Like LeBron James coming down the lane Chandler U. of NC couldn't be stopped Monday. He slammed the online blackjack tables for a whopping $34,145. Chandler made enough cash to pay for one Albert Pujols at bat. Considering the slugger signed a 10-year, $254 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that's a lot of dough!
So how did he do it? How did Chandler make Pujols money. To be honest we can't quite be sure, but from our experience the best way to play online blackjack is what many call its basic strategy.
This basic strategy contains an equally simple set tips one should remember:

A "hard" hand is one that either has no aces, or has aces that are forced to count as point, lest the hand bust. A "soft" hand is one with at least one ace, which may still count as one or eleven points.
With a hard 10 or 11, double if you have more points than the dealer, treating a dealer ace as 11 points. Specifically, double with 10 against a 2 to 9, and with 11 against 2 to 10.
If the strategy says to double, but you have three or more cards, or table rules don't allow soft doubling, then hit, except stand with a soft 18.
If the strategy says to surrender (16 vs. 10), but you can't for whatever reason, then hit.
If the strategy says to "not split," then treat the hand has a hard total of 8, 10, or 20, according to the pair in question.

But guess what, there were more Bovada Casino Winners, they included:

The Nevada Gaming Commission issued its first two licenses for online betting, bringing the U.S. state with the most casino revenue a step closer to real wagering on poker from home.

International Game Technology (IGT), based in Reno, Nevada, and Las Vegas-based Bally Technologies Inc. (BYI) received approvals yesterday, according to Michael Lawton, a senior research analyst with the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The approvals pave the way for the U.S. casino industry to expand into online gambling, a market that may reach $13.4 billion in five years, the estimate of researcher H2 Gambling Capital. Nevada last year was the first state to pass a statute authorizing Internet gambling. Two dozen companies have sought licenses, including Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CZR) and MGM Resorts International (MGM), the largest operators of U.S. casinos.

Break Da Bank Again is a very appropriate name for this Microgaming online slot game because it repeatedly offers large payouts. The latest instance was on June 17 at Royal Vegas online casino. A player identified as Daniel H won $94,156 while wagering on Break Da Bank Again. This was the highest win at Royal Vegas online casino in June so far.

The online slot obviously has a banking theme. The symbols include precious stones, ingots of gold, bank notes, gold coins, check and the bank vault where all this is held for safe keeping and which the players have to break into. In fact the bank vault opens during winning combinations. The Break da Bank Again logo is the wild symbol. The winnings are multiplied by x5 or x25 when it appears in the winning combination. The bank vault is the scatter symbol and also activates the free spins. Players can win up to 25 free spins with a multiplier of five times. The free spins can be retriggered. In addition players are awarded a bonus of three times the triggering bet. The most lucrative feature of Break Da Bank Again online slot is the gamble game.

I haven't heard about that. But it sounds interesting 😁

Oh yes, this is a hige problem nowadays.

Las Vegas casinos are building Facebook gambling games to attract new customers, taking advantage of online gaming's popularity to turn a potentially huge profit.

Nevada's big-name casinos are partnering with online gaming companies to increase Strip tourism by hooking young players with virtual versions of blackjack and bingo.

Caesars Entertainment now owns a Facebook slot machine game called Slotomania, while Fertitta Interactive bought CyberArts to create a Facebook version of Ultimate Poker. The Riviera recently partnered with Bingo Blitz and now shares its three million users every month. Bingo Blitz players are generally 18- to 34-years-old, giving the Riviera a chance to attract younger bingo players to its resort.

"Hopefully, there's some crossover between people who play the game at home and vacationers who are planning to come here," said Andy Choy, CEO of the Riviera. "The hope is they will have a positive view of the Riviera from playing the game online."

Lawmakers return to Dover today for the final week of work in the 146th General Assembly with few remaining priorities – though the budget and an online gambling bill top legislative agendas.

Today’s Senate agenda includes House Bill 333, a measure backed by the Markell administration to legalize online casino gaming, expand gambling to venues other than Delaware’s three casinos and authorize the sale of Delaware lottery and scratch-off tickets online. The House passed the bill 29-8 earlier this month.

Senate Majority Leader Patricia Blevins, an Elsmere Democrat, called the gaming bill “the last big item we have.”

June seems to have been a lucky month for players at Golden Palace online casino. At least, the list of big winners at the Golden Palace web site is longer than usual and also more varied. Players from different countries wagering on different Playtech online slot games figure on the list. Golden Palace online casino is licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

The largest win in June till date came on the popular slot game Captain Treasure Pro. A player from South Africa named Melindee D won ZAR 270,456 on June 19. Captain's Treasure Pro is the makeover of an earlier pirate themed slot game. It features 3D graphics, excellent audio effects and some of the best animations. These alone are reason enough for wagering on Captain's Treasure Pro. The free spins feature is extremely exciting. Any of the regular symbols become a second scatter symbol during the free spins and award additional payouts. Captain's Treasure Pro also incorporates the Playtech gamble game.

A player from South Africa reaped huge payouts at Casino Tropez over just two days of online wagering. Playing two popular online slots, the player, who has been named as "Guil" in the Casino Tropez winners list, won over ZAR 4 million on June 21 and June 22. The online slot game Desert Treasure alone fetched ZAR 3.3 million on June 22. Guil won another ZAR 400,000 on Desert Treasure on June 21. The surprising aspect of these wins was that Guil had preferred the original version of Desert Treasure and not Desert Treasure II, which has better graphics and more exciting features. It just goes to show that old is gold for some online casino players. Guil also won ZAR 450,000 combined on Gold Rally on these two days.
