Enjoying offline casinos
09 September 2010
Most large towns have a casino, and for a first visit, these local establishments can be fun, though you must bear in mind the expectations of the proprietors as to your behaviour. Unlike Online gambling, where you can play in jeans, dressing gown or even in the raw, most casinos require you to acknowledge the speciality of the occasion by making an effort with your appearance. Frivolity aside part of the fun in going to an offline casino is to see and be seen by other people, engage, interact, and hopefully win against other players.
Something to remember about real world gambling is that other gamblers can see you AND they can see your reactions, so for card games you really should work on your poker face and on spotting the ‘tells’ in other players or you may find your experience very short and embarrassing.

Take Advantage of Free Casino Games
31 December 2009

The majority of people who come across references to online casinos and gambling online want to try it out. What is more, finding and registering at an online casino is a very easy and simple process. However, the problem lies in the fact that these first time gamblers do not understand the rules, procedures and strategies of online casino games. As a beginner, you could always find a book or articles on the web but these will only help you up to a certain level. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and you’ll only really gain the knowledge of online gambling if you actually play. But it is important to remember that if you start betting with real money right from the start you will no doubt lose heavily and are more than likely to just give up, and effectively online casinos will lose potential customers.
As such in the interest of the online casinos and the novice players, casinos create free casino games. The gamblers do have to sign up before they can choose the free games option, but once they are registered they can select the free casino game they want and will receive a certain amount of credits to use. Unfortunately for the new players these credits are worthless and cannot be cashed, but if they do lose all of them they can simply restart the game and will get a new set of credits.

The Best Way to Play Progressive Slot Machines
04 November 2009
In both offline and online casinos, slot machines have become a popular way to gamble. One of the true dream makers of slot machines is the progressive slot jackpots, where you can choose from an array of life-changing jackpot games. The live jackpot tickers let you easily see how much you win if you hit the winning combination.
With every coin played, the value of the jackpot increases by a tiny proportion and as a general rule, only the players betting maximum credits per spin will be eligible for an attempt to win the top prize. Regardless of the number of credits per play, all the players contribute to the jackpot. Therefore, if you bet with less than the maximum number of coins required you are contributing to the progressive jackpot without ever having a chance of actually winning it. So remember to never play with less than the maximum number of credits to qualify for the jackpot. If you are trying to stretch your gambling session and want to play one coin at a time then it is best not to play progressive slot machines.
Whether you’re playing at an online casino or in Las Vegas, it is every slot players dream to hit one of the huge progressive jackpots. In fact, the odds for winning a progressive jackpot are actually much better than those for winning the lottery. If you want to go after the big prize it is not a good idea to bet everything you have, but use a portion of your gambling money now and then to chase that progressive jackpot.

What is a video poker machine and how does it work?
26 May 2008
When humans began to revolutionize machinery, video poker machines weren’t high on their list. Yet since they’ve been around, these machines have grossed billions upon billions of dollars, and have become some of the most popular items in various shops and casinos.
Video poker machines work by using a random number generator (RNG), which is a software algorithm used to ensure a random outcome of game play. Though not all RNG’s operate the same, they all offer completely random numbers, with billions of variants. When the machine isn’t in action, the RNG runs hundreds of times per second.

Where and when was roulette invented?
24 May 2008
The ball rotates along the circumference of a titled circular surface until it eventually stops and falls into a colored numbered pocket on the wheel. The number of slots in the wheel depends on where you play roulette. If you’re playing in Europe, the wheel only has 37 slots, in America, it has 38.
All players may choose to place bets on a number to win, the color of the pocket, or whether the number will be odd or even. For the most part, the design is universally the same and the betting structure remains in tact.
