12 Quick Tips to Win at Slots

♠ November 30th, 2008 by ♣ admin

The glitter, the lights, the clang of coins, the ringing of bells, all part of the magic of casinos. And no windows to distract you from putting in your money. Most casinos today are using paper vouchers instead of coins. Why? Because it’s faster, more efficient and lets you move more quickly between machines, which means your money leaves your hand faster. But it doesn’t mean the money’s gone forever. Here are some tips to help you leave the casino with money in your wallet.

1. Before you leave home, decide how much money you can afford to lose and take that amount with you. No extras, no credit cards, no ATM cards.

2. Get yourself a player’s card. The casino awards you points for playing and these can be used to get cashback or comps (complimentary meals, etc.).

3. Inside the casino, take a look to see what machines are being played. Chances are these are the machines that are a little “looser”. “Looser” simply means that certain machines are set to pay out at a higher percentage than others.

4. Try the machines at the end of the aisles. Quite often this is the location of the higher paying percentage slots.

5. The more exciting games are those with multi-lines, multi-payouts. There are bonus rounds which come up once in a while. Usually, these are 1, 2 or 5 cent machines. The odds of winning on a 1 or 2 cent machine are significantly less than if you play a higher denomination. Play the highest denomination your budget can afford. One line, three max bet machines usually have a higher payout.

6. Look at the payouts shown on the top or bottom of the machine. This will give you an idea of how much you should bet.

7. Cover all the lines if it is a multi-line machine.

8. If the machine you select does not give you a hit within four spins, move on.

9. If you have won a little on a machine, but it has started not paying, move on. The random number generator has probably gone into a no-win cycle.

10. Don’t be in a hurry to hit the Play button or pull the lever. The machine isn’t going to run away, and you can stretch your money a little further by playing more slowly.

11. Unless the machine is still hitting, move on once you have doubled (or more) your money. Put that money aside and play only with the original amount that you decided you could afford to lose.

12. Don’t stay too long. The longer you stay, the greater the odds that you will give all your winnings back to the casino.

Despite the fact that casinos are built on losers not winners, you can tilt the odds in your favor if you follow your guidelines. Enjoy your game!

How to Become a Successful Poker Player

♠ November 29th, 2008 by ♣ admin

Discipline

If there was one word that summed up the good poker players of the world, that word is discipline. Good poker players have the discipline to wait for good hands and not play bad ones just because they are bored. Good poker players have the discipline to know when to fold a hand. Good poker players have enough discipline that they can overcome the emotional hurdles that every poker player gets. Good poker players also have the discipline to constantly work towards improvement.

Every one of the things discussed above is a factor of major importance in becoming a successful poker player. This is true for both online poker and its conventional offline counterpart. Therefore, if you want to become a successful poker player, you are going to need to hone your discipline to the point where it is easily your strongest quality. While this might not seem necessary to some, please understand that it is the single most important thing that you can do along the road to becoming a successful poker player.

Study

In addition to maintaining discipline in all of the things you do in online poker, becoming a successful poker player also involves study. You are never going to get better unless you go back and analyze what you have done. This is extremely easy to do in online poker because all of the websites provide you with hand histories that you can comb over to see what you did right, what you did wrong and what was somewhat in between. Studying is one of the most important things that successful poker players do. You will notice that most successful poker players have excellent memories of past hands and this is primarily because they went back and studied those hands in detail.

Practice

Even the most studious poker player will not become successful until they start applying what they learn through study. It is one thing to know that Q-10 is a terrible hand in early position, but it is quite another thing entirely to actually have the discipline to fold that hand when you haven’t seen anything good in two rounds of the table. Likewise, it is one thing to know that you tend to chase flushes when the pot odds are against you, but it is quite another thing to actually fold that four flush on the flop to one bet instead of stubbornly pushing through. Application of your study in practice is the thing that will ultimately make you the successful poker player you want to be.

The Machines Are Getting Tighter - But Does Anyone Really Care?

♠ November 25th, 2008 by ♣ admin

Casinos have managed to dramatically increase their slot revenues as the number of customers has dropped, by tightening their return percentage. (Pay out percentages of each machine). As the economic slump deepens, casinos are finding a way to increase revenues in the face of decreasing attendance - tighten the payouts on their slot machines.

Tighter slots, which return less money to the players, can generate more cash for the casino, based on the same amount of money bet.

It seems to me like the slots are tighter and the newest slots - penny, two-cent and nickel denomination machines are by far the worst .They mimic video games with their interactive touch screens, TV like monitors and trendy themes such as, Monopoly , and the Wheel of Fortune.

Other features designed to lure players are bonus rounds in which players can win extra cash, and a higher hit frequency which pays out frequent, but smaller, awards to the player. The influx of tighter penny slots has dramatically reduced the payback percentage to an all-time low. Nonetheless, players continue to flock to the newer, though tighter, machines.

The casinos, slot parlors and racinos are laughing at all who play the machines. They tighten all the machine up so they can make up for the amount of lost revenues due to the slow economy .I’m sure they are saying to themselves, if the players don’t walk away from the machines, when we tighten the pay back, then don’t expect the casinos to loosen them any time soon. Casinos are a business and obviously their interests are maximum profits.

Remember, you are at the casino to have fun, slot play should be fun. If you lose interest or get bored, cash out, there is always another day. The casinos and the slot machine will be there waiting for you believe me. No sense in rushing back.

Free Roll Tournament Winners - Why Play For Cash?

♠ November 24th, 2008 by ♣ admin

If those of you out there winning or even placing highly in Free Roll tournaments are questioning moving into real cash tournaments, don’t question any longer, your skills are ready.

Free Roll tournaments are naturally more volatile then real money tournaments for one reason, there is no risk to the players. If you go all-in and lose, you don’t lose a penny. If you are consistently finishing in the top 10 percent of players entering these tournaments, you are playing some pretty good poker. The fact is you are dodging a lot more bullets then you would in a real money tournament. Although luck plays a part in all tournament poker, it’s the consistency factor that you want to really look at. You couldn’t be doing this consistently simply on dumb luck.

Try playing in a $5 or $10 multi-table tournament and see how you stack up. You’ve probably won at least this amount in free roll money if you’ve placed highly. The return in entering a real money tournament is so much higher for your time spent playing. You can potentially win thousands for placing top 3 in a multi-table tournament with a few hundred participants. The great part about these tournaments as well is normally a placement in the top 10% will always get you your entry fee back.

We’re not trying to take away from the importance of practice in a free environment, this is a great trial ground for your strategy and for knowledge of the game, but you’ll never truly understand the dynamics of poker unless there is true risk involved and true value involved in placing highly. If you’re only playing poker to have fun, then why not play for fun and win a little money while you’re at it.

Best Online Roulette - Where to Play Fair Roulette

♠ November 22nd, 2008 by ♣ admin

 If you’re looking for the best online roulette game, don’t do what I did first time I played online !  What happened - well basically I managed to find one of the very few crooked casinos on the internet.  Let me tell you it was not an enjoyable experience and luckily I figured out what was going on before I lost too much money.   The damage was about $400 but much more to my pride.

Let me explain what happened just so you might be able to avoid the same situation.  I came in from a pleasant evening out and sat down at my computer looking for a decent online roulette game.  It’s a game I always find fun and it doesn’t require too much concentration if you don’t fancy something with a little more skill.  Well I did a few checks and came across a casino that looked pretty good and it was offering a rather tempting 400% bonus on my first deposit.

I figured I could get some fun for that amount of money at the very least and with a reasonable amount of luck should be able to turn a nice profit.  So I checked out the free game and made sure it was a European roulette wheel (which has a single zero and much better odds for you), the game even has La Partage so the odds were even better.  I played for about half an hour on the free game and won loads of virtual cash - not wanting to waste my winning streak I quickly made a deposit and collected my bonus stake and started playing.

Things started quite well, I was quite enjoying the game, the software wasn’t too good but I’d played on worst.  I then started to lose a little so started to change my betting strategy and switch to some simpler outside bets.   As the game went on  I was losing quite a bit of money and was getting increasingly suspicious about the spins.  Now I know enough about odds that you can get some extremely strange patterns and distributions on roulette wheels - which is why Martingale system is a very bad idea, however sometimes you just get the impression something is not quite right.

When you’ve played as much roulette as I have you can usually sense when your luck is against you, but at this online casino I felt it was more than luck.  I cashed and did some research, after going through a few new group posts and picking up a trail on ‘ wizardofodds.com’ I found a few posts also suggesting I had found something that could not be described as the best online roulette but more crooked online roulette.

I had managed to find a rigged online casino, I should have guessed when I was winning too much in the free casino - always a bad sign when someone is prepare to twist the odds to draw you in.   Fortunately this particular casino has been closed down and if you stick to big name roulette games then you are perfectly safe.   I have been put off casino generated wheels now though and my best online roulette games are on real roulette wheels in a real casino.

My favourite casino is a real time game set in a casino in Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin. You play a real game in a real casino alongside all the other punters. Even the free game is wonderful fun as you can see all the other players and their bets - to try it click here -

How I Won Over $1,800 Playing Online Roulette in Only One Week!

♠ November 21st, 2008 by ♣ admin

My Favorite Winning Strategy

My favorite winning strategy involves betting on the 1 to 1 bets (bet 1, win 1). These bets are red, black, even, odd, “1 to 18″, “19 to 36″.

They are all variations on betting half of the board (excluding the zero). Whether you want the red or black half of the colors, the first or second half of the numbers, or the odd or even numbers, it’s still just half the board… minus the zero.

For example, I like to bet “1 to 18″ over and over. I don’t bother to bet on something different as they all have the same chances. I just like that bet. My base bet is one chip (the dollar value doesn’t matter right now). If I lose, I’ll bet two chips next time. If I lose again, I’ll bet four chips next time… and so on. Doubling every time can be dangerous, though, as very quickly you’ll get into ridiculously high numbers that you likely won’t be able to afford. Here is quick look at how doubling your last bet can get out of hand: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096…

So how can you win with this betting strategy? Knowing when to cut your losses and get back to winning. I stop at 16. At that point, I feel the slippery slope becomes too slippery and too slopey… you know what I mean. If I get to the point where I bet 16 and win, I go back to betting just one chip. If I lose, I still go back to betting just one chip. For easy reference and to see the strategy in action, be sure to watch the video here on YouTube.

I’d also suggest before you actually put down your own money, try it for free. Visit my blog for details regarding which online casinos are best to play at. Some offer you larger incentives to play and others just plain pay out more. All of them will have a free version of their games… in other words, there’s nothing to download and you can just play for fun.
