Practicing card counting online

Now I’m not necessarily advocating card counting, because live casinos don’t like it when you card count. (I won’t tell on you if you try though), and I know that you can’t use card counting at an online casino. It just won’t work.  See, in order to count cards, you have to know how many [...]

Nevada revenue down for March

While how much money people spend on gambling may not seem like a big thing, it’s one of the things the world is watching to see how the economy is recovering. After all, gambling revenue indicates a number of key factors. First, it is discretionary spending, unlike say groceries or rent.  And money spent going [...]

Will New Jersey miss out on the online casino market

Things looked so positive for New Jersey and online gambling just a few weeks ago. It looked like everyone was on the same page as far as online gambling went.  Both houses in the state had passed the online gambling bill and though Governor Chris Christie had originally vetoed it, he was now stating that [...]

Bwin.Party goes to California

California: sun, sea, girls and maybe just maybe online poker. It’s been one of those California Dreams for a long time now. And while California legislators don’t appear to be moving quickly on the issue, players will be interested to learn that the online poker and casino giant bwin.party has made a jump into the [...]

Why pay out tables for casino games do matter

I was recently given a bit of bonus money by an online casino and invited to play any of the games on their site. Now, this is always a fun part of blogging about and reviewing gambling sites. I usually play games for free when reviewing them simply because I need to read and review [...]

Simplifying the craps table?

A friend mentioned to me just yesterday that he doesn’t play games like craps or baccarat because they’re so hard to learn. What surprises me is that this isn’t one of my slot playing friends, but rather a guy who doesn’t mind sitting down at the poker table. Now, in my estimation poker is actually [...]

Full Tilt Poker caught in endless rounds of rumors

So a few days ago we were all hearing rumors that Bernard Tapie’s name was on the registration papers for Full Tilt Poker.  Now it seems that an announcement has been made by Groupe Bernard Tapie that they ended the negotiations with Full Tilt because they couldn’t work out details on how to pay back [...]

IGT moves into Social Gambling

The question is now out – will social media be the next big push for online gambling?  Last post I wrote about Playtech’s plans to move into social gaming and the stock drop caused by some of their planned acquisitions.  While companies seem to have faith in social media, stock holders are a bit more [...]

Playtech plans cause a stock drop

Playtech is well known in the gambling community as a game developer and supplier for many top notch online casinos. I’ve played Playtech games and if you’ve gambled online for any length of time, there’s a chance that you have too, though the Playtech casinos have become scarce in the United States since the Black [...]

We’ve been hearing for months that they were going to take over and it seems that Bernard Tapie’s name is now on the poker room’s registration. [...]
