Going to the Bingo Hall

January 26th, 2012

Bingo is a relatively simple game played for both fun and gambling. Most people begin playing Bingo as young as grade school. Of course, in grade school it is about winning a prize, not betting. However, the same thrill applies when one gets close to filling in a row.

In gratis Bingo, players can choose to play one or several cards. One’s odds are quite simply the number of cards played compared to the total of cards in play. If one plays five cards at a time and the number of cards in play is 100, he or she would have a five percent chance of winning. However, to achieve these odds, one cannot miss a number or break a rule.

The rules to Bingo are quite simple. Every card has BINGO written across the top. Under the letters are five spaces for numbers. No card includes the same number under a letter. Each letter has 15 possible numbers. For instance, the numbers under B can only be 1-15.

Every bingo game has an assigned caller. Most bingo halls have 75 balls in a machine similar to Powerball lotteries. Each ball has a letter accompanied by a number, such as B-14. If one’s card has that number, they mark it out. The point of the game is to have an entire line of marked out numbers, or five in a row. The five numbers can be diagonal, horizontal, or vertical.

However, many versions of the game exist. Sometimes, the player must mark every number on the card to win. Other versions include four corners, X, four squares, and checkerboard. Bingo’s excitement is hard to put into words, but having one or two cards nearly completed is very exciting.

Online Poker Player Used Virus To Win

November 28th, 2011

It is unfortunate that some people (including those playing at online casinos) will go as far as cheating to try to win. However, that is just what happened when an online poker player from Germany decided that he would stop at nothing to win. The player (whose name has not been released) was in the middle of Pot Limit Omaha in Baden, Austria when he out dueled respected players (such as Nicki Jedlicka, Patrik Antonius, Ilari Sahamies and Juha Helppi) with the help of a virus. He used the Trojan horse virus to view his opponent’s cards and swindle them out of $390,000.
His furious opponents located the German poker player in his hotel where they forced a confession out of him. Unfortunately, once the police had arrived the online poker player stated he did nothing of the sort.

Stories of cheating and unfair practices soil the good name of many reputable online casinos and give online gambling a bad rep. People will reconsider using online casinos and poker games seeing them as a way for thieves to swindle them out of their money. If the player does not feel as if he can trust the online then he is more likely to go elsewhere for his gambling needs.

The police are still conducting their investigation, digging deeper into the online poker world as well as online casinos, searching for evidence to put the thief behind bars. I hope that this will show potential cheaters that this type of behavior is not only unacceptable it is also punishable by law.

Mass Senators Try to Increase Community Role in Casino Licensing

September 22nd, 2011

Legislators in Massachusetts have filed amendments to a proposed expanded gambling bill. The bill Massachusetts is considering would allow three casinos and one slot parlor spread throughout the state. Developers would need to submit proposals to the town they want to build in and the town would put the issue to vote. Senators are disagreeing on the value of the casinos and how to best protect communities so that they get a chance to have their voices heard.

However, the current bill doesn’t require much more than a vote by the town as to whether or not they want the businesses. The Legislators that have filed amendments want voting to happen on a state or local election to ensure a large voter turnout. Some of the amendments that have been filed would require at least one public hearing to be held in the host town before the vote happened so that voters can be educated on the proposals. Other amendments ask that residents of surrounding towns within a 5 mile radius be allowed to vote or that all employees of the casinos be provided health care by their employer so as not to be a drain on state programs. More than a dozen amendments have been filed and many more are expected in the coming days.

Some opponents of the expanding gambling bill are questioning the economic impact and job creation that the supporters of the bill say the new casinos will provide. Supporters of the bill say that Massachusetts can expect $300 million in tax revenue from the casinos, something the state desperately needs. Legislators will need to get all of their proposed amendments in by September 26th, as that is the soonest the Senate can take the bill to the floor.

The excitement is unequaled when a player hits the number on which he has put his stakes at. It is fabulous to win, but very bad to lose. To avoid losing there are fortunately for players a number of do’s and don’ts for online roulette.

First of all, a big don’t for players is to spend their money on programs and roulettesystems which are designed in order to cheat the game. These programs are illegal, do not work as listed and it would be a pity to loose quite some money on them.

A do for a player is to adjust a betting limit each time you play at the roulette table! This rule works for all gambling games but roulette is a game where the chances are hard to predict. Never cross over your limit and especially don’t try to win back money you have already lost in previous games. The smartest thing to do is when you are reaching you betting limit, is just to leave the game.

The most important thing to remember is that the game is all about fun but however, it is great to win some money. Whether you are in a real casino or play online roulette, keep up a relaxed attitude. A frustrated loser is nowhere appreciated and when you get too much upset at the roulette tables, the casino will kick you out.
