Video Slot Tournaments

Here’s a quick introduction to slot tournaments: You start out with a set amount of coins in your balance. The goal is to get the highest score in your balance by the end of the tournament while playing the featured video slot game of the tournament.

Usually when you play a freeroll, you will start off with a small balance, say $50-100. If you bust out, you can re-buy into the tournament, you will be given something like $200 – $300 in your balance. The paid entry tournaments don’t generally do this.

Most of these slot machine games have bonus rounds and free spins modes. What these signify are the big wins on the slot machines. Generally speaking, any video slot that has bonus rounds and free spins pays out less on paylines overall then those that don’t. Also, any progressive jackpot slot you play will usually not have either bonus rounds or free spins and will still pay out less overall.

The general strategy you should play with is betting little when the paylines are not paying out and wagering higher when the paylines begin to hit again. It’s a lot of luck and some skill, but the ideal thing do to is time your betting right so you get a larger bet on the free spins or bonus round, which pay out (usually about 20 – 40 times your bet) based on the amount that you bet.

London Hippodrome to become a casino

The London Hippodrome, one of the British capital’s most historic live entertainment venues is to become a casino. The first attempts to secure a gaming license were turned down, but one has now been granted and plans for the new casino are steaming ahead.

The Hippodrome building was built in 1900, and resides on the corner of Charing Cross Road and Leicester Square in the City of Westminster, London. It was first used to host water circuses and variety performances, giving its first circus show on 15th January 1900. In 1958, the original interior was demolished and it was converted into the cabaret restaurant ‘Talk of the Town’ which featured many popular artistes of that time, and lasted until 1982 when it was renovated again and reopened as a nightclub/restaurant called ‘The London Hippodrome’ by nightclub tycoon Peter Stringfellow. The current re-development plans for a casino are set to be completed by 2010.

Audrey Lewis, the Westminster City Council’s cabinet member for customers and neighbourhoods was quoted as saying “We support the gaming justices granting of the gaming license to Hippodrome Casino Ltd. We would be happy to see a casino established at the Hippodrome as we feel that a casino will provide visitors to the venue with a more integrated night out, rather than encouraging people to drink heavily on the site, as might happen if it were to become a bar or nightclub. In the past, when the venue was run as a nightclub, there were a series of problems on the premises, which included fights and even a shooting and we feel that the venue will serve people better and be safer as a casino.”

At a recent summit at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino near Hollywood, the Florida Council on compulsive gambling announced that a free treatment program for gambling addicts would soon be set up.

The funding for the treatment has been provided by the Seminole Indian Tribe, in the form of a $300,000 donation. It has not yet been decided where the treatment centres will be located.

The Council does receive state funding for outreach and training programs for doctors, however that funding prohibits going toward treatment, so the donation is surely much appreciated.

Although the vast majority of gamblers have control over their gambling, a small percentage of people do have a serious problem with addiction to gambling, and it is good to see that these people will in the future be helped, even if only in the Florida region for now.
