Since its birth in 1890, the slot machine has slowly been evolving.  I read an article in the New York Times that highlighted all of the changes set to be made.

The new batches of players, who have grown up on video games are demanding a little something more from their slot machines: skill.

Besides adding physical components such as joysticks, manufacturers are also linking machines together to form a more communal game. Much like popular games such as World of Warcraft, players can communicate with each other, and have head-to-head combat.

Las Vegas has noticed many of the baby boomer’s children coming to town to party, but not gambling as much as the older players. Resort personnel are looking to change that with more interactive games.

Casinos know what they’re doing too; slot machines make up nearly three fourths of the $60 billion in gambling revenue in American Casinos.

Their main focus right now is bringing new players in, rather than recycling players who are already there.  But even when they get the new young players in they opt for less profitable table games rather than slot machines. 

Slot makers have their work cut out for them because not only do they have to keep their machines relevant, they also need to keep their most frequent users: women age 55 to 65 happy as well.

Be on the lookout for a change in casino games, online and in the casino. Surround sound, joy sticks, flat-panel displays, and vivid images, much like today’s video games are what await us in the world of gambling.  Who doesn’t want to make money from a video game? I find this evolution exciting and very necessary.

When I play slots I’m looking for four main things: Entertainment value, high payout percentage, good bonuses, and a decent hit frequency. When I was looking for this I found Casino Titan, and decided that was where I was going to play.

I was already a member, so I effortlessly signed it and selected my game of choice.  This time I’m playing with real money because I’m feeling lucky. Casino Titan has a payout percentage of 96.1% which makes my decision even more justified. they have a variety for any type of player, with over 29 different machines to play, and they don’t all look like slot machines.

I started with the Three Stooges game. I couldn’t resist the urge to make “Moe Money.” I started off slow, only betting a few lines, but eventually got up to betting all lines. I eventually got “Curly Cash” and “Larry Loot.” Needless to say, I had a lot of fun.

After that my love for Paris took my attention to the Paris Beauty game. There I scored a couple triple croissants. I played a couple spins until moving on my way.

I like Casino Titan, I just have to stop myself or I will play for the whole night. They have some of my favorite Online Slots Games, so it is hard to break away, but I managed.  I always like going there because the customer service has never disappointed, and I feel like they genuinely care about their players there.

I had a lot of fun, for sure. Now I’m going to go find other slots games to play so I can tell you about them.

Would you like to meet THE Mr. Green from Mr. Green Casino? Here is your chance! He will be attending the Barcelona Affiliate Conference starting this Thursday, the 8th. Everyone is welcome to attend the conference, which will be open the 8th through the 10th.
Mr. Green will be accompanied by the country managers from the UK, Sweden and Germany, and would love to get to know their players and partners.

They are accepting appointments for meetings, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Mr. Green Casino, in my opinion is one of the finest on the internet. They are very reputable and have just what I like in an online casino: An aesthetically appealing design, along with a relaxing setting, and interesting promotions.

Mr. Green allows you to play for fun, or play to win big! They have over 170 different games, 118 of them being video slots. They have also been named Sweden’s best online casino for the past three years!

One of the things that set Mr. Green apart from their competitors is their own personal term “Green Gaming”. Green Gaming refers to a player setting a financial limit for themselves. The player tells Mr. Green how much they can afford to spend, and the casino will not let you go over that limit.

Mr. Green is definitely where integrity and professionalism meets fun!

So if you would like to meet Mr. Green, and all of his “colleagues” head over to Barcelona this weekend for a meet and greet with the one and only! See you there!

It’s true!

Every company these days has a Groupon. How a Groupon works is you are awarded a coupon, a much discounted coupon, if a certain amount of people sign up for the same coupon, thus the company benefits from the extra business.

Rumor has it there is a Groupon-like company in the works for online casinos. This innovation will greatly impact the industry, and will benefit the player most of all. If you can’t wait any long, one website has already started their own version with their “Crewpon”.

Silver Oaks Casino’s “Crewpon” is one of the best offers around when it comes to online gaming.

How it works is you go to their website. And just for signing up you receive a 200% bonus, and a bonus chip to claim. The amount of your chip all depends on how many people sign up for this awesome offer! Here’s the best part: For every friend you refer your bonus grows, and so does your friend’s.

Last month 1002 players received a $500 bonus, this could be you.

So head over the Silver Oaks Casino and get started playing, referring your friends, and winning money!

It is another few days before we get into the April online slots tournaments, so I thought I would take this week’s post and give some tips on choosing an online slots game. Because let’s face it, we slots players do not play in tournaments 100% of the time. So while we may not have a choice on the slots game being used in an online slots tournament, we do have a choice when we are not playing in a tournament.

There are a couple of statistics about a slots game that you can use. One would be the slots game’s hit frequency; the other is its payout percentage.

Hit frequency is how often the slots game pays out. A high hit frequency bespeaks of a slots game that pays out often, whereas a low hit frequency tells of a slots game that does not hit often. But the one thing to keep in mind is that hit frequency does not give the timing of when a slots game will hit; nothing tells whether it will hit back to back to back or if the hits will be spread out. Also not indicated is how much the payouts will be, whether they will be large payouts or small ones.

But speaking of payouts, that brings us to payout percentage. Payout percentage is a measure of how much a slots game pays out of the total amount of wagers it takes in in a given time period. This percentage takes into account all of the wagers made by all the players of that slots game. So say in a month a slots game takes in $100,000 and has a payout percentage of 97%. That means it will pay out $97,000 in that month. Now this does not mean that one player will win $97,000 or that you will receive 97% of your wagers back; these payouts could be large ones or small ones—it does not matter the increments so long as it pays out 97%.

While those two figures are not very concrete judges of a slots game, they can help serve as a guide. While those two figures do not guarantee anything to you as a player, they can help you to choose the slots game with the highest hit frequency or the highest payout percentage.

Yes, it is possible to play online slots for free. Understand though that this is not a lucrative way to go about online slots, but then it is well-known that it is likely that online casinos use slots games to slowly siphon off a player’s bankroll. On that thought, if you really want to hang onto your bankroll but still want to play online slots, free is definitely the way to go.

There are two main ways that you can go about playing online slots for free.

The first is to play in a freeroll online slots tournament. Online casinos will often offer these kinds of tournaments to coincide with holidays. But be forewarned—online casinos will usually only give a small tournament balance to go along with a lack of entry fee; for players who do not mind spending the money, rebuys are available for continued play. But that would undermine the concept of free online slots.

Another way to play online slots for free is to play in an online casino in its free play or practice mode. It is still required that players create a player account. Player accounts are free; player accounts do not cost a penny until players deposit money, only then do players have money invested.

But a deposit is only required to play for real money. Free play or practice modes only require a player account. This allows customer support to better assist players should they encounter a problem.

While playing online slots for free can be fun and can even let off some stress, understand that playing for nothing means nothing is gained in terms of money. But it is entirely possible to play online slots for free.
