Online slots machines

The internet is a medium that offers new opportunities for casino gaming, especially slot gaming. Because slots are traditionally one player games with no dealer, people are realizing the internet is a perfect place to play slots. Big software companies have picked up on this trend and are coming up with new and interesting twists on slot gaming.

Internet Slot Machine Games

The games online are just as complex as any found on a casino floor – often very popular games can be found both online and in the casino, and the online versions can feature flashy lights and sound effects as well or better than their more physical counterparts. Mainly, players online notice a difference in “atmosphere”. In Las Vegas, for example, the casinos are mostly massive hotel-casinio-spa complexes studded with chandeliers, large statues, colored fountains and the like.

These flashy architectural features are things you won’t find in the internet casino. On the other hand, traditional bricks and mortar casinos are loud places with smoky carpet, kids running untamed, and the distraction of women in bikinis. Besides maybe the bikinis, this slot player personally doesn’t miss the crowded casino.

Interactive Casino Features

Whenever I play online slots, I take advantage of the chat and forum features, that way I get the feel of community – another thing you won’t find in the casino. I suppose the main benefit of playing online is the money you save skipping the hotel and the round-trip ticket. Now you can play your favorite slot games without even standing up. (And often the casino’s advantage on some of these is actually lower than at a land-based casino, because of the lower overhead.) I highly recommend you to visit no deposit free spins slotscalendar page were you will be able to get free spins from some of the most popular online casinos and test the games before deciding on making your first deposit and playing for real money.

Here are some of the major companies producing online slots.

RTG Slot Machines

Realtime Gaming, or RTG, is widely acknowledged as a leader in online slots. Realtime Gaming software was incorporated in 1998, well before the massive influx of upstart companies in the early and middle part of this decade. Every software company on this list will have both good and bad features, but with RTG it is difficult to find a flaw.

This company’s random number generator system has won the company accolades for fairness and the company flaunts the name and contact info of their independent auditor. This is an important feature for serious online gamers who may be dealing in large amounts of money. In fact, I would think anyone who plays any amount of money online is concerned about security.

Card Counting In Blackjack

By Martin

It’s misunderstood by the general public, vilified by the casinos who consider it cheating, and absolutely necessary for professional blackjack players. Counting cards in blackjack is a skill, and this is what it entails:

Card counting represents an attempt by a blackjack player to follow what cards are no longer in play, and to thereby assess the value of the other cards that remain in the deck. These cards are still to come out of the shoe, and a professional blackjack player has a general idea as to whether those remaining cards will help or hinder him.

On a very basic level, the more high cards (Tens and Aces) left in the deck the better the odds are for the player winning. The more low cards (Twos through Sixes) left in the deck the worse the odds are for the player and the better they become for the blackjack dealer. [Read more…] about Card Counting In Blackjack

Responsible Online Gambling Bankroll Management

By Martin

The most important thing in managing money when gambling online is to clearly understand one’s goals and aspirations.

Do you want to clinically play a system to try and grind out regular winnings, or do you enjoy the adrenaline rush of placing some gutsy bets more than any other aspect of the game?

Do you want to try and make as much money as possible, or do you just want to make sure that you always have a reasonable amount in your bankroll with which to have some fun?

Each approach will have implications for how you approach money management, and it is vital to be completely honest with yourself at the outset so that you can play and manage your bankroll appropriately. Of course this decision is also informed by how good you are, and you need to be just as honest about that. The golden rule of managing your gambling bankroll, if there is one, is to keep your gambling bankroll strictly separated from your other funds, that you would use for living expenses.

Alice in Wonderland Slot Review

By Martin

There are hundreds of online slots available to play in online casinos and lots of them are based on movies. If you enjoy playing online slots based on movies you may love the Alice in Wonderland slot machine. The slot machine is based on the movie and many of the symbols will bring back memories from the movie including several characters. The Alice in Wonderland slot is jam packed with lots of features including free spins, bonuses and a progressive jackpot.

The Alice in Wonderland slot has 20 paylines and 5 reels and we recommend playing all 20 paylines for the best shot at winning money while playing this online slot. You have a wide range of betting options on the Alice in Wonderland slot, as players are allowed to bet $.05 – $10 per payline. If you play all 20 paylines the minimum bet per spin is $1 and the maximum bet per spin is $200, which is absolutely insane. [Read more…] about Alice in Wonderland Slot Review

3 Quirky Bingo promotions that inspired us

By Martin

The world of online bingo is ever expanding, with new bingo sites emerging every week bringing the total count to somewhere over 300!

Unfortunately, from a player’s point of view, this rapid rise in the number of sites hasn’t been met with an increase in the amount of exciting new bingo propositions. It’s pretty fair to say that out of those 300 or so sites, about 290 are pretty much exactly the same thing with a different logo stuck on.

After all bingo is bingo, right? True, there is only so much you can do with the game to make it exciting and if you do anything drastically different, you’ve probably created something that isn’t bingo.

Below are a couple of examples of the sorts of promotions that some bingo sites have ran in order to make life a little more exciting.

Our Top 3 Bingo Promotions:

Loo Roll Rocket!

The first promotion belongs to one of our favourite bingo sites, the promotion is called ‘Loo Roll Rocket’, what’s that got to do with bingo sites, you may ask?

The Loo Roll Rocket contest was run via Rocket Bingo’s Facebook page, players and FB fans were asked to cobble together a rocket out of loo rolls, then once complete they were requested to upload the photo to FB. Part of the fun was that the creator (or a pet) had to appear in the photo with the rocket. This made the images very shareable on FB.

The competition was judged independently and the winner was awarded an Ipod, there were several runners up prizes too, including a copy of Elton John’s Rocket Man album – genius.

As you can see from the images below, people really got into the promotion:

The Tidy Cupboard

This is a promotion that was launched by Tidy Bingo. The Tidy Cupboard is a special stand-alone bingo room where players meet for a series of unusual chat games and fun.

The cupboard is a great promotion because it makes Tidy unique from the other sites on the network and gives players a good chance to get acquainted with the people who run the site, given that Nicki, the site manager hosts one of the sessions.

Pimp My Pumpkin

Similar in style to our number 1 promotion and also from Rocket Bingo is our 3^rd favourite promotion, Pimp my Pumpkin.

For this promo the bingo site asked players to carve a pumpkin for Halloween, the twist was that it had to be in the style of Rocket Bingo. For novices, templates were provided, but for those with the creativity and confidence their task was to create a unique design!

Again this competition was posted on FB and that’s where the entries were published. As you can see below, again people really got stuck in:

So there you have it, our top three bingo promotions that prove that bingo sites can have personality! Keep your eyes open for more quirky bingo promotions, they’re few and far between!
