Online Slots and Elimination Blackjack

Friday, February 16th, 2007

These two games go hand in hand, and can be played simultaneously to great advantage. In online slots, you concentrate on reading the reels, looking up your combinations in the payout table and investing the record breaking jackpot. (more…)

My Local Preference Has a Mint Flavor

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Asians are said to prefer video poker before online slots. Online gamblers from other nations have other local preferences and a few games have even attained global popularity. That’s all fine and well, but I don’t really care. In my local corner of the world, the local preference was always with the Machine and you all know what I mean by that. (more…)

Elimination Blackjack is the New Black

Friday, January 5th, 2007

There’s a new conversation piece you need to be updated on next time you go to a fancy dinner party. You may have heard the buzz in the street, or seen it happen in front of your eyes on CBS. A select group of people have even tried it out, and your faithful Spinner is one of those. Elimination Blackjack – it certainly has something to be said for it. (more…)

Mysterious Ring Experience in Las Vegas

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

I woke up one morning in Vegas wearing a ring on my finger. Fragments of the day before were hidden in a merciful haze, others were lost completely. In a pocket I found a folded paper containing a blackjack strategy that I could have rattled off in my sleep. (more…)

The Prospect of Swim-in Blackjack

Friday, December 1st, 2006

Have you seen those pictures of people swimming in a pool while playing chess? The board is put up on a narrow table just above the water surface. The players and their audience (mostly older men) hang around with just their heads sticking up from the water. (more…)

Free Poker TV on the Internet

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

A few years ago, poker on TV was rare and frankly not very amusing in the long run, given that the players’ hole cards were hidden. As much fun as watching paint dry, as the saying goes. Then the hole card cameras were introduced and everything changed.

Cold Cards Hot Dice – Poker Player’s Vice

Friday, September 8th, 2006

“I had cold cards”. Isn’t that the lamest excuse you can hear from poker players busting out of a tournament? Well, sometimes it may actually be the truth. Yesterday the weekly Wednesday tournament was played at the local casino. Since today is Thursday that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Tomorrow it’s Friday but that’s another story. (more…)

Casino Security Authority on Players’ Side (?)

Friday, September 1st, 2006

In the current online gambling frenzy, site security generally causes no problems. We deposit cash, play the games and withdraw whatever cash is left without much thought of any problems that might appear in the process. Nevertheless, problems surely are not an unthinkable phenomenon in connection with money transfers over the Internet to people you do not know. (more…)

Hearing Voices in the Online Poker Room

Friday, August 18th, 2006

We have a new poker room in the family, Titan Poker. They are part of the new and ambitious iPoker network with rather decent poker traffic; especially tournaments are much frequented. (more…)

The Shortest Poker Chat Ever

Friday, August 4th, 2006

It is nice to sit down and play some poker. Most of the time, the chat is pretty silent. People focus on the game (I guess they have seen Phil Ivey on TV), and I’m sure the majority play multiple tables simultaneously, so there isn’t that much to time for conversation. (more…)

Another Shot at the Millionaires Club Jackpot

Friday, July 28th, 2006

I notice that the gigantesque jackpot at InterCasino is still up for the taking. At the time of writing the jackpot display reads $3,699,441. This would certainly pay more than just a few parking tickets, even I must admit that. (more…)

The value of having fun

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

The casino player community is as diversified as a deck of cards stacked with jokers. Some know for sure they have the capability to predict roulette spins – under the right conditions, that is. Others know about safe systems for craps or blackjack or any other casino game including Keno. A few are convinced that casino gambling is a waste of time since the house always has the edge.

Pope mobile on grand tour

Monday, May 29th, 2006

The purchase by GoldenPalace.com of the pope’s old car is such a great story. Imagine this 21 year old guy in the south of Germany, carrying out his civil service, who bought a used car to travel to his girlfriend or who knows why. The seller makes some kind of allusion about him going to drive a truly blessed car, but not until he comes home and browse through the registration documents does he notice the name of the previous owner, Joseph Ratzinger – later pope Benedict XVI.
