The platform that your online casino uses for their slot machines matters a lot. In the world of online casino, there are only a handful of widely used platforms, and if the casino that you are using goes outside of those, then you should start to question their reliability.

When it comes to online casinos, there are just a few platforms that are used. They are used over thousands of different websites, but in reality, the games are very similar, just the casino itself being different. That’s because the platform is just the software that a specific casino uses. You won’t find millions of unique slot games out there, but just a few hundred. The casino rents the software rights from the platform, and then administers the games themselves from their individual website. Read more »

Winning at Slots

Posted by & filed under Site News, Slots.

If you’re playing online slots, you want to win money, right? Well, a lot of people don’t know this, but not all slot machines have the same odds of returns, and not all slot machines will pay out the same amounts. With this in mind, your game selection is very important. So is how you play the games once you find the right one.

Looking at payout tables is a good way to start your search. This will let you know how often the machine pays out. Some machines have a lot of wins for very small amounts, while others have far fewer winning spins, but pay out larger amounts. What you choose is really up to you and what makes you happy.

We decided to put together a short description of a few things all Blackjack players should know about.

When to Double Down

Doubling down a hand increases your bet size to double the original amount wagered. In exchange for the doubling of your bet you receive one and only one card from the dealer. There are a couple rules to live by when considering doubling down. The easiest one to remember is when you are dealt an 11. In this instance, you will always double down regardless of what the dealer is showing. Because the most populous card in the deck is a 10 you will get 21 often.

The next rule to consider is what happens pertaining to a 10. When you are dealt a 10 you will want to double down only when the dealer shows a 2 through a 9. Doubling on a 10 or ace is foolish as the odds are then in the casino’s favor.
Take Advantage of a weak dealer
The last card you should double on is a 9. In this instance, you should only double when the odds are in favor of the dealer going bust. In other words, you will only double down when the dealer is showing a 2 through a 6. Read more »
