INTRODUCTION TO SOLITAIRE
Solitaire is definitely one of the most common and well known free games and is likely part of your software package when you purchase your computer. Most Canadians are familiar with this game. Many people do not know that you are able to play this game for money but the rules slightly change in order to get paid.
HOW TO PLAY SOLITAIRE
There are 2 types of games that you can choose to play, three card or single deck Solitaire. In three card Solitaire, the top three cards of the deck are stacked up and can be used on any of the stacks. The number of times that you can go through the deck to get rid of all the cards three. In single deck the cards are turned over one at a time and only go through the deck once.
The goal of the game is to have 4 separate stacks of cards relative to suit and in ascending order from Ace up. You will first need to retrieve the ace from each suit and then the rest of the cards in order. You are paid based on the amount of cards that you pile in the stacks.
The rules to online casino solitaire are similar in almost all ways other than the way that a player is paid out. You can read below about the typical pay schedule.

Playing optimal Solitaire is all about making the right decisions. It’s a game of patience (which is coincidentally another name it often goes by) and luck of the cards. Below we’ve listed some basic strategy rules to getting the best out of each deck!
- Aces and two’s should always be played right away. Leaving them where they stand will only hold up or hinder your playing. Move the aces and two’s to the suit stacks so you are free to move other cards there as they turn up.
- Always choose to make a play or transfer a card that frees up another down card, no matter what other considerations may apply.
- Always choose to free up a down card from the biggest pile of down cards possible. Don’t choose to turn over a down card located in a pile of 3 cards over a pile of 6.
- Only move cards from column to column if it frees up a down card or makes the columns smoother.
- Don’t bother trying to clear en empty spot unless you have a King ready to take the empty space.
- Try and play a King that will benefit the column with the most amount of down cards, unless you have another King that will do this that’s lying in waiting.
- Once you reach the point where you feel all the appropriate cards have been played and there are still down cards remaining you may play any cards to the suit stacks.
A good rule of thumb in Solitaire is to always try and expose as many cards as you can and to always make sure each move you make has an immediate result that allows you to make another move. Think of it a bit like chess – you need to plan your moves a little in advance so you know what all your options are.
