Online Casino Games - How to Get What You Want

by | Jan 14 2009

Online gaming can be a discouraging process sometimes.

It seems like no matter what we do most of us can’t hit that big, debt-clearing win. All of us want that huge progressive jackpot from slot machines or that Royal Flush in Caribbean Stud Poker, but it seems forever elusive. Or is it?

In 2008, players made millions off Bodog Casino games many consider tough to crack like: Let ‘Em Ride, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Food Fight! - a five-reel slot machine.

How’d they do it? Or how do you do it?

We’ve got some quick tips in order to get what you want.

Get That Progressive Slot Jackpot You Want

Slots can be the most random casino games, making the progressive jackpot in games like Mid-Life Crisis or I.R.I.S. 3000 a tough one to grab. To better your odds of hitting the progressive, we suggest checking out how much the jackpot in the game you’re eyeing is. The higher the progressive (like $100,000 and up) the longer it hasn’t hit. The lower it is, the more likely someone else grabbed a jackpot from it recently.

Also, you have to remember to make that maximum bet. We know it gets pricey at times, especially with the five-reel slots; however the only way to hit those big progressives is to bet the maximum coins the slot allows.

Get That Table Game Progressive You Want

Table games like Let ‘Em Ride, Caribbean Stud Poker, Caribbean Holdem and Caribbean Draw Poker all have a running meter for a progressive jackpot.

If you want a piece of one of the progressives we suggest you first make sure the jackpot is worth your dollar. For example, the chance of hitting a Royal Flush in Stud poker is approximately 649,351 to 1. It’s not worth betting a buck on every hand if there’s only 10 grand in there.

Next, you need to know the optimal strategy for the game you plan on playing. Using the best strategy will stretch your dollar, prolonging your chances of hitting the jackpot.

Get That Cash You Want in Multi-Hand Video Poker

The biggest advice we can give when playing Multi-Hand Video Poker is to max out on your wagers.

A game like 100-hand Joker Poker can pay huge if you max out. Imagine you place a max bet and hit five of a kind (at 750-to-1 odds) and 20 hands flip in your favor? For a $500 bet you could walk away with up to $15,000! If you bet one coin your win would be five times less. Best thing is the house edge is slight (.46 percent), so maxing out your bet isn’t too much of a risk.
