Slots amateurs ask the following question very often: is there sense of choosing a necessary suitcase (purse or package) during the bonus game?

This simple question seems to be very rather difficult. Firstly, let’s clarify the essence of the question itself. The majority of people are interested, whether the random number generator determines beforehand the sum of bonus and the result of the prize game irrespective of the chosen subject or not. As it is known, we choose any subject on the screen of the bonus game, the slot machine opens the corresponding bonus sum and shows, which winnings have been hiding under the unchosen subjects. At this moment many players begin to think that they have failed to win this sum of money, because the random number generator determines earlier, which winning will be. And now we can make a conclusion that it doesn’t matter, which subject we choose, bonus will be the same according to the wish of the slot-machine.

We have prepared for you a series of questions and answers that can debunk all myths and delusions in respect of slot machines. What exists in reality and what is the result of paranoid imagination of players? You can find answers to this question in this article.

Invention: Online casinos can just use a special switch to reduce the probability of winnings, while playing slots. Owners of casinos use such a method, when a lot of players win or casino is packed with players.

Reality: The so-called switch is the most stable myth in the world of slot machines. But in reality owners of casinos don’t have such buttons on their monitors to change the program of winnings of slot machines. Besides, the owner of software and the owner of a casino are absolutely different people who are interested in different things.

Adhere to the main rule, while playing progressive slot machines, and the success will be definitely on your side: Always play by the maximum bet i.e. having armed with a maximum number and maximum face value of coins in a progressive slot machine, only then press the button “spin”. Otherwise it will be a great pity for you when you realize that saving on bets hasn’t given you a maximum progressive jackpot at online casino, because you know, this winning is the most attractive target, while playing in progressive slot machines. Is it worth spinning barrels, if you don’t struggle for your goal?

For beginners it is necessary to explain, how it is possible to make a maximum bet in a progressive slot machine. The formula is rather simple:

Maximum bet = maximum number of coins + maximum face value of coins.

Casinos offer gamblers the opportunity to take risk of their money and in case of luck to leave the casino with a considerably large sum of money.  But it is not the exception that, while playing games you can both win and lose. However it can seem to an experienced player that he or she loses more, than wins. In reality it is difficult to meet people who assume that they run a surplus after a long session of games at casinos. Why does it happen so? Why are so many people unlucky, while playing at online casino? May be, are there any secrets in the world of gambling we don’t know?

Casinos offer hundreds or even thousands of slot machines. However these slot machines are not similar, but they are based on the general rule that is as follows: the bigger jackpot is, less chances you have to win. That’s why try to find slots with good payouts, following the main prize.  And remember that it’s much easier to win the prize of middle size.

In usual casinos slot machines with larger bets, for example, $1, $2 or $5 have a large interest rate of payouts in comparison with cheaper slots. This occurs, because casino needs to withdraw fewer dollars to get profits, than in casino with cent video-slots.

Card-counting at Baccarat is not only one wrong strategy that is mentioned in a lot of books about Baccarat systems. More often card counting is said in connection with Blackjack, where this system can be rather efficient if you use it and choose the right casino properly. From the first sight why isn’t card counting efficient, while playing Baccarat? It happens so, because at Baccarat all played-out cards return into the pack, before enough number of cards has been played out. And that’s why there are always difficulties in respect of card-counting. Besides, according to rules of Baccarat unlike Blackjack a player is not allowed to change bets in the middle of the game. At Blackjack such things can be permitted in some special cases and a player can increase a bet, if the counting is changing. Card-counting at Baccarat very seldom can give advantages, but as a result such efforts don’t bring success.

While online games exist, every time gamblers try to create the improved system of games that leads to winnings without fail. Most of all systems were developed for Roulette and there is no wonder that it is one of the most attractive online games. And the most popular system nowadays is called Martingale. Despite the fact that it has been recently disproved, any beginner likes to use it. Other famous systems as Tomas Donald, Titanic, Oscar Grind, Whittacker are built on the mathematical statistics, but no one guarantees 100% winnings or even absence of losses. However some players don’t take into consideration zeros in their calculations; others disregard restrictions of the minimum and maximum bets.  And all these factors above lead to inevitable losses. Besides, in order to use these strategies it is necessary to have the sum that is 3000 times more, than the initial bet i.e. by minimum bet of $5 it is necessary to own $15000 in order to have the chance to win this sum back.

By its nature bonuses are divided into two main types: usual and sticky, or so-called phantom bonuses. Naturally, usual bonuses are those that can be withdrawn from the online casino and, of course, they are more preferable. Everything is simple here: having fulfilled all wager conditions, you can withdraw both your winnings and your bonus itself.

For example, you have made a deposit of $200 and got 100% bonus as $200. The required wager amounts to 12х (Bonus+Deposit) i.e. 4800$. And in this case 380$ remains at your account. You order the withdrawal of all money from the casino’s account on your card and in 3-5 days 380$ are on your card. But nowadays sticky bonuses have become popular. Their name can be explained by the reason that you can never withdraw this bonus money, bonus sticks to the casino for ever.

Everybody has ever heard about such a term as “the point of breakeven” – the percentage of predictability, after having it reached the player quits losing. May be, many of you even have read about the influence of financial strategy on this point, when others are absolutely sure of  that the use of such a strategy as flat can lead to positive results. Let’s see what the famous gambler and the theorist said regarding this system:

“The biggest mistake that losers make while making bets, is the constant change of sizes of bets. This can give you a guarantee of big losses and it doesn’t matter what causes different sizes of your bets – it can be instinctive, spontaneous, thoroughly worked out decisions or complicated progressive systems. Let’s consider popular progressive systems and see why they sometimes lead inevitably to losses”.

1.    Be a realist. Casinos always have house edges and that’s why you should be ready to lose. If you naively think that casinos were made for people, you will be rather shocked, having lost all your money. It is better to have unexpected winning, than a sudden loss.

2.    Don’t rely upon the opinion. Always make a mathematically better decision. On the side of players there is clairvoyance, parapsychology, astral and energetic forces. But the casino has the mathematical advantage. And who wins as a result? Making mathematically proper decisions, if you don’t win, try to make your game much longer.

Players have 4 bad habits, and each habit separately from others can guarantee a loss even before his or her beginning to play.

1) An attempt to win back. The following proverb can explain everything “The father didn’t beat his son because the latter had played, but he beat his son because the latter had tried to win his money back”. Players who want to return their money are the best friends of casinos. Remember that you play not only for entertainment, but also for the purpose of winning money. Before beginning to play establish the limit of losses that you can afford and also the expected size of winnings and try to adhere to these limits. If you are not lucky today, switch your computer off and try to play, for example, tomorrow.

All online casino players know that there are two kinds of game. You can divide them into those games you like and those games you don’t like. In any case the world of games is divided into two categories: games that require skills and games that depend on luck (games of chance).

Games of chance: Traditionally, games of Luck are baccarat, craps, Roulette, slots, keno and bingo. Whatever the game is, there are two rules, applied to any game of chance: firstly, casino always has a house edge (sometimes it is not very large), secondly, the only thing that a player can make is to predict the future.

The registration at online casino is considered to be a rather simple procedure that usually takes 10-15 minutes. However, it happens sometimes, when players have difficulties in registering. The reason for it can be mistakes of players by filling up the registration form or, may be, mistakes in the program of Online Casino itself. If the mistake is the fault of casinos, it’s worth applying to support service.

In order not to make a mistake by registration at Online Casino you should attentively fill in the registration form. Mistakes can be the reason for refusal from casino’s bonuses for registration. Bonus for registration is given to a player in order to enable him or her to try some games and be accustomed to the management before beginning to play for real money.

In order to cash out bonuses, received at online casino, it is recommended to meet some requirements and conditions. This article will teach you how to seek and then get really worthy bonuses from online casino. And you will learn which demands should be fulfilled for cashing-out bonuses and which bonus restrictions some online casinos have.

When you are looking for good bonuses for the first deposit, don’t jump at the bait of large numbers. First of all, pay attention to those words that are written with the small print under the circumstances of winnings back of these bonuses. The thing that attracted you in the beginning can be in practice the reason for your losing at online casino, especially if you a beginner in this business.

Successful Blackjack players have already understood that this game is exceptionally mathematical process and in each specific situation there is well-known correlation of the probability of losses and winnings.

Out of a great variety of online games Blackjack is considered to be one of the most honest games for a player. The word “honest” implies that at Blackjack there is no mathematical advantage of casinos over a player unlike Roulette, where casino has the advantage of 2.7%.

Nowadays the old system of Tomas Donald has been subject to critical review by the serious mathematician Lev Natanson. His thoughts are as follows:

“I always bet on a red. Suppose, the initial bet is $1. If a black has come out, I increase a bet by one unit, and if a red has come out, I decrease a bet by one unit. But what should I do, if I have bet on a red and won? According to Thomas Donald the bet should remain invariable, as there are no zeros or negative bets. ” And then the mathematician decided to change this system a little: after bet on a red and a winning, the bet should be decreased by one unit. And if you bet only $1, the next bet should be equal to zero. It is clear what zero bet is i.e. you just skip the successive spin.

Such games as craps should be thoroughly learned before starting to play. Craps is a very good game that can be played at online casino, by the way, it is more the game of luck, than the game of strategic and analytical character. However there can be definite measures taken in it to reduce the house edge. As for Roulette, luck there is a very important factor as well. For example, if you bet on one number, your chance to win is rather small. But it is possible to reduce the house edge from 5.26% till 2.7%, if you choose not European Roulette with only one zero on the wheel, but American Roulette with double zero. Keno and Bingo also belong to unbeatable games. These games are called so because in the course of the long period of time players systematically lose. And it doesn’t matter which tricks and strategies they use.

When it comes to the choice of online casino, it is necessary to be absolutely sure of your choice, as today there are hundreds of online casinos in the Internet. Of course, each player has its own demands that he makes for the online casino.

This article provides the information not about our favorite games, but about the choice of online casinos: where it is worth playing and where it isn’t. By the way, by playing in online casino, you play for your own money and it is very important where you play.

Whittacker Strategy at Roulette:  Such a progression as 1-2-3-5-8-13-21… is used in this system (Each following number in the progression is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers). The winning of one bet compensates two preceding losses. After losses the transition to the next bet is fulfilled according to the progression. After winnings the transition back by the progression should be carried out in a stake (when the bet on 21 has won, the next bet should be a 8, when the bet on 13 has won, the next bet should be a 5). Bets in this progression are aimed at getting the positive balance.

First of all, let’s divide the whole wheel for five sectors that consist of 7 numbers:

Group:

1= 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19
2= 4, 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6
3= 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23
4= 10, 5, 24, 16, 33, 1, 20
5= 14, 31, 9, 22, 18, 29, 7 (numbers 12 and 28 don’t enter any group)

It seems to you that you know very well how to play at Blackjack and be successful in it. But the reality indicates at other things. A lot of mathematicians count several variants that are used by Blackjack players. And look at the result:

-    Never to surrender: the player, buying in, thinks that he gets 10 points. As a result by 12 points and higher the players don’t buy in. This strategy increases the house edge till 4%.

-    Repeat the dealer’s actions. The player plays according to rules of the dealer: he or she buys in till 16 points. In such a situation the players loses the possibility to double up and split cards, as a result the house edge increases till 5, 5%.

While playing in a popular game blackjack, many players make wrong conclusions in terms of probability of winnings/losses. For example, every professional player knows that it is not recommended to split two 10-s under any circumstances, but this rule is followed rather rarely. The next 10 mistakes are veiled by the opinion that decisions are made properly.

In this strategy the bank interest is not fixed and it depends on the correct determination of the event probability. Kelly’s criterion doesn’t permit bankruptcy, because it determines sizes of bets, depending on your cash. There is no risk of getting full bankruptcy. But the criterion demands proper evaluation of your chances for each event. According to this condition we get the optimal size of the bet, while using the next formula:

This German strategy reminds a little of Martingale system, but in fact it is more moderate. Its essence is always to increase the size of bets. Peculiarities of this strategy are that it can lead to the reimbursement of costs with the help of the first winning i.e. to profits that don’t include the quick growth of the stake.

“A series of numbers” strategy is a managed one. There is the opportunity to manage sizes of stakes, coming out of needs. But it doesn’t require large efforts from the player, for example, it is necessary to carry out the recording of a series of numbers and correction of it all the time: add numbers after losses and, on the contrary, cross them out after winnings.

Financial strategies are systems of money management i.e. your bankroll. The bankroll is the sum of money that you want to spend on bets. The goal of these strategies is the optimization of a winning where the probability of financial crisis or your losses is reduced. The choice of the necessary sum in the game is more important than the choice of your bet.

The most well-known financial strategies are:

If you are a beginner in the world of online slots, first of all practice in slot machines only with one winning line. Such a game will save your budget and help you to understand all nuances in Slots. In the sequel you will be able to use your skills in practice in a more complicated game with a larger number of lines and winnings. Without a good system there is a high probability of that casino will take too much money out of your pockets for a long period of time. Please, don’t join those millions of people who are being shamelessly robbed of billions of dollars by the casinos. Don’t adhere to the opinion that pleasure from the game costs money. You can really get this pleasure without reducing your bankroll.

Craps professionals usually agree that well-considered money management together with below strategy gives a player maximum winning chances. However it doesn’t guarantee you a winning.
There is one only reasonable craps strategy: it is expressed in the idea of reducing the house edge. You cannot influence on the result of the throw, but you can find a game and stakes with minimal casino profits and thus reduce the house edge even more.

Slots consist of a standard set of rotating barrels. The spinning of barrels begins from the moment you press the button “Spin” and when the barrel stops, some new combinations appear on the screen. If several similar symbols are placed in a row, the combination is considered to be a winning one.

It is necessary to learn the table of payouts before the game very attentively and determine winning combinations. Pay attention to the fact: slot machines with high payouts have more symbols. It is clear, because the casino should insure and compensate the amount of winnings by decreasing the probability of large winnings. If you play at progression slot machines, you should use the maximum number of coins and credits on each spin. It will help to increase your winning chances as payouts are mainly connected with hitting jackpot by the maximum number of coins.

The term “Fibonacci numbers” is known all over the world and it can refer not only to gambling sphere, but also to art, music, poetry, politics and so on.  For example, some natural phenomena grow according to Fibonacci sequence of numbers. The essence of this method is to calculate the sum of two preceding numbers.

A lot of sites recommend using only Martingale Roulette system that always works. But there is one question left: why haven’t all players been rich and why haven’t casinos turned bankrupt yet? At first let’s understand what the Martingale system represents itself. The theory of the Martingale system is rather simple: you start the game with a minimal bet and then if you lose, you increase the bet, if you win, you return to your initial bet. And what are the chances to win according to this system? We can say that losing and winning chances are equal.
