Even though I have been interested in online casinos for the past 1.5 years, playing in them and reading up on casino news and reviews regularly, I have never taken the trouble to check up on how online casinos actually work. Lately, a friend has been telling me that he is in the process of setting up an online gaming portal and asked me to lend a hand. I was ecstatic to be offered this opportunity, of course.

Something new I learned today from the online casino guide, Gamble Craft, is that while it is illegal for some casinos to accept US online casino players, come casinos continue to allow US online players to sign up. This is because they are using the Microgaming software.

For your information, Microgaming Casinos could allow this because they are a private company. Still, due to different US State laws, there are eleven states in the United States that Microgaming software could not be used. Interesting fact, isn’t it?

By the way, besides reviews of leading online casinos, best online casinos, casino news and casino software, Gamble Craft also has a general guide on the basic principle of probability which one could apply as a strategy in any online casino game plan. If you are serious in your casino gaming, you should check this guide out.

One of the most common questions I get asked when friends know that I sometimes indulge in online gaming is, “Which are the best online casinos?”

Frankly, although I have been keeping tabs of the online casino scene for the past year and a half, it is not easy to declare the best online casino because each top online casino offers something different but my main concern is always in the size of the bonuses and payout.

The online gaming industry is very fluid with many new casinos launched that’s why it is important to keep up to date and read up on the latest casino reviews by professional online casino players who would provide fair reviewing on top online casinos. This way, we do not have to search out the casinos and test the waters ourselves.

I was told of this online casino review website earlier today called Gamblers Lodge which I think is pretty comprehensive and would make a good ground for research of top online casinos.

Besides casino reviews, Gamblers Lodge also provides the latest casino news, information, editorial and has a forum for members to interact better and a platform to exchange ideas and game strategies for online casino games. Gamblers Lodge is suitable for all online casino players even though one may already be a “veteran”.

My friend, Terrence, was a little surprised to learn that online casinos are not legal in the United States because he knows of American friends who are into online gaming too.

However, I told him that since there are many online casino US players, there are surely online casinos that would cater to them, right? Off hand, I could not remember the US online casinos are but I did let him know that he could check up from http://www.on-line-casinos.us/

I really like this website for their online casino guide articles that are suitable for beginners in online gaming to the more experienced players. There’s one beginner’s guide to winning big time which I think everyone who is into online gaming should read, no matter if you are just playing for fun or a semi-pro player. After all, we all play to win, right?

Also, if you a looking to learn a new casino game, this is a good place to start. You can find guides to some of the most popular casino games including Slots, Baccarat, Craps, Video Poker, Blackjack and Roulette.

As always, if you are new to online gaming, you should spend some time reading, comparing, researching and catching up on the latest news in online gaming. It’s never wise to plunge in right away without having a good grasp of what online gaming is all about.

Although I do sometimes play in online casinos, when my friend asked me about Blackjack, it was out of my depth! I have come across many online Blackjack casinos before but never tried playing so far because I do not know how to play to win. Yes, playing is not enough. We need to know how to win as well. I think that Blackjack is a rather difficult game. Maybe it is because I have a short attention span and never taken extra effort to learn!

After our conversation, I went online to see what information I could get about Blackjack. Since most online casinos offer Blackjack, if you want to play Blackjack, you would surely want to know which casino offers the highest bonuses! I came across this website called Blackjack Statistics. The information provided will be useful to all Blackjack players, novice and professional, so you may want to check out the website.

I understand that Blackjack is not a game that could be easily won. However, Blackjack Statistics has provided tables and charts to help you with your game. With their game strategies, I am sure you will be a better player. After all, the fact that we are spending time in online casinos is that we would like some extra pocket money, right?

I have to admit that when it comes to online gaming, I am really just a novice. A friend wanted to know where I source for information and news on online casinos, well, I’ve got some of the best casino review sites bookmarked.

One of the more comprehensive casino review website that I visit regularly is Online Casinos Directory. I have only got to know about it a couple of months ago but I tell you, since I found it, I hardly logged into other sites already because I could get all the latest online casino news and information in one portal.

Also, one thing about playing casino games online is that there are just too many online casinos around and a wide variety of games to play that it is not easy to select the games to play. Therefore, by reading the casino guide provided by Online Casinos Directory, well written in easy to understand language, it makes it easier to decide where to play and what to play.

I still believe, though, that if we would like to play in online casinos, even if it is for fun, we should read the casino review provided by professional players so that we know what to expect from each casino. If you plan to start playing in online casinos, you should check out Online Casinos Directory for in-depth casino reviews and news.

A friend who read about my experiences and fun playing in an online casino told me that she too would like to play in one. While I do not encourage people to play, neither do I discourage it. We are all adults and we can make decisions for ourselves well and good, right?

Since she asked, I told her about Gaming Directory where she would be able to find complete online casino listings from major online casino sites to the lesser known ones. I mentioned to her that online gaming is a very vibrant and fluid industry, judging from the rate that new casinos are sprouting out to meet demands, particularly in the UK, since it is legal.

Gaming Directory has a good list of UK casinos that pay some of the best bonuses in the industry. With so many online casinos around, having a list like this or the top UK poker sites list or featured online casinos list is very helpful in guiding a new online casino player in making a good choice on where to invest her time, energy and money.

When you are playing in an online casino, you really would want to play in a reputable casino that would give you your money’s worth. With Gaming Directory, which is human edited, you will be able to save time looking for a good online casino to wager.

One of the things I like about online casinos, besides the thrill of winning, of course, is that I get the opportunity to explore games that I am unfamiliar with. Although I have been to land casinos quite a few times before and yes, I know about video poker too, I certainly had no idea that there are so many varieties of video poker. I certainly have not heard of Deuces Wild Video Poker!

When I visit a land casino, I usually do not have the luxury to check the different kinds of games. Neither do I want to wager on games that I am unfamiliar with. Playing online, I could take my time to learn video poker, especially with Jacks or Better that is said to be the easiest video poker to win, particularly suited for beginners like myself.

If you are new to video poker, never mind that you are already a pro playing table poker, you should check out the comprehensive video poker guide with tips, tricks and strategies that would help you to play to win from the website of Video Poker 247.

I don’t deny that playing casino games is entertainment for me. However, since video poker provides players with more control, I might just take playing casino games online more seriously.
