Online Casino Help

Casino Do’s and Don’ts Part 1 is part one of a three part series on this topic.

We visit casinos to have fun and don’t want to be bombarded with ten thousand rules on what to do and what not to do.  Having said that, a few simple do’s and don’ts can mean the difference between enjoying yourself and leaving the casino feeling terrible.

The most important casino do is to use self control.  Make sure you have that before you even head out to the casino.  The second most important do is to either play mindless games or learn strategy.  Don’t expect to win strategic games like poker with just beginners luck tucked into your back pocket.

Don’t play games you don’t know, first do your homework.  Also spend some time familiarizing yourself with the casino and finding out what the rules are.  If it’s your very first casino trip, try and get a more experienced friend to show you the ropes.

You could also consider visiting an online casino and trying out some free games as this will give you an idea of what to expect at the ‘real life’ casino.

Casino Do’s and Don’ts Part 2 is part two of a three part series on this topic.  We have covered that you do need self control and you do need to do your homework.

You also need to know how much money you can wager and how much money you are prepared to lose.  Set yourself a limit and don’t go above it.

Then you can plan what you are going to play inside the casino.  Do you just feel like gambling and trying out new games or are you there for the full experience i.e. you would like to dine, shop, and watch shows.
Another good DO is to look at various casinos and compare their prices.  Some have bigger bonuses and some have better specials and freebies.  First time users should make use of bonuses as you will probably need some time to work on developing your gambling skills.

Do monitor your credits and don’t overspend at the casino.  Do gamble for enjoyment and don’t gamble to try and make a profit.  Don’t spend all your money in one go and don’t fool yourself that you will walk out of there a millionaire.

Do think of the money you are using to place bets as lost money.  Don’t ever be tempted to bet with your savings.  Do use your own money but don’t ever borrow money to fund your casino trip.  Planning to get rich from the casino is like planning to win the lottery – it happens to one in a million.

Do be satisfied with small casino wins and do be happy if you end the night by breaking even. Beginners usually end by losing more at the casino and any win is a good win, even if it means you are only breaking even.

Do check out your local paper for ads on best casino deals. Times are tough and we want to go for the best deal and visit the casinos with the best possible payouts. Bigger payouts mean that it will give you a higher chance of winning there.

My last do is to make sure you learn the casino rules, especially if you plan to return on a more regular basis.  A lot of players end up losing or being asked to leave because they did not bother to keep up to date. If you are not sure, always ask the dealer before you place your bet.

I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t want to win twenty thousand quid. It sure would make a dent in MY mortgage.If you are interested you should visit the Paddypower online casino as they are running an incredible competition in the last month of May 2009. And one lucky winner will take home the ultimate prize on the last day of May.

It’s quite simple to enter the competition. Simply download the Paddypower casino software ASAP and start playing. The casino is giving away prizes to the person who bets the biggest amount in pounds and Euros. And they are also giving away a prize to the person who bets the most times.

You could win by betting the most, for example playing a game of high stakes blackjack, or on the other hand you could prefer to win by playing hundreds of low stakes blackjack games.

The site will have a look at the leader board at the end of the competition and the tip fifty will all win something. Give it a shot but please remember to gamble responsibly as we don’t want people gambling all their money away just to win a grand!

I would’ve been happier if the newspaper article said she set the record for winning a very large craps jackpot. But, like with a lot of things craps-like, the record was actually set for the longest craps roll anyone has ever had at a casino.

Now, I have heard of people even dying from playing video games without taking a break (without eating or sleeping) and I found it weird that anyone would be able to play casino craps for longer than an hour.

The woman who set the record is from New Jersey, and this record took place during her second ever game of craps. The Associated Press article states that the woman set the record for the longest ever continuous craps roll – the time total came to four hours and eighteen minutes.

The woman’s name is Patricia Demauro, and she set this record at the Atlantic City Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. The previously record stood for almost twenty years and amounted to a meager three hours and six minutes.

Now, this game drew quite a crowd as time went by and no one mentioned how much cash she won. The casino spokesperson said she bought into the game at around eight pm. She played with hundred bucks until after midnight, when she finally sevened out after hundred and fifty four rolls of the dice.

People are rarely addicted to only one thing. In other words alcoholics might also become addicted to cigarettes, etc. Or one thing simply triggers the addiction, as might be the case with alcohol and casino gambling. Casinos have a way of triggering gambling addiction by providing all sorts of comps. The idea of the comps is to keep regular gamblers happy but these seemingly innocent gestures can make it almost impossible for casino gambling addicts to quit.

While not everyone gets a free suite at the casino hotel, almost everyone is entitled to free drinks. Alcoholic drinks make you more prone to losing more money. Spending more time at the casino can also then cause you to get used to drinking on a regular basis.

Then, when you lose a lot of money, you have a drink to help you forget, and this can cause a vicious circle. There are, of course, millions of people who can gamble and drink occasionally without getting hooked on either. The idea of this blog is to warn addictive personalities that they should be aware of the inherent risk. Rather don’t mix drinking and gambling, and stop when you are no longer having fun.

Let me start off by saying that it is not a good idea to drink at the casino. Rather first play a bit and then have a couple of drinks afterwards. A casino will not be serving you free drinks if it did not mean that the more drinks you have, the more chances they have of winning all your money.I’d even go as far as to say that all bets are off when you start getting drunk, especially if you are playing a game that requires strategic thinking. If you are playing something like slots, on the other hand, you might simply stick at it long after you should have left.

Having said that, some people always drink at the casino and prefer to play the type of games that will assure them the most and best quality free drinks.

Most casinos serve free drinks but there is some etiquette involved if you want them to keep coming. Be polite, don’t yell cocktails! And always remember to tip. Also, the drunker you appear, the more likely it is that you will be overlooked on the next round. The drinks are free but the service isn’t, so tipping will get you on your way to make the most of the casino’s free drink policy.

A RNG is a Random Number Generator, the essential tool online bingo rooms use to ensure that you are playing with random numbers. Whereas conventional bingo halls will allow you to keep playing with the same cards, online bingo will require you to use new cards for every game.  The random number generator requires that you keep using new cards, to ensure that the game stays above board.

The online casino bingo RNG or random number generator, powers the software in such a way that bingo balls appear randomly. This program works with algorithms and ensures that no one or no numbers are favored. The online bingo RNG therefore creates random bingo number and random bingo cards.  Using the same cards would give you an unfair advantage or stop you from playing properly, and it is not even an option.

Some people don’t trust bingo RNG’s but there is nothing to be worried about, as long as you can see that the equipment is regularly and independently audited.  If you can’t see details on this on your bingo site, send them an e-mail requesting reports.

Once you find a good, safe online bingo casino that uses a legitimate RNG, hold on for dear life, and here’s wishing that you will be the next one to shout BINGO!

I thought I would remind you all to protect your personal info.  I know its none of my business, but let’s call it my good deed of the day.You can protect your personal info by playing at casinos that:

1.) Are reputable and legitimate

2.) Has an eCogra seal

3.) Use 128 bit data encryption

4.) Utilize a great, reputable  software package

OK, so firstly check that your online casino of choice has a license and also look at where they are licensed.  You should find this information under a special tab called something like ‘safety and security.’

Once you know that your online casino is licensed, it is also good to check whether they have the eCogra seal of approval.  This will protect you from rogue online casino sites.

I’m not going to explain data encryption in detail, but lets just say that this is an important element that will help keep your financial transactions safe and secure. Reliable and trustworthy sites often use 128 bit data encryption, and this scrambles your personal info in such a way that only their authorized personnel will have access to it.

Lastly, make sure that their software package is well-known and reputable, and you can then rest assured and focus on your gaming!

Most of you will know that UIEGA stands for the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.This Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act makes it illegal for people to transfer money from their banks to their online casino of choice.  Some exceptions that are named in the act include online lotteries, horse racing, and fantasy sports betting.

Hmm, not that I understand why it’s OK to bet on a sport that doesn’t even exist (fantasy sport) when it’s not OK to bet at an online casino.

There has been much hype about this report and it made quite a few people very upset as it was passed in a very sneaky fashion.  You see, what happened is that they attached to another bill, the SAFE Port Act, and the gambling amendment was hardly discussed at all.

To make matters worse, the act was only signed at midnight, and on the last day before congress took a break to focus on the United States elections of 2006.  The bill finally came into action a day before Obama became president and many people are now speculating whether he will oppose the bill.  President Obama likes a spot of poker, and lets hope that this will help us when he makes decisions on whether to keep or cancel this pain in the neck Act.
