Betting on roulette is one of the things that people find to be very hard at times. It always seems that whenever you bet low you end up winning and whenever you bet high you end up losing. This is why many people have turned to roulette betting tips. They feel that by following the advice of other roulette players they will increase their chances of winning. Sometimes this can be true but other times there are people who are just trying to lead you astray.

Roulette is a game that is based on luck so there is no way anyone can tell you anything that will guarantee that you will win every single time. However, if you know some of the true roulette betting tips you can be guaranteed that you at least win some of the time. For example, when you first arrive to the table knows what the betting rules are. Usually, the inside and outside bets minimum betting guidelines will be the same but the maximum betting guidelines is where they will differ. Also, make sure you know all of the different types of bets that take place in the game of roulette. These can be found by searching various places on the web.

If you are a winning one of the best roulette betting tips that someone can give you would be to start off by betting on colors and by playing the European version of roulette. This will make it easier for you to win. This way if you do not know the roulette terminology you do not have to take the time to learn the terminology right off. Also, colors are easier to predict that precise numbers. Another then to consider would to be to bet on the even and odd chances but you should wait until you have the game mastered a little more to do this. Lastly, before you move up to the exact numbers make sure you know all of the terminology and rules not to mention the fact that you should have watched other play the game to see what strategies they use so you can possibly come up with your own roulette strategies that will be a success.

Overall, make sure that you never pay for roulette betting tips because as mentioned previously no one can give you the exact key to winning no matter what it is that they say. All they can do is suggest pointers and many of the people selling “e books on winning roulette” have never played the game in their life and have no clue how to guide anyone else to either. As with any other gambling game you will also want to make sure that you do not become addicted and no how much you plan to spend and stick to it due to the fact that gambling in general has caused people to lose a lot of things including their homes and even their cars just to give you a general idea of how serious and addiction can become.

A new online slot game has gone live at all Realtime Gaming (RTG) online casinos. The game is in the 5 reel, 25 paylines video slot format and has an ocean theme. The reels are set in the ocean depths with the ocean bed at the bottom and the ocean surface above beyond which can be seen some islands and the colorful evening sky in the background. The symbols on the reels include Fish, Seahorse, Shell and Crab. Even the high value card symbols are covered with sea weed. The slot game has been appropriately named Ocean Dreams.

Whenever a new slot game is released the first thing players look for is innovative features and Ocean Dreams does not disappoint. It has a wild symbol, Orca, which appears on all reels and functions as a normal wild symbol should. But there is a second wild symbol, Golden Orca, which is special. It appears only on reel 3, but doubles payouts when it is a part of winning combinations. The real value of the Golden Orca is seen in the free spins feature. Normally free spins are triggered when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. The conditions in Ocean Dreams are more stringent. The scatter Island symbols have to align left to right or right to left. But there is plenty on offer after that. Players are awarded 10, 25 or 100 free spins for 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols respectively. All payouts are doubled. And all wild symbols are Golden Orca symbols, which appear on all reels during the free spins. The Orca and the Golden Orca offer handsome fixed jackpots. During normal spins five Orca symbols in an active payline offer a jackpot of 10,000 coins. And during free spins five Golden Orca symbols in an active payline offer a jackpot of 40,000 coins. The maximum line bet is $5. This results in a maximum payout of $200,000.

Some of the exciting features from the earlier RTG games have been incorporated in Ocean Dreams. Ocean Dreams is a Real Series online slot game and therefore has the two level randomly triggered progressive jackpots. The Major Jackpot is the larger one and the Minor Jackpot is the smaller one. There is no requirement of getting any alignment of symbols on paylines for triggering the jackpots. Ocean Dreams also has the Win-Win feature that RTG introduced a few months ago. If the payouts in the free spins round are in all less than 10 times the triggering bet the player will get the Win-Win bonuses.

Ocean Dreams can be played at all RTG online casinos. CasinoAdvisor recommends Club World Casino, Aladdin’s Gold Casino, Cherry Red Casino and Rushmore Casino.

After nearly three years in prison, former BetOnSports founder Gary Kaplan finally received his sentence in another controversial case tied to the 2006 UIGEA legislation. With the passage of the Wire Act in 2006, UK sportsbook operator Gary Kaplan and several other online gambling professionals became criminals in the eyes of the United States government.

Kaplan’s BetOnSports sportsbook processed billions of dollars in wagers leading up to the 2006 debacle. American bettors accounted for 98% of the site’s revenue, and Kaplan was reluctant to let them go. His decision to continue accepting American clients led to the company’s indictment in July of 2006. BetOnSports CEO David Carruthers was arrested shortly thereafter, but Kaplan remained at large until March of 2007.

This week, the Department of Justice gave Kaplan the maximum 51-month sentence and also demanded that he surrender $43.7 million in assets. One day later, two of Kaplan’s siblings and coworkers were also sentenced to house arrest and were ordered to surrender an additional $6 million in BetOnSports-related assets.

The harsh sentence doesn’t bode well for other UIGEA criminals awaiting trial, including Carruthers who will be sentenced in January.

Helping to educate lawmakers, the Remote Gaming Association (RGA) recently finished producing a video that demonstrates how the online gambling industry works to protect players. It is a five minute video that aims to provide insight into how online casinos are able to provide safe and fair online gambling environments, according to RGA Chief, Clive Hawkswood. Specifically, the video showcases technologies that are used to protect and encrypt personal information, including financial details, as well as preventing problem and underage gambling.

Unveiled to commemorate Responsible Gambling Awareness Day (that’s today, October 19th), the video has not been published online as of yet, but is expected to be available for view in the coming days or near future. If anything, it will also serve to inform players who are new to online gambling, as well as affiliates and partner sites advertising and promoting online casinos. The fact of the matter is that not every online casino upholds the standards of the RGA, and so letting players and affiliates know what to look for can help keep the rogue casino sites out there from stealing business and pocketbooks.

With education as its weapon of choice, the RGA has made tremendous strides in countering misconceptions that problem gambling is an “epidemic”, while still providing resources for gamblers to help prevent and identify problem gambling tendencies. The RGA does not deny that problem gamblers are spawned from remote gambling sources, such as the internet. However, they are quick to offer preventive and treatment solutions, as well as risk assessment that has proven helpful in keeping problem gambling numbers manageable and within regulatory guidelines.

The RGA also financially supports problem gambling treatment groups, like the world’s first international gambling helpline service, Gambling Therapy. In fact, the RGA donated 16,000 Euros to Gambling Therapy in conjunction with Responsible Gambling Awareness Day.

If there was anybody or anything that held the necessary resources to “educate the masses” regarding online gambling, and I mean educate in the sense of explaining how safety and fairness are ensured at online casinos, or at least properly regulated and accredited online casinos, it would certainly be the Remote Gaming Association, also known as the RGA.

A leading industry trade body, or association if you will, RGA represents the biggest and best brands in the online gambling arena. With a focus on the European sector, since that is the most widely government regulated area in the world, RGA helps to use it’s media outlets to raise awareness of gaming operator responsibilities while ensuring member operators maintain such standards.

There’s another big progressive jackpot win to report this week, and it’s now been confirmed that it took place at none other than U.S. facing Super Slots Casino. What generally takes several days to confirm, it is now official that one lucky players residing in Arizona, USA under the screen name of Marjorie T. bagged a $435,000 progressive jackpot playing the Pay Dirt online slot machine.

Pay Dirt is a three reel progressive offering a max win of 1,000 coins on a single coin wager. Of course, that all changes with a progressive jackpot, which in order to be eligible to win, a player must wager the maximum number of coins, which is three. At a $1 fixed value, that means it takes $3 wagers to have a share at the Pay Dirt progressive jackpot.

In the case of Marjorie T., who says this is here first big jackpot, that’s not a bad payoff. A simple single payline slot, Pay Dirt will pay 2 coins for the Eyed Pyramid, 10 coins for a Pair of Eyed Pyramids and 5 coins for three Cherry’s in a row.

For anyone unfamiliar with Super Slots, they are one of the top internet slots destinations owned and operated by the English Harbour Gaming Ventures (EHGV) network. See the Super Slots Casino Review for more details. The bottom line is that Super Slots is powered by Vegas Technology Software, which on all accounts, offers one of the best online gambling packages today.

Vegas Technology Software’s progressive jackpot network, in fact, has made more of a “jackpot surge” in the last three years than in the full decade this up-and-coming software developer has been in business taking bets from online gamblers around the world. Of course, the funneling of U.S. based internet traffic has drastically helped fuel this trend, yet the fact remains that Vegas Technology deserves the traffic it is getting.

Australia’s mushrooming operations group of internet based gaming Betfair, appears to be on an onward and upward journey. It was also announced this week, that Betfair will be sponsoring Strathalbyn Racing Club. This sponsorship has made this club the pioneer local South Australian race club, to obtain the betting group’s sponsorship.

The joint venture will include naming rights of several races, which begin immediately, as well as venue and track signage, according to what the club’s secretary has commented on Racenet.

Ms Sharon Cimarosti, the secretary for the racing club in question, has in fact commented that the club is simply delighted to have Betfair show an interest, and support them in this quest. She added that Betfair has through this sponsorship, supported the South Australian racing, since it has invested in the future of their club.

Andrew Twaits, Betfair’s Australian CEO commented that Betfair was thrilled with the partnership with Strathalbyn.

Mr Twaits said that this is their first endeavour in the sponsorship sector in South Australia, and this event symbolizes the achievement of another landmark in the progressive development of Betfair.

“It has always been our desire to reinvest into racing through such a partnership and Strathalbyn endows us with a further opportunity to fortify our trademark in Southern Australia and all over the country.

Proof of the partnership became evident at Strathalbyn, during the races held on the 22nd April. On this day Betfair has funded some races that were on the day’s schedule.

Former Nevada Senator Richard Bryan recently spoke to the Las Vegas Review-Journal about Congressman Barney Frank’s internet gambling bill. While Bryan was supportive of the initiative, he was also grim about the prospect of it getting passed next month. “It probably won’t happen this year,” Bryan said.

The article in question was originally written as an evaluation of Nevada’s potential as a hub for online gambling operations should the bill pass, but Bryan’s honest predictions have set the poker industry ablaze. Frank’s House Resolution 2267 has already been delayed once this year to make room for more pressing recession-related issues. While remaining dedicated to HR 2267, Frank himself has stressed the need for immediate health care reform, and many DC pundits agree that the issue will likely push online gambling off the agenda again.

The issue has certainly gotten a reaction from the PPA’s many supporters who are arguing that the revenue potential of legalizing online gambling in the U.S. makes it recession-related and puts the topic on par with health care for the next Congressional hearing.
