| Blackjack A variety of games are offered and all are available in either multi-player or single-player mode. If you're at a single-player table, you may spread to a total of 5 hands, if you wish. Since all the different Blackjack games offer limits of $1-$55 (some are $100) per spot, a spread of $1 to $275 is possible. The games are styled after those found in many famous locations. This is one of the few casinos on the Internet that does not shuffle the cards after |
Blackjack every 'round' in their multi-deck games. The single-deck games are shuffled after every round, but the multi-deck games are shuffled "randomly, beginning at the 50-70% level", except that the double-decker is shuffled a bit earlier. So, the choice is clear: if you're a counter, go with one of the multi-deck games and, if you're not, go with one of the single-deck games. Play |

City Blackjack  Standard
blackjack with favorable rules for the player.Set: 6 Decks are used which is standard. It makes it more difficult to keep track of the cards. The cards are shuffled at about 50% penetration level (after about 50% of the deck was played) which is good because it helps you to keep track of the cards more easily. Betting Limits are $1-$55, $5-$200 or $10-$300 per box which again is very good because you can bet as little as $1 up to as much as $300 (there are five boxes on each table, one for each player or hand / see picture). The house edge is 0.33% which is average. |
Atlantic
City Blackjack Rules: You can play up to 5 hands at once which is excellent. The dealer stands on A-6 which is standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards which is better than what land based casinos offer you. You even can double down after you split pairs which again is exceptionally good. Pairs may be split to 4 hands which is excellent and lots of fun. You can surrender against 10 and Ace after the dealer has looked at his second card. When the dealer has an 10, or an ace showing, the chance of losing is greater than 75%, which makes it a good option for you. Insurance is offered when the dealer's exposed card is an ace. Play |

Insurance is offered if you think that the dealer might have a blackjack. !!!: The dealer does not peak to tell you if he has a blackjack, so if he gets a blackjack, all bets are lost. If you surrender and the dealer has a blackjack, you lose the entire bet. If you split a pair or double against a 10 and the dealer has a blackjack, you'll lose only the original bet. Play |

Blackjack Rules: You can play up to 5 hands at once which is excellent. The dealer stands on A-6 which is standard. Doubling down is only allowed on 9, 10 and 11 which is standard for land based casinos. Online casinos allow you to double down about any first pair usually. But it makes the game more authentic this way. You are not allowed to double down after you split a pair tough. You may split pairs to 2 hands only which is below average, because other casinos allow you to split the cards up to 3 hands. The dealer does not peak to tell you if he has a blackjack, so if he gets a blackjack, all bets are lost. No surrender is available. Play |

European Roulette This
is a single-zero wheel which sets the casino's basic edge at 2.70%.
Additionally the casino uses the "la partage" rule which
causes the player to lose only half the bet on the 'outside' bets,
should the zero come up (also called the 'en prison' rule). The
'outside' bets are high, low; red, black; odd and even. By losing only
half the bet, the casino's edge on those bets is cut down to 1.35%.
Compare this to the house edge at an American roulette table, which is
5.3%. The betting limits are $1-$2000, $5-$4,000 and
$10-$6,000. Play |
American
Roulette They
offer a double-zero wheel as well, but the 'la partage' rule does not
apply, so the casino's edge stays at 5.3%. You really should not
play here. But it is positive that Global-Player Casino offers both
the European and the American roulette version. The
betting limits are $1-$2000, $5-$4,000 and $10-$6,000,
which are probably the highest betting limits you will find at online
casinos. Usually you are not allowed to bet more
than about $500. This is the reason why Global-Player is our No.1
Choice for online roulette. Play |
| A negative point here is: the history of spins is limited to two, where you'll probably need more than two spins in review to analyze the game when betting $6,000 on a spin. | |

Slots |
Slots machines, two of them meter each a progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot at their Golden Planet Premium slot machine gets quite large most of the time. The last time I took a look it was metering US 31,000 (Thirty One Thousand US Dollar). An amazing feature is that you can 'dial-in' a number of games, minimize the screen, go play Blackjack, drink a coffee, chat with your friends or whatever and the little rascal will just keep on playing. The denominations you wish to play are 25c, 50c, $1, and $5, so the max betting limit is $15. Play |
