  <b><i>There are several types of poker games from which to choose. These are
      games that can bring you in a lot of money if you are skilled enough. In
      addition, it is a great way to pass the time and make some great new
      friends. This is not just a game, but a group of opportunities where
      players receive or form hands with cards that are dealt to the center of
      the table.</i></b>

<h2>Grouping</h2>
<p>
  There are three basic groups that should be considered. These are
  differentiated by the way that the cards are dealt. Community variants use
  board cards or cards dealt to the middle of the table. These are some of the
  most popular titles and include Omaha, Texas Hold'em, Pineapple, Cincinnati,
  as well as several others. The other two types of games include stud and
  straight variations.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<h2>Texas Hold'em</h2>
<p>
  This title is played with five community cards and three hole cards. The
  players are dealt two cards and then a betting round occurs. The dealer then
  places three more cards in the center of the table and another round of
  betting occurs. The fourth card is placed up on the table and there is another
  round of betting. The final card or river card is placed and then the final
  round of betting occurs. Players are trying to make the best five card hand
  using the five cards on the board as well as the two in each of their hands.
</p>
<h2>Omaha Poker</h2>
<p>
  Omaha is similar to Hold’em. The main difference is that players are dealt
  four cards and they have to use at least two of the cards in their hands and
  three of the community cards to make the best five card hand. The betting
  structure is the same as that used in Hold’em.
</p>
<h2>Stud Poker</h2>
<p>
  Stud games do not use any board cards. Players will all receive the same
  number of cards and will use these cards to make the best five card poker
  hand. Seven card stud is the most popular title of these. Other versions
  include five and even six card stud. The only difference in these is the
  number of cards that each player receives.
</p>
<h2>Live Poker Online</h2>
<p>
  Nowadays, there are many online casinos that host Live Casino Games including
  all types of poker. Check out WestCasino's Live Casino feature and you'll know
  what I'm talking about. We offer a fun way to play, especially if you do not
  live in an area where there is a live room available. Online games are played
  in the exact same way that a live poker game would be played. One of the best
  things about playing online is that there are people from around the world
  that you will be playing against. This means that you can find a ring game or
  tournament at any time of day or night.

<p>Unbelievable tales from the world of gambling.</p>

Believe It or Not

<p>
  <b><i>Known as the “Gambling capital of the world” or “The Monte Carlo of the
      East”, the former Portuguese colony of Macau is China’s only location
      where gambling is legal. Gambling tourism is Macau’s biggest source of
      revenue, making about 50% of its economy. On February 5th, however,
      following the recent coronavirus outbreak, the majestic city has become a
      near-ghost town during what is typically its busiest time of the year.
      Because the local government has drastically limited visits from mainland
      China, arrivals have suffered a significant 69% drop. Coupled with the
      impact of a slowing Chinese economy and anti-government protests in
      neighboring Hong Kong, the virus is worrying Macau officials deeply.
    </i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/9d9acbd3-23ee-4050-b5be-6c6fdf80d4c1.jpg">
</div>
<p>
  The outbreak also coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday during which Macau
  enjoys record visitation. Analysts forecast a decline in gaming revenue of at
  least 30% for as long as health restrictions and strict entry regulations on
  tourists are in place. Casinos say they are losing between US$1.5 million –
  US$2.6 million daily to keep their staff on payroll and maintain contractual
  obligations. Their operators’ share prices have also plunged by as much as 6%
  for MGM China Holdings Ltd., 5.7% for Sands China Ltd, 4.8% for Wynn Macau Ltd
  and 4.7% for Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<p>
  Starting with February 20th, the government allowed casinos to reopen after a
  two-week suspension aimed at controlling the virus outbreak. Nonetheless, the
  gaming regulator has imposed strict rules: temperature checks, mask protection
  and health declarations for staff and guests. To ensure adequate distance
  between people, only half the tables on a casino floor are permitted to
  operate. Clients are not permitted to congregate, according to a government
  notice. Baccarat tables, which normally seat seven people and dozens of
  observers, will only allow four players.
</p>
<p>
  All operators have 30 days to start functioning normally as mandated by the
  government. Analysts and executives predict that despite casinos reopening,
  gaming revenue will drop at least 80% in February and 50% in March. It will
  take weeks to get back to normal even though Macau has only reported 10 cases
  of coronavirus infection and no new cases since February 4th.
</p>
<p>
  Besides casinos, nearly 30 hotels have been shut down. That includes shows,
  non-gaming attractions, and most restaurants. Authorities have stated that
  until further notice entertainment venues including bars will remain closed.
  According to official figures, hotel occupancy has dropped from 90% last year
  ago to 12%.
</p>
<p>
  Even though Macau’s government has pledged US$3.4 billion to support domestic
  consumption, many businesses dependent on tourists and casinos have been
  seriously affected.
</p>
<p>
  The coronavirus has infected more than 70.000 people across China, with close
  to 1.700 deaths reported in the Hubei province alone.

Macau casinos hit hard by China’s coronavirus outbreak

<p>
  <b><i>
      Bright lights, loud noises, fluttering images, and a self-made promise
      that the next spin is going to be a big win. This is the appeal of slot
      machines, a global phenomenon that’s taken the world by storm ever since
      its creation back in the late 19th century.
    </i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/f48eee72-c641-464c-857f-e8d3cbdd2c9e.jpg">
</div>
<h2>The Birth of the Slot Machine</h2>
<p>
  San Francisco, California, 1895. A young Bavarian mechanic by the name of
  Charles August Fey finally settled after emigrating from Europe and traveling
  across the United States for the better part of 10 years. Although slot
  machines had been invented beforehand, Fey designed the first three-reel unit
  with a revolutionary feature – the automatic payout. It had 5 symbols –
  hearts, diamonds, spades, horseshoes, and a liberty bell. It cost a nickel to
  play and the highest payout was awarded for 3 bell symbols, hence the name
  Liberty Bell. It paid 50 cents which was quite the big win for the time. The
  machine became wildly popular and Fey installed and managed his machines in
  saloons throughout San Francisco.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<p>
  Even though California officially banned slot machines in 1902, the
  manufacturing of the Liberty Bell continued. Since awarding cash prizes had
  become illegal, the initial symbols were replaced with fruit symbols and the
  payout would consist of chewing gum and sweets of the corresponding flavor.
  Five years later in Chicago, Herbert Mills produced a slot machine called the
  Operator Bell. This is the time when the BAR symbol was introduced. It was
  based on the logo of the Bell-Fruit company and replaced the chewing gum
  symbol that had been used up to that point.
</p>
<h2>Mid Century Advancements</h2>
<p>
  For half a century slot machines had remained mechanical. By pulling down a
  lever, you’d set the reels in motion. This gave players the feeling that they
  could somehow control the outcome. It’s the reason why the machines were so
  popular and it’s how the term “one-armed bandit” came into existence.
</p>
<p>
  In the ‘60s, Money Honey was invented. It was the first fully
  electromechanical slot machine. Even though the lever was no longer necessary,
  its absence would’ve been entirely too unfamiliar for players at the time. So,
  the lever remained. Money Honey was an instant hit and because of it,
  electromechanical slots came to dominate the market.
</p>
<p>
  The first-ever video slot was developed in 1976 by a Vegas-based company
  called Fortune Coin. Initially, it was only made available in the Las Vegas
  Hilton Hotel. It soon got approval from the Nevada State Gaming Commission and
  it became wildly popular in the Las Vegas Strip.
</p>
<h2>The Online Revolution</h2>
<p>
  Following the invention of the World Wide Web in the ‘90s, slot machines made
  the ultimate transition and became available online. It allowed players to get
  their luck tested in the comfort of their own homes. Often, slot games
  couldn’t be fully enjoyed because of all the commotion of the everyday casino.
  However, online gaming changed that. Now, players can become fully immersed in
  their game without the hustle and bustle of a crowded land-based
  establishment. Furthermore, slot games have become more complex and,
  subsequently, more appealing. The Bonus Rounds that most successful games
  feature are the main contributors to the rise in popularity of online video
  slots. Not to mention the diversity of the games’ themes. Think of any topic
  and there’s a slot game about it. As opposed to common table games such as
  craps, roulette, or blackjack, slots can get creative. Some even follow
  compelling narratives that motivate the player to keep spinning the reels.
</p>
<p>
  Nowadays hundreds of online casinos offer a large variety of video slots.
  Check out www.westcasino.com, for example. Besides having all the table games
  you could want, we’ve also got over 600 highly creative, insanely entertaining

Slots and How They Were Invented – A Brief History of Slots

A Brief History of Slots

<p>
  <b><i>Here at WestCasino, we’ve recently concluded our two weeks long
      Valentine’s Day promotion ingeniously dubbed Wheel of Hearts. Besides
      giving an extremely endearing shout out to romantic love, the spectacular
      event whole-heartedly offered WestCasino players a magnificent myriad of
      amazing bonuses EVERY DAY plus a chance to win the massive Cupid’s Fortune
      prize pool. Continue reading to find out how the heart-warming promotion
      worked, what fabulous prizes we’ve given out, and how many lucky players
      won big at WestCasino!</i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/812b1120-c434-480a-8074-3a34e4b00436.jpg">
</div>
<h2>Giving the Wheel of Hearts a Spin to Win</h2>
<p>
  The main feature of the Wheel of Hearts promotion was the wheel itself. Every
  day, players could spin the wheel and receive a guaranteed prize such as Free
  Spins, generous deposit bonuses on a great selection of games, and the highly
  coveted Free Cash. Each prize came with its own topical Valentine’s Day
  symbol.
</p>
<p>
  After the electrifying click of a button, the Wheel began to spin. What an
  adrenaline rush! You never knew what you were going to get – it was entirely
  up to chance – but players knew that there were treasures to be found wherever
  the Wheel stopped. After the edge-of-your-seat spin, players collected their
  prizes and used whatever sensational bonuses they got towards a much more
  beneficial playtime. The first time I spun the Wheel, I got 25 Free Spins on
  NetEnt’s ghastly Ghost Pirates with NO DEPOSIT required. I had a good run that
  even ended with some winnings.
</p>
<p>
  Prizes aside, the promotion’s page was truly something to behold. Every aspect
  of its design, from Wheel to background, screamed Valentine’s Day but with a
  subtle, almost elegant touch. The combination of pink and purple was easy on
  the eyes and it engulfed the player in a romantic, yet profitable atmosphere.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<h2>The Fruitful Path to Cupid’s Fortune</h2>
<p>
  All players who spun the Wheel of Hearts and deposited 50 were automatically
  eligible to win Cupid’s mind-blowing Fortune. Here’s how it worked – a small
  percentage of each deposit was added to the bewildering prize pool. The
  campaign started on January 29th and as it progressed, the prize pool only got
  bigger and bigger, up to a whopping €140.000! If that’s not a great incentive
  for players, I don’t know what is. Needless to say, all WestCasino players
  dreamt of celebrating 2020’s Valentine’s Day deeply in love and buried in
  cash. However, there would only be ten lucky winners who would share the
  staggering amount between themselves.
</p>
<p>The winner of 1st place received 40% of Cupid’s Fortune - €56,000.</p>
<p>The winner of 2nd place received 30% of Cupid’s Fortune - €42,000.</p>
<p>The winner of 3rd place received 20% of Cupid’s Fortune - €28,000.</p>
<p>
  The winners of 4th to 10th place received an equal share out of the remaining
  10% of Cupid’s Fortune - €14,000, €2,000 each.
</p>
<p>
  The competition was extremely tight since over 11.500 players participated in
  the contest. The lucky winners were selected on February 14th, on Valentine’s
  Day, which is, sadly, also the day that our mega-promotion ended.
</p>
<p>
  Congratulations to all winners! I’d sure like to be in their shoes right now!
</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>
  Wheel of Hearts was an extremely exciting contest that celebrated love as well
  as big winnings. Even though Valentine’s Day is a special enough day already,
  WestCasino sweetened the deal with our massive €140.000 prize pool and our
  delightful daily prizes.
</p>
<p>
  It was an absolute blast to give players the opportunity to spin the Wheel
  every day and to get something out of it as well! I’m sure that every one of
  WestCasino’s players enjoyed it as much as we did and that they will keep
  their eyes peeled for the next profit-packed promotion!

WestCasino’s Wheel of Hearts Promotion Retrospective

Wheel of Hearts Retrospective

<p>
  <b><i>To a newbie, the online casino world might seem a little daunting. The
      flashing lights, the loud noises, the tremendous amounts of money that
      expert players both win and lose – these are just a few simple elements in
      an otherwise vast and complex digital environment. Most online casinos,
      however, try to give newcomers at least a basic understanding of how
      things work. After all, it’s beneficial to them for a player to become
      acquainted with their website since an informed player is liable to take
      more risks and, as a result, deposit more money. As opposed to a novice,
      an expert player sheds his or her timidity and tries to meet that big win
      head-on. To do that, they take advantage of the bonuses that online
      casinos give out.
    </i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/213bab87-990d-46ad-858b-0c667bc76d6a.jpg">
</div>
<h2>How bonuses work</h2>
<p>
  The most important thing that a beginner needs to understand is how bonuses
  work. Online casinos give out bonuses both to attract and keep players. These
  bonuses may include free spins, deposit bonuses, and no-deposit bonuses. But
  there’s a catch! Every bonus comes with wagering requirements. What are
  wagering requirements? Well, they’re casino-designed safeguards against
  gamblers who would just withdraw everything and run away with the funds.
  Needless to say, that would be a tremendous inconvenience for a deposit-based
  business. Think about it. They have to account for paying their staff,
  licensing games, covering office rent, and more.
</p>
<p>
  Most worthwhile casinos start their new players off with a Welcome Bonus.
  That’s usually the best bonus that you’ll be receiving during your playtime.
  As previously stated, it’s an incentive to attract new players. Unlike
  land-based casinos, they can’t offer players free dinners or live
  entertainment. For example, WestCasino’s Welcome Bonus comes in five steps:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    100% bonus up to €250 plus 100 free spins on Book of Dead on your first
    deposit
  </li>
  <li>50% bonus up to €200 plus on your second deposit</li>
  <li>200 free spins on Sahara Nights on your third deposit</li>
  <li>
    70% bonus up to €200 plus 70 free spins on Reactoonz on your fourth deposit
  </li>
  <li>
    Access to WestCasino’s Funtastic Calendar starting with your fifth deposit
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  Let’s take the first step and explain it. If you get a 100% bonus up to €250,
  that means that your first deposit can range from the minimum deposit to a
  maximum €250. So, if you deposit, let’s say, €100, you get a 100% match bonus
  which equals another €100. You’d be playing with €200 from the start. Couple
  this bonus with a ton of free spins and newbies are going to have a profitable
  first gambling session.
</p>
<p>
  For players new to the online gambling world, risking their own money is often
  stressful. That’s why some casinos offer new clients no-deposit bonuses so
  that they can play with zero risks. These bonuses are far smaller but they’re
  a great way to learn how it all works without the risk of losing cash. The
  wagering requirements on these no-deposit bonuses are very high, though. Keep
  that in mind.
</p>
<p>
  A little piece of advice? Before depositing money at any online casino, always
  check out their Terms and Conditions. It’s a tedious job, we know, but you’ll
  be richer for the experience. Remember! An informed player is an efficient
  player. Plus, you lower the risk of being blind-sided with a bonus abuse
  allegation and, as a result, confiscation of funds.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<h2>What is online gaming bonus abuse?</h2>
<p>
  Basically, this term amounts to using one or more schemes to earn a bonus much
  easier. These scammers are a problem for the online gambling industry in
  general. Most players, however, don’t think that they’re doing anything wrong.
  Instead, they might just feel that they’ve found a creative way to win faster.
  That’s the problem with bonus abuse. Many gamblers don’t know that they’re
  being abusers. They simply realize that they can satisfy the wagering
  requirements faster by placing bigger bets. Most casinos have stipulations in
  their Terms and Conditions that prohibits wagers higher than €100 per round
  with an active bonus. Even if that’s not the case, casinos may revoke a bonus
  if they feel that a player bets big just to clear wagering requirements.
</p>
<h2>What you can do to avoid being a bonus abuser</h2>
<p>
  When bonus abusers are caught they have to deal with the consequences. They
  might lose their bonus, get banned, or, even worse, have their entire deposit
  confiscated. You should do whatever is necessary to avoid being labeled a
  bonus abuser. How?
</p>

<p>- Don’t place big bets just to earn bonuses.</p>
<p>- Know a casino’s rules on bonuses. Read the Terms and Conditions.</p>
<p>- Avoid irregular play. This varies from casino to casino.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>
  Bonuses are a great way to have an edge when gambling online. However, you
  should always be informed when trying out a new casino. Read the Terms and
  Conditions, check out wagering requirements and avoid abusing bonuses as much
  as possible. If you’re ever falsely accused of bonus abuse, there are third
  parties out there like AskGamblers.com that you can take your complaint to.
  They will listen to both sides of the story and resolve the dispute
  efficiently and elegantly. Lastly, gambling is about winning big and having
  fun. Make sure to do both!

Top 10 Online Casinos with the Fastest Payouts

<p>
  <b><i>Everybody in the world wants to know the sure-fire way to win at slot
      machines. Sorry to disappoint, but a secret formula or cheat code that
      allows you to win every time and get insanely rich does not exist.
      However, there are other ways to win at slots more often.</i></b>

<h2>The Slot Machine Explained</h2>
<p>
  Mechanical slot machines are all but obsolete. There are still a few remaining
  in Las Vegas and other casinos around the world, but typically, slot machines
  are now electronic. Subsequently, messing with the machines physically will
  get you nowhere. So, while your rage is justified when on a losing streak, the
  machine itself will yield no wins when being brutalized.
</p>
<p>
  Anyway, to spare you some complex technical details, electronic slot machines
  contain algorithms which generate millions of numbers per second. When you hit
  the spin button, one of these numbers is selected, and if it’s associated with
  a payout, you win.
</p>
<p>
  Sounds simple, right? It is. In terms of gameplay, you only push one button
  and wait to see if you win or not. However, knowing this fact, it becomes
  clear why you can’t manipulate slot machines.
</p>
<p>
  It could take a million spins before it pays out or you could win three times
  in a row. It all depends on the algorithm and it’s all based on random number
  generators.
</p>
<p>
  Random number generators control both land-based and online slot machines.
  They are regulated by gaming commissions to make sure they are truly random
  and fair. Understand random number generators and you’ll understand slot
  machines.
</p>
<h2>How to Win at Slot Machines</h2>
<p>
  Every slot machine has an RTP (Return to Player). It’s a percentage which
  tells you how much money the slot returns to players. If a slot machine has an
  RTP of 96%, then it will pay back $96 out of every $100 players put into it.
</p>
<p>
  The RTP is a theoretical number, though. It explains the payback rate over the
  long run. You won’t get back $96 for every $100 you play. It simply means that
  the machine returns this percentage to all who play the slot. This includes
  small wins as well as jackpots.
</p>
<p>
  Slots with bigger jackpots, especially progressive jackpots, have a lower RTP.
  They go as low as 91% compared to a slot like Starburst which has 96%.
</p>
<p>
  Usually, you’re better off playing high RTP slots with smaller jackpots since
  the chances of winning a progressive jackpot are pretty slim.
</p>
<p>
  Your best chance of winning consistently lies with slots games that have great
  features such as Free Spins, Multipliers, and Cascading Reels, not to mention
  a large variety of Bonuses – Wheels, picking games, etc.
</p>
<p>Free Spins</p>
<p>
  Free Spins usually trigger when you hit three or more Scatter symbols on the
  reels. Some games limit you to a few, whilst others advertise the possibility
  of infinite extra spins. When the feature is activated, your current bet
  remains. So, if it’s not triggered after about twenty spins, it’s good to
  raise your bet value in anticipation. It has to trigger eventually.
</p>
<p>Multipliers</p>
<p>
  Multipliers can be part of the base game, or they can be part of bonus
  features. For example, a free spins feature can have a multiplier. One big win
  with a 3x multiplier can be as good as a jackpot.
</p>
<p>Cascading Reels</p>
<p>
  When you win, the symbols disappear, and new ones take their place. That
  happens after every win. Some slot games even mix Cascading Reels with
  Multipliers. The more you win, the better the Multiplier.
</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>
  Even though this is not a fool proof plan, it’s a good method worth trying
  out. Because of the randomness of slot machines, sometimes the numbers simply
  don’t add up. That’s entirely up to chance. It’s the name of the game after
  all.
