Internet Slots vs Real Slot Machines
Posted by Staff (02/09/2018 @ 1:36 pm)
Playing slot games is a great way to get your heart pumping.
But one question remains unanswered: which is better, online slots or real machines?
For convenience: online slots.
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of playing online games is the ability to play anywhere, anytime. Avoid the hassle and expense of travelling to an actual casino and instead enjoy easy access to your favourite slots on your laptop, tablet or mobile.
Being able to play slot games on your phone also helps you spend much less than you likely would in a real gambling venue. You can easily stop and log out when you’ve reached your budget, rather than feeling a need to keep on playing simply because you’re stuck inside a casino and the night’s still young.

Low rollers rule Las Vegas
Posted by Staff (09/07/2013 @ 12:12 pm)
The game is changing in Las Vegas. There are still plenty of incredible ways to enjoy the place if you’re a high rollers, but now the low rollers are arriving in droves. They love to party and hit the clubs, but they’re really not into gambling that much. Time has a story focusing on the new trend.
Vegas is packed again, but the casinos aren’t making the gaming revenues they saw in past years. We’ve discussed this many times, as the trends have been obvious.
One issue is that the casinos don’t cater to serious gamblers like before. The new corporate entities are so obsessed with maximizing every inch of the casino that they are flooding them with slots. Blackjack doesn’t get the attention we saw in the past, but this is one of the games that attracts people who like to gamble. The casinos have played with the rules way too much.
It’s harder for a group of guys who want to gamble as a group to find a table in the best casinos that will satisfy everyone in the group. Limits are too high, so while a casino might not want guys who play the $10 tables, their friends might be the ones who bet $100 per hand.
I think casinos need to think about catering to guys who love to gamble, and that will help create environments that attract more high rollers.
The Myth Behind Slots
Posted by Staff (07/27/2012 @ 1:52 am)
While not everyone goes to the casino, most people know what a slot machine is. These flashy, noisy games of chance are synonymous with casinos and are one of their most popular attractions. They appeal primarily to the recreational gamer who wants to experience the excitement of gambling without having to get too serious. Some people have even been lucky enough to win jackpots that number into the millions through slot machines.

Through all of this excitement about slot machines, there has been a great deal of speculation surrounding their function. Some people have a misconception that the house has “rigged” the slot machine to eat more money than it gives away in jackpots. As a result, there are many myths floating that can supposedly increase your chance of winning. In most cases, these “myths” are simply a waste of time.
For the most part, success in slots is a combination of luck and a few basic elements that will ensure you do not waste your time and hard-earned money. Below are a few of these elements to incorporate into your slot playing.
Determine What Kind Of Slot Will Suit You Best
There are a variety of slots available at most casinos. These slots range from penny slots all the way to slots that take multiple dollars per round. As someone who is just beginning, going the route of small change slots are your best bet. This ensures you do not feed too much money into learning the process of playing slot machines. Similarly, trying your hand at slots on no deposit required casino sites is another viable option.
Know Your Betting Limits
Ensure you know your financial limitations. Set a limit prior to playing and monitor that limit accordingly. When you find that you are approaching that limit with few winnings to show, it might be time to break and move to another machine.
Manage Time At Slot
Time management is a commonly overlooked tactic in slots. Generally, you want to spend an average of 15 minutes per machine. When you reach that time, you should have a good idea of how the machine is performing and whether or not it is time to move.
In all, there are many myths surrounding the slot machine. However, aside from a little luck, all you need is a few simple guidelines to ensure you play smart. In doing so, you will eventually win without having lost too much.
