Let it Ride Poker is another of the many poker variations circulating and is very similar to 5-card stud poker in case you’re familiar with that. It’s played with a standard 52 card deck and up to seven players. It’s like video poker in that you play against the pay schedule.

Today I want to talk to you about why I believe online casinos to be way better than land based ones. Don’t get me wrong I love Las Vegas and I love Vegas Show Girls as well, I also like the blinking lights all around you when you walk the Vegas Strip but when you come to think about it there are so many advantages in playing online rather than offline, and I don’t want to remind you about the packaging...

I’ve always been a little skeptical about people claiming to have invented an infallible roulette system. Yet I came across a news article the other day about a 70 year old grandfather in the UK who in 2007 managed to win over £360,000 in just 10 days when playing online roulette at InterCasino. Incredibly his numbers just somehow kept coming up. Apparently when he was asked about what his secret to winning...

It’s an unfortunate truth that there are scams and shady online casinos around. The more common ones are not receiving payouts and identity theft.  Thankfully I haven’t been a victim of one (yet?) myself and that’s because I’m a stickler for following some basic safety checks before I open an account with a new casino. I thought I would share them with you here. 1. Check the gaming licence Every...

If you’re a video poker player, maybe this one is for you.  I quite enjoyed Aces & Faces because I like fast paced games. Plus it was really straight forward to play. It’s a video poker game loosely based on 8/5 Jacks or Better in case you’ve ever played that. There’s an increased payout for ‘Four of a Kind’ with Aces and Face cards (Kings, Queens and Jacks). The idea...

You can play all the classic casino games at just about any online casino today: blackjack, poker, roulette, craps, baccarat … just to name a few.  And that is one beauties of online gaming – the variety of games offered by virtual casinos is much more extensive than land based casinos. But perhaps you’re getting a little bored with the old favorite and looking for something different to break up...

I just found a great Roulette trick on Youtube, watch it and you’ll master the basic strategy of online Roulette. It’s fun to test it and challenge the casino just to see how it works, also a good way to lean the game if you are a new player. If you are a new player to online casinos you should try it playing on practice mode before playing on real money. There are a lot of strategy types, and it’s important...

Casino JokesI think it’s always a good idea to have a poker joke or two up your sleeve when you sit down to play a few rounds with mates – especially when you take that big fat pot. Some people just seem to have a lot of luck. A friend of mine is one of those card players who can almost always draw whatever he needs to win a hand in poker, but loses big time at the races. I asked him about this once and...
