Ned and his Friends

I found a new slot game from BetSoft called Ned and his Friends. BetSoft tends to release slot games with a twist of humor. If you take a little too long to spin they often ask you what’s taking you so long. This latest slot game had me in stitches.

I played it at Mr. Green online casino. It has a number of features such as the Singing Rats Free Spins, Rat Tail Click Me and Ratty Rat Doo-Wop. The little critters sing Doo-Wop. The little guy is called SweetPea. I played a bit before I looked the pay table. I like to get a feel for a slot and be surprised by what it has to offer. Call me crazy.

The Ratty Rat Doo-Wop bonus came up first. I nearly fell off my chair. A woman is startled by the rats and faints. While she is on the floor, you are prompted to select a soloist. The rats sing and build up credits before she wakes up.  I was praying to the god of casino tricks to guide me into selecting the right one. He sang away and I racked up £25 or so.

Next, I triggered the Singing Rats Free Spins and this was truly funny. They all come down and sing things like “Nice One” and “Big Win”. If you have a fear of rats and mice, Ned and his friends will certainly help to cure it.

The only feature I didn’t get the opportunity to see was the Rat Tail Click Me. I was playing the 2p denomination and I was up about £35. I sometimes find the bonuses a bit difficult to get with BetSoft slots but this one was doing fairly well. BetSoft is definitely on a roll lately with Momma Mia and now Ned and his Friends.

Have you tried it yet?

 

 

 

 

All is Not Fair in Love and Online Casinos

Don’t we all wish all was fair in love and online casinos? There would be no dirty online casino tricks and the withdrawal process would be simple. In this gambling utopia players are also trust worthy, honest and respectful of fellow players and the casino. And then I woke up.

Withdrawing from an online casino can be a pain in the padded you know what. There are so many rules, regulations and documents that some casino require before cash out. We may not always be aware of all the red tape. Either the casino has done a good job of making things difficult or we just haven’t read the fine print. Hopefully you are only playing at reputable casinos that lay it all out on the table in the terms and conditions.

Believe it or not, there are some gamblers that lie awake nights thinking up ways to cheat the casino instead of trying to win fair and square. Who woulda thunk it? Let’s take the movie Rounders for example. Those guys cheat the house in so many games of Poker it would make your head spin. In the end Edward Norton and Matt Damon find themselves in a heap of trouble.

There are tricks out there to help give players an honest edge. Nothing is fool proof as Mr. Norton now knows. Forums and other online resources were created to help players. Sometimes the most powerful and successful player is a knowledgeable player. Select only the top casinos to spend your money. If you want something in return then you’ll read the terms and research who you’re dealing with.  I think of it like preparing for a boxing match. You always have to size up your opponent. Unfortunately, the same applies when you prepare to take on an online casino.

I actually made a deposit at Cool Cat Casino when I was an online gambling newbie and learned my lesson very quickly. Who were your big mistakes?

 

Are New Slot Games Tighter?

Do you think it’s a casino trick when online casinos release new slot games and make them impossible to win on? I have to wonder if they have the ability to tighten up those reels. I receive emails all the time with new slot releases. Whether they are Real Time Gaming, Rival, Playtech or Betsoft it is always the same. The marketing is amazing and it lures me in each and every time. I feel that itch to be one of the first to play it.

I got word from Jackpot Party that they released Blue Lagoon. I logged in right away and gave it a go. It features the WMS Hot Hot Penny feature. It is basically a re-spin. If you get two or more “Feature” symbols on the reels, the reels re-spin allowing the opportunity for land more “Feature” symbols. Three or more “Feature” symbols trigger the feature which involves choosing squares to reveal free spins. You can win up to 36 free spins. Well, it must be nice! I have no idea what it would feel like to hit the bonus on Blue Lagoon.

In the same week, I received an email notification of the release of Tycoons from Betsoft. I logged into my 7 Red account right away. This slot features some very wealthy poker players. There are several bonus opportunities available on this such as free spins with a wild reel, the “Choose a Fortune” pick-me feature and a bonus game. The bonus game requires you to select a favorite tycoon to win the poker hand. I played this slot for I don’t know how long and never saw the bonus game. I could not get it to save my life!

I began to think back to other slot game releases. I played them immediately and have never had luck. Is it me? Is there anyone out there that has experience this pattern of complete and utter loss when it comes to new slot games? Oh and if you happen to see the bonus rounds on either Blue Lagoon or Tycoons, please share a screen shot with me.

Slot Machines That Will Save Your Bankroll

My passion is slots, especially when they offer a great bonus game. Depending on what online casino I play, there is always a machine or two that are looser than the rest. My personal casino trick is to head to these slots when my credits are getting low.

Mayan Queen, a Real Time Gaming (RTG) slot does just that for me. Now this is not fool proof but she has pulled me out of the gutter more than once building my bankroll back to even more than my deposit. One time I was down to a mere $0.22 in my players account. Mayan Queen is a 25 line slot so I didn’t even have enough to wager on all the lines. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have waited so long! The Mayan Queen tipped her scepter in my direction and granted me the bonus round. On that spin alone, I ended up winning $37. Good times.

Another hot slot that helps me out is one of the newest slots, RTG’s Coat of Arms. Like a Knight rushing in to guard my credits, it can lift my spirits and weigh down my pockets in no time.

Just remember that slots that are loose tend to change. I use to rely heavily on Mystic Dragon but quickly realized it was no longer my savior. The online casinos like to keep us gamblers guessing. It’s like the land based casinos when they move around the slots like musical chairs and now you don’t know one machine from the rest. I have had my hot spots and gone back only to find they’ve been moved. Ugh!

This is a casino trick that has helped me out and I definitely think there are those machines that will keep us alive and in the action when the chips are way down.

If you’re unfamiliar with RTG here’s some background.

Roulette is a Numbers Game

Roulette is a game that many players think there are no casino tricks to winning. I personally love Roulette and I learned a trick or two along the way. Sometimes these tricks work and other times there is no cooperation. Of course this all involves taking chances and as gamblers we all take them.

Placing or chips on red or black gives a 50/50 chance of winning. Not bad odds when you think about it. I say put your entire bankroll on a certain color or as high as the table will allow and take chance of doubling up. Think about it, you have a 50/50 chance for sure. You can play all day on slots and not have these odds and end up losing your pants in the end.

Another casino trick I use is watching the board and all the numbers called. I look for patterns. When certain numbers are consistently being called that is a good indicator. Chances are they will pop up again in the next few spins of the Roulette wheel.

Playing online, the numbers are dictated by the Random Number Generator.  Supposedly there is no set pattern but time and time again I can’t help but see particular numbers favored. In this case, I will place my chips all around the number as well as inside. They aren’t guaranteed to hit but I have had my fair share of accomplished wins while pulling these casino tricks out of my hat.

When I play Roulette more conservatively I will play only the corners of each number allowing more opportunities with four numbers to win on. I may only get a quarter of the win but it is a nice way for me to build up my bankroll. Once I have a nice stack of chips then I place my wagers directly on the number to cash in 100%.

Do Online Casinos Trick New Players?

WMS launched an online casino earlier this year called Jackpot Party which bears the same name as a popular slot game. WMS is the company responsible for those slot games in the land casinos that raise your blood pressure. One in particular is Jackpot Party. It’s the slot game that blows the party horns. Three of them on a pay line trigger the interactive bonus round where you are prompted to touch the screen selecting presents. Each one reveals a prize but scattered throughout the screen are Poopers, characters that want to end your jackpot party. Needless to say, playing this game in the land casino raises my blood pressure beyond belief. The sound of those horns is permanently burned in my brain. This was my favorite slot game for years so you can imagine my surprise when they created an online casino. Lately I’m wondering if there may be a casino trick up their sleeve.

I signed up and to be honest had impeccable luck. Naturally, it became my favorite online getaway.  For the first few weeks of membership, my luck remained good. Wins and losses were fairly equal. I cashed out a £1,900 in the first month. After my last cash out I can’t even win a tenner. I know all too well that we can’t win them all but almost every spin produces no results and believe me, I’ve made numerous deposits.

Other players have commented in chat that “new players” tend to have good luck. At that moment I knew others were noticing the same thing. Do you think it’s possible that the online casinos can control who’s winning and who’s losing? My experiences have really made me wonder.

For me, the slot games are some of the best out there. I’m probably biased because I played their games in the land casinos for years. The first slot I ever put cash into was Jackpot Party. Are great games enough to keep you depositing?

They are TST certified and this certification includes RGN evaluations, game and mathematics evaluations etc. Are you convinced by these certifications or do you believe in the possibility of a trick to reel in new players before slamming the door on us.

Simply Keno

Keno can be a casino trick in itself.  There’s a  reduced house edge and the game is widely known for its hefty payouts. Online casinos offer Keno as well as bingo sites so it’s readily available.

The rules are simple. Creating matches is critical.  It is similar to lottery where every player has a ticket of 20 numbers. Select the number of games you wish to play and predict the winning numbers for each round. It’s that simple. If you’re not feeling psychic, don’t worry.

If you search out bingo bonuses, you will find that Keno is not an excluded game. Slots are restricted in many cases but Keno counts toward wagering requirements. Try something new. It just might pad your bankroll.
