including their payouts, are shown in-game and are incorporated into these Game Rules.
2.10 DRAGON TIGER
2.10.1 Objective
Dragon Tiger is a fast, two-card table game. Players wager on whether the Dragon hand or Tiger hand will receive the higher card, or whether the result will be a Tie.
2.10.2 Card Values & Dealing
The game uses one or more standard 52-card decks (no jokers). Cards are ranked in ascending order, typically with Ace low, followed by 2 through King as the highest.
For each round:
One card is dealt face-up to the Dragon position.
One card is dealt face-up to the Tiger position.
No additional cards are drawn.
2.10.3 Bets & Outcomes
Common main bets:
Dragon – Pays if the Dragon card is higher than the Tiger card.
Tiger – Pays if the Tiger card is higher than the Dragon card.
Tie – Pays if both positions receive cards of the same rank.
If Dragon or Tiger is selected and that side wins, the wager is paid at the odds shown in the game (often even-money for main bets). If a Tie occurs, Tie bets are settled according to the paytable. The treatment of Dragon and Tiger bets on a Tie (for example, full loss, partial loss, or push) is specified on the table or in-game rules and forms part of these Game Rules.
Some Dragon Tiger tables may also offer side bets (for example, bets on suits, specific ranks, or odd/even totals). All such side bets, including their payout odds and conditions, are described in the in-game help.
2.10.4 House Rules & Variants
Any variations in deck count, side bets, Tie handling, or payout odds are shown on the Dragon Tiger table or within the game client and apply to your play for that table.
2.11 MAHJONG (CASINO VARIANT)
2.11.1 Objective
Mahjong is a tile-based game of East Asian origin traditionally played with four players. Casino and online versions may adapt Mahjong into simplified formats (for example, fixed-payout pattern games or RNG bonus features) while preserving the central goal of forming valid tile combinations.
In general terms, players seek to form a complete hand using sets such as sequences and triplets, or to achieve specific patterns defined by the variant being played.
2.11.2 Tiles & Combinations
Mahjong uses a set of tiles that may include:
Suit tiles – typically Characters, Bamboo, and Dots in ranks 1–9.
Honor tiles – Winds and Dragons.
Bonus tiles – Flowers or Seasons, in some rule sets.
Casino Mahjong variants may use all or a subset of these tiles. Winning combinations generally include:
Sequences (three consecutive suited tiles),
Triplets/quads (three or four identical tiles), and
A pair, or other special patterns as defined by the specific game.
2.11.3 Gameplay & Scoring
Traditional four-player Mahjong involves drawing and discarding tiles to improve your hand, with scoring based on the patterns completed and the rules of the chosen variant.
Online and casino Mahjong games may instead:
Present pre-dealt or randomly generated sets of tiles;
Evaluate your tiles against a paytable of winning patterns; and/or
Use Mahjong iconography in bonus features and side games.
For any Mahjong-style game offered on this site, the exact winning patterns, point values, and payouts are described within the game client. Those rules, including how wins are scored and paid, form part of these Game Rules.
2.11.4 Variants & RTP
We may offer different Mahjong variants (for example, pattern-based RNG games, single-player bonus rounds, or simplified “set collection” games). Each variant has its own paytable and theoretical RTP, as shown in-game.
2.12 PACHINKO
2.12.1 Objective
Pachinko is traditionally a mechanical game in which players launch small steel balls into a vertical playfield filled with pins and pockets. The goal is to land balls in winning catchers to earn additional balls, which can then be used for further play or exchanged for prizes, subject to local laws.
Online or digital Pachinko-style games simulate this experience using virtual balls, pins, and catchers, or adapt the concept into slot-style reels (“pachislot”).
2.12.2 Gameplay
In classic Pachinko:
Players obtain a quantity of balls (or virtual credits/balls in online versions).
Balls are launched into the machine or game area, falling through an array of pins and obstacles.
Balls that fall into designated winning pockets or trigger zones result in a payout of additional balls or credits.
In online Pachinko-style games, launching and ball movement are handled via RNG and animations rather than physical hardware. The player’s role is to stake, initiate the ball drop/round, and watch the outcome.
2.12.3 Payouts & Features
Each Pachinko game specifies:
How stakes convert into balls or rounds.
Which catchers, symbols, or outcomes award prizes.
The payout structure for each winning outcome (for example, number of balls/credits returned, jackpots, or bonus rounds).
Modern Pachinko and pachislot implementations may include digital slot features such as reels, bonus games, or multipliers. Any such features and their associated payouts are described in the in-game help and are incorporated into these Game Rules.
2.12.4 RTP & Variants
Different Pachinko or pachislot games have different RTP and volatility profiles, which are displayed in the game or game information screen where applicable. All play remains subject to the RNG and paytable for that specific title.
