Paddypowercasino.com Review

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Monday Nov 24th, 2008

The first impressions of paddypowercasino.com is good – the home page is pleasing to the eye (albeit a little cluttered), but hey, it lets you know everything you need to know and more.

The best part about this site is that it doesn’t require any software download to be able to participate in all the games – great if you are a little on the sceptical side and don’t like downloading anything to your computer. Don’t worry about losing any of the graphic or sound quality that you would normally expect from downloadable casino software though as the gameplay is extremely smooth, pages are quick to load, the graphics sharp and the sound is great!

You have more chance of winning with some casino games than others (especially the slots). What paddypowercasino.com does is give you the odds of a payout on each game. To do this just click on the game of your choice, click ‘pay table’, and then click ‘payback info’. Its good news if for example you want to play on a 50p slot, you can look at the slots and see which one has the greatest percentaged payout – result! They also have a whole section on tips and strategies for all of their games – it seems like they actually WANT you to win!

If you’ve never played online casino games before you can play for free before you take the plunge. Just click on the ‘play for free’ option next to any of the casino games and practise to your hearts content – you don’t even need to register to be able to do this.

There are enough games on offer here to keep you entertained – 23 slots, 7 variations of roulette, 10 casino games, 10 blackjack games, 9 video poker games and 10 leisure games which include monopoly and high/low to name but a few.

This is certainly one of the most intuitive casino gaming sites I have come across – well done Paddy Power!

What is a casino wager

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Friday Nov 14th, 2008

There are a number of different terms used when using online casino’s and one of the most common you will see used is the term ‘wager’.

A‘wager’ basically means your stake or bet on a particular casino game – i.e, if you place £10 on the outside bet of red on a roulette game that is considered your ‘wager’. The term wager is also used on all games within a online casino site – even placing 10p in a virtual slot machine is considered a wager.

‘Wager’ can also have a second meaning – casino sites have wagering requirements where they require that you play your initial deposit, plus any bonus given before you are allowed to cash in any winnings that you may have. Different online casino sites have different terms and conditions on this, so it is important that you check them out before you register to make sure that you are happy with the requirements of that particular site.

Some online casino’s also offer you a bonus incentive every time that you bet or wager – a common incentive is to earn points every time that you wager a certain amount, and when you have accrued a certain amount of points you can convert these into bonus cash that can be spent on that specific site. Other bonus incentives that are given based on the amount you have wagered are entries into a prize draw and even choosing products from a gift catalogue, with higher valued prizes requiring the most points.

what is the best online casino and why

In my opinion the best online casino out there at the moment is www.smartlivecasino.com.

The site is extremely well designed with no flashing banners or pop-ups to distract you, its design is very simple and it is easy to navigate around the different casino games via the coloured tabs at the top of the page.

The best part about Smart Live Casino is its ‘Live TV’ option. Here you can place your bets as normal but you are then directed to a live tv studio where there is a presenter and a croupier – you’ll then watch the croupier spin the ball then when the balls drops the computer will automatically assess your bets and pay where appropriate. If you have satellite or cable t.v you can also watch it live and see your name come up on the t.v when you place a bet! Note: the live t.v only operates between 5pm and 5am GMT.

The site is so user friendly with options on the roulette to play for real, play for fun or watch a demo – playing for fun is useful for any novices who want to try before they buy.

As well as offering the standard casino games they also offer a multitude of other games including French Roulette, Casino Holdem, Baccaret and High/Low to name but a few. They have video slots, standard slots, video poker and a host of other games including bingo! This really is a ‘one stop shop’ for all of your gambling requirements!

New customers currently receive a 100% match bonus on their first deposit (minimum £25).
