When we think of gambling, there are probably a few images that come to everyone’s mind: a roulette wheel, glamorous ladies, a deck of cards, and of course, dice. The most infamous of all dice games is undoubtedly craps. Craps is one of the most exciting casino games out there, characterized by a large group of people cheering and shouting around a table while women blow on the dice and one lone person holds the fate of everyone’s bet in the palm of their hand and prays they don’t roll a seven. For the new gambler however, it can also be one of the most intimidating games to learn. There are plenty of other gambling portals, like http://www.crapson-line.com, that tell you where to play- but not how.

The table layout is a bit confusing, with no clear pattern or sensible way to understand it unless you’re ‘in the know’ already. The game is very fast-paced when you’re in the casino, and it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to tell you the rules. The payouts are somewhat complicated, and then there’s all the strange phrases. What exactly is the ballerina, for instance, and why would someone say that after rolling the die? Well, a ballerina is a roll of 4, made by 2 twos. Get it? And craps isn’t nearly as difficult as it seems, though it may take you a while to remember the names for all the different bets.

The best way to start out learning craps is to play for free online and to start by only making bets on the pass/come wagers. You place a bet on the pass line. If you look at the image, you’ll see that the Pass Line block is on the outside of the main layout.

Place your chip in this spot and roll the die. This first roll is called the Come Out roll. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you’ll automatically lose your wager- this is called craps. However, if you roll a 7 or 11, you automatically win. If you roll any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number becomes what is called the Point and the dealer will place a marker onto the table just above that number so that everyone knows what you rolled. Now begins the next phase of gameplay. You have the option of placing certain other bets now before you roll for the second time. I recommend placing a chip behind the outer most line of the Pass Line block (right behind your other chip). This is called taking the odds, and it will increase your payout if you win.

Now, when you roll the second time, your goal is to roll the same number you rolled the first time before you roll a 7. A 7 will automatically end the round and you’ll lose your pass line wager. To add a level of excitement to this phase, you can also place a new bet on the Come space in the middle of the layout. The Come bet acts just like the Pass line, with the exception that you can’t place a bet on it for your first roll.

The other bets include proposition bets, field bets, and others, but start with the Pass/Come bets and as you get used to how this works, you can move into learning the other types of wagers one by one. After you get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself impressing everyone with your skill and knowledge at one of the most complicated casino games out there.

Google, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia are all protesting the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). Wikipedia and Reddit blocked all or a portion of their sites as part of the protest, and the Google logo can’t even be seen due to a black censor bar. They’re up against some heavy competition from the media industry, but having an international influence over millions of users has given them the edge in terms of making a point. And just what are they so riled up about?

SOPA and PIPA are two bills being considered in the U.S. that will affect how online outlets control information. Namely, if someone accuses a site of hosting copyrighted material, that site can be banned, their ISP may refuse to host them, financial institutions will not be allowed to process transactions for them online, their ads will be pulled, and users will effectively not even know the site exists anymore. Unless of course, the site has the resources to confront the accusation in court- which many smaller businesses do not. Many businesses will likely close and this means those sites will close for everyone, not just Americans.

So how will this affect online gambling? Well SOPA and PIPA are both aimed at foreign entities that post, host, or sell copyrighted media and/or stand to make a profit from U.S. citizens in a (deemed) illegal fashion. Gambling operations are, of course, foreign entities that stand to profit from U.S. citizens. While online casinos do not necessarily deal with media that belongs to anyone else, they are affected by their ranking on google and the ability for people to find their casino and deposit there. And if accused of infringing upon a copyright somehow, the site will surely lose revenue and maybe even its ability to make payouts to players, even those living outside of the US. SOPA and PIPA make it possible for one dissenting voice to bar thousands of users from accessing a site (even if only temporarily).

Consider the wide-ranging implications. If a user in the forum of an online poker site posts a link to a copyrighted movie, for example, the Hollywood studio could demand that the casino be removed from google listings, that banks not transfer funds to or from that casino, that ads for the casino be banned from other sites, and that the ISP prohibit users from accessing the site. Even if it’s cleared up in a relatively short period of time, you’re still talking about a huge financial loss for the casino. And it isn’t even just US players that will lose access to the site temporarily- it will be everyone.

Whether you’re a US resident or not, these are serious bills that could hurt the online casino industry and would likely not do a single thing to stop rogue casinos from taking advantage of players. You have the opportunity to make your voice heardl; sign a petition or call your senator or representative and say ‘no’ to SOPA and PIPA.

Artist Zefrey Throwell has decided to make a visual commentary on the economy via a public, week-long game of strip poker in New York city. Called, “I’ll Raise You One” the performance piece involves 48 performers  who play strip poker in shifts of 7 throughout the day from 10 am to 6 pm every day for a week, in the front window of Art in General on Walker Street. The piece does call for actual nudity, if that’s the way the game goes. Throwell did not tell the volunteers in his project what to wear, or whether they should aim to win or lose to make a point. It is for all intents and purposes a straight-up, normal game of strip poker – that just so happens to be in public where any passersby on the street can see it going on.

In an interview with the NY Times, the artist said his idea was to make a statement about the current financial state of America. Throwell made no stipulations for his fellow collaborators because he wanted them to come however they wished. Some individuals chose to show up in multiple layers while others came dressed very normally. Over time an interesting point is made. Those who come with more on end up winning and thus, accumulating more clothing. Those who come with less on tend to lose because they had less capital to start with and get knocked out of the game quickly. The well-layered players are ‘the rich’ who end up getting richer. The players with less on are the poor and lower middle class, a group from which very few manage to crawl out of (by winning often enough that they get a higher status before they are bankrupted into nudity).

As part of this concept, everyone plays by the same rules. The only difference is what they bring to the table. As Throwell didn’t make any demands concerning how the game should play out (meaning the outcomes weren’t orchestrated) his overall point is rendered more sobering and poignant. As the ‘poor’ continue to get knocked out early and the ‘rich’ continue to gain assets, it really causes the viewer to stop and think about the economic situation here in the States. Of course, seeing nude and semi-nude people playing poker in a store window would cause most people to stop and think- if not always about something as sterile as Wall Street.

I don’t know about everyone else, but as much as I love online casino gambling, this is sexier by far.

The battle to make online gambling legal in the states rages on. One of the biggest promoters of online Poker, congressman Barney Frank, announced last week that he will not be running for another term. Though it is believed that he would have won, should he have decided to campaign again, Frank says he disagrees with the new redistricting of the state’s map and has a desire to teach instead. This comes as a heavy blow to those of us who were looking forward to his continued advocacy of the online gambling cause.

However, Frank’s retirement does not mean the fight for legislation is coming to an end. Frank’s determined appeal for regulated internet gambling has brought the issue national attention, and other governmental figures seem ready to take his place. Congressman Joe Barton is another staunch supporter of regulation and recently gave a speech that pointed out how inadequate and faulty the current laws are. His bill, HR 2366, lays out a model of how the taxation and regulation of online gambling can take place.

One of the key aspects going for online casinos and their operators is the amount of revenue that taxation of gambling as an open online industry can generate. There already exists a player fan base that spends billions of dollars on off-shore operations every year. The other key talking point is that US players need protection from rogue casinos and black market operations set-up in unregulated jurisdictions. Senator Reid of Nevada is also expected to push similar legislation (to Barton’s bill) through the Senate. Between the spokesmen/advocates, the bill(s) may reach the President for approval as soon as 13 months from now.

Perhaps Barney Frank didn’t choose such a bad time to leave us after all. Check out the New York Times for more information on the current legislation being considered in congress.

Well, the Main Event of the World Series of Poker is finally at an end and as the dust settles, the face of 22 yr. old, German citizen Pius Heinz is the only one left to see. But after winning $8.7 million, it’s a pretty happy face to look upon. Playing past nearly 7,000 competitors, Heinz has become the fourth WSOP winner to be under the age of 24 in a row, and his championship has some fans calling this one of the most exciting games in the last 10 years.

This ultimate poker match started with 9 professionals but was down to 3 within a single day. It was Heinz, his Czech opponent Martin Staszko, and Las Vegas native Ben Lamb. It was expected that the 3 player hands would last for a long time but Lamb’s aggressive play cost him his spot at the final table within just 4 paltry hands. Even Heinz expressed shock at such a quick turn about in game play. What ensued was a tight battle between him and Staszko, with the chip lead changing hands 8 times, and ecstatic fans flooding twitter.com with hand by hand updates.

After 6 hours, Heinz found himself Ace-high against Staszko’s 7-10 of clubs. The support from the audience was vociferous, with many fans wearing Heinz’s trademark white hoodie and bouncing over the rails with their fists pumping the sky. Heinz claims he has no definitive plans for the millions of dollars now swelling his bank account, but the young champ clearly plans on continuing as a professional poker player.

Video Poker has been one of the most popular casino games in bars, hotels, and -of course- casinos, since it was introduced in the 1970’s. It’s also one of the highest payout games you can play (some havea payout percentage over 100% meaning there’s an expectation of positive return for the player) if you use proper strategy, making it one of the most profitable casino games as well as the most popular. While the overall machine design is similar to that of slots, and there are in fact some online games that try to combine slots and video poker, it is important to note that the 2 are extremely different. In slots, there is no proper strategy or way of beating the pre-determined house edge. In poker, however, proper play and an understanding of the game can make a huge difference in whether you win or lose.

Video poker is actually played just like real poker. It comes in just as many varieties as there are ways of playing regular competitive poker. The difference is that in regular poker you’re playing against other players and in video poker, you’re basically playing against the machine. Or to be more precise, you’re playing against the RNG (random number generator) in the software. This determines what cards you are dealt and does so completely at random- so card counting won’t help you. This is where luck in video poker is involved. However, if you know how to work with the cards you are given, you still have the chance to win real money.

The way it work is simple. Find a video poker game online that you already know how to play in real life (Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, etc.) or at least in which you know which cards are valuable and which hands will payout. You can find this information in the paytables of the game as well. Make your wager and click ‘Deal’. The game will automatically deal you the appropriate number of cards, depending on what type of poker it is (most online video poker games are a variety of 5-card draw). Choose which of these you wish to keep and click ‘deal’ again. The game will replace the cards you don’t want with new ones. You will then be paid out according to what kind of  hand you were able to make. Just as in traditional poker, some varieties of online video poker will give you the chance to ‘Double Down’. It all depends on what video poker game you have decided to play and in which virtual casino.

If you’ve never played video poker before but are interested in online gambling, this game is definitely worth looking into. Remember what I said earlier about positive expectation. Video poker can be extremely profitable as long as you learn good poker strategy beforehand.
