Well to start off with, you don't need to take up the promotions. That way there won't be any wagering requirements to cash out.

If you take up the promotional offers, you will need to wager a minimum amount and it's best to bet small until you've bet the required amount. This will give you the most chance of completing the requirements. The higher you bet the more chance you have of busting out. On the other hand, betting high will also give you more chance of winning a high amount but most of the time you will bust out.

I recommend playing Blackjack if possible or secondly Video Poker if they are allowed to count towards the wagering for the promotions. If the promotional offers don't allow these games, then normally you are better off not taking up the offer and to just play without taking up their bonus offer and the associated requirements.

I play both, non-bonus and bonus, depending on the finances. icon_confused.gif
I used to play J's or better, but switched to Joker Poker, love that 5 of a kind! A little easier to get than a Royal Flush, and pays nicely!

Personally, I don't like the odds of playing blackjack online (I just never did well.... I do better playing that at the landbased casino). I'm more of a video poker player. I tend to play Joker Poker at Inetbet (I just do better on it there), and at microgaming I play deuces wild, at playtech I tend to do better with single hand deuces wild, but the only time I've ever hit natural royals at a playtech, I've been playing 4-line Aces&Faces.

I usually don't take casinos up on the bonus offers.... it just irks me that you have to play through like 20 or 30 times, then sometimes they add a cap to how much you can cash out. I'd rather just deposit my own money so I can cash it all out on the remote chance I hit something good.

I don't mind the major restrictions on a freebie (large playthrough and/or limit to how much you can cash out), I can see the casinos side on that, it is free $$.

Good Luck and hit a jackpot!!

I am about to recommend another group of casinos. I have just joined the affiliate program.

It's www.CherryCasino.com (there are some other related casinos but I like Cherry the best).

I've just found out that Neteller accounts have to be certified to transfer money to them so I have been looking for a quick alternative. So for the prize draw I may need to send the money to the Cherry Casino accounts instead. Click the link above to join up if you don't already have an account. You would be able to withdraw the money I send straight away and they can send it by check, neteller or straight to your bank account.

The main forum thread about this group is here: http://www.faircasinos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36

The software unfortunately used to sometimes lose bets when you were disconnected but this was corrected years ago. The software doesn't need to be downloaded and it has monthly bonus offers. There is the $30 monthly bonus but also many other special offers and tournaments for current players. Although the bonus offers have quite reasonable wagering requirements for nowadays, they always let you withdraw anything above the bonus which means you aren't restricted by the bonus.

I've played at both, although it's been a while. I like their slots! And I'm not usually a slot player.

There is a recent thread about New York Casino at the winneronline forum: http://mb.winneronline.com/showthread.html?t=14750

It is are part of the Intercontinental group of casinos: http://www.intercontinentalcasinos.com (not to be confused with Intercontinental Gaming which is another Playtech group). The other casino in the group is USA Casino.

They used to use Boss Media software. Incidentally, I think the owner was British which was given as a reason a few years ago why they don't allow UK accounts. Maybe they allow them now but I don't know.

I find the live Blackjack games to have better odds. Some casinos have them.

The site also has tips for all other games.

You could also try this free BJ Tutor. Just download it and see if it helps. I'm not sure how good it is. I've never tried it.

Welcome to the Blackjack Tutor home page..

Play Blackjack like a seasoned pro within just a few days of practice with our free Blackjack Tutor.
Blackjack is one of the most popular gambling card games. It is fast paced and easy to learn. Playing with perfect strategy however is not so simple for the new player. While the casinos will give you free games to play for fun, they will not provide strategy lessons because it reduces their advantage to a very small margin. There are many online pages with strategy charts, but they are difficult to remember and use with any consistency. But when the strategy system is presented in the context of the play at hand, it becomes clear and easy to grasp with little effort . Blackjack Tutor gives you the correct play along with a short line for exceptions to the current rule depending on the dealer's up card. All this while enjoying the game and playing rather than studying charts. And its all FREE. When you are ready to step into the exciting world of online gaming, choose one of our featured casinos. They have been in the online gaming business for years with thousands of satisfied returning customers.

The same person who wrote the blackjack tutor also has a free one for Video Poker :

http://www.users.qwest.net/~maareyes/vptutorzip.exe

This is the web page I found it on and there are also tutors for texas holdem and other games: http://www.anzwers.org/free/videopoker/

I have a VP tutor called 'winpoker' which I bought for about $30 once but the free one above might be fine.

This is a screenshot of one of my few straight flushes. It happened within the first few hands on Sun Vegas, a Microgaming Casino.
