Thread: Not a game, just a gambling activity
Introduction Designer: Francois Blanc Year of publication: 1842 Very short review: Roulette is a casino gambling activity, not a game. Preamble There are many versions of commercially available sets of Roulette, so it would be hard for me to comment on those. Therefore, this review is for the “game” as it is played at the casinos. Game components The game comes with: – a big table containing the many betting areas. Notice that there is a French roulette (sometimes also called English roulette), for which the table looks like this: and an American roulette that looks like this: – the Roulette wheel with all numbers from 0 to 36 (the American roulette also shows a spot for 00) disposed in a very specific way; – a metallic ball that turns on the wheel; – chips in different colours to identify the players and their bets; – a helpful dealer to rake in the losing bets and pay the wins Game play Each round plays exactly the same: – the dealer announces that all bets of the preceding round have been paid and that new bets for the next round are now possible; – the players simultaneously place their chips on the betting areas; – the dealer moves the wheel in one direction; – the dealer takes the metallic ball and spins it in the opposite direction of the wheel; – the dealer announces “No more bets” with a sweeping hand over the table as the ball loses momentum; – the ball comes to a rest after hitting some of the obstacles on the wheel; – the dealer announces the winning number and places a marker on it; – all losing bets are taken out and the dealer proceeds to pay the winning bets. Game end and scoring There’s no “game end” per se, the patrons can join any time and can leave any time as well. The “scoring” is basically a matter of how much profit or how much loss you make during your time at the table. Personal comments I am lucky to live in Montreal, the most French-like city in North America. So much French that our casino here even has the French roulette tables (officially called English roulette by the Socit des Casinos du Qubec), which I prefer. The Roulette is one of the most honest games in a casino and one where the least “knowledge” is necessary. Yes, blackjack players will tell you that with perfect memory, nerves of steel and years of training they can beat the house but when I go to the casino, I go to have a good time and relax, not to work, so Roulette is my game. It’s a bit hard for me to give a meaningful rating for Roulette because on one hand it’s partly a “1″ (“it defies description of a game”) but on the other hand, it’s a “10″ (“I always want to play”). Roulette is totally luck-driven, the “choices” that you make (which numbers or groups of numbers to bet on) are not meaningful at all, you are at the mercy of the wheel, so whether you win or lose is totally independent of any merit (or lack of) on your part. One of the main risks with playing Roulette (or any other gambling activity) is becoming addicted to the activity and not knowing when to stop. Thousands of people have lost all their money at the betting tables, so much that here in Montreal the Socit des Casinos du Qubec (the official body controlling the casinos in the province of Quebec) has set up a program called “SOS Jeux” to help those people with a gambling addiction. As long as gambling stays a pastime and not an obsession, going to the casino and having fun for a night at a Roulette table is a very interesting way to push your luck.

What are the odds? Craps vs. Blackjack
Which game has better odds: Craps or Blackjack and why?

How can I get my Samsung Blackjack to produce sound?
This Samsung Blackjack doesn’t make any sound. Is there some magic to loosen its tongue, or is it busted? I’ve inherited a Samsung Blackjack from work. I called AT&T and got it unlocked, so it’s working with my TMobile SIM. It doesn’t make any sound, though. For example, if I go through the menus to select a ringtone and select “Play” from the menu, there is no noise. The volume control on the side only brings up the “Earpiece volume” slider. I’ve done a hard master reset to no avail. The phone is not set to “Silent”. I do not know if it made sound prior to being unlocked, except insofar as it did not make any noise while going through the Windows Mobile startup routine while still locked to AT&T. This being my first Windows Mobile device, I have no idea if it was supposed to. Google only turns up “I can’t make my Blackjack silent enough” or “How do I put it into silent mode?” or the like. Any ideas?

Thread: Re: Can$ 35 profit in the nick of time!
I play at the French roulette (which here in Quebec is called the English roulette), so that the house edge is half of that (2.7% to be more precise) Yes, I cannot figure out why someone felt the need to add another 0 space to a game that is already difficult to win, even in the short term. 2.7% doesn’t seem like much, but when you consider that they make 2.7% of every dollar on the table on each spin, it certainly adds up. …And the house edge being 2.7%, we’re really talking about Can$ 5.40 for my fix. Now you tell me which other entertainment costs as little as this. Agreed, but keep in mind that your assessment would only be true if you played C$200 exactly. Keep in mind that while you may bring C$200 to the table, you may actually be playing C$1000 worth of chips over the course of an evening, as more chips are won and your amount of cash fluctuates. With an expected loss of -2.7% on each spin, you can see why it is easy to drop $200 quite fast since -2.7% of $1000 is $27. If playing with two “0″ spaces, expected loss would be $52.60. And that is just an expected loss figure. Imagine if you were unlucky in the short run how fast your money would melt away. Since roulette bets are an “all-or-nothing” proposal (i.e. you either win the bet, or lose the whole thing), it wouldn’t take much bad luck to ruin an evening. What other games do you play? I try not to play any game where I don’t receive at least what my risk is worth. “But,” you might say, “there are no games in the casino that offer those types of odds”. Ah, but there are if you look closely enough! I enjoy Blackjack, and I’ve learned how to count cards effectively. This pushes my winning chance up to about 51-53% over the long term. It doesn’t guarantee a win each time I’m there, but in the long run I take the casino for more than they get from me. 1-3% adds up over the course of thousands of hands of blackjack. And card counting isn’t cheating either, so I don’t feel badly about it. I also enjoy Craps, but I don’t play center bets or other sucker bets (dont even get me started on the “Big 6″ or “Big 8″ bets… yeesh!). Betting behind the pass line is one of the only places in the casino where you get true odds, meaning you get exactly what your risk is worth. There is the issue of the ante that is paid at only 1:1, but this is negated on tables with fair odds allowances. In Canada, the typical allowance is only 2-5 times the ante bet, meaning a steady .5-2% advantage for the house, but this is why I don’t play Craps in Canada. In Vegas you can get 10 times odds on most tables and 100 times odds on a few. This effectively negates the house advantage (its a really low number like .00005, but I don’t want to waste time calculating it). Well, I do keep track of the numbers that came up, but that’s just to choose which numbers to play next. Yes, I know that this would only be valuable if we were talking millions of turns and not just a few, but still, it beats randomly choosing. I hate to disagree here, but I must. In the short run (the time you are at the casino) there is no use in recording the numbers that are spun. The event of each spin is indepedant from the previous ones, and the law of averages is only able to kick in over the long run (the long run being an indeterminate amount of time, but definitely much longer than the few hours you are at a casino for). Try this experiment: Take a six-sided die and start rolling. Record the number of times each number is rolled until you have an identical amount of each number recorded. Just how long will that take? It certainly could happen on your first 6 rolls (the odds are only 1.542% that it will though). Then again, it could take several thousand rolls to make it work out evenly. Now imagine playing this game with a 37 or 38 sided die (the same number of spaces on a roulette wheel). How long would that take to even out? I don’t want to even begin to think just how long the “long run” is in this case, let alone try to calculate it. So what are the odds that in the 100 spins that you are sitting down at the table that the law of averages kicks in and we find a purpose for writing the numbers down? Astronomically low, much like recording the winning lottery numbers each week would be. And talking about life savings, have you heard about Ashley Revell? Yes, I’ve heard this story before. It is certainly true, but you notice that even though he bet all of his winnings on supposedly “one spin of the wheel” that he only walked away with double his money? The truth of the matter is that he’s done this stunt before, and has lost in the past. In this case he didn’t wager it all on one number like the Wikipedia claims. Rather, he made a series of large bets, ending up having one that paid off, at which point he wisely decided to walk away from the table. It’s a nice story, but there is a lot more information to it than just what the wikipedia provides. I can’t remember where I read the whole story previously, but I’ll wager (pardon the pun) that you can find the full thing by Googling it. Phew, all this gambling talk makes me want to go to the casino. Blackjack anyone?

Love Bingo Review
Love Bingo Overview Love Bingo is powered by St Minver software and ‘aims to be the heart of online bingo’. It is one of the most innovative bingo sites around, and offers great promotions as well as an unique loyalty scheme. Signing Up Signing up with Love Bingo was very simple, and I was sent a confirmation email very soon after I had entered in my personal details. You need to click a link in the email which triggers your 1 bonus with Love Bingo. The next time you log in you’ll find that you are all set to play free bingo! Unlike other bingo sites that have major restrictions on withdrawing winnings derived from bonus money, Love Bingo allow you to take home anything you win from your 1. As well as the no-deposit bonus, Love Bingo also offer a 100% deposit bonus. My first deposit of 10 was easy enough to accomplish, and there’s something very satisfying about seeing your balance read 20 when you know that you’ve only spent a tenner! Homepage The Love Bingo homepage more flashy than its competitors, but without being too loud and busy. From the homepage you can access the Love Bingo blog, which informs you about the latest happenings. As well as standard promotions and community tabs, Love Bingo offer a comprehensive FAQ section. Playing Love Bingo There are currently only two bingo rooms at Love Bingo, which isn’t necessarily a weakness. Its intimacy means much better chat and more interaction from the CMs. Even in games with over 70 people, the chat wasn’t flooded with the usual ‘3TGs’. Instead players gossiped about cuppas, cold weather and the X Factor. Again, Love Bingo only has 90 ball bingo, but through specialisation it has managed to create a better product for us, the consumer. The bingo console works well and is dressed in an elegant purple skin. Love Bingo also give you the choice of different chat rooms, which you may want to try if you are indeed looking for love! The current top jackpot stands at a staggering 23K, and the snowball jackpot is available to those who bingo in 50 calls or less. The news that WagerWorks games, such as Monopoly, are now available on St Minver sites only furthers the case for depositing with Love Bingo. Our Verdict Whilst the list of permanent promotions may not be eye-watering, Love Bingo run some cracking seasonal promotions. I enjoyed the chat and games at Love Bingo, and it definitely stands out as the most innovative of the St Minver bingo sites.
