The game of Roulette is very popular in casinos worldwide and as a popular game has one of the lowest winning percentages for the player. However it is possible to win at Roulette with proper strategy. In fact, with the advent of online gambling casinos that feature the game of Roulette it is now even possible to WIN money from them. In this article I will describe the ultimate strategy for beating online Roulette games.

To understand how the player has more advantage in an online Roulette game than a Roulette game at a real casino one must understand random number generators. Since there is no actual, physical roulette wheel picking the numbers for an online casinos, these online casinos must create an artificial randomness only possible through a random number generator.

For most argument's sake, random number generators do just what their name implies – they pick seemingly "random" numbers. However, the computer program has very real limitations in that it is not completely random. The computer program, in attempting to be truly random can become predictable. For example, at a real Roulette table at a physical casino, the chance of hitting a RED number is equally as likely as hitting a BLACK number even if the last 20 rolls have been RED numbers. There is no memory in real life randomness, however …

With online casinos and random number generators there is a memory and so in the example above, after 20 RED numbers having hit, there actually would be a greater probability or liklihood of hitting a BLACK number, unlike in a real casino. This is a serious flaw, and in truth casinos do not want people to know this although there is nothing illegal about exploiting this flaw.

Using this flaw and some simple strategy it is possible to quickly and consistently win money from online casinos playing Roulette. There are many different strategies, but the ones I would recommend are playing the colors, playing odd / even or playing 1st, 2nd or 3rd set of 12 numbers.

Let's say you decide to play 1st, 2nd or 3rd set of 12 numbers. Watch the record board (this is the board that shows the history of what numbers were hit as well as the color). You want to pick a set of 12 numbers (1st, 2nd or 3rd set) that have not been hit in the last 7 or 8 rolls. Obviously the longer the set has gone without a hit the better because the liklihood of it being hit increases, but this will depend on your patience and bankroll. With smaller bankrolls, you will have to be more patient at first and go for a sure thing, maybe waiting for 8-10 rolls without a hit on a set to pick that set.

This strategy is the best way I've found to beat the Roulette table (online anyways) and I believe can be used to win players money consistently so long as they have patience and do not play a set too soon. Note, it's also possible to play the colors or odd / even and you would use the same strategy. The only difference is the payout is 2-1 instead of 3-1 that comes with the sets.

One final note, be careful when choosing online casinos as many are fraudulent and run from countries where they are not regulated. Go to ReviewOnlineCasino.blogspot.com [http://reviewonlinecasino.blogspot.com] to check out which sites I've been using. They are a good starting point because they give you free money to start out with.

I wish you the best of luck and always remember gambling is a game and should always be fun:)

If you're like me, you may have played a lot of room escape games online. But did you know that it's also a growing trend in the Apple App Store? What's great about iOs apps, is they can take advantage of the touch, tilt and shake abilities of the devices. Here is a list of some top-quality games you should check out. Many of them are even free.

1. Antrim Escape (1, 2 & 3) By Game Hive Corp.

This is a series of three games, with a possible fourth to come, set in Antrim Castle in Ireland. The first one is the shortest of the three, but definitely worth playing. I found AE2 to be the most challenging of the three, and AE3 the most balanced. These games have High quality retina-optimized graphics and take advantage of the tilt and shake features. When you finish these games, you'll be wishing for more.

2. Ellie – Help me out … please By Ateam

This game offers a Japanese horror twist to the room escape genre. You are communicating with a little girl through a monitor, and you have to help her escape her cell. There are multiple endings, some good and some bad. So it's worth playing this game more than once.

3. RoomBreak: Escape Now !! By Gameday

This is for the hardcore room escape players. There are 5 episodes with 5 rooms each, making a total of 25 rooms to escape. Each one has an exhaust meter. If you're too slow to solve the puzzle, the meter runs out and you have to start the room over. This can be frustrating for most players, but for those who stick with it, it can be a very rewarding experience.

4. Diamond Penthouse Escape 2 By TeraLumina

While not as long or as unique as the other games in the list, Diamond Penthouse Escape 2 is a solid game with logical puzzles and a humorous ending. It's free and definitely worth your time. Also check out the other games by TeraLumina, such as Haunted House Escape.

5. Escape Game: "The Drifting Locked Chamber" By IDAC CO., LTD.

IDAC is responsible for many room escape games in the app store. They vary in quality, but most are full of challenging puzzles that could stump even the best escapers. I think of the Locked Chamber as one of their better games, as all the puzzles felt logical. Like most IDAC games, it is very linear, but not frustratingly so. If you like their games, you should download AppNavi, which offers many more of their games for free.

If you exhaust these, there are usually new ones out all the time. You could even try Bored.com for more room escape apps that last about five minutes each. If you'd like to see more details about these games, or read about others, take a look at my List of Escape Games. I even wrote walkthroughs for most of them.

Electronic games are one of the favorite leisure activities among people of all ages and social classes, thus electronic games deserve our reflection as an important cultural phenomenon. The question now for educational leaders and school administrators is how this technology could be inserted in the classroom.

Whenever we discuss electronic games, as with all new technologies, social issues are raised. People wonder whether they are beneficial or harmful to its users, in particular, parents and many educators discuss the harm that games possibly can bring to the social and cognitive development of children and youth. Therefore, there is surprise when someone suggests that leisure electronic games could be introduced as part of the core-school curriculum. One reason for this is that you will encounter many teachers in schools that use serious games (or educational games) in their pedagogical practice, but that they are skeptical about the educational possibilities of leisure games.

The criticisms, which are repeated since the emergence of computer games in the 50s, are summarized by Nicky Hayes in Psychology: "games are based on violent concepts; children spent a lot of time playing games, and this could bring damage to their physical health ; and games are harmful in terms of children future learning "(p. 223). In other words, many people believe that leisure electronic games promote violent behavior and isolation, and finally they do not have educational value. We believe that these concerns are not justified, especially if we take into account the developments of the games.

Electronic games are a new cultural form, if compared with the TV, pop music or the movies – the other main manifestations of popular culture.

Nowadays, not only the games have evolved as the proper way to play evolved. And this was possible because of the interaction between the new digital technologies and the internet. For instance, players can embrace games on their smartphones and tablets. Besides that, the new video games consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which will be launched towards the end of the current year, bring a new element: the online multiplayer, which seems to be a new trend on video gaming industry. This new element enables the players to play simultaneously online in fictional worlds.

Remember that the game Spacewar!, A game launched in 1961, was the first one to allow multiple users to share the computer simultaneously. The games today embrace more ways of interactivity; this means that players do not need to play only offline alone or with friends: players can interact with other players online. Certainly, games per se do not isolate individuals. Some individuals choose to isolate themselves, while for others the circumstances of life – the politics of leisure on the area where they live and public security concerns – exert a strong influence on their behavior.

Many people still believe that playing games is a habit that produces no significant long-term impact – other than becoming a more skillful gamer. But recent studies show that the playing games can stimulate learning of facts and skills. For example, the European report written in 2008 on the protection of consumers, in particular minors, in respect of the use of video games points out the following skills: strategic thinking, creativity, cooperation, and innovative thinking. Accordingly, electronic games are a positive contribution to learning. Thus we see that the last two concerns listed by Hayes can also be considered superseded.

We can not allow prejudice or concerns that are not based on facts preclude the use of the new technologies in school. Surely games are not the only answer to the problems of learning or other problems that we face nowadays in our schools. But games could help student achievement, since games can motivate to learn the content in a variety of ways, engaging students, for example, in complex tasks that require addressing content in unique ways. The American researcher James Gee is a pioneer in focusing in the principles of learning in video games, or what he calls the "good" video games. In fact, there is already extensive research on games and education which could provide an excellent starting point for discussion.

The link between video games and intelligence has been a persistent theory that a lot of people have been following. Whether it be a Tetris game or a first person shooter, people have always thought there was a connection between intelligence and games. But this insistence may have a simpler explanation. Those same people who kept putting a connection between video games and intelligence might just be the very same people who are playing these games. This puts a damper on the validity of these theories because of course these people draw connections between video games and intelligence because they support video game playing. What's worse is when these same studies are created by the same people who manufacture video games.

In any case, there have been studies on people who play free Tetris games and there may actually be a real connection between intelligence and playing this game. First, a large group of people were all asked to undergo an MRI scan of their brain. Then, this large group was divided into two separate groups. A set of people were studied. One group was made to play Tetris for a set amount of time (for a period of many weeks). Another set was not made to play the game. Then both groups were again scanned by an MRI scanner. The results where very telling. It was first believed that the amount of brain cells that a person had did not change. But it seems that some of the grey matter in the brains of those who were subjected to the Tetris game actually thickened. That means that there really was a sizable increase in those people's mental skills.

Exercising one's mind can be done through several means. But the thing is, puzzle games can be one of the most mentally stimulating games out there. This is because the mind learns to incorporate shapes and objects. This helps build one's spatial intelligence.

There are people out there who claim that perhaps the only thing that playing the Tetris game will do is to increase one's Tetris intelligence. That is, the intelligence that one gains from playing the game. But this is very debatable. Though it is true that this game is not as complex as the newer games in the market, there is still a lot mental stimulation that goes along with playing the game. This is especially stimulates spatial intelligence because reaction time goes faster and faster as the game difficulty progresses.

Many gamblers who frequently play casino games online will at some point stumble upon the game of Baccarat. While most players today seem to prefer playing video slots and other graphically stunning casino games when they are online, Baccarat is one of those classic and traditional card games that has been played for centuries. In fact, this game is believed to have been introduced during the reign of King Charles VIII who was the ruler of France between 1483 and 1498 – and it has been played all over the world ever since. Today, every decent online casino with some self-respect will host at least one or several variants of Baccarat.

Despite its reputation of being a very difficult casino game to master, Baccarat is actually quite easy to get a grip of since there are only three types of bets that can be placed. In short, the object of the game is to finish as close to the number nine as possible in each hand. Players can place bets on whether the player hand or the dealer hand will win. Bets can also be placed on the less frequent outcome of a tie between the player and the dealer ( "the banker"). So again, there are only three types of bets that can be made.

Having said that, Baccarat does have a long history of players looking for trends and patterns throughout the game sessions, and in land based casinos there are always plenty of detailed scorecards and pencils available to track the games – something that many players utilize almost religiously.

One of the most popular and widely used betting strategies in Baccarat is the "Avant Dernier" system. This strategy is immensely popular among players in continental Europe and is indeed a very fun way to play Baccarat – however, this does not in any way imply that it is a long-term winning system.

"Avant dernier" is French and simply means "before last". The proposition of this strategy is to always bet on the second last winning result. For instance, if there is a winning sequence of banker-player-banker-banker, then the next bet will be placed on the banker. In this sequence, the second last win, (the third winning hand in this sequence), was banker. In contrast, if there is a winning sequence of player-banker-player-banker, then the next bet will be placed on the player. As you can see from these examples – and to avoid any confusion – this system does not require the hands to win exactly in turns since the bet will always be placed on the second last result!

The Avant Dernier system can be quite successful in those game sessions where the winning hand fluctuates between the player and the banker. Therefore, many casino players like this strategy since it does not require a large bankroll or the use of progressive betting. As described above, the Avant Dernier system is also a fun way to play the game of Baccarat.

So yes, casino games should be fun and exciting to play – but it is also about winning the money! As with every gambling or betting strategy, it is impossible for the Avant Dernier system to be profitable at all times. This lies in the nature of casino gambling as the house always have a slight advantage against their players. The Avant Dernier strategy will sooner or later find itself in trouble (and face losing streaks) when long winning sequences occur in "double chopping" -pairs like banker-banker-player-player-banker-banker and so forth. The system does however prevent from losing money when very long winning streaks of a single winning hand takes place, like player-player-player-player and so on. This is probably one of the reasons the Avant Dernier system is so popular among casino players.

Yes, it is true – when considering odds only, the safest bet one can place in Baccarat at any given time is to place a bet on the banker. Regardless of winning streaks and patterns, the banker bet will always have the most favorable odds for winning the hand prior to being dealt. But then again, when playing long game sessions with many, many hands – placing banker bets only will not prevent long losing streaks when the other hand starts to win several times in a row.

I guess it is all a matter of taste and your gambling style when playing casino games. Some players will frown upon not following the mathematical odds at all times. Others will accept a slight detour from these odds, as long as this prevents them from losing their entire bankroll when these inevitable long runs occur sooner or later.

The internet has changed the face of Scrabble play – there are lots of online games such as the official Scrabble game by Hasbro, and similar word games such as Wordscraper, Lexulous and Words with Friends. Each of these games offers several options for the game dictionary – which should you use when playing with friends versus playing in a tournament?

The 'Official Scrabble Players Dictionary' was originally compiled in 1978 by members of the US National Scrabble Association for use in sanctioned tournaments. For a word to be included in this dictionary it must be present in one of five standard print dictionaries – Merriam-Webster's Collegiate, Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary of the English Language, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Webster's New World Second College Edition , and The Random House College Dictionary. The current version of this scrabble list is OSPD4.

In the United States, Canada and Thailand tournament play now uses the Tournament Word List (TWL) which is a modified version of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. The dictionary has been edited from the original OSPD version to remove some words which are less suitable for tournament play. The removed words are those that could be considered offensive to players. The current version used in competition is TWL2, and is sometimes referred to as OWL (Official Word List).

Within the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand the dictionary used is 'Official Scrabble Words' (OSW). This is a collection of all the words and combinations playable in tournament Scrabble within those countries and uses British English.

In the rest of the world, the SOWPODS dictionary is used. The SOWPODS dictionary is an amalgamation of the British OSW and National Scrabble Association's OSPD dictionary. It is not published as an actual dictionary with definitions, rather it allows for either of the OSW or OSPD dictionaries to be used as a reference when playing Scrabble.

So, which list should you use? The SOWPODS word list has the most words in it, which would give you the most possibilities to play in a friendly game. If you're practicing for a tournament or playing in a more competitive game, the official word list for your country should be used.

Poker is a popular card game played by anyone of any gender and any age. Players can use real or fake money, they could play in a casino or at a kitchen table. There are many different types of poker game to choose from. When choosing a the type of game you are going to play, figure out one that fits the abilities of all the players so it will be fun and enjoyable for all.

Texas Hold'em is possibly the most popular poker game around. It is about strategy and mental thinking. Every individual playing is dealt two cards and they need to decide if they want to bet money on these cards.

Throughout the game, five community cards are shown that everyone can use. Through strategy, individuals figure out their chances and capabilities of winning. Every poker room in every casino worldwide online and off offers this game.

Omaha Hold'em is another poker game with community cards. It has similarities to Texas Hold'em but with some twists. Players are dealt four cards and must use at least two of those cards, along with three of the community cards, to build a hand.

Until the advent of Hold'em, many poker players played non-flop poker games, like Five and Seven Card Stud. In these games, players create the best five-card hand possible with what they have. No community cards are available. Certain cards of each person playing are exposed on the table for the other players to see. It requires good memorization and keen observation skills, as players look at the exposed cards and try to figure out what hand another poker player is building. Bluffing is not often used as these games are more straightforward and require a bit more skill.

Draw poker games still exist in some private poker circles, but not too many casinos have tables unless requested. In a Draw game, it is about skill in building the best poker hand. Every poker player is dealt five cards. After an initial round of betting, individuals exchange a maximum of four cards for new cards to build their hand. After a second round of betting, the poker players show their hands and the best wins. It is a quick game that is often reserved for more seasoned players because they must be able to read their cards and see what they are able to build, if anything at all.
