Darts is one of the most popular bar sports around the globe. Leagues and tournaments are a popular pastime in many cities. Therefore, one of the leading online gaming developers, Playtech, recently released two games relating to darts. The games are aptly entitled, Darts and Jackpot Darts and can be accessed through the Arcade Games section within the Games menu at all casinos powered by Playtech software.
The game begins with the player placing the initial wagers. In this game, there are three methods of betting permitted:
- Hitting a specific section of the board
- Combination bet
- Total score
The first wager consists of a bet that one of the three darts thrown will land in a specific section on the dart board. These sections include single, double and triple rings on the outer portion of the board and the single or double bull on the inner portion of the board. The second bet involves wagering on whether the darts will hit a combination of an exact number of times from zero to three. Combinations can include a color, or outer ring.
The final bet is the total score. Since each section of the dartboard contains a score, players bet that the score of all three darts will add to a certain number. There are predetermined ranges so if the score falls in a selected range, the player wins.
The first step to placing a wager is selecting the amount and placing the bet in a particular section on the dartboard. Rolling the cursor over that section will reveal the odds (in decimals and fractions) of that location. At this point, multiple bets can be placed with the total displayed on the screen.

A hand will then appear and toss all three darts toward the board. Winning bets and the subsequent payouts will appear under the “Results” caption. If any amount is won, the player has the opportunity to bet again with those payouts. In this bonus round, darts are thrown again with the amount wagered increase and thus higher payouts.
The second game, Jackpot Darts, has similar rules with the addition of a progressive jackpot that rises with every wager. To hit the jackpot, a player must bet that all darts land in the bull’s eye. The remaining rules are the same.
Each of these games is available at all Playtech casinos. Due to the excellent graphics and sound, these two games give the persona of a realistic tavern environment featuring darts as the central point of interest.
