Table Games Payout Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet provides a comprehensive payout table for various bets in table games like Roulette, Blackjack, and Pai Gow, detailing winning odds, minimum, and maximum payouts for each bet type.

Core Principles

Different bets in table games have vastly different payout structures, ranging from 1 to 1 for even money bets to 35 to 1 for a straight-up bet in Roulette.
Side bets and bonus payouts offer higher risk/reward, with some like Pai Gow Progressive reaching up to 100% of the progressive jackpot.
Understanding these payout tables is crucial for players to make informed betting decisions and manage their wagers effectively.

Action Steps

Identify the specific table game you are playing (e.g., Roulette, Blackjack, Pai Gow).
Locate the section in the cheat sheet corresponding to that game.
Find the specific bet you are interested in (e.g., 'Even Money' in Roulette, 'Blackjack' in Blackjack, 'Royal Flush' in Pai Gow).
Note the 'Payout' odds, 'Min' bet, and 'Max' bet for that specific wager to understand potential returns and limits.

Key Terms

Payout: The ratio of winnings to the original bet, indicating how much a player wins for a successful bet.
Min Bet: The smallest amount a player can wager on a particular bet.
Max Bet: The largest amount a player can wager on a particular bet.
Straight Up: A bet on a single number in Roulette, offering the highest payout.
Even Money: Bets in Roulette that pay 1 to 1, such as Red/Black, Odd/Even, or 1-18/19-36.
Suited: In card games, refers to cards of the same suit (e.g., a suited blackjack means both cards are of the same suit).

Real World Examples

A Roulette player bets $10 on 'Red'.: This is an 'Even Money' bet with a 1 to 1 payout. If Red hits, the player wins $10 (plus their original $10 back).
A Blackjack player has a 'Suited 7-7-7' hand and wagers $5 on Buster Blackjack.: This specific hand qualifies for a high payout in Buster Blackjack, offering 200 to 1, meaning a win of $1,000.
A Pai Gow player achieves a 'Royal Flush' and has placed a bet on the 'Pai Gow Progressive'.: This hand can yield a payout of 100% of the progressive jackpot, which can be substantial, in addition to the regular Pai Gow hand payout.
