Attention: Mega Moolah is Looking for the Next Millionaire!

August 16, 2016

Microgaming’s legendary slot machine Mega Moolah celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. One of the most recognisable slots ever instantly brings to mind images of millions of pounds won with a single spin and lucky people whose lives have been changed forever.

Mega Moolah's JackpotsAnd that’s no coincidence. In the ten years of its existence, the slot has managed to turn more people into millionaires than any other. Remember the soldier from Cheshire who hit £13,2 million with a 25p bet last October? Now it’s your turn as you could be the next one to win big and that can happen right now.

Mega Moolah is thrilling to play any day because of its African Safari theme, its vivid colours, and cool graphics and the progressive jackpot that grows every second, every time someone plays the slot. It is a game of hope, so to say. With so many people aiming their positive thoughts and investing their coins in the game, hitting the jackpot is more than getting rich. It’s like living the dream of millions. It’s a responsibility and a blessing and, I’m sure, the Mega Moolah millionaires feel like they’ve been kissed by Lady Luck.

Slots are a popular choice for people who want to win a life-changing amount of cash (and who doesn’t?) because they’re easy to play and you can test your luck at them by wagering a practically symbolic amount of money. It is true that no other game could reward you with so much by asking you to participate with so little.

But why Mega Moolah? Because this 25-payline, 5×3 reel slot is a progressive slot and it’s extremely popular. The fact that it’s popular means that millions of people play it all the time and that means that the progressive jackpots is constantly growing. Also, despite the fact that you can wager as little as 0.01p, since the chances of triggering the bonus jackpot increase when you wager more, many people bet max (that’s around £6.25 per spin) and thus the jackpot grows even faster.

But let’s have a look at that mysterious jackpot we’ve been talking about. Actually, it’s not a jackpot – there are four of them. There are the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega Jackpots. You get to play for one of them when the wheel of fortune is triggered. The best of all is that it’s triggered randomly. That means you could trigger it on your very first spin!

Also, hitting the mega jackpot guarantees you at least a million. And in many people’s cases it means hitting over £10 million. That exclusive opportunity has recently arisen because over the weekend the jackpot once again passed the £10m mark.

So, if you’ve been wanting to check out the Mega Moolah progressive slot, now is the perfect time for it. With a jackpot that tempting and so many people playing the slot, the Mega Jackpot could be hit any minute now. And the next Mega Moolah millionaire could be you, dear reader!

The Best Blackjack Variations to Try

May 17, 2016

When it comes to playing online, blackjack is my favourite game and I am sure that there are millions of players that feel the same way. Why? For so many reasons, starting from the bonuses that you get to play with and all the way to the extravagant variations that casino sites feature. I also love the fact that I can play on my iPhone with the help of the casino apps that I can download straight from the official store. Many people used to question the safety factor when playing online, but those days are long behind us, since all casino operators undergo rigorous testing and licensing processes, which ensure the safety of your personal and banking data.

Blackjack Games and VariationsThat being said, let’s look at the best blackjack games to play for real money and why they are recommended. First and foremost, you should always choose a game with a high RTP, because this is what will affect your bankroll in the long run. You can find the individual RTPs of the game sin the help section and the overall RTP of all blackjack games at a certain site is regularly checked by international agencies such as eCogra. That being said, the game with the highest RTP of all is the classic version of Single Deck Blackjack – 99.91%. One of the things you should consider is that the more decks the game is played with, the higher the house edge. But there is an exception – Blackjack Switch, which is played with 6 decks, but has an excellent RTP – 99.87%. This is thanks to the possibility of switching the top 2 cards of your hands, turning potentially disastrous hands into potential winners. There are also some interesting sidebets that can bring you a nice extra win, about which you can read more on this page.

And if you are a fan of live dealer games, then you should definitely try one of the great titles featured at 888 Casino. Their live-dealer platform is powered by Evolution Gaming, which means that you can expect nothing but the best. They even feature a pretty fun table – Party Blackjack, where entertainment plays the main role and believe me when I say that the fun never stops on this table. The dealer and the host sing, dance and tell jokes and you are invited to do the same. You can find more information about the other live dealer games here. And if you want to play on the go, have no fear, because there are dedicated apps that include live blackjack games and you can play anytime, anywhere.

Christ Almighty, Biblio Babe discovered online Bingo!

December 9, 2015

bingo-7626683How do I put that..well..you know I introduced myself as more of a casino player? Thing is, recently I came to spend some time trying out some bingo sites and boy did I have fun! I have to confess to have been missing out all this time! So I thought it’s about time (and only fair) to introduce to you online bingo.

I was gonna go into history but let’s be honest, nobody is that interested (the ones amongst you who are have surely heard of wikipedia). So I am just gonna focus on what I found interesting and useful. For me personally, the big issue was the image I had about bingo, so see below what I found out looking at it a bit closer. I will quickly walk you through the most common misunderstandings about the game online and give you some advice on how to handle them.

You know that image of bingo being a game for old people? Apparently not online – about 30% of players now are under the age of 30. And if you still think you might sound lame if you share amongst friend you play bingo (me? I never thought that..it was a friend of mine..ahem), just to let you know Robbie Williams and Prince William are known to love the game so chill, you are going to look cool. Oh and if someone tells you it is mostly the unemployed that play bingo – couldn’t be wronger – according to statistics there is a peak in online games at lunch time and after work, so evidently bingo appears to be played by people who do work and likely as a way to relax and give themselves a break.

Another myth – often players do not trust the randomness of the numbers in online bingo. You know the guy (alright, the maths professor, Carl Leffler) who invented the unique 6000 combinations of numbers for the original bingo? He lost his mind to achieve this. Nowadays random number generators are used so we don’t have to lose any more scientists every time we want to play bingo. I am kidding. It guarantees you will not get cheated on – the numbers are as random as random can get.

I have heard people say that bingo sites are anti social. That also couldn’t be further from the truth since on all the sites I tried there were strong and friendly chat communities and very helpful staff (even too helpful for my personal liking). You will definitely make friends from all over the place, get a lot of advice or just kill off some time chatting whilst you’re waiting for your numbers to come out.

Now all that is said, it is not all that smooth – as you are well aware (if you are not – you should be), there are a lot of sharks in the gambling industry, so bingo is no exception. You should be careful as there are hundreds if not thousands of websites offering you the world. You should make sure the site you have chosen for some bingo fun is reputable – look out for some reviews and user opinions online, thanks to google that shouldn’t be too much of a hard task. Another thing you should be aware of is the bonuses and special offers you can get – you are the client, so make them work for it. You can kick-start the new year with some hot bingo bonus codes for 2016 I dug out for you. In any case – trust me, online bingo is fun and you should give it a go and if you come across any issues or questions, funny facts or simply win loads of money – do get in touch. I will be (more than) happy to hear from you, especially in the last case..remember I am your best friend, right?

Wishing You A Warm Welcome

August 31, 2015

hyacinth-773384_1280Hello and welcome to what will be the greatest blog on all casino-related topics. You see, casino games have always fascinated me and there was a time when I couldn’t think of a better way of spending my free time than trying out the latest blackjack or roulette strategy that I had come across. Don’t get me wrong, not that I don’t feel the same now, but presently I have little to none free time and when I do play online, it’s for my next post or project.

You see, I am not exactly what you would call your regular punter, because I am not only interested in the gambling and winning part. I also like to keep up with the new software development in the business, the latest merger, the latest game releases and so on. Basically, all that has something to do with online casinos. I mean if you only knew how dynamic, vibrating and fascinating this industry is. My personal interests aside, this blog will bring you hot, sizzling news on the biggest names in the iGaming industry. Whether we are talking about operators, software providers, payment processing companies, all the juicy stuff on the newest games, acquisitions and so on, you name, I will post it right here.

Of course I am aware of the constant growth in the mobile gambling industry and the need for bigger, better, more smooth mobile apps, so I will be keeping an eye on this aspect as well. From my personal experience I have noticed that all big casino operators are making their mobile apps richer in terms of variety and number of games, as well as trying to make them compatible with all mobile devices, including Blackberry and Windows Phones – or should I say Microsoft Phones.

Anyway, I promise you it will not be boring and I will do my best to bring you the latest news in the industry and give you a few hints on how to be quids in at the end of the day. See you soon!
