Redesigned $100 bill coming in October

2013-04-24T14:44:00.001-04:00

The $100 bill will once again get a redesign to add even more security. A couple of weeks ago I got $100 bill from the bank. When I tried to use it the retail store didn't accept it as it didn't have the security strip. Apparently the Benjamin was a $1980's bill which lacked any of the security features of today. Starting Oct 8th you will see a new $100 that adds blue, 3-D security ribbon and a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell.

Tablets and mobile phones – which gadget should you choose for gaming?

2013-03-11T14:56:00.000-04:00

Tablets have become extremely popular for online gamers, with increased compatibility as the demand rises, and sometimes extra features. For example, when playing in online casinos on tablet devices, you can sometimes have access to chat rooms where you can talk to other gamers, exchange tips etc. and play real time games against real opponents. Online casinos and games are also very responsive and interactive on mobile smart phones nowadays, although you have a much smaller screen to play with and also a slower processor. A lot of casino games are available in Flash, but due to the popularity of Apple products, gaming manufacturers are making more and more games that are compatible with iPads and iPhones, so you can easily find casinos that will work on whatever device you may have. Some of the casino games you can choose from are online poker, pokies and arcade games, online roulette, blackjack, and many more. Slots is one of the easiest games to play online by yourself and is probably more enjoyable than playing something like roulette or blackjack with which you might want some player interaction. You can play a lot of these games without downloading any software if you don't want to, and can play them straight from the browser. The latest tablets available on the market offer HD screens, so the graphics can look very impressive, and they also offer more space than smartphones, so if you do decide to download casino software, you are more likely to do so on a tablet. The great thing about online casino is that you can get big cash bonuses when you play for real money online. It can often double or triple your own money so that you have a great starting point. It's worth taking time to browse the different sites and find the best cash bonuses.
