6 ‘Q’ S OF A GOOD CASINO

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

When I am looking for a good casino, there are essentially six questions that I ask myself.

      1. Should have a good track record on payout history. The worst thing that can happen when you play at a casino is after you winning good amount, you finding that it is a scam.
      2. Is the casino legal – does it have all the permissions that it needs – does it have registered office – is there an independent non-affiliate auditing of the company activities etc.
      3. How can I access it – what varieties of games are available. Many casinos force us to download the casino software even to start your account. This can be quite inconvenient if you want to first test the casino features. So if a flash version is available, then I can feel comfortable with the casino without the annoying downloads. Some casinos offer a no download version, but they offer a very limited range of games in the non-download version. So the variety of games becomes an important aspect to look at.
      4. What sort of welcome bonus is given to the new player? The welcome bonus allows the new player to feel his feet in the casino. He can play with the bonus and not loose his money before he gets into the real thing. So welcome bonus is a very important thing when I decide on a new casino.
      5. Does the casino reward me for playing more? Once I start playing on the casino, the more I play the more benefit that I should receive. Frequent flier benefits are an important part of a good casino.
      6. Is the casino committed to responsible gambling? Gambling is addictive and it gets out of hands sometimes. So we need a mechanism to cool us off some time. We need a spend limit, self exclusion, parental control etc.

These are the six questions that I ask myself whenever I visit a new casino. I recently evaluated Jackpots in a Flash, a Canada based casino recently according to these parameters. I present my evaluation below.
Jackpots in a Flash

      1. Jackpots in a flash has an excellent track record regarding payments. It offers a number of ways to withdraw money like Visa, Check, Click2Pay etc. The payout is done generally in 1 – 4 business days. Further, an independent world class audit firm reviews the casino payout history and gives a report that is placed for the public perusal. These things assure me that the casino is running in an honest environment.
      2. Jackpots in a flash runs on an award winning software that you can access from any place in the world without downloading it. It is a perfectly legal entity operating out of Canada. They have a responsive staff, a counseling team also.
      3. Jackpots in a flash has two interfaces to access it. You can download the casino software and access it. Alternatively, without downloading you can access the flash version of it. Two ways to access the site – one with download and another without download. So, you can access the casino from anywhere in the world without download also. Add to that the casino offers more than 190 games to play. All the games are available in both download version and non-download version.
      4. A welcome bonus of 50% matching bonus on your first deposit is given here subject to a maximum bonus of $100. This bonus has an added advantage that after playing 30 rounds, you can withdraw your bonus also. Not like some of the other casinos, where the bonus money is high but you can not withdraw it.
      5. Jackpots in a flash runs a players club in which you become automatically a member once you join the site. The players club gives player points to every spend that you make in the site. The player points are accumulated and players are given medals according to their tally. The player points can be redeemed for cash also. This encourages players to play more.
      6. Jackpots in a flash is a casino that is committed to responsible gambling. You can set a daily spend limit which can help us so that things do not go out of hand. If you want to really keep away from the casino for some amount of time it provides for self-exclusion.

    Considering the above points, I would like to give Jackpots in a Flash casino a rating of 8 out of ten.

    I request the users to please comment with their own experiences.

A new revolution in Casino(onlinexcasino) ! ! !

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

The innumerable wonders, among the many blunders. The already had it, blown it. The nothing to everything slot machines. The make it or break it dice rolls. The do or die roulette. Lucks parody. The Gambling Beat.

Vegas strip, Atlantic City and Life, all synonymous terms for the Great Gamble. Luck, struggle, bets, loan sharks, jackpots all variables; what makes you gamble? Its 3 a.m., I am sitting across the black jack table in one the biggest casinos on the strip. I am about to hit. The only thing I own, the only money I have, worthless green, sits on the table, in the form of chips, placed on high, the bet. There’s smoke in my face, as sweat rolls off my forehead.

The dealer across the table waiting for the words, knowing very well the house has won. Odds are against me, they are always against me. He grins.

“Hit” – I say. I have lost. There’s a smile on my face, wonder why? Maybe I knew. I borrow a cigarette from the valet and leave.

Why is it, what is it that makes me lose everything I have, why is that the crowds never learn? I am still smiling. I haven’t given up yet. I am a risky man, that inflates my ego to heights that no casino has ever reached, or a dealer has ever seen.

I head for my apartment, knowing very well that I am going to be back again. Where will I get the money from? The formidable question keeps nagging in my head. I already owe my life, worthless as it is, to three loan sharks, who, if not already, will want me dead as soon as the sun rises. That inflates my ego even more, I am a risky man. I smile.

I reach my apartment. The door is ajar. I enter.

He just shot me. My red blood is oozing out of my chest. He is gone. I have lost. This inflates my ego even higher. Why is it that you gamble?

Life’s parody.
