Trusted Online Casino Singapore gambling failing to reclaim public favor

Trusted Online Casino Singapore gambling failing to reclaim public favor

Posted on by Mock George

 

 

 

Casino gambling continues to grow in the United States, with more than 735 commercial and tribal casinos in 30 states producing $34 billion in revenue and employing 570,000 last year.

 

Yet Americans’ acceptance of this ubiquitous form of gambling remains below its levels of the mid-1990s, according to the American Gaming Association’s annual survey of “casino entertainment” released Monday at the Global Gaming Expo here.

 

Eighty-two percent of Americans said that casino gambling was either “perfectly acceptable for anyone” or “acceptable for others,” according to the survey of 900 adults conducted June 7-17 by Peter D. Hart Research Associates Inc. and the Luntz Research Companies.

 

In 1995 and ’96, public acceptance of casino gambling was at 91 and 92 percent, respectively. Since then, the number opposed to casino gambling has doubled to 16 percent.

 

“The pollsters said they were very interested to find out what happened,” AGA President Frank Fahrenkopf Jr. said. “In about 1995 the anti-gaming movement in the country really got organized. The good news is that in the last two years that (acceptance level) has plateaued.”

 

Fahrenkopf credited the 1995 creation of the AGA, which represents the commercial casino industry in Washington, D.C., and the 1999 release of the federal National Gambling Impact Study Commission report for stopping the decline.

 

“The casino side of the (gambling) industry came out very well in that report,” he said.

 

Eleven states have more than 425 commercial casinos, which excludes those operated by Indians and racetracks. Last year they paid $10.9 billion in wages and $3.5 billion in direct gaming taxes on Trusted Online Casino Singapore revenue of $24.3 billion, the AGA survey said.

 

The survey also found that:

 

[] 29 percent of Americans gambled in a casino during the past 12 months, 46 percent played a lottery and 21 percent bet in a sports pool.

 

[] The median household income of a casino customer was $50,453, about $9,000 more than the U.S. population as a whole.

 

[] 47 percent of casino gamblers have white-collar jobs, compared to 41 percent for the population as a whole.

 

[] 70 percent of casino patrons said they always set a gambling budget; 13 percent said they rarely or never do.

 

[] The educational profile of casino patrons virtually matches that of the population as a whole.

 

[] 56 percent said casinos bring “widespread economic benefits to other industries and businesses within the region,” 24 percent disagreed and 20 percent said they don’t know or refused to answer.

 

Fahrenkopf, in state-of-the-industry remarks to reporters, gave the industry “a good bill of health” regarding its stature in America.

 

“We’ve organized a strong cadre of support among legislators, and not just those in Nevada, and we’ve had great success in public education,” he said.

 

The AGA maintains only lukewarm opposition to Internet gambling because some members, notably industry giant MGM Mirage, endorse it.

 

“We oppose Internet gaming because there doesn’t yet exist the adequate technology to regulate and police it,” Fahrenkopf said.

 

Nonetheless, the AGA is developing an Internet-gambling “code of conduct” for its members. Casino executives are now reviewing the final draft, which should be released later this month, he said.

 

Two AGA members, MGM Mirage and former Resorts Atlantic City owner Sun International Hotels Ltd., two weeks ago received licenses to operate Internet casinos in the Isle of Man.

 

The last three Congresses have killed legislation to ban Internet gambling in the United States. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R.-Va., has succeeded Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., as the chief Internet-gambling opponent in Congress, Fahrenkopf said. Goodlatte is attempting to choke the industry by making credit-card gambling debts uncollectable.

 

“Discover Card and American Express already announced they would not take such bets, but MasterCard and Visa testified that they did not want to be the policemen of the Internet,” Fahrenkopf said.

 

A Congressional attempt to ban college sports betting in Nevada casinos was “on the backburner” even before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, he said. With Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., now the Senate’s assistant majority leader, “it will be much more difficult now to get that legislation to a floor vote,” Fahrenkopf said.

Aladdin reports another loss

Posted on by Mock George

The Aladdin reported yet another large quarterly loss Tuesday, though not as large as the one posted in the first quarter of this year.

 

Still, the $1.2 billion property is for the first time publicly discussing bankruptcy as a possibility.

 

The holding company of the 2,567-room Las Vegas Strip resort posted a loss of $20.4 million for the quarter ending June 30 on revenues of $76.8 million. In the March 31 quarter, the Aladdin lost $47.2 million on revenues of $73.7 million.

 

Cash flow rose 52 percent to $12.6 million, as table win, slot play and hotel operations all improved. But to keep up with just its debt payments, analysts say the resort needs to be producing closer to $20 million a quarter in cash flow.

 

“These numbers are abysmal,” said Andrew Zarnett, gaming analyst with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown.

 

Operations are showing some improvements. Most notably, the hotel averaged 96 percent occupancy and a $120 average daily room rate during the quarter, considered very good by mid-market Strip standards.

 

Table win shot up 39 percent to an average of $2,964 per table per day during the quarter — but this occurred primarily because the Aladdin’s hold was an above-normal 20.9 percent. And though the Aladdin’s daily win per slot was $93 during the quarter, up 7 percent, it remains below the Strip average of $125, Zarnett said.

 

“A large part of table improvement came from hold, which is a one-time event,” Zarnett said. “For Las Vegas, (the hotel figures are) a very strong rate and occupancy, but the leverage in the casino business comes off your floor. And $93 in average daily slot gross is abysmal for a megaresort in Las Vegas.”

 

The losses are mainly due to the Aladdin’s heavy debt payments, and the only way the Aladdin has been making these payments in recent days is with the help of one of its shareholders, London Clubs International. The company is now working on a deal with its bankers that should give the Aladdin some relief until Sept. 30, 2002.

 

The deal is expected to be cut by Aug. 28. But if it doesn’t come through, the Aladdin said it will be in default on an estimated $700 million in debt.

 

If default occurs, the bankers could immediately call in their loans on the Aladdin or initiate foreclosure proceedings on the Aladdin, the company said. If that happened, “(the Aladdin) likely would seek protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code,” Tuesday’s report states.

 

What is being worked on is a deferral of the principal payments on the Aladdin’s bank debt. From July 31 through June 28, 2002, scheduled debt payments now total roughly $80 million.

 

The Aladdin doesn’t have much cash on hand — just $9 million as of Aug. 7 — and it’s been able to make these payments only with the help of LCI. The Aladdin made an $8.8 million interest payment on July 31 — but made this payment only because LCI pumped $7.1 million into the company three days later. An additional $8 million in investments from LCI and the Sommer Trust is required by Aug. 28 under current credit requirements.

 

Under the new credit agreement, the Aladdin would still have to make interest payments, but not principal payments, on its bank debt over the next year. This would reduce the Aladdin’s expenses by $17.9 million. LCI and Sommer would still be required to continue putting cash  Togel Hongkong into the property, but only enough to make sure the Aladdin can keep meeting debt payments.

 

“Once it is approved, this amendment to our loan agreement would provide us with a full year of greater stability and the opportunity to enhance our operating performance,” Aladdin Chief Executive Richard Goeglein and Aladdin President Bill Timmins wrote in a Tuesday letter to Aladdin employees.

 

Discussions of “worst case scenarios” are required under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the two men said.

 

“It is important to remember that the company expects an agreement to be in place within the next two weeks that would provide us with the ability to continue our level of customer service and care,” Goeglein and Timmins wrote.

 

Still, it is a temporary fix. And on Sept. 30, 2002, those deferrals will come due as part of a $31.1 million balloon payment to the banks.

 

“The current performance continues to be bleak,” Zarnett said. “Should the deferral deals with the banks go ahead, as initially released, they would clearly have some breathing room to work on improving performance of this property and the company. Nevertheless, this is a band-aid approach for a much more serious problem.”

 

There are two major hurdles that must be overcome in the next two weeks. First, the Aladdin must get approval for the deal from the companies providing it with equipment and furniture lease financing.

 

Second, an unidentified creditor is demanding that the deferral agreement be brought to a vote of all creditors — and the Aladdin doesn’t have the approval of enough creditors to constitute a majority if a vote were taken. The Aladdin’s primary lender, the Bank of Nova Scotia, is saying this vote isn’t necessary.

 

But if one of the creditors hauls the Aladdin to court, there aren’t any assurances a judge would rule that the principal deferral plan was valid without a vote of all creditors, the report said.

NEVADA LEGISLATURE: Casino Malaysia Lawmakers approve measure allowing private gambling salons in casinos

Posted on by Mock George

It passed without recording an uptick on the political EKG machine of Carson City — a measure that will let Nevada casinos establish private gambling areas for their top customers.

The bill was designed to protect the privacy of the 100 to 200 elite gamblers who drop hundreds of millions of dollars annually at Las Vegas casinos.

They are accustomed to gambling in private casinos in Asia and Australia, away from the disbelieving eyes of the masses.

But in Nevada, these high rollers are forced to mingle with nickel-gambling fanny-packers.

That placed the Strip’s ultra-chic salon prives, as they’re known, at a disadvantage when competing with their Asian counterparts, industry representatives argued.

“We know for a fact that players tell us they’d rather go to Macau (in the South China Sea) or elsewhere that has the privacy they seek,” said MGM Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman. “These are substantial players, and they were telling us flat out they were choosing not come to come. They just felt more comfortable in a completely private area.”

So the Nevada Resort Association pushed the measure through with little opposition during the recently completed legislative session.

Casino bosses and their lobbyists argued that the all-too-public nature of gambling in the state put them at a disadvantage. But there was no lobbying group to counter that argument.

There’s no association for curious tourists or the locals who like to show out-of-towners the $100,000-a-hand bettors of Bellagio, The Venetian and MGM Grand.

Nevada gaming regulators and casino bosses like to say that the state has a reputation for offering wide-open gambling.

In a world of quick scams and hustlers, it’s best for everyone to know that Nevada casinos are on the level, the thinking goes.

The message: The folks dropping $1 a hand on Casino Malaysia blackjack play by the same rules as their $100,000-a-hand brethren.

“Now, casual gamblers will not be able to observe, and they might wonder, ‘Oh the rich people. They give them better odds … or some crooked people might be giving the casinos kickbacks,’ ” mused Bill Thompson, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor who studies the casino industry.

But things change.

Just look to the public flip-flop of the casino industry on the issue of online gambling. Three years ago it was viewed as bad, a challenge to Nevada’s gambling supremacy, and it should be killed by an act of Congress.

Last week, the state Senate approved a bill that would make Internet gambling legal in the state once the federal government determines its legality. The Internet measure was the session’s other major casino-industry-related legislation, and both are expected to be signed by Gov. Kenny Guinn.

The industry’s reasoning for pushing the online betting measure: It’s inevitable, so casino companies should embrace the potentially lucrative form of gambling.

For additional signs of change, look to Bill Bible.

Throughout the 1990s, he served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board and enforced the state’s prohibition against private gambling areas.

Bible forced Mirage Resorts to place glass on the doors to the high-roller room at The Mirage, so people could see what was happening inside.

As Nevada Resort Association boss, Bible lobbied for the public-to-private transformation.

“I changed my mind when I started to see what’s happening in the competitive environment,” Bible said. “I think it’s necessary we remain competitive in the international gaming market.”

The idea behind the state’s long-standing regulation requiring public access to all areas of the casino floor was simple, MGM Mirage’s Feldman noted.

“They wanted to ensure no one was keeping any of the (gambling) action away from taxation and government oversight,” he said.

But that changed with advanced technology that theoretically permits state gaming regulators to eye casino action, while sitting in their offices.

Meantime, the casino industry is now dominated by publicly traded companies that tout their revenue numbers, making it unlikely, Feldman said, that companies would want to hide their results from state regulators.

Ultimately, though, the industry’s argument returned to that competitive challenge, and anyone who believes it isn’t an issue, industry representatives argue, is somewhat naive. Even the Foxwoods tribal casino in Connecticut has a private gambling area.

But UNLV’s Thompson is convinced the state is about to lose something with the new law.

“It was about democracy and openness, and it meant everybody could see what was going on,” Thompson said.…

Togel Hari Ini Gambling reforms in lobbying stoush

Togel Hari Ini Gambling reforms in lobbying stoush

Posted on by Mock George

The Federal Government has watered down a national gambling strategy, according to members of the committee that developed it, some of whom are threatening to resign.

The government-appointed members have accused the Family Services Minister, Amanda Vanstone, of pandering to the gambling industry in the development of a draft

action plan to help problem gamblers.

They have accused industry representatives of delaying approval of the committee’s draft national harm minimisation strategy on problem gambling, which they said had already been agreed to.

Three members of the committee, the National Advisory Body on Togel Hari Ini Gambling, including prominent anti-gambling advocate the Rev Tim Costello, have threatened to quit.

They said welfare representatives had compromised as much as they could, but industry had been given an effective veto over the plan.

The Federal Government established the committee in April 2001 after the Productivity Commission report on gambling. The draft strategy would extend existing NSW harm minimisation measures and, if industry agreed, pressure the states, which have primary responsibility for gambling.

The draft plan includes a Federal Government commitment to work with the states towards:

A national cap on poker machine numbers;

Limits on advertising and access to cash, and uniform poker machine design;

Limits to light and sound

effects of machines;

Restricted reel spin speed and hourly loss rate;

$10 maximum bets;

A ban on note acceptors;

Restrictions on ATMs in gaming rooms; and

Community input into location and conditions of gambling venues.

Community and industry representatives approved the plan last month after more than a year’s work, but the approval process had stopped suddenly after industry lobbying, Mr Costello said.

National standards would force the states to act and help problem gamblers by restraining the worst excesses of the industry, he said.

The Howard Government had been committed to tackling the issue, but the responsible minister, Senator Vanstone, had failed to drive the issue and should be replaced, he said.

In a letter to Senator Vanstone, the three committee members, Mr Costello, Diane Gibson from Relationships Australia, and Chris Jones from Anglicare, Tasmania, say: “The Commonwealth has thrown away the high moral ground occupied by your Prime Minister and the Treasurer.”

The head of the Australian Gaming Council, Vikki Flannery, yesterday denied the committee had agreed to the strategy. She would not discuss the industry’s concerns with the plan, which she said was a confidential document.

It is Mr Costello’s second threat to quit the committee. In March he complained it was stacked with industry representatives after a counsellor started working with Jupiters Casino.

Senator Vanstone wrote to him last week saying she was “very keen” for the committee to finalise deliberations. “This will necessarily involve some compromise from both industry and non-industry members,” she said.

 

A spokeswoman said the Federal Government was “deeply concerned about the effect problem gambling is having on Australian communities”.

 

She denied Senator Vanstone was pandering to the industry. The Commonwealth gets no benefit from gambling, because revenue flows to the states, she said.

Time for Another Ethics Investigation of Reno’s Mayor

 

Is There a Need for A Full-Scale Ethics Commission Examination of the Reno Mayor?

(This updated letter was sent to the City Attorney on 6 Nov, 1997)

Following the Nevada State Ethics Commission ruling that Mayor Jeff Griffin was guilty of onflict of Interest in the matter of his business company having a contract with EDAWN (a local quasi-governmental entity), another matter has now come to light regarding the mayor’s ethics. You are requested to ask the Ethics Commission to again meet with Mr. Griffin to ascertain whether he is guilty of cronyism, nepotism, and abuse of his office.

Research indicates that the following points are factual:

  1. City of Reno funds have been awarded to a “Parmer” organization (having various business names) to facilitate certain tasks having to do with the 1998 meeting in Reno of the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM).
  2. Mayor Griffin’s son is known to have had past dealings with “Parmer”… and is reported to possibly have a current financial relationship with Parmer.
  3. Mayor Griffin was either solely or primarily responsible for the awarding of                 USCM-related city business to Parmer, outside of any bidding process, and without public discussion by the Reno City Council.
  4. This Parmer is not a sole-source local supplier for the involved services.

 

Mayor Griffin has, in effect, funneled large sums of public money to Parmer who has either employed the mayor’s son… or who pays him for some sort of contractor-type activities. This is an insult to Section 2.020.2 of the Reno City Charter and to certain state statutes… (with which you are more familiar than I) and the spirit thereof.

I questioned mayor Griffin on these matters several times at city council meetings. He first claimed not to know about the matters, but later said they were “… none of my business”.

Further points to investigate:

 

  1. City of Reno funds are being paid to Parmer incrementally… perhaps to avoid any single large check being issued to Parmer.
  2. Mayor Griffin and Parmer are friends.
  3. Parmer provided election campaign assistance to Mayor Griffin, Tom Herndon, and Bill Newberg.
  4. Parmer has a reputation as a Republican fund raiser. Griffin, Herndon, and Newberg are registered Republicans.
  5. Mayor Griffin (president) and Ardis Parmer (executive director) are key persons on the committee that is organizing the 1998 Reno meeting of USCM.
  6. Parmer is receiving City of Reno USCM-related funds for her business while, at the same time, serving in a key USCM-related position empowering her to request funding from the City of Reno. Parmer can, in her high committee position, take steps to have more public funding awarded to one or more of her for-profit companies.
  7. Mayor Griffin has taken no action to remedy this insult to good government.

 

A guiding principle for trustworthy public officials is to not just avoid impropriety, but to avoid actions that suggest impropriety. It is no wonder that public cynicism toward government is becoming more acute in Reno. Mayor Griffin’s city-hall type attitude toward integrity begs the perception: Nothing’s unethical… unless you get caught!

Should you not deem it appropriate to request an Ethics Commission examination of this matter, many Reno citizens will be greatly disappointed… and will be forced to pursue other avenues of recourse.

Sam Dehné, editor, The Reno Citizen internet magazine

Bettin’ Benny vs. Slow-Playin’ tokyoslot88 Seto

Posted on by Mock George

Last time, in Part I, I told you a little bit about Slow-Playin’ Seto. Slow-Playin’ Seto played in the first house game I ever played in. Wait, he didn’t exactly “play.” He sat there most of the night waiting for the nuts! Yet, night after night, Seto chalked up winning sessions. I learned how important discipline and patience are by watching Seto rake in the bucks, and I knew I had to do the same thing. Although it wasn’t easy at first, I was finally able to deal with the boredom of folding. It was from watching Seto that I actually became a winning player in the game. And just when I’d figured out everything there was to know about poker, in walked Bettin’ Benny … oh, boy.

 

Benny was very loud and intimidating. He was an Italian with lots of hair and a big voice. He also had a goatee, which made him look even more intimidating. His hands and neck were covered in lavish watches, rings, and necklaces. He’d played tokyoslot88 poker before for higher stakes than we were playing, for sure. We played with a $1 ante, $1-$5 anytime with anything up, and $10 on the end. It was a game in which nobody could get hurt too badly; losing $200 was a pretty bad night. That was soon to change.

 

Benny jumped right in and started betting and raising, appearing to throw caution to the wind. None of us had ever seen anything like it before. We were used to a game with a more normal pace. All of a sudden, the pots were twice the size as normal, and Benny appeared to be invincible. He didn’t often start with much of a hand, but by the end of the hand, he’d hit some miracle card and taken down another monster pot. He had all of us shaking our heads. Not only that, he convinced us all to make it $20 on the end – and $20 was a big bet to us, but not to Benny. Benny knew that, and he started betting the maximum all the time. After all, it was tough for any of us to call $20 on the river, as that was a buy-in! So, Benny exploited that, stealing pot after pot. Sometimes he’d get lucky and have the best hand, but other times he’d just bluff and steal the pot. I was dumbfounded. He won more money that night than anyone had ever won before in our house game – almost $700. Seto could never do that!

 

So, what really happened here? Was this guy that much better than we were? No, of course not. He forced us to play his game, and we fell right into his trap. He’d caught a couple of cards here and there and that sort of gave him a powerful aura. I never learned anything like it by watching Seto.

 

So, anyway, Benny too became a regular in our house game. Benny was the guy creating all the action, while Seto sat back and set traps for Benny to fall into. It was an interesting chess match to watch. Eventually, Seto got the best of those confrontations. I mean, Seto always had a hand, and Benny was always dancing around in the pot with nothing!

 

Benny also caused confusion. He made the game chaotic for everyone else, but apparently everything still made sense to him. What a powerful tool, I thought. If I just keep betting and raising all the time, no one will be able to figure me out – another poker epiphany.

 

However, Benny’s strategy wasn’t without holes. He was simply fighting an uphill battle by spotting Seto two wild cards every hand. The math would eventually come into play. Also, Benny’s act soon began to wear thin, and he was no longer feared by the others. It didn’t take long before Benny became a live one in the game – regularly dumping $200 to $300 a session.

 

So, was it all a mirage or did Benny have some poker talent? Talent he had, but unfortunately for him, he had no discipline. So, what could I learn from Benny’s talents? A lot. In the beginning, Benny’s table image was fierce; he was in complete control of the game. I wanted that. But Benny was a losing player. I couldn’t possibly learn anything from a losing poker player, could I? Oh, yes, I learned a lot.

 

So, here I was playing with Bettin’ Benny and Slow-Playin’ Seto. By now, I no longer gave Seto any action, while I’d call Benny with as little as a pair. I was no longer intimidated by either Seto or Benny. I realized that even though Seto won more money than Benny, he wasn’t much of a threat to me. He’d simply be a plugger, avoiding marginal situations and playing only with much the best of it. In a game full of tough players, he’d be easily read as a rock and get no action. Fortunately, the house game was good enough for him to show a profit. And what about Benny? Well, he was doomed. All the talent in the world wasn’t going to help him when steam was coming out of his ears.

 

When Benny was winning and on a rush, he really played well, making moves, and showing some discipline as well as creativity. When he started from behind, though, he was a lost cause. His face would turn beet red as he smoked his cigarettes frantically. It’s a shame, but loss of control is a common fault of many poker players. Seto wasn’t like that. He had control regardless of the cards he was dealt. I wanted that, too.

 

Seto’s strengths were Benny’s weaknesses, and vice versa. The two of them could have learned a great deal from each other. Seto could have learned not to miss so many bets and to mix up his play, while Benny could have learned to avoid some real trouble hands and turn things down just a notch or two.

 

I was open to learning, and my mind was always at work. Seto became complacent; he was happy enough just beating up on the blinds. He didn’t have aspirations of being a poker superstar or anything like that. Benny didn’t want to control his temper or read a book that could assist him in restricting his starting requirements. So, they were at a stalemate. Their ignorance didn’t allow them to learn anything new. Consequently, their games never improved.

 

These two players were instrumental in helping me form my poker philosophy. By combining their strengths and incorporating them into my game, it made me stronger. Later in my career, I learned to be open-minded when encountering new playing styles. Heck, if I learned something from Bettin’ Benny, I could learn something from anybody! Understand this: You will never master the game unless you realize that it can never be truly mastered. There will always be a new challenge to face; the learning never stops. That’s the beauty of it. So, open your mind, and the next time you play with an unconventional player, ask yourself this: What can I learn from this experience? Just be careful what you learn.

ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล Review of 101 Casino Gambling Tips

Posted on by Mock George

101 Casino Gambling Tips is two books in one. First, as its title suggests, it provides some suggestions intended to improve a player’s gambling experience. Second, it contains casino contact information, a list of toll-free telephone numbers for most of the casinos in the United States and a list of Internet casinos and their URLs.

Most of the tips Marchel lists are good ones, although none of them were new to me. Unfortunately, more than a few of them contain bad advice. For example, the author explains how to make a craps bet for the dealers, which is a fine thing. However, he lists his reason for doing so to “get the dealers and you on the same side against the house.” The implication is that this is will help the player win. Even though many people are likely to believe this helps, I believe it is the responsible gambling author’s duty to try to dispel such myths.

As another example, Marchel advises players to stay away from slot machines with more than three reels and to always play the maximum coins. Today’s slot machines hit various pays according to the results of their random number generators. Just because a five reel machine has more combinations than a three reel machine doesn’t mean that its top pay is more or less likely to hit. Also, I still see slot machines that have a jackpot ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล payout that is exactly proportional to the number of coins in play, in which case the house has the same edge regardless of the number of coins played. In both cases, as is the case in many other tips that I won’t cite here, the information the author provides is misleading at best.

Regarding the casino contact information, it seems pretty thorough, although I’m curious about some discrepancies. Most of the California reservation casinos are listed, but so is the Commerce, the large poker house in Commerce, CA. However, none of the other poker rooms are listed. The Alexis Park and St. Tropez in Las Vegas are listed, despite neither having a casino. Additionally, all the reservation casinos in North Dakota are listed, but so are two (and only two) bars that deal charity blackjack. Perhaps these are the only charity blackjack games that have toll-free numbers associated with them. Among the Internet casinos there are similar discrepancies, for example, Planet Poker is listed, but Paradise Poker isn’t.

The biggest downside with 101 Casino Gambling Tips is not the information in the book, but the niche in which it is competing. Steve Bourie’s excellent American Casino Guide contains what I believe to be much better and more thorough gambling advice and has far more information on casinos. It includes not just the phone number, state, and city, but the number of hotel rooms and approximate prices (if applicable), what games are available, casino floor space, and even more information. Additionally, a new edition of American Casino Guide comes out every year, which makes it more up-to-date, and both books have the same cover price. Therefore, I can’t recommend 101 Casino Gambling Tips because there’s a better book out there that’s more current at the same price.

Capsule:

At the same price, Steve Bourie’s American Casino Guide contains more and better information than 101 Casino Gambling Tips both in terms of gambling advice and in casino listings. Marchel’s tips will be familiar to every well-read gambler, and too many of them contain bad or misleading advice.

Sbobet: A Game of Mistakes

Posted on by Mock George

How often has this happened to you? You’ve mucked your garbage cards in early position and there is nothing left to do but to watch the other player finish the hand. Because you aren’t emotionally or financially involved in the hand, you can tell EXACTLY what everyone has.

It’s completely obvious to you that one player has the nuts, for instance. And you watch, fascinated, as another player bets into the nut hand with NO outs. To compound the error, the player who is drawing dead now calls a raise on the river to lose even more money.

Before the winner is turned over, you mentally call the winning hand to yourself, and are not at all surprised when the two cards you expected to see are revealed.

Why are hands so easy to read when you’re NOT involved? Good question!

Why are they so hard to read when you have YOUR money in the pot? Another good question.

Poker is a game of mistakes. The player who makes the least misjudgments, misreads and downright DUMB plays is most likely to go home with the cash.

I’m going to give you an exercise that is quite advanced for a change. Every once in a while you should be given a chance to go to another level of play. If you are like most players (myself included), you won’t be able to complete this exercise for long. At best you’ll only be able to manage a few minutes of the exercise before failing.

Here is what I want you to do. One night next week, before you get out of the car in your cardroom parking lot and go in to play, I want you to stop for a few minutes and concentrate. I want you to visualize yourself as you sit behind the wheel. As you see yourself, pretend that you are a director in a movie where you are the star. The https://www.simplylearnt.com/  movie is about you. Now you are NOT the player, you are the director watching an actor playing you.

Are you still with me? The person that is normally you, now is an actor playing you, ok?

For as long as you can maintain the exercise, watch yourself play poker from a camera angle just over your right shoulder. Within the picture frame, the camera can see all the players at the table and can zoom in on your hand when it is dealt to you.

Instead of you putting your money in the pot, you are watching an actor putting his chips in the pot. Now the camera follows everyone in turn around the table. From this detached point of view, suddenly everyone’s motives for acting are revealed. Including YOURS.

To your amazement, you will find yourself saying about the actor playing you. “Why did he do that? That was so STUPID! The guy in the three seat OBVIOUSLY has the best hand!”

Now as the director, you tell the actor that is playing you to throw the hand away. Of course, the actor does what he is told. The exercise is complete when the player in the three seat turns over EXACTLY the hand the detached, uninvolved you put him on.

You have now done what you couldn’t do before. You’ve played a hand as if you weren’t emotionally and financially involved. And you saved a lot of money.

Don’t expect to be able to maintain this exercise for long. It takes years of practice. But if you can do it even for a few hands a night, the difference in your play can be substantial. Poker will become a game of mistakes for the other players, not you.

UFABET

In the UFABET Spotlight – Casino Fortune

Posted on by Mock George

Sunny Group’s Casino Fortune has been online since 1996, but it underwent some rather drastic changes in March 2002 after Sunny switched its casinos to new software from Playtech. According to Nicole Green, Public & Media Relations Manger for Sunny Group, Playtech software was the natural choice because “it has a lot more player-friendly features such as multi-table, multi-player, a chat feature, and the ability to view Game and Transaction history without leaving the table. It really is state-of-the-art, 21st-century gaming.”

The revamped casino offers players the choice of download or no-download Flash versions, and a selection of 48 games that includes single-zero roulette and everything else you’d expect. But the quality of the games and casino features are what really deserve the attention. The graphics are superb, and everything from the cards to the tables and chips looks crisp. Card and dice movements are fluid, and card speed can be adjusted to suit your personal preference.

Features such as large or small cards, zoom on the slot UFABET machines, 10-cent bets, and a ‘double up’ option in Video Poker make Casino Fortune stand out. Links on the casino interface to the promotions page and customer service are unique, as are private group play and a chat forum hosted by the casino. Four-line Video Poker is another pleasant surprise that you won’t find at many casinos.

The other major change at Casino Fortune has been the addition of seven progressive games. There are five slots, one Video Poker game, and the new $500,000 Sunny Slots progressive, which is the second largest progressive jackpot on the Net. Not surprisingly, the progressives are quite popular and Casino Fortune players have won a massive amount to date.

Sunny Group plans to carry the momentum from the new launch into the future by adding more slots and continuing its 20% weekend bonus. Casino Fortune is definitely worth a visit if you want a top-notch gaming experience — or a chance to win more than half-a-million dollars playing the Sunny Slots progressive.

I usually enjoy playing at casinos with Boss Media software, and Pharaoh’s Casino is no exception. As you might expect from the name, Pharaoh’s uses an Egyptian motif complete with gold burial mask and hieroglyph-ics. That theme carries over to the games tables.

Pharaoh’s was smart enough to know that not everyone has a high-speed Internet connection and created a suite of play-for-fun Shockwave games to keep people busy while they’re waiting for the download to finish.

European roulette and single-deck Blackjack are nice touches at Pharaoh’s and you won’t see Killer Whale slots, which combine Video Poker and a five-reel slot, at every casino.

Progressive jackpot games are becoming increasingly popular and Pharaoh’s has three of its own: Gold Pirate Slots, Jack in the Box Slots, and Caribbean Stud poker. The Caribbean jackpot was at almost $110,000 when this review was written, and the other two were over $25,000.

Pharaoh’s offers a $30 bonus on deposits of $30 or more and a 10 percent bonus on local bank transfers. FirePay, credit card, and wire transfer are all deposit options, and Visa users will like the option of crediting their withdrawals directly to their cards — especially since there’s no limit on the amount you can withdraw.

It was nice to hear the dealer calling winning Pai Gow hands, and the new Jack In The Box three-line slot is much more entertaining than most slots. High rollers will also appreciate betting limits up to $1000. The bottom line? Pharaoh’s is a quality casino with several user-friendly features and a stable gaming platform that’s ideal for people who are more interested in substance than bells and whistles.
