Best Playtech Casinos
One of my favourite games to play online is blackjack or “21”. This is the perfect casino game in my eyes because it is a nice mixture of skill and chance. The payout is also great considering the house edge. Many seasoned players may beg to differ, but playing online is quite similar to playing in an actual casino for a couple of different reasons.
When playing online always be sure to choose a reputable casino. These casinos must have random number generation embedded in them so you are certain that the game is fair and completely random. A good way to know if the casino is accredited is by looking at the casino software. I generally like to play at PlayTech Casinos. If not PlayTech then Microgaming or RealTime Gaming casinos. Another great rule of thumb is to pick a casino with an attractive payout percentage and hit frequency.
PlayTech got its start in 1999 in the UK and has continued to be a top leader in the online casino software industry. PlayTech has the prestigious honor of holding a certificate of Prior Approval from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC). You can get more of a PlayTech overview on their Wikipedia page. Playing blackjack at a PlayTech casino is particularly exciting because the company actually developed the layout for online blackjack. They also are credited with the layout of video poker, scratch games, online bingo, fixed-odds arcade games, and sports betting.
I like playing blackjack at Casino Titan; it is one of the best PlayTech casinos in my eyes.
Bodog Is Now Bovada
Casino Bodog has changed its name, if you haven’t noticed by now. The operators assure you though that in no way will this affect the way the casino operates. All registration information has been transferred over, so logging in for the first time should be seamless. This new name also comes with a new license. They are now operating under a license from the UK Gambling Commission. Bovada is definitely one of those casinos to look out for, they are going to continue to thrive and grow their empire. Founder Calvin Ayre has been quoted saying they are trying to build something “not until the Virgin brand venture”. If you like slots then this is your site, with over 60 different varieties of games, and several different types to choose from; 3-Reel to 20-Reel, progressive to interactive. If you aren’t a slots player there are several other specialty games for you.
Bovid does not slack on the bonuses and promotions. Currently your first chip purchase will be matched up to $500. This is a great special they are running.
Another aspect that makes them unique is their software. They do not use an outside software company; rather they have developed their own software specifically for them, so you know every game is going to be unique.
Casino Bovada is one of the best online casinos, I’m sure of it. But don’t listen to me; check out all of the reviews they have on http://news.google.com/. There are several websites providing casino reviews, tips and tricks.
Leader in Online Poker Indictment Pleads Guilty
There finally is some light at the end of the tunnel in regards to the great online Poker indictment that happened April of 2011. One leader, Ira Rubin, who has lived in Costa Rica for years now to avoid fraud charges from a telemarketing scandal, has pleaded guilty to fraud charges revolving around assisting in online poker websites avoiding US gambling laws.
He pleaded guilty to one count of breaking US laws against internet gambling abd one count each of conspiracy t commit bank and wire fraud, and also participating in a money laundering conspiracy, according to an article on Reuters. He also admitted to processing payments for the poker companies, all the while deceiving US banks into transferring proceeds to fake companies.
The three companies seized were Absolute Poker, Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars, back in April of 2011. Rubin was working with all three companies helping to transfer tens of millions of dollars in illegal online gambling earnings.
Brent Beckley, Absolute Poker co-owner, also pleaded guilty to similar charges last month.
If anything hopefully this scandal shows that US government that there is plenty of money to be made in the online gambling industry, and a wise decision would be to regulate and tax it themselves.
The poker industry may be going through some turmoil right now, but that is not stopping the rest of the industry from flourishing. In fact, there has never been a better time to get in on the action. If you are looking for a site or a game to play, check out playonline-casinos.com to find just the right place.
Best Craps Apps
I have been getting a lot of requests for applications for phones and computers after my last blog about the best blackjack apps, so I’ve decided to go through all of the different casino game apps. This week I’m going to focus on Craps. I like craps because it holds the lowest house edge. Many are intimidated by craps but it actually can win you the most money. If you are a beginner, or even a seasoned craps player, there are certainly apps out there that can help you out.
Let’s start slow. If you are one of the people that refuses to pay for any application then “Casino Craps” is for you. This game is the best of the free variety. If you are willing to spend around a buck then “Craps University” or Craps Deluxe” is for you. These two games are terrific; they really capture the essence of the game, and are highly entertaining as well as informative.
If you are willing to spend two dollars, and I suggest this move, the “Aw Craps” is your game. It is by far the most realistic and helpful. There are many features and strategic tips to guide you through the game. It can do many things that the other apps can’t do, and it is a wise investment.
The great thing about apps is they are always in your pocket, or near you. Playing online casino games with your phone on a flight to Vegas is going to improve your game, and winnings, tremendously.
