Strictly Slots magazine published its fourth annual "The Best of Slots" survey. The winning games, in multiple categories, were chosen by slot players - not, as the magazine noted, by a panel of judges or gaming executives.
This is the list of the most popular games (in order of popularity) for each of the categories included in the survey intrestingly Getminted fetures many of these slots or variations of them:
The Sunday Times reproted this weekend on the man much in the press during the week - Graham Calvert.
Graham is going after William Hill, the bookmakers, for £2m. His premise they allowed him to continue gambling when he was (a) heavily in debt and (b) absolutely useless at it.
Calvert claims he tried to have himself self excuded using William Hill's "do not accept money from me again" button. However, he then opened another betting account with the bookmakers and proceeded to place many more unsuccessful bets via this betting account one in particular for £300K + on the Ryder Cup believeing the US team woudl clean up.
Graham, blames not himself but William Hill for his current position of destitution - as the Times points out: "rather in the manner of those grotesquely fat American women who sue McDonald's for continuing to allow them to stuff their fat faces with Big Macs and super-size fries, despite the fact that they arrive, waddling, at the counter - with their poor hearts, encased in blubber, begging for mercy."
Calvert will possibly lose the case it will represent his final roll of the dice for him with the odds stacked against him.

Craps is one of the best games around as regards house edge in other words the player has a very good chance of beating the house with this gamne the big problem with it is no one in the UK seems to know how to play the game so it often gets missed or skipped over by players.
Craps is a game based around the rolling of 2 dice on a large table it frwequently features in Casino films as it is a great dramatic way to show off the excitment of gambling in a live casino environment. Typically a hot girl will be shown to throw dice, kiss the dice and generally look good whilst the chaps put all their money down on the different bets.
The object of the game of craps is to basically bet whether or not the person throwing the dice will either pass or not pass during any given roll.
The dice roller starts by shooting the first dice roll, known as the "come-out phase," whereby he/she wins by rolling either a 7 or 11. Rolling "craps," or a 2, 3, or 12 automatically causes a player to lose at the table. Should any other number be rolled, the shooter has known made what is called the "point," thus entering the game into the "point phase" of the craps game.
In order for the dice roller to win now, he or she must roll that same "point" number a 7 is rolled. Those surrounding the table bet on whether the shooter will make a pass and roll something other than a 7 or if her or she will NOT make a pass and hit 7 before the "point" is made. If the pass is not made, the shooter "sevens-out" and must move on and allow another shooter to roll.
As you can see the rules are relatively complicated so the best bet is to play some games for free messing around with the different bets to see if you can work it out whilst playing the actal game.
