Jacks or Better – Basic Strategy

General Online Gambling Strategy
on December 10th, 2011 by admin - No Comments


I personally love the game of Video Poker, especially Jacks or Better, simply because they are very rewarding. It is not impossible at all to win a lot of money as long as you play using the right set of Video Poker strategy. We’ve talked about hand frequency before, so in this part we are going to talk about how you can use the knowledge to help you stay profitable playing Video Poker online.

Based on the Video Poker hand frequency we’ve discussed earlier, it is very easy to determine which hand to pursue when you are playing Jacks or Better. All you need to do is look at the hand frequency and the kind of return you can expect from the hand and you will be able to determine the right hand to pursue.

Let’s say you have a hand of 10-10-J-Q-K, which hand should you pursue? Would it be better to keep the pair of 10s and pursue a Three of a Kind, or is it better to keep the 10-J-Q-K and see if you can make a Straight out of it? Most beginner video poker players will naturally keep the 10-J-Q-K and try to make a Straight. Although this is a good approach nonetheless since a Straight pays more than a Three of a Kind, the percentage of return based on the hand frequency simply says that it is better to keep the pair of 10s and hope another 10 shows up to make a Three of a Kind; you have better odds of winning this way.

Understanding the Random Number Generator

Basics Strategy
on October 3rd, 2011 by admin - No Comments

Every online casino platform uses a simple algorithm behind every game: the Random Number Generator or RNG. It is an algorithm designed to general random combinations of numbers constantly. The same algorithm is used behind conventional slots machines you find at local casinos as well as some Video Poker machines. By understanding the nature of RNG, you can actually approach different online casino games better.

As the name suggests, RNG is completely random. There is no way to predict the outcome of an online slots machine’s spin accurately based on historical facts. The only way you can beat the randomness is by having a good set of online casino strategy and proper bankroll management strategy in hand.

Another thing about RNG is that the algorithm keeps rotating outcomes even when you are not playing. Let’s say you play the game of slots and you are trying to hit the jackpot. Playing at blazing fast speed will only expose your casino bankroll to the house advantage even more. Instead, you should really take your time and enjoy the game even further. By slowing down, you also reduce the risk of losing more money in shorter amount of time.

Last but certainly not least, stop focusing on finding “surefire secrets” to winning in casino games and start enjoying the time you spend playing those games even more. Whether you win or lose, you will still be able to enjoy the thrills of playing online casino games from the comfort of your house.

Download Casino or Instant Casino

General Online Gambling
on August 11th, 2011 by blogger - No Comments

People have various options while playing at online casinos as these sites offer them different software to play with. Most online casinos offer either download casino or instant casino and in some cases both.

There are equal number of supporters of both, online casino and download casino, with players opting for one which suits them best. When online casinos were newly introduced, the download version was considered better for those interested in better graphics and ease of games.

But times have changed and with new software being introduced, instant casinos are offering almost the same gaming experience as download casinos. There are certain advantages of playing at instant casinos, the most important being you don’t need to download any software.

Not all casinos are good and it is possible that a player might inadvertently download some malicious virus or bug while downloading casino software. Most reputed and well known casinos offer safe software and safeguard the interest of their members. Instant casinos are a good bet for those worried about downloading viruses while playing at relatively unknown gaming sites.

Download casinos as the name suggests require you to download the software which can take up space on your computer or gaming gadget. A player who plays at a few casinos does not have problem with downloading the software. But those players who love to play at different casinos cannot obviously download the software of too many casinos. The best option for them would be to play at instant casinos where they can register, fund their account and start playing their favourite casino games.

Download casino are good for players who play only on their PC. The best way to tackle this issue is to play at both download and instant casinos. Players can download the software of a few select casinos which they like the most and opt to play at instant casinos at other sites.
