I used to live to read Casinomeister. Then when the ax came down, I kinda forgot about it. But I just looked and it's still there. I always trusted the guy who runs it. I see now there is a Casinomeister.US, for Americans. So you can look at two sites now. He has an accredited list and it's pretty tough to stay on it. He does a good job weeding out the bad ones. I also used to pay attention to SportsbookReview dot com. They're pretty good too.

Ok, I just googled it and read all about it. The government just never gives up, do they. What a racket.

Man, they really screwed things up. I'll never forget that sad afternoon in 2006 when Congress was passing the "Port Security" legislation. What a bunch of crap, tacking on the anti-online gambling clause. I sat there watching C-Span, and my heart just sank. I had hundreds of different icons on my computer desktop. lol That was the beginning of the end

I agree with you that it is not worth the risk. Just not worth the trouble, or risk.

thanks for the links,

Here in Oregon it is a felony to accept payments from online gambling and a misdemeanor to engage in online gambling.

The risk of online gambling is States where it is not legal is very clear.

Thanks for the tip about 5 Dimes. I don't know how I missed that story, I usually try to keep up. In their "bonus" casino they have an ABUNDANCE of different and creative styles of video poker, blackjack, keno, etc.

Regarding Bovada, what I wrote was really old information out of my head so I apologize. I deposited with Bo Dog a loooong time ago and they were using Real Time Gaming software and had full pay Pick'em. What Bovada is using now, I just looked at it, and I don't even know what software it is, whether it is still RTG or not. So again, I apologize for speaking when I wasn't sure about something.

I have a Bovada account that I use to play poker and sports bet. I just checked the video poker games. The Pickem is no longer there. There best game is 9/6 Jacks followed by Bonus Deuces, 99.45%.

[vpFREE] Re: Triple deck??

 

Did you have a slot tech come and check the machine? If it is Class 3 it should say right on the machine that it uses one 52card deck (except joker games) and I would think you would have some recourse. My local casino has almost full pay 10/7 DB which I have played with considerable luck. Unfortunately only at $5. They short the rregular 4oak to 239.

"The only legal online casinos are in three States: Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey. If you are not in one of these States then it is most likely illegal to gamble online."


That statement is not entirely accurate. There are only like 3 states(I think its 3 states) where online gambling is illegal Washington being one of them. Online gambling is not illegal in this country. Its just NJ,DE, and NV that have regulated online gaming on US soil.

Re: [vpFREE] Triple deck??

 

Hello Micky
Always enjoy your postings.

A while back I did ask a slot technician at that tribal casino if the VP was class II or III, and I was told that it was class III, the same as the Oregon Lottery VLT's (that have a return rate of 91%)

On my blog, I have a photo of a class II video poker machine

http://crapspoopshoot.blogspot.com/p/indian-casinos-omg-wtf.html

Note, that a class II VP machine will have a sixth bonus card that the machine picks to ensure that you win what the server says you won despite what you may have held.

All you needed was a little common sense, and make a small effort to know which online casinos were reputable and which were not. I played HUNDREDS of different places and never got screwed once. I do know there were some rogues who were slow-pay or no-play, but there were hundreds of reputable places too. I got jerked around once from one casino that did not have a stellar reputation but even they surprised me with my payout a few months late. A lot of smart players made A LOT of money. And why not? The casinos were GIVING it away.

Although that software is capable of being set to full pay deuces, you probably won't find that now, although not many years ago you could. 5 Dimes has some excellent video poker choices, including some decent progressives. The fly in the ointment is depositing your money. It's a pain in the neck, and often includes some fees.
