Advice to online players

Theory
And here the small list of advice which is resulted by Russian players, in my free translation:
  • Before playing online casino , necessarily check up rules of games, conditions of reception of bonuses, variants of the deposit and removal of money, and also tariffs for removal.
  • Statistics always in favour of a casino, but a wise choice of games you can improve the chances considerably.
  • You always can lose today, but tomorrow win even more. Therefore establish to itself norm of possible loss and as soon as it reach - leave a casino.
  • In the same way it is necessary to establish a limit on a prize, in fact success can and turn away from you (if to me strongly carries I put to myself, for example, such barrier - three losses successively).
  • Study rules and optimum strategy of game, practise before starting to play on money (only remember if to you strongly carried in a mode of practice it is not necessary to wait for deafening success and in real game, some casinos can entice the player successful game in a mode of practice).
  • if you cannot come off game, business badly means, you shouldn't play more.
  • " Remember, it is only game! " Even if you lose, be not upset, and try to take pleasure in process.
There is one more moment with which I think already some players collided.It is bonus-hunting.
The casino do not love a bonus-hunters that is quite natural, nobody wishes to lose money. If the player "will be lit" as a bonus-hunter, it can lead to its serious troubles in the future. There is a question, as well as money bonus to take away, and to not become the bonus-hunter? Here some recommendations:
  • Try to make as much as possible rates (even twice more minimal requirements),
  • Do not play flat bet, vary size of rates,
  • Do not play one game (blackjack or videopoker) change games
  • Dare to lose a little sometimes, you will return all in other casino or on a followingmonthly bonus.
I advise to practise a little , before game a new casino, but remember, that the results shown in a mode experts can strikingly differ from real! The matter is that also the player differently plays " on pictures " and on money, and the software in a mode of practice can be tightened up in favour of the player to ensnare its casino.
P.S. So , i reviewed mostly strategy , theory etc nuances of gambling, here you can find psychological and self-checking advices.

Casino Resorts

There are casinos, and then there are casino resorts designed for purposes beyond your typical gaming fare.
Casino de Monte Carlo, Monaco
Constructed in 1863, the Casino de Monte Carlo was Monte Carlo’s first and has been its crown jewel of casinos. The casino was intentionally planned to be a palatial gaming palace. The structure was designed by architect Charles Gaurnier who also designed the Paris Opera House.
The Casino de Monte Carlo is nearly overdone in rococo styling and architectural detail. The gaming is in traditional European style with strict behavior and dress codes. Separate salons, or rooms, provide various styles of games. The rooms are highly stylized and well appointed in their opulence. Stiff fees are charged to enter each room. Traditional European casino games of Monte Carlo are offered: European and English variations of Roulette, Punta Banco, Chemin De Fer and Banque a deux Tableaux. One of the salons has been given over in recent years to American-style slot machines. The machines stand around in stark contrast to the ostentatious period styling.
Bellagio, Las Vegas
Emerging from Steve Wynn’s Mirage Resorts Company, the Bellagio is famed for its most recent stage presence along the Las Vegas Strip. Opened in 1998, the Bellagio has been unrivalled in its lavishness and expense to build. The resort cost Wynn an astounding $1.5 billion. Wynn’s special talent, though, has been to provide Las Vegas with an entire resort package, as opposed to just mere casino games. The Bellagio is lavishly adorned with white Italian marble and boasts its own botanical gardens and world renowned art gallery that includes the work of well known masters.
Besides this, the Bellagio upped the ante in the world of retail shopping and fine dining. High rollers are comfortable here, either in their private gambling lounges or in decked out penthouse suites.
Foxwoods Resort and Casino, Connecticut
Foxwoods is owned by the Mashantucket-Pequot Indian tribe of Connecticut and is the biggest and most lucrative tribal gaming casino in the world. Foxwoods welcomes millions of visitors annually and is consistently one of the most popular attractions in New England. The casino earns equal to half of all tribal gaming revenues in the United States, raking in close to one billion dollars a year. Interestingly, the casino is also the biggest in size in the United States and possibly the world. The whole resort covers over 4 million square feet, while the casino alone accounts for over 300,000 square feet and boasts over 7,000 slot machines.
Later I shall try to make a selection of the casinos most known online.

Beginners Guide

Choose a Casino
Your first decision is to find a casino to play at, with so many casinos out there is can be much harder then you think. Different players have different expectations of what they want from a casino, however there plenty of things that need to be considered.
Download the Free software
Every casino will offer free software, whether it is downloaded or sent to you on CD. Visit the casino website and it should be easy to spot, just follow the casinos step by step guide and you will soon have the casino installed on your PC. Many casinos also offer flash games, which have no download requirement. Some of the larger software providers are releasing some highly advanced Flash casinos, which offer an excellent gambling experience.
Open an Account
Once the casino is downloaded open a 'fun account', which allows you to play with 'lets pretend' money and get used to the casino games. Never play at a casino unless you have the opportunity to practice with their software in 'fun mode'. If you think that casino software is unfair in fun mode then don't play for real. When opening a real money account, remember always give your real details to the finest point. If the casino finds that any information you have given them conflicts or is false then they don't have to pay you any winnings. Once in the casino lobby, go to their cashier icon to make a deposit. Different casinos have different deposits options available, however many casinos give you the choice of NETeller, Credit Cards FirePay and often many more. Check out what is available in the casino cashier.
Bonus Money and Wagering Requirement
Often bonus money for you first deposit will go directly into a players account and everyone's a winner. Weather you receive the bonus automatically or not it is essential to read the terms and conditions of the promotion. Be aware that all first deposit bonuses have a wagering requirement, before you can withdrawal. A wagering requirement of say 2X on a bonus of $10 means you have to wager $20 before you can withdrawal. Many casinos disqualify wagers on games such as roulette towards the wagering requirement.
Play and Enjoy your Casino
Now you have credit in your account your ready to go have a gamble, just remember this is real money. Try and stick to the games you know. Games on some software run at real quick pace so it's important to keep an eye on your balance.
