Here you will find some advices how to orient in the world of online gambling

Frank Sinatra
Today, casinos make more money with non-gaming revenue than on their actual casino floors. That means that people are coming to casinos the world over, spending a fair amount on gambling, but putting down more for high-class meals, spa treatments, and of course, shows.

|
|
Elvis Presley
Casinos make more money off of entertainers than they do off of your gambling. It’s amazing, but it’s true. Last year, casinos took in more non-gaming revenue than gaming associated. However, this has not been the way things have always been.

Nick “The Greek” Dandolos
Nick “The Greek” Dandolos may be one of the most well-known gamblers, if not the most well-known gambler of all time. While many other players have treaded the casino floors in the 39 years since Dandolos’ death, none have had the same combination of luck, skill, insanity and charisma that made Nicolas Dandolos a historical figure in the world of gambling, as well as one of the charter inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame.

Keith Taft
Casinos have always been known for having a feeling of subterfuge, or mystery. Perhaps it is the less-than-reputable history of the casinos themselves, filled with stories of mob bosses running laundering money while people were “dealt with” in the back rooms.

Tommy Hyland
Many blackjack players would rather play a game that is easy than a game that feels comfortable. Of course, that is the methodology behind the basic strategy: to have the odds as even as possible. One exception to this rule, however, is Tommy Hyland, who has been playing blackjack full-time since April of 1979.

The Great Slot Scam
Everyone waits for the next big break: the way to win big against the casinos jonny-jackpot-casino.com. It has been a common notion that the only game that can be successfully played and won in a casino is blackjack. Every other game is simply a game of chance.

|
Julian Braun
Perhaps not as well known in blackjack circles as Ken Uston or Stanford Wong, Julian Braun is no less important for the contributions that he has made to the game of blackjack. One of the most recent additions to the blackjack hall of fame, Braun’s contributions to the game are not as well-known, but are of great importance for anyone who ever hopes to succeed in blackjack.

High Rollers Casino Game Review
If you are looking for a casino game to pass the time, look a little further than High Rollers Casino for the Xbox or PS2. What had the potential to be a quite engaging game is instead limited by poor graphics and poor decision-making by the company that released the game.
|
|
|
Bicycle Casino Game Review
Are you just aching for some time in the casino, but can’t get away from home? Well, if that’s the case, here is your solution: go to the store, buy an Xbox if you don’t already have one and grab a copy of Bicycle Casino while you’re there.

|
Sega Casino Game Review
Have you ever played a game or seen a movie that is simply so “middle of the road” that you can’t be sure if you liked or disliked it? If not, play Sega Casino for the Nintendo DS, and be prepared for sheer emotional ambiguity.

|
Vegas Stakes Game Review
Believe it or not, casino games existed before Texas Hold ‘Em became the “in thing,” and celebrities could be seen playing cards on television at any time during the day or night. Take for example Hal Laboratories 1993 SNES classic Vegas Stakes, which did with 16-bits what many casino games can’t do today: made a console, casino simulation that was actually fun to play.
|
|
|
Casino Kid Game Review
The mid-1980s were a simpler time for video games. Graphics weren’t important, and in certain games the player was represented by nothing more than a block. Sounds were nothing more than looped over midi files, and subtitles were barely understandable as being English.
|
|
|
Casino Kid 2 Review
Sofel, the same company that brought you the horrific Casino Kid thought that one installment simply couldn’t satiate your thirst for ridiculous casino simulation. With that in mind, let us look at the second in a two-part epic, Casino Kid 2.

|
Vegas Dreams Game Review
Released by Hal Laboratories in March of 1990, Vegas Dreams was special in the fact that it may be the only good casino game ever released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Other casino games, such as Casino Kid, had tried to create stories that were interesting while giving players the games they wanted to play, and had failed.

|
|
Caesar’s Palace Game Review
Ask the gamer community what the best games are in the casino genre, and you’ll normally get two answers: Vegas Stakes for the SNES and Caesar’s Palace for the PlayStation One. The most incredible fact about these answers is that neither is for one of the forth-coming “next generation” consoles, or even for current consoles for that matter.

The Martingale System
This gambling “system” pre-dates the invention of probability and statistics. The principle simply consists of doubling up a wager following every loss. When the player wins, the player wins one unit. When the player loses, the player bets twice as many units. Should the player lose again, the player doubles that wager and so on. The theory is that when the player finally wins a wager, he or she comes out head by one unit.

Betting Systems
Before getting too invested in betting systems, every player needs to understand the following.
|
|
|
Kismet Studios
Kismet provides inventive software, games and services to regulated interactive casino and lottery operators that allow them a maintainable advantage in the marketplace. Kismet's software powered the re-launch of the Harrods Internet Casino and also powers Sage Internet Casino, Asia's first internet casino, based in the Philippines.

Betting in Baccarat
Do you think you’re ready to play baccarat? Be warned, baccarat is a game that can become addicting very easily. It’s elegant, it’s relaxing and more than anything, it is one of the most simplistic games to play in the casino.

Worst Bets to Make
If you want to be a successful gambler, the key is knowing what bets to place. Here are a few that you want to avoid at all costs.
|
|
|
More Bad Bets
As a successful gambler, one of the most important things to know is what the best odds are going to be in any specific game, and what odds are the best in the casino on a general level.
|

Bad Bets: the Revenge
There isn’t a game on the floor that doesn’t have a built-in house advantage. The difference between the happy gambler and the sad gambler is the fact that the happy gambler knows what to play, and what to run away from. Here are a few bets that you should make sure not to play.

Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel is mistakenly credited by many as the man who created Las Vegas. This is of course, not true in the least.
|
|
|
Benny Binion
For those of you who are familiar with Benny Binion, it should be agreed that he is to the gambling industy what James Brown is to soul music.
|
|
|
Carrot Top
Most people give prop comics the same respect they reserve for mimes or garden gnomes. Carrot top is no exception. The man is hopelessly silly, and that seems to be exactly the way he likes it.
|
|
|
Celine Dion
Celine Dion litterally came out of nowhere. Well, if not nowhere, her home town of Charlemagne, Quebec is about as close to nowhere as a body can get. From this small town came a singer who would become one of the brightest, international stars of the entire music scene.
|

|
Howard Hughes
Anybody who has ever discovered black mold in their home knows how hard it is to get rid of a parasitical element that sucks the very life from its host. This is exactly what organized crime was doing to Vegas throughout the 50's and 60's.
|
|
|
Joan Rivers
"Can we talk?" That particular catch phrase is as synonymous with the eighties as "Where's the Beef?" It was in that decade that most of us became acquainted with a talented actress and comedian named Joan Rivers.
|
|
|
Oscar Goodman
In most places when a politician has a background that involves being the defense attoney for many of the biggest organized crime figures of the last half century, they would have trouble being elected to the post of piranha. In Las Vegas though, sometimes the world doesn't work the same way as it does everywhere else.
|
|
|
Penn and Teller
Watching Penn and Teller perform is akin to having a comedic out of body experience. In other words, this is not your average magic show. If your looking for cheesy dignity, you can find David Copperfield.
|
|
|
Siegfried and Roy
On those rare occasions when one finds themselves thinking dreamily about white tigers, thoughts about Siegfried and Roy cannot be far behind. This magical duo has been performing tricks (the legal kind) with the help of their white tigers for decades.
|
|
|
The Rat Pack
By now most of us are familiar with a group that was dubbed "The Rat Pack" and their place in lore and mythology of Las Vegas. This was not a group in the normal sense of the word, but rather a transient group of entertainers who were playfully lumped together by media in the early part of the 1960's.
|
|
|
Tom Jones
Tom Jones is a Welsh holdover from the British invasion of the 1960's. Since his arrival during the mid 60's, Jones has displayed his musical versatility by applying his booming voice to nearly every form of popular music. This includes pop, rock, show tunes, country, dance, and techno.
|
|
|
Wayne Newton
How many Wayne Newton songs can you name? Most people in the world, who are not slavering devotees of the Vegas crooner, probably cannot name more than one or two. Despite this lack of knowledge about his music, one would have to take their mail in a shack located in the Ozarks to not be aware of who Wayne Newton is. He is one of the few people on the planet who are simply famous for being famous.

|
|
Whitney Phoenix
Whitney Phoenix is an immensely talented musician. This is not something that just happened though. Phoenix has been studying the piano and music theory since he was eight years old. As he got older he could have easily sacrificed his talent on the altar of rock and roll for some quick, fleeting fame and groupies, but instead he stayed true to his first love, Classical music.

The Origin of Horseracing
Horse racing, like so many other forms of gambling, came to us by way of Asia. This was no idle sport used for the purpose of entertainment though, horse racing was serious business. Back in the days of Ghingis Khan, Mongol warfare was done primarily on the back of a horse. Using such equestrian related sports as horse racing was akin to getting his young men ready for battle.

The History of Sports Betting in America
Solomon once said "There is nothing new under the sun". This is one of the truest statements in the history of the world. The simple fact is that if somebody is doing something, than it has probably been done thousands of times in the past somewhere else. Anyone who thinks sports betting is something that came along with Monday Night Football, needs to go back and take a history class.
|
|
|
New Orleans
The origin of casinos in America begins in the bayous of New Orleans. It was here where poker became the beginnings of the casino industry in America. Early versions of poker gained popularity in the Louisiana territory after traveling to the Big Easy with French settlers.

Hollandish System and Martingale System
Hollandish System: The player begins the game with a stake of one unit until the player wins for the first time. Then the player tries to compensate for the previous losses with a progression of 3 units. If three bets were lost, the player will have to win three times before the progression is finished.
Martingale System: Originally this was referred to a class of betting strategies that were first popular in France during the 18th century. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins his stake if a coin comes up heads and loses it if the coin comes up tails.

Hoyle Casino 3D
This game is a mix of both the good and the bad. On the plus side it has a wonderfully wide variety of games. Just about anything you see in a casino is available to play on Hoyle. If you are like so many of us who only play one or two games at the casino and are a bit undereducated on the rest of the offerings to be found on the gaming floor, this game offers comprehensive tutorials that are good enough to prepare you for not just the computer game, but the live experience as well.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Long before Kenny Rogers crooned out some rather obvious lyrics about knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, there was another artist who made the simple title The Gambler famous. Fyodor Dostoevsky is not a name that is often associated with the world of gambling. He is more noted as an intellectual and writer. Most of us are at least familiar with his most famous novel, Crime and Punishment, but he is also the author of a less known book that is simply titled, The Gambler.
|

|
Payout Poker & Casino
This game would have been so much more satisfying if the promises leading up to the release were not such grand statements. Like most of the second Star Wars series, this game failed to live up to the hype. While promising a "Real World" casino experience, it delivered a slightly above average, two-dimensional, computer experience. There is nothing wrong with this, simply because we couldn't really expect much more when playing on the PC, but that wasn't what Namco promised this product would be. If you lower your expectations, this game really isn't all that bad.

Oiling Your Chips
When people start putting words together like "oil" and "chips" it usually comes after a visit to the doctor where he has just mentioned how many years being the potato chip king or queen is going to take off your life. Also the subject of oil and chips occasionally brings on the unpleasant topic of Olestra, but that subject is best left to people like Howard Stern. When we talk about oiling your chips, we mean how to properly care for a valuable set of clay poker chips. Oil is part of the equation when keeping them in proper condition.
