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.

History of online gambling

November 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When you measure the time that online casinos have been around against the thousands of years that gambling has existed, it’s easy to understand why the online version is still considered to be in its infancy. The strides made in such a short time though have propelled the internet casino from child to legitimate contender for the gambling crown in a matter of years, and it’s interesting to look back at the short, yet storied history of the online casino.

It’s hard to believe that an industry that is now so huge began in the tiny island of Antigua in 1994. They passed a law that allowed it to issue gambling licenses, and the fledgling online casino operations hopped on board. Microgaming, who incidentally makes the casino software that powers Llanbikefest, were the first to open a fully operational online casino, which would prove to be just the first of many major developments in the casino industry that they would be responsible for.

That first casino offered games, but considerably less than the hundreds now available on PP. Despite that it became an instant hit with gamblers looking for a convenient way to play their favourite games. There were some initial worries about security and fairness, but that was taken care of in 2003 when eCogra, and independent organization charged with making sure that casinos followed a strict set of rules, was formed, and only those casinos considered the most safe and fair were given the eCogra seal of approval; of course, Llanbikefest is one of those select few.

Modern casinos now have the same sort of encryption security used by banks, and with revenues annually in the billions, it’s safe to say that the online casino has been embraced by the playing public and is here to stay.
Microgaming continues to be at the forefront of creating new games and rules that help make the online experience even better and safer for players from all over the world, and that’s just one more reason to make Llanbikefest your casino of choice.

Gambling in the UK

November 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There are a few countries that seem to have a real love affair going on with all things gambling, and without a doubt, the UK is one of them. You only have to set one foot inside any bookmakers (betting shop) to see that the number of betting options that are available to the regular punter far outweigh those of other countries.

As you might expect, football betting is huge, with all kinds of bets available for single games, including who will score the first goal and when it will happen. There are also the football pools, where players try to guess which games will end in a draw, with some pretty huge jackpots for those who can pull it off.

Also near the top of the favourites list for British gamblers is horse racing. The amount of racing info that shows up in the daily newspapers would probably come as a shock to horse player in the United States who have to buy a separate daily racing form to get their info.

It’s not just sports that are popular with UK gamblers, as they also have a love for pub slots, with a machine in just about every bar you go to, and bingo is really big too.

With so much gambling going on in the UK, it’s no real surprise that online casinos have become so popular with the locals. There is something to be said for being able to get your betting groove on 24/7/365, and the number of people signing up for online accounts grows every day. Llanbikefest has a little something for every UK gambler, and they can even play a few rounds of their beloved bingo, or have a spin on the pub slots without having to leave their house.

Earning Rewards Points

October 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

 

People have a multitude of options when it comes to laying out their hard earned cash, and in this current economy it’s no real surprise that people are looking for the best deal in everything they do. A good company realizes that the best way to keep their customers happy is to reward them for their loyalty, and give them a reason to keep coming back.

Llanbikefest understand this perfectly, and on top of a fabulous bonus to welcome new players through their doors, they also offer a rewards programme that lets their players know that they appreciate their continued loyalty to the Llanbikefest brand.

The best part of this rewards programme is that it doesn’t require any complicated sign-up process, or ask players to pay to be a part; all that is required is for new players to open a real money account, at which point they are put into the silver level and given 2500 points to start out with.

From that point on, every bet that is placed will add more points to the total at a rate of 1 loyalty point for every credit wagered on slot games , and 1 loyalty point for every 5 credits wagered on table games. Every 1000 points can be redeemed for 1 credit (5000 minimum). Players earn points and rewards can move higher through the levels; starting at silver and going all the way up to diamond.

The ability to earn points which can be turned into cash credits means that players will earn free bets, which in turn means that they get to play longer, with the opportunity to add to their bankroll along the way.
This is just one of the many ways in which Llanbikefest shows their respect for their players, and with a huge collection of slots and table games, it’s no surprise that PP are at the top of the online casino heap.

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.
