Not sure about live but my regular is http://www.paddypower.com, The casino section's got some interesting machines too, almost exactly the same as elvis s16, but you rarely win!

Yeah! The choice per game is anything from 5p to £5 on 9 winlines, so 45p - £45 per spin! Needless to say we only play 90p per game, £7,500 JP though, but somehow i don't think we'll ever get it!

We lost £80 in an hour which was enough for me

Hi PT et al,
I'm normally strictly quiz machines but thought I'd briefly share my extended recent blackjack experiences.
The plan was to take advantage of start-up bonuses and actually make a profit by playing 'perfect' blackjack-if you google perfect blackjack you'll get a fairly straightforward list of the correct option for any given hand.
I think most casinos, particularly 'american' ones are pretty wise to this and don't allow BJ or make the play through amounts ridiculous but there are still a few good deals out there.
The following will double your initial stake william hill, littlewoods, harrods, totesport,bet365 and there are many more.
you normally need to play c.20 times your initial stake before you can withdraw and generally speaking i've done ok although i've seen some really suspicious behaviour whereby the table seems to go in 'suck' mode and you can lose c.15 hands in a row which is wholely unlikely.
i would start at hills -it seemed to play fairly and if you use the link on this site the good people at fruitchat will get a bung as well!
apologies if this is all old news as i'm sure it is for many of you but i'd be happy to help further if anyone needs it.

Cheers for the pointers!

I joined Williamhill the other week by the link on this site and it is pretty good £5 lasted me for around 6 hours! The biggest from a slot machines was £3.40 on some sort of hidden feature at a 1p stake with 20 lines so it works out 20p a spin, Great fun and well worth the money just don't go betting money you can't lose.

Another top game is keno must of been playing it 2 hours non stop and made about £2

I'm yet to try the card games, I would of thought they work on some kind of %age?? This is the reason why i want to play with life people so you know your getting a fair game and a good chance for making some cash

from past exp... i would never play casino games online
they can tend to go on a very bad run when u place higher wagers its like its fixed worst online casino game would have to be black jack
but dont get me wrong i love BJ in a REAL CASINO

if u play small £1-25 u should have a good chance of making about £40-100

but if u try playing bigger wagers BOY its no fun at all

all the online casinos r the same based on computer calulated percentages

so i would much go to a real casino and try my LUCK

I prefer real casinos, as you can see the true game being played, and you know it is real and true; not a computer, which could win every hand for the house if it wants to.

if your going to play any online gambling, I really do recommend betfair zero lounge games, they have roulette, blackjack, video poker and baccart, at NO HOUSE EDGE!!!

Literally that means its you vs them, who is more lucky, personally done very well on their zero games

...

imo you'd have to be stupid to play elsewhere!

whats the starting bonus like? is there an invite bonus etc?

ob · Post by ob » Wed Jul 04, 2007 11:37 am

I'm not sure tbh, although you dont rack up points playing the zero games obviously as they are not expecting to actually make money on those games over the long term, so to get any bonus you have to play the non-zero games they have, which is the usual large range of casino games available elsewhere.

If you did acrue points for playing them, you could simply bet £10 on red and £10 on black every spin and rack up free points forever - remember theres no zero on the wheel so you couldnt lose.

There are no ‘good’ blackjack sites ffs – I am sick and tired of getting ripped off!! You know the story, time after time you get done even when you stick on decent scores of 18,19,20 – the thieving bastards still take your money or if they are generous give you a push. Same goes for roulette – you struggle to make a small profit while its as easy as piss to lose big time. Legalised robbery.

If you must play – do it in a real casino. Cant argue then as you see a decent shuffle.

Either way we are mugs.

Another sore loser ……..

I smell another debate coming on - in the same vein as the FOBT machines - rigged or not rigged?

But in case anyone wants my opinon - online casinos (reputable ones anyway) aren't fixed. Why would they need to be?

lol How about greed (we all experience that emotion ehhh?)? I mean if you can make x number of $£ profit or 100 times that - without anybody being able to prove anything - the perfect crime even! What would you do?

Lets face it - theres a lot of underhand stuff going on in all business today – its called maximizing profit. Even Bill Gates has been hauled before courts hasn’t he??

Sure I’m a cynical loser and so maybe a bit irrational – but what I’ve seen over the last couple of years I put down to more than just bad luck.

But what the hell - good luck to you all.
