It is not only how you play, but where you play as well!

Choosing the right online casino is the primary step towards success when playing Tri Card Poker. We all know that every internet casino has its cons and pros and they all vary greatly. Look for the casino that offers the highest pay out rates and most striking bonuses.

Try everything and choose for yourself!

There are different variations of Tri Card poker; basically there are two options Ante & Play and Pair Plus. You can read different reviews and articles about which one is better or recommended but the best way to determine this is to play both and see for yourself which one fits your interests the most.

Stay calm an you will have the situation under control!

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when playing any kind of poker is to keep calm and do not turn into an aggressive player. Do not start over betting if you feel like losing hope of winning. You can even take small brakes to weigh the situation and then continue playing on clear mind and refreshed. As Tri Card Poker is quite a fast game it can be a little exhausting.

Giving up was never an option!

Quitters are no really known for success or big wins. Before we move on let us make sure everyone understands exactly what we are talking about. We do not mean that you should keep on playing if you have already lost quite a sum; on the contrary, you should have a pre-defined amount you can “afford to loose”. What we are saying is that do not give up after few unlucky hands. Winning in not that easy; so, keep on playing.

And the strategies…

And finally, we will tell you some simple strategies and tips that you can keep in mind when playing 3-card poker. For example, always play if you are holding winning cards (pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, etc…). King-high and an Ace-high is also a hand worth playing. Anything lower than Queen-high can be folded. ]]> http://www.prismcasino.com/how-to/5-little-known-strategy-tips-to-always-win-at-tri-card-poker-5278/feed/ 9 http://www.prismcasino.com/how-to/5-little-known-strategy-tips-to-always-win-at-tri-card-poker-5278/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PrismCasino/~3/hKN1QrJevXk/ http://www.prismcasino.com/entertainment/balancing-life-and-gambling-will-help-you-make-more-money-5258/#comments Fri, 24 May 2013 20:10:18 +0000 Chris Hohenstein http://www.prismcasino.com/?p=5258

I’m a strong believer in leading a healthy lifestyle and that those who do will be more successful in life. This statement holds true for gamblers just as much as any career in life. The ones who take of themselves outside the casino will assuredly have more success inside the casino.

So, what can we do in our lives to start making more money at the casinos?

There are many things you can do, but here are a few of the most important tips to start not only making more money, but living a happier, healthier life.

Eat well

This should be a no brainer, but many of us who gamble, are stuck eating what is available. And what’s available is not always the best option for us. Often times it consists of fast food and other foods that are very unhealthy for us.

The power that eating right holds is amazing and the change you will notice while playing gambling games will be astounding.

The right foods like bananas and other fruits along with foods high in protein will help us sustain our energy and focus. Having more focus will allow us to make better decisions and stay on an even keel when we go through losing periods. This is invaluable to any gambler and will go a long way to ensuring success at the tables.

Sleep more

This is much the same as eating well, when we get more sleep, our focus and energy levels are much higher, which again allows us to make better decisions and in turn, make us more money.

Don’t make gambling your life

It’s difficult to separate gambling from real life, but in order lead a happy and successful life, we must have the ability to separate the two. When we go on a losing streak or have a really bad day at the tables, far too often we let these mishaps sink into our daily life. The rest of the day or even the week will be a sad, depressing state of affairs and we won’t be happy until we win again. This is no way to live and you must take control of this part of your life.

If gambling is making you depressed when you lose, you shouldn’t be playing. If you are stressing out over paying your bills and are counting on winning, you shouldn’t be gambling.

In short, we should be living life and not living to gamble. Your mind and your body will thank you for taking care of it. Not only will you notice immediate results, which are what humans crave, but you will start to notice that you can play longer, focus longer and start making more money. All of this on top of the healthy benefits that will help you lead a long and happy life.

The term aggressive is defined as: “making an all-out effort to win or succeed; competitive, vigorously energetic, especially in the use of initiative and forcefulness, boldly assertive and forward; pushy”. An aggressive gambler is a player who doesn’t care who is watching, who is playing alongside them, or how they win – they will do whatever it takes to win, even cheat.

One of the most asked questions we come across in our online searches is: “Can playing aggressively get you thrown out of a casino?” The answer is yes. Aggressive playing can most certainly get you forcibly removed from any casino, even online casinos.

There are two different types of aggressive playing that can get your kicked out of a casino: simply playing and winning without thought to others, and cheating.

What is Aggressive Playing?

Aggressive behavior that leads to physical altercations is illegal, and victims can press charges against the player and the casino, which is why aggressive playing at the tables is nipped in the bud quickly – also, playing aggressively can take the fun out of the game for other players, which means less money for the casinos as their players (with their money) walk out the door.

There are some who play aggressively as a tactic to throw off other players; they bet high, they show an aggressive or imposing façade, of they literally speak aggressively to other players.

The Facts on Cheating

Hundreds of millions of people tread the “boards” of casinos each year. With such high numbers, the percentage of cheaters is staggeringly high. Dishonest casino patrons will cheat on everything from roulette to slots (yes, even slots), and bilk the casinos out of millions of dollars each year.

In some cases, aggressive playing can be misconstrued as an attempt to get away with cheating, in which case, the casino will eject you quickly. Casino security only needs to have a suspicion of cheating to throw out a player – don’t let that be you.

Play Fair and Have Fun

If you want to have fun and have a shot at winning big in the casinos, you have to play fair and be courteous to other players. Not only is aggressive playing frowned upon by casinos, but it might get you a reputation with other players that can keep you from getting in on choice table games.

Bonus, no matter what we are talking about, is what boosts our excitement and desire to do more and perform better. Whether it is our job or just another game bonus it can greatly affect your mood towards anything and casinos are no exception to that.

Usually it is exactly deposit bonuses the ones that play a dramatic role when choosing an online casino. The higher the deposit bonuses are the more appealing the options become. Of course, casinos and gambling rooms are aware of this psychological moment and no doubt they set these bonuses in a manner that they are still in a winning position. So, is there a trick? Let us find out. Here is everything you ever wanted to know about deposit bonus.

Which ones are real deposit bonuses?

Casinos offer lots of different bonuses, including match bonus, no-deposit bonus, refer a friend one and so on. A deposit bonus is the one you receive when signing up and making your very first deposit. Usually the money you place on your account should be over a specific amount.

How to know you are getting a good deal?

First of all, you should know that the regular percentage of the deposit bonus is somewhere between 50% and 200%. It would be logical to search for a casino that offers doubling your deposit; however, you may be tricked into investing much more and consequently losing more than you were initially planning to. So, be careful with that and do not forget how much you were going to spend to begin with.

Scrolling through is not always a good idea!

One of the most common lies told all around the world is “I have read and agreed to the terms and conditions!” The majority of us are too lazy to sit and read all of it as we think that it does not have any crucial information. Actually, when it comes to deposit bonuses of online casinos it is better to carefully read through all of it as it is exactly were the trick might be.

It is very important to thoroughly understand in which case you will receive the deposit bonus before signing up in order to avoid disappointments. Casinos are willing to offer lots of different bonuses for increasing free playing at their websites and consequently increasing the chances of winning.

Bingo was usually thought upon as a game played at the elderly centers; however, nowadays bingo machines and slots are becoming more and more popular among people of every age. There is one little problem though: despite the fact that slots and bingo machines are more or less the same there are still some differences that every player should know and while those who are involved in bingo more actively know everything about it, other players are not aware of some important variations. We will acquaint you with some of the lesser known differences between slot and bingo machines that come out as much more important than those that majority of us know.

The Core Difference

Before proceeding, the main difference between bingo machines and slots has to be mentioned. Bingo machines, also known as Class II machines are like real-life bingo games. You should be involved throughout the process; you should pay attention and announce your progress, etc.

As for the slots, Class III machines, it is just you versus the casino house. No two games are linked to each other and your winning will be announced automatically. Coming from this fact we can move on to lesser known differences between slot and bingo machines.

Which one is better?

Slot machines turn out to have higher win percentage than the bingo machines due to the fact that class 2 machines have merely the same odds of winning as the traditional bingo does. However, do not be misled; based on this single detail you would not be able to say that one is better than the other.

What about the law?

For some weird reason, even though it is hard to see the difference between slots and bingo machines, one is legal at all places while the other is not. Indian casinos are only allowed to place class 2 machines in their entertainment centers. It is not a secret that there are lots of illegal gambling destinations; so, if you notice class III machines somewhere they are not supposed to be you would rather avoid them.

Is it skills or luck?

If you enjoy playing video poker, then it is probably due to the fact that you like to ponder on it. If that is the case, then do not try you chances on class II machines as they are completely in no relation with your skills; poker just becomes another game of chance.

In a conclusion, here is just an easy tip for you to notice which machine you are playing on. One small detail is that class II machines will most probably have a little bingo card icon in the upper corner of the screen.

I’ve come to meet some interesting people and some weird people along my journey. Many of whom I’ve built a strong relationship with and consider to be close friends even though I’ve never seen them face to face.

I’ve managed to build a reputation among my peers as their “go to guy” when it comes to keeping an even keel. In the face of adversity, I usually keep my cool and somehow come out unscathed.

In the world of gambling, you will face many pitfalls, some of which have crushed the average gambler and sent them crawling home with their tail between their legs. The life of a gambler is not as glamorous as movies make it out to be and it can take a toll on you, both physically and mentally. It’s those who keep their senses and wits about them that stay in this game for the long haul and come out on top.

My goal here is to help those who fall into this trap. There are many of you out there and I know I can be of assistance. Believe it or not, there are tricks and tools that can be used to help curb what we call-tilt. This tilt comes out when you begin losing and it seems like the world is out to get you. Pretty soon, you’ve gone into a rage of staidness and blown all your money. Don’t let this happen to you again.

In the coming weeks and months, I will be your guide to a Zen like state of gambling. An existence far above the rest of the players that will help you not only keep your sanity, but win more money. I’m looking forward to interacting with all of you, and I hope what I bring to the table will be of use.

For those of you who didn’t know, Pai Gow Poker is loosely based on the traditional Chinese tile game of the same name. Pai Gow, which means “make nine”, is played using special domino like tiles, and is a very popular casino game in China, across Europe, and even in some Las Vegas casinos.

The card game, which is similar to the tile game but uses the value of the cards rather than dots on a tile, is played by giving each player 7 cards. The winner is determined by whoever has the best hands, a five card hand and a two card hand. There are a lot of other rules, but for the sake of time we’ll just tell you how you can win Pai Gow Poker with these simple strategies.

• If you aren’t dealt a pair, straight, or flush, just play the highest card on your five-card hand, and the next two highest cards in the two-card hand.
• Split a two pair if the top pair is an ace. If you have a two pair where the top pair are kings, split except when the other pair is deuces, then play them together; playing the two highest remaining cards in your two-card hand.
• If you have a three pair, play the highest card in the two-card hand.
• If you’re dealt five aces, split them between the hands unless you also have two kings – play those in the two-card hand.
• Bank whenever you have the chance. When you “bank” you’re essentially playing your own money against the hands of all the other players. Sadly, more casinos will only let you bank every 7th hand, but if you’re given the opportunity to do it more often, go for it.

Oh, and one last thing – don’t play the bonus bets. The casino makes more money on the bonus bets than it does on the commission it earns from what it charges players to play Pai Gow. Sure, playing the bonus bets can make the game more exciting, but chances are that you won’t win and you’ll just lose more money.

Pai Gow Poker is a fun table game with ancient roots. Use these simple strategies to increase your chances of winning, and let us know how you did. PrismCasino.com has some of the best Pai Gow Poker games online, and we are more than happy to teach you a thing or two about winning – even if you lose.

Craps is a table game that began as a dice game played on the ground; in alleyways, along sidewalks and boardwalks, and even during executions (the Roman guards were ‘casting lots’ to see who would get the clothes of Jesus of Nazareth).

For those of our members who love playing Craps, knowing the best craps bets and the worst craps bets would be a bit of knowledge worth its weight in gold and bonuses. So, since we love making our members happy, we will let you in on a secret…

The Best Craps Bets Are…

Play 6 or 8 to Win

With this bet all you have to do is slap down a bet in multiples of $6 and tell the banker that you want to play a place-to-win bet for either the 6 or 8 (can’t do both at once). The house edge for this bet is 1.52% so your chance of bringing home $7 for every $6 you play is pretty high.

Hey, that isn’t a million bucks right out of the gate, but if you play long enough, you can earn a good amount of money in the long run.

This bet is the exact opposite of the best craps bet listed above. Instead of playing a place-to-win bet with multiples of $6, you play a place-to-lose bet on either the 6 or the 8 with multiples of $5. The house edge for this particular bet is higher at 1.82%, but every time the shooter rolls a 7, you get to pocket $4.

Bet 4 or 10

This bet is a little trickier to win with the house edge at 2.44%, but if you bet $41 on the 4 or 10, you can win $20 in crisp cash money (well, once you cash out your chips, that is). This bet is for the Craps player who has a little more money to throw around and who is a little turned on by the risk-reward ratio.

The Worst Craps Bets Are…

Well, the worst craps bets would be any bets you make that aren’t the best bets listed above. If it isn’t the best, it’s quite possibly the worst. With this bit of craps betting information you can make awesome bets, win good money, and spend more time playing our great online Craps games. Win-win for everyone!

Blackjack is such a popular game that many who play and win believe that they are Blackjack celebrities. Celebrity Blackjack players are men and women who’ve taken the game of Blackjack to new, dazzling heights. Who wouldn’t feel like a million bucks after winning, well, a million bucks, but there are several Blackjack players milling around that are known worldwide for their skill, their daring, and their books.

The Team Players

Team players are the Blackjack celebrities who’ve become notorious for ‘team playing’, also known as counting cards. One of the top team players is Ken Uston. Ken is a founding member of the team player genre of Blackjack play. His ability to beat the house became so well developed that he was banned from nearly every casino in Las Vegas – this didn’t stop him, though. In order to continue playing and winning, Uston created rather detailed disguises that he wore while playing in casinos where he’d been banned. They really should make a movie about this guy.

Blackjack team playing took a whole new turn when J.P. Masser and his college friend Bill Kaplan, both M.I.T and Harvard graduates, worked to improve upon the Blackjack team player model. Because they were such savvy businessmen, they took what they learned and turned it into a multi-million dollar income. Not all M.I.T Blackjack team members fared so well; Laurie Tsao was arrested in 2008 on charges unrelated to card counting (card counting isn’t illegal, but casinos don’t appreciate the card counter’s unfair advantage over the house), but the charges were later dropped in 2012.

The Master Teachers

Not all Blackjack celebrities are known for their controversial card counting exploits. There are Blackjack celebrities who earned their status simply by being extremely skilled players. These Blackjack players became celebrities when they took their skills and knowledge, and wrote them down so that others could learn to beat the house and win big at the Blackjack table.

Steve Forte, author of the bestseller, “Read the Dealer”, is a phenomenal Blackjack player. His book provides novice and expert Blackjack players alike inside information on how to beat the house. The book became so well known that casinos had to change the way the games were played in order to keep readers from using the tricks they’d learned to win money.

There are skilled Blackjack players strolling into Las Vegas casino every day, but there are a number of would-be Blackjack celebrities who never set foot in a real casino. Some of the top Blackjack players online could give the above celebrities a run for their money and we at Prism Casino are proud to say that some of our members make that list.
