Video Poker Benefits

Shad — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 02:17:20 +0000

Did you know that video poker can offer some of the best value in the casino? Read on to find out how.

Join Bet365 Casino to play a massive variety of video poker games and other casino games, plus claim up to $6,000 worth of bonuses each month!

To start with, video poker can have a very low house edge when you use perfect strategy. However, you will need to look for the right paytables if you want a good deal. Be sure to research the paytables for each game you play, and compare the ones available to the full pay tables. Once you have found a good one to play, be sure to memorise the strategy, as some video poker variants can actually give the player an edge!

Another benefit of video poker is that many games offer a Double or Nothing option on wins. This can be a fun bet to make and it should have no house edge. Presumably you are willing to take a risk on a fair bet, and Double or Nothing games can turn a medium sized prize into a big one.

Video poker is also very similar to a table game in complexity and entertainment value, while offering the speed of a slots game. You can play up to 100 hands at a time on some video poker games, which can be very rewarding when you hit a flush draw or potential full house.

Want to try video poker for yourself? Then join Bet365 Casino now and claim up to $6,000 in deposit bonuses each month.

Video Slots or Fruit Machines?

Shad — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 06:41:59 +0000

For long time gamblers, it can be hard to decide between the modern online video slots or traditional fruit machines. Read on for some help deciding.

Join Bet365 Casino today to try out a large and varied range on online video slots, including some in the 3-reel fruit machine style.

We’ll come right out at the beginning and say that we favour online slot machines. We have good reason for preferring them though, and we think you’ll agree with us in the end.

First of all, playing slot machines at home is far more convenient and cost effective than going down to the pub. It might be less social, but you don’t exactly chat when playing a fruit machine, do you?

Secondly, the jackpots for online video slots tend to be much bigger, at least on progressive games. We prefer playing for bigger prizes and we think you will, too.

Finally, online slots are just so much more advanced than fruit machine in graphics and bonuses. If you are going to play for a couple of hours, would you prefer the same symbols you see on every fruit machine, or would you like a little something different with animated symbols?

Join Bet365 Casino now to give online slots a try, and remember that you can claim up to $6,000 in bonus credit each month!

Are Side Bets Worth It?

Shad — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 05:39:06 +0000

Many table games offer side bets in addition to the main action, but are these worth the extra wager? We take a look at the advantages and disadvantages.

Join Bet365 Casino today to benefit from the many bonuses and promotions it runs, including $6,000 worth of bonus credit you can claim each month!

There are generally three purposes for side bets: jackpots, time killing, and added value. We’ll look at each type, why they are there, and whether you should touch them.

Side bets for jackpots offer the chance at winning a big prize if you get lucky on your hand. These are the kind of side bets you find in progressive blackjack, progressive Caribbean stud poker, or progressive casino hold’em. Generally, the house edge on these bets is fairly high, but the cost per hand is usually quite low and the jackpots tend to be high enough for most players not to worry about it too much. Play these bets if you like slots jackpots but prefer to play table games.

Side bets for time killing are found in games with delayed outcomes, mostly just craps, but Pairplus in tri card poker is also something of a time killing side bet, as it is decided immediately after your hand is dealt. These bets keep you engaged with the game, and also give the casino more opportunities to make money. The house edge can vary dramatically, so we suggest you consult a strategy table for your favourite games to learn which of these bets to make.

Added value side bets do not mean added value for the player. Side bets on blackjack variants tend to exist to give the casino some added value, and you can’t really spot them that easily. The only way to avoid these bets is to do your research before playing a new game.
