Online Casino Games: Which Do You Prefer?

2009-02-12T23:26:00.000-08:00

Blackjack is the most popular casino game, but which do you prefer?

Are you the kind of player who likes to relax and not have to think about strategy when you gamble? If you are, you probably prefer to play slots, keno or baccarat. Those online casinos have no strategy to them at all, other than trying to find the best payout percentage on a slot game.

If you like the challenge of a game that you can play to optimum strategy, you probably prefer games like blackjack and video poker. If you take the time to learn how to play each situation the proper way, the house edge that these online gambling have can be lowered. It takes effort to learn these strategies, but if you play enough it’s certainly worth your time to learn.

Three-Card-Poker and Pai Gow Poker are a bit of a mix of the two. There is a bit of strategy involved, but it’s easy to learn and remember.

Online Gaming Websites Gaining Ground

2009-01-04T21:39:00.000-08:00

Many corners of the globe are currently undergoing a financial crisis. Economical strain has brought an end to many industries. Of the ones that were able to survive, there has been a constant struggle for business to stay afloat. In this difficult financial time there is one industry that has been able to survive and even thrive to some extent. That is the gaming industry.

As the financial strain begins to tighten in other aspects of life, players start to look for an outlet. That outlet is the stress relief needed to deal with the pressures of life. Gaming industries have provided that outlet. It gives players a chance to escape the hassles of life and the financial strain even if only for a short period of time.

For a long period of time, it was the traditional brick and mortar internet casinos that produced the most business. Online gaming websites scored a close second in terms of revenue to their traditional counterparts. Recent studies have indicated that this could soon be changing. It appears that the online gaming industry is gaining ground on the traditional casinos. In some cases the online gaming websites are starting to pull ahead.

Industry analysts expect the online gaming industry to significantly pull ahead of the traditional brick and mortar fun casino by 2012. Throughout the last several years, online gaming has steadily increased up to as much as 4.8% each year. The traditional casinos meanwhile have only seen a 2.2% increase across that same time period. Online casinos are expected to reach a financial market volume of $24.4 billion by 2012.

One reason for this jump in financial leadership is the surge in online gaming popularity. Many players who frequent traditional brick and mortar casinos are learning about the convenience factors present with online gaming. There is no parking or traffic hassles that are often present with traditional brick and mortar casinos. Another convenience factor is the ease in switching between casinos. Online players can visit several casinos in a short period of time. This greatly expands playing options and increases the entertainment factor that brings players to the internet in the first place.

During a five year projection period, online gaming showed significant increase in many areas. Online poker and casino revenue figures will increase by 16% and 15% respectively. In this same time period, online sports increased by 11% as well. Other areas of online casino gaming such as lottery, slot machines and sports betting also show signs of continually increasing as well.

It may be good time to buy, sell a casino

2008-11-04T05:18:00.000-08:00

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- In the market for a free casino?

Now might be just the time. Or, if the economy worsens, in several months, when some earnings-poor gaming companies have loans coming due and find it hard to refuse some cold hard cash.

With downturns come bargains and with bargains come deals — and rumors of deals.

Steve Wynn, who's got cash and personal wealth to spare, dispelled some rumors last week. There's enough on his plate, with the opening of his Encore resorts in Las Vegas and Macau, to keep him from being tempted to pick up any casinos, he said.

MGM Mirage Chief Executive Terry Lanni wouldn't say much when asked whether he would sell off any pieces of the casino empire for some quick cash. (The company has $1.3 billion in loans due next year but launched a bond offering last week that may take out the loans.)

The company has a fiduciary duty to consider any and all offers, Lanni said. Oh, and yes, there have been offers.

Boyd Gaming, which put its $5 billion Echelon resort on hold amid the downturn, doesn't seem to be in a buying or selling mood. Shelving Echelon left the company with more than $2 billion on its major bank loan.

Chief Executive Keith Smith said Boyd, which recently purchased more than $100 million of the company's bonds, would "capitalize on growth opportunities should they arise."

Harrah's Entertainment and Station Casinos, which both went private in highly leveraged buyouts several months ago, could sell property or vacant land, if only because they have a smaller cushion of cash at their disposal.

Still, it's unclear how many deep-pocket buyers will emerge during an economic downturn with no end in sight.

A nonprofit health advocate that fights for smokefree workplace laws is taking aim at the casino gambling industry with an ad campaign appealing directly to decision makers.

The ads, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and running in gaming trade publications, come as Atlantic City officials delay a smoking ban there for fear of accelerating business losses to the downturn and to Pennsylvania casinos.

One ad features poker pro Tom McEvoy, who is part of a fledgling group, Gamblers Against Secondhand Smoke, attempting to gain support for a complete smoking ban in Nevada. In the ad McEvoy says, "My definition of winning? Live to play another day."

Jonathan Polansky, whose company, Onbeyond, created the ads, says they are intended to ease an "inevitable" transition to a complete smoking ban in Nevada.

The foundation funded similar, testimonial-type ads in restaurant industry publications that helped business owners realize their fears about losing business were overblown, Polansky said. The ads featured restaurant owners who explained how such bans saved them money, decreased liability and improved workers' health.

"The gaming industry is run by bottom line-oriented people who aren't going to be sentimental about the image of a cigarette hanging out of someone's mouth at the roulette wheel," he said. "That's not going to wash in the long run."

•••

After years of raking in profits by running mid-priced restaurants, some locals casinos are finding more of a sure thing in renting space to national chains.

Americans, after all, find comfort in big, familiar brands.

Starting in October, Boyd Gaming began replacing coffee shops and other restaurants at its Gold Coast, Sam's Town and Suncoast properties with TGI Friday's restaurants. Sam's Town added a Dunkin' Donuts months ago and the Orleans, which has a popular TGI Friday's, will add a Fuddruckers, Sbarro and Baskin-Robbins this fall. More national and local chains are ahead for Boyd-owned properties.

"We made a strategic decision to target some national brands because we think that's what the customer wants," Boyd Gaming Chief Financial Officer Paul Chakmak said last week.

Plus, he said, casinos benefit from the chain's national advertising, which brings people into the properties.

Farming out these restaurants has yielded a significant savings in operating costs, he added.

Station Casinos will open its Aliante Station casino next month with a TGI Friday's as well as a Dunkin' Donuts. Aliante also will have local chains Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen and Capriotti's as well as a Panda Express, Rubio's Mexican Grill and Johnny Rockets.

Forces combine to shrink casino revenue

2008-10-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

BILOXI -- The numbers released by the state Tax Commission on Monday confirm hurricanes and the economy were a double blow to Mississippi's gross casino revenue in September.

For the first time since February 2006 the total state revenue fell below $200 million, with combined winnings of $193.3 million from the state's internet casino.

The 11 Coast casinos won $85.6 million in September, down about 23 percent from $112.1 million in August 2008 and $111.4 million in September 2007.

Earnings at the Coast casinos were expected to be much lower because they were closed for four days for Hurricane Gustav. The Silver Slipper free casino was closed for about a week for Gustav and again for Hurricane Ike. However, the river casinos were also down 14.5 percent compared with September 2007.

"The interesting thing about hurricanes, even the threat for one like Ike, is that a lot of drive-in visitors will avoid the Coast in the days preceding and following a storm," said Scott King, director of research at the Gulf Coast Business Council."In the case of this year, the Coast literally experienced a three-week period where potential visitors were spooked by the 'possibility' of Gustav and Ike making landfall here."

Casino revenue historically has decreased in September on the Coast as the summer tourism season ends. This year it was compounded by national economic woes; Coast casinos have been forced to lay off staff.

Legal issues, not the economy, threaten the jobs of about25 dealers who left Hard Rock Casino Biloxi to take jobs at the Seminole Tribe's Hard Rock casinos in Florida. The Seminoles put the expansion of table games on hold while the legality of the compact between Gov. Charlie Crist and the tribe is worked out.

McKenzie said the last of the dealers who were hired for Florida finished working in Biloxi this weekend and none has asked to have his or her resignation rescinded.

The latest figures available from the Mississippi Gaming Commission show there was one more casino, but 263 fewer employees, at Coast casinos in June 2008 compared with June 2007.

Betting procedure and casino gaming games are usually not a good combination. In the betting structure, a positive progression betting is the one where the player increases his bet when he wins a round and when the player increase the bet amount even losing a round is known as negative progression system.

The difficulty with betting systems is that they are centered on whether the player wins or loses the round in the online casino game. There is no evident guide to the result in most of the fair games. A betting system called The Martingale is the one that necessitate the player to double his bet when he loses. As he wins, he loses the amount of the bet to its original stage.

The player will ultimately win and recover his losses is the theory behind it. Hence these Systems are enjoyable to regulate at free play sites, but don’t depend on them for big games that risk real money. Still No system has been developed which will give frequent profits for the participant.

The first thing any gambler should do before going to gamble is the planning of fund that should be used for gambling activity. Every triumphant fun casino player would advice you to make money management as it is a part of winning policy. The plan includes setting rules and sticking to them. The rules are connected with the period of time the player will play and the amount of money he want to bet in a desired game.

The limits that are set should be reasonable. The money required for gambling must be the one that is not essential in the player’s budget and simultaneously it must be the fund that the player can afford to lose. The aim of money management is to have a good time of enjoyment by guarding you from serious losses. The online casinos player will not have fun time in playing when his credit payment repeatedly disappears into a slot machine and thus a gambling problem is created.

Clever players control their losses by organizing the plan and having the self-discipline to follow it. When the time limit is reached and the player is on a winning line, he will have to follow his own principles and common sense. So the player should create his own rules and then stick on to them. So the money management plan will help the player from causing discomfort monetarily and sensitively.
