Casino Solitaire

Casino Solitaire Game Overview

You can't go wrong with a classic, and Solitaire is one of the ultimate classics!

Casino Solitaire uses the same, standard deck of 52 cards as in traditional solitaire and has the same aim - get all the cards out from the stacks to win.

How to Bet

Start the game by deciding how much you'd like to wager - the bet screen will let you know how much you'll win for each card you get out on the stacks (building from Ace up in each suit).

You can also place the following two Side Bets in Casino Solitaire:

• No Move - no initial move possible from the deal. Pays 15x your bet if you win.
• Red and Black - start with an entire hand of red cards or an entire hand of black cards. Pays 200x your bet if you win.

The Deal

Cards are randomly shuffled before the play starts.

The dealer will lay the cards out into seven columns, starting from the left-hand side.  The last card in each column is dealt face up.

Each column will have one more card than the last. The number of cards per column ascends as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

The four suit stacks are empty in the beginning, and the remaining cards are placed in a 'play' deck.

Rules of play

Aces are low in this game.

Starting with Aces, move face-up cards into the four suit stacks.

Cards can be moved into other columns as long as they are in consecutive descending order and follow an alternating colour pattern (for example, a red 'six' may be placed on top of a black 'seven'). 

To move cards, select the highest card you want to move and drag it to a new column (select the highest card to move the entire column). 

Click the 'play' deck to reveal a card and see if it can be moved.

The number of cards that remain in the 'play' deck will be shown onscreen.

You can only complete the 'play' deck once.

To win

Every time you get a new card onto a suit stack, you win something.

If you manage to clear every column as well as the 'play' deck, the top prize will be yours!

Click 'hint' to highlight the next possible move.

Please note that this will only show if there is a move available.

Return to Player

Return to Player: 96.80%

The expected return is the amount we pay out to players relative to the amount of wagering on the game. 

In Casino Solitaire, this is based on the assumption that you choose the optimal strategy for each card.

For example, if we take £100 of wagers we will, on average, pay out £96.80 of wins.
