Casino Safe Gambling
casino betting
So you think you’re ready to play at an online casino? If you’ve already done your homework then a little help from Lady Luck is all you’ll need. However, if you’ve simply been swayed by dreams of gigantic jackpots and cascading coins, you’ll want to take a moment to consider the following tips because, contrary to popular opinion, not all online casinos are created equal. In fact, the differences between them can add up to big winnings, or big losses, depending on where and how you play.
With more than 1,400 casinos currently online and more being added to the mix every day, finding the right one can be challenging to say the least. A little preliminary research can go a long way in helping you determine where to wager. To get the lowdown from those who are really “in the know,” start with the forums and message boards. Seasoned players have a lot to say about the casinos that pay out, and even more about the ones that don’t. Advertising is also a good indication of an established casino. Generally speaking, if a casino can afford to dole out big bucks on banners, chances are pretty good that they’ve been around for a couple of years and are a safe bet for your gambling dollars.
Before you make your first wager, get a feel for the casino. Any reputable online casino will offer free play. This is a great opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the layout and gives you a good idea of the quality of game play provided. Your hard earned cash is at stake here so don’t be shy. Put the casino to the test and contact customer service. Any casino worth its salt offers toll-free customer support and by calling, you’ll get first-hand knowledge about how the casino treats their players. Ask them about upcoming promotions, loyalty programs, payment options, security features and more. Would you buy a dishwasher or a car before inquiring about service? Hopefully not, and making a purchase at an online casino is no exception to this rule.
Now that you have narrowed down your list of potential venues, you might want to invest some time shopping for a comp. Keep in mind that these casinos are competing for your business and although most will try to sweeten the pot by offering a sign up bonus, a great number of these incentives, upon closer inspection, will leave a sour taste in your mouth. Whether it be a match bonus offer that will give you an equal number of free casino credits for every dollar purchased, a percentage bonus that will add an additional percentage of your deposit to your account (i.e. if you deposit $50 and the casino is giving a 50% bonus, then your total bankroll will be $75), or the much sought after no deposit required bonus that allows you to play with anywhere from $10-$50 free, terms and conditions will apply.
READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY! What it all boils down to is this: the casino will increase your bankroll “to get you in the door.” Once in, you will be required to “play through” that comp “X” number of times before you can cash out. Fair enough, just like you, the casinos are looking to make a buck, or at least break even on the cost of acquisition for a new player. Look for the play through terms. Around 6 times is reasonable. For example, on a $50 comp with a 6 times play through, you will have to place a minimum of $300 in bets in order to collect any winnings. The amount of money you wager can add up quickly. A good rule of thumb is that once you’ve met the requirements, cash out!
Most casinos will provide bonuses for first-time deposits only. However, many offer a loyalty program to reward players for consistent play. Like those in any land-based casino, these comp programs track every dollar you wager and reward you with a predetermined number of comp points that are redeemable for cash, credits, or, in some cases, vacations, collectibles and other prizes. If this sort of thing appeals to you, then once you’ve found a compatible casino, stick with it. You’ll be surprised at how quickly those points add up.
If you’ve made it this far then congratulations, you can put that all research behind you, you’ve found your online gaming home. Now that you’re ready to register, I strongly suggest providing the casino with one email address, and only one. Even if you have several email accounts, I recommend setting up one more to be used exclusively for all your online gaming activity, be it at one casino or many. If you give the casino more than one, even by mistake, you run the risk of being locked out. It only makes sense that, with millions of dollars at stake, the casinos must watch out for signs of fraud. Consequently, players who hold multiple accounts are often unwittingly flagged as potential bonus abusers.
Another crucial piece of advice would be for you to know your games. Basic knowledge will substantially increase your odds for success. A tremendous advantage online players have over players at land-based casinos is the ability to keep strategy books, cards, and/or tips on hand. Better yet, you can keep an online strategy program running in the background to guide you through a variety of gaming scenarios. Informed decisions result in more profitable game play.
Along the same lines, if a casino gives you the option of checking your “player history,” do so. This record includes information on every bet you make and the outcome of every hand (including yours vs. the dealer’s). Not only can you monitor exactly how much you’re spending, you can also analyze your play, identify your weaknesses and improve your game. If there is no online player history option available, a pad of paper and a pen will do in a pinch.
Finally, take a screen shot after every win, no matter how big or small. Should your computer crash or you drop your Internet connection, you’ll have solid evidence of your success. To do this, keep the winning hand on your screen, hold down the “Alt” key and hit “PrtSc” (Print Screen). Then open your graphics program (i.e. “Paint”), go to “Edit” and choose “Paste.” Save the image to your hard drive. When it comes to cashing out, a good offence is always good defense.
These tips cover the basics of online gaming but are by no means all-inclusive. Make it a part of your regular practice to consult forums, message boards and customer support and you can’t go wrong. Best of luck!

BLACKJACK GLOSSARY
casino betting
Action
Amount of money bet or "put into action" by a player during entire playing session.
Advantage
Player's expected rate of win or loss, usually given as a percentage of total money put into action.
Barring
Same as banning. Being kicked out of casino permanently. Not legal in Atlantic City. Does not necessarily imply cheating or illegal activity.
Basic Strategy
The entire set of optimal plays for any given hand as determined by computer simulation. Varies slightly under different rule conditions and different numbers of decks. Must be memorized before advancing to card counting.
Break
Same as busting or going over 21.
Burn Card
After cutting the deck and prior to dealing, the first card or few cards are not dealt, but moved directly to the discard tray, face down or sometimes merely placed under the deck face up. Prevents counters from seeing burn card.
Burn Joint
Slang for casino with nearly unbeatable rules.
Cage
Area of casino where cashier is based and chip buying and selling takes place. Usually surrounded by metal bars or other high security measures.
Capping, Capping of bets.
Placing extra chips on top of bet stack after deal has begun, to increase potential win. Serious form of cheating and relatively easy to detect with video surveillance.
Cheating
Illegal gain of advantage, technically defined as "altering selection criteria of a casino game." Includes card marking, capping bets, loaded dice, various sleight of hand techniques and so forth. Does NOT include card counting or capitalizing on house errors.
Cocktail Waitress
Alluring casino employees (and some not so alluring) who distribute free mind-altering beverages to blackjack players. Beware: these potions taste sweet but can destroy your card counting skills, and possibly your bankroll.
Early Surrender
Player may give up or surrender after receiving first two cards but before dealer checks for an Ace in the hole. If surrendered, only 50% of bet is lost, instead of entire sum. Excellent method for controlling player losses and therefore not allowed in most casinos.
Eye in the Sky
Slang for video surveillance cameras used by casinos. Often disguised within large plastic bubble. In some casinos almost every hand of Blackjack is recorded on video to detect cheaters as well as counters.
Face up/Face down game
Two different dealing styles. In face down game, player's first card is up, second card is down. In face up game, both cards are dealt up and cards are not touched by player-presumably to prevent cheating. Each style has slightly different table etiquette of play. Covered in BlackJack BootCamp .
Hard Hand
Hands without an ace, or with an ace valued at 1 are said to be hard in that they can only be given one value, as opposed to "soft" hands.

Insurance
Side bet offered when dealer shows ten as up card.

Taking the insurance bet is highly advantageous to the house, unless the player is card counting.
Las Vegas
Small piece of Nevada desert with mystic power to draw throngs of opportunists and induce them into tossing coins into rat holes made of either metal or felt.
Luck
Imaginary substance believed by many players to aid in winning. Should not be relied upon in place of skill.

Tell Play
Observing the dealer and trying to detect subtle body language and expressions that give away his hand.

Roulette Tips
for Casino Betting
The overwhelming majority of American casinos use a double-zero Roulette wheel. This wheel has pockets numbered from 1 to 36, plus 0 and 00, for a total of 38 pockets. Contrarily, in Europe a single-zero wheel is commonly used and Roulette has always been the most popular game in the casino.
There are usually six seats at the Roulette table. In order to help the dealer differentiate each player’s bet, every player is assigned a different color chip, which they purchase right at the table. Each table has its own minimum chip values and that information is usually posted on a sign at the table. As an example, let’s say a table has a $1 minimum chip value. This means that when you give the dealer your money the colored chips he gives you in return must have a minimum value of $1 each. Thus, if you gave the dealer $50 he would ask what value you wanted on the chips and if you said $1 he would give you 50 colored chips.
If you prefer, you could say you wanted the chips valued at $2 each and he would just give you 25 chips rather than 50. You can make the value of your colored chips anything you want and you’ll notice that when the dealer gives you your chips he’ll put one of your chips on the railing near the wheel with a marker on top to let him know the value of your chips. Later on when you’re done playing at that table you must exchange your colored chips for regular chips before leaving. The colored chips have no value anywhere else in the casino so don’t leave the table with them.
Besides the minimum chip value, there is also a minimum amount that must be bet on each spin of the wheel. Once again, the minimums are probably posted on a sign at the table and if it says $2 minimum inside and $5 minimum outside this means that if you are betting on any of the 38 numbers that pay 35-to-1 the total of all your bets must be $2. You could make two different $1 bets or one $2 bet, it doesn’t matter except that the total of all your bets on the numbers must be at least $2. The $5 minimum outside means that any of the outside bets that pay 2-to-1, or even money, require that you bet $5 each time. On the outside bets you can’t make a $3 bet and a $2 bet to meet the minimums - you have to bet at least $5 every time. After you’ve exchanged your cash for colored chips you’re ready to place your first bet so, let’s see what your options are:
You can make a straight bet where you only bet on one number and if it comes in you’ll be paid 35-to-1. The casino advantage on this bet is 5.26% and by the time you’re done with this roulette section I’m sure you’ll be very familiar with that number. Another choice you have is to do a split. This is where you put a chip on the line that separates two numbers. If either number comes up you’ll be paid at 17-to-1. The casino advantage on this bet is 5.26%.
If you put a chip in an area that splits 4 numbers this is called a corner bet and if any one of those 4 numbers comes in you will be paid off at 8-to-1. The casino advantage on this bet is 5.26%.
If you put a chip at the beginning of a row of 3 numbers, this is called a street bet and if any one of those 3 numbers shows up you will be paid off at 11-to-1. The casino advantage on this bet is 5.26%.
You can also put a chip on the line between two streets so that you have a double street covered and if any one of those 6 numbers come in you’ll be paid off at 5-to-1. The casino advantage on this bet is?... you guessed it...5.26%.
The only other bet you can make on the inside numbers is the 5- number bet where you place one chip in the upper left corner of the number 1 box. If any one of those 5 numbers comes in you’ll be paid off at 6-to-1 and what do you think the casino advantage is on this bet? Nope, I gotcha... it’s 7.89%. Actually, this is the worst possible bet on the roulette table and the only bet you’ll come across that doesn’t have a 5.26% house edge on the double-zero roulette wheel. You should never make this bet.
One quick word here about "to" and "for" when discussing odds. Whenever the odds are stated as "to" this means that in addition to the stated payoff you also receive your original bet back. In other words, if you won your single number bet in roulette you would receive 35-to-1, which is a 35-chip payoff, plus you’d still keep your original one-chip bet, so you end up with 36 chips. Now if the odds are stated as "for" that means you do not receive back your original bet. If the odds in your single number bet were 35-for-1 you would still receive a 35-chip payoff but the casino would keep your original one-chip bet so you would only end up with 35 chips. The only place in a casino where the odds are always stated as "for" is in video poker. You might also come across it on a couple of craps bets where the odds are stated as "for-one" rather than "to-one" in order to give the casino a slightly better edge.
Now, getting back to our roulette examples, let’s look at all of the outside bets that you can make and keep in mind that the house edge on all of these outside bets is...do you remember the number?...that’s right...5.26%.
There are three bets you can make that will pay you even money, or 1-to-1, which means that if you win, you will get back one dollar for every dollar you bet:
Red or black - If you put a chip on red then a red number must come up in order for you to win. If the ball lands on a black number, 0 or 00 - you lose. The same thing goes for black - you lose if it comes in red, 0 or 00 and you win if the ball lands on a black number.
Odd or even - If you put a chip on odd then the ball must land on an odd number in order for you to win. If it lands on 0, 00, or an even number - you lose. If you bet on even, you win if an even number shows up and lose if the ball lands on 0, 00 or an odd number.
1 through 18 and 19 through 36 - If you bet on 1 through 18, then you win if a number from 1 through 18 comes in and you lose if the ball lands on 0, 00 or a number higher than 18. Similarly, if you bet on 19 through 36, you win if one of those numbers comes in and you lose on 0, 00 or any number lower than 19.
The only other bets left are the dozens and columns bets. If you look at the roulette betting layout you can see three areas that each correspond to 12-number sections on the table. The one marked 1st 12 covers the numbers from 1 to 12, the one marked 2nd 12 covers the numbers from 13 to 24 and the other one that’s marked 3rd 12 covers the last section of numbers from 25 to 36. If you bet on the 1st 12 you would win if a number from 1 to 12 came in and you would lose if anything else came in, including 0 or 00. The same principle holds true for each of the other dozen bets where you would win if a number in that section came in and you would lose if anything else showed up. All dozens bets pay 2-to-1.
The last bet to look at is the column bet and that is also a bet that pays 2-to-1. There are three possible column bets you can make and you’ll notice that each area corresponds to the numbers in the column directly above it. So, if you put a chip under the first column you will win if any of the numbers in that column come in and you will lose if any other number, including 0 or 00 shows up. Once again, the same rule is in effect for each of the other columns where you would win if the number appears in the column above your bet and you would lose if it doesn’t.

Baccarat Rules
Baccarat (correctly pronounced "BAH-kah-rah") has long been a favorite card game of high rollers, but even many more budgeted players as well! The rules are incredibly simple and can be mastered in a few minutes. The object of baccarat is to correctly predict whether the banker's hand will win, the player's hand will win, or the game will result in a tie.
The value of a hand is determined by adding the values of its individual cards. Tens and face cards count as zero, while all other cards count as their numerical value. After summing the total, casino betting, only the last digit is used. Therefore, baccarat hands all have values from 0 to 9. The hand with the higher value wins. If the hands have the same value, the game results in a tie. Initially, both the banker and the player are dealt two cards. If the two initial cards total 8 or 9, the hand is called a "natural", and the game will end at that point. Otherwise, standard Baccarat "third card rules" (that Gold Club players need not remember) determine if a hand should receive a third and final card.
Winning bets on the player's hand are paid at 1:1 odds. A 5% commission is charged on winnings as a result of a bet on the banker, making the net odds on banker bets 0.95 to 1. A winning wager on a tie bet is paid at 8:1odds. If the game does result in a tie, bets on the banker or player are returned.
If you have an abundance of pure luck, then Baccarat is your game. Baccarat is played using a fixed set of rules for the player and the dealer. Calculations have been made that show the odds of the player winning are 44.62%, losing 45.85%, and tying 9.53%. Thus it would seem advantageous to bet on the house winning virtually every hand.
To even out the odds, the house charges a commission (usually 5%) on winning bets placed on the house. How should this change the way a player wagers?
Factoring in the commission, you are still slightly better off betting that the house will win. This assumes the commission is the usual 5%. However, should the commission change then you have to adapt your strategy. If the commission is less than 5% then it is always advantageous to bet on the house, while if the commission is more than 5% it pays to bet on the player winning.
Removing the tie hands in the event there is no payoff, the odds of the player winning are 49.32% and for losing 50.68%. For various commissions we can calculate the following average payoffs then, assuming 100 wagers of $1 were made.
4% Commission

Baccarat sometimes allows for a bet to be made for a tie, and sometimes doesn't (mini Baccarat typically played online usually does). Although the odds of 8 to 1 may sound appealing, it is considered one of the worst wagers in the casino, so don't bother making this bet part of your baccarat strategy.
You can test out your Baccarat strategies right now at Hotspot Casino. They offer a great version of online Baccarat you can play for real money or just for fun. They do allow tie bets and take a 5% commission on banker bets, a great rendition of Baccarat online.

Slot Machine Strategy
Slots account for the majority of a casino's action and winnings. They are simple to use, inexpensive to maintain, and require little attention or player skill.
TypesThere are many different slot machine games. Jackpot size, combinations, symbols, size and number of coins allowed in each play vary as well and . Included in these games are the popular video poker games. Modern slot machines are completely electronic. Symbol casino betting combinations come up randomly and machines are pre-programed to return a certain percent to the players.
House advantage: A slot returns between 85 percent and 98 percent, depending on the game, location and usage. The average house advantage is calculated to be about 9 percent.
General slot tipsRecognize the symbols that constitute a jackpot on your machine. All machines are different. Las Vegas attendants say winners routinely walk away from winning machines without waiting for the rest of the payout from slot attendants. The largest jackpots are all paid by attendants.
If you're lucky enough to hit an attendant-paid jackpot -- typically $1,200 or more -- do not touch your machine or leave it for even a second. Do not insert more coins or allow anyone to touch it. A slot attendant must come by to complete the transaction.
Always play the maximum bet. If a machine will take a bet of five quarters, place the five-quarter bet. This gives you the best odds of winning long-term if you get a good hand.
Hot tips slot players need to know Slots are the easiest and most popular game to play in the casino. Insert a coin, pull the handle, then reach into your billfold for more money. Unfortunately, that's what normally happens when the house has such an enormous built-in edge against you.
So popular are today's slots that they now constitute 70 percent of all casino action. The quarter machines alone takes in more in profit for the casino ($2.6 billion in Nevada) than blackjack, baccarat, craps, roulette, keno and the sports books combined.
Are there any sure-fire ways to win at slots? Absolutely. I will give you three.
Get a casino gambling license and operate your own slot business.
Invest in the solid companies that manufacture slot machines. Buy an antique slot machine and sell it when the demand increases.
Otherwise, if you're one of the 70 percent willing to do battle against these cybernetic one-armed bandits, some of these slot tips below will help you overcome the casino's huge house advantage.
Sorry, I can't guarantee that you'll become an instant winner, because it's tough to beat a house edge that generally runs well over 10 percent, but it also doesn't have to be so tough on your bankroll. So, let's get started.
The only true skill to playing slots is machine identification. Example: progressive machines offer the opportunity to compare and shop around for the best value. One 25 cent ;slot machine carousel; can have a progressive jackpot of $2,600, and another bank of machines- exactly the same and standing side by side-$1,900. You should always be looking for the best slot opportunities possible.
Casinos will advertise machines that have a 98.5 percent payback. WOW! A casino game holding just a percent and a half, and on a slot machine no less. But there's a down side. If you look closely at the advertisement, it will probably say ;on select machines.; Furthermore, it probably won't be posted on the machine itself, and it will generally be limited to a single bank of machines in the casino. Now it becomes your responsibility to find them. Easiest way: Ask a slot employee, and if he or she doesn't know, have one of them ask a direct supervisor.
Casinos give away millions of dollars in comps each year, and as a slot player, you deserve your share. Repeat, you deserve your share. How? Casinos now offer you the ability to ;comp yourself; by using one of their player's club slot cards. It's generally based on the number of coins you cycle through a machine, so you might as well get credit for all those quarters you're inserting. Shop casinos for comp value and find out what you're worth to them.
You always want to treat ;comps; as a form of profit, but you never want to gamble just to receive them. It's much better to play a 98percent payback machine and increase your winning opportunities than play machines with a poor return that cycle more of your coins. Remember, you're there to stay in action and possibly win, not lose your bankroll for a free buffet.
If you can't afford to play the maximum amount of coins, you shouldn't be playing that denomination of machine. If dollar slots are too rich for your blood, drop down to a quarter machine. It's always better value to play five quarters versus one dollar or five nickels instead of one quarter.
I recommend not playing back the credits you've accumulated. Cash out and take stock. The problem with playing back credits is that the longer you stay, the machines built-in advantage eats away at them. It doesn't take long to zero out.
Can't decide which type of slot machine to play? If you're going to choose between video poker and slots, play video poker. Even poor play on a video poker machine will have a better payback than most slot machines.
Before you walk away from a machine, don't forget to press the cash-out button. Millions are lost each year by gamblers forgetting their winnings (stored credits).
It is your responsibility, if destiny favors you, that you receive full payment when hitting a jackpot. Even with some relatively small jackpots, if the slot is short coins in the hopper, you'll receive only a partial cash payment in the tray, with the balance to be paid by a slot attendant. If you were to insert more coins and pull the handle, say bye-bye to the remainder of your jackpot.
Read all the posted material on a slot machine. It is your responsibility to fully understand all printed information concerning the number of coins to insert, lines needed to be lit, prizes or awards. In most cases, when someone calls a slot attendant over and complains the machine ;just ripped me off,; that individual generally didn't read the pay schedule correctly.
When you insert coins, don't assume all the tokens register before you pull the handle. Played five but only four recorded? Sorry. You'll get a sympathetic pat on the back from the casino, but no money.
Avoid machines that use video representations of symbols. With these slots, there is absolutely no way to figure out what the payoff percentage of that machine is.
Most casinos will hold a slot for you while you go to the restroom, take a short break or even go on a buffet run. Just ask a slot supervisor to reserve your machine and give a specific time when you'll return.
Don't chain yourself to a cold machine, even if it's your favorite. Why? Because the longer you stay on any slot, the more time the machine's built- in mathematical advantage has to work you over. This is how casinos build megaresorts, time always working on their side and a mathematical edge on each and every slot.
Even though you're only playing slots, you still need to set a loss limit on your bankroll for both your trip and each individual gaming session. Divvy up your wad per playing session, discipline yourself and stick to it.
When searching for high payback machines, ask a few employees where the local players find the best slot value. Simply put, locals don't play dog machines.
Leave both your credit and bank teller cards at home so you will not be tempted with the easy convenience of getting cash. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
Finally, I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that all slot machines consistently pay. They pay the casino's rent, the light bills and all the employees' salaries. They also pay millions of dollars in profits to casino owners and stockholders. You the player just so happen to be on the low end of the food chain.

Blackjack - Online Edge
In other publications, you will hear about gaining an edge through card counting, or by figuring out the Random Number Generator that a casino game uses. This is, in our opinion, a complete waste of time, and instead you should focus on how to improve your edge through more traditional online casino betting means.
The best way to increase your edge playing online blackjack is to shop around at casinos, and look for the casinos that pay out the biggest bonuses. Most casinos will match your original deposit anywhere up to 100% of your initial deposit, up to a certain amount of money. Also, many casinos will offer bonuses just for playing a certain amount of time. Shop around, and look for the best bonuses, and the casinos which have the best reputations. Ignore the casinos that offer huge bonuses if you haven't heard anything about them.
The best way to increase your online edge is to gain a thorough understanding of the game of blackjack, and study the game. Through a combination of bonuses and traditional means (being a good blackjack player), you can gain an advantage over the house. Ignore those talking about counting cards or figuring out the random number generator used by the casino.
