Vegas Style Solitaire is a popular form of gambling in casinos across the country, well-liked by gamblers who don't care to compete with other players for winnings. The game uses a standard 52-card deck and usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes per play. Players attempt to play as long as possible, making more money the farther they get, and potentially winning a Jackpot if a game is played to the finish.
Setting Up the Game
After shuffling the deck, create the "tableau," which is the familiar card formation characteristic of Solitaire. To create the tableau, flip the top card on the deck faceup and place it on the playing surface. Place six cards facedown in a row beside the first, moving from left to right. Flip another card faceup, place it on the second card from the left and place another card facedown on each of the remaining cards to the right. Continue this pattern until you have seven stacks of cards with the rightmost deck containing seven cards, with the top card positioned faceup.
Playing the Game
Your goal is to place ace cards in another row above the tableau (in piles known as the "foundation" stacks), and then to place the respective cards from each suit atop the aces in order. However, the only cards that can be moved to the foundation stacks are those atop tableau stacks. You can build on the tableau by placing any card on another, as long as the second is the opposite color and one rank lower than the first. For instance, you can place a black jack on a red queen. If all faceup cards are removed from a tableau stack, the top card is flipped and enters play. If all cards in a tableau stack have been played, a king card and any cards played on it may be moved into the empty space.
Using the Stock Deck
The cards that are not used when creating the tableau are the "stock deck." In Vegas Style Solitaire, the player flips these cards one at a time onto the table. If the player can legally play the card, he may do so. However, if the player cannot, he must flip the next card from the stock deck. The player may flip through the stock only one time.
Winning the Game
When the stock deck has been completely exhausted and all tableau cards have been legally moved to the foundation decks, the game is over. It is possible to complete the foundation stacks, but unlikely. In a real Vegas Style Solitaire game, the player receives five dollars at the end of the game for each card in the foundation stacks.
