The most important thing to remember about bingo is that it is a game of pure chance. If you search the web you will find many places where bingo strategies are discussed in considerable depth and some where you will be able to purchase software that is supposed to be capable of increasing your chances of winning. These are all simply hokum; there is no way of increasing your chances of winning a game.

However that does not means that there is no correct strategy for playing the game. Just as in any game of chance there are good ways to play as well as bad ones. The best advice is play bingo to enjoy the game and have fun, and if you win some money then all the better, however if you are determined to play to win, then the most important strategy you can adopt is proper money management.

One thing is certain; you are not going to win if you spend all of your money before you do. That might sound a little silly, but in reality it is not silly at all. The more games you play the greater the number of games you will win and if you spend all that you can afford to lose too quickly then you will have ruined your chances of winning.

First you should decide the amount of money you would like to spend on bingo over a time period, say a day, a week or a month, and decide on the number of games you would like to play. Thus you can determine the size of your bet. Set that money aside (serious gamblers call it their bankroll) and use it to fund your bingo games. Don't churn your winnings (churning means keep playing through them) but set them aside too. Once you have competed your pre-determined number of games, you can see how much you have (or have not) won.

The only other tip worth having is where to play. There are many great bingo sites to choose from, and you need to find one that is suitable for you, but one that has become extremely popular is meccabingo. It is a great place to start out at online bingo and has some great promotions for new players too.

So you've probably come across this little game known as Texas Hold'Em, most of you probably know the basics of it as well, however just knowing the hand rankings and the betting rules will not be enough to win you those jackpots. One key strategy in playing poker is the bluff, and when done correctly and appropriately, is an extremely powerful tool.

Bluffing never works every hand though, and unless you wish to lose that money quickly it is never advised to be a part of every hand, you need to pick and choose your moments. Although the act of bluffing itself is as simple as it comes, you need to take into consideration many things before you even consider doing it:

• Are you playing on a loose table? If so, bluffing will pretty much never work as there will always be somebody to call you down.

• What are the table limits? Bluffs will work more on tables with larger limits, or no limit. This is because players won't wish to risk their stack on a single hand unless they know they are unbeatable, or, know you're bluffing. On lower limit tables people won't mind calling a small bet to see what the next card holds.

• Who are you trying to bluff? The weaker the player the less likely they are to fold, they may simply call or raise you back as they don't have the ability to lay down a strong hand. Also, does the player have a large stack or is on a good run, either of these things may cause that player to call.

• What is your table image? Your table image is key. If you are perceived to be a loose cannon who plays almost anything then a bluff will pretty much always fail. If however the table believe you are a tight player who only plays the best hands, then you have a chance of succeeding.

Remember all of these and our bluffing will be going in your favour in no time at all.

There is a considerable variation between the percentage payouts of different online slot machines, and between online slot machines and those found at real casinos and gaming clubs. In all cases the minimum payouts are subject to legislation as laid down by the Gaming Act, but in general online slots offer better payouts than real slot machines.

First we will define exactly what we mean when we refer to a percentage payout. This is the statistical average payout of a machine given a very large number of spins. For instance, if a machine claims to have a 98% payout, then on average for every £100 that is bet on it, it returns £98. Note that this is based on a very large number of spins and total bets of many thousands of pounds. Another way of looking at this is that the casino has a house edge on that machine of just 2%.

If you looked at a website such as ME Arcade, which specialises in slots and offers a large variety of alternative slot machine games, from simple 1 line slots right up to quite complicated 20 line slot games, you will find that there is a variation between both the percentage payout of the various games and also the average winnings. You will also find that the slots with higher percentage payouts and higher winnings typically have higher limits; conversely low limits slots tend to have lower percentage payouts.

In most cases you will find that average percentage payouts vary from around 96% through to 98.5%.

Now the temptation is to just play on slot machine games that offer the higher payout percentages but, as we have already pointed out, these also tend to have higher limits than the games that have lower payout percentages. Although you should take account of these figures, proper money management is more important. You should divide up your available bankroll by the number of bets that you would like to make in order to decide the bet size and use this as an additional guide to selecting your best game.
