Slots are fun, engaging, and quite exciting if you’re on a lucky roll; but every once in a while everyone feels like trying something new. Even if you prefer a game that is luck based as opposed to skill based (i.e. poker), there are other games out there that you can try- usually for free if you aren’t sure you want to risk money on it at first. In the case of playing in ‘free’ mode, it really doesn’t matter which game you choose. You can feel free to try them all! However, in real-money mode, it’s worth noting that when you accept a bonus there are usually game restrictions on what you can play. Most casinos do not count traditional stud pokers, blackjack, or craps towards your wagering requirements. So what are some non-slot casino games that usually DO count towards these requirements?

The first is the most obvious: scratch cards. Scratch cards are the most like slots in that you have no control over what you’re going to get. They also come in interesting designs, themes, and attached to various jackpots or other prizes. A few of the most popular ones feature celebrity icons like Elvis, t.v. shows, and famous films. Others are themed around the holidays and have special prizes that correlate to that specific time of year. The thing about scratch cards is that the fun is pretty instantaneous, and you can eat up a bankroll on them pretty quickly.

Another game that usually counts toward wagering requirements is Keno. My advice is to stay away from this one. It can be fun but it has some of the worst odds in the industry. The house edge can range from anywhere between 25%-45%! Also, there are a few animated and interesting keno games out there, but by and large few people play them for long. This is because you lose so quickly on them. Since few people play it, game developers haven’t really had much incentive to come up with exciting new versions. Chances are, you’ll get bored pretty quickly.

A final one that is usually offered as a means of reaching a wagering requirement is Pai Gow poker. Don’t let the name fool you. You really don’t have to know much of anything about poker for this one. It relies far more heavily on luck. In pai gow, you are dealt 7 cards. You must then try to make the best 5 card hand and best 2 card hand out of these 7 cards. You do not get to discard any of them, nor will you be dealt any new cards. What you see is what you get. If you’ve got a pair, put them together. Get a bunch of the same suit- put them together. Have nothing at all? Put the highest card you can in each hand. One of the only real rules is that the 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand.

A player (or dealer) only wins if BOTH hands are better than the other person’s. This means that a great majority of the time, the result is a ‘push’. This means you had 1 hand that was better and the dealer had 1 hand that was better. Since you tied, no one wins. This means that even though the game is based largely on luck concerning the hand you are dealt, it also has very good odds- much better than scratch cards or keno. This makes it a great way to grind through a WR without risking your entire bankroll.

All in all, there are lots of fun games out there. If slots are starting to bore you or if you think you might be ready to try something new, give pai gow poker a try. It’s very absorbing once you get the hang of it.

Finding a reputable casino to play in as a U.S. player can be trying (though hopefully your options will increase by the end of the year) but what’s even more trying is finding a fun, safe casino online as a U.S. player with a Mac. Very few casino game developers have gotten around to designing platforms that are compatible with Macs. Of these, only one that I know of accepts U.S. players, but it only offers poker and we here at OnlineCasinoSlots.ca have not been able to fully verify the security or business practices of the casinos involved. So how does a player with an apple device go about finding an online casino?

Well, if you type “online casinos for Mac” into your average search engine, you’re sure to get dozens of responses. Most of these will not explain what the differences between Mac and Windows versions are. Over at http://best-onlinecasinogambling.com/search/ one blogger describes the plight of searching for casinos that offer a selection of games for Mac, and being disappointed. What it really comes down to is the difference between the games offered via flash or java through your browser, and the variety of games offered if you can download and install the casino on your hard drive. Believe it or not, as a Mac player you do have two options.

The first option is the easiest and most popular: sticking to the flash-based instant games. Let’s just state right now that there are usually FAR more games available in the download version. It’s also true that the majority of safe online casinos for U.S. players are powered by Real Time Gaming software and RTG is notorious for offering only a sampling of their portfolio as flash-based games. This is what most Mac users are left with, unless of course, they have an additional pc computer they can use for the online casino. Even a mini will suffice for this, as they are being offered with more internal space than ever and as programs go, online casinos take up a limited amount of HD space.

The second option, and the one you might not have thought of, is to install what’s known as a pc emulator on your Mac. With an emulator you can run windows and windows-based programs. Your Mac will, in emulator mode, function pretty much just like a regular pc. The problem with this option is that the emulator plus Windows program can be pretty hefty, so you’ll need a decent processor to run them at the same time you’re playing in the casino. The good news is, you’ll find an entire other world of games available to you if you can do this. Moreover, many casinos require that you download and install the software in order to play ‘live’ games, multiplayer games, and to compete in tournaments. They do not mean to be limiting, it’s just how the platforms for powering these sites are currently set to operate.

Whether or not you can afford a copy of Windows and want to invest the time and HD space to running an emulator depends entirely on the user. However, it completely changes the feel of gambling online- so if this is an option you hadn’t considered before now, you might want to look into it.

Before you begin playing in an online casino, it’s important to know what the odds are. That is, what are the chances of you actually winning? There are a couple of ways to understand your odds. You can look at statistical data; mathematical formulas that arrive at conclusions like, “your odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 176 million” which is a little incomprehensible. You could then look to more informal fact sheets that state things such as, "compared with winning the lottery, you are 33 times as likely to be killed by bees” (according to this article in the LA times: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0330-mega-millions-20120330,0,3356135,full.story). Many people look at return to player percentages, which are informative when it comes to choosing a game wisely, but which do not tell you what the chances of you personally taking home cash are. They merely state the percentage that is taken home by people in general over a period of time.

The way that I evaluate my odds is by looking at the house edge. This is because calculating actual odds for any given game requires knowledge about the game rules, how many rounds or hands are being played, what combinations constitute wins, and other mathematical information that is difficult to understand. The house edge basically tells me how much more likely the casino is to win than I am. In a perfect zero-sum game, the casino would have a 50% chance of beating me and I would have a 50% chance of beating the house. However, if the house has an edge – say, of 5% - over me, then the new results are that I am likely to win only 46% of the time and the house is likely to win 55%. With each and every hand that gets played, I have a 55% chance of losing that hand (or spin or roll, etc.).

Another way to think of it is that for every $1 I wager, the house edge tells me how much I can expect to lose. A House Edge of 5% would amount to me losing about 5 cents per every dollar. Of course, this is how it averages out over the long term time for a typical gambler. In the short term there may be some very big wins or some very big losses, and in games like poker where skill is a determining factor, the odds change depending on the skill level. When looking at the house edge, the smaller it is the better. Think of it this way: would you rather lose 20 cents for every dollar or 5 cents (assuming the scenario that this is a game where you do not get especially lucky and take home a jackpot)?

So, how do the odds of many popular casino games add up? Well, our personal favorite, slots, have an extremely variable house edge. It depends on where you play it (online or off, and in which casino). On average the house edge for Slots is between 2-15%. That’s quite a large spread! You could be losing between 2 and 15 cents out of every dollar you wager. The thing about slot games is that the risk can be much greater but the potential rewards are usually much greater as well. In general, the slots with the best return to player percentages are going to be the ones with the lower house edge. How do other games compare?

Blackjack: .28%

Carribean Stud Poker: 5.22%

Craps: 1.36% - 16.67% (depending on bet type)

Keno: 25-29%

Pai Gow: 1.5%

Roulette: 2.7% (single 0) or 5.26% (double 0)

Video Poker (Jacks or Better): .46%

As you can see, blackjack is the game with the best house edge. Of course, blackjack doesn’t have a jackpot. So, unless you manage to win on a very large bet, you aren’t likely to take home a large sum of money. In the end, it’s up to the player to decide what game, and what odds, suit them best.

According to the Wiki page on slot machines, found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_machine, traditional slot machines (those in brick and mortar casinos) all started out by having a fixed jackpot system. This means that there is a set amount you can win (or a hierarchy of set amounts you can win) that is triggered by a specific series of symbols showing up on the reels. This amount never changes. If you get the correct combination on an active payline, you always win the amount specified for that combination. Many online slots operate in this same way. However, many online slots also have what are called Progressive Jackpots (PJ). By comparison, a PJ is a jackpot that is progressively growing until someone hits it. When the jackpot is won, the value of the jackpot resets to a predetermined baseline and starts to grow all over.

The way progressive jackpots operate is simple in concept. As players place their bets on a particular slot connected to the jackpot network, a small portion of each bet is put toward the progressive jackpot. This amount is very small but as more and more players play, it quickly accumulates. As long as there are players making wagers on a connected online slot this amount will continue to grow until the PJ is hit. This can happen by getting the winning combination of symbols as in traditional slots, randomly, or by playing through a specially designed bonus level. There is no limit to how high the PJ can grow before it is struck; so while wins are extremely rare, they are usually much, much larger than that of any fixed jackpot.

There are several different types of progressive jackpots, and knowing how they operate can help you determine which you would like to play on. The first is a shared PJ. A shared progressive is when one jackpot is shared a number of different online slots games. An example would be when 2 players are on different slots (Cleopatra’s Gold & Lion’s Lair, for example)but both have the opportunity to win the same jackpot. The advantage of this type of PJ is that you aren’t forced to play on a single game to compete for the biggest payout.

The second type is a multi-level jackpot. This means that there are several jackpots that can be hit from the same game. As players wager on a slot with this type of jackpot system, the portion of their wager that would go toward the PJ is dispersed among several jackpots. To illustrate this point: say a player places a $1 bet on a slot and out of this .06 cents is put toward the jackpots. 3 cents would go to the ‘Grand’ jackpot, 2 cents to the mid-level jackpot, and 1 cent to the smallest jackpot. This means that each jackpot is growing, but at different rates. The smaller jackpot will be the easiest of the 3 to hit.

The final common type of progressive is a combination of the 2. This means there is a system of several progressive jackpots, growing at different rates, that can be hit by playing on one of a variety of games that are all connected to the same jackpot system. For obvious reasons, this is these are the most popular, as there are multiple jackpots that can be hit and the broadness of the network of games ensures that the jackpot grows very high very quickly.

Progressive jackpots aren’t for everyone. Many of them require that you bet the max at all times to be eligible for the grand prize. But when it comes to winning big, no other jackpot is likely to compare to a PJ hit. You can check out one of our favorite review sites for slots, http://romancingtheslots.com/, for more information on the coolest slots online that offer progressive jackpots.

When it comes to signing up with a new casino,one of the first considerations is how good the bonuses are and, when given the option between multiple bonuses, which ones to take. Unless you have a decent amount of capital for providing a bankroll, it’s usually a good idea to utilize bonuses (wisely that is). Bonuses are a way of leveraging your odds of winning. The likelihood of hitting it big when playing with $40 is slightly greater than when playing with $20, if only because you have more playing time. Casinos know this and this is why they are always on the look-out for what are known in the industry as bonus abusers. On the other hand, bonuses also come with stipulations and requirements. It’s important to know this before deciding which (if any) you want to accept.

Withdrawal Limit

The first big issue to contend with is the withdrawal limit. This usually comes with free chip bonuses or no-deposit bonuses. Basically, the casino gives you free money to try out their games. The problem is, if you win a substantial jackpot, or even just build up a modest amount of credit, you probably won’t be able to withdraw more than a portion of it. A typical rule regarding this is a ‘2x the bonus’ clause. This means that if you win with a $20 free chip, you can only cash out $40, regardless of how much you actually won. Another issue to be aware of is that, after accepting a bonus like this, if you don’t run your account all the way down to 0 before depositing, then any money you win may be counted as winning with bonus money. Thus, it will be subject to the withdrawal limit, even though you feel you are playing with your own real money.

Wagering Requirements

The second issue is the wagering requirement. A wagering requirement is how much money you must wager through before cashing out. For some casinos, this requirement is very reasonable. Sometimes however, especially when it comes to skill-based games, the requirement could 45x or more your deposit + bonus. This means that if you deposit $100, and accept a bonus of $100, you’d have to wager through 100 + 100 x 45. That’s $9,000 that you must bet on various games before you are allowed to cash out anything that comes from that $200. Moreover, some casinos alter the percentage of your bet that counts toward your wagering requirement by game. Playing slots may count as 100%, so every dollar you bet is a dollar that goes toward your WR. But if blackjack only counts as 50%, only 50 cents of every dollar you bet counts. This means you’re far more likely to go bust before you reach the WR you need to cash out.

Other Stipulations

Finally, there are other stipulations such as betting size, game choice, and style of game play. Betting size refers to a limit that’s placed on your wager; say, 10% of your overall bonus. This means that with a $100 bonus, the most you can bet on any game at a given point in time is $10. If you exceed the betting size limit, your winnings will be voided. Game choice is a restriction where you are only allowed to play certain games with your bonus money. If you play blackjack for a hand or 2 when the bonus rules said you can only play slots, then any winnings you get- even if you win it on slots later- will be confiscated by the casino. Lastly, some casinos have rules pertaining to the ‘spirit of the bonus’. This means you can’t engage in certain styles of advantage game play, such as betting large at first and then changing to small bets after a big win to grind out your WR. Once again, if you aren’t careful, the casino may decide that your style of advantage play is not something they wish to encourage and your withdrawal request will be denied.

So, does this mean that bonuses aren’t worth the effort of dealing with? As pointed out, they can provide a good deal of playtime, especially to the low-roller whose bankroll would otherwise be depleted very quickly. Also, not every casino is the same and the requirements for each bonus are not always the same either, even within the same casino. Each individual must decide for themselves whether or not they want to accept the “free money” being offered. Just make sure you know what you’re getting into before you accept.

The future of online gambling in the U.S. is a murky topic of debate at best. Laws have been upheld, then upended. Amendments have been put forward, and quashed or rewritten. On a personal level, for many people it comes down to whether or not gambling itself is a vice that should be withheld from the public, whether corruption surrounds the industry, and whether gambling online is moral or a corrosive additive to the American cultural mix. After all, gambling goes against the belief systems of many religious groups in the country, and there’s no denying that compulsive/problem gambling can have a deleterious effect on individuals, families, and their communities.

However, for law-makers, the issue of morality cannot (and we feel should not) be the only consideration. For one thing, the idea that gambling is immoral is not necessarily a belief held by all, nor one that should necessarily be forced upon the law-abiding public. There are plenty of financial considerations as well. Millions of dollars are spent on foreign corporations which provide online gambling and this raises serious concerns: the consumer protections are limited since online gambling cannot be regulated by the government if it is not technically legal, and there is a lost opportunity for state and federal revenue through taxation. Basically, online gambling is expensive for the American people and as of now, no one stands to benefit from the millions being lost on it (save the lucky few who occasionally win).

To add to this dilemma, there are precedents which have been established that pertain to gambling in the U.S. In many states, gambling is dealt with on a state level, as opposed to a federal one. Both Hawaii and Utah are states that offer no legal form of gambling whatsoever whereas Nevada is one of the gambling capitols of the world. Prior to this past December, the Wire Act of 1961 was used to substantiate a prohibition on online gambling. In 2006, then President Bush issued the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act. This further prohibited certain types of online transactions and made bank transfers online for the purposes of gambling nearly impossible to accomplish. Together, the conclusion was that operating an online casino or betting site was illegal, and most banks would not transfer funds used for gambling online, which made online gambling difficult on an individual level as well. http://onlinecasinosforusplayers.co/gambling-for-us-players/ points out the difficulty in finding trustworthy casinos when so much of the industry refuses to accept your patronage based on the financial constraints the UIGEA has placed on American banks.

In more recent times (December of 2011), the Dept. of Justice reversed their original ruling and decided that the language of the ’61 Wire Act applied only to online sports betting. Other forms of gambling online *may* be legal, at least on an intra-state basis. That is not the same as outright legalizing it and it leaves all regulation potentials up in the air for states to decide. This has worked for Canada, according to http://www.cbc.ca/, as they have specific jurisdictions where online gambling is legalized. However, those who fall on the side of the debate against online gambling are lobbying for yet another reassessment of current law, citing addiction and broken homes as reasons for the Federal government to deny states the right to offer online gambling, regardless of the votes of that state’s constituents. This means the U.S. may not be able to pull off a jurisdictional approach. Basically, there’s no way to please everyone in this case.

One of the most overlooked opportunities provided by online casinos, is the chance to engage in tournaments. Traditionally, poker was the only game that came in a tournament format, and for obvious reasons. The very structure of the game has always been predicated on the idea of competition between multiple players. It wasn’t even until 1970 that poker machines finally became the video poker machines we are familiar with today; meaning, the game was set-up like traditional poker but involved playing alone (technically against the house) as opposed to playing against one or more other players. However, these days all kinds of online casino games have been re-imagined to suit a competitive tournament style of game play that involves pitting one’s luck against a group of other players. Slots are no exception. If you don’t believe me, check out youtube.com and type in “slot tournaments”. The best part is, what began in regular brick and mortar casinos has finally made its way online.

The Advantages to Slot Tournaments

The advantages to joining in an online slot tournament are numerous. Many casinos offer ‘free spin’ tourneys with no buy-in. If you register for one of these, you’ll have the chance to compete for prizes without spending any of your own money. Tournaments also add a social atmosphere to online gaming: the leaderboard keeps you informed of your position and rank in the game, as well as tells you who’s in the lead. Many tourney’s also have chat applications set up alongside regular gameplay. You can use this to interact and boast or taunt other players. This adds a new level of competitive excitement to the online slot experience, without requiring you to get dressed up or leave the comfort of your home.

How Does a Slot Tournament Work?

So, you may ask, how does this work? After all, slots are traditionally solo enterprises. They consist of you, the house, and the spinning reels between you. In a slot tournament the gameplay is actually the same. The first thing you do is register for the tournament ahead of time. At the appointed time and day you log in and the casino will give you a specific number of free credits (as if you were playing in practice or demo mode). This is the same amount for each player so you all have an equal chance of winning. You then play the designated slot game and try to build up your free credits. When the tournament is over, the player(s) with the largest bankroll in free credits wins.

What Else Do I Need to Know?

You do NOT win the free credits you were playing with. The prizes for the top players will be posted along with the start and end times of the tournament. You can gauge whether or not you want to register based on the buy-in cost and the prizes being offered. The way the tournament operates will vary by the casino. The length of time for the tournament is determined by the casino. Some will run for several days but only allow a certain number of hours to be spent on tournament play. Others will have smaller tourneys that are over in as little as 15 minutes. The free spin tournaments usually have a cap on the number of people that can register to play, and fill up quickly, so it pays to pay attention. Finally, there are a number of sites out there that post various slot tournaments around the web, along with their dates and times. This can be a good way to keep track of the slot tourneys being offered at multiple casinos.

If you haven’t played a slot tournament, I recommend you sign up today. It’s the one time when gambling online that there’s an absolute guaranteed winner. How often do you find that in a regular casino?

The world of online gambling is fun, convenient, and sometimes even profitable. The one thing that will assuredly ruin this good time (which is sometimes spent in your boxers) is hitting it big and then fighting for months with the casino over withdrawing your winnings. What many people sadly discover is that the casino operator has no intention of ever paying out, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Because of the different laws that deal with gambling and the disperse, global nature of the internet, it isn’t as difficult as it should be for operators to set up fraudulent, crooked sites. Usually when things go wrong or players begin to catch on to their cheating ways, these sites shut down and the operators disappear with all of the users’ money. These sites are called rogue casinos.

Rogue casinos vary in their degree of ‘badness’, but what it basically comes down to is that they do not operate by industry standards. Sometimes it simply means that their customer service is unreliable and they are too complacent or uncaring when it comes to addressing player concerns. Other times it means they are outright fraudulent sites that have no intention of operating fairly. In order to protect yourself from casinos like these, there are 3 major tips you should always follow.

1. Look at the license and certification of the online casino you are interested in. Is the software tested and verified? Is the casino licensed out of a reputable gambling jurisdiction? Having a license out of the Caribbean Islands for instance, is less reputable than having one from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (check out http://www.gamingcommission.ca/ for info on the KGC). It doesn’t mean the site is rogue, but it should set-off a red flag for you that further investigation is warranted. If you cannot find out where it was licensed and/or customer service is unable to tell you this information, avoid that casino.

2. Read the Terms and Conditions carefully. Some casinos actually operate according to ‘the rules’ as it were, but the T&Cs are so strict, it’s almost impossible to win anything. Some casinos continue operating because they hold up their end of the contract (what you’re entering into when you set up an account and agree to play by their terms) and players do sometimes win, but they have conditions in their terms that place restrictions on your game play. Sometimes these restrictions are intentionally vague or hard to find, and you don’t discover that you’ve broken a term until the casino decides to void your winnings later.

3. The final trick is to use a search engine to find complaints about the casino. Try typing the name of the site along with the word ‘rogue’ or ‘complaints’. Don’t just use the name of the site because the first results you get in your search will end up being promotional reviews, and these can’t really be trusted. Look in forums and see what other players say about the casino. Use your best judgment when it comes to deciding how believable the complaint is. There are also plenty of blacklists out there that warn against certain casino sites that are known for rogue practices. If your casino shows up on one of these lists, avoid it at all costs!

If you follow those 3 simple rules before making a deposit, the likelihood of falling prey to a rogue operator are incredibly small. You’ll then be able to gamble online with confidence.

When it comes to playing slots online, there are a number of questions everyone wants to know before beginning. How do you know the games aren’t rigged? How do the odds compare to regular slots in a land-based casino? What’s the best slot strategy? Do betting systems work? What tips will improve overall slot gameplay? These are completely legitimate concerns, and things that every player should ask themselves if you haven’t already thought about them.

First of all, check out my previous post on RNG software at http://onlinecasinoslots.ca/component/content/article/298-a-word-about-rngs if you want to know about how slot games are NOT rigged if you play at a vetted, secure casino that has their software tested and certified. As to how the odds compare between online slots and brick-and-mortar casino slots, reputable online casinos are audited on a monthly basis. The results of these audits will show what the average payout percentage is (this is the amount that gets returned to customers in winnings), and are published for the public. The average payout percentage in a land based casino ranges between 75% and 98% depending on the casino and where it is. In Nevada, the lowest it can pay back is 75% while in Mississippi the lowest is 80%. Because competition for online players is much stiffer online slots pay out on average between 90% and 98%. It’s actually possible for a slot game to run at over 100% for a time. This means that online slot odds are actually better than the odds of slot machines in a regular casino.

The best betting strategy for an online slots game is to bet on all lines. Jackpots can typically only be triggered if a bet is placed on all lines, and you don’t want to miss out on that opportunity. Another reason is that bonus rounds are one of the best ways to rack up extra credits. However, if you don’t have a bet placed to activate all lines, the likelihood of triggering the bonus level is much lower. By comparison, betting systems are not a strategy, and simply don’t work. For a detailed explanation of why this is, check out http://slots.gambling.org/slot-systems/. My advice: never trust a betting system; especially one that you’re asked to purchase. The only person getting rich with that system is the person selling it to you.

Finally, the number one slot tip I can give you to improve overall gameplay is this: Have fun playing slots, but never breach your bankroll limit. Nothing sours an evening of game play more than losing more than you can afford. The consequences can be large and wide-ranging, and in the end, these games should be fun, not bankrupting!

If the acronym RNG doesn’t sound familiar to you, then there’s at least one instrumental aspect of online slots that you need to understand. This is especially pertinent to all the newbies and interested parties out there who wonder if online gambling is anything more than a rigged (losing) affair. RNG stands for Random Number Generator and it’s what powers the opportunity you have to make real money online. How is this, you ask?

Chance is the very soul of gambling. The fact that you can never know what the next card will be, or what combination you will roll on the dice, is what makes gambling so exciting and why cheating is such a huge problem (even when real money is not involved). No one has the right to change the odds or alter your chances when it comes to winning. One of the biggest fears when it comes to online gambling is that the online casino might be changing the odds to be in their favor, or ‘fixing’ the games, so that you can never really win.

A random number generator is what protects your ability to win, despite whatever the casino operator may want. A RNG is built into the software that powers the game. It has numbers that it cycles through- thousands of them- and it is programmed to cycle through them at high speed in a totally random fashion. Random is important here because it means that no one has the ability to guess or control what number comes up at any given time. Each of these numbers is assigned a meaning (such as to a symbol on the reels of an online slot game). Whatever number the RNG pulls up correlates to what you get in the game, and this could be a winning or losing combination. You can check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation to learn more about how this works if you’re interested. All that really matters in the end though is that you never know what you’re going to get and no one else should be able to know (or control) that either.

A RNG technically can be ‘fixed’ if a casino operator has the means and desire to re-program it and alter its ‘randomness’. However, reputable online casinos like the ones we promote have their software tested by an independent, 3^rd party testing facility where people specialize in these programs. This 3^rd party facility will run a series of tests to insure that the RNG does what it is supposed to do and never has a discernible pattern. Whether you choose one of the casinos on this site, or another, you should always make sure that the site you use has proof of this testing. That RNG is what controls your fate in the game- make sure it is vetted and fair!
