Which is the most profitable online casino game?

Online casino sites also have a fun mode where players can play and learn to play and before they decide to play for real money online. Playing for cash can produce great feelings as well as huge adrenaline rush and is very exciting. Many online casinos offers their online games in fun mode for nothing and most of the time you will not even have to download their online casino software.
Between all of these games available, online roulette tables have for most of the time one of the biggest jackpots available online, followed by the game of blackjack. In the UK it is possible to find both American and European roulette games, but the roulette progressive just is another version separate from American and European roulette.
There are also other games available in online casino sites that have smaller jackpots, such as video poker games and of course the slot machine. This said some of these games have some very large jackpots; 100x video poker games, 20 and 50 line slot machine games. Indeed these have very large jackpots, but who can tell me which the most profitable online casino game is?
In fact this a very difficult question and the reason is that, it often depends on how long you are playing and the amount of money you have gambled.
These games above such as the roulette games, often dependant on how much you gambled can have very large jackpots as for the 100x Play video poker games, any progressive game could have an infinite jackpot.

History of Slot machines

Slot machines (roller) are 111 years this year! Indeed, Charles August Fey invented in 1898-99 and who filed the patent in 1905 of the first roller machine called the Liberty Bell. August Fey
August Fey was born in the 2nd of February in 1862 in a small village in Bavaria (Germany). It was the 16th child of his family! At the age of 14 he discovered that he was fascinate by mechanics with one of his brothers, Edmund, who worked in a small factory in Munich.
August wanted to escape the German army and his father by following the example of his uncle (Martin Vollman) who immigrated in the 1850s to New Jersey (America). He left home at 15 and immigrated to France. He earned money by doing various jobs that allowed him to move to England the next five years where he worked in a manufacturing company of nautical instrument.
Having enough money, he crossed the Atlantic and landed in New York in the family of his uncle. He didn’t like the weather of this region, then, he decided to go to California.
He arrived during the summer of 1885 in San Francisco where he worked in different mechanics company. Soon, he discovered that he had tuberculosis and the doctors gave him less than a year to live.... This does not prevent him from finding a permanent job in the California Electric Works Company at 25 years old. Fey got married to Mary Volkmar, a native of California, and had 3 daughters and one son. In 1889, he decided to americanise his name to Charles Fey.
Influenced by the abundance of automatics slots in San Francisco, Fey decided to build its first machine in 1894. It was a machine with only one rotating disk: HORSESHOE was very similar to those made by Gustav Shultz (MAS largest manufacturer in the USA).
The same year, Fey and his colleague Theodore Holtz left the California Electric Works Company to create their own factory which would be the competitor of the one they were working for and decided to make telephone, telegraph and electrical equipment. This company will be based in the same area as the factory of Schultz slot machine, and of course, they would make some mechanical parts for machines for Schultz.
In 1895, Fey built in the basement of his house the "4-11-44" based on a popular lottery. This machine had 3 concentric dials and the maximum combination was $ 5. This machine was placed in a bar and became so popular that Fey decided to make more. He decides to spend all his time to create and build machines. In 1896, Fey created his own company on Market Street in San Francisco. He left his first factory to Holtz. For 9 years it will manufacture slots. Fey quickly understood that the slots were limited in mechanical combination and payment. In 1898 he produced the first 3-reel, "The Card Bell” then quickly modified in 1899 by the machine recognized by all as the modern machine "The Liberty Bell”.

Tournament at the pub

As usual, I play poker with a friend beside the Tooting Bec Station in a pub called the “the Bec Bar”. Yesterday I have finished 11th but I did a few mistakes and it cost me a place at the final table.
At the beginning of the tournament, we were 40 players and I know some of them, so it is much easier to play against players you know because you know also how they play but it is the same for them, they know how you play.
Yesterday, I play quite ok but I made some mistakes. I used to raise on people they have just a few chips left. And, it works quite well yesterday. I play with a ace and a king and I saw that a player had just a few chips left so I raised enough to push him to go all in. He had a king too and a 10. On the flop, it was a king – 7 – 5. I am still the winner. The turn is a king and the river is a 8. I have a three of the kind like my opponent but my kicker was much better. The thing is, you have to get the best 5 cards ever to win the pot and it is quite rare to see some players sharing the pot but it can happen.
But, now, I will talk about my mistake. First mistake: after 1 hour of game, I received a pocket aces. I raised, a guy called me. We saw the flop: 5-6- 10. I am the first one who had to talk of course. So I raised 500 chips. He did the same, he raised but 1000 chips. Ok he has a pair of 5 or 6, it is too obvious but I was expecting an ace on the river or the turn. I called (I was much richer than him and I knew he won’t play if he had nothing, but sometimes luck can be with you). The luck wasn’t there. And he won around 3000 chips of mine.
Second mistake: it left 16 players and I am one of them. The blind is quite high now. The minimum is 500 and the big one is 1000. Of course people of playing when they get good cards but when they play, it is all in so you don’t have a lot of possibilities call or fold. I receive a king and a 8 same suit, I knew that is was great cards, I was the big blind: 1200 chips. It left me something about 1600 more after putting the big blind. A guy raised 2000 chips. I was eating some peanuts at the same time and when it was my turn to talk everyone looks at me, and of course, a peanut fell off. Everyone laughed and of course me too, but after that I couldn’t be serious anymore in front of the player so I decided to fold. He got a pocket queen and on the flop: king-6 – 10. I wanted to play but the fact to lose my serious in front other player didn’t give me the courage to do it. Mistake and be humble, your strength!

Tuesday night at the pub as usual

Yesterday, I went to the pub to play poker. With a friend, we used to play poker once a week and we found a nice place in Tooting Bec where we can play poker with nice people. Most of the players are from England, most of them but some of them like me are from different countries such as France, South Africa, and Germany.
The poker tournament starts at 8 pm and if you want to play at the tournament, you have to pay a fee of £5. You start the tournament with 1500 chips, but in this pub, you can get more chips by buying a shooter at the bar. It cost £2.50 and you get 500 chips more. It’s just one per person and the barman knows everyone.
It is already the beginning and, as usual, it is quite difficult to have everyone around the table. You have 4 table of 8 players, sometimes 9 players (too many registration but it means also more money for the winners). To know on which table you are playing, you have to pick up a card and, after that, it depends on the suit you have picked up to determinate your table. The person you picked up the ace is the dealer, this is the rule.
Around my table: I’m the only lady around the table, actually on 40 players, yesterday, it was 5 women not more. The organizer was sitting down just beside me and he is quite good, he used to play online and told us some good and bad hands that he played today.
Three young guys are there and you can quickly guess that most of them are beginner and sometimes is quite easy to get their money. A young guy, a ginger guy raised 400 chips when the big blind was 100 but his friend went all in. He folds so the table just make a noise like “booooooo” for fun. But he was so pissed off that he told us that it was forbidden in poker to do that. Just after that, we told him that it is forbidden too to leave his chips in the felt, he didn’t appreciate at all. These kinds of players are quite funny actually.
After that, you have the expert, he knows exactly how to play but yesterday night, he couldn’t play properly. He told me that it was unlucky. And actually, he lost against me. But the good thing is (or not).
You have also the great guy, he knows the rules and know how to raise but he is also very friendly and don’t care about the tournament, he wants to win but if he doesn’t, it is not so important.
The atmosphere of the tournament was great and I think it is a great way to meet so good poker players and have fun. I finished 11th but the big blind of 1200 killed me and I made some mistake that didn’t help me.

Interview of Patricia Legros, manager of the new hotel of Barrière

After opening the casino, the theatre, bars and restaurants of the leisure complex of Barrière in Lille, it only needed the hotel. How is it going about the works other there?

They are being finished. And, in general, when we open a hotel, there are works until the eve of the opening, always like that, just have a look at the Olympic game.

An opening still planned on the 30th of September?

Yes. The safety commission passes 29. And it does not intend to have a negative opinion. In addition, there are already reservations!

Can you detail the hotel offer?

The hotel will offer 142 rooms including 125 rooms (between 26m ² and 30m ²) and 17 suites and junior suites ranging up to 60m ². The building is completely glazed. There is a natural light everywhere, especially on the junior suites. From the 7th floor (there are 10 levels), the hotel dominates Lille with an outstanding view over the city.

How did ou manage the buiding?

The ground floor houses the reception and the bar's called 777. On the first floor, you will open a restaurant called the large maps Hauts de Lille of fifty seats. The second floor offers a meeting area with 150m ² of plenary hall, six breakout rooms and a foyer area of 400m ². The 3rd to the 9th floor, there are accommodations.

Did you organise a decoration theme to your new hotel?

That's classy, cozy, and contemporary. We used Corian, a material all white that dominates the entire hotel. The rooms are green almond and chocolate or plum and beige. A peculiarity is the dressing that passes through both the bedroom and the bathroom.

The restaurant will be managed by Michel Vico?

Yes, he is the executive chef of the complex (the complex of three restaurants). Hauts de Lille, it overlooks the reception, it seems to be in the bow of a boat.

We are opening the hotel and as the provisional rankings don’t exist anymore, it opens as a 5 star because it is our position. The audit must confirm that but the file is launched.

What are the advantages of a 5 star?

Our hotel has facilities for disabled guests, with a adapted reception. The building is soundproof. The facade is doubled, what we used to call a double skin: 50 cm between the two glass spaces.


Regarding services, there is a 24/24 room service, broadband Internet, flat screen 32 inches, king size beds (1.80 m or 2m), air conditioning, and beyond that, a service that meets with this kind of establishment.

A day at the casino

We are Tuesday and for a lot of people this day, it is just a normal day between Monday and Wednesday for me this day is like a Saturday , it always full of surprise. So let’s go for another day.
It is 8 o’clock in the morning and the casino is opened. This morning, as usual, Christine (she is a regular player) comes and play slot machine. She is nice and plays all of the day at the slot machine, she can win and lose 10 times a day, and she doesn’t care.  After that, everyone arrives form 10 am and it doesn’t stop until 3 o’clock in the morning.
The blackjack table is opened today because yesterday it wasn’t possible. On Sunday night a player was playing blackjack and because he lost a lot of money he threw the table against the wall and broke it. He broke also the arm of one of my dealer, Peter. Today, we are organising a poker tournament, hope it would be better!

I am inspecting the establishment, everything looks ok, very clean everywhere but problems are starting. Sonia my, poker dealer can’t come today, his son is sick. Then, I have to re-organise everything with my team and try to manage the problem properly. Mary, the receptionist will be a cashier today and Kathleen, the cashier will be roulette dealer? She received a formation 2 months ago, just in case and today is the case. The roulette dealer, Daniel, loves poker and he is a really good player. He knows the rules and can do it so, let’s go; Dan tonight the room is yours. Glad to see that all the team is united, it is not like that every time, trust me.
It is lunch time and the restaurant is just opened and my customers always wants something free so you can be sure than a customer will complain about the food today! Perfect, today, it is a taught guy and he is complaining about the meat, not good enough.  He is yelling that he wants to see the director. Lucky you are, I am just there for you.  He told me that the meat is disgusting and he doesn’t to pay for that, I used to have customers like that, so I have a test of his meat and say “the meat is very good maybe if you don’t want it I can pack it and give that to a homeless he will be happy to have it”. The guy is surprised and sits down, present his apologies to me. I offer him a glass of red wine to be served with the rest of the meat.
12.30 a woman won the jackpot, I have to congratulate the lady and ask her to sign some papers for me. The room is full of confetti’s and I have to give a call to the cleaner team. We can’t keep the room like that. 
And that it is just the beginning of my day; the rest of the day can be long. Also, you have to know that the morning is the quietest time of the day!

It is the story of a princess call Felina

It is the story of a princess call Felina who was living in a fantastic casino. Her father was the director and the owner of the establishment. When she was small, she used to waste her time in the gambling game room and look at everyone. She could look at a blackjack player for hour or she could imagine betting on the roulette and winning a lot of money. Her father told her to never play at any game at the casino, it was forbidden. The little girl has just her father, her mom died during the childbirth.
One day, a dad introduced to Felina a new woman and told her that she will be a new mother. Felina didn’t like this idea. An amazing weeding was organised at the casino and a splendid dinner took place at the restaurant of the casino alongside of the sea. But the little girl was sad because since her father got married, he didn’t give her anymore attention. Her father was just interested in his new wife.
Then, one day, an old lady was playing slot machine when suddenly a coin fell off on the floor. The little girl was walking on the direction and picked the coin up and tried to give it back to the old lady. The lady looked at the little girl and said:
“Darling, this coin is magical and it would be a mistake to give me this coin back. Through this coin you can travel to a magical world where you can get everything you want but be careful, if you modify something in your dream about the real life, it would be modify forever, Felina”.
The little girl was surprise to hear that the old lady knew a name. She tried to tell that to her father but when she turned her head again to see the old lady, she wasn’t anymore there.
The little girl was contemplated the little coin for a long time and even if her father didn’t allow her to play at the casino she wanted to know if what the old lady was true or not. She had a look on the most beautiful slot machine of the casino, one with a lot of genius on it and introduced the coin on it. In one second, the slot machine sucked of the little girl to a magical world!
When she woke up, the little girl was still at the casino but a genius was just beside her and he was talking a lot to her. She little girl stopped him and asked him if she was dreaming, the genius said yes and he explained her that she can realise 3 wishes through him and they will be realised.
The little girl, first, wanted to get a lot of lollies. The genius realised it. A swimming pool was here just for her but after eating a few of them she could see her dad. She had a quick look at the genius and tells him that she wants him to be single. Wish realised. The last one was to get a casino for children instead of adult one.

ACF launches its website

The number of online poker sites approved by the Arjel (the French regulation board) to operate in France is now ...23! Among the new kids, ACF Poker, which, as its name suggests, wants to decline on the Internet environment and through the reputation of the most famous Parisian gambling clubs: Aviation Club de France.

The positioning of this newcomer, while the "big" of the sector as Poker Stars, Everest or Winamax launched their rooms since the end of June, is not unattractive to players who have their habits on the virtual felt. "We are not competing against other sites that have substantial financial resources," says Bruno Fitoussi, president and "ambassador" of ACF Poker. The idea is rather to provide a game between the circle gaming and poker lovers on the Internet. The parties available on the site can start with a very low bet, 0.50 or 1 €. This kind of table doesn’t exist in casinos and in circles of games. On ACF Poker, tournaments from such amounts are provided with as a prize pool an seat fees to live tournaments within the ACF. So, it is possible, every week, to try your luck for only 1 € for a monthly premium tournament and get a seat for one of the best tournament ever. "

Speaking of evening "prestige", a word about the party organised last Monday for the launch of the site. A lot of Champagne cocktails with a number of celebrities were at the inauguration. A freeroll tournament brought, for the occasion, a little more than 160 players, including Bruno Solo, Patrick Chene, Dani, Pascal Sellem, Raymond Domenech Estelle Denis, Valerie Damidot Michel Boujenah, Erika Moulet, Philippe Candeloro, Arianne Massenet. .. Good-mood tables and festive mixing fans, bloggers and people accustomed to tournament with celebrities of the ACF.

The ITM as they say, the first 18 of the tournament, could go back home with entrance tickets for tournaments at the club on the Champs-Elysees and they also receive amounts credited to their account on the site of ACF Poker. Your servant, Bruno Fitoussi, is doing pretty well with a 15th place that means a gain of 100 € to play on the site and free registration for the tournament on the 1st of November (buy-in 100 €)! Anecdotally, Pacal Sellem, Dani, Patrick Chêne have also completed the “in the money”.

It was a great time and it is also a new company which want to invade the French market but it become quite difficult to get a place in this market. 23 websites already and some poker site such as poker star and Everest have already invested a lot of money in marketing to attract most of the players. ACF is probably known by the professional players but most of the beginners don’t know it. Anyway, good luck to the ACF to try to get one of the part of this market even if the competition is aver harder now.

Are women weaker than men when they play poker?

That is certainly what Roger Hairston suggests during his visit to Radio Club Poker in Marrakech. Roger has even concluded by explaining that women could never achieve the same level as men. I hope for him, he won’t lose against a woman one day!
The Marseille player explained that as in sport, women were disadvantaged compared to men because of their inferior physical condition. He also wished to congratulate them for their sacrifice for the Poker live/ online poker is the only "sport" where both genders compete. Liz Lieu was in the studio and smiles when she hears that from the mouth of the guy.
Roger Hairston has expanded his theory by explaining that there is the weaker sex and the strong sex and things would always be like that. He also recalled that there is no women present in the ranking of the best French poker players. Roger has launched a stone into the pond with this statement and the reactions were quick to be heard especially by our colleague Claire Renaut who immediately issued a challenge to Terminator to prove him that he is wrong.
It is true that the attacks of Roger on the physical conditions are a little surprising because while Hairston was a judo champion when he was young, things have changed since then? The thing is, women and men play differently but some women are really good. It is important also to know that 1 player on 100 is a woman. An explication could convince our player. For Freud, the point is that people are different and especially woman and man.

It is possible to consider the point of view of the oedipal question, and of course of castration. Just to be sure, this point is related to boy and girl. The two genders first seduce their mother, the boy seduce his mother to take the place of the father and the daughter to be having children. The psychoanalytic explanation determines two important points: the boy will fight for "having" his place with his mother and do anything to deserve it. Be the first place, it is his goal. The girl is in "being", being one who bears children and gives life. She is more detached in the pleasure of having or gain at any cost transposed to the game. In conclusion, the man will fight to win and get the first place, one that will make him a potentially powerful man and recognized man by the family, while the woman remains in this notion of pleasure to be in the game in the fun without greed or domination.

It is probably true that men are more aggressive and more challenger but women are getting it too and the society has changed a lot. Women are not so affective that before and don’t care so much than before, so I think one day, it would be possible to have the same mentally than men and play like them but is it a good news?

How the economic crisis affecting online casino industry

The economic crisis is affecting all sectors, including the healthy one too. The casino industry is not an exception to the rule. The die is not cast yet and it is still possible to go back now.

Recent commerce recovery of casino certifies that the wheel turned, "it never happened in the past" admits Jean-Francois Cot, director manager of Casino of France, an association which brings together 104 institutions on the 197 that the hexagon have. But the situations are complex. The closure of the casino-boat Lydia Port Barcarès last year, would not be closer to the reorganization proceedings of the holding SFC (French Society of casinos), which has other casinos in Port-la- Nouvelle and Gruissan. "The holding company is renegotiating its debt," said Bruno Garcia, Director of Casino Port La Nouvelle. "We have nothing to regret from legal redress, the law obliges us to be financially independent. It was a good season, even if it remains on the same trend as the others. Our customers are loyal customers in addition to addition customers in summer through holiday. We resists rather well for a small structure. The big brother of Gruissan in addition to its 111 slot machine surfs the wave through the poker: it is the table No. 1 of the region for all lovers of Texas Hold'em.

But the slot machines screws up. "The discomfort didn’t begin today," admits Jean-Francois Cot. "It started on the 1st of January 2008, with the ban on smoking in casinos. Our client is a smoker at 60-65%. It was immediately noticed a drop in attendance. When you combine with the fact that casino has to check any ID since 2006, at the entrance, in addition to the economic crisis, it doesn’t give you the opportunity to be healthy at all. But this is not inevitable. The casino of Bagneres-de-Bigorre, which has seen someone won the jackpot of five million Euros in the spring, has seen its business take off immediately after that. Also, the casinos that have invested in the renovation, restoration, comfort, hospitality or entertainment players, are going better that the rest of the casinos. No doubt there are also too many casinos in France and all of them won’t be able to survive.

So, when casino try to attract players by offering big jackpot through a partnership between casino (slot machines are relied between 100 casinos to propose a big jackpot), the future is probably in the poker through the new website of the same casinos. Actually, casinos in France (Independent one) decide to unit to get better and be attractive against giant groups such as Barrière or Tranchant.
