				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>German tennis star Boris Becker is better known for serving aces at Wimbledon or smashing volleys at Flushing Meadow, but today he has signed a deal to become an ambassador for youwin.com, a deal that will last for five years. </p>
<p>Becker, 45, won a total of six Grand Slam Titles during his illustrious career, along with 49 other career titles including a Gold Medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona where he partnered Michael Stich in the doubles. Becker is known for his love of football, and Bayern Munich in particular, and the announcement from youwin.com coincides with the Champions League Final at Wembley this weekend.</p>
<p>Speaking this morning Becker said, &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted to become a youwin.com ambassador and look forward to a long and successful relationship together. It&#8217;s going to be a great summer of sport this year and if my prediction holds true it will begin with a one goal to three Bayern Munich victory on Saturday.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can get great odds this morning at youwin.com of 14/1 (15.0) on Bayern Munich winning 3-1, and they are great odds indeed, odds that many Bayern fans will no doubt be taking right now.</p>
<p>John Faley is the Marketing Director at youwin.com and he had this to say about the signing of Boris Becker. He said, “As a company youwin.com has grown exponentially over the last three years so now is exactly the right time to introduce a sporting legend to the youwin.com family who we think personifies our core strengths of ambition, dedication and commitment to entertaining the public.”</p>
<p>Becker certainly did that when he was playing tennis as he was always throwing himself about the court. If he puts as much dedication and commitment into his role as an ambassador for youwin.com it is sure to be a winning partnership.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>William Hill are enjoying a period of success right now as they have recently announced improved figures of growth for the first period of this year, as well as recently announcing a long term deal to open a new sports book branch at the Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas. On the top of those two announcements they have also announced an extension to their sponsorship of The Scottish FA Cup as well.</p>
<p>William Hill first signed a deal to sponsor the premier cup competition in Scotland in August 2011, a deal that was for three seasons which would run until the end of the 2014 season. Today they have announced a deal that will now see them sponsor The Scottish FA Cup until the end of the 2016 season.</p>
<p>Kristof Fahy is the Chief Marketing Officer for William Hill and he had the following to say about the extension of the deal. He said, &#8220;It&#8217;s a great honour for us to be associated with the Scottish Cup and we&#8217;re delighted to be in a position to extend our relationship with the oldest association trophy in world football. We&#8217;re very excited about this new deal and look forward to working with the fans, clubs and Scottish Football Association to make this great competition even bigger and better over the coming years.&#8221;</p>
<p>Scottish Football was left reeling last year when Rangers were demoted to the Third Division, but they will now be in the Second Division next season and hope to be back in the Scottish Premier League in a further two seasons time. With the good news today about the new sponsorship deal Scottish Football looks to heading in the right direction again.  </p>
<p>Stewart Regan is the Chief Executive of the Scottish Football Association and he is “delighted” with the new deal. He said, &#8220;We have been absolutely delighted with the partnership with William Hill and especially pleased that it has today reaffirmed its commitment to Scottish football by extending its contract as title sponsor of the Scottish Cup. In a tough economic climate for Scottish football, it is reassuring that one of the United Kingdom’s most established brand names has demonstrated that it is a passionate and imaginative supporter and champion of our game.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who knows when the current agreement comes to an end at the end of the 2016 season Rangers could be back playing in the Premier League and in the final of the Scottish Cup. William Hill will be hoping so, and they will be hoping that they are playing Celtic in the final too, as they are games that attract attention from all over the globe, attention that will give William Hill even more positive exposure. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Slot machines are very simple to play and don’t require any specific gambling knowledge. Anyone can get in the game. Every spin is just like every other spin – they’re all totally random. But just because they’re random doesn’t mean that there’s no math involved. All machines have one thing in common – the longer you play, the closer the payout will be to the theoretical results.</p>
<p>But in order to understand the theoretical odds it’s important to understand a little bit more about hit frequency and payback percentage.</p>
<p><b>Classic Slots and Classic Odds</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2141" alt="Classic Slots" title="Classic Slots" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/classic-slots.jpg" width="180" height="129" />The technology of slot machines may have changed over the years, but the game has remained the same. A player inserts a coin and pulls the handle to rotate a series of reels. Each reel has a picture or symbol printed on them. Depending on which pictures line up with the pay line, you win. And the payout depends on which pictures line up.</p>
<p>The classic mechanical slot machines used springs and tension to stop the reels at random. These old electro-mechanical slots weren’t anymore predictable than today’s modern slots. Most old mechanical machines had three reels that held 20 symbols, while most modern slots have three virtual reels with 22 stops – and a random number generator program.</p>
<p>For example, for an old slot machine with 20 stops on each reel there would be 8,000 different combinations. We get this number by multiplying the number of symbols on each reel (20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000). The 8,000 possible combinations are known as a cycle. It’s important to know that the cycle does not mean the cycle of winning and losing – just the mathematical cycle.</p>
<p>In theory, if you pulled the lever 8,000 times, you would see each combination of reels once. To figure out the odds of hitting a particular combination of three reels, simply multiply your chances of landing one symbol by itself (1/20 x 1/20 x 1/20). This means your odds of pulling up any combination on a classic slot machine are 1/8,000 or 7999 to 1.</p>
<p>Just like with flipping a coin – the odds may be 50/50, but you are not likely to see exactly 50 heads and exactly 50 tails if you flipped a coin 100 times. However, with both a slot machine or a coin flip, the higher number of times you do it, the closer the odds would be to the actually probability. So to actually get close to those odds, you’d have to flip the coins millions or billions of times.</p>
<p><b>How Random Number Generators Work</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2142" alt="Random Number Generator" title="Random Number Generator" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/random-number-generator.jpg" width="180" height="125" />Modern slot machines are more complicated it’s much more difficult to mathematically predict the odds, because the numbers are theoretical and are essentially developed from a pool of infinite spins.</p>
<p>Modern slot machines use a Random Number Generator (RNG). The RNG electronically generates a random value from millions of combinations. These values determine where the reel stops. Electronic slot machines generate these numbers at a rate of 300-500 per second. When you press the “Spin” button on an electronic slot machine, it processes the random values. The first value it chooses determines the position of the first reel, the second value for the second reel and the third value for the third reel.</p>
<p><b>Payback Percentage</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2143" alt="Slot Payback Percentage" title="Slot Payback Percentage" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/slot-payback-percentage.jpg" width="180" height="120" />A machine’s payback percentage is what percent the machine will “pay back” to the player in the long run. The payback percentage is programmed into the machines by the manufacturers and can be adjusted depending on how loose the casino wants the slots to be. Machines with a higher payback percentage are commonly referred to as being “loose.”</p>
<p>Most machines run a payback percentage somewhere between 75 and 99 percent. For example, if a slot machine has a 90percent payback, it will theoretically pay back 90 cents on every dollar paid in. Keep in mind that these percentages are figured from an infinite pool of spins.</p>
<p>Say you see an advertisement for a casino boasting a 95percent payback. What this is really saying is that “You put in $100 and we’ll give you back $95.” Of course, you could win big on the first dollar or lose all $100. Think back on a random coin toss – you have a 50/50 chance of winning. In a totally fair game where the casino has no edge, you bet $100 and win you get $100 and if you lose you lose $100. Theoretically, over enough time, you and the casino would be even.</p>
<p>But with a 95 percent payback, the casino essentially pays you $95 for your win but still takes the $100 when you lose.  The casino is now taking $5 for every $100 you wager. That’s how a casino profits – it pay backs less than it takes in.</p>
<p><b>Hit Frequency</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2144" alt="Hit Frequency" title="Hit Frequency" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hit-frequency.jpg" width="180" height="125" />Frequency is the theoretical percentage of spins that will payout something to the player. The frequency is based on how many times each symbol appears as well as how often winning combination occurs. Machines with high hit frequencies pay out small wins more frequently and machines with lower hit frequencies pay out less often, but with more money.</p>
<p>The hit frequency basically tells you how many times you’ll have to lose in order to win – on average. A return of a couple of coins is a hit, but it’s not much of a win. Most slot machines have hit frequencies between 9 and 25 percent. This means that players will get hits, on average, 9-25 times out of 100 spins. These hits could be anything from a marginal return to a huge payout.</p>
<p>It’s important to note that there is usually no direct correlation between payout percentage and hit frequency. Machines with high payback may still have a low hit frequency or vice versa. A machine with a high payback and low hit frequency means that it doesn’t hit as often, but it pays out more. A machine with a low payback and high hit frequency pays out small wins, more often.</p>
<p>So whether you enjoy waiting longer for the bigger payout or getting little returns and less waiting time, you’ll now be able to find a slot machine that is the perfect combination of entertainment and profit.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
In times of austerity many businesses are finding it hard to make ends meet, with the end result seeing many closing their doors for good. The gaming world is no different it seems as another site is to close its doors for good next month with the site in question being the well renowned Groupe Partouche. </p>
<p>Earlier this year Fortune Poker were forced to close their doors for the final time on Sunday 31st March, and now on Monday 17th June the French website Partouche.fr will also close for good.</p>
<p>A statement from the company was issued this morning and it read, “The Partouche.fr website closes its doors on June 17, 2013. Join our partner MyPok and find your game world. For almost three years, we have strived to offer you the best online poker. We thank all the players, communities, and partners who have remained faithful to the proposal Groupe Partouche offers. As of June 17, 2013, Partouche.fr ceases its activity, but all players will continue to play in the Partouche Universe when joining gaming site MyPok.fr.”</p>
<p>Sad news for everyone involved, but at least all of the players are able to transfer their accounts to another website. There may be more to the closure than meets the eye though, because certain people in the know believe the closure may be down to the results of a recent television programme regarding the Partouche Groupe. It is believed that a certain number of family members of Partouche employees were handed a unspecified amount of Euros to play on Partouche.fr, which is actually against French gaming regulations.</p>
<p>It remains to be seen if those allegations are true or not, but with the closure of the website imminent it appears as though they may well be, but only time will tell if that is the case.  </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2107" alt="Roultte Glossary" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/roulette-glossary.jpg" width="430" height="122" /></p>
<p>Like any organized game, roulette has its own jargon. If you walk into a casino to play roulette without being familiar with certain terms, you run the risk of placing incorrect bets or getting left behind during the game’s action. Learn the following terms to make sure you can keep up with your roulette croupier.</p>
<p><b>American wheel</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2112" title="American Roulette Wheel" alt="American Roulette Wheel" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/american-roulette-wheel.jpg" width="180" height="139" />Two different roulette wheel styles exist, each with its own version of the game’s rules. Roulette players tend to refer to roulette wheels with both a 0 and a 00 space as American wheels, because most roulette games in America are played on this type of wheel. American wheels are less advantageous for the player, because the probability of winning on any single number bet is 37:1. European or French roulette wheels do not contain the 00 space, so the probability of spinning any single number is 36:1.</p>
<p><b>Biased wheel</b></p>
<p>Some roulette wheelsfavor different sections of numbers because of flaws in the wheel or wear and tear over time. Roulette wheels are heavy hand-made items that are subject to breakdown like any other mechanical device. Biased wheels are the holy grail of some roulette gamblers, who seek out these wheels as a way of gaining an advantage over the casino. Thanks to modern design and manufacture, biased wheels have been all but wiped out in today’s casinos.</p>
<p><b>Column bet</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2122" title="A Column Bet for Roulette" alt="Column Bet" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/column-bet-roulette.jpg" width="180" height="121" />Bets in roulette have their own lingo. Column bets are bets placed on any number in one of three different columns of numbers on the roulette betting surface. The way the numbers are laid out on the betting table places three columns of 12 numbers each inside the betting area. Column bets pay out 2:1, and have either a 31% or 32% chance of winning depending on which style of wheel you’re playing on.</p>
<div id="attachment_2125" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 130px"><a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/go/diamondvipcasino" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img class="size-full wp-image-2125" alt="Diamond Vip Casino" title="Visit Diamond Vip Casino - Up to $75000 Bonus over 5 Deposits!" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/diamond-vip-casino-roulette.gif" width="120" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/go/diamondvipcasino" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #008000;">Enjoy up to 100% cash back on your first 5 deposit when you play Roulette at Diamond VIP. US Players Welcome!</span></a></p></div>
<p><b>Corner bet</b></p>
<p>These are wagers placed on any four numbers on the betting surface, all at the same time. The name comes from the way you place the bet, by stacking your wager on the corner where the four numbers come together. Corner bets pay out 8:1, and have about a 10% chance of winning on either American or European wheels.</p>
<p><b>Croupier</b></p>
<p>This is a generic French word for a <a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/live-dealer-casinos/" title="Play Roulette online against Real Live Dealers" target="_blank">casino game dealer</a>, used often in American casinos and other gambling venues around the world. In some games, the term is applied to the employee that launches the ball into the wheel; in others it can be used for any casino employee working the game.</p>
<p><b>En prison</b></p>
<p>En prison is a rule only available on some European wheels. If you place an even-money bet on a roulette wheel with the en prison rule in effect and the number 0 comes up, your bet is held over to the next spin instead of losing altogether. If your bet loses the second time, you lose your wager, but if you win the second time, you get your wager back without the additional winnings. This rule decreases the casino’s edge on even-money bets to just 1.35%.</p>
<p><b>European wheel</b></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2113" title="European Roulette Wheel" alt="European Roulette Wheel" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/european-roultte-wheel.jpg" width="180" height="138" />European roulette wheels are the term for wheels that only contain a 0 space and not the additional 00 space. Not every roulette game in Europe has the single zero wheel, just like not every game in America has the double zero wheel, but generally, European roulette games are played on a wheel with just one 0 space. European wheels offer the best odds in roulette, with an overall house edge of 2.7% compared to 5.26% on American style double zero wheels.</p>
<p><b>French wheel</b></p>
<p>French wheel is another name for European wheel. Roulette in France has a slightly different betting surface layout, and the numbers on the wheel are arranged differently, but otherwise the game is the same as the European version. French roulette games contain a series of bets not found in other versions of roulette, with French names like <i>quatre premiere</i> and <i>voisins</i>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2117" title="A High Bet for Roulette" alt="High Bet" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/high-bet-roulette.jpg" width="180" height="121" /><b>High bet</b></p>
<p>A high bet on the highest 18 numbers on the roulette wheel, 19 through 36. This is an even-money roulette bet, paying out 1:1 with about a 48% chance of winning.</p>
<p><b>Inside bet</b></p>
<p>Because of the way the roulette betting surface is laid out, some bets are called inside and some are called outside. Bets on the 38 individual numbers or any combination of them are called inside bets because they are on the inside of the betting surface, rather than the outside, where the even-money bets and a coupler of other wagers are located.</p>
<p><b>Line bet</b></p>
<p>This bet covers six numbers at a time, with three numbers each on two adjacent rows. Line bets are placed on either of the outside lines where the two rows intersect. The bets pay out 5:1, and offer the bettor about a 16% chance of winning.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2118" title="A Low Bet for Roulette" alt="Low Bet" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/low-bet-roulette.jpg" width="180" height="120" /><b>Low bet</b></p>
<p>This is the opposite of the high bet, a bet on the lowest 18 numbers on the roulette wheel, 1 through 18. This is an even-money roulette bet that pays out 1:1, and has about a 48% chance of winning.</p>
<p><b>Outside bet</b></p>
<p>Outside bets are the opposite of inside bets, placed on the outside of the betting surface furthest away from the croupier.  Outside bets include all even-money bets, column bets, and dozens bets.</p>
<p><b>Pocket</b></p>
<p>Pocket is the name for the slots on the roulette wheel where the ball lands. Each pocket has a number, labeled 0-36 on a European style wheel or 00-36 on an American style wheel.</p>
<p><b>Street</b></p>
<p>A street bet is like half of a line bet. Each row of three numbers on the roulette betting surface is called a street bet. These bets pay out at 11 to 1, and have about an 8% chance of winning.</p>
<p><b>Wheel</b></p>
<p>The wheel is the device used to determine the outcome of roulette. Wheel is also the generic term the casino uses to describe roulette.</p>
<p>All casino games have a certain vocabulary that you just have to commit to memory. Playing time and experience with roulette will make you more familiar with the ins and outs of roulette vocabulary, but memorizing the above terms should get you familiar enough with the game to place the bets you want to place. You will learn more roulette terms the more you play roulette.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the economic down turn that the world is experiencing right now online casinos, poker rooms, sports books and lottery companies are increasingly reporting an increase in sales. Camelot who run The National Lottery in The UK are no different as today they have announced record figures for the past year. </p>
<p>This morning Camelot have announced that ticket sales for The National Lottery totalled a staggering £6.9billion for the last financial year, which was an increase of 2.4%. Now that is excellent news for Camelot, who also announced that ticket sales have increased by just over 50% in the last 10 years, and last year alone they saw nearly £1.2million of sales online too.</p>
<p>Andy Duncan is The Managing Director of Camelot and he had this to say about the news this morning. He said, “With almost £2billion delivered for the Good Causes, over £3.6billion paid out in prizes and 365 new millionaires, that&#8217;s one every single day, the National Lottery broke all records in 2012/13.”</p>
<p>MR Duncan went on to add, “We&#8217;re now up to almost £1.2m on sales online. We&#8217;re trying to make sure players can access games when they want to. Looking ahead, we are determined to build on this year&#8217;s successes by continuing to give our players what they want any time, anywhere.”</p>
<p>Camelot did not report any news on their profits this morning, but the early indications are that last years figures are thought to be in the region of £55million, a figure that is just under 1% of their ticket sales. It remains to be seen if Camelot can build on today&#8217;s figures because later this year they are increasing the ticket price from £1 to £2, but the smallest prize will be raised from £10 up to £25. When the news broke earlier this year message boards across the country were swamped with people moaning about the price increase, but a possible prize of £25 for just a £2 stake is a great return on investment and one that is bigger than the current prize structure. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2064" title="The Difference between Video Poker vs Online Poker" alt="Video Poker vs Online Poker" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/video-poker-vs-online-poker.jpg" width="240" height="172" />More than a few gamblers, who enjoy head-to-head poker in private games or in poker rooms at casinos, have never even considered playing on the Internet. It appears that a couple of major misconceptions have scared them away from online poker games.</p>
<p>The first, a common misconception about all Internet-based gambling, is that head-to-head online Texas Hold’em or stud games are somehow rigged so that the bettors give their money to the casinos hand over first. You can show them scores of reputable online poker sites with strict regulations in place to prevent this kind of abuse, and rather than this information putting their fears to bed, it sometimes stokes the fire of their insistence that online gambling is fixed to even greater heights.</p>
<p>It has been suggested that the tight-knit nature of online poker fandom (where the most active players at a given site all seem to know one another) exists as a kind of stop-gap for controversy. In other words, if a site does start to behave against type and try to rip their customers off, it garners attention in no time. Poker rooms in casinos don’t have this feature; because Internet poker players are such a tight-knit group, games at sites with this kind of community could actually be said to be safer than those at the more anonymous poker rooms.</p>
<p>But besides the whole “Internet gambling is fixed” thing, the other major misconception is that Internet poker games are all <a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/casino-games/video-poker/" title="Play Video Poker Online" target="_blank">video poker</a>. Of course, this is ridiculous – video poker is a close cousin to slot machines, nothing at all like head-to-head games of Razz or Omaha. While video poker games are among the safest bets in any casino (provided you know how to pick a good game), a world of difference exists between Jacks or Better video poker and traditional ring games and tournaments of Texas holdem and seven card stud.</p>
<p>To clear up this misconception, here is a comparison of video poker to live head to head poker games.</p>
<p><strong>Video Poker: An Introduction</strong></p>
<p>To start with, almost all video poker games (and all the ones found at Internet casinos) are based on the rules of a single poker variant, five-card draw. These games exist on video screens and look more like slot machines than anything else.</p>
<p>The interface (touchscreens are popular in land-based casinos these days) is identical to slot play. A standard game of video poker runs like this – the bettor lays a wager (the games allow small wager ranges and strict betting limits, unlike head-to-head poker games) and the screen displays five cards.</p>
<p>The action begins when the player chooses one or more cards to discard and exchange for new ones. He can also choose not to discard any at all. A player’s payout is based on the value of their five card hand after the draw round. Winning combinations and pay outs are posted right on the machine virtual case.</p>
<p>Some games of video poker are changing to match new technology available to Internet casinos; the biggest new addition to the games is the <a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/progressive-jackpots/" title="Progressive Slots Jackpots Online" target="_blank">progressive jackpot</a>. The idea comes from slots, the closest game to video poker in terms of rules and style of play. These constantly up-ticking prizes come from networks of games connected across hundreds of websites running the same software. The idea is to get bettors to place larger bets per hand, so the progressive may require an additional credit to become eligible for the progressive prize.</p>
<p><strong>Video Poker is Not Head-to-Head Poker</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2067" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 130px"><a href="http://www.casinosonline.com/go/highnooncasino" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img class="size-full wp-image-2067" alt="High Noon Casino Video Poker" title="High Noon Casino Video Poker"  src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/high-noon-casino-video-poker.gif" width="120" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><a title="Visit High Noon Casino and collect your free $60 bonus!" href="http://www.casinosonline.com/go/highnooncasino" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #008000;">Play over 10 different variations of Video Poker such as Jacks or Better, All American &#038; Deuces Wild. $60 FREE No Deposit Offer!</span></a></p></div>
<p>Even though some versions of video poker offer good odds and the games are a ton of fun, they are nowhere near the same thing as actual Internet poker room play.</p>
<p>Besides the way the two games are played, they are dissimilar because of the lack of real poker strategy required to play online Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild. Five-card draw is not a common variant in ring games or tourneys, either online or in land-based poker rooms – you may be one of the best head-to-head poker players in the world and you won’t necessarily be good at video poker games.</p>
<p>Real poker strategy involves the psychological aspects of the game, betting strategies, reading your players and calculating pot odds. Video poker games pit you against, well, no one. No need to learn when it is best to hold a high kicker and a solid pair when you play video poker. It just won’t help.</p>
<p><strong>How Head-to-Head Poker is Different</strong></p>
<p>True head-to-head poker is essentially the same as a game you play at your buddy’s house or in a poker room at your favorite casino, except that it is played over an Internet connection.</p>
<p>Different online poker networks behave a little differently – not only are the visual aspects of online head-to-head games different (some shoot for ultra-realistic images, others are like cartoons) but the lineup of variants available, blind sizes, and tournament schedules vary as well. Still, the games of poker they host are the same as what you&#8217;d play in a casino’s poker room.</p>
<p>To add to the confusion, some Web-based casinos host both online poker and video poker games, though they are hosted in different areas of the site. Betfair Casino is a good example, a site that hosts traditional Omaha and Texas Holdem games in a poker room as well as classic video poker titles in their casino games section. You use the same bankroll stored in the same account to play both, but the customers drawn to the games are playing for very different reasons.</p>
<p>Head-to-head poker is totally dissimilar to video poker; it is easy, however, to understand why some players may see similarities or confuse the two. In parts of the world, video poker games may be the only option to get your poker fix. In fact, until head-to-head Internet games become a recognized way to gamble (the US market is currently undergoing some drastic legal changes at the level of state law) and their players are given the same rights as players in land-based casino poker rooms, it isn’t surprising that the average Joe has no idea what separates online video poker games from real head-to-head poker contests.</p>
<p>Put simple, online head-to-head poker is for legitimate poker gamblers that use strategy, pot odds calculations, deceptive tactics, and flop-reading skills to compete. Video poker is people who like casino machine games but don’t like the longer odds found on slot machines.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The casino software development company and well known marketing group SkillOnNet Limited are leading the way when it comes to 3D online slot machines, in fact they provide well in excess of 50 games to 12 casinos. Such is their impact that during April their online slots recorded well in excess of 100 million spins. Not a bad record for a company that is only eight years old is it?</p>
<p>Michael Golembo is The Sales and Marketing Executive for SkillOnNet and he had the following to say about his companies mightily impressive record. He said, &#8220;Our 3D range of online slots has always been successful, but the huge growth in April was astounding. 100 million spins on just five slot games is vindication that we have got it right and our customers love what we offer. It was the April release of wacky innovative SkillOnNet slot game Flip Flap that pushed the spin numbers over the edge.&#8221;</p>
<p>Flip Flap Shot was released during April and it was met with huge acclaim by players as soon as it was released. Speaking at the time of the release Michael Golembo said, &#8220;With its truly fresh and imaginative design this online casino slot game is already proving to be a winner!&#8221;</p>
<p>With Flip Flap Shot helping to break the 100 million spin barrier for last month it certainly is proving to be a winner, as are all of SkillOnNet`s latest releases. Golembo also said, &#8220;Good new games are what players want and good new games is what we give them. SkillOnNet`s aggressive release policy of one game per week is holding up with eight new titles in the last eight weeks driving more revenue and attracting new players.&#8221;</p>
<p>As promised another new game from SkillOnNet is due out any day now, with this particular offering entitled “Space Arcade”. If it proves to be as popular as Flip Flap Shot and their other latest releases there is no reason why SkillOnNet will not break the 100 million barrier for this month as well.  </p>

<p>Blackjack players have their own unique language, made up of special blackjack betting terms and game slang. The following list of terms is perfect for people new to the game of blackjack, or those who want to play blackjack in the casino but are overwhelmed by all the jargon.</p>
<p><b>Anchorman</b><br />
Blackjack players have slang for each of the positions around the table. The blackjack player sitting in the last position on the table, to the dealer’s far right, is the anchorman. The anchorman is also the last to act in any round of blackjack.</p>
<p><b>Blackjack</b><br />
Blackjack can refer to the game itself or a hand that wins automatically. A blackjack hand contains an Ace and any ten point value card.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bust-in-blackjack.jpg" alt="Bust in Blackjack" title="A Bust occurs when you hit over 21" width="180" height="118" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2099" /><b>Bust</b><br />
Any hand that totals more than 21 points is a bust, making the player holding that hand an automatic loser. Busting is what every player at the blackjack table is trying to avoid, while beating the dealer’s point total.</p>
<p><b>Card</b> <b>Counting</b><br />
<a title="Learn how to count cards in Blackjack" href="http://www.casinosonline.com/online-casino-strategy/learn-how-to-count-cards-in-blackjack/" target="_blank">Card counting</a> is a strategic way of keeping track of what cards have been played and what cards still remain in the deck. Card counting is usually a mathematical formula for remember what cards have already been dealt at a blackjack table.</p>
<p><b>Dealer</b><br />
In blackjack, the dealer is the casino employee who sits opposite the blackjack players and deals the cards. The dealer also participates in the game, and must follow strict rules governing his blackjack play.</p>
<p><b>Deck</b><br />
Blackjack decks are standard decks of 52 cards. Some games of blackjack use just one deck, others use multiple decks. The set of cards the blackjack dealer draws from is called the shoe.</p>
<p><b>Double</b> <b>Down</b><br />
Double down is a blackjack tactic that allows a player to double his bet after betting has taken place in exchange for drawing just one more card.</p>
<p><b>Early</b> <b>Surrender</b><br />
This rule available at some blackjack tables allows players to give up half of their bet as protection against a dealer blackjack, returning the other half to their hand.</p>
<div id="attachment_2059" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 130px"><a href="http://online.winner.com/promoRedirect?member=barca&amp;campaign=DEFAULT&amp;channel=90u&amp;zone=52299589&amp;lp=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img class="size-full wp-image-2059" title="Try Live Blackjack with Real Dealers - $1500 Welcome Bonus!" alt="Live Blackjack with Real Dealers" src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/winner-live-dealer-blackjack.gif" width="120" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://online.winner.com/promoRedirect?member=barca&amp;campaign=DEFAULT&amp;channel=90u&amp;zone=52299589&amp;lp=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #008000;">Play Blackjack Live! Take on a live dealer as you race to 21 in this all-time casino classic. Easy to learn, play and win!</span></p></div></a><b>Favorable</b> <b>Deck</b><br />
Any blackjack deck that contains more cards that are in the player’s favor is referred to as a favorable deck. The opposite is obviously an unfavorable deck. This is generally a card counter’s term referring to a deck with fewer small point value cards.</p>
<p><b>First</b> <b>Baseman</b><br />
A term related to seat position in blackjack, the first baseman is the player in the first seat of the table. The first baseman sits on the dealer&#8217;s far left, and is the first to act in any round of blackjack.</p>
<p><b>Flat</b> <b>Bet</b><br />
Blackjack bettors that place the same size bet each hand without varying the bets at all are said to be placing flat bets.</p>
<p><b>Floorman</b><br />
In any casino game, the floorman is the casino employee that acts as a supervisor, watching over the dealers to ensure fair play.</p>
<p><b>Hard</b> <b>Total</b><br />
Hands are said to be hard if they do not contain an Ace or if the Ace must count as one for the point total. The opposite of a hard total or hard hand is a soft hand, and basic blackjack strategy differs between hard and soft hands.</p>
<p><b>Head-to-Head<br />
</b>Head-to-head blackjack games take place at short-handed tables with just one player versus the dealer.</p>
<p><b>Hit</b><br />
When you draw an extra card, it is called a hit. Hit can also be used as a verb, as in the phrase “hit me.”</p>
<p><b>Hole Card</b><br />
The hole card in blackjack is the dealer’s hidden card. His other card, the one visible to all other players, is called the upcard.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/blackjack-insurance1.jpg" alt="Blackjack Insurance" title="Insurance normally pays at 2-1 odds" width="180" height="120" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2089" /><b>Insurance</b><br />
Insurance is a side bet in blackjack offered when the dealer’s upcard is an Ace. It is basically a bet that the dealer has blackjack, and offers terrible odds unless you are counting cards and have some knowledge of the likelihood of a dealer blackjack .</p>
<p><b>Natural</b><br />
Natural is blackjack slang for a blackjack, a hand made up of an Ace and ten point value card.</p>
<p><b>Paint</b><br />
The word paint refers to any card with a painted picture on it, meaning any face card: Jack, Queen, or King.</p>
<p><b>Penetration</b><br />
Penetration refers to how far into the shoe the dealer gets before he shuffles again. This term is usually used by card counters to describe how much play occurs before each shuffle.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.casinosonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/push-in-blackjack.jpg" alt="Push in Blackjack" title ="A Push occurs if both dealer and player get 21" width="180" height="120" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2097" /><b>Push</b><br />
A push in blackjack is a tie between the dealer and the player. Push means that neither the dealer nor the player wins or loses, with all wagers returned. A push usually happens with a value of 17 or higher.</p>
<p><b>Round</b><br />
In blackjack, a round is a complete series of plays where every player at the table and the dealer acts on their given hands.</p>
<p><b>Shoe</b><br />

Splitting pairs is a player option that allows you to break up identical cards and play them as separate hands.</p>
<p><b>Stiff Card</b><br />
Any cards ranked between 2 and 6 that usually force the dealer to take a hit.</p>
<p><b>Stiff Hand</b><br />
Stiff hands are made up of a ten point value card and any stiff card, for a total of 12-16. Since the dealer has to hit up to a point total of 17 in most games, and since there are more 10 point value cards than any other, a stiff hand usually leads to a dealer bust.</p>
<p><b>Surrender</b><br />
The surrender option in blackjack allows a player to give up half of his bet after the dealer checks for a blackjack.</p>
<p><b>Ten-Poor Deck</b><br />
Any deck that contains a small number of cards worth ten points.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the years online casinos have been quick to move with the times introducing hosts of new games that their customers want to play, but when it comes to how their customers can pay money into their accounts they have not been so quick on the up take. Until now that is. </p>
<p>The Asian gambling market is growing at a very quick rate and Asian customers are now able to deposit money into their casino accounts using their own local currencies, rather than the more traditional US Dollars like in previous years. Over the years major credit cards have always been accepted, as have debit cards and other popular payment methods like Moneybookers for example, but these options would only allow customers to deposit money into their account in US Dollars, British Pounds and in more recent years Euros. Also other currencies could be used as long as they were not Asian ones. </p>
<p>Online casinos now offer their Asian customers various different ways to deposit money into their online gaming accounts. Asiapay88 for instance is proving to be a popular choice of many Asian customers as it is now available at a number of different online casinos. Customers can deposit money into their account using Malaysian Ringgits for example, as well as other currencies like the Vietnamese Dong, Indonesian Ruppiah and the Chinese Renminbi.</p>
<p>Players in Thailand have recently been introduced to Asiapay88 as well as two other payment methods, with those being EcashAsia and PayBay which allows them to pay money into their online casino accounts using their own Thai Baht.</p>
<p>It is good to see online casinos catering for as many players as possible, especially the Asian market, as there are literally millions and millions of people in a number of countries who play at online casinos on a regular basis. By providing this particular service to the Asian people those numbers are likely to grow even more now they can use they own currencies to play their favourite casino games. </p>
