			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone loves to have a gamble from time to time (myself included). Unfortunately we don’t always win, but the real fun is in the playing, not the winning. Here is a list of the top 10 Casino games.</p>
<p>10. Bingo</p>
<p>Bingo Set</p>
<p>Bingo is a game in which players try to match randomly selected numbers to the numbers on their card. The card consists of a 5×5 matrix where each column is represented by the letters B-I-N-G-O. The middle square is typically a free square. The first person to form a specific pattern (usually a straight line) calls out “Bingo!”. The card gets checked for accuracy and the winner is announced. Then a new round begins.</p>
<p>9. Baccarat</p>
<p>Baccarat</p>
<p>In Baccarat each player has three options: Player, Tie, and Banker. When all players have placed their bets, the dealer deals out two 2-card hands, one is the banker hand while the other is the player hand. The hands are added up. If a hand totals over ten, the ten is dropped (I.E. 9+5=14=4). A hand equaled to 10 becomes a 0 or baccarat. The winning hand would be the higher of the 2 and anyone who placed a corresponding bet wins.</p>
<p>8. Wheel of Fortune (The Big Six)</p>
<p>Wheel-Big Six</p>
<p>This game is played by placing your bet on one of 6 symbols on the game table. Then the wheel is spun. The wheel is divided into 52 equal sections that are separated by pins around the edge. When the wheel comes to a stop, the pointer will be between two pins. All bets placed on the symbol the wheel stops on, win.</p>
<p>7. Keno</p>
<p>Keno</p>
<p>Keno is a lottery game. The player get a card numbered 1 to 80. The player then picks up to 20 numbers and a wager. The card is then registered and the game begins. The caller announces 20 randomly drawn numbers. The player tries to match as many called numbers to their selected numbers. The more numbers matched the higher the winnings paid against their wager.</p>
<p>6. Pai Gow Poker</p>
<p>Paigow</p>
<p>Pai Gow Poker is played against the house instead of the other players. The dealer deals out 7 cards to each player and himself in rotation. Everyone then looks at their cards and tries to make the best 5-card and 2-card poker hands. The 5-card hand must rank higher than the 2-card hand. The hands are then compared against the dealers. If both hands beat the dealer, the player wins. If both lose, the player loses. If both the dealer and the player win on a hand, it is a push.</p>
<p>5. Roulette</p>
<p>Roulette</p>
<p>In roulette, the player places his chips on the table where they would like to wager. The table consists of number 0-36 and 00 and then has additional betting for even-odd, red-black, low 18-high 18, low/middle/high 12, and for the first/second/third columns. A player may also place their bet between 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbers and may cross bet between the additional betting area. The dealer will signal no more bets. The dealer will spin the wheel in a clockwise direction then roll a ball in a counter-clockwise direction. The ball lands in a numbered slot on the wheel. All bets that correspond with the number win.</p>
<p>4. Slots</p>
<p>Slots</p>
<p>Slots are machines that play a number of different games. They are very popular. In general the player will insert coins into the machine and either pull a handle or press a button. This causes the wheels to spin. In older styled slot machines there were 3 wheels. In the newer machines they tend to have 3 to 5 simulated wheels. When the wheels stop, the player is paid based on the pattern of symbols.</p>
<p>3. Black Jack (21)</p>
<p>Blackjack</p>
<p>Blackjack is a card game played between the house and the player. The dealer deals out two cards to each player and their self. The dealer has one card face up and one down. The players then take turns trying to get as close to 21 without going over. Aces are equal to 1 or 11. Face cards are 10 and number cards are face value. The player calls hit to get a card, and stand to end their turn. A player may also call double to double their bet and may only receive one card and the turn ends. If a player has two identically numbered cards, they may split. This requires them to double their bet and then get two more cards making two new hands that they may play. After all players turns are over, the dealer reveals their card. The dealer then hits if the total is 16 or less and stands on 17 and higher. Everyone who has a hand that beats the dealer without going over 21 wins.</p>
<p>2. Craps</p>
<p>Craps</p>
<p>Craps is a high energy dice game based on 7. The player places bets around the table. There are many places to bet. The Pass line is the main focus of the game. 7 and 11 win on this line while 2, 3 and 12 lose. All other numbers rolled make an established point. If that number is rolled again before a 7 is rolled, the bet wins. The Don’t Pass line is just the opposite, 2 and 3 win where 7 and 11 loses. The Field line wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. 2 and 12 pay double. The Come line is playable after a point is established. It plays the same as the Pass line. The Don’t Come plays like Don’t Pass after the point is established. Then you also can make bets on the horn. These bets are on getting 2, 3, 11, or 12 on the next roll. Other bets include Big 6/8, C&amp;E, Any Seven, and Craps.</p>
<p>1. Poker</p>
<p>Poker</p>
<p>Poker is a card game base on a 5 card hand. The ranking of hands from lowest to highest are high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush. The player with the best hand wins. There are many versions of poker such as 5-card draw, 5-card stud, Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hold’em, Razz, Pineapple, and 7-card stud.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PLO has obviously emerged as the game of the big boys in recent years. All the high-profile online poker players with money to burn play PLO these days, and there’s a good reason why they do so. It’s not just that these guys seek to do something new, something different from the masses (although that may be part of the deal too), it’s much more likely that they choose PLO over NLH because they believe they can play most opponents with an edge in PLO. Tom Dwan for one certainly thinks so. He said numerous times (he said it when he issued his famous – and by now infamous – million dollar challenge too) that he felt he had an edge over everyone else at the PLO tables. Obviously, most people playing $500/$1,000 PLO think so too. There was no better illustration of the fact that some players are indeed right to think they’re better than others at PLO than Isildur1’s ill-fated 2009 nosebleed stakes run. The mystery Swede took the online poker elite by surprise (Dwan himself never managed to rebound from the initial punch he took from the Swede), but as soon as they got to study his style of play, they relieved him of all his wins sending him right back into obscurity.</p>
<p>Why such a lengthy rant on Omaha’s newfound popularity? Because the above paragraph answers the question that should be first on the minds of all those thinking about taking up Omaha: <strong>Why play Omaha? </strong>The reason you should play Omaha is that if you pay a little bit of attention and get a few things right as far as strategy is concerned, you’ll probably be better at it than close to 90% of those playing it. Of course, I’m not taking about the nosebleed stakes here. There’s much stauncher opposition on that level.</p>
<p>First thing’s first when it comes to PLO: in order to be able to read the board properly, you need to remember the most basic rule: you can only use exactly two cards from your pocket hand and exactly 3 off the board to make your 5–card showdown hand. I know you’ll tell me that’s obvious, but as obvious as it is, that is where most beginners slip up. Sure, it’s nice to contemplate all the additional possibilities that the four instead of two pocket cards open up, but please, stay focused and only consider 2 cards from your pocket whenever the flop lands and you assess your hand.</p>
<p><strong>Take a step back and re-assess the importance of starting hand selection</strong>. Also known as the game of the nuts, Omaha is highly dependent on the cards you pick up in the beginning. In Holdem, the differences between starting hands are immense. Pocket rockets are huge favorites over pocket Ks. In Omaha, the best starting hand (A,A,K,K double suited) is only a marginal winner over the second best hand (A,A,10,J – also double suited), because of all the redraw possibilities. In Omaha, the edges you’re working with are much smaller, therefore you will simply not be able to afford to play any lousy starting hands. Conversely, if you stick to proper starting hand selection, you’ll have a huge edge over someone who doesn’t.</p>
<p>Take full advantages of the edges you have on the flop. In Omaha, securing an overwhelming advantage on the flop is rare, whenever you feel you’re there, take full advantage of it and value-bet the lights out.</p>
<p>The single best Omaha advice for beginners: only play extremely strong starting hands, and sign up for a rakeback deal at<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.rakemeback.com/">Rakemeback.com</a> for crying out loud. Given that your Omaha edges will be much smaller than your Holdem ones, you’ll need that rakeback deal badly. If you feel you’re up to it, go for a <a href="http://www.pokerprops.com/">poker prop</a> deal. Many poker rooms have player shortages on their Omaha tables and they’ll be more than glad to accept your application.</p>
