There is nothing better than kicking back in your favorite chair and playing a few rounds of video poker. This is a great game that has all of the fun of regular poker but with less intensity and more money. To play the game well there are a few tips that players should know in order to help them maximise their winnings. At the Casino Las Vegas there are loads of excellent video poker games to be played so try them all out and choose your favorite. The trick with video poker is to realise that each different twist to the game affects the odds of winning, for example with Jacks or Better video poker the odds of winning are lower than tens or better but the prizes are higher. So tip number one is to know exactly which game you are playing and what the odds are of winning. The second tip is to know which hands to play for. Some players when confronted with four cards of the same suit will feel that they have a worthless hand and change others will play for the flush. Some players will find it very difficult to decide between the hand that they have and one that they could make with the switch. These are the decisions that define whether you make lots of money or a little bit and the way to make sure that you win is to study the maths behind the games. Technically speaking the player should have the advantage in video poker and the player who knows how to use that edge will win money every time. Take advantage of all the information that is out there and your next trip to the video poker machines at the Casino Las Vegas should be a very profitable one.
The recent signing of an agreement between the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will lead to a new regulatory framework under which the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) will launch online gaming later this year. On offer to Ontario players will be online lottery tickets, instant tickets, interactive casino games and peer-to-peer online poker. The AGCO is responsible for regulating gaming in Ontario and upholds the requirements of the Gaming Control Act 1992. This new arrangement between the AGCO and AGCC will see greater exchange of information and cooperation during investigations and inspections. Additionally new initiatives will be developed in the areas of common standards, requirements, testing protocols and other matters that will enhance integrity, consumer protection, public confidence and anti-crime measures. This is just the latest agreement in a string of recent collaborations between various jurisdictions around the world. One of the latest, for example, was a bilateral cooperation agreement between the Jersey Gambling Commission and the Danish Gambling Authority and the the AGCC has already entered into cooperation agreements with regulators in Denmark, Nevada, Kahnawake and now Ontario. The objective of this new framework is to promote social responsibility and ensure that players are protected through enforcing a level of honesty and integrity in the online gaming operators. At this stage, it is thought that the new online gaming will be launched by OLG at the end of this year – a full 18 months after the first announcement of plans to launch the service in Ontario.

Ontario is on the way to legalizing Las Vegas-style single-game sports betting, thanks to a private member’s bill by NDP MP Joe Comartin to amend the criminal code to allow wagering on hockey, baseball and other sports. End of Prohibition Comartin’s bill, which would end the prohibition on betting on a single sports fixture passed the Commons on Friday and now heads to the Senate for final approval. The bill would allow Canadian sportsbooks to take single bets, rather than just the existing Pro-line which requires a bet on three or more games simultaneously. Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, who supports the bill, said he had written to the federal government several times to push for such a change. He said Ontarians who like gaming like single-sport wagering, and therefore it should be legalised. Good News for Casinos Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation CEO Rod Phillips said in reaction to the vote that although there are still important details to work out, the legalisation of single-game wagering would represent good news for local casinos. The cash-strapped provincial government could use the move as a way to help eliminate a $16 budget deficit. In Windsor alone, it is estimate such a move would generate $70 million in betting each year. Online casinos could be next on the cards, so Ontarians have the freedom to bet at a real venue or on their computer.

“Olympics 2012” feature on top of the list of sports markets at online sportsbooks, as well it should. The 2012 London Olympic Games are the biggest sporting news of the summer, and a tremendous sports betting opportunity. The list of markets runs long on William Hill Sports. Each day are new markets – new competitions, qualifiers and finals, sorted by gender, weight classes, and of course sports. Odds for specific matches, overall winners, number of medals (Gold, Silver or Bronze) and many other categories – all will keep you busy, fascinated with the opportunities that these Games bring along. You do not need to be an expert of Olympic freestyle swimming or the 800m run competition. But don’t rush to bet on sports markets you are familiar with, if the odds are poor or the result a given. William Hill Sports and other sportsbooks give you a greater breakdown than you could ever imagine, including (for basketball): top scorers, the margin at the end of each quarter, and the end result, of course, too. So if you think you know the USA Men’s Basketball Team will win the next match against Nigeria, you might have a hunch that the US Team will start slow, in which case a bet on the first quarter margin might be your niche. In other words, opportunities are plenty. But they run only until August 12!
