Badugi Poker Its a Change

February 2, 2020   Game skill   No comments

Whether you’re playing blackjack online or you’re under the roof of one of a beautiful casinos in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo, the good news about blackjack is that the rules are not only universal, they’re also universally easy to understand. In fact, a kid of eight can easily master the skills necessary for winning blackjack. Better yet, blackjack is very fun to play, so it’s rare that you’ll find yourself bored when playing this game.

The Primary Objective of the Game

In poker, the primary objective would have to be something vague such as “getting the best hand possible”. But when it comes to blackjack, the objective of the game is simple: the cards with an equivalent value to 21 or the one nearest to it wins. Simple to understand, isn’t it?

Who is Higher and Who’s Lower?

In poker, you have to familiarize yourself with what a flush looks like and what a full house compromises, then remember which one is higher. In blackjack, however, there are no card combinations to memorize. In fact, all you have to do is compute what the value of your cards is and if you still need to improve on it or stick with what you have.

The counting system for blackjack is just like how it is with Lucky 9, only it’s a wee bit – emphasizing the wee here – more complicated. Cards numbering two to ten are counted as they are. Face cards – that would be the royal couple, the king and queen, and of course, the third wheel, the jack – are equivalent to ten while the ace can be calculated as one or eleven. You alone shall be able to determine whether your cards would be better off with an ace worth one point or eleven.

Who Wins and Who Doesn’t?

In poker, people who believe that their cards are not that strong or up to par with their competitors’ immediately choose to fold or give up. In blackjack, while there’s no such thing as folding, there is such as thing as an immediate game loss – this is what happens when your cards are busted. Cards are busted when the value totals something more than twenty-one.

If you have busted cards, you lose right away or have to wait for the next round to play.

Betting

Before you can play blackjack, you must always place your bet on the table first.

Lastly, if your first two cards are identical, you can divide them and play them separately.

Three Slot Myths To Dump

June 26, 2019   Game guide   No comments

So you like to play Slots huh? Most likely you have some interesting slot myths in your head that affect how you play. All slot players have them. Today, I’m going to bust three slot myths wide open.

What follows are three slot myths that are not true in the slightest. Pull up your chair and get busting.

Slot Myth One: Cold Change Makes No Difference

Las Vegas is full of fun slot myths. One that has withstood the test of time is that if you put your change in the freezer first and then use it, your slot machine will get tricked into paying better.

Yes, people actually freeze their quarters. And no, it does not work. The slot machine has no temperature checker doohickey, so your coin’s temperature will not affect your outcome in the slightest.

While making for some interesting chatter, this myth is busted wide open. It’s false.

Slot Myth Two: Bang it Like an Ape, Win More Money

Did you know that if you beat your slot machine a little while playing that it will pay out more money? If so, you’re beating up a poor machine for no reason.

Your slot machine has no feelings and the components are secure, so beating it does nothing. In fact, you may get a bruise or worse, thrown out of the casino.

You could hit your machine all day long, but your result will be exactly the same. It might feel better though. Consider this slot myth busted wide open.

Slot Myth Three: Pay Me. You Know I’ve Been Losing for Hours on End

So you’re sitting at your trusty slot machine losing your butt for hours and waiting for a big payoff. Why? Because the machine knows you’ve put in $800 over the past three hours and it’s about to hit big, really big.

Nope. Your slot machine was born without a memory of sorts. It doesn’t know that you have lost $800 in three hours or that you aren’t the same person that has been playing it since it was created.

Slot machines work on mathematical computations and random events. If asked, it couldn’t tell you how much money you’ve won or lost. In fact, it’s just as likely to dish out two jackpots back-to-back as take money from you for what seems like ages.

This myth is busted wide open. Your slot machine is a goldfish. It doesn’t remember personal data.
