Chapter 1 – Basic Blackjack Strategy
The basic rules are outlined below. They don’t take long to get the hang of, and it is
recommended that before you play for money at any casino, you begin by playing some free
practice games to get to know the options available in that casino, and familiarise yourself with
the rules.
At this stage you don’t need to become over-concerned with the variations in the rules, as these
are covered in other sections.
Basic Blackjack Rules
In Blackjack, the basic idea is to get your hand to total closer to 21 than the dealer’s, without
going over 21 (going BUST). For the purpose of scoring, all picture cards (Jack, Queen and
King) are worth 10 points, and an ace can be worth either 1 or 11.
So a 7 and a 5 would make a score of 12
A King and a jack would total 20 (10 + 10)
An ace and a 5 would total 6 ( 1+5 ) or 16 (11 + 5)
An Ace and any of a 10, Jack, Queen or King is known as Blackjack - the best hand you can get
in Blackjack, totaling 21.
Initially, you are dealt two cards, and the dealer is dealt usually two cards, one of them being face
up.
You have a number of options here, which are explained below - you can STAND, HIT,
DOUBLE, SPLIT and sometimes SURRENDER. (Please note that the section Perfect Blackjack
teaches you what to do in any given situation, so don’t worry about that at this point!)
STAND is when you decide you don’t want any more cards, either because your score is already
high (say 17 or more) or because there’s a good chance that the dealer may go ‘BUST’ (score
over 21).
HIT is when you ask for another card. There isn’t any limit to how many additional cards you
have, as long as your total does not go over 21. However, if you do go over 21 you are ‘BUST’
and lose your stake automatically. When your total is less than 12, it is impossible to go ‘BUST’
by ‘HITTING’. However, the higher your score, the more likely it is that another card could
cause your total to go over 21 and be ‘BUST’.
An example game is now outlined:
To begin, you select how much you want to bet (or stake) on the hand – say £1. The dealer will
match your stake.
2
Say you are dealt a 7 and 2
As your score is 9, you may decide to get another card and ‘hit’ – say you get a 10
Now your score is 19, which is close to 21, so now you might decide to STAND.
Now it is the dealer’s turn. The dealer has to follow the ‘house rules’, which are the rules of the
casino you are in. These vary slightly from one casino to another, and are one of the reasons why
there are a range of strategy cards mentioned in the ‘Perfect Blackjack’ section.
The most often used rules are the Atlantic City blackjack rules. For the dealer, this means simply
that if the total could be 17 or more, then the dealer must STAND, but if the dealer has any total
less than 17, the dealer must HIT.
Say the dealer has a 9 and a 7. As the dealer’s score is now 16, the dealer must HIT, and gets a 6.
The dealer’s score is now 22 - BUST. You win the hand with 19, taking the £2 on the table.
DOUBLING involves doubling your bet on the hand, and asking for EXACTLY one more card.
Doubling is usually done on scores of between 9 and 11, when you think you are in with a very
good chance of winning the hand. Again, this is covered further in the Perfect Blackjack section.
SPLITTING can be done when you have a pair of the same cards. In essence, your 2 cards
become 2 separate hands and can then be treated as such. Your stake doubles, so if initially you
had £1 on the hand, you would now have a stake of £2 - £1 on each hand. You then play each
hand separately, and are dealt a second card to each hand. Dependant upon the rules of the casino
you are in, some rules allow you to re-split a hand, while some do not. Another frequent rule is
that if you split a pair of aces, you are only allowed one more card to go with each ace.
SURRENDER is an option only at some casinos. If available, you may decide to surrender your
hand, if you feel you are in with a very poor chance of winning it. When you surrender a hand,
you lose half of your stake.
INSURANCE In casinos where the dealer is dealt two cards initially (one face up, one face
down) and the showing card is an Ace, you may be offered Insurance against the dealer having
the highest hand, 21 or Blackjack. Never take insurance, as it increases the casino’s
advantage or profit margin!
SOFT AND HARD HANDS A ‘soft hand’ could be an ace and a five, where the total can be
either 6 or 16, depending upon whether the Ace is counted as 1 or 11.
A hard hand is either a hand without an ace, or where an ace has to count as 1 (click here) to keep
the total below 21.

Chapter 2 – Strategy to make money
Basically, what you want to do is deposit money into a casino, get whatever bonus is available,
bet the minimum you can (safely) to know that you’ve fulfilled the requirements of that particular
casino, and get your money and bonus out of the casino, back to your own account.
Some of the casinos are not U.K. based and deposits and withdrawals are made in dollars. This is
covered in the pages relating to each individual casino.
For example, Starluck Casino have a 100% match bonus for new users up to $100. What this
means is that if you deposit $100 with them, they will immediately credit you with another $100,
giving you a total of $200. Starluck Casino terms are that you have to bet (or wager) 16 times the
bonus, or $1600, before you can withdraw funds.
Although Perfect Blackjack statistically means you would get over 99% of what you bet or
wagered back, this is an average over a long period of time. On any one day, in any casino, you
can get a run of bad (or good) cards.
To quote two extremes from my own adventure through these sites, on both occasions I deposited
$100 and got $100 free bonus, totalling $200. On the day it went badly, I ended up with $149
after playing for 2 hours - basically I’d managed to make a profit of $49. But on the day
everything went for me, after 2 hours I had a massive $296 - a profit of $196 in 2 hours! (I wish I
could get this hourly rate for a full time job!)
So the strategy has to be to place a lot of small bets or wagers - I’ve stuck to £1 per game, or $2
(which is worth about the same). Although it takes a couple of hours to reach the wagering
requirements of the casinos, it is far less risky than placing £10 per hand, which would be asking
for trouble! If you place any larger bets and then don’t make any profit, don’t say you hadn’t
been warned!
Some casinos offer a ‘Multihand’ version of their game, where you can bet on two or more hands
at a time. From my experiences, this does have the benefit of speeding up the time it takes to bet
the required amount in a casino, but does increase the risk of losing the bonus money.
For example, one casino I played at allowed you to bet on 5 hands of cards at a time, all against
the dealer. Now if the dealer has blackjack, all five of those hands are guaranteed to lose (unless
a hand also has blackjack).
My recommendation would be that it is best to avoid the multihand option and just play with one
hand at a time, but if you feel you need to play multihand to speed things up, never play more
than 2 or (at an absolute maximum) 3 hands at a time.

Chapter 3 – How to play ‘Perfect Blackjack’
Perfect Blackjack’ involves reducing the edge the casino has over any players. In most cases, the
‘edge’ towards the house is less than 1 per cent - this is detailed in the individual pages for each
casino.
The table opposite is an example of a strategy card for playing perfect blackjack. Because
different casinos have slightly different rules, there are a number of different strategy cards to
reflect this. Each casino page identifies the correct strategy card for that casino.
How does a strategy card work?
Down the left hand column, you find the row relating to your hand. Then you find the column
across the top that relates to the dealers hand. You take the action shown in the square where the
row and column intersect. Below are some examples to illustrate this.
Example 1: You have an 8 and a 4 - making a total of 12
(click here) so find the row for 12. If the dealer has a 5, find
the column for 5 (click here). Where the column and row
meet you can see an S for STAND (click here), which is
what you should do.
Example 2: You have an Ace and a 6 - making a total of
either 7 or 17 (click here) so find the row for Ace, 6. If
the dealer has a 5, find the column for 5 (click here).
Where the column and row meet you can see an D for
DOUBLE (click here), which is what you should do.
5
Example 3: You have an 9 and another 9 - (click here) so
find the row for a pair of 9’s. If the dealer has a 6, find the
column for 6 (click here). Where the column and row meet
you can see a P for SPLIT (click here), which is what you
should do.
Example 4: You have an Ace and a 7 - making a total of 8 or 18
(click here) so find the row for Ace, 7. If the dealer has an Ace,
find the column for Ace (click here). Where the column and
row meet you can see an H for HIT (click here), which is what
you should do.

Chapter 4 – Top Tips
Firstly, if you’ve got any queries, please contact me by e-mail.
If you want to look at this month’s free e-books on my website, click here.
Top Tips this month
Firstly, for inexperienced casino players I suggest you try to play at casinos that offer instant
bonuses to start with, so you can clearly see the bonuses you’ve already got. Dependent upon
how little risk you want, play Littlewoods for no risk at all, or the likes of Starluck and Planetluck
(2 identical casinos), or Casino On Net or Bet365 for bigger profits.
If you just want really quick profits, the five casinos with the lowest wagering are Blue Square,
Coral, Planetluck and Starluck.
This month I'll try to briefly explain ways to speed up game play at the casinos:
1
Play the download version of the casino if it's available
2
Select turbo mode if it's available on screen
3
Go to Settings / Game Options (or similar title - on screen) and try to turn off the following
settings:
4
Turn off any background sound / dealer voices / commentary
5
Select Low resolution graphics
6
Turn off animations
7
Select Large Playing Cards if the option is there
8
Select quick play or similar if it appears in the options

Chapter 5 - Risk / Risk Free Betting
For those people who don’t like to take any risks, and hate gambling their own money, the idea of
gambling ‘risk-free’ must be very appealing. Basically, although you still have to put money into
a casino, you get a bonus and just bet the bonus. If you lose your bonus, then you you’re your
own money away again. Simple!
Deposits are only said to be risk free if they can be withdrawn at any time, even after you’ve lost
all the bonus money and haven’t fulfilled the wagering requirements to withdraw the bonus
Please note, however that casinos offering this risk-free feature are likely to refuse to give you
any future bonuses - they may in effect bar you from their site once you’ve withdrawn your
funds!
If you look at the ‘Current UK Casino Offers’ and ‘Current US Offers’ pages, they will indicate
which casinos are, at the time of writing, 100 % risk free!
In most cases, however, you will find that those casinos that are risk free require you to bet or
wager more money before they will let you withdraw any of the bonus money. At present, the
best example of this is ‘Sands of the Caribbean’ that require you to wager 80 times the bonus
before you can withdraw any of the bonus money!

Chapter 8 – Blue Square Casino
Whilst many of you have been playing at casinos requiring you to wager 20, 30, or
even 40 times the bonus in order to cash out, Blue Square is only 10 x wagering, so
can be done in well under an hour!
Click here to load Blue Square Casino, then open an account
Deposit £50 at the casino
Go to Table Games and select Multihand Blackjack Players Suite—choose the £1
game, then play for real.
Follow strategy card 5 to wager the required £500 before cashing out.
I wagered £2 per hand and it took about 45 minutes to wager £500. To check how
much you’ve wagered at any time, exit from the game, and select ‘My Account’.
This tells you how much you’ve wagered (bet) so far. Once it reaches £500, stop
betting!
When you have made your initial deposit and staked the £500, please send an email
to [email protected] (using the e-mail address that you registered with
BlueSqCasino.com). Include your username in the email message field. Please
ensure that you put 'Sign-up Bonus' as the subject of the e-mail.
Withdrawing Money
The casino won’t let you withdraw the £50 bonus unless it’s part of a winning bet.
So start by withdrawing all funds you had left before the £50 bonus—do this by
selecting ‘My Account’, then clicking on ‘Payments’ and ‘Withdrawals’. Enter the
amount to withdraw and your password.
You should now be left with the potential profit—the £50 bonus money. To
withdraw any of this money, it must be in a winning bet. You could if you wanted,
bet £50 on one hand of blackjack, but if you lost, you’d lose all £50 bonus. At the
other extreme, you could bet at £1 per hand 50 times, and each time you won,
withdraw the £2 winnings each time.
I found that betting £5 a game 10 times meant you roughly won 5 of the 10 games of
blackjack, so withdrew £10 five times from the casino to get the bonus out. How
much you choose to bet each time is obviously up to you.
17
I don’t normally go for any casinos that are quite as complicated as this, but to earn
roughly £50 for less than an hour’s work seems to good to miss out on.

Chapter 9 – Harrods Casino
Harrods Casino—approx £50 profit for 50 minutes ‘work’!
OK—Harrods is a famous name in shopping terms, but its’ casino, as you’ll see when you visit it,
offers statistically the best Blackjack return of any casino I’ve visited! I’ve even had to make a
seventh strategy card as none of the others were good enough! (see page 2)
The Basics
Cash bonus (match bonus given immediately) of £50
Wagering Requirement £1000 (20 times the bonus)
Game Rules
4 deck Blackjack
Dealer stands on all 17’s
You can double after a split
You can split up to 3 times
You can double on any first 2 cards
Surrender is available (lose half your stake)
Dealer checks if they have Blackjack at start of game
House edge only 0.288% (i.e. if you bet £1000 you’d lose an average of £2.88 of it—hence
statistically profit should be about £47.12!) - it is the best return of all the casinos!
Getting Started
Print out this information, then click here to visit Harrods Casino
Click to start playing at the casino
Download the software
Register at casino—there isn’t a promotional code so don’t worry!
Deposit £50—you’ll see your balance (top right of screen) is immediately £100
Play the top left hand game—Blackjack
Go to Settings and turn off all sound and voice to speed up the games
How much should I wager?
You can play ‘multihanded’ in that you can wager on both left and right hand sides of screen. I
wagered two hands at £2 each per deal, but if you’re more cautious and wanting to reduce risk,
play two £1 hands per deal.
How long will it take to wager £1000 and make around £50
At £4 per deal (2 hands at £2) I wagered £1000 in 70 minutes
At £3 per deal it’ll take you about 90 minutes
At £2 per deal (2 hands at £1) it’ll take you about 140 minutes
19
How much have I wagered?
You can find this out in one of two ways:
For a rough estimate go to Games History (under either Account or Service at top of screen).
Including doubles, each page of your games history is worth roughly 20 times your stake per
deal—so if your stake is £4 per deal, each page is worth approx. £80.
For an exact figure you can select Service and click on live help—enter your details and ask a
live help representative how much you’ve staked
Once you’ve wagered the required
£1000 simply withdraw the balance
of estimated £100—or about £50
for as little as an hour and a
quarter’s work all told!
Good luck!

Chapter 10 - Depositing and withdrawing money
Deposit Method
Some casinos offer different bonuses, or different rules regarding wagering, dependant upon
which method of depositing you use
I’ve listed the one I chose - but if you want extra options, I’ve listed these too in brackets,
although you’ll need to check their smallprint about extra incentives, or more stringent rules
regarding wagering requirements before you can withdraw the bonus
For example, some casinos give you a bonus for Neteller deposits - other casinos will make the
wagering requirements harder for the same Neteller deposits. To open a Neteller account, go to
http://www.neteller.com/ab/index.cfm .
Cheapest withdrawal method
Many casinos charge you fees to withdraw money to certain accounts
I’ve tried to find the cheapest withdrawal method, not necessarily the quickest method

Chapter 10 - Ways to make more money
If you for some strange reason did not make any profit, please remember my promise to you
when you bought this e-book, that I’d give a refund to anyone who was not satisfied with it!
Once you have made a nice tidy profit on the casinos, why not share this knowledge with your
friends? Various casinos (such as Casino On Net at the time of writing) also have a ‘Tell a
friend’ option - this is identified on the bottom of the left hand column on each casino page ENSURE YOU ONLY USE THE ONES I RECOMMEND!!. You register your friends names
and e-mail addresses with the casinos. Then, when your friend makes the required cash deposit,
both you and your friend get a further bonus. You may well have received such bonuses when
you played casino On Net, as your name was registered for you with them when you bought this
e-book.
So by all means tell your friends about the casino idea. If they want a copy of this e-book to help
them make their profits, please direct them to my e-bay adverts! But, to ensure you get the
bonuses from the casinos your friends go to, you may want to ensure you’ve registered them with
the casinos before you tell them to buy my e-book! (There’s honesty for you on my part!!)
Warning- a number of the casinos only give out bonuses to you if you’ve got a live account at the
casino, with funds in! So you may need to ensure you leave a small deposit in casinos that you
want to refer your friends to! And some casinos don’t allow you to bet ‘Tell a friend’ bonuses on
Blackjack, and won’t let you withdraw money until you’ve gambled this bonus on more risky
games!
Finally- once you’ve finished making your profits, could I ask that you return to the
feedback you left for me on e-bay, and leave a follow up comment about the profit you
made (if it’s as it should be, a nice profit!).

Chapter 11 – Warning(s)!
• This strategy works very well, but only when you follow it carefully. If you bet too much
on each blackjack hand to withdraw the profits more quickly, you could put your deposit at
risk - so remember to only bet £1 / $2 at a time.
• Always play the free version of the game first to get used to it.
• Check the small print at casinos - whilst this information is absolutely up to date when
written, casinos can change deals at any time!
• If you try to find other casinos to make even more money, check that bonus wagering
requirements can be wagered on Blackjack, and that the bonuses can be withdrawn from
casinos.
• If for some reason you do make a loss, don’t try to ‘chase the loss’ by continuing to bet.
• Only bet what you can afford to lose.
• Some casinos offer a ‘Multihand’ version of their game, where you can bet on two or more
hands at a time. From my experiences, this does have the benefit of speeding up the time it
takes to bet the required amount in a casino, but does increase the risk of losing the bonus
money.
• For example, one casino I played at allowed you to bet on 5 hands of cards at a time, all
against the dealer. Now if the dealer has blackjack, all five of those hands are guaranteed
to lose (unless a hand also has blackjack).
• My recommendation would be that it is best to avoid the multihand option and just play
with one hand at a time, but if you feel you need to play multihand to speed things up,
never play more than 2 or (at an absolute maximum) 3 hands at a time.
• Oh yes - and all your friends will be badgering you for information on how to make all the
profit - I suggest you direct them to my e-bay adverts.

Chapter 12 - E-bay feedback
My e-bay feedback score is very important to me - it’s also likely you looked at my feedback
rating before you bought my book in the first place.
If you for some strange reason did not make any profit, please remember my promise to you
when you bought this e-book, that I’d give a refund to anyone who was not satisfied with it! If
this is the case, PLEASE leave me positive feedback, as I’ve been as open and honest with you as
I could be.
Once you’ve finished making your profits, could I ask that you return to the feedback you left for
me on e-bay, and leave a follow up comment about the profit you made (if it’s as it should be, a
nice profit!). I may then have a further offer for you of another way to make some money, but
not until you’ve finished at the casinos and leave that feedback follow up for me.
Thanks for buying this e-book from me, and may I wish you every success in helping yourself to
the casino’s money.

Glossary of terms
Blackjack Rules: This tells you the rules of Blackjack used by this casino. This information has
been used to select the required Blackjack strategy card. If there is more than one type of
Blackjack game available on the site, be sure to select the one listed here (or in the website
instructions), as it will match the selected Strategy card.
Cheapest withdrawal method: Many casinos charge you fees to withdraw money to certain
accounts. I’ve tried to find the cheapest withdrawal method, not necessarily the quickest method
Currency: UK based casinos do all their transactions in £ sterling. Most other casinos operate in
US $ (although if you look you’ll find a number in Euros (€) too. Your money needs to be
transferred into the currency used by the casino. There seem to be slight changes in the exchange
rates used (either by casinos, credit cards or financial intermediaries such as Neteller) for
converting from £ and converting back into £, or from $ to £ and back to $. From my experience
I’d say it was about a 3% loss. This isn’t substantial enough to stop you having the opportunity
to make good profits from the casinos, but can slightly reduce your profits. I’ve tried to take this
exchange rate issue into account when quoting to you the estimated statistical profit in £UK and
US$.
Deposit Method: Some casinos offer different bonuses, or different rules regarding wagering,
dependant upon which method of depositing you use. I’ve listed the one I chose - but if you want
extra options, I’ve listed these too in brackets, although you’ll need to check their smallprint
about extra incentives, or more stringent rules regarding wagering requirements before you can
withdraw the bonus.
Estimated profits: I’ve listed this ONLY as a guideline - obviously the amount (if any) profit
you make is down to the cards you get and the amounts you bet. To calculate this, I’ve assumed
that you lose 1% of all money wagered (bet). Statistically, all the casinos offer over 99% returns,
so I’ll be slightly understating the potential profit at each casino. Basically, the higher the
wagering requirements as a multiple of all bonuses are, the more of the bonus you are statistically
likely to lose. As some non UK casinos also seem to give you slightly different rates of exchange
from £ to $ as they do when re-converting it back to £, I’ve based this calculation on my own
experiences to date, and not on current exchange rates, as these vary daily and between casinos
Information on Withdrawal: Different casinos operate in different ways. Some have a cash
account, and a separate ‘chips’ account, and from your cash account you have to buy or sell chips
before you can bet or withdraw funds. Others have a playing account (for gambling purposes)
and a separate account to transfer the money to for deposits and withdrawals. Some casino
withdrawals have to be made to an intermediary account such as Neteller - if this is the case then
by clicking on the name of the intermediary account, you can transfer to a page telling you what
information I found out about this account. Finally, you may want to keep a small deposit in
25
casinos that offer future monthly or ‘Tell a friend’ bonuses, as these are sometimes only given if
your account still has a credit balance.
Instant Bonus: This is the amount that will instantly be credited to your account when you make
the required deposit
Is deposit risk-free?: Deposits are only said to be risk free if they can be withdrawn at any time,
even after you’ve lost all the bonus money and haven’t fulfilled the wagering requirements to
withdraw the bonus. Please note, however that casinos offering this risk-free feature are likely to
refuse to give you any future bonuses - they may in effect bar you from their site once you’ve
withdrawn your funds!
Maximum worthwhile instant deposit: Casinos often match initial deposits by 100%, but they
do this only to a certain amount (e.g. $100). There is obviously no point putting in more money
than is necessary. Some casinos offer additional bonuses for much higher deposits (often over
£1000) but the wagering requirements before being allowed to withdraw these extra bonuses
usually make them too hard to be worthwhile.
Monthly Bonus: Some casinos offer monthly bonuses to users as well as the initial deposit. I’ve
only listed easily attainable monthly bonuses. You may see other monthly bonuses on offer, but
these often have high wagering requirements to trigger the bonus, such as ‘You must wager $6000
every month to receive a monthly bonus of $50’.
Other bonus (e.g. ‘Tell a friend’): Some casinos give you an additional bonus if you were
recommended by a ‘friend’. When you bought this e-book you should have received e-mails
from a number of casinos that I registered you with, so that you are entitled to this bonus once
you make the required cash deposit. Another bonus given out is when you don’t get an initial
instant deposit, and the casino states that once you have wagered (bet) a certain amount, they will
then credit you with a bonus. At the time of writing, Victor Chandler use this bonus strategy, and
in their case, you have to wait for up to two days before the bonus is credited to your account.
Strategy Card to use: I’ve listed the strategy card that you should use for the blackjack game
I’ve referred to under Blackjack rules or Website Instructions. By clicking on the card number,
you will be taken to a screen that shows the strategy card, and gives you the option to print it out.
Strategy cards were also sent to you in a separate document when you purchased this e-book.
Tell a Friend bonus: Some casinos offer financial incentives to both yourself and any friends
you recommend to them, who subsequently make the required cash deposit. WARNING - BE
AWARE THAT OFTEN, CASINOS RESTRICT WHICH GAMES YOU CAN PLAY TO
MEET WAGERING RESTRICTIONS FOR SUCH BONUSES - READ THE SMALL PRINT
ON THE ‘TELL A FRIEND’ PAGE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION!
Time from depositing to receiving money: This tells you roughly how long it will take for you
to get your money (and the ‘precious’ profits) back. Casinos don’t like to give you your money
26
back too quickly. Sometimes you have to wait for up to a week (often quoted as 5 ‘working’
days) just for your withdrawal to be approved. Sometimes you have to then transfer money to an
intermediary account such as Neteller, to avoid paying exorbitant fees to get hold of your money
more quickly. Even a basic deposit back to your credit card can take between 4 and 7 working
days. And if you’re sent a cheque, that takes 5 days to clear. The time quoted is roughly the time
it took me to get my money back - you may find yours takes a few days either side of this
estimate. For example, if you play the casino on a Friday you may have to wait until Monday for
the ‘first working day’ hence the weekend may be additional waiting time
Wagering amount: This is the amount you need to bet in order to be allowed to withdraw the
initial deposit from the casino. In cases where there is no initial instant bonus, this wagering
amount is usually the amount that you have to bet in order to qualify for the other bonus (below)
Wagering amount for this bonus: This states the amount of money that has to be bet (wagered)
in order to be allowed to withdraw the bonus.
Wagering as a multiple of all bonuses: Different casinos have all sorts of offers and wagering
requirements. Calculating the wagering requirement as a multiple of all bonuses allows you to
compare one casino with another more easily. The lower the multiple, the easier it is to withdraw
bonuses from the site. I’ve deliberately not listed casinos that require you to wager more than 60
times the bonus, as the risk of not making a profit increases, the higher the multiple is. For
example, casino A may give you a 100% bonus and say you’ve got to wager the bonus 20 times
before you can withdraw it. Casino B may also offer a 100% bonus, but say you’ve got to wager
both your deposit and bonus 15 times before you can withdraw it. As a multiple of all bonuses,
casino A requires you to wager the bonus 20 times. Casino B requires you to wager the bonus 30
times, not as good an offer as Casino A. IMPORTANT - SOME CASINO BONUSES CAN’T
BE CLAIMED BY WAGERING WITH BLACKJACK. THESE BONUSES ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS FIGURE AS YOU’LL HAVE TO WAGER THEM IN MORE RISKY
GAMES - READ THE CASINO’S SMALL PRINT FOR EXACT DETAILS OF THESE
OFFERS!
Website Instructions: This tells you how to go about loading the Casino to your PC, what
options to select to get started at the site, and other relevant information (e.g. how to find out how
much you have wagered)
