JackpotCity Casino is certainly among the most revered of the online casinos adorning the online gaming realm. Operated by Tower Rock Ltd out of the Gibraltar gaming jurisdiction, this world-class casino is easily the most popular of the Microgaming casino brands. Among others, JackpotCity Casino offers a wide range of games for players to enjoy – some 400+ games and counting. But for me it’s the options that make it all worthwhile in a flash no-download casino version and a full-casino download.

In addition to A-grade online slots, video slots, progressive games, card and table games, JPC is the number 1 provider of the big Microgaming-powered favourites in Mega Moolah, Thunderstruck, Tomb Raider and Hitman. But something else is brewing and it’s hotter than the lot…

Game weightings

karen — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:17:35 +0000

There is no universal system amongst online casinos about how all the various games are weighted. Traditionally you were required to play through your bonus 30 times before you could cash out according to a table of weightings. So for example if you played only the slots you would had to bet the bonus amount 30 times because this already has a high house edge (typically between 4 to 5 per cent). And if you opted to play a game with a much lower house edge, such as craps or baccarat, you would have had to wager the bonus 300 times since these already had a much lower house edge. In other words, in the past at least games are weighted according to how quickly you are expected to lose the bonus and as calculated so that you lost your bonus at a quicker rate than it became cashable. The traditional way has now been modified by many casinos. Obviously to increase your chances of winning, you are betting off choosing to play the games that are weighted to have better payouts provided you know how to play those games. For example, blackjack offers great odds provided you know how to play blackjack which is a tricky game of skill. I still believe that you can’t go past baccarat as its so simple (once you rule some of the admittedly confusing rules) and has one of the lowest house edges of all casino games.

Why you should check the slot pay table

Slots are one of the more popular games for players who are new to online gambling and want to try a game that involves less skill and knowledge. However, there is (or at least, should be) a lot more to playing the slots than choosing the game based on an appealing theme and your preferred betting options. You should learn how to read the pay table and take the time to do this every time before choosing which slot machine game to play. The pay table should be your absolute deciding factor about which game you ultimately play. Every game, whilst it may appear to operate in the same way, has a different pay out and you need to find one that most closely aligns with the way you play and the risks that you are prepared to take. You will find a link to the pay table somewhere on the screen and in the pay table all the symbols will be listed next to its payout in coins depending on how many of that particular symbol appears in a payline. Not all symbols have the same payout amount. If you play on a slot that only has a few symbols with high payouts, you either win or lose large sums of money. So if you are not a high risk taker and would rather play for entertainment for a longer period of time for smaller winnings, these are the slot machines to avoid. The average payout for a slot machine is 96 per cent.

Next Generation of Casino Reviews

Truly recommended place for reviews and ratings of online casinos is online casino reports, this guide features reviews that are just brilliant, the review page includes many features for each reviewed casino, for example you can find all the latest promotions along with wagering requirements, game previews, currencies accepted, languages supported, payment methods and special payment methods bonuses, information about the owners and the support team and also a high quality video review of casinos, here’s an example of the new 21nova casino review published by online casino reports along with other top casinos like europa casino, william hill casino club and jackpot city casino:

Progressive Roulette and No Zero Roulette

karen — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:42:23 +0000

A number of online casinos are starting to offer ‘no zero’ roulette these days and if you’re a lover of roulette, I suggest that you check these out. It’s exactly what it’s called – roulette without the zero meaning that you get even better odds. Less pockets on the wheel means better chances of winning, right? You may find, however, that some of the betting limits are lower so as to attract only serious bettors with serious amounts of money to with which to play.

Many online casinos (typically ones powered by Microgaming) are now also starting to offer progressive roulette. You might also come across a variant called ‘Roulette Royale’ which you play like regular European roulette but with a progressive jackpot component to the game. The jackpot is triggered by a side bet fixed at one credit and is placed automatically when you enter the game. The current value of the progressive jackpot is displayed on the screen during the game. To hit the jackpot, you have to hit the same number 5 times in a row. There are other payouts, however, for less than 5 in a row. The same number:

twice in a row pays $15;
3 times in a row pays out at $200; and
4 times in a row pays out at $3000.

its always interesting to watch the roulette systems out there, here’s an example:

Happy spinning and good luck at the tables!

Review of Jackpot City Casino

karen — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:25:17 +0000

Jackpot City Casino was established way back in 1998 and as we all know, the longer an online casino has been around, the more like it is to be reliable and trustworthy. There are over 300 games for you to chose from including all the usual table, card, poker and video slots that you’d expect. It also features a progressive jackpot (living up to its namesake!) which on average exceeds $2,000,000. New games are also released on a monthly basis so it’s a good idea to check back often. Jackpot City Casino is powered by Microgaming who, I think it’s fair to say, we have all come to know and trust! Jackpot City Casino has also just undergone a site renovation so if you’ve played here before, expect it look a little better and upgraded than last time you were playing. There’s also customer service support around the clock, 24/7.

Jackpot City Casino is frequently updating and changing its promotions to keep it fresh and lively but the one its offering at the moment, cannot be passed up. It currently has an incredible $500 welcome bonus with no deposit!! There are, however, a few catches: you only have 30 minutes to play for free and in that time you can’t stop! Also, to transfer any of your winnings to a real account, you’re required to make a small deposit of $20.

Responsible gambling

karen — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:15:33 +0000

I searched for and found some tips on how to gamble responsibly from the Responsible Gambling Council. I think anyone who enjoys to make a punt whether just every now or then or as a regular form of recreation, should check these out. Its a particular important site for players new to online gambling.

At the end of the day, if you don’t have the money or can’t afford to lose it, then simply don’t gamble. It’s just not worth it.

Online casino gambling is big, big business. How does one join? Especially if new – and this goes for anything, really – joining the online casino world is a big step. Big enough to be, at times, daunting.

Enter Onlinecasinospotlight.com. This online casino portal is a focused and informative center for players. Especially new players.

Spotlight’s articles and guides are well written and explain to players everything from why to play at online casinos (“In short, all you need to play at an online casino is a viable payment solution, internet connection and compatible computer”) and understanding the internet casino operation (“The type of players online casinos love is those who stick around and become regular customers”) through to three ways to avoid online casino scams and more.

On to the games. The Spotlight lists enough material in the form of guides on all major online casino games – poker, video poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, keno, bingo and slots – to have you, the player, and you, the beginner player, ready to roll the dice (or deal a hand, for that matter).

These help you improve your online gaming experience, not only in understanding the game rules and some strategies but in understanding the Game, the industry, what online casinos value and how your interests converge and pay off.

So for a read in your free time or to learn a new game in some greater detail before actually playing it for real money, a visit to the online gambling portal is the way to go and the site to visit. This, too, is something the Spotlight can help with, by providing top casinos, with some US focus, for players to join, with reviews to go along and bonus sums to pull you right in.

‘Cause who can really say no to $888 or $777 or %400 bonuses?

Maybe that can be the next article on the portal? Then again, it’s what we have just done here on Online Casino tips for you.
