Review for Blackjack Stats

Wow. Let's take a break from Poker sites for a minute and review something a little different. This is a pretty neat site for you blackjack strategists. You can get to the site by clicking this link: Online Casinos. The site is a little slow. It has all kinds of charts you can customize for the type of game and other settings including: # of decks, betting style, rules (like dealer must hit soft 17), the strategy you want to employ, and the type of table you want produced.

After selecting each item, a table is produced showing how the strategy worked out on a random deck. It's pretty complicated, but manageable by applying some simple blackjack strategies that are fairly well known and publicized. I ran a few through and it wasn't as daunting as it first appears. I used a couple strategies I employ in Vegas and as one would expect, their recommendations were a little different than what I was doing. no wonder my bankroll takes a hit when I play live blackjack.

There are some other cool items. There is a video blackjack calculator here. All of these calculators and strategies are designed to guide the user through an online gaming session. There are also bankroll calculators and an income calculator.

So if you get psyched after watching 21, then why not plunk down a couple hundred and try out some of these free strategies. Let me know how they work out with a comment.

Poker Ownage Site Review

This sight, Poker News, has a weird name, but is probably the best organized and deepest sight I have come across. I like the diversity of topics on the sight including news, online sight reviews, gossip, and gambling coverage in the real world (not online).

Under POKER GOSSIP AND RUMORS it didn't take me long to learn of the rumor High Stakes Poker is not going to be on GSN anymore. That was disappointing, however, old news that might not even be accurate at this point in time. The problem is the latest news is form June?

Under the rakeback section, the sight site discusses how to choose the best online poker sight on the basis of rakeback. This would be more helpful if the sight included some current data.

The sight also posts a review for Titan Poker. I found it a little strange that all the major poker sights were listed on this sight, but Titan is featured in the header.

There are several lesser known sight reviews and these are interesting if you want to change your luck and try a new sight. The list here is intentionally small because Ownage has filtered them for you. The Doyle's Room link didn't work. Cake Poker has a link, but no review as of yet.

All in all the sight is handy. I bookmarked it and will return. Why don't you?

Site Review: Spin Palace Casino

Yet another review of an on-line related site. This time I am reviewing Spin Palace. The previous link takes you to an overview of the site. The actual casino site is located here.

I was impressed with this casino because of the attractive mega jackpot. $6.7 million. That would be nice. They also have slot tournaments and online video poker, blackjack, and roulette. You can see a lots of recent winners by country by going to this link.

I downloaded the software and it was easy to install. I toured around the site, but didn't put any money down. I was impressed with the sign-up bonuses, 100% 1st deposit, 50% 2nd deposit, and 25% 3rd deposit. The details are posted on their site here.

For each game they provide instructions and strategy tips. The tips for Craps were pretty good and I spent some time reviewing them and comparing them to my own winning strategies. I love craps and online craps is even better for action than that in a live casino game. It takes way too long for the staff to pay out, you don't have to worry about some jackass putting his hands down to foul the dice, and the dice never leave the table.

I will definitely check the site out when I get a few gambling bucks liberated from my allowance account.

The Online Gambling Database

I am reviewing yet another online gaming site. This time it's Online Casinos. This site is similar to other sites I have seen except it is quite slimmed down. It gets right to the point. For each site it lists Online Casino Rank, Software & Games, Sign Up Bonus, Accepts US and if there is a Download. Of course all the sites have a download, so I wasn't sure of the purpose of this.

The beat part of this site is the link to the Casino Review Sites. This brings you to a list of other sites that have performed reviews of the various online casinos. There is a link that lets you add your own site and review. That's cool.

The "Latest Links" and "Top Links" at the top of this page were not functional. On the "sites" link on the bottom of the home page you can get to a table of contents that lists directories, forums, guides, blogs, bonus reviews, etc. This is clearly the most important page in this database. You can get to it via this link.

All in all, this is a handy site to find what you need in terms of world wide gaming sites. Plus it has the added feature of being interactive and allowing individuals to post their recommendations. This should make the information more rounded and less biased.

Website Review: Casino Scrutiny

Here is another online Casino site review for Online Casino Gambling at Casino Scrutiny. This site is interesting in a few ways. It has strategy write-ups for video poker, craps roulette, and blackjack. They also have a strategy for "Quitting While You are Ahead".

They also have a nice casino News section to give you information about the latest promotions and happenings on various Casino sites. I thought this was quite helpful on staying up on the latest information.

Next, there is this link for Reviews of the three best UK and US casinos. I found this the best part of the site. I quickly plunked down $100 on the Rushmore site and turned it into $300 playing craps and roulette. I also played a little blackjack, but gave some back. I quit while I was ahead :-).We will see how cashing out goes. It was easy to download and the site I am reviewing had accurate descriptions and I agree with their comments.

Since I followed the site's advice, picked a casino and won, I can't complain at all, but rather recommend this site if you want some information about which site to pick or to sty up on the latest information on the various sites.

UK Online Gaming Directory Site Review

I reviewed the following site: http://www.gamingdirectory.co.uk/. Also, you can get to it from here UK Online Casinos

It was a nice site, but some of the data on the site is out of date. I checked out the site and it was a little hard for me to form a strong opiion because it is just UK based. I found it cool that it had a casino software providers link. Also, it covered sites it found reputable, very handy if you don't already know, on the Casino Portals link.

If you haven't already noticed, each major link from the home page has sub-links. The Casino Bonuses link had a no information. I did notice the main page has both the bonuses and the top UK Poker sites outlined. The 32RED casino was pretty cool - I checked it out. The money was in pounds, so get out your wheel barrel of US dollars :-).

I checked out the Vegas Links and this was really out of date. The still had Barbary Coast listed and that casino changed to Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon at least a year ago. That said, it's a UK site, focused mainly on the UK based casinos. It has a signup for a newsletter too - pretty cool.

I checked out the links and it was good to see Party Poker at number 3 - I miss the days when Party Poker was available for the US.
