SimCasino Beginners Tutorial

Hello there casino owners! Having a rough start?! Hopefully this tutorial will help you get started!

Main Menu

When u first enter the game, you will have the option to set a New Profile. You can enter ur name & select the following options:

• Starting Cash - Choose between $125.000 / $200.000 / $500.000 / $1.000.000
• Unlocked Cash - Allows negative cash spending.
• Instant Research - Makes you start with all research unlocked.
• Auto Delivery - Don't wait for your items to be delivered!
• Instant Staff - Staff will arrive at once.
• Prebuild Starter Map - Gives you a prebuild space.

For your first game I recommend playing with $200.000 & Auto Delivery / Instant Staff & The prebuild starter map!
This game will have the option to really micromanage ur casino, but for starters it's better to focus on making a profits and master the basic controls first.

Getting Started

Once ur world is loaded, you'll see you start with a small building that includes a vault (where u keep your cash) & a storage (where you keep drinks/foods etc.)
There is also a ATM machine. These are really usefull to place around since you want guests to spend as much money as possible!
On the left side there is a little menu with some quick and usefull tools. Hover over them to see each function!
Now, To get your casino started you should start adding some slot machines.
On the bottem side press the build button. Here you can select all different catagory's for now select the 2 dices.
Select ur first slot machine and place them into your building. (when you hold ur mouse button and drag the mouse left/right u can build a row).
I'd suggest to build around 15/20 slot machines. (5 in each row).
You can select your chairs & in the same menu u can even change the colors! Once you placed the slot machines down, its time to set them up!

Setting Up the Basics of Your Slot Machines

Click on a slot machine to change the settings for that machine! You can choose the following options:

• Designer Tool - Lets you change chair/color.
• Reset to default - Reset all changes.
• Apply to all of same game - Set all ur changes to all slot machines with the same game.
• Apply to all in row - Set all ur changes to all slot machines within the same row.
• Change Game - Here you can select a game i recommend setting the same game for each row.

Now the most important thing! What will be the pay costs / what will they win?!

Setting Up Bet Chance & Odds

Play cost
By default it is set by $0.01 this will mean that whenever a guest start to play they will pay $0.01 for each spin. I'd say increase this ammount for each row! (If you have 3 rows, set 1 row to $1.00 / 1 to $5.00 & 1 to $10.00). Now we have the change the odds to make sure the house advantage is under 10% and above 0%.
Single bet push chance
Its 35% by default. This means that ur guest will have 35% chance to win back whatever the play cost is!
Double bet prize chance
Its 4% by default. This means that ur guest will have 4% chance to win double whatever the play cost is!
Jackpot / Jackpotchance
Its 0.5% for $25.00 by default. This means that ur guest will have 0.5% chance to win $25.00

If you set all slot machines to the same game & select 'set all to same game' All slot machines will have the same settings. After this you can change the games (but your settings will stay the same).

Advertising

When u click on the guest tab u will be able to advertise ur casino. For the first 2/3 days I use the locas leaflets with default settings.
Once you've got more slots or table games you can choose to buy a more expencive one.

Building Your First Facility's

All guest will have some needs, Since you start with a small casino i recommends building a general toilet (with 2 toilets (1for each 10 slots) & a drink bar.
You can place sofa's & chairs close to the bar so when ur bar is full they can still order a drink and have a moment to relax and sit down!
By now you should also place down a 2nd ATM (specially when u set your slot machines to $10.00 Play cost).

Now Its Time to Place Some Table Games!

First you'll need atleast a 3x3 space for a pit boss office (found under staff facility's). Make sure u zone the area & enclose this space (and add a staff door).
After u build the office you can place down a cashier cage (found under gambling). Here your guest can trade the chips they won into cash. You'll only need 1 for now.
Now select any table game you like, set the chairs and ur done!

Research

By now you'll have your casino up and running! Guest will come in & you should have some daily profits. This will mean you can start building a small research office & start researching!
I'd recommend to start unlocking:

• Bigger Advantage (Makes you set house advantage to 20% = More Profits!)
• Players Club Desk (Makes guest sign up to be a member in ur casino so guest will come back more often)
• High limit gamble zone (Set a zone with higher play cost = More Profits!)

Expanding!

Make sure you keep expanding along the way! Place more & more table games/slot machines to increase profits.
Maybe start a small hotel on the 2nd floor or make a little bingo hall!
Be sure you play around with all the options! Once you've got some experience you could start a new profile & really start building your dream casino!

Some Last Tips I Find Very Useful!

• Keep 1 slot game open to use as a 'set setting game'. This will let you set new slot machines up much faster!
• If you set ur slot machines on a low single/double win-rate your guests will get very frustrated!
• Slots Machines will make much more $ then table games.
• When u press Z on your keyboard you will toggle all zones!
• When u press V on your keyboard u can quickly copy / paste almost everything!
• Under the building menu you'll have the option 'clone area tool' This can come in really handy in you would like to copy/paste hotel rooms or bathrooms!

I hope this tutorial was useful for you guys! Good luck making the big bucks!

Odds Primer

Before going deeper into each casino game, it is important to know exactly what odds are. Odds refer to mathematics in that they represent a basic probability of a potential outcome and are usually expressed in a decimal or fractional format. A well-known example is the traditional coin toss before a football match. By flipping a two-sided coin, you know that there are exactly two possible outcomes (unless by a quirk of fate the coin comes to rest on edge): heads or tails. The probability of the coin landing heads up is one out of two, expressed 1 to 2 as a ratio. Another way to express the odds of a coin toss outcome is in percentages. Ask anybody what the odds are, and they will likely reply: 'fifty-fifty'. This refers to the 50% chance that either head or tails will result.

Just like a coin has two sides, a roulette wheel has 37 or 38 slots, a standard deck has 52 playing cards, and a die has six sides. These numbers and the various results of each play represent the probabilities of the games. It is easy to see how math and odds are very much a part of casino gambling. While most players are busy having a roll of the dice at craps tables, or taking their next hit at blackjack, they rarely stop to consider the actual math behind their wager, and how placing certain bets will either increase or decrease their overall expectation of winning. Smart gamblers realise that there are strategic ways to bet and play certain casino games that will make all the difference. They also know that if one's goal is to walk away a winner, certain games should be avoided. With that in mind, we will begin to explore which games offer the best odds.

Best Odds, Worst Odds

Most gamblers, from the total beginner on up to the professional, know that a casino is an entertainment business that generates revenue from its players. How are new and extravagant casino resorts built? More recently, from hefty borrowing, but historically, from the combined deficit of the players. Every casino game has an inherent advantage for the casino known as the 'house edge'. This percentage represents how much the casino expects to make from every betting unit wagered. For example, the house edge in double zero roulette is 5.6 percent. So, for every 100 betting units wagered, you can expect to lose 5.60. This may not seem like a lot, but several important factors must also be considered.

Casino Themed Table Settings

Let's say you're playing blackjack at 25 units a hand, and the table is averaging 60 hands played per hour. Multiply 25 times 60 hands and you are playing through 1,500 units an hour. Let's say you play for four hours. That means that you play through about 6,000 credits of which the casino expects to take 0.8 percent - if you're playing perfect basic strategy. This amounts to a loss of only 48 units - which isn't that bad - making blackjack one of the better options for players.

Consider how much the house would expect to gain by your playing roulette for the same amount of time. Roulette is a slightly slower paced game, with maybe a round every couple minutes or so, and not many players are quite avid enough to spend four hours at a table. But, for arguments sake, we will examine that at a rate of 30 rounds per hour with a flat bet of 25 credits, playing for four hours, a casino would expect to make 157.80 from your play. Again you might say, well that's not an overly exaggerated amount to expect to lose during a session at a casino, but keep in mind that it's playing over time that makes it add up. Twenty such sessions a year would set you back 3,156 credits and multiply that by the number of years you plan to play, and you'll see that it really does add up.

Great Expectations

Some people gamble at a casino for the fun and excitement that this unique form of entertainment delivers. That is perfectly fine, as gambling at an online or land-based casino can be a leisurely, enjoyable hobby. Recreational players don't mind parting with a reasonable amount of money because they can rationalise the experience in saying it was the price paid for a little fun. This is fine as long as that person is an occasional player, or if they hadn't really planned to devote the time to studying the games or taking steps to improve their chances of winning money during sessions. However, the truth is that - given the choice - most players prefer to win, and there are proven ways to dramatically reduce the chances of losing - namely by not playing games with bad odds - such as keno. Keno carries one of the highest house advantages of all games, weighing in at a hefty 25%. This is actually as good as the odds get for keno, with the odds varying from casino to casino.

The following chart shows the expected house edge for casino table games and also sports betting. For any given session on any given day, these percentages can fluctuate quite a bit, however they represent a fairly accurate expectation of the house's advantage over time. To see how the house edge is playing out for players at online casinos, you may examine a monthly ranking of recent online casino payout percentages, broken down by category such as table games, slots, poker games and overall payouts.

Game	House Edge

Craps (double odds)
Blackjack	0.80%*
Baccarat (banker)
Baccarat (player)	1.63%
Pai Gow Poker
Roulette (single zero)	2.7%
Three-Card Poker
Let It Ride	3.5%
Sports Betting
Caribbean Stud Poker	5.26%
Roulette (double zero)
Big 6 Wheel	11.1% to 24%
Keno
* two deck game with favorable house rules for players

Looking at the chart above, you'll see that craps, blackjack, and baccarat offer the smallest house advantage. These are the games upon which you should focus. Coincidentally, craps and blackjack are two of the most popular online casino games, and this makes their study feel less like actual study and more like fun. If you already know a thing or two about blackjack, then you probably know that it is one of the only games where a skilled player can not only eliminate the house edge, but go a step beyond that by creating a player's edge. How is this possible? Learning basic strategy to perfection is the first step. Next is becoming a knowledgeable and accurate card counter. Lastly, adjusting bets and hand decisions based on the count while masking your expertise to the dealer, pit personnel, and preferably other players. Unless you are already a natural genius at math, this will likely take hundreds of hours of practice. Few ever make it to the level of professional blackjack player. If you are able to someday acquire this elite status, you can expect to have an edge over the house at somewhere between 0.5 and 2 percent. Again, you might say this doesn't seem like a lot. It's time, my friend, time that makes things add up. A professional player can expect to make in the neighborhood of 30 units per hour playing blackjack, depending on betting level. While this is a lot more than minimum wage, it is not a salary by which millionaires are made either.

This is just an example of one way to make smart play work for you. Instead of giving up a big advantage to the house playing a game like keno, try learning basic craps or blackjack strategy and you'll likely notice a decrease in your losses and an increase in your winnings right off the bat. Focusing on low house edge games like blackjack, craps, etc is the smartest play when it comes to casino gambling.
