Summer time to continue Mega Moolah Series

Online slot machines are perhaps not the most loyalty inspiring games in the world. They’re certainly not like sports where teams have huge amounts of fan loyalty and while there are people that tend to stick with the same online slot machine for a long period of time, the vast number of new slot machines that come onto the market each year essentially means that very few slot machines are able to have large followings beyond a few months after their creation.

In order to combat this arguably systemic problem with many online slot machines, the Microgaming Corporation has stepped forward with the idea of series. A series is a number of different slot machines released in succession, with each new online slot machine in the series stepping in to pick up the slack left by the waning popularity of its predecessor. Of the slot machines that have been created in series, perhaps the most popular series that Microgaming has come up with is the Mega Moolah series. Summertime is the third slot machine in that series and it is being created with the intention of keeping Mega Moolah fans interested in the series while at the same time giving them something new to look forward to.

The artwork in Summertime is simply fantastic and that is certainly one of the main reasons that this machine has been able to attract the same viewership of people that liked Mega Moolah and African Safari, the two previous games in this particular series. With delicious fruits, beautiful landscapes and twinkling jewels, Summertime is a slot machine that definitely has the potential to take the Mega Moolah series to the next level of popularity.

There are also some new ideas incorporated into Summertime, such as the ability to land a jackpot through spinning the jackpot wheel. Landing on a red square on the spin will result in a mini jackpot, landing on an orange square will bring a minor jackpot, landing on a yellow square will result in a major jackpot and landing on the one white square will bring the Mega Moolah jackpot that forms the basis for the name of this series.

Video Poker Strategies for Beginners

Experts argue amongst each other about the suitability of video poker games in casinos and other establishments for beginners. Some believe that the player should encompass knowledge about poker to yield the best results when it comes to playing. Others argue that the pay tables are listed, and the player can easily catch on to which hands are winners and which potential losing hands are present.

In many video poker games there are suggestions made by the computer regarding the hands that will yield the best odds when it comes to playing the game. Of course, the player can choose their own hand at an increased risk and therefore can increase the potential winnings which can be demonstrated from the machine.

The basic rules of video poker can be found on the pay tables which determine which hands will yield which winnings. These rules are often found within the detailed tutorials and make it easy for those with even minimal experience playing poker to gain winnings when it comes to video poker.

Strategies can be developed to make the most of each hand that is played through each video poker hand. Following the pay tables and determining the best chances can be completed by using the choices that the computer has chosen for cards that should be discarded. This strategy is effective for beginner players and can minimize the risk which is associated with playing video poker, until they begin to get the hang of it.

Until the game is learned completely and the risks are associated with each hands, minimum bets should be wagered to ensure that losses are minimized until the game is learned more in depth.

Video poker has one of the highest percentages of payouts of all the machines at the casino and therefore is a popular choice for many avid poker fans that are visiting the casino. Next time you visit the casino or play online, give it a try and see how you fare.

InterCasino Ringing in UEFA Finals in Style

The Champions League of UEFA is big with the people that normally play at InterCasino and the people running the online casino operation understand this all too well. That is why they have stepped up to the plate (to borrow a non-soccer sports metaphor to describe a situation dealing with soccer) and created the Champions Chance Quiz tournament, which will run from May 6th to May 19th. The winner of the promotion on the 19th will get a $5000 prize package that can be converted into a trip to Rome with tickets to the final of the UEFA Champions League on May 27th.

The actual tournament is quite simple and functions on the same points system that most online casino tournaments utilize in the modern era. What makes this particular one interesting however is the fact that wagering money on the different games that InterCasino has available is not the only way to earn points. In fact, it is not even the primary way to earn them.

The main way that points are earned in this particular promotion is through answering two quiz questions about the UEFA Champions League history throughout the period of time that the promotion in running. Based on your correct answers, you get points and wagering money which can in turn be used on various games within InterCasino to increase the number of points that you can get. All in all, the winner of the tournament will need to be knowledgeable, able to answer the questions and lucky at the wagering aspect in order to win. For the top 100 finishers on May 19th however, there will be some sort of prize available.

This promotion is currently available exclusively through InterCasino, so make sure you are playing there from May 6th to May 19th if you want to take full advantage of the promotion. Since it works on the basis of two questions a day, you can actually catch up on past questions even if you are unable to start on May 6th with the other players. That should increase the interest a little bit.

Poker Ride Staying True To Its Name

When Microgaming released the Poker Ride online progressive table game in 2005, they did so in order to expand the level of card games that they offered at their online casinos. They were doing fine in slot machines, but wanted a better showing with their online card games outside of blackjack and baccarat. The Poker Ride table game actually did do that for them, partially because of the fact that the online jackpot was hit on average once every week or so. However, the positive press that Poker Ride has received recently has to be far beyond anything Microgaming could have imagined when they made this game available at all of their online casino locations.

It started on April 18th when the progressive jackpot was hit at the Poker Ride game. It was worth $106,789 and naturally Microgaming took advantage of the victory in order to release marketing notices that once again their excellent online poker casino game had allowed someone to walk home with a sweet amount of money. Then, just a few hours later (although technically on the next day), the Poker Ride machine once again allowed a jackpot to be won, this time paying out $102,024. In both cases, Microgaming was able to gain a lot of positive media out of the event and the fact that they experienced two jackpots in two days has only helped the online casino company cultivate the already positive image that many online media outlets are inclined to have of them.

In the end though, what has made Poker Ride such a great game for Microgaming has a lot to do with the general erratic behavior of the maximum progressive jackpots that are won from this game. Poker Ride is very streaky in terms of giving out jackpots and that means that it will go a long time without giving jackpots and then will give a bunch in quick succession. Online casinos love games like that because it allows them to focus their marketing efforts in the wake of the high jackpot density and get a lot of other players on board easier because they are selling the success that their machines have generated for other players. As far as this strategy is concerned, Poker Ride has been the best.
