Lucky Streaks in Online Slot Machines Tuesday, Nov 8 2011 

When playing online slots, you will surely encounter this familiar term – lucky streaks. Is there really such a thing as a lucky streak? For slot gamers, a lucky streak is an event where you get winning outcomes in a series of spins. Whether it is played in brick-and-mortar casinos or online, you will ultimately experience winning wagers in a row, and this is what is referred to in casino gaming circuits as a lucky streak.

You get a lucky streak if you win 2 spins in a row or three times in succession, four times, or if the lucky stars are really shining on you, win 5 spins in a row. But, does this mean that you can rely on such lucky streaks while playing slots in land-based casinos or online?

Lucky Streaks and Losing Streaks

These two forms of streaks are what most online slot players consider when playing the game. And while these events do happen on occasions, it is absolutely impossible to develop a strategy so that you increase the chances of getting into lucky streaks and avoiding losing streaks.

You have to remember the fact that losing streaks and lucky streaks, just like with all other spin outcomes happen completely at random, and there is no way that you can control the result of subsequent spins. This means that even if you get 5 wins in 5 successive spins, there is no assurance that you will get a winning wager on the sixth spin. Lucky streaks and losing streaks cannot be predicted, and there is no strategy that you can use to ensure that you maintain the winning streak or break the losing streak.

The outcome that you get when you play online slot machines is based on a random number generator, and the probability of a losing streak or a lucky streak is basically the same as the other outcomes in any online slots. It is pointless to track the results of several spins in order to determine any prevailing pattern in the occurrences of specific symbol or number combinations. Whatever you do, it won’t increase your chances of winning, and there is no way you can predict when a lucky streak will occur.

Slots Wagers and Lucky Streaks

There are instances where players increase their wagers when they feel that they are on a lucky streak. This means that some people are goaded by the results and increase their wagers after getting a couple of favorable outcomes. On the other hand, there are some slot gamers who resist the temptation and maintain their previous wagers even if they get into a series of winning spins. There is one important thing that you should remember every time you adjust your wager – you face a larger risk every time you increase your wager. You stand to lose more money if you place a larger bet. Thus, even if you are confident that you are on a roll, you have to think twice before you increase your wager, and you have to make sure that it is within your established budget.

On the other hand, some sectors take a position from a completely different perspective. Slots players can only improve their chances of winning bigger prizes if they are willing to raise the bar of their game and assume greater risk. There are online slot machines that come with bonus payouts for players who play with maximum wagers. When playing progressive slots, there is no way for you to get a shot at the jackpot if you are averse to additional risk and don’t make larger bets.

Basic terms used in online casinos (I) Tuesday, Feb 9 2010 

A number of terms used in the online gambling world have specific meanings. Novice casino players would be advised to attain a certain level of knowledge before beginning to play at online casinos for real cash. A basic knowledge as a beginner can help you attain a certain degree of advantage as a beginner.

Some of the basic terms –

All In – The term is used when a player puts all the remaining bets in and keeps nothing to themselves. Players do an All In when the opponents’ Bank Roll figures are higher

Banker – The person who is responsible for coordinating the game at the table between players.

Bank Roll – This is the term equivalent to the total amount of money available to a player. This is a figure available for view on most casino consoles, and should be kept a tab on.

Chips – Chips are round tokens which you may have often seen being used in land casinos. They are used as an equivalent of money.

Come out role – The first roll and all subsequent rolls in Craps, until a point is established.

Deuce – The figure 2 is used with the term ‘deuce’ in dice games and card games. It is just another term for the number.

Dime Bet – A betting (wager) of $1000 is called a dime bet. It is considered to be a very big bet.

Dollar bet – This is a similar term meant to denote a $100 bet.

Even money – If you make a gain of the same amount that you had wagered, the return is called even money. This is also denoted as a 1:1 ratio.

We will post more terms in the subsequent blogs.

Randomness Control in online casinos Saturday, Dec 12 2009 

An online casino game is considered to be worthy, just like in ‘brick and mortar’ casinos, if they run on systems with a fair randomness favoring no player more than the other. To ensure this casinos use the SHA – 256 Algorithm to randomize tokens between players. The algorithm belongs to the Secure Hash Algorithm family which is popular for its long standing expanse in the computing field.

The mechanism works at distributing the bookings across various player points so that no two generation of the driving variables gives the same value. This is done to ensure that the shuffling is true and there is no deck or card that favors a particular player or set of players. This algorithm generates unique codes and is also used extensively in authenticating important stuff in the internet traffic and is one of the algorithms used for similar purposes.

The players are facilitated with downloadable programs on many websites. The programs are used to compute the unique codes and players can check for themselves how authentically dealings are made for an online casino they intend to continue playing at. Fraudulent behavior by an online casino is easily traceable with such convenience in the player’s hands. There have been casinos that have been systemized to cheat the players with the operator’s ability to change the inputs. It is important to be wary of them, and make sure that the systems being used are not fraudulent.

It has been observed that some online casinos have indulged in rogue behavior disallowing them a long run of success. Surveillance bodies like the PWC and OPA do a good job in ensuring that no player gets a chance to complain. It is important to do your homework to find which casinos to avoid. Most of the available online casinos are fair.

Payouts at online casinos Sunday, Dec 6 2009 

 

The payout percentage is how much of the deposited money the online casino is paying out to its players. Most online casinos disclose it. A good payout percentage is something more than 97 percent, allowing the casino owners to keep back 3 percent of the deposited money.

It is important for players to be aware of the payout percentage before registering in an online casino. Payouts speak of the casino’s attitude towards its customers. The software regulation is set out at a particular payout percentage decided by the casino owners. Then the software runs to distribute exactly the payout percentage intended to its players.

The other thing to check is whether the casino is making a false advertisement of the payout percentage. Certified online casinos are usually more trustworthy than those which are not. The top certifiers are:

  • The Online Players Association (OPA)
  • PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC)
  • eCogra (e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance)

Some of the best percentages in the online casinos come from the Millionaire Casino, Caribbean Gold, River Belle Online Casino, Royal Vegas and a lot of others. The percentages vary from game to game, some having more than 100 percent and others less. The average payouts at these casinos are usually higher than 98 percent.

Golden Riviera, River Nile Casino, Aztec Riches, Vegas Slots, Captain Cooks and Sun Vegas Casino are among the ones with payouts in the 97% plus range. According to the 2008-09 rankings given by leading accounting firms to trustworthy online casinos, a good number of them are listed with payouts in the 96 percent range and the ones in the top ten, in the 97 percent plus range. Slots usually have a lower percentage payout than Tables and Poker, which have more than 100 percent payout in some online casinos like Gaming club and River Nile.
