- Other Great Casino Table Games
  22/01/2021Online Casino GuideBlackjack is one of the most popular casino games, but there are other casino games out there that involve a lot less stress than blackjack on the amateur gambler, the three we have in mind being baccarat. craps and roulette in particular. When played correctly, the odds are almost .5 per cent in playing blackjack, but the strain on your nerves can be brutal. Therefore, we’ll start with the least stressful, low house edge game in the casino, which is baccarat. Baccarat The house edge on baccarat is 1.06 per cent if you bet on the banker to win and 1.24 per cent if you bet on the player to win, not as good theoretically as blackjack, but what makes this still very low house advantage game worthy of play is its simplicity. How is baccarat simple? In this discussion, we’ll skip betting on the tie, which is a suckers bet, where the house advantage is 14.36 per cent, the simplicity of the game is that the rules are completely automatic. What do you mean by automatic? In baccarat First, you are dealt two cards. Picture cards and 10s count as 0, Aces count as 1, and 2-9 cards are worth their total. The highest point score is a 9, called a natural, so if you have a jack and a 9 for example, your score is 9 and whichever stance you took, banker or player wins. Once you go over 10, you drop 10 points, so a 9 and a 6 would be 15 total, but your points in baccarat would be 5. If either player gets either an 8 or a 9 it’s considered a natural and they win unless you have an 8 natural and the opposing player has a 9. For the player, they stand on 6 or 7 automatically, and if you have from zero to five you draw a card. For the player, the rules of drawing a third card are somewhat more complicated, but again the dealer will follow the rules as to when to give the dealers a third card. The magic of the game is that baccarat is low stress, with only one essential decision, whether to bet for the player or the house. And by the way, the somewhat lower odds for the banker are evened out by charing a small commission for betting for the banker. There being no difficult decision like in blackjack when you have a 12, 13, or 14 in deciding whether to stay or hit, after a few rounds of baccarat, blackjack players will wonder how they ever missed this game. And by the way, don’t be put off by the roped-off area of a casino for baccarat. The area is roped off because a lot of high rollers like to play the game. But if you are in a physical casino and the roped off area intimidates you, look for mini-baccarat tables, which are just like blackjack tables and less intimidating. One tip though. At the casino, they pass out tally sheets for baccarat players to keep track of who is winning, the player or the banker. However, just as in flipping coin which lands sometimes 4 or 5 times on heads, in baccarat, the result of a new game will always be the same, with a slight advantage for the banker, but over thousands of plays, pretty much one to one. The best way to win? Play fewer games with bigger stakes and hope you get lucky. Craps Our second game is craps, which is one of the most popular casino games in the world. One of the reasons for the popularity is that there are 120 different bets in craps making it a game with tremendous variety. However, here we’re only talking about 4 different bets, two of which are almost identical. Let’s say a new shooter comes out (it doesn’t have to be you by the way. ) The shooter rolls two dice, and you bet $10 in chips on the pass line, which is an area in green on the outer edge of the table. If the shooter rolls 7 or 11, the pass line bet wins. If the shooter 2, 3 or 12 he (and you) lose. If the shooter rolls any number other than a 7, 11, 2, 3, or 12, that becomes his point. Then the shooter continues to roll, and if he rolls his point, he wins, and if he rolls a 7 he loses. The odds of this simple bet are a house edge of only 1.41 per cent. Although less popular as some fellow betters feel betting on the don’t pass bet, which is just the opposite of the pass line bet, is a house advantage of 1.36 per cent. Both these bets are extremely good odds, and if you stick to pass or don’t pass bets, or the second of two bets, come and don’t come after a point is established you’ll at the very have a relaxing time at the tables with little or no stress. Roulette Compared to baccarat or basic craps, the game of roulette is not nearly as good of odds. The European version of Roulette with one zero has a house advantage of 2.7 per cent, while the house advantage of typical American double-zero roulette is 5.4 per cent. Never the less, with 38 possible combinations of bets and the illusion that with red and black or odd or even you have a 50=50 chance (don’t forget those pesky zeros) the game of roulette is quite relaxing and can be a great alternative to a high-stress game like blackjack or poker, and is certainly a better play than your typical slot machine....
- Popular Types of Online Blackjack
  30/11/2020Blackjack GuideAttention, blackjack lovers! Today, we have a breakdown of some of the most popular versions of online blackjack. We hope your favourite has made the list. As mentioned (in another post) this list is comprised of consensus from avid blackjack lovers. We apologize, in advance, if your favourite has been left off. 1) Classic Blackjack This the traditional version of the online experience. Players can choose between 1 and 8 decks. Every player is dealt 2 cards (one face down) as is the dealer. Players only win when the cards equal out to 21. but the total cannot be more than that. What happens when a player has more than 21 points in their hand? It is called a bust deal and you lose. Another point to mention is that your hand has to be worth more than the dealer’s to win. What happens when the dealer has a natural face card and an ace? Then it is called Natural Blackjack. That means you automatically lose. The goal is to beat the dealer. Say, for example, that you have 20 points, but the dealer has 21. The dealer is the winner, even when they do not have an ace or face card to challenge. This can turn into a high-intensity game with the right players and dealers. 2) Progressive Blackjack This one is kind of similar to the classic version, except the stakes are somewhat higher. What makes the stakes higher is the jackpot. It is more progressive; therefore, you stand a better shot at winning a larger amount. The other difference is the 1% bet that is automatically placed into the pot (at the beginning). All the basic rules still apply. There are different variations to the game. Some of those variations included being able to hit, stand, or double the amount. This is another high stakes game, but with a more intensive outcome. Players who enjoy higher stakes often choose this one over the classic one. They feel the classic one is a little too safe. Everyone has an opinion on this. It all comes down to player preference. 3) European Blackjack The one thing to note (about this game) is (mostly) only available in other countries, like New Zealand. You may even have to check your area jurisdiction In New Zealand) to make sure you can play this version. This one is played with only 2 decks. The player is dealt two cards face up at the beginning. The face-down card (the hole card) is not dealt with until the player decides what to do. Players can make plays including doubling, splitting, and standing. Players can also double down on hands that have cards 9-11. Once again, this is another high stakes version of the game. Many players prefer playing either Euro or Progressive blackjack as opposed to the classic version. 4) Blackjack Switch Now, this version might not be available in all areas of New Zealand. You might need to check your area’s rules before playing. This version allows the player to switch between two cards. What happens is the player gets two cards. He or she can then improve their chances by switching out the cards for two more. The payout has been changed too. You will get an 11 instead of 32. The dealer can win if the player has a blackjack before the switch. Say, one player has blackjack but makes the switch. He will still keep the same bet. The dealer will win due to the switch being made. This version is a little more obscure than the others, but it is very popular in the Euro markets. The US still has to play catchup (in terms of popularity). 5) Live Blackjack We cannot have a list without including this one. Live dealer remains one of the most popular selections for online casinos. The reason is that you get the same energy and experience online, as you would in a brick and mortar location. The rules are still the same. Players like being able to do the live version from their living room. 6) Super Fun 21 This is another obscure version. You play with only one deck. The rules you get in classic apply here. The one thing that does change is the payout structure. Another thing that changes is the natural blackjack. A player’s natural will always beat the dealer’s (which is a change from some of the other versions). You get more money when you win. A Diamond Blackjaks includes an ace and ten. You can also win with a J, Q, K hand. There are different variations of this game too. Now, not all variations are going to pay the same. Some payout structures are going to offer less. It also depends on how much you place with your initial bet. There is also a betting range that varies for every selection for Super Fun. The Diamond version is going to offer much bigger winnings. Conclusion It all comes down to how much you are willing to risk for a loss when playing. Those who are not too inclined to risk a lot (of money), you should probably stick with the classic version. We hope this content was informational. Let us know below if we left off any of your favorite Blackjack version in New Zealand. Always acquaint yourself with the rules and terms before playing....
- Counting Cards in Blackjack
  02/10/2020Blackjack GuideFor many inexperienced players, counting cards may seem like the ultimate strategy when playing blackjack. It feels like it’s on the edge of legal, with casinos on the lookout for it, so of course, it is the special ingredients in any winning player’s game. This is not the case. Although some count cards as part of their strategy, counting cards doesn’t win every hand, and a player must have some skill to use it right. This might come as a shock, but some of the most experienced blackjack players don’t count their cards at all. It takes a lot of focus for relatively little return. In the end, it is the player’s preference whether or not they count cards. It depends on the ability to focus and personal preference. Of course, it can be a helpful skill, even if you don’t think you’ll use it. What is counting cards, anyway? Counting cards is a strategy used by blackjack players to determine how likely it is that the next hand will be a favourable one. Card counting is pretty simple, but it is also policed by casinos. If a player is a suspected card counter, they are sometimes kicked out of the establishment. There are four main steps in this method of card counting. This is the hi-low method. First, the counter needs to assign a numerical value of +1 to cards 2-6 and a -1 to cards 10-A. Next, count during each hand. So, if a 2, 6, 7 10, Q and A are dealt, your running total would be -1. Third, the counter must pause after each hand to consider the results. If the total is negative, the cards that are left are poor. If the total is positive, the cards left are richer in large cards. If the total is positive, increase your bet. If it is negative, decrease your bet. That’s it. It can be used very successfully when done right, but some casinos look down on counting cards, and it is not a strategy in and of itself. There are other ways to count cards, but this way is easy to pick up, and it’s recommended to beginner card counters. Just because it’s easy to learn doesn’t mean it’s not effective. It gives the player plenty of information with which to place their bets. A more difficult method is the Revere 14 Count method. This is one of the most famous and hardest methods to learn. Only the most experienced players use this method because other, easier methods work almost as well, but some players still swear by the Revere 14 Count method. This method, like all card counting methods, also assigns values to cards. The values are as follows: 2 – +2, 3 – +2, 4 – +3, 5 – +4, 6 – +2, 7 – +1, 8 – 0, 9 – -2, 10 – -3, J – -3, Q – -3, K – -3, A – 0. When a deck is freshly shuffled, the counter starts at 0. As the player counts throughout the game, if the total is positive, the deck holds larger cards, and if it is negative, the deck holds smaller cards. Once a deck is played all the way through, the player should have a total count of 0. If these strategies for counting cards don’t interest you, there are so many more. If you want to learn how to count cards, there are plenty of websites that offer instructions on each method and even a rank of how difficult each method is to learn. With a little practice, any method can be learned and tried out in a real game setting, and if you don’t like the method you picked, they all have the same basic concept, so it’s easy to learn another. Many tips can help you learn how to count cards. When you first begin counting, play online games with a single deck and plenty of time for you to make your move (and count the cards). Secondly, 100% accuracy is attainable, if you focus on perfecting your counting at a slow speed and continue to increase speed slowly. Make sure you reach 100% accuracy multiple times before moving up a speed level. As your accuracy improves, you will find ways to speed up. Some players let one high and one low card ‘cancel’ each other out, which speeds up the process because these cards are not counted. Although this gives an advantage to the counter, it doesn’t mean that the counter will win no matter what. Counting cards does not change the hand you’re given; it just gives you a little more information about the cards you will be given. That is why most card counters will also employ other strategies. Usually, a player will use a basic blackjack strategy, keeping an eye on the running total, and if it looks like there will be an overwhelming amount of good cards, they bet more. If it looks like there is going to be almost no good cards, they bet less. While counting cards is technically not illegal, there has been no overarching ruling on this. Some casinos may kick out a player for suspected counting others have no choice but to let players count. The reason casinos dislike card counting so much is that counting cards give the player a .5% to 1.5% advantage over the dealer. Casinos would go out of business if the player won every time! Luckily, if a player is interested in card counting, it is easy to count cards subtly. Overall, though, counting cards is not the end all be all of blackjack. Many players don’t count cards because it takes focus away from the rest of the game it doesn’t give the player a huge advantage and casinos are on the lookout for it. Usually, there are better strategies to winning a hand of blackjack, and most experienced players would only recommend card counting as a last resort or as a secondary strategy if you’re experienced enough to keep track of all of that. Overall, while counting cards is not the skeleton key to winning that the media has made it out to be, it is a good tool to have. Although it may not be a good idea to go around bragging about your card counting strategies to the casino owners, most of the time it is easy to fly under the radar when counting cards, especially because counting cards doesn’t guarantee success. Again, most players choose not to count cards, though, because it takes a lot of focus to remember the running count and many other strategies can be employed when playing blackjack. In the end, if you are invested in card counting, it can be helpful, but it will not make you a world-wide blackjack legend like the media may have you believe....
- The Different Types of Blackjack and How They Vary
  10/08/2020Blackjack GuideBlackjack or 21 is the most popular of casino games played in casinos around the world and homes just like yours. You don’t have to be a professional gambler to enjoy playing but the rewards, the thrill is great when you have an opportunity to proudly declare, “Blackjack”, and receive winning for your brilliant play. Learning to play is simple: each player receives two cards from the dealer and has the option to “hit” or receive another card or “stand” stating that you are happy with the cards dealt. All face cards are valued at 10 while the ace can be one or usually 11 and when combined with a face card values 21 or blackjack. But this simple game is complicated in the details, and the strategy playing against the dealer is intense. There are various rules to the game which vary due to the place where Blackjack is played. Vegas Strip Blackjack Let’s start at the home of gambling in the United States in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Strip, that mecca of gambling and entertainment known to all American from experience or the movies. Entering a casino in Las Vegas is a thrill and all the senses explode with information. As you amble past the crowded slots machines you will see the world of table games. Here small tables holding a maximum of 5 players are holding court with one dealer and the rules are simple and a smart player can often beat the odds. These are the Blackjack tables. In this game, the dealer must draw to all his totals of 16 or less but must hold (stand) on totals of 17 to 21. Progressive Blackjack Is a subtle variant of Vegas Strip Blackjack where all the rules hold but there is a progressive jackpot. This game has become popularized by the growing number of electronic machine-oriented blackjack games. Different yes, but still the same fun and strategy. European Blackjack The European variant that uses 6 decks of cards which effectively eliminates card counting. Aces can still be split but splitting cards valued at 4, 5, or 10 is not allowed. In Europe, the dealer must stand on a soft 17. Spanish 21 Like European Blackjack, this game is played with multiple decks of cards. The biggest difference is that this game of Blackjack is played with a Spanish deck of 48 cards. Here the lucky gambler who has a 21, on his or her first two cards always wins, this lucky player receives 3:2 even if the dealer has 21. Rules concerning doubling are laxer and the player with a poor hand can surrender and get half their initial bet back from the dealer. Pontoon This Predecessor of Blackjack was originally called Vingt-Un. Designed to be played by 3 to 10 players. This game became very popular in Europe and found a home in Britain in the 18th century. Pontoon or Vingt-Un is very similar to modern Blackjack. The game of Pontoon itself has been corrupted by local rules and is commonly played by children and families. The later development and variants of Vingt-Un would become the classic game of Blackjack. The game that is now essential in the gambling world. Classic Blackjack As the name applies this is the accepted form of playing Blackjack today. The dealer is armed with an 8 deck shoe but has to abide by the stand or hit rules that make Blackjack such an exciting game for the more cautious of players. This one rule about having to stand or to have to accept another card makes this game fascinating. Consider this, suppose you as the player have a hand valued at 12, this would make that hand the weakest of all possible hands in Blackjack but if the dealer has a natural hand greater than 12 but one of the numbers in which the dealer must hit (take a card) and he receives a face card (jack, queen, king) or another high card and he goes bust. Then you as the cautious player have been able to score a win from a garbage hand. Not unlike Poker when a player is bluffing but Blackjack has the added benefit of being played in the open and all cards are shown. Blackjack Conclusion Even though the house (dealer) has a great advantage, the game of Blackjack is great fun to play and a cursory understanding of the rules including, splits and all the local rules are easy to obtain. Simply ask the casino what the rules are for Blackjack. Write them down and memorize them. Blackjack is the one gambling game that is easy to understand, and when the local rules are known the average gambler is not at a great disadvantage as he or she would be against professional crap, roulette, or poker player. Break out a deck of cards and play the game among friends and family. You can be at the house and you can even make all the rules. You must remember that the stand and make rules for the dealer are what makes this an interesting game. Don’t be afraid to practice online as well with many great online casinos to try out. Once you know what the game is all about then its time to head to your local casino or book a flight to one of the many gaming capitols of the world....
- Black Jack Extravaganza
  20/06/2020Online Casino GuidePlayers around the world want to play Blackjack because it’s one of the most difficult and thrilling card games in the country. It’s a casino game that provokes intense discussions among professional players regarding their habits, tactics and structures. Blackjack has risen dramatically in popularity because it gives players the chance to gain superiority over the casino by utilizing their expertise and experience. There have been a variety of various changes over the years, coupled with new options and legislation. Some of them were very popular with most Blackjack fans, which is why many casinos offer both the initial and some of their most searched versions. The key rules and the move in the game are the same as the standard blackjack unless otherwise stated in the casino window. The main difference here is that they have two hands in place to switch the top card to improve their luck. To play them, they need to make two equal bets on each of them, because they are seen as two opposite hands. Card counters must bear in mind that the decks in the game are special as they can be four, six or eight. For this version, the Blackjack payout is not the normal 3/2, as the players pay 1/1 instead. In certain situations, the dealer reaches soft 17, although this law may differ based on the casino, and it is still better to double test before playing. Players have the option to double down on every two cards to render this step when they break up. Re-splitting is often permitted for a limit of four hands, but if they attempt to make this pass, they must be especially vigilant because it could cost them expensive. Blackjack guarantees one of the highest chances in a casino for a player to win a lot of money. You might also, for the most part, know that having a mathematical edge across the casino is how you can learn how to count cards or for the most part have some very unique tactics to win big. Yet just like any casing game, its not all sunshine and rainbows. Blackjack has its pros as well as its cons. One thing about the fantastic game of Blackjack is that Blackjack is extremely easy to learn how to play. You don’t have to waste time studying complicated game laws, you don’t need a scientific model, as long as you can count to 21, you can play. Blackjack often essentially has a low house edge, and it’s impossible to particularly lift the house edge to about 0.9 per cent because it’s played with an optimal approach. It ensures that you can win more than definitely other games, like Roulette, and it also really offers you a chance to get a casino game experience without wasting your money fast. Some of the downsides to Blackjack are that the game won’t make you rich at the least with one hand. Since the edge of the house is very small, basically daily payouts mostly are not particularly big so players like easy, action-packed, definitely high variable games like European Roulette, and Video slots can be switched off, demonstrating that now, it specifically is obvious that it depends on the definite long term, but does not even matter in the kind of short term, so blackjack often kind of has a very low house edge, and it’s impossible to particularly lift the house edge to about 0.9 per cent because it’s kind of play with an optimal approach. Secondly, it is not particularly uncommon for the dealers to earn 4 or 5 hands in a row, given what you may expect, for the blackjack to generally take longer, fairly loose trips, fairly further showing how you might also really have a mathematical edge across the casino if you b learn how to count cards or have some other tactic. However, when competing at the table with other teams, they can still actually make dumb choices, and it can be incredibly annoying, particularly if you’re on a losing streak, so blackjack often has a very low house edge, and it’s impossible to essentially lift the house edge to about 0.9 per cent because it’s played with an optimal approach. You can enjoy free Blackjack games wherever you’re on your tablet or desktop. When you play Blackjack on your handheld phone, try using an optimized strategy as well as you do at a land-based or online casino. When your internet access is bad, you should avoid playing live dealer games. No matter how fun a gaming experience they may give you, playing live blackjack is more costly, and if your internet link is disabled, there’s no way back. Playing Blackjack games on the go will be enjoyable as long as you have energy. Make sure you set a goal and don’t break that, no matter how successful you may be. When your internet access is bad, you should avoid playing live dealer games. No matter how hard you may love playing blackjack, it’s more costly to play live and if you have a damaged internet connection, no way back. Overall, blackjack essentially is really fun, I’m going to recommend it to players at any level, even though they would choose other games European roulette or American roulette, blackjack is really fun. It’s easy to pick up, it’s sweet, and it’s going to make very strong gains if you’ve got a happy streak. While blackjack has its advantages and drawbacks, for the most part, it is a great game to give a try....

- Playing Live Blackjack Vs Online Blackjack
  19/03/2020Blackjack GuideWhen it comes to at-home casino play, online blackjack is a popular way to experience the thrills of gambling from the comfort of your laptop. The ease and popularity of online casinos offer a variety of ways for people to participate in the gaming experience. Because there’s more than one type of way to play blackjack online, players can decide what they’re most comfortable with and determine the method of playing blackjack that creates the best online experience. As the online casino experience continues to expand, it’s possible to play blackjack online with a dealer or to play the online game with a computer dealing with a string of randomly generated cards. Traditional online blackjack relies on the random number generator or RNG. In this game, the cards that are dealt with are randomly selected through a predetermined string of numbers generated by computer software. The numbers are random and do not change based on hands previously dealt with. These games are similar to machine blackjack found in the casinos. The brick-and-mortar casinos are subject to stringent rules and testing regularly. It is important to research any online casinos to be sure that there is testing done by an independent third party to determine that the games are being presented in a manner that is fair and operating within the standards that must be upheld by casinos. This will indicate that the online blackjack game experience is comparable to that of a blackjack machine in a casino located inside of a building. Live dealer online blackjack play is exactly what it sounds like. It is online blackjack with a live dealer. The dealer deals actual cards in the same way they would and a casino. The dealer may be located inside an actual casino or in a separate room dedicated to filming the online play. This setup allows for more than one player at a table and there is an interaction between the dealer and the players through online chat. The players may also be able to chat with each other. Because the dealing of the cards is consistent with a blackjack table, the house winning percentage is generally consistent with that live play in the casino. It is important to look at the house percentage wins and how the cards are dealt, the number of cards in the stack, etc. to determine if the play is fair and consistent. Live online dealers offer the opportunity to play poker online in a way that is nearly like playing at a casino. There are some similarities and some differences between the two forms of online blackjack play. One of the main differences is the video element of the live dealer blackjack. Because there may be several players at the table, what one player does affects the cards dealt with the other players. Though each player is playing against the dealer, the cards one player takes will affect the cards available for the next player. This is consistent with regular casino play. It will be important to know the rules before beginning to play with a live dealer. Additionally, it is important to be engaged in the game and to pay attention during the entire game. Each player takes a turn finishing their hand and to be successful, it is necessary to pay attention to the cards being played. This makes it more like regular blackjack play. Because there are usually several tables being played, it will be best to find a game that moves at a pace that you’re comfortable with and to know the rules and be able to play the game without delay. The minimum bets at the online dealer tables may be higher than that of the online blackjack machine play. So, it is a matter of finding the cam that suits the individual needs of the player. As far as regular online blackjack, the player controls the pace of each game played. It can move quickly and there is no waiting for the decisions and play as other players finish their hands. There is no requirement to sit in one spot to play the game because there is no video camera. It is more like playing a blackjack machine in the casino, and there are usually several variants to choose from. This is what can make online blackjack interesting as players are free to switch to different blackjack variants and find a new favorite way to play. There is freedom, just like a casino machine, to change the game being played at any time. For people who are not looking for the personal interaction of the casino, online blackjack with RNG is the perfect way to enjoy blackjack. The players usually have a better chance to win against the house with RNG as long as the software is programmed to be fair and with luck, the winning percentages are published by the online casino. It is important to research whatever websites are being considered for play whether for live dealer blackjack or traditional online blackjack. The casino should be subject to regular third-party audits of the online machine operations and payouts. Read the small print on the websites to be sure of the fees involved in playing and any penalties associated with cashing out the funds from the casino. Make sure the site is secure and based in the country it is expected to be based in as a way to protect the funds invested as you play. The play will be the most fun if the winnings are not eaten away by unexpected fees that were agreed to by clicking without reading. There are many choices when choosing online games of chance. Blackjack has some of the best odds in the gaming industry. Being able to participate without going to a brick and mortar casino makes it accessible to more people than ever. Playing with live dealers gives the feeling of being in the casino and experiencing the camaraderie present with table play. The casino blackjack machine is for people who don’t want to deal with the pressure of playing with other people. The same is true online. The player controls the amount of each bet and the speed of play. Both forms of online blackjack can provide the type of entertainment being sought by individual players from the comfort of home....

Below are tips from expert financial service providers to help you avoid blowing your money when playing blackjack. Read on below to learn more. Use the basic strategy In blackjack, there is something that we call the ‘basic strategy’ or the ‘optimal strategy’ and it is not called the basic strategy for nothing. It is essential, it is very important. So, make sure to memorize the right way to double down, split, stand, or hit. This way, you will be able to successfully cut the house edge and have the chance to stay in the game longer. Do not play insurance This is a dumb move commonly committed by players who are not thinking ahead before doing something in the game. Do not place an insurance bet as it is just equivalent to winning nothing and losing nothing. So, there is nothing beneficial about it. Avoid the first base chair This makes sense especially when the dealer is rushing. Being on the first base chair will lessen your time to review the card of the dealer and what is in your hand. So, if you want ample time to make sound decisions while in the game, avoid the first base seat. Start small If you have just arrived at the table, do not go all out immediately. Just let yourself adjust to the game and feel the atmosphere first. Start small for you to be able to gauge the situation. Gauge whether the dealer is hot or cold. Remember that the casino never stops but that it is not the same case with you, especially if you run out of money. The tips mentioned above should help you prevent blowing your money and stay longer in the game. But if you’re on a losing streak, just move on and let things cool down before playing again....
