Fruit Machine Chat

Those really cool Electrocoin Bar-X games that we've all been playing in our favourite fruit machine arcades are now available online. And better still, their expected RTP payouts are 94% and 95.16% respectively - which is much higher than the payouts you get in a land-based fruit arcade. I've playe...

Skycity Festival of Poker is on at present, with about a quarter million top prize. I watched Lee Nelson get beaten on Wednesday, but some other poker pros were still going strong at that time...

Anyway, worthwhile reading: http://beatthecasinos.blogspot.com/2009 ... poker.html

Good luck to all. why play just 3 numbers at 10GBP per number? Can you not play say 10 numbers at 1GBP each or some similar strategy to give you more chance to hit the numbers?

Free money is always good, but there's no excuse for throwing it away. Play small, play well, and take their cash home!

Did anyone else see the crazy Derren Brown's The Events on TV the other night, when he attempted to make 175000GBP for a TV viewer by playing roulette? http://beatthecasinos.blogspot.com/2009/10/derren-brown-beating-casinos.html Crazy show, and crazier ending than I expected. Was it all a big gamble...

I play poker about once a year - but magically managed to WIN from a field of about 70 people a VIP invitational tournament at my local casino.

The fact that I won that I put down to LUCK, not skill. So I do agree with those posters who say poker is a lot about Luck!

I'm not sure of thinking about it as a safety net... more a form of insurance. But I take you point.

Fact is on a good game like zero roulette, having an added edge is certainly not going to be hurting anyone.

Good luck to you all regardless. :-)

That's a very cool offer - thanks for telling us about it.

another day, another you tube video. yawn. :-)

You can get some free money to play PKR online poker if you are quick. ***Updated October: Sorry that deal is finished. But there's a new offer for Full Tilt Poker - $50 free: http://beatthecasinos.blogspot.com/2009/10/skycity-festival-of-poker.html Be very quick! It's another limited time offer.

I notice quite a few people mentioning that they think FOBT roulette machines are rigged here. As a former player of those, I concur. There were so many highly strange occurences on those virtual wheels when I played, that I can only conclude they were either rigged or just very heavily programmed i...

Doesn't sound great. Must admit. Although as you say 15 games is not a lot to judge it on... those things can happen - I found the same when playing a real game of blackjack in a land based casino the other day. I'd do a trial of say 100 games at a pound a shot, before making any firm observations. ...

Does this game have no TEN's in it?

Why only 12 cards and not the full thirteen?

I'm a betfair affiliate but also a betfair player of many years and I've had a good run on Zero Roulette. The main problem I've found is that you can only bet such a puny amount per spin (50GBP max). That means you can't cover all numbers (min 2GBP each) - so as a numbers player, you can never reall...

Casino odds are fixed by the type of game and its payouts, not on a per player basis. It would be illegal, online or in land based casinos for that to be any other way. Besides, no player would ever play if they thought that there was no chance to ever beat the house - and your thought on "fixe...

They shouldn't have to look busy, they should BE busy. Gambling at work is a definite no-no in my book. You're being stolen from (by the online casinos) and also stealing time off your employer. If people gambling at work get sacked, they bring it upon themselves. I've yet to see an employment contr...
