Internet Сasino

20/04/201816/09/2020 by Kim Starchenko

Internet casino – a fairly broad concept. Such institutions can provide access to a variety of gambling entertainment: from simple slot machines to roulette, poker or lotteries. Ways of playing also vary significantly. Most often, online casinos provide games on their website, but recently more and more players are using special downloadable clients for computers and laptops, as well as applications for portable devices (phones, tablets, etc.).

The main features of online gambling

Online casinos are fundamentally different from ordinary gaming establishments. The main feature of such entertainment is the use of random number generator to calculate any game results. Slot machines in the hall of ordinary casinos have a similar principle of operation, but the winnings in more classic games: poker, roulette, blackjack, etc. in real institutions depends only on chance.

Demo Games

Another important feature of online casinos is the ability to play slot machines for free and without registration. In classic casinos there is no such opportunity for quite understandable reasons. Their goal is to make money, so playing for free the visitor takes the place of the player for real money. On the Internet there is no problem with the number of seats or a limited range of games. Free game not only does not harm the business, and even significantly increases the interest of customers to the institution.

Availability

Today in the world there is a tradition to transfer all game facilities to special “game zones”. Thus, government agencies in many countries are trying to control the activities of gambling business. In this regard, online casinos look more and more promising and convenient type of entertainment. Availability of virtual projects is much higher than in the usual stationary entertainment complexes. Stable access to the Internet is now available to more than 90% of the population of developed countries. Therefore, it is much easier for a gambler to access the Internet casino than to go to a gambling zone.

Threshold of entry into the game online casinos specifically adheres to the low level. Minimum top-up amounts are often set at a few dollars. This allows you to attract a large audience.

High return rate

Each slot machine of the casino has a fixed percentage of funds returned to players. It varies depending on the manufacturer of the game. In ordinary institutions it rarely reaches 95%, but for online casinos this figure is considered to be the minimum.

Bonuses and other types of incentives

The specificity of virtual institutions allows them to offer various deposit or non-deposit bonuses and coupons. Also bonuses can take the form of a cacheback (refund of part or all of the money spent on the game for a certain period) or a one-time payment.

Particular attention worthy of lotteries online casinos. This is one of the most common types of attracting customers. Due to the high turnover of funds, many large online resources regularly raffle prizes for millions of dollars. This phenomenon looks like an unnecessary waste, but in fact, by attracting a large number of new customers, many times pays off the costs.

How online gambling works

In classic gambling such as baccarat, poker, roulette and even lotto, the result depends on a huge number of objective factors. For example, distribution in poker depends on quality of shuffling of cards, their casual distribution in a deck, sequence of distribution and many other things. Slot machines in online casinos work on a completely different principle. All slot results are generated by a special program – random number generator.

Video slots offline gaming institutions and online casino machines work on a similar scheme. Manufacturers embed in them their own random number generator, which constantly produce sets of completely random values. The program performs millions of operations per second and never stops. The product of its activity is a sequence of 64 numbers. At the moment when the “Spin” button is pressed on a slot, the program selects the currently generated row and already processes it to display the results.

Further processing of data by the random number generator is no less important for the player than the set of numbers generated by the generator. The point is that 64 values are often too many for slot machines. Most of them use only a few numerical results. So, for example, roulette gives the user only 1 number behind the back. That is why a series of numbers generator random numbers superimposed on a special matrix, which determines the result.

For example, a slot contains 3 reels of 3 rows of characters. For each reel, a random number generator will give you its own sequence of numbers. The program needs to select only 3 values, so it will be checked against the drop-down matrix. In the matrix, each character is assigned a certain position. In this case, because the pictures in the slot are less than 64, some people get more positions, respectively, and a greater chance of falling out. For example, the scatter and the “wild” symbol of classic slots will have only 1 position, while the “cheapest” signs will get 2 or 3 chances to hit the screen. Thus the slot matrix has a direct impact on its rate of return.

Unfair online casinos change the matrix in the source code of the machines themselves, thus lowering the rate of return. That is why it is important for players to pay attention to the availability of certificates of independent centers to check gambling software on the Internet casino website. It is also worth playing on slots of well-known manufacturers, as their products have the highest level of protection against hacking.

How did online casinos come into being

First appearance

The first platform for network gaming business was developed by Microgaming in 1994. Immediately after its release, the State of Antigua and Barbuda passed a bill that allowed for the licensing of online gambling. These two events gave birth to the virtual gaming business.

Together with Microgaming, the pioneer of online gambling industry is Criptologic. Criptologic was one of the first companies to develop special online applications and games. In 1999, they were joined by the famous developer Playtech.

Further development

Initially, the industry developed through betting offices and virtual counterparts of popular casinos. However, in 1998, there was another surge of user activity, which led to the emergence of a huge number of exclusively virtual projects. The reason for the boom was the development and widespread introduction of the “progressive jackpot” concept. Its essence was that some of the money lost by users was accumulated and issued as a jackpot. The amount of such winnings grew very rapidly and reached astronomical proportions, attracting the attention of an increasing number of gambling public.

Since 2001, gambling on the Internet has become one of the most promising and highly profitable. Competition between game software producers has increased significantly. This has played into the hands of users. The assortment of games has significantly increased and the quality has improved. Moreover, new gambling platforms generated more and more progressive jackpots. If in 2001 the maximum win was 415 thousand dollars, in 2002 the lucky player received 1.5 million dollars. To date, the amount of payments on the largest jackpots reaches 10,000,000 dollars.

Roulette Rules

Roulette has been played for several hundred years, and in the form in which we know it, we started playing it in Paris in the 18th century. Over time, the game has evolved and took a firm place in all modern casinos. Once the roulette wheel consisted of 31 sectors, and now it is 37 sectors in Europe and 38 in the United States, so your chances of winning depend on which side of the Atlantic you play.

The betting table is divided into two parts – internal and external, and on each of them you can make different types of bets.

The inner part is intended for bets on individual numbers or groups of up to 6 numbers located next to each other in the betting table.

The outer part is for betting on big or small numbers, odd or even, red or black (18 numbers each). Groups of 12 rooms (three “columns” and three “dozens”) are also available for betting here.

In addition, there are additional bets on groups of 7 to 17 rooms. They are placed on different segments of the wheel, but you can place your bets with a single click on the “rarestrake” – part of the roulette table, which shows the real wheel with the numbers in the same order as on the wheel, rather than in the order as in the table of bets.

Roulette varieties in online casino

Roulette – the most popular game of the gambling type. In recent years, there are many varieties of it, so you can quickly get confused. Despite the abundance of options, in fact there are only a few basic species from which all other varieties. These key types of roulette in the casino are described below.

French

This is one of the oldest varieties of this game, which, however, has not lost its popularity. It is from it other varieties have received their development. The French variant is characterized by the following:

This option does not use cash, only chips or special tokens that can be exchanged for money at a later date;
this roulette requires you to remember all types of bets very carefully, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to play. This is due to the fact that all the names are pronounced in French (in very rare cases, English terminology is used, which greatly facilitates the game);
when choosing a table, you should pay attention to the table of limits, it is this table that determines the minimum and maximum possible bets;
external and internal type bets are allowed to be placed by the players themselves, while the oral type can only be placed by the croupier after the player has made an announcement;
if the sector zero falls out, one of the two options comes up with bets on equal chances:
all of them shall be placed on the field until the next draw. If the zero sector falls out again or the bets lose, the income goes to the casino. If they win, the players get a refund without paying the winnings;
half of the stake is returned to the players.

European

The European version of this game is similar to French, the main difference that pleases many players is that this version uses English terminology, which greatly facilitates the game, because this language is international. In other words, the rules are similar and the essence is to guess one of the 37 numbers. Features of this version of the game:

casino price tags are used;
payment of bets is made with the largest, not the smallest;
equal odds bets similar to French roulette: the first option with them – they are “locked” until the next draw and are lost if you lose or fall another zero. The second option – they are returned to the players at 50% value.

American

American is close to the previous versions of the game and has similar principles. Of the individual features it is worth noting the following:

There are two zero numbers in this game: 0 and 00;
the general location of the rooms is slightly different from the previous versions of the game (French and European versions);
up to three croupiers may be at one table. The exact number depends on the total number of players at the selected table, i.e. the workload of the table. If there are several croupiers, they distribute the duties among themselves in an arbitrary order. The player only needs to know that the chips are exchanged only with the dealer who stands behind the wheel;
price chips are not used for the game, for bets are used special tokens of different colors. In the game each player at the table will have its own color tokens;
there are no bets of oral type in American roulette;
the players make bets on the field of play on their own, the croupier may do it instead at their personal request. Or the croupier may intervene in the process if a player performs incorrect actions;
tokens are collected by hands while in other kinds of game the collection is carried out by means of a special blade because of which the game is essentially slower;
payments are made from the lowest rate and further on increase.
American roulette in the casino
In American Roulette there are two sectors “0” and “00”.

Now you know the main types of roulette, which are popular in casinos, as well as some of their features. In fact, there are a lot more varieties in the world, but all of them are based on one of these three, and follow common principles.

Types of roulette online

In addition to the main types of roulette, there are other, less known varieties with a mass of bonuses and advantages. These include:

additional cells that increase the rate to × 500 – Mystery Roulette × 38 (presented by the developer Novomatic);
unusual slots, when hitting the ball on which you can play an additional game on the bonus system Triple Bonus Spin and Double Bonuspin (implemented by ITG);
thematic roulette with a cell for the bonus game, for example, based on Marvel Roulette comics (from the creator Playtech).

Dice in Casinos

20/06/201716/09/2020 by Kim Starchenko

What are Dice?

Dice are the basis of the game of sik bo or craps, so the choice of this seemingly simple object should be approached with all responsibility. You will not feel full pleasure from game if you use poor quality dice. And when it comes to gambling for money, here the use of inappropriate dice is tantamount to fraud.

Even in ancient times, gambling dice were made as works of art. Crystal, amber, peach bones and other improvised materials were used for making them. Nowadays, unpretentious plastic or wood is used.

Historically, the game of dice somehow did not take root in the post-Soviet space, so in our country can not produce beautiful and high-quality dice. In addition to aesthetic unattractiveness, these dice have an uneven seam. Often, the bones are produced fully square without rounded corners. Such bones do not roll and are not suitable for playing even in the circle of friends, not to mention gambling establishments.

Fortunately, in the modern age of high technology, high-quality bones, made by European technologies, can be purchased through the Internet, will deliver them directly to your home. My old friend once had a chance to buy collectible bones at a similar price. So I think, if you look well, you can find what you need, and at a very low price.

The good dice for casino games are always handmade in strict accordance with the standards. The error is no more than 0.0013cm. Such dice are quite expensive and a simple player does not need them, unless you are an aesthete or owner of a private gambling house.

For home use, ordinary bones with rounded corners are enough

By the way, our idea of dice as hexagonal dice with dots is very limited. Fans of desktop warheims use hexagonal dice. And hardcore fans are familiar with dice with 10 or even 20 faces. In addition, on these faces instead of numbers there may be different designations, such as time of day (day, night) or year (winter, spring, summer, autumn), weather conditions (sun, rain), various runes and the like.

Etiquette when playing dice in a casino

Etiquette. Yes, nowhere without this simple French word. Imagine that in the game of dice there is also etiquette, and in this type of casino games it plays a primary role due to the extensive communication between the dealer and players.

Let me tell you about the rules of etiquette, which I know about myself. And you, if you remember something, will share it.

When buying chips, do not try to give the dealer cash in hand. Put the money in a specially allocated place on the table and ask to “just exchange” it. Also remember that the dealer is forbidden not only to take cash from your hands, but also to give the exchanged chips to your hands. Wait until the dealer exchanges money for chips, and take the proper stack from the table.

Although some bets in the game of dice can be made by yourself, do not rush to do so always. Carefully study the rules of the game, and in cases when you can’t bet on your own, ask the dealer to do it politely, previously putting the necessary amount of chips on the table and then take your hands off the table. Put your hands off the table so that you will not be accused of stealing. Some “smart” players, you know, steal chips from their own opponents until they see. So your hands should always be in the sight of the casino staff, but do not touch the cloth.

When you roll your own dice, you should roll them to the opposite side of the table. And you should not roll the bones on the surface of the table, but throw them in the air.

When the bones are in a “suspended” state, do not let your emotions go overboard.

A few funny stories when playing dice:

154 consecutive batches

In the first story the chances to win were 1 to 1.56 trillion. Once, an elderly lady Patricia Demauro stopped by the Atlantic City Casino in the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, deciding to play dice. She had $100 in her pocket. Before this case, Patricia tried to play dice only once in her life, but, tired of slot machines, she took an orange cube and threw “for luck”.

After 4 hours and 18 minutes Demauro not only won all 154 games, but also broke the world record for the longest game of dice and the longest consecutive win. The woman chose to keep the winning amount a secret, but experts suggest that this is hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions. This is what luck means.

From victory to deportation

Many have heard the sad stories that happened to the players after they cashed their winnings. In the case of an Arizona resident, the problems began almost simultaneously with winning the jackpot at a local casino. The woman was happy to go to pick up her prize, but was asked to show her passport, which she did not have. A further survey revealed that she was in the United States illegally. The woman was not only denied a prize, but was also deported back to Mexico. Conclusion: Take care of legal identification to avoid such problems.

300,000 FedEx employees owe their jobs to the gemblings

Today, FedEx employs 300,000 people around the world. The transport company’s capital growth is $33 billion, and the personal assets of its founder and CEO, Fred Smith, are $2.1 billion.

If it weren’t for the blackjack party, the multi-billion dollar company might not have existed at all. In 1973, the company had $5000 in its bank account and $24,000 in debt. Thinking about imminent bankruptcy, Fred Smith decided to take the last money and try his luck in Vegas. Here, after the party, $5,000 turned into blackjack, and the amount was $27,000. It was on this day that Smith took the first step, which turned him into one of the richest people in the world.
