Rules and games to play on a Casino 301 dartboard

 

Casino 301 Dartboard

The Winmau Casino 301 Dartboard is no longer made however you can still find a few on eBay and other auction websites. The board may not be for all however if you want something different then here it is!

I have reproduced the rules for the games that can be played on the Casino board because more often than not the rules are missing on second hand purchases. Who knows maybe one day the dartboard will come back in popularity.

Although there have been several different types of card game dartboards made, this one is the most iconic. However, dartboard variations like this one never really took off in a big way. Hence their disappearance from general sale. Some of the regional dartboards, the Manchester Log-end, the Yorkshire, the London and Ipswich 5’s dartboards are still made today and local leagues are still running (2018).

The Casino 301 dartboard is basically a standard dartboard. i.e. the numbers and segments are the same so the board can be used as a standard dartboard for other games. You could, of course, convert your own standard dartboard into a casino dartboard.
