The favorite casino games of blackjack, poker, slots, craps, baccarat, video poker, roulette, sicbo, bingo, you name it your bonus type and how much you would like to have fun with.

In the same sense, most bonuses are different as well. For instance, deposit bonuses may be different. The amount could be different and the requirements may be different. For example, you might receive a flat deposit bonus, regardless of how much you deposit. On the other hand, you may receive a matching bonus – up to a predetermined amount.

CASINO MOVIES

May 6th, 2010 by admin

Movies are an integral part of the media. It acts as a very good promoter of what it is based on. Added are the glitz and glamour factor to it, which makes it the most popular and best method of presenting something to the masses. There have been many movies centered on casinos and betting. Most of them have done huge at the box office and have become very popular.

Below are the best casino movies ever made:

1. CASINO (1995)

(Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone)

This is a brutal gangster story plotted around Las Vegas. Martin Scorsese’s movie is based on true events around a Las Vegas strip hotel. This is the story about how the mafia built the city and what happens when they start losing control of it.

Sam “Ace” Rothstein (DeNiro) and Nicky Santaro (Pesci) make it to Vegas in order to turn around the business at the Tangiers Casino. Ace’s wife, Ginger (Stone,) turns to Nicky when she finds herself dissatisfied with her marriage to Ace. The eternal triangle situation is getting out of hand, and at the same time the mafia is losing control over Las Vegas.

Tangiers Casino never existed, but the story revolves around the history of the Stardust Casino. However, many of the scenes were shot at Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

2. OCEAN’S 11(2001)

(George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia)

This remake of the classic Rat Pack comedy from the 1960s is as much an action movie as a comedy. Eleven professional criminals are caught for a heist against a bank with $150 million in the vault – All of it from three major Las Vegas casinos (Bellagio, Mirage and MGM Grand.) These casinos are owned by Terry Benedict (Garcia) who’s dating Tess (Roberts), the Ocean 11 leader Dan’s (Clooney) old girlfriend. This makes the whole operation even more personal.

Ocean’s 11 is an action thriller, and just as in the original, it contains some great acting performances from the Hollywood elite of its time.

3. THE COOLER(2003)

(William H. Macy, Maria Bello, Alec Baldwin)

Bernie (Macy) is what seems to be a bona fide looser. He works for the casino manager (Baldwin) who takes advantage of Bernie’s ability to change the luck for hot-streak gamblers at the casino. When Bernie meets the waiter Natalie (Bello) his life changes for the better.

Baldwin’s character is willing to go a long way to keep Bernie and his special skills at the casino.

4. CROUPIER(1998)

(Clive Owen)

This is an unusual portrait of the casino world. At least the part we are used to see on the big screens. Director Mike Hodge has created a story told from the dealer’s perspective. In contrast to many other casino movies, this story takes place in London, far away from the flashy Las Vegas neon strip. A cold and rough gambling world is presented to the audience, and the luxurious world of a high roller casino seems far, far away.

5. CASINO ROYALE(2006)

(Daniel Craig, John Cleese, Judi Dench, Mads Mikkelsen)

Le Cheriffe (Mikkelsen,) a bank professional with a connections to terrorist and also an excellent poker player, is trying to win a high-stakes poker tournament in order to pay back money he owes to terrorists. But at the table, a certain Mr. Bond (Craig) is doing everything in his power to stop this from happening.

Bond learns the hard lesson not to trust anyone, especially at the poker table. This movie is Mr. Bond’s first mission as a 00-agent, and he has not yet earned his license to kill in the service of Her Majesty the Queen.

This is certainly not the best Bond movie, but with some great action scenes both inside and outside of the casinos.

WIN THEM ALL

May 6th, 2010 by admin

You being a starter or a pro at the table there are a wide variety of games just to suit you. You can start by the easier games that don’t require a huge amount of knowledge nor a large sum to be put at stake. Any casino visitor can afford these. Once you know there’s no stopping you as you sure would try hands at the more exciting and thrilling ones.

The easiest and most popular game is the slot machine. The slots require small amount of betting. In this game you have to pull a lever to rotate a series of reels. The reels have different pictures on them. If one can line up the pictures with the pay line, he/she wins. The amount of win will depend on the pictures that land on the pay line.

Another easy game is the roulette. Here you only have to guess which number the ball would fall on and stick to once the wheel stops spinning. If you guess right the money is yours.

Craps is a dice game where you do require a bit of knowledge of gaming rules. You can bet in a variety of ways on the dice to win. It is a very exciting game.

Apart from these there are a number of card games played at the tables, the two most popular being blackjack and poker. The main thing in blackjack is that you are to get as close to 21 as you can using your cards. If you get over 21 you are deemed loser. The one having a set of cards closest in value to 21 wins. Blackjack is played against the dealer.

Unlike blackjack, in poker, players play against each other. It requires a lot of skill and knowledge. Winning in a poker is not an easy task.

Other than games at the casino, a wide range of online games are also available. One can choose from video slots, reel slots, baccarat, craps, roulette and keno. Each has a different level of difficulty associated with it but once you start your ability goes on increasing.

BONUS HITS

May 6th, 2010 by admin

If you want to make a killing out of an online casino, you must go bonus hunting. There are strategies involved but you should be playing smart.

The basic premise is simple. You deposit your money in your online casino account – for example $100. The casino you signed up at will give you an equal bonus of $100, and your account now jumps up to $200. You are required to play a certain amount before you can withdraw your funds. This is called the “wagering requirement”, which you’ll find on the Terms and Conditions page of each online casino. Say that at a particular casino you have to wager the amount of your deposit and the bonus money combined multiplied by 12 before you can withdraw any money from your account. Using the above example figures, this means you must place a total of $200 X 12 = $2,400 in bets before you can withdraw any funds. If it exists, wagering requirement is strictly enforced in all online casinos. If you withdraw any funds prior to meeting this requirement, you will usually lose the full amount of the bonus and any winnings from your play.

You need to know at first the basic blackjack strategy. (E.g. when to hit, stand, and double down). Next, deposit $100 and you will receive a free $100 sticky bonus (now you have $200 in your account). Enter a single hand blackjack table and start wagering $3. If you win, start a new hand with the same amount. If you lose that hand, double your wager ($6 now), and so on. Since most of the casino set their blackjack table’s limit to $100, you can only double your wager 5 times. As blackjack is one of the quickest games in casinos, after 15 to 20 minutes of playing without losing all six consecutive hands, you should win around $200, and the wagering requirement will almost be achieved and you can cash out (wager requirement is pretty low with sticky bonus). You might think this strategy is pretty simple, and that’s the beauty of it; it works, and works amazingly well with you having to do minimal mental work, winning in a short amount of time. Only one out of four times would we lose six consecutive hands before winning $200.

Bonus hunting is a patience game. Poker players who ‘bonus hunt’ have a tight and risk adverse style. They get in and out with their bonus money hoping to either break even or make a couple bucks at the tables. Their real profit comes from the bonus money they release at the end. So if you got the patience and desire to make modest amounts of money then bonus hunting might be something you should try.

To bonus hunt properly your style should replicate that of a tight solid player. After bonus hunting choose the poker site that rewards loyalty. Also pick a site that has some bad players. Happy hunting!

WANNA GIVE A BEATLES PERFORMANCE? CHOOSE EPIPHONE

May 6th, 2010 by admin

The Epiphone electric guitar is made with a select Maple body and top with F-holes, trapeze bridge, Mahogany neck (24-3/4″ scale), neck and body binding, two volume and two tone controls, and parallelogram inlays. The Casino Sunburst electric guitar has a beautiful full warm sound that only a classic semi-acoustic electric guitar of this quality can have. With its traditional classy double ‘F’ sound holes or ‘F-holes’, the tone the guitar delivers is second to none and still sounds quintessentially Beatlesque. Visually the vintage Casino Sunburst is a warm honey stroke amber Sunburst color with a nitro-cellulose lacquer high gloss finish. The Casino is also available in traditional antique ‘Tobacco’ Sunburst also.

Used extensively by George Harrison and John Lennon on the Revolver album the Casino helped to give these records their “electric” sound. The Beatles purchased three Casinos back in 1965. Paul McCartney even purchased a left handed model and played it on some of the guitar solos that appeared on Revolver. Fitted with two vintage P-90 single-coil pickups, the Casino still delivers those Beatle-esque tones at a price that almost every player can afford. The Epiphone Casino lent itself so well to the creation of the psychedelic sound that The Beatles were perfecting, so the guitars were used again when the band recorded their ground breaking Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album in the studio a year later in 1967.

The Epiphone Casino Sunburst electric guitar is a fantastic example of a beautiful sounding and good looking classic Sunburst guitar.
