So What About Online Slots

As you well know there are absolutely thousands of online slots games dotted around the internet. I spent the first year of my research into online casinos casing every slots joint I could find and it was great fun. There are some really rubbish slots out there and that is where I will start this journey into the world of online slots. My first day of online slots gambling was 14th February 2003. Yes it seems like years ago but in fact I was quite late onto the bandwagon. The games were not as good or varied as they are now but you could still enjoy yourself. I went to find my online casino of choice and I was bewildered. I did a quick search in Google for "online casino slots" and got a mountain of results. Which one should I choose... and why. I went to the kitchen to make ...

The Crazy 7 Online Slot Machine Game

As I told you all yesterday my first play with an online slot machine was at La Isla Casino. This was a great game to get me started. It´s very easy to play with a really simple layout and reels. Exactly what you would expect from a casino slot game. I downloaded the casino software with no problem at all. My computer at the time was a little antiquated and it too some time to get the installation done... it seemed that my computer had less memory than me... and I remember nothing! (which is why I have to write everything down - Have you ever seen the film Memento!!). Once the software was eventually there I connected and started playing (and this was on an old 56k modem connection !OUCH!) for practice. The Crazy 7 machine lets you bet 1, 2 or 3 coins. With one coin you can bet as little as 5 cents ...

A quick chat about other casino games

Before I continue with my slots story I thought I would give a quick introduction to some of the other games I have played online. The first game to mention is roulette. It´s a very easy game to play.. the rules are simple and the payouts can be pretty good. Roulette is a french word meaning "small wheel" and is believed to have been invented in France sometime during the 17th century. It has been popular in casino's around the world since the big land based casinos were introduced in the mid 19th century. As most would know a roulette wheel has 37 numbers on it (0 though to 36). The wheel is spun and a small ball is rolled down onto the wheel, against the turn. As both the wheel and the ball slow down the ball will find itself a number to rest beside. This will either be the zero, or one of ...

Online Casino Poker

I have played poker a few times now online, not as much as I should have done and the reason for this is that I wasn´t confident enough to play (even for fun) on a table with many other players that were more experienced and better than me. But practice is the best thing to do and you have to play sooner or later so I took the plunge. The most popular poker game at the moment is Texas Holdem, this is a great game and is getting massive exposure. With the TV coverage of the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker top players are becoming household names. TV advertising for Pacific-Poker, Party Poker and Full Tilt Poker is now big business as is their sponsorship of TV shows and sometimes whole TV channels. When I first started to think about playing poker I don´t think Texas Holdem was a ...

More on Slots

I have spent the weekend playing online slots again. I tried a few news casinos to see what new games thay had and I was very happy with the variety of games that I was able to download and play. I was particularly looking for video slots with a bonus round as generally these are more fun to play. I remebered playing a video slot game a few years ago at a land based casino in Las Vegas but I cant remember what it was called. The game itself had 5 reels and multiple paylines and followed a fire fighter theme. It was such a great game and I remember being quite successful. If you got the bonus game you had to climb a building putting out the fire. You had a tank of water and had to direct your fire hose at one of 5 windows that were on the ...

British Pub Fruit Machines

When I was in my younger days I lived in the UK and spent my late teens and early twenties frequenting the wonderful british pubs. One of the main ingredients of a british pub is the fruit machine, or fruity as it is often called. The fruit machines were brightly lit, very loud and had load of flashing lights. I used to love them. The first thing I looked for when I went online to the best and biggest casinos was the fruit machines. At first glance I couldn´t find them, then I remembered that most online casinos had massive american influence, and were known as Slot Machines. Well that is what I assumed anyway. I soon found out that Slot Machines were very different from Fruit Machines. OK, they followed the same ideas in that you put in your money and spin the reels and you win according to what ends ...

PartyPoker, PartyCasino, PartyBingo…. Party888.com

Party Gaming are a huge online gambling company with popular, well known and established brands such as Party Poker, Party Casino and Party Bingo. They have been running for a number of years an built their name through advertising and sponsorship. But has it all gone wrong for the online casino giant? PartyGaming are listed on the UK stock exchange and the CEO had announced that he is willing (and openly looking) for a deal with a land based casino. Online gaming is not allowed in the USA, as the online gaming company is registered and listed in the Uk it is a great opportunity for a large land based Las Vegas casino to go online and have a UK and European market ready and waiting for them. It is reported that The Bellagio and The Mirage are interested, this would be a great way in to the online market... neither casino´s ...

Have you ever played Red Dog Poker?

Whilst browsing around the lobby of my favourite online casinos I decided to try a game that I had never played before. I came across this game - Red Dog Poker - in the Card Games section of the casino and had a quick read of the rules. It seemed really simple and I thought I would have a go. Now, normally simple games really bore me. There is very little thinking involved and I soon switch off. Red Dog was surprisingly different. Now Red Dog is a simple card game, the dealer deals 2 cards onto the table and the idea is to make a bet and gamble on whether the next card to be drawn from the pack is numbered between them. Sounds kinda complicated but it´s not. Firstly two cards are dealt. Lets say that these 2 cards are the 8 of clubs and the 3 of hearts. This has a spread of 4... ...

Playing MONEY SHOT slots

Hi guys, just thought I would let you know that I spent a few hours over the weekend playing at a casino I have never used before. The casino has been around for a long while and seems to be pretty good. Everybody has heard of Playtech and Microgaming, these are the main players but this particular casino uses software by "Vegas Technology". I have never played any of their games before so I thought I would give it a try. The software isn´t as good as the market leaders. It´s a bit jumpy and froze a few times (maybe that´s my ADSL connection playing up) but all the usual games were their and looked good. I played a few table and card games first but found nothing new that excited me or would make me change from my regular casino. I then went into the video slots area and found a 5 reel 20 ...
