It’s all in the game

It's all in the game

Ok so let’s be honest, a newbie to the world of casino games could feel a little intimidated with the amount of choice on offer.

With online casinos such like here at Llanbikefest UK, there are over 500 games to choose from.

Wow!

Where do you start, how do you play some of the games, which ones are the best to win some serious cash on?

It really can be a daunting thing to try choose between all the games.

So now, take a deep breath, grab a pint, sit back and let me explain some of the games to you. And hopefully this will shed some light on which games you thing will suit you best.

Arguably the most popular of the casino games is slots. No matter if you are a seasoned gamer or complete novice, slots really are the dimpliest of the casino games to play. There isn’t much to them in terms of skills needed, and a lot of where the reels fall lies with how Lady Luck is feeling on the day you play. Fans of slot games will tell you that the graphics and the realism of the characters are by far better than in any other game.

And maybe this is one of the main reasons players keep coming back to play on slots; they absorb you into a world of make believe and exploration, and hey, you can act like a big kid again and no one can say anything about it! {insert chuckle here}.

Often, I really don’t want to have to think about my next hand, my next role of the dice or if I should stay or hit, it really is just about pushing the button to make the reels spin on by and let the casino do the work for me. And when you do win a jackpot like in Mega Moolah, which has hit above £1 million before, it really is well worth a trip to let the reels reward you.

If you are one of those players looking to beat the odds, test your skill and all that fun stuff, then games like blackjack and video poker are the games for you.

Yes they do require a little more thinking but the challenge it presents some players is what keeps them coming back for more and more.

Whichever way the wind blows, whatever mood you are in on the day you want to play, take a shot at our free games. Give them a go without spending a cent and really get a good dose of gaming at its best. Then when you are ready to put some pounds on the table or slot machine, give it a go. There could be a winner’s check with your name on it waiting for you in the end.

Online slot tournaments

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.

Hellboy – slot game

Comic book characters have always been colourful individuals that spark our imaginations, and it’s no real surprise that they have been brought to life in so many themed slots games. The exciting storylines are perfect for the fast-paced casino world, and one of the latest comic book characters to get the slots treatment is Hellboy. For those who don’t know him from the comics, or from the 2 movies that he has appeared in, Hellboy is a cigar chomping, gun toting good guy straight from the bowels of hell. He fights all kinds of strange creatures that make it into our world, basically saving us from mayhem on a daily basis.

Here at Llanbikefest, Hellboy is a 5-reel, 20 payline slot with a rather devilish 10,000 coin jackpot. All of the other major characters, such as Prof. Trevor Bruttenholm, Johann Krause, Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman also appear, and there are some really cool little animations that really bring the game to life when you hit a winning combination.

There are some very cool additional features in the Hellboy game, and those start with the Wild symbol which triggers a 2x multiplier on a winning combo. Three or more scatter symbols unlock the Underworld Bonus round where you try to locate valuable relics before your surroundings collapse in on you.

There is also the super mode bonus round, which is randomly triggered and presents you with 10 free spins, with the highlight being that three Wild symbols are randomly placed and held during the spins. That little extra alone can really add up to some tremendous bonus payouts that Hellboy will walk away with in his giant fist. You don’t have to be a fan of the comics or movies to get a kick out of the Hellboy game, so be sure to give it a spin the next time you log in to Llanbikefest online casino.

Download vs Flash


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.

 

Trick or Treat Slot

Halloween may be over for another year, but that doesn’t mean the scary fun has to end. Once you come off your Halloween candy sugar high, you may want to recapture the magic of that annual night of horror by taking a spin on Llanbikefest’s 3 reel game Trick or Treat.

You’re bound to go batty over this classic pub slot style game, and with treats than can go all the way up to 4000 credits, chances are you’ll never feel tricked when you play this one. The 3 reel slot has 9 pay-lines, but you can be subjected to a horrible trick if the jackpot winning Jack o lanterns show up on the third line, as that will mean no prize, despite the normal winning combo; a truly hair raising experience.

There are no bonus features, or free spin options available on Trick or Treat, but by ignoring the standard rule of a single pay-line on a 3 reel slot game, the excitement is ramped up by adding those extra pay options.
This is the perfect game for slots beginners, or for lovers of the pub slot style who want a little change from their standard single pay-line games. Trick or Treat is a fast paced, colourful gaming experience with candy, bats and Jack o lanterns all combing to help you relive the Halloween night experience.

Try it out for as little as 25 cents a spin, which means never having to be afraid of losing your fortune, or get a little braver with a $15 per spin maximum bet. Trick or treating has never been this sweet, and by playing online, you can continue to wear your Halloween costume without getting any strange stares.
