Tips for Playing Online Baccarat

August 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Baccarat has always seemed, to the outsider at least, a game for big money players with expensive suits and a bankroll larger than the gross national product of many small countries. The baccarat rooms are usually tucked away in private rooms, lit by chandeliers, with its invited patrons served high priced scotch by glorious looking servers; the perception is in fact the reality.

With baccarat now available in online casino’s, that velvet rope, secret society mentality has been lifted, and the average player can now get to sample the delights of this centuries old game without having to mortgage their home; you can actually now get in on the action with just a few quid in your gambling account.

That’s all well and good, but unless you have studied James Bond movies down the years, you may actually have no idea how the game is played. It’s actually pretty simple, and a few minutes of study will enable you to get the basics down pat. The game is broken down like this; 2 hands are dealt, the “banker” and the “player”, and then everyone bets on the outcome, which is decided by a points system. There are only three bets available, and those are banker, player and tie, so how about a little strategy to maximize your chances of winning?

You can easily eliminate one of those bets without giving it a second thought; the tie bet pays out well, but is the casino equivalent of buying a scratch ticket, and your chances of winning over the long haul are actually pretty slim, with the only real winner being the house. That leaves 2 bets, and most folks who have played the game regularly will tell you to pick one or the other and play it every hand. The house edge on these bets is usually a touch over 1%, with the nod going in the direction of the banker hand.

So, by process of elimination, the best chance of making a profit seems to lie in playing on the banker hand on every play, but if that’s not enough for you, then there are all manner of systems on the market, many of which involve a progressive betting style of approach. Test out your strategy by playing with a free account at your favorite online casino, and if you find one that works, get that few quid working in your favor.

Flash vs Download Casino

August 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Casino games are fast paced and exciting, a combination that fits perfectly into the hustle and bustle of today’s world. People want their entertainment delivered at record speeds, and it may be that, more than anything, which has made playing at online casinos such a popular pastime.

It’s not just the pace of the games that make the online version so appealing, it’s also how quickly you can be up and running and right in the thick of the betting action. Players have 2 different options when it comes to getting into online casinos, and the one they choose will most likely depend on where and when they like to play.

The first option is a flash based version, and this is one that will be very popular with casino players on the go. The flash casino gives instant access to the games, but not all of the games that the casino has to offer will be available in this version. If you are happy with the games carried here, and are someone who travels a lot, with little access to your home computer, then the flash alternative will probably be the one that best fits your needs.

Unlike flash, the downloadable version comes with all the bells and whistles, all the games, and usually more sophisticated graphics and sound. The plus side of the download version is full access to the casino, which means the opportunity to hit ALL the jackpots, but it also means that you will be restricted to playing on the computer where the software is downloaded. If you are a stay at home player that enjoys a wide variety of casino games, then this is the one I would recommend.

Either way, if you play at a reputable online casino like Llanbikefest, you can be sure that both versions will be top notch, and will offer you the best jackpots and action in the business.

The Many Advantages of Playing Online

August 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When it comes to heading out for a night at the casino, the lads have it much easier than us girls. All they have to do is stick on a nice shirt, splash on a little after shave and they are ready to roll. Not so for us ladies; we have to endure endless hours of hair and make-up, not to mention the tedious chore of choosing that one outfit that doesn’t make our butt look too big. That’s just one of the more vain reasons why I made the switch to Llanbikefest and the online gaming experience, but there are others, honestly.

Most people who ply their gambling trade online will tell you that convenience was the number one factor in their making the switch. Unless you live in a major city or large metropolitan area, the chances of a casino being in the immediate vicinity are pretty much zero, and no, the bookies doesn’t count as a casino. Playing online allows gamblers to find the time to play their favourite game whenever they feel like it, without having to make travel arrangements just to get in a hand of blackjack.

It’s not just the convenience, think about how many times you’ve had the urge to play, yet only have a couple of quid in your purse. Instead of making you wait for your next pay day, the online casinos have the option of playing for fun, and even though you won’t win any real cash, you’ll still have that couple of pounds available for important purchases like gin and shoes.

I’ve already mentioned the convenience, but Llanbikefest have taken that to a whole new level with a bunch of their games now available for download and play on your mobile phone. It’s now possible to hit that Mega Moolah progressive jackpot while waiting on the bus to take you to work, which in turn could mean no more bus and no more work. Oh how sweet that would be, but if you don’t play you can’t win, so stop waiting for that next big trip to the casino, and sign up at Llanbikefest today.

Now if you take a bit of fun from the slots and mix it with a dash of the thrill of video poker you will get… Reel Play Poker -Jacks or Better. This superb game at Llanbikefest Casino has an interactive 5-reel, 20 pay line video slot and has a hold button so players can easily deal their cards. You simply hit the deal button when you’re ready to bet, and then select your cards and spin.

The graphics in this game are really genuine and the 52 card deck really looks authentic since it resembles an actual deck of poker cards. The object of the game pretty much works like the game of poker where one has to make up winning combinations with their cards. The winning line or lowest hand that you will need in order to win is a pair of Jacks. As the name of the game itself states, you need a jack or better to win.

If you are a smart player and get a better hand then you will receive a staggering payout. For the masters of these games a Royal Flush would put a super huge smile on their face because it’s said to pay up to 8000 coins. The jackpots in this game are quite massive and are up to a $16000 payout in a single game. In my opinion it’s really a game of skill but with splendid rewards.

After playing this game I suddenly felt like I was a high roller who has been playing for years. It is quite fun to be able to play two games in one. Yet you get a thrill like you’re playing a completely new game. I think Reel Play Poker – Jacks or Better Video Poker Slot definitely gets the better of you. Try it out at Llanbikefest Casino.

Tips for playing Online Roulette

August 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Roulette is really an incredibly exciting game within the casino. Everytime I see a roulette wheel in a casino it is always surrounded by anxious players waiting to see where the ball lands. I tend to get very anxious as well even if I am not involved in the game. Online roulette is just as exciting as land based casino roulette.

Ok I am sure by now you know how the game works, you select various numbers out of 36 numbers and hope the number you select is the winning number. But there are methods to the game and some tips you should know.

In actual fact all the numbers have an equal possibility of winning in any given spin. Therefore this could mean that there is no given strategy to the game. However casinos do ensure they always have the upper hand and I will tell you a little secret, much of the odds are affected by the use of a single zero wheel. Often this wheel is called a European wheel but many online American casinos also use it.

Another fact to take into consideration is that the maximum and minimum betting differs from each online casino. Usually softer players simply love it when a roulette table offers you a minimum bet of $2 as opposed to $10. This means we can take our time and bet on more rounds with the cash we have.

Some casinos have certain betting rules, which may alter your chances of winning in some sort of way or the other. If you want to get ahead you should try to bet more on fewer spins, so if you win you are likely to win a large amount instead of a lousy few dollars. Betting with the flow is not the wisest option as the previous outcomes may not be the next possible winning numbers, but I think some gamers will beg to differ.

The single zero wheel is actually far better than the double zero, since chances of zero coming out is one in 36. Some players get tricked into the five number bet, but the truth is that it is quite senseless as the odds are very low.

Oh, another thing to remember is that whenever you are on a losing streak it’s smart to reduce your bet. If you ask me I think it’s actually really silly if one throws in all their chips when they are not winning.
Well if you feel all this doesn’t really work then trust your instinct and goodluck. We all have our on and off days of luck. But if you feeling somewhat lucky then take that luck with you to the roulette table. Chances are you won’t be disappointed.

Plaitnum Play casino winners

August 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The one exception to that rule seems to take place in the online casino industry, where, even though everyone knows there is a definite house edge, the most popular casinos rake in big bucks at our expense, but seem quite happy to share the times when they pay out large sums of cash to their lucky players.

This may seem to go against everything that would be in an ideal business model, but by advertising those big wins, the casino is letting other people know that there is money to be won inside their online gaming house.

Take a look at the front page of the Llanbikefest online casino, and you will see a scrolling list of big winners, all of them raking in numbers that would have the average gambler reaching for their wallet, just looking to match or better that winning amount, and that is exactly what the online boys are banking on. It’s somewhat reassuring for players to see those winnings and realize that they are dealing with an online casino that may talk a good game, but also backs that chatter up with some big money jackpots.

Using Entropay at Llanbikefest UK

August 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

 

Since the inception of gambling, there have always been those who struggle to keep their betting in check, which in turn leads to financial difficulties and debts that spiral quickly out of control.

 
One of the biggest knocks against the online casino industry was that the games would seem a little too much like, well, games, and not so much like the real thing. Those railing against the online casinos claimed that people, physically unable to see their cash being handed over would rack up huge credit card debts, and the reality of their situation wouldn’t sink in until it was much too late.

 
This is actually a genuine concern, but a lot of casinos have moved to nip that in the bud by accepting Entropay as one of their deposit options.

 
Quite simply, Entropay is a virtual pre-paid card that bears the Visa brand. The beauty is that you can only fill the card with your regular debit or credit card, and once that amount is used up, the fun is over.

 
This is a perfect way to be able to set limits on the amount you gamble and maintain it without going over; think of it as betting on a budget, and with the Visa name attached, you can bet it’s going to be secure, especially since its pre-paid, which means no personal information will have to be passed on other than the 16 digit card number.

 
Signing up for an EntroPay account is fast, free and easy, and can be done by heading over to their website. You can keep tracks of all the purchases you’ve made which are a huge help in keeping you inside your budget. I’m thinking of picking up two cards; one for my online casino funds and another to keep track of my shoes purchases….someone has to stop me.

You can use Entropay at Llanbikefest UK.

Progressive video poker

August 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Video poker has not been around that long, but the relatively new kid on the block has quickly become one of the biggest draws at both online and land based casinos. That may have been enough to have the casinos rest on their laurels, but they have upped the ante by now having a progressive jackpot version of video poker.

We’ve all seen those big screens with a number that we can’t even begin to comprehend, and we have all dreamed of hitting that one magical spin that would take the numbers off the screen and deposit them in our bank account.

I find those big screens to be somewhat hypnotic, and there are times when my eyes roll back into my head, and I get a little dizzy, or perhaps that’s just the effects of a few too many gin and tonics.

Whatever the reason, there is now no need to get all gussied up and head into the city for a night at the casino. The progressive video poker machines have hit the online casino market, and the good folks at Llanbikefest have a cracker lined up on their site, and the more people who get on there and play, the higher that jackpot climbs.

This is what every player wants, but many see the fact that there could be thousands going after the prize at the same time as a bit of a downer, but I believe it to be the opposite. Going after that progressive jackpot is like a race against time, and in my mind, those other people are just lining my pockets with their gold. That thought gets my head spinning again, and as I look down while writing, I see that there is no empty G & T glasses in front of me, so it must actually be the real excitement of the Llanbikefest progressives.

Latest gambling News In UK

August 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

 

The British tabloids have been plastered with headlines concerning the bout of street riots going on in many of Great Britain’s major cities. With that in mind, news of every other sort had sort of taken a back seat, except of course for football news, with the Premier League starting up last weekend. It took a little bit of searching, but I was able to find a couple of gambling related stories that took place in the UK over the past few weeks.

Betfair is one of Britain’s top online gambling sites, and has been at the top of the gaming heap since its arrival online in 2000. When they finally decided to go public, Betfair started out fine, but has since struggled to convince investors that they are worth their initial 1.4 billion pound value. The floatation has since turned into a debacle, and it only got worse when two of Betfair’s outgoing executives David Yu and Stephen Morana were given huge pay raises. It’s now unsure whether anyone believes the online gambling site is a good bet.

Las Vegas casino site caesarsbingo.com was left a little red faced when, courtesy of a mathematical computer glitch; it was forced to pay out thousands of pounds to a bunch of British bingo players. The error came when the site made the costly mistake of allowing users to amass real money using their deposit bonuses, which they then promptly cashed out. Word spread quickly among online players, and pretty soon the amount being paid out added up very quickly.

The error has now been fixed with Caesars saying they will allow some users to keep their winning if they earned it because of computer error, but other users, particularly those who spread the word about the mistake, have had their accounts suspended pending investigation. This is why, when you sign up at an online casino, you have to be sure to read the small print; sometimes when something seems too good to be true, it really is.
