which should be exercised if the player had not intended to download the software. The second option is Save. This option saves the installer on the player’s desk top and the installer then has to be clicked to initiate the installation process. The third and recommended option is Run. This directly runs the installation process from the web. Step #2 By clicking the Run button the process is initiated. The pop up box displays the progress indicating how much has been completed and also the estimated time remaining for the process. Step #3 Once Step #2 is complete a security warning is displayed on the screen. The warning gives the name of the file and the name of the Publisher. The player is asked if he is sure that he wants to run the software. In case the player has any reservations he can abort the process by clicking on the Don’t Run button. Vegas Technology is a reputed online gaming software provider and the player should have no hesitation in continuing with the process. Hence he should click the Run button. Step #4 This creates the Install Shield Wizard. The player is again given the option of canceling the download process. However he can proceed to the next step by clicking the Next button and in the next stage he should click the Install button. Once the installation is complete the software informs the player accordingly and prompts him to click on the Finish button in order to exit the Install Shield Wizard. Step #5 Clicking the Finish button in Step #4 should directly load the online casino. In case this fails to happen then players can click on the casino icon that was installed on the desktop in Step #4 in order to load the casino software. The loading of the casino can take a few minutes depending on the speed of the player’s Internet connection. Step #6 Once the casino has been loaded the player is asked to select whether he wants to play for fun or play for real money. The registration and account opening process depends on the choice made by the player. In both cases the player has to confirm acceptance of the casino terms and conditions. The player also has to confirm that he is over 21 years of age. Vegas Technology recommends the following minimum system requirements. The operating system should be Windows of at least version 98. The processor should be Pentium with at least 128 MB RAM. The screen resolution should be at least 800 x 600 pixels with minimum 256 colors. Articles from Casino Advisor
Understanding Online Casino Dice Games
Dice games are games of chance. The lure of dice games begins much before pl
ayers are even aware of gambling. Games like Monopoly and Cluedo have pumped up generations of children. Therefore it is natural for players to have an affinity for online casino dice games. Online casinos offer two dice games. One is craps and the other is sic bo. Craps is the better known of the two games. Not only is it a standard fixture in land based casinos
but has been popularized in movies and on television. On the other hand sic bo is a game of Asian origin and therefore considered to be part of an alien culture. This makes craps the first choice online dice game for many new players. However new players soon realize that sic bo is a simpler game to understand. In sic bo players bet on either the combination of numbers appearing on the faces of the dice or the dice totals. What is more important is that each bet is settled in a single roll. At the end of every roll players have either won or lost their wager. Bets are not carried forward. On the other hand in craps the more commonly placed wagers are carried forward and settled over a number of rolls. Players have to come to terms with concepts like come out rolls
points
right bettors
wrong bettors
buying bets and laying bets. Therefore though sic bo is an alien game it is much simpler to figure out. However
new players must understand that it is neither the familiarity nor the simplicity that should be the factors that dictate where they should wager. If they go by these factors they are bound to lose money and lose quite heavily. The only criterion for wagering is the long term return that the bets provide. Bets that have high house edges provide lower long term returns and bets that have low house edges provide higher long term returns. Therefore new players must look at the house edges of the various bets offered in craps and sic bo. There are two benchmarks that players can use as house edges. One is the house edges offered by blackjack and video poker games
which is around 0.5%. This is assuming best play
something that new players may not be capable of delivering. The second benchmark is the house edge offered by online slots games
which is about 5%. This does not require any strategy and is achievable by all players alike. Hence new players looking at online dice games should touch only those bets that offer a house edge of less than 5%. Unfortunately sic bo has only two such wagers. These are the Small and Big bets. The Small bet wins on totals of 4 to 10
except for triples. The Big bet wins on totals of 11 to 17
except for triples. Both bets pay even money and have a house edge of 2.78%. Hence players who are attracted to sic bo for whatever reason should stick only to these two wagers. Players who are looking at single roll wagers in craps have even less choice. The only bet that they can look at is the Field bet. This bet wins if the next number rolled is 2

11 or 12. This bet has a house edge of 2.7% but only under certain payout conditions. These are that one of 2 or 12 pays out at 2 to 1 and the other at 3 to 1. There are many multiple roll bets in craps that have house edges of less than 5%
but then new players have to be prepared to make an effort to understand the intricacies involved. Articles from Casino Advisor
Neighbors of Zero Bet in Casino Roulette
Usually the bets in roulette are extremely simple. The chip is placed on a set of numbers and depending on the number of numbers in the set the payout table determines the amount won. However French roulette introduced a number of unusual bets called ‘call bets’ that are more complicated in nature. These bets involve a number of chips being wagered simultaneously at different places on the roulette layout. Some of these chips may cover single numbers
some may cover two numbers and some may cover even more numbers. Sometimes one chip is placed on a set of numbers and sometimes more than one chip is placed on a set of numbers. Therefore it is not immediately apparent as to what the payout will be. In fact the payout
varies with the actual number called in the spin. Many new players who place wagers on call bets rarely bother about understanding them because the software does all the calculations. However prudent roulette players should be aware of the details. This article covers one of the most common call bets
the neighbors of zero. The neighbors of zero bet does not follow the layout on the roulette table but follows a continuous sequence of numbers on the roulette wheel of which zero is at the center. The full sequence consisting of 17 numbers is 22
18
29

2 and 25. However the bets have to be placed on the layout. Therefore this sequence is broken into splits (2 numbers)
trios (three numbers) and corners (4 numbers) and nine chips of equal denomination are wagered. Two chips are placed on the 0
2
3 trio; one each on the 4
7 split
the 12
15 split
the 18
21 split
the 19
22 split and the 32
35 split and two chips on the 25

29 corner. If each chip is $1
then the question that needs to be answered is what will the neighbors of zero bet of $9 payout? Splits payout 17 to 1
trios payout 11 to 1 and corners payout 8 to 1. Hence the payouts for all possibilities can be listed.
If any of the 20 numbers not in the given sequence are called then the payout is zero and the player loses $9. If any of 0
2 or 3 are called the player receives a payout of 11 to 1. Since his wager on the trio was $2
he will receive $22 and be returned his original wager of $2. He will lose the remaining $7 of his original wager. Hence his net win will be $15. If any of 25
26
28 or 29 are called the player receives a payout of 8 to 1. Since his wager on the corner was $2
he will receive $16 and be returned his original wager of $2. He will lose the remaining $7 of his original wager. Hence his net win will be $9. If any of the numbers from the five splits are called the player receives a payout of 17 to 1. Since his wager on each split was $1
he will receive $17 and be returned his original wager of $1 for that split and lose the remaining $8 of his original wager. Hence his net win will be $9. Complicated as the neighbors of zero bet may seem
it has the same house edge as any other bet in this version of roulette. Therefore this bet is neither more favorable nor less favorable than any other bet
it is only different. The above explanations are based on a European wheel that has only a ’0′. Articles from Casino Advisor
Microgaming Online Casino Tournament Interface
Online tournaments are a popular activity at Internet casinos. All online gaming software providers build in tournament structures into their software. However
online tournaments are inherently different from normal wagering at Internet casinos. The major factor in online tournaments is that the players performance is judged relative to the performances of other players. In normal wagering other players do not come into the equation at all. In normal wagering the player chooses his own bankroll
small or large
whereas in online tournaments the starting stack is fixed according to the rules of the tournament. Rebuy tournaments allow players to replenish their chip stacks for a fee. In normal wagering the player can wager for how long he wants whereas online tournaments usually stipulate a time frame for each player. These differences necessitate that different parameters are tracked by players in online tournaments and they require different information so as to be able to make the best decisions. Microgaming understands this very well and therefore provides a slightly different screen for their games during tournament play. The basic game functions as usual
only the additional information required is provided in a clear and concise manner. This article explains the more important of the features that are tracked during tournaments and that appear in the Microgaming tournament interface. This interface appears in three columns on the left-hand side of the
bottom toolbar. Win Box: The Win Box appears in the left-most column just below the alias of the player. The amount of coins that are won in the tournament by the player
which decide his position in the leader board is displayed here. Coins: This is displayed just below the Win Box. The amount displayed here represents the chip balance available with the player for wagering. Once this is used the player will need to rebuy. Play Time: The Play Time is displayed in the middle column just above the game statistics and options buttons. In online tournament each player is given a fixed time to wager. The Play Time indicates the amount of time left for the player to complete his participation in the online tournament. Once the play time reaches zero the tournament session will automatically close. The right-most column shows three tabs each of which provides relevant information of the players position vis--vis other players. My Place: My Place displays the players rank on the leader board with the players immediately above and below him. It also displays the amount won by him. Top 5: Top 5 displays the rank
names and balances of the top five players in the tournament and gives the player and idea of how many more chips he needs to accumulate in order to figure in the top five. Show in Window: The Show in Window link takes the player to the complete leader board in a different window. Since the number of players in an online tournament can run into several hundreds or even thousands the complete leader board is split into a number of pages that can be navigated using the arrows. The information displayed includes the players position
alias
coins and win box. Where am I?: In case the player wants to locate his entry on the full leader board described above he can have to scroll through a large number of pages. In order to save him time Microgaming has incorporated a “Where am I?” link on the first page itself that will take the player directly to his entry. Articles from Casino Advisor
