S tate Rep. Bob Rita filed HB 3142 on Thursday, which if approved, would bring internet casino gaming to Illinois.

Plenty of famous betting systems exist throughout the gaming world. However, the Martingale is arguably the most famous of these betting systems. You’ve probably heard of it throughout your gambling journey, especially if you’ve been reading about tips and tricks online. The system relies on a simple concept that sees you double bets after losses. This simplicity makes the Martingale very popular at both land-based and online casinos. If you’re going to use this system, though, I highly recommend that you only do so at real money online casinos. I’ll explain the reason why after discussing the basics of the…

The UK features one of the world’s most robust gaming markets. It offers countless land-based and online casinos.

The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Lions. But does the trade for Matthew Stafford leave the Rams any better off? At this time in his career, is Stafford even an upgrade over Goff? Matthew Stafford turned 33 years old the day before I wrote today’s post. And his predecessor, Jared Goff, is a good 6 years younger. This means the Rams obviously believe Stafford is an upgrade. But should you take the bait? If you’re trying to decide whether the Rams make a good futures bet, you need to ask yourself about more than…

For some strange reason, teams who finished with the worst record in football the previous season are often popular futures bets.  Maybe it’s because with a new coach, new system, and hopeful outlook, teams can shock the world? And it’s not as far-fetched as it seems.  In 2018, the San Francisco 49ers finished with the second-worst record in the NFL. After a stellar 2019 campaign, they came within one quarter of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Imagine placing a futures bet on them a year and a half ago.  Now, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock. And sure, you may…

 February 21, 2021 There was a time when Full Tilt Poker was one of the most popular sites in the world.

February 25th will be the official last day for the brand, with players being moved to the PokerStars platform. A representative from PokerStars said…

 February 20, 2021 Last week the Governor of Nevada relaxed the COVID-19 rules, allowing some Las Vegas shows to open up again with the increased capacity limits. One of the benefits of the eased restrictions was the ability of live shows to go from 50 people in the audience to 100. Fantasy and Carrot Top, both at the Luxor, were among the first big name shows to reopen. Murray Sawchuck is a magician who opens for the Fantasy show. He said that he has “…many friends that are waiting to get back on stage, some are on stage again and…

Casino slot machines feature varying payout percentages. For the most part, though, they all fall into a certain range regarding return to player (RTP). Land-based slot machines typically offer between 90% and 95% RTP. Online slots, meanwhile, usually feature between 95% and 97% RTP. But what about gas station slots?

I thoroughly enjoy playing roulette in online and land-based casinos. Due to the lack of strategy, though, this game can get stale. Therefore, I sometimes use betting systems to spice up the action. I’ll even search for new betting strategies when I’m tired of using the same ones. On one occasion when searching for a betting system, I came across claims that a strategy allegedly features a “99.4% success rate.” This 99.4% success rate doesn’t just allude to 99.4% return to player (RTP). No, it claims that you’ll win so much that you earn nearly $2,500 per hour with $5…
