Bovada Casino Review

On 12.30.11, In Online Casino, By Vivi

One of my favorite places to play blackjack online is Bovada Casino, formerly known as Casino Bodog. There are so many reasons that this casino is one of my favorites, allow me to review a couple of them now.

First there is no reason to shy away from this casino because of a name change. The operators promise that is still the same great experience and login information will all be transferred over seamlessly.

Bovada has always offered great promotions, and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Along with the large variety of 120 different casino games, there is also great customer service to guide you along in your gambling. There is a live chat available 24/7 that can provide you with all the answers to your questions.

Bovada is trying to create a brand “not unlike the Virgin brand venture” and they are doing a very good job of it. Just this past year they have ventures into the coffee market, and have been very successful thus far.

Your first chip purchase at Casino Bodog is matched up to $500 and there are specials running all week. When I’m not playing blackjack I’m playing slots, and Bovada loves their slot players.

Casino Bovada is ranked 13th worldwide in overall online casino traffic and that number seems to be getting better with every aspect they improve within their company. If you are looking to have a great time playing online casino games then Bovada is a sure bet, go play!

The Best Blackjack Apps

On 10.31.11, In Blackjack Games, Online Casino, By Vivi

I love playing blackjack on my computer, but to be honest I never tried playing on my phone. So I did some research to find the best blackjack applications for your phone.

Everyone has apps on their phones. Well anyone who has a Smartphone, which is pretty much everyone these days it seems like. They have become a part of our everyday life. We “check in” where we go. We “like” someone’s picture, or we use an app to change that exact picture into a picture we will actually like. The point is if I’m using all of these apps in every other aspect of my life, why am I not using one to do my favorite pastime: Play casino games.

More specifically play blackjack, although I do fancy some free slot games, I mostly stick to my main love: blackjack.

So I started out on my hunt and found a couple of interesting things. Blackjack Multi-Hand is by far the best. It allows you to play 3 hands at once. It also has a built in tutor and offers many tips. It also is an app you have to pay for, which many people don’t like doing. They can spend $.99 on a cheeseburger, but they can’t spend it on a game they can enjoy every day. Oh well.

Ok so if you don’t want to pay the best options are Blackjack88 and Blackjack Classic.

For more tips, or overall blackjack strategy I always trust wiki, just in case you need to sharpen up on your skills before you’re dealt your hand.

Playing Blackjack Online Versus in a Casino

On 10.03.11, In Blackjack Games, Blackjack Strategy, Blackjack Tips, Online Blackjack, Online Casino, By Vivi

Some casino games translate to playing online very well, such as slots, or video poker. Many argue that blackjack isn’t one of these games, but I beg to differ.

It all depends on your level of play. Many expert players claim they can pick up on dealer’s ‘tells’, and actually sitting at a blackjack table in an actual casino is the only way to play. Then you have the expert player who just wants to play blackjack, and doesn’t really believe in dealer ‘tells’ and can play blackjack anywhere. After that we have the novice player, who doesn’t know the difference between playing at Caesar’s Palace or http://www.onlineblackjack.co.uk/.

I personally don’t mind as long as I’m paying attention, it all seems to be the same to me. Especially these days with so many new games coming out that have options to play with multiple players, and virtual dealers, it’s almost the same.

There are a few things to keep in mind no matter where you are playing. Always pay attention to everyone’s hand. This will give you a clue as to what the dealer’s hole card might be; after all you are only ever playing against the dealer, not any of the other players.

There are also different versions of blackjack you can play online that only use one or two decks, which really ups the players advantage.

I find myself in between the spectrum of experts and novice, it seems like I learn something new every day, and I will continue to learn about this strategic game. So are there a lot of difference between playing blackjack online versus playing in an actual casino? That’s for you, the player, to decide.

Online Casino Reviews You Can Trust

On 07.29.11, In Online Casino, By Vivi

There are a lot of online casinos out on the Internet. So many places to play and so little time to look into each one. But it is still very important to check out each online casino you are considering depositing your money at. You do want to make sure that you are placing your money with an online casino that is safe, fair and reputable. So if you are short on time what can you do to find reviews you can trust?

The answer is very simple. Check out a site that reviews online casinos. Now, it is true that not every single review site out there is worth its weight in words. The general rule there is ‘If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.’ What you want to look for in reviews you can trust is a well-rounded review. A review that can be trusted is one that does not sing the praises of an online casino, but gives a realistic appraisal of it—a well-rounded view.

Also to look for in an online casino review that you can trust is an overview of everything the online casino offers its patrons. Some review sites will only focus on what bonuses are offered. That is not well-rounded and does not give the player any sort of information about customer support or player rewards or games and software. It is very important to know what sort of customer support an online casino has as well as who licenses and regulates them. A solid review that you can trust will include such details.

Keep this in mind when you are looking for an online casino. The online casino reviews you can trust are the well-rounded ones that give an overview off all aspects of the online casino. But you will especially want to know its licensing and regulation information as well as its customer support details.

Finding the Best Online Casinos

On 07.22.11, In Online Casino, By Vivi

The only place to play blackjack online is in an online casino. There are many online casinos out there, but you do not want to invest your money in just any online casino. You want to find the best place to play online blackjack and that takes a bit of time and some research. But knowing you are playing at the best place for you is well worth the time and research.

Thankfully researching online casinos to play online blackjack at is not nearly as painful as some might think. In fact it is very easy. Those looking for a reputable place to play blackjack online can find out about the Best Online Casinos at sites who review online casinos. Such sites will compile reviews about each online casino’s licensing and regulation, games and software, bonuses, their customer support staffs and their deposit and withdrawal methods. Such information is very important to know before depositing any money.

Everyone’s needs for an online casino vary. Some only want to play at online casinos that are powered by certain software providers. Others are looking for specific deposit and withdrawal methods. Some want to play somewhere that is going to give them a strong players reward club or VIP club.

To get more specific about online blackjack, not every online casino offers every variation of blackjack. If there is a particular type of blackjack that you want to play it would pay off to make sure any online casino you are considering offers that specific game.

Having the best online casino to play at for you is likely to be different from another person. So use an authoritative review site like Online Casino Suite, and make sure that you are investing your online blackjack money in the best possible online casino for your needs.

Online Blackjack Bonuses

On 09.24.10, In Online Blackjack, Online Casino, By Vivi

If you are a player who wants to play blackjack online something to keep your eyes open for when looking at online casinos are blackjack bonuses. Some online casinos offer players bonuses that are aimed at being used on a single popular casino game. And since blackjack is one of the most popular online casino games, some online casinos will offer blackjack bonuses.

One online casino with such an offer is Rushmore. For new blackjack players at their online casino they are offering a 200% deposit match bonus worth up to $1,000. This means that the maximum amount that a player needs to deposit to receive the maximum amount of $1,000 from Rushmore is $500.

Players can use the extra amount of money to extend their bankroll. The bonus money gives players more room to wager with, by either increasing the amount of time they can play or by allowing them to wager more per round.

However, online blackjack bonuses can only be used with online blackjack games. Players have wager requirements to meet before they are allowed to withdraw any of the bonus money. They can withdraw from the money of their own they deposited, but unless the wager requirement is met, bonus money cannot be withdrawn.

A wager requirement is a set amount of money that must be wagered on a specific type of game. In the case of online blackjack bonuses, players must wager in online blackjack games in order to meet the requirement on the bonus money.

Despite the sound of the wager requirement, online blackjack bonuses are beneficial because they do bolster a player’s bankroll. Not to mention that once the wager requirement is met, players can keep the bonus money. Special bonuses are another benefit of online blackjack.

$0.99 Online Blackjack Tournaments

On 08.20.10, In Online Blackjack, Online Casino, By Vivi

For players who are just breaking into and learning how to play online blackjack, tournaments might seem a bit on the daunting side.

Online blackjack is a solo casino game, meaning that it is just the player versus the dealer. Novice players become quite used to this and feel comfortable. Unlike online poker, there are not other players at the virtual table to criticize a new player who might not always make the best play.

So novice blackjack players become comfortable in their one-on-one play with the dealer. But eventually the thrill of the tournament calls, and novice players find that they want to experiment with them. But a tournament is different than playing one-on-one. There are other players involved, others that are being played against, and the comfort of one-on-one play is gone.

The other aspect of an online blackjack tournament that seems daunting is cost. Players have to pay an entry fee to play and there is no guarantee that you will win. At least when playing one-on-one you know you stand a chance of winning something. But in a tournament you either play well enough to win or you do not win.

Thankfully Go Casino offers up a solution for novice online blackjack players who want to try their hand at online blackjack tournaments: $0.99 Blackjack Tournaments.

These online blackjack tournaments are hosted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on the starting day to 8pm on the next day—in other words, these are 24 hour tournaments.

The best part is that the entry fee is only $0.99. This is good for players who are new to online blackjack tournaments because it allows them to try it, and if they lose they have not lost a lot.

The $0.99 entry fee gives a player 50 tournament credits to play with. If a player runs out, he can buy another 50 tournament credits for $2.49. But rebuys are not mandatory.

A player who is only starting to try their luck in blackjack tournaments might only play through their first 50 credits and stop if they run out. There is no rule that says that a player must make rebuys. This still allows players to try playing in a tournament without losing a lot.

The $0.99 online blackjack tournaments at Go Casino are a nice way to try out and become comfortable playing in an online blackjack tournament at a very small amount of risk. And for experienced tournament players, it can serve as a form of tournament practice or as playing in a tournament for a bit of fun.

Special Online Blackjack Bonus

On 08.04.10, In Online Blackjack, Online Casino, By Vivi

Eventually novice blackjack players feel the need to actually try out the game in a realistic environment. For some this means a trip to the local brick and mortar casino to play in at a low stakes blackjack table. For others it means finding an online casino and signing up; and if this is your choice you will have Welcome Bonuses to consider.

If you are one of those players who is gearing up to take a trip to the casino, hold on a moment and listen. Online casinos are not only an option for a place to play. They also offer a place for you to practice playing in a realistic way for free. So do not write off online blackjack just yet.

Now on to Welcome Bonuses. Because blackjack is a popular online casino game some online casinos will offer Welcome Bonuses just for blackjack players. To give you an idea we will take a look at the one that Rushmore offers its new blackjack players.

The Blackjack Special Bonus that is offered at Rushmore is a 200% match deposit bonus that is worth up to $1,000. This means that the Rushmore will match the amount of your first deposit with them at a 200% rate up to a maximum of $1,000.

If a player were to deposit $500, they would receive the maximum $1,000. If a new player were to deposit $100 they would receive $200. To figure out what your bonus amount would be, multiply the amount of your deposit by 200% and that will be the amount you receive from the online casino.

But back to the example. For new online blackjack players, there is the potential to receive $1,000. Now compare that to the standard Welcome Bonus that Rushmore offers new players who do not play online blackjack: a 100% match deposit bonus worth up to $888.

Bonuses aimed just at online blackjack players is one of the benefits to playing blackjack online.

Differences Between Blackjack and Online Blackjack

On 07.30.10, In Blackjack Strategy, Online Blackjack, Online Casino, By Vivi

As players learn blackjack they like to try out what they learn. You could call it practicing, which is necessary in a game of skill. Some novice blackjack players will practice in the free play modes offered by online casinos. Others will play in low stakes games at brick and mortar casinos. But there are a few differences between the two that players should be aware of so they are ready if they switch back and forth between the two.

We will start at the beginning. In a casino blackjack is played at a table with up to six other players, for a total of seven players. When playing blackjack online, you would be playing one-on-one with the dealer. This difference affects your rate of play.

Online blackjack tends to be played at a faster rate because it is just you and the dealer. In order to not let this impact your blackjack odds, slow down your rate of play—play slower and take breaks. It will have the same impact of playing with other players because in a casino, the more players there are at the blackjack table the longer a round takes and your rate of play drops.

Another difference: at some tables surrender is allowed. This is advantageous to players as they can bow out of a round losing only half of their wager rather than all of it. Surrender is not offered in online blackjack.

Because this is a house rule there really is not a way for online blackjack players to compensate for it, other than playing according to basic strategy every time.

All this sounds like there is no advantage to playing online blackjack, but it does have some. For one thing you can play for free, which you will never find in a brick and mortar casino. There is also the aspect of convenience that comes from playing on a computer; as long as you have internet access, you can play blackjack online.

Knowing the differences between playing blackjack at an online casino and a brick and mortar casino helps to avoid mistakes made from being unfamiliar with one or the other. It never hurts to keep yourself informed.
