The coiffed, crass billionaire announced that he’s standing for office and he wants to achieve the American dream.

In this article I’m going to explore the pros and cons and how it will impact internet gambling in the United States-assuming Trump gets elected. I really can’t see this happening but one never knows.

This according to Trump will make America great again. From the above it’s pretty evident that he intends on creating an Utopian society. Most folk see it as extremely presumptuous and discriminatory. As it is many journalists tried to keep a …

As it is internet gambling has a bit of a stigma attached to it because there are many unscrupulous individuals that use it as a means to launder money. Many governments have started regulating it in an effort to curb it and to stop money gained from illegal online gambling to fund possible terrorist organizations.

There are two types of money laundering. The first is made up of complex transnational operations designed to hide the criminal activities of large scale crimes in an effort so that people and property appear legitimate. The other is to conceal, disguise or to dispose of the proceeds. More often than not these crimes help feed gambling addiction. In this article I’m going to venture into the cloak and dagger world and how igaming is used as means by shady individuals to launder money.

In this article I’m going to focus on the return percentages of new video poker games such as One-Eyed Jacks, Jacks or Better and Fives Aces.

What Are The Odds?

Numerous books have been written on video poker and some of them barely scratch the surface. Each game comes with a myriad of paytables and different strategies. To a certain extend it can be a bit confusing at times especially if one takes into account the cashback, promotions and trying to establish which games offers you more bang for your buck.

On electronic games such as slots machines and video poker, the odds are measured by return percentage. The return percentage on most games account for less than 100 percent-this is how the casinos make their money. In some video poker games the return can be more than 100%, in layman’s terms it simply means that a skilled player has …

The return percentages of slot machines is one of the last casino mysteries, so to speak. In all the other casino games the rules are disclosed and it’s quite easy to determine the house edge. In this article I’m going to take a closer look at how the return percentage of a slot machine is calculated and at the same token would also like to credit Michael Shackleford since it’s based on his findings.

Before I continue, let’s just define a slot machine quick. A slot machine is a gambling device that’s an actual or video representations of spinning reels. At times there might be some discrepancy since the slot payback percentages can be jaded especially …

Online gambling in South Africa is still perceived as a social evil. The Democratic Alliance said that it must be regulated in the country since SA punters are still gambling at illegal offshore sites.

DA Calls For Proper Internet Gambling Regulation

Geordin Hill-Lewis, MP (Member of Parliament) for the Democratic Alliance in South Africa said that online gambling is a pastime enjoyed by many South Africans and it’s time that the SA government steps up to the plate and legalize it.

Hill-Lewise said that to a certain extent he understands the government’s reservations and why it has not legalized it yet but it’s impossible to ‘block’ the internet since minors already have access to it. The government fears that it will create an unnecessary breeding ground for underage gambling and problem gamblers. However, if one delves a bit further into the issue it’s pretty obvious why the government is dragging …
