			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Progressive online jackpots have become a hugely popular method of online gambling for players at just about any casino Australia, and this is mainly because they offer much bigger payouts than regular slots or pokies.

</div>
<p>You win the jackpot in slots when all of the needed symbols are seen on the reels of the active pay line. This is what is known as traditional slots. This symbol is called a wild symbol. Some progressive slots will have a unique symbol or name for the jackpot to be won. Sometimes the jackpots will reach into the millions of dollars. Since this is so huge, there is a rule that you must bet the maximum amount in order to get the full jackpot.</p>
<p>So, what is the point of playing this kind of game? The more you bet and the more you play the higher your chances of wining. Although, since the odds are difficult and the games are random the player may get discouraged. You become so fixated on winning the jackpot that you find yourself playing more and more rounds to win your money back. This is what is so exciting about the game, but is it worth it? Many say yes. Who will win is not set and everyone has an equal chance of winning. It’s an amazing adrenaline rush that you’ll get from this game and other games of a similar nature &#8211; and with the great bonuses you can get from the casino you will have more bank roll to enjoy your gaming.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While gambling is one of the world’s oldest pastimes, gambling online is a distinctly modern phenomenon.

<div class="post-image-content"><a href="/images/en/24ktgold-casino"><img src="/images/en/24ktgold/120X240/24kt_120x240_Craps_002.gif" border="0" alt="" width="113" height="207"  /></a>

<p> The internet has given easy access to online casinos, online pokies and sports betting websites. It is as simple as choosing the best one that suits you. As a gambler myself I understand the apprehension that those who are new to online gambling often feel. There are many questions that need answering and many fears that need to be allayed. I will  put my 9 years of online gambling experience to work to try and help you out.<br />
There are three casino software platforms that I would personally only ever play with. They are Microgaming, Playtech or the Cryptologic software platforms. Since these are known names and you can trust them 100%. While all of the points covered above are serious things to consider when browsing the internet looking for a place to gamble online, this applies mainly to casinos not listed on this website. Since we here at CGI Casino Gambling Index! only ever review and use fully licensed, fully regulated gambling sites. We also require that  they have land based offices, 24hr support and use the latest and greatest casino technology. We would never promote any unlicensed  casino or gambling sites. We consider such casinos to be unethical and down right wrong. My mother raised me far too well to associate myself with the likes of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In online poker and at real poker tournaments everywhere, there are certain terms used to describe players.  &#8220;Tight,&#8221; &#8220;loose,&#8221; &#8220;aggressive,&#8221; etc.  What do these terms mean and how can they help you identify your opponents&#8217; playing styles and likely tactics?  This guide is designed to help you figure out how to slot your opponents and what to do against them to minimize your losses and maybe even take some of their own hard-earned cash. Whether you&#8217;re at a <a title="Swiss casino" href="http://www.backgammonswiss.com">Swiss casino</a> or a <a title="French casino" href="http://www.french-backgammon.com">French casino</a>, whether online or in real life, here are some characteristics to look out for.</p>
<div class="post-image-container image_right">
<h2 class="post-image-title">&nbsp;</h2>
<div class="post-image-content">
<img src="/images/cards/cards_poker_photoshop_1308138_l.jpg" alt="" width="277" height="207"  />
<div class="separator"></div>
</div>
<div class="post-image-footer">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<p>Tight Aggressive<br />
These are the players you want to be like.  Think of how Mr. Spock would play poker and you&#8217;re on your way there.  These <a title="poker stars" href="http://www.tacticpoker.com">poker stars</a> don&#8217;t play a lot of hands, but when they do, they do it strongly and with a real knowledge of the game.  They&#8217;re hard to read and tricky, and they can be mighty unpredictable once they&#8217;ve established their playing style at the table.  They&#8217;ll go in with a great hand, sit out five or six rounds, then suddenly take everyone&#8217;s money playing with a 7-2 split.  When you identify one of these pliers, stay out of their way unless you&#8217;ve got a fantastic hand that can take them down.  You hope.</p>
<p>Loose Aggressive<br />
This guy watches way too much poker on TV and thinks they&#8217;ve got that playing style down pat.  What they don&#8217;t realize is that poker games are edited for TV to show only the most exciting moments and the fact they&#8217;ve downed a couple of bourbons is only going to make them more aggressive.  Don&#8217;t bluff or get involved with too many marginal hands with them on the board.  Look to use their bluffing against them when you have a strong hand and you might find someone who&#8217;s gone all-in holding a pair of twos when you&#8217;ve got a flush.</p>
<p>Loose Passive<br />
Ah, the calling station.  They do the opposite of what they&#8217;re supposed to do at the tables, calling with mediocre hands and not making the most of their bigger hands by raising and pushing the game forward.  Why do they do this?  It&#8217;s usually ignorance or fear of playing, but it can actually be a part of their personality that&#8217;s rooted deep-down.  Play showdowns against them, push your good hands for value, and wear them down slowly.  It&#8217;ll take a while, but eventually their chips are going to be dispersed among the other players.</p>
<p>Tight Passive<br />
This guy is a rock.  They&#8217;ll only play while holding rockets and the second they raise, everyone backs off.  Pay attention to this contrast, stay out of their way, and bluff after a while to see if they get shaken up by the lack of fear from you.  A well-timed bet and raise can completely change how they approach the table and they might just fold because you sot up to them.</p>
<p>These are the four basic personality types and with them, you can help identify how you play and what to do with your cards when you meet any of these archetypes at the tables.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That would of course imply that I have bugged computers the world over and am in fact the leader of some James Bond-style international spy ring.  I’m not, just for the record.  Casino games cover a broad spectrum, from the conventional to the um, unconventional.</p>
<p>Casino games encompass a whole gamut of experiences and skills base.  What follows is a taster of some of those games:</p>
<p>•    Pai Gow Poker – like some of the Blackjack derivatives, in this fun poker game you play with two hands, rather than the usual one; the idea being that you bet on whether each of those hands is better than the dealer’s.</p>
<p>•    Roulette – it would be remiss to talk about casino games and not even mention this old crowd favorite.  Watch the bounce of the ball and see if it lands where you want it to.</p>
<p>•    Sic Bo – a Chinese game meaning ‘two dice’ – though confusingly and interestingly it is played with three dice.  Your task in this, one of the trickier casino games is to predict either the aggregate outcome (the total number scored from the three dice) or exactly how you think they will land.</p>
<p>Obviously there are more besides those casino games mentioned above.  With innovation being such a key factor in the industry today, check out what new casino games might be coming to an online casino near you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been a serious blackjack player for years now.  I got started gambling in high school with Friday night poker, and in college I took up casino gambling, blackjack in particular, as a way to help pay for school.  So I have a lot of friends who always ask me, where is the best place to go to have fun and win money casino gambling.  Now, most people assume I’m going to mention a hot new casino in Vegas or somewhere.  The truth is, though, I don’t think that’s the place, and I always answer, go online.</p>
<p>After a few minutes of explaining that I’m not joking about casino gambling online, they start to see the picture.  The truth is, land casinos are a lot of fun, but they also come with baggage.  Money spent on travel, finding the right game tables with the right buy in amount; all sorts of things.  With casino gambling online you can log in from anywhere you want; your house, a friend’s house, all you need is an internet connection.  Also, and this is the surprising part for people new to online casino gambling, the graphics of online casinos are really phenomenal and they offer every casino game you can think of.  Not only that, but you can find a table with a buy in your happy with and the pay outs are great.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, a land casino is still fun to hit up once in awhile, but if you want to make money and have fun without having to waste time and money traveling anywhere, then I can’t recommend casino gambling online enough.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re like me, when first sitting at a live casino blackjack table, you may have been annoyed by the dealers instance to use hand gestures to signal your playing intentions.  The reason for this is that casino use these hand signals to protect themselves for insurance purposes.  Since a player could maliciously or truthfully claim that a dealer misheard his command and dealt him an action that lost him a hand, hand signals work both to make the gamblers intentions clear and allow the casino to capture these intentions by video camera in case the dealer is challenged.  As such, it is important to know the different hand signals before you sit down to play casino blackjack.  Here’s what you need to know:</p>
<p>For a Hit, drag your cards on the table and then tap the table with your index finger.</p>
<p>For a Split, raise two fingers for the dealer to see and then move an identical pile of chips next to your original bet.</p>
<p>For a Stand, put your cards under your chip pile while holding up your hand.  This tells the dealer you are keeping to your total.</p>
<p>For a Double Down, put up one finger and place next to your original chip pile a new chip pile with the same amount.</p>
<p>These are the signals you need to know.  Get to know them and you’ll gamble like a pro, and protect yourself, the next time you sit at a live casino table.</p>
