TAMPA - The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino wants you to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, and, of course, when not to walk away.

Starting July 15, the casino will offer free classes on how to play the card games now offered in the cavernous wagering parlor at Orient Road and Hillsborough Avenue.

In November, the casino became the second Seminole casino to deal table card games.

There's a lot more these days than just blackjack and Texas hold'em poker. There's baccarat, mini-baccarat, pai gow poker, let-it-ride, three card poker and Asia poker, too.

There's a lot to learn: What does it mean to double down? What's insurance?

The classes run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and attendees must be 21. Participants get a free "Hit Me" T-shirt.

Instructors will teach the listed games at the top of each hour outside Pit 1, near the south garage entrance.
