Posted on 03/21/2015 by Em

Poker Star is a trusted online gambling sourceThe online gambling company PokerStars has for a long time been one of the most trusted and most used sources of online gambling games, and they’ve proven again that they’re dedicated to continuously improving alongside the fast-paced and technology centered world of today with their recent decision to bring both blackjack and roulette to their mobile app catalogue.

 

What Devices?

In addition to the mobile catalogue, they’ve also made some improvements to the desktop version of their game and have added slots options as well. The new blackjack and roulette games can be found on the app stores for either Android or iOS devices and will bring serious fans of the card game the safety and security that PokerStars has gotten a reputation for.

 

Blackjack on Mobile Could Introduce the Game to a Ton of New Players

This is great news for the world of gambling, as now players will be able to play wherever and whenever they want. This could also get more people interested in online gambling as the uninitiated will be able to see other people playing the game while they’re out and about. This could potentially bring in a ton of new players who may still need to learn how to play blackjack, which means more opportunities to bet and make money for everyone.

The games will feature a well designed multiplayer system that’ll allow players to easily interact, chat, and become more social with the other people they’re playing with.

This recent upgrade looks as though it’s already proving to be a great move for PokerStars in general, as the new software will be deployed in areas where PokerStars casino games are already available and which represent roughly 50% of the real money player base.

IRS Proposes Lower Tax Deduction from Gambling

Posted on 02/14/2015 by Em

IRS to lower tax deduction from gamblingTo reduce casual gambling, which can slowly turn into a habit and addiction, the IRS has proposed to lower the amount that would trigger tax on income earned from gambling. While earlier the minimum amount for taxes was at $1200 now it will be at $600 and winner has to report it on W2G, which has to be included in their annual tax returns. Previous limit of $1200 on wins from video poker and slots was set up by IRS in 1977, and since then it has not been reviewed. As the value of $ 1200 is now $ 4627 the IRS has proposed this change which makes it burdensome on both casinos and players.

 

Effect on players of slots and video poker

This will be detrimental to $1 slot machines as these require several coins for the three bonus jackpot to come through and any wild pays above $600 would trigger a tax form. With larger reel slots of five or ten would become worse and player would have to stop the game in between spins to file a form if they are moving forward on progressive wins. As for video poker player a royal flush on $.25, game which may bring on a win with games like Deuces Wild, Joker Poker or even Double Bonus would have to be reported.

 

Opposition from gaming industry

Casinos across Vegas, Florida, New Jersey and other locations that thrive on slot casinos are protesting against this law. Besides filling up the tiresome tax form, now the casinos will have to employ people and machines to keep track of players’ activities and hand out tax forms when required. The technical aspect will also bring in lesser tourists as they would not like to go through tax process. This limit of $600 on both video and slots has increased the paperwork required from each customer in the casino. Casinos in United States fear that if this continues than people from Canada will stop coming to United States to play these games and locals might travel to Vancouver for gambling.

Generous Keno Winner Shares Prize Money with Employer

Posted on 01/29/2015 by Em

When Valerie Ballantyne gave Keno 8-Spot tickets to her employees as a gesture of goodwill for working during Rose Bowl game, little did she think that it would win her $ 30000. As the owner of Hitchin’ Post Pizza in Estacada, Valerie had plenty of orders to delivery on the Rose Bowl match day and requested her staff to work. When four of them complied, including bar manager Jonathon Davis, she bought Keno tickets for all of them and jokingly stated that they would have to split the prize with her if any of them won the jackpot.

 

Keno 8-Spot tickets

 

 Lucky employer

During the first week of Jan 2015 when Keno results were being announced Jonathan Davis was surprised to see his ticket’s numbers appearing as the winning combination for the jackpot. As promised, he shared the prize amount with his employer as she had bought the ticket. The Oregon-based Keno tickets selling branch announced that both Davis and Ballantyne took home around $30000 each after payment of taxes. Though her employees were a little sceptical of winning anything, Valerie Ballantyne was enthusiastic and had a feeling that he would win.

 

Keno 8-Spot lottery

When asked about how both of them plan to spend the money, Jonathan proudly replied that he would be buying a long due Playstation 4 for himself and family while Valerie demurely stated that the money would go into business. In the Keno 8-Spot lottery, players know their prize amount only when they collect it, as jackpot bonus grows with each draw until a winner is announced. Oregon Lottery proceeds are used for social activities like economic development, and funding educational projects. Since the state of Oregon started these lottery operations in 1985, and added Keno to it in 1991, it has contributed more than $9 billion towards these social activities for betterment of local citizens and maintenance of state parks.

Promoting Keno the Right Way

Posted on 12/19/2014 by Em
Keno Playmaker ad

Keno Power HourJust like other gambling games, it is important to have a solid promotion for keno every few months. Not only will this increase the people that walk through your door, but it can also lure long term customers.

Promotions can be tricky to manage. If the promotion is too generous and does not yield long term customers, you may lose money. Start by deciding the types of players you want to attract. Is this a promotion for regular keno players, or newcomers?

There are different types of keno promotions. Some keep it simple, with a “play five games and get the sixth one free” type of offer. Others are more challenging, but often get the best long term customer retention. For example, the promotion could consist of a two day keno tournament with several prizes and free giveaways.

No matter what kind of promotion you choose, make it easy to understand. Promotions that have a lot of details, fine prints and stipulations are going to confuse your customers. If they come to play keno and realize they misinterpreted the promotion, this could create a negative impression.

Keep in mind that keno promotions need to work from a mathematical point of view. For example, one casino decided to run a video poker promotion for three days. They offered to pay double if you got four of a kinds. This turned into a disaster, with the casino losing millions in revenue.

If you have come up with a promotion idea, run it by someone who is good with maths. They will be able to assess what house edge you are giving up and whether or not this promotion can be profitable. When everything is done correctly, you will be amazed by how many new customers walk through the door.

Gaming Commission of New York To Confirm New Licenses

Posted on 11/29/2014 by Em
NYS gaming commission logo

Run down casinoThe New York Gaming Commission’s Board has confirmed that even after three hours of continuous deliberation during their recent meeting on November 10, they have been unable to take any decision about finalizing gambling licenses for three regions in New York. The five member board has now scheduled another meeting in which they will examine bids given by gaming companies. Only after detailed study of their offerings and discussions among board members the names of successful bidders will be announced in a press meeting. Though there had been a similar meeting to discuss these issues a few weeks ago it was inconclusive for same reasons as members felt that they need more time to scrutinize application details.

What’s in store?

The venue of the forthcoming meeting for the five member team of Gaming Facility Location Board has not been finalized as yet. The board is presently examining 16 bids which have been presented by 15 bidding teams which are competing for four casino licenses in New York State. www.cdncasino.ca could be one of those casinos but for now we can only speculate because the board is remaining very tight-lipped. As the board had earlier announced that there will no casinos will be located close to cities these licenses will allow casino operators to set up their businesses in Albany, Hudson Valley/Catskills mountain area, a gambling strip between Bingham and Lake Ontario and in the south at Tien/Finger lakes region. Though no formal announcement has been made word is out that since all these areas are quite widespread any one area will be granted two licenses.

Names coming up

Some of the names of bidders for the licenses have already been announced like Empire Resort which is making a bid for revival of Concord Hotel resort in Catskills and Caesars Entertainment which is bidding for Woodbury Common Premium Outlets located in the north of New York City. Some lesser known names have announced partnership bids like Saratoga Casino and Raceway which is bidding for Newburg in partnership with Rush Street Gaming. The top names are bidding for Catskills region as it is closest to New York and the latest bidder for that area is Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, which has collaborated with Louis Cappelli to develop a resort in Thompson.

Online Craps Strategy

Posted on 10/19/2014 by Em
Online Craps Strategy

Craps Strategy OnlineIs there any game more iconic than craps? The long, green felt table, the rows of numbers, and the stylish text all come to life when they are being stared down by a gambler on a hot streak. The game of craps is a complicated one that relies on luck more than anything. You have to place your bet, blow on the dice, and then let them roll. If your numbers come up, then wham, just like that you’ll be rolling in cash. Let’s take a look at a few simple online craps strategies to help keep the dice rolling and your wallet warm.

Know Your Odds: Pick the right bets!

Did you know that there are about 43 different betting combinations on the craps table? It’s true! Most of them are actually pretty terrible for the beginning gambler or the one who wants to leave with money still in his or her pocket. Because of this, the best strategy you can use when playing craps is to pick the right bets. Avoid hardway bets and proposition bets unless you are feeling really lucky.

Play It Safe: Bet on both ends to prevent loss!

The best way to gamble is when you know you can’t lose! That’s why the “safe play” system was developed. With this strategy, you place your bet on the “don’t pass line.” Now you wait for your shooter to establish the point (or the number that they roll). Once the point is established, you then place an equal bet on the point. Now no matter what happens, you should be looking at least at breaking even, if not making a profit. Sure your upside is capped, but there’s no better feeling than bringing home some cash!

Play Your 6 and 8!

When rolling two pair of dice, you will find that the numbers 6 and 8 are the most likely combination. Because of this, you will obviously have the smallest disadvantage when betting on them. You can place a come out bet on these numbers or simply put your money down for them on the borad. Either way should eventually work out to your advantage. Betting on 6 or 8 will give you a good opportunity to minimize your losses while maximizing your capped potential.

Craps is a wonderful and complicated game. By understanding just a few simple strategies, you will find both your enjoyment and success to be on the rise.
