Top Online Gaming Experiences for iPad Users

29 April 2013

In theory, the iPad should be perfect for playing online casino games. The touchscreen interface is perfectly suited to making intuitive movements like pressing slot machine buttons or moving chips around a layout, and its shape and portability make it comfortable to use in almost any situation. Unfortunately, Apple’s on-going and slightly childish spat with Adobe means that their devices are incompatible with websites that use the latter’s Flash Player - which also happens to be the de facto standard for interactive online casino gaming. But fear not, brave casino gamers, as there are plenty of online casinos that have adapted their online offerings for the iPad gamer - here are what we humbly consider to be the best versions of poker, slots, roulette, and blackjack for Apple’s wonder-slab.

The Martingale System for Roulette

How to correctly use the Martingale System for Roulette to boost your bankroll

Playing roulette can be a lot of fun, but it’s even more enjoyable when you employ a bit of strategy to shake things up.  While strategies like the Martingale can’t guarantee you a win every time, and they can’t predict where that roulette ball is going to land, when they’re used with common sense they can help you capitalise on your winnings, and make games far more involving and exciting.

What is the Martingale System?

The Martingale betting system dates back to the 18th century, and is one of the best known roulette betting systems in the world. Known as a progressive gambling system, it involves players increasing their bets after each loss, while reducing their bets after each win. This results in the winning bet always paying off enough to make a small profit on the session and covering previous losses.

The Live Roulette Online Revolution

26 April 2013

Roulette has come a long way since the days of the Romans, who some believe originated  the game from watching the spinning wheels of chariots cast on their sides – while others claim that an early version of the game was brought to Europe by Chinese monks in the 13th Century.  

From its early days as a primitive game of chance, roulette has emerged as one of the most popular of all casino games.  And we have come a very long way even from those much more recent days when roulette was associated with the glamour of the casino at Monte Carlo or the bright lights of Las Vegas.  With the advent of the online casino and smartphone technology, you can now play Live Roulette on your iPhone or tablet to relieve the boredom of a train journey or fill an idle hour.

Single Zero Roulette Vs Double Zero Roulette

31 August 2011

Place your bets is the phrase you will hear in casinos all over the world, it is followed by a mad flurry of players trying to get their chips down on the table before the Croupier announces ‘Rien ne va plus’ a few seconds before the ball drops neatly into the winning number, well at least that is what they would say if you were playing French Roulette.

This is not the only difference that a player will find between a French Roulette table and an American Roulette table because the American game has a double zero on it whereas the French only has the one zero. Does this matter to the player?

It is all a question of percentages, and with American Roulette having the double zero it increases the house percentage by a fraction. Not a big fraction, but just enough to give the house that little extra advantage over the players. Does this really make a huge difference for the gambler?

Where and when was roulette invented?

24 May 2008

The game of Roulette is named after French word meaning “small wheel”. It is widely popular in casinos and on the internet. In the game, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, and them spins a ball in the opposite direction.

The ball rotates along the circumference of a titled circular surface until it eventually stops and falls into a colored numbered pocket on the wheel. The number of slots in the wheel depends on where you play roulette. If you’re playing in Europe, the wheel only has 37 slots, in America, it has 38.

All players may choose to place bets on a number to win, the color of the pocket, or whether the number will be odd or even. For the most part, the design is universally the same and the betting structure remains in tact.
