If you’re on the lookout for a new game or something where the house has less of an edge than most others then you’re looking for Craps. Craps is the game most often featured in movies or television shows set in casinos, most often you find a young man at the tables with a pretty girl who blows on the dice for luck in the movies. This is not a prerequisite to actually playing craps (and girls if you happen to find a hotboy in the area who you’d like to blow on your dice for luck then go ahead and ask him, I’m sure he’ll be flattered). The only prerequisite is a craps table, some chips and a pair of dice.

Bettors on the game don’t even actually have to throw the dice, they can just bet on whether whoever is throwing said pair of dice will win. To win in the first round the thrower must roll a 7 or an 11. Rolling a 2, 3, or 12 is known as rolling ‘craps’ and is an automatic loss. If the player rolls any other number this becomes known as the ‘point’. To win now the player must roll that ‘point’ number again before a 7 is rolled. Craps is a bit complicated so it’s best to practice before hand and read up on it as much as you can before you head out to the casinos.

Hi Folks, we’re back from hiatus with advice for new players. If you’re a beginning player and you’re looking for somewhere to test out your newly developed gaming skills you’re probably looking for a way to do that with minimal risk. Well luckily for you there are casinos out there that are looking for new players just like you and have the option of 60 minutes free play for new players. This is basically where they give you a bonus amount of points or casino dollars for signing up that you can play with for 60 minutes. At the end of that hour whatever you’ve won is yours to keep so say they deposit $50 into your account and you had $250 at the end of the hour then that $200 you’ve won is yours to transfer into your actual casino account.

Remember nothing is really free though, most places but restrictions on what games you can play or how much you can actually win. Some of the best casinos for free play are Golden Tiger and 7 Sultans.

So you’re making your first foray into the world of online gambling, you download the software, install it and now there you are faced with flashing lights and bright text encouraging you to make a choice. Where will you dive in?

Slot machines are actually probably your best bet, they require almost no skill and yet their payoff with the bells and the whistles and the clinking sound effect of coins rattling into your cup when you win is so worth it! The slots work well for a first time player online or in person, plus it gives you a chance to really experience what winning or losing will be like in real games. Some people just can’t handle losing, not even at 25 cent slot machines and that’s an important fact to know about yourself.

However, if Slots don’t sound like your thing then here are some tips - choose a game that interests you, choose a game you can afford to play, more importantly choose a game you can afford to lose at because beginners luck won’t run that far. Ideally as a new player whatever game you choose check it out and see if there are trial games that let you play without actually having to bet money as it will take a few rounds of anything before you get the hang of it.
