In the event that odds refer to every sporting event individually, the total ratio per combination is obtained by multiplying the odds of every single sporting event.

In order to bet in this manner, the player should pick one or more dogs or horses from the first line of numbers of dogs or horses.
The third option would be for the player to bet on the three best dogs (horses). If a player guesses the combination of the first three dogs (horses) right, the player wins an amount equal to the product of odds assigned to those three dogs (horses) and the stake.
If a player decides to bet in this manner, they need to pick a dog (horse) from the first line, one from the second and one from the third. If they pick more dogs (horses) from all lines, the application will create combinations of dogs (horses).
In order to place a bet, the player needs to enter their stake in the field “AMOUNT” and select the dogs (horses) that they want to bet on and confirm the bet.

GAME DESCRIPTION – TEXAS HOLD’EM POKER
Article 54
Texas Hold’em Poker is a virtual game based on a random number generator.
Texas Hold’em Poker is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. There is a dealer button, a marker that is moved clockwise around the table and it indicates the player who is dealing in any given hand (if no house dealer is present), and the player who is required to make a forced bet.
There are two forced bets in Texas Hold’em and they are known as blinds. The game starts when two players to the left of the player place forced bets i.e. small and big blind before the cards are dealt. The big blind is twice the amount of small blind.
When bets are placed, each player receives two cards face down, so that only the player who is dealt the cards can see them. The goal is to make the best combination possible with the two cards that a player holds with the five community cards dealt during the game. This refers to the best combination of five cards as in the regular poker, which means that out of seven cards (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) each player is supposed to make the best combination of five cards, disregarding the extra two cards that are not part of the combination. This means that at the showdown, your hand may consist of:
Player’s 2 hole cards and 3 community cards player’s 1 hole card and 4 community cards
5 community cards
The player who makes the best combination is the winner and wins the pot. The pot is the sum of all bets made during one hand.
When all players are dealt two cards each, the first betting round begins. The first to act is the player to the left of the big blind. The player, as everyone else at the table, has three options:
- to match the highest bet (in this case the big blind) – call
- to increase the previous high bet – raise
- to drop out of the hand and return the cards to the dealer – fold
When the cards are returned to the dealer they are put aside and may not be used in that hand.
All players that follow have the same options, but if a player has raised the big blind, the next one can raise it more, which means they can increase the bet played by the previous player.
Similarly, if a player raises the bet, the one that follows will either have to match the bet and/or increase it.
After the first betting round is complete, the dealer burns a card that is on the top of the deck faced down, and it will not be used in that hand, upon which they deal the flop of three face-up community cards.
The second betting round, as well as any subsequent round, begins from the player to the left of the dealer button. If the player has folded before the flop is dealt, the next player is asked and so on. Now the players have the fourth option alongside the three options described above, which is to check. This means that a player stays in the hand but does not bet, which is possible only if no one before them has raised in the second round.
Once a player raises the bet, others may call (match the bet), re-raise (raise the previous high bet) or if they believe they cannot make a good combination out of hole cards and the 3 community cards (or it is not worth waiting for the additional two cards to be dealt by the dealer), they can fold (abandon the hand).
Thus at the end of each betting round, all players must put the same amount of money in the pot, with an exception of players who go all-in (betting all chips), when dealer makes a Side Pot which limits the pot that a player who does not have enough chips for the hand to continue regularly. The Main Pot remains alongside the Side Pot and the players who continue play in the same hand compete for it.
When the second betting round is complete, the dealer burns another card and adds the fourth card to the flop, so that there are 4 community cards on the table that the players may use to make their combinations.
The third betting round begins after the fourth card or the turn has been dealt. The betting in this round is the same as in the previous round.
After the third betting round, another card is burned and the fifth card is added to the turn, so that there are 5 community cards on the table that the players may use to make their best combination (including the two hole cards in their hands).
The same rules apply as those in the previous two rounds. A showdown occurs after this round and all the players who remain must show their cards, and the player with the best combination is awarded the pot.
The list of hands by rank is as follows:
- Royal Flush – 5 high-rank cards of sequential rank, all of the same suit (from A to 10)
- Straight Flush – 5 lower-rank cards of sequential rank, all of the same suit
- Quads – four of a kind
- Full House – a pair of cards of the same rank and 3 cards of the same rank
- Flush (suit) – 5 random cards, all of the same suit
- Straight – 5 cards of sequential rank, not all of the same suit
- Three of a kind
- Two pair – two pairs of 2 cards of the same rank
- Pair – 2 cards of the same rank
- High Card – if none of the players have any of the combinations listed above, the highest-rank card will decide the hand and the pot is awarded to the player who has it. If two players have the high card of the same rank, they split the pot.
GAME DESCRIPTION – FRENCH ROULETTE
Article 55
The roulette is a virtual game where the winning number is determined by a random number generator.
The player places a bet on a number that they believe will be the winning number the ball will stop on after spinning on the roulette. There are many ways to place a bet on the French Roulette. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and the probability of winning is as follows: betting on a single number sets the odds at 35:1, betting on two numbers sets the odds at 17:1, betting on three numbers sets the odds at 11:1, betting on four numbers sets the odds at 8:1, betting on six numbers sets the odds at 5:1, betting on 12 numbers sets the odds at 2:1, betting on 18 numbers sets the odds at 1:1.
Straight bet – The bet can be placed on any number, including zero, by placing a chip at the center of the square. The maximum stake for that bet is specified on the roulette table (marked as MAX). The minimum take applies to all bets, which means the bets on positions available for betting have to at least match the minimum value marked on the table.
Split bet – The bet can be placed on two adjoining numbers, by placing a chip on the line separating them. The maximum stake for that bet is double the maximum stake for a straight bet.
Street bet – The bet is placed on any three numbers horizontal. It is placed by putting a chip at the borderline of the roulette table, at the end of a corresponding row. The maximum stake for that bet is triple the maximum stake for a straight bet.
Corner bet – The bet is placed by laying a chip at the corner of four adjoining numbers. The maximum stake for that bet is four times the amount of maximum stake for a straight bet.
Top line – The bet is placed on numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3 by placing a chip on the borderline between 0 and the first row. The maximum stake for that bet is four times the amount of maximum stake for a straight bet.
Six line – A double-street bet, i.e. a bet placed on any six numbers in two rows made up of three numbers, which is placed by positioning a chip on the borderline of the roulette table where the line separating the two rows intersects it. The maximum stake for that bet is six times the maximum stake for a straight bet.
Column bet – At the bottom of each column there are three unmarked squares, so the bet is placed if a chip is put in one of the three squares. If any of the numbers that belong to a selected column is guessed right, the payout will be at a ratio of 2:1, while 0 is a loss. The maximum stake for that bet is ten times the maximum stake for a straight bet.
Dozen bet – A bet can be placed on a group of 12 numbers by putting a chip on one of the three squares marked as P12, M12 or D12. If one of the 12 numbers is guessed right, the payout will be at a ratio of 2:1, while 0 is a loss. The maximum stake for that bet is ten times the maximum stake for a straight bet.
Red/Black, Odd/Even, 1-18, 18-36 – A bet is placed on one of the fields located around the perimeter of the table, covering half of the numbers on the roulette table (except for 0), whereby each field covers 18 numbers. For all such bets, the payout will be at a ratio of 1:1, while 0 is a loss. The maximum stake for that bet is ten times the maximum stake for a straight bet.
GAME DESCRIPTION – BLACKJACK
Article 56
Blackjack is a virtual game that uses a random number generator.
Blackjack is a card game where a player can gain some statistical advantage with respect to the croupier. It can be played with one or multiple decks of cards, up to eight (without jokers).
Bets – Before dealing, each player has to place a bet in chips. Then each player is dealt two cards face up, and the croupier takes one card face up and one card face down.
The goal of the game is to reach a score of 21 or as close to 21 as possible. If a player exceeds a score of 21, they lose.
Card value – Numeric cards have the same value as the number they show, while face cards jack (J), queen (Q) and king (K) all have a value of 10. An ace (A) counts as 11 points, if a total of other cards is 10 or less, or as 1 point, if a total of other cards is 11 or more. However, if a player has two aces, one of them has to have a value of 11 points, unless the total of all other cards is 10 or more.
After dealing, on their turn each player has to choose whether to end their turn (stand) or to take a card from the dealer (hit).
HIT (take another card) – A player can take as many cards as they wish, until the sum of cards exceeds 21. When the total exceeds 21, the player loses the hand and is left without their stake.
STAND (no more cards) – A player takes cards until they decide the total they have in their hand is enough.
DOUBLE (double wager) – If a player’s first two cards have a total score of 9, 10 or 11, the player may double the wager, upon which they will receive exactly one more card from the dealer.
SPLIT (splitting cards) – If a player receives two cards that are the same, they may separate them into two hands. The player has to wager the same amount they have bet initially. Upon doing that, the player can draw a card for the two hands separately. If they receive the same card on one of the already separated cards, they may choose to split them again.
SURRENDER (giving up) – If a player decides to retire from the game, the croupier takes away a half-bet.
BLACKJACK – If a player is initially dealt an ace and 10, J, Q or K, they win the hand automatically and they are paid 3/2 of the wager (this is called a blackjack).
INSURANCE – When the dealer gets an ace as one of the two cards (the one facing up), the player is offered an option of taking insurance. The player may then wager up to a half-bet before the dealer checks their hole card (the one facing down), betting that it will be a 10, J, Q or K. In that case, they are paid 2:1 (the insurance is multiplied by 2).
The dealer’s play – How the dealer plays is strictly defined. The dealer draws cards, so that they are required to draw a card up to a total of 16, while they are not allowed to draw any more cards when the total exceeds 16.
When all the players end their turn, the dealer turns their card face up. Then they draw cards while the score is 16 or less. If they reach a score of 18 to 21, they stop and the other players compare their score with the dealer’s. If the dealer has a score greater than 22, the dealer loses and all other players win. If the dealer has a hard 17 (no aces or an ace and 16 points in other cards), they stand. If the dealer has a soft 17 (an ace and any combination of 6), then their game depends on the predefined rules that may vary and they tell the dealer whether they will draw more cards or not.
The end of the game (comparing scores) – If a dealer has a higher score with respect to the player, the player loses. If it is vice-versa, the player wins and they are paid 1:1 with respect to the wager. If the player and dealer have the same total (push), the player is returned the wager without winnings, unless any of the two of them has blackjack while the other has a regular 21. In that case, the one who has blackjack wins.
GAME DESCRIPTION – SLOTS
Article 57
Slots are virtual games that use a random number generator.
Slots have the following basic modes: classical single-line or multi-line slots or video slot machines, where the goal is to generate a random series of symbols by a random action from the player. If the symbols line up in certain order, the outcome is a win and the player collects the winnings.
Specifically: the standard slots have three reels: a bet is placed, three reels are spun and depending on the outcome of the spin, the player either wins or loses.
Max slot machines with 2 or 3 reels: a maximum of two coins may be wagered, not three as in standard slots.
Bonus game: slots that have a bonus game require that a player get a special combination of symbols or to collect certain symbols, wagering the maximum amount allowed, upon which they get a bonus spin, qualifying them for special prizes.
N-line slots: bets are placed on lines that pay and the player decides what lines they wager on. In that case the wager will be the amount placed on a line multiplied by a number of lines.
Multi-spin slots: after the initial spin, the player chooses reels that they do not want to spin, while spinning the remaining reels.
