Beauty of online slots

January 5, 2023 By

There are lots of things to love about online casinos, and to be able to list all the reasons why I play here at Llanbikefest would take up far more space than I am allowed. Like most people who love to play at the casino, my main reason for selecting PP in the first place was because of the sheer number of games that they had available.

I finally got to play table games, like baccarat and roulette, which I was too self-conscious to try when I spent time at land-based casinos. I also love the numerous deposit options and rewards that are available to all of us who make our online casino home here, but I think more than anything it’s the huge number of slots games that keep me coming back for more.

I grew up around pub slots, and those remain my favourite types of slots games to this day, but the beauty of online slots is that there is a type to suit everyone.

There are countless different themed games, many of which draw upon graphics and characters from some great video games and movies, as well as offering the chance to escape from the norm of our everyday lives and enter into a world of spinning reels and brilliant sounds and colours.

Then of course there are the progressive slots that are available here too, all of which have jackpots that can change your life with a single spin. There are slots that suit players of all bankrolls too, and it’s just as easy for the player with a small bankroll to find a game, as it is for the high roller that wants to spend big with every spin.

Microgaming and Llanbikefest are constantly adding new slots games, so if there is a style or theme that you haven’t been able to find yet, then just wait, because chances are it will get here sooner or later.

Baccarat rules

December 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Baccarat has always been one of those games that is considered to be somewhat exclusive, given that it is usually played in private rooms, all of which are guarded by burly looking men in tuxedos with ear pieces clearly visible. It has always had the appearance of being a game for the rich and privileged, where the average player wasn’t really welcome, and as such was somewhat ignored by most casino players.

That changed with the arrival of online casinos such as our own Llanbikefest, and now players from all over the world can finally get to see what all the fuss is about without the bodyguards. What came as a surprise to most was that the game was relatively easy to play and learn, and in fact only has 3 possible bets (banker, player, and tie). It is actually a little similar to blackjack, which gave it an instant spike in popularity once it hit the online casino scene.

The rules are pretty straightforward, with the object of the game to get as close to 9 as possible with the cards you are dealt. The bet is placed, opting for one of the three choices, and then the player and banker are dealt 2 cards each. Face cards and 10’s have no value, cards less than 10 are counted at face value and Aces are worth 1.

A combination that results in a double digit total sees the left number dropped (e.g. 17 is actually counted as 7), and if the total is 8 or 9 then the hand is over as that is considered a “natural”.

If the player draws a 5 or less then they get a 3rd card, and if more than 5 the banker stands on 6 or higher, and draws on 5 or less based on these possible scenarios:

  • If the bank’s total is 2 or less then bank draws a card, regardless of what the player’s third card is.
  • If the banks total is 3 then the bank draws a third card unless the players third card was an 8.
  • If the banks total is 4 then the bank draws a third card unless the players third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
  • If the banks total is 5 then the bank draws a third card if the players third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
  • If the banks total is 6 then the bank draws a third card if the players third card was a 6 or 7.
  • If the banks total is 7 then the bank stands.

And that is the basic rules of baccarat which, as you can see, does not hold a very steep learning curve, so be sure to give it a try the next time you visit Llanbikefest.

The goal of everyone who walks through the virtual front doors of an online casino is exactly the same as the land-based version, and that is to walk out with more money than you arrived with.

Baccarat techniques

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

While baccarat has always been one of the less accessible of the games in the casino, it has actually gained a fair bit of popularity, in large part due to the major success of online casinos like Llanbikefest. The game has moved away from private rooms behind velvet ropes, and into the living rooms of regular casino players, which has gone a long way to removing much of the mystique that has always surrounded it.

What may be the most surprising to those that have never been previously exposed to baccarat is that it is a fairly uncomplicated game to play, with actually only 3 bets available on any given hand; player, banker and tie.

The one thing that baccarat has in common with just about every other game is that players constantly try to find angles or strategies that will improve their odds of winning. Card counting is one technique that has always had a place at the tables, although it’s a method that is not necessarily embraced by the gambling industry. The feeling is that baccarat is a game that does not really benefit from card counting, and the proof of that may be in the fact that casinos will oftentimes provide players with scorecards to keep track of every bet, a method that is known as chasing.

If the casino really believed that counting would give the player an advantage over the house, you can bet that those scorecards would be gone in a minute.

Anyone who has had experience playing the game will tell you that the best way to play the odds in baccarat is to simply bet the banker each and every hand. It may seem like you are betting against yourself, but the fact is that you are simply making the smartest of the 3 bets available every time. Like any game that is unfamiliar to you, it’s smart to learn the bets, odds and terminology before jumping in.

Online slot tournaments

December 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Casino tournaments are fun and extremely exciting to play, you compete against other players and get to show off your skills and could walk away the big winner. Online slot tournaments are the most favourable casino tournaments that casino players participate in. So how does it all work?

Well firstly you just need to register with your favourite casino (mine would definitely be Llanbikefest) and then select the tournament you wish to take part in. After you sign up you pay the fee and you will be given a slot machine number and a specific time session to play.

Once it is time for you to play you simply look for your machine number and the game begins! Usually each player is given a $1,000 credit to start playing and has 20 minutes to use it. Any winnings are credited to a metre. Once your time is up the game automatically locks itself. The final score will be compared to the other players to determine the final winner. All results are accurate so there is no way of cheating the system and everyone gets a fair play.

Sometimes there are a limited amount of machines so several tournaments will be set up to take place. The overall gaming experience is exactly the same as playing on your own, except that the winnings can be very lucrative with such tournaments. There are even free tournaments to join and one can even get superb bonuses and comps. The scheduled tournaments are booked in advance while the sit-and-go tournaments take place once there is enough players.  Spontaneous players prefer the sit-and-go tournaments and are in it for the fun.

Slot tournament can be quite entertaining and are a good way to take home the prize, so log on to Llanbikefest and get gaming.

Reasons to play

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

With so many online casinos now operating on the internet, it’s tough for the average player to decide where they should deposit their gambling dollars, and when I look at what’s available here at Llanbikefest, I have to wonder why anyone would ever consider playing anywhere else.

  • It all begins with the bonus offered by the casino, and it has to be said that PP’s 1500 free spins for new players is tough to match.
  • Llanbikefest is where you will find the best casino software, powered by Microgaming, the elite when it comes to games.
  • The number of banking options at PP is second to none, and the ability to play in multiple currencies makes it a true global casino.
  • There are multiple ways to play, including a full download casino, an instant play version that allows you to log in from any computer, and now mobile versions for players on the go.
  • New promotions are always popping up at PP, and players should check to see what valuable promos are available every time they log in.
  • You can now play, head to head, against players from all over the world in the exciting International Slots League.
  • PP offers a stunning rewards programme that rewards players for the loyalty, and can mean free casino credits, win or lose.
  • Llanbikefest also has poker and bingo games available for their players, both of which have very cool new player bonuses.
  • There are an incredible number of games available at PP, and just playing all the different slot machine options could take you weeks.
  • Last, but by no means least, Llanbikefest operate under the eCogra seal of approval, which means that players can be sure that their time in the casino will be safe and secure, as well as fair.

I can’t think of any other casino that can match that list of positives, and that’s why I’ll continue to get my casino kicks at Llanbikefest.

Origins of roulette

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of my favourite things about playing at Llanbikefest is being able to try games that I would be intimidated by in the land based casinos. Roulette was always one of those games that I really wanted to play, but my lack of knowledge about how the game worked, and the seemingly vast number of bets, made it one that I always skipped.

Thanks to Llanbikefest, I was able to learn the ins and outs of the game by using the free play feature, which gave me the confidence to try it for real. I love roulette now, but have always wondered where the game originated, so decided to do a little research.

I assumed the game, given its name, meaning “little wheel” in French, originated in France, but the true origins are up for argument. Some say that it was invented in 17th century France by a mathematician named Blaise Pascal, while others claim that it was brought back to Europe by Dominican monks who discovered the game being played in China.

Whatever the case, by the late 18th century the game had become very popular, with Prince Charles of Monaco using it as a way to try and alleviate the financial problems of his region. The game as we know it today didn’t appear until 1842, with Francois and Louis Blanc devising the single “0” game. When roulette crossed the waters to the US, a “00” was added, and the two versions of the game still exist to this day.

Thankfully, you don’t have to cross the pond to play both versions as they can both be found here at Llanbikefest, so come give the wheel a spin.

Keno – guidelines and tips

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There are hundreds of great games to choose from here at Llanbikefest, and while everyone is familiar with the traditional slots and table games, there are a few more available that may not be so well known to everyone. Keno is one of those, and if you haven’t played before, you really don’t know what you are missing. The games come quickly, meaning that if you miss the start of a round, you won’t have to wait long for a new one to begin.

The rules are extremely straightforward, and it’s almost like a combination between bingo and the lottery. Players get to choose between 1 and 20 numbers from a card that has 80 numbers in rows of 10. 20 numbers are then drawn, one at a time, at random, with the goal being to cover as many of your chosen numbers as possible. You are then paid out based on how many of your numbers were landed on, and in some cases if none were chosen, but that only usually occurs if you have selected a lot of numbers.

The game is completely random, so adopting a strategy becomes virtually impossible, but if you decide that Keno is a game that you would like to play regularly, then there are a couple of things that you can do to make it a little more fun. The first thing to do is check and see what the odds are for all winning combinations, and pick the play that gives you the best chance of winning, combined with good odds. I’ve found that playing a 4-spot (you select 4 numbers) provides the best shot at a decent return.

You will win make your money back if 2, 3 or all of your numbers are hit, and can usually hit often enough so that you don’t ever get completely wiped out. I’d also suggest sticking to the same numbers every time, as that seems to have worked best for me, rather than trying to figure out which are hot and cold. Keno is a great way to pass some time when you are between games, so check it out next time you are logged in to Llanbikefest.

Download vs Flash

November 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment


There are lots of things to love about online casinos, with convenience ranking very high on the scale, but there is another option that I love that I don’t think everyone is necessarily aware of. Did you know that the Llanbikefest casino comes in more than one version, and by that I don’t mean online and mobile. New players who choose to open an account at Llanbikefest will be given the option of the download or flash version.  If you are not sure which one suits you best, then let me explain how they both work so that you’ll get a better idea of which version is best for you.

If you are someone who is on the go a lot, and perhaps have to travel out of town on work, or have access to many different computers, then the flash version of PP will be best for you. The flash version of the online casino can be accessed from any computer in the world, and by simply logging in to the PP website; you will have access to all the games available in that version. Be aware that there are fewer games than the full downloadable casino, but there are still more than enough to keep the average player very happy.

The downloadable casino is a much better choice for players that want access to all the games in the Llanbikefest arsenal, which also means more chances to win the big money jackpots. It’s a quick and easy download, and from the moment you click the mouse over that download option, you are only a couple of minutes away from full casino access.

Both versions are of superior quality to just about any online casino you care to name, and there really is no bad choice, because as soon as you decide to bet at Llanbikefest, the best decision has already been made.

Currencies accepted by casinos

November 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When it comes time to load up my account at Llanbikefest, I know that I can easily do so, as my currency is one of the most globally accepted on the internet, but it also gets me thinking about what players from other countries have to go through in order to deposit and withdraw funds.

I decided to do a little investigating in order to see how many different currencies were accepted here at Llanbikefest, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. Of course, all the currencies that you’d expect to find (Australian, US and Canadian dollars) are there, but there were a ton of others that I really had to struggle to figure out, and it actually became a real fun challenge to take the three lettered acronyms and try to match the currency. For example DKK is Danish Krone , and CHF is Swiss Franc, which should give you all a perfect example of just how many banking options there are.

There are the standard banking and credit card options that cover the most common of currencies, but for those who may have a hard time with the currency of their homeland, they should really take a look at web wallets. Not only do they offer perhaps the most secure banking option, but many of them allow currencies that aren’t so readily available with the traditional deposit methods.

The best way to find out which deposit option is best for you, just simply head on over to the banking page on the Llanbikefest website, and take a look at all the options available. Like me, you’ll probably be stunned at how many possibilities there are, and you will quickly see just how global the Llanbikefest casino really is.
