bets against the house or non-banking bets
Margarita is right about "bets against the house", but in a regulatory context "apuestas cruzadas" are "non'banking bets".
Nonbanking games are games where the players play only against each other instead of against the house.

Action Jack is played like blackjack but in a non-banking format. According to the materials submitted, the gaming operation generates revenue by charging the players an hourly rate, by collecting an ante per hand, or by collecting a percentage of each pot. Play begins with each player placing a bet.

This is assuming that the regulations apply to casino-style games; bets of this type on horse-racing or other sports are "pari-mutuel bets".
