When you play poker, don’t get your bonus!
by Casino Blog on Nov.11, 2009, under Bingo, Blackjack, Jackpot, Online Casino Tips
Some players even professional ones prefer to deny bonuses and other promotions. They do not want to depend on specific limitations of casino companies and fully benefit from the game. You would believe that it does not make sense but it’s actually clever!
This strategy works especially for players of table games (blackjack, craps and roulette) who need to be able to withdraw their earnings quickly.
To accept casino bonus, it means having to force yourself to play a number of times the original bet on games other than other table games. Indeed, it is shown that some table games have the best payout percentages, unlike slot machines, for example, where percentages are highly variable, especially where you have the worst players.
However, if slot machines, jackpots and other video poker is your passion, to accept the bonus casino takes on its meaning, because you’ll be able to play longer on the slot machines that can allow for some great gains, unlike table games where the gains are still modest in comparison.
Enjoy poker and have a good time!
To withhold your bonus, simply call the online casino (it’s usually a Toll free number) or send an email to customer service when you deposit money in your online casino.

- Once this is done, press the “Donate / Draw / Deal” to get the latest maps and your final hand.
- Depending on your final cards compared to your peers, you can collect your gains.
You have the option to Double down if you’ve won
If you have a winning combination, you can afford to “double or quit” you can or you can stop and press the “cash funds” to get your cash.
- Then, either you choose to double the machine which has a card face up, then you can choose one card among those that are not visible with the button “Save”.
Three possible situations:
- If your card is higher than that of the machine, your gains are doubled and you can repeat the operation.
- If your card is equal to that of the machine, you can try to double again.
- If your card is weaker than that of the machine, you lose
Gains
Potential gains depend on combinations depending on the type of video poker and the number of coins played. When you are done with video poker, press “cash funds” and go to the cashier to get your cash back.
Good luck and have fun playing online video poker!

Playing Tight Aggressive Poker Online
by Casino Blog on Jul.27, 2009, under Lottery, News, Poker
Online poker is fast becoming a favorite pastime for people of all ages. It is a fun and exciting way to make some money and with a plethora of sites offering free poker, it’s become easy to learn it before playing real money games. However, when playing real poker, there are certain styles of play that can maximize your winnings in online tournament. Below, we will examine the most effective style of play, and how you can use it to your advantage at the table.
The most effective style of play in any online poker tournament, is tight aggressive. A tight player is very selective which hole cards he begins a hand with. By sticking to a very select few hands, a tight player minimizes his chance of losing. A tight player does not play Ace-rag unless he’s in the blind, and even then, a tight player knows how far he is willing to go with those cards. A tight player folds two or three times more than anyone else at the table, and some people just are not patient enough to employ this strategy. Playing in this manner, will pay off in the long run, because you won’t be losing small amounts of money on cards that have little chance of winning. So, being a tight player, be prepared to fold, a lot. Be patient, it will be worth it. It is important to note, that the key to this strategy, is the word aggressive. A tight but passive player, will only fold a lot, only to take down very small pots, simply because the passive style of play, does not get the money into the pot. In a no-limit poker tournament, it makes other players very uncomfortable to play with an aggressive player that puts them to a decision for all their chips.
Aggressive does not mean playing with reckless abandon, it means playing the best hands you have in the way that maximizes your winnings. You want another player to be worried about you, and if he’s paying any attention at all, he will take notice when someone (like you, a tight player) who hasn’t played 5 hands all night, raises his bet. Players tend to be more aggressive online, than in a brick and mortar casino game, so by playing tight, you will have the cards to take all of his chips, putting you that much closer to the final table, and the money.
