Tips for Playing Online Roulette
By Cali Cutta
Roulette has
always confused me. There are so many different versions and system
strategies that they almost cancel each other out. My thought was always
that if you bet on black or red, you would have a fifty-fifty chance at
winning. Apparently this is not the case. Some tips, like this one are
just plain silly: “Avoid betting the #5 because it has the worst chance of
producing a win.” Because each spin is independent of the others, go ahead
and wager on your lucky number. Also, in a real casino you can track numbers
by watching a table for 100 spins. If a number comes up frequently that
makes it a “biased” table. For the same reasons stated above, you cannot
have a biased table online....

How Blackjack Can Help Your Poker Bankroll
By Daniel
Yee
It sounds
counterintuitive -- that playing blackjack online can contribute to the
health and wealth of your poker bankroll. How can a game in which the house
wins in the long run (the house edge in an eight-deck shoe can be about .43
percent) make you money in the long run? The answer is online casino
incentive bonuses. Poker players who don't take advantage of this "free
money" are hurting themselves in the long run...

Tips for Playing Online War
By Cali Cutta
Who hasn’t played
war when they were kids? My brother and I spent endless hours, and that was
just for the fun (?) of it. He always won. How could that be? It seemed like
sooner or later I would get the edge, but no, my brother was one “lucky”
cheater...

Knowing
is Half the Battle
By Craig
Settimo
I’ve inhaled
enough smoke to last me three generations yet I wont get up and leave. My
back is contorted and I don’t think any massage parlors can get this knot
out. My jeans are stained with Bloody Mary residue and who knows what else.
I have no idea how long I’ve been here but judging by my pit stains I’d say
it’s been a fair while. If you would ask me; I’d tell you I’m broke, yet I’m
funneling nickels into this slot machine as I feel every pull will get me
closer to helping the Rebels defeat the Dark Side...

Low Denomination Video Slots Strategy
By Law Gardner
Over the last 3 or
4 years, the trend in video slot machines has definitely gone down the path
of lower denominations with higher line configurations. This trend is great
for players because it gives you so many options. If you’re a “tourist”
gambler who likes to stretch a $20 a long way, you can play a 1 cent video
slot machine, cover all 20 lines with a 1 credit bet per line, and the odds
are that you will get about 20 minutes of good gaming entertainment – and
you might even cash out up a few bucks.

Walk
Away
By Craig
Settimo
I’m fat, bald and
for the last three weeks unemployed. With all this extra time I grew a
beard. I couldn’t even do that right. It turned out gray. I look Hemingway.
I wish I had his money, instead I only inherited his love of cats. I don’t
know if he even likes cats. I just know I saw his house in Key West and it
was infested with cats. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been with a woman in
months, my house is also infested with cats. And kittens. By all accounts
I’m a loser.

Tips
for Playing Online Keno
By Cali Cutta
The creation of
the game of Keno actually traces back to around 200 B.C. China. It was
utilized as a way to raise money for wars and was so successful that it is
rumored that is was also used to fund the Great Wall of China. Like the
lottery, Keno is a game of pure luck and one of the simplest casino games to
learn. In fact, if you play the lottery now, you already know the basics of
Keno. You choose your numbers from a selection of 1 - 80 or a quick pick.
The more numbers you play, the more your chances of winning, but it will
also cost you more.

Tips for Playing Online Video Poker
By Cali Cutta
When I head to a
real time casino, I generally head straight for the video poker. I am not
comfortable playing with dealers and/or others who know or can at
least bluff better than I. I like the idea of slots, but feel like I want at
least a fighting chance. Another nice aspect of VP machines is that if
you tire of one kind of game you usually have the option of choosing between
several others. Some even have Keno, but that’s an article unto itself.

Tips
for Playing Online Casino Slots
By Cali Cutta
If there is one
thing I have learned about playing slots, it is that you must have a clear
head and a pre-determined budget. As in any online game, the
percentage is with the house. If you are a player, generally the odds will
run between 80 - 98%. On a 98% payoff machine, this translates into about 9%
going to the house.

Video Slots 101
By Law Gardner
Back in the good
old days (i.e. when you got caught cheating at cards in Vegas, you’d wake up
in small pit in the desert, dead), slot machines were pretty easy to
understand. Put a quarter in the coin slot, pull the arm, and then watch the
3 mechanical reels spin. If 3 matching symbols appeared on the center pay
line (the only pay line), you won, if not, then you try again.
