Never ending facts about gambling

Online casinos use a computer program called a random number generator (RNG) to generate the results for their games. These programs duplicate the odds and probability you would see in a live casino game.

In a sense, all online casino betting games are rigged. But not in the way you think. The management of the casino can’t turn a slot machine you’ve been winning on “off”. The random number generator takes care of that by paying off less than the true odds of winning. Casinos are willing to accept short term losses in order to keep you motivated to play their games. If no one ever won, no one would ever play.

For the longest time everyone thought that the cartoonish kings in a pack of cards are just that: cartoons. Actually, there is a story behind this as well. Each of the illustrated kings represents a real one from times immemorial. King David of Israel represents spades, the French King Charlemagne is for the hearts, Alexander the Great, the Macedonian King represents clubs, while diamonds is for the Emperor of Rome, Augustus Caesar.

There are some other facts such as if you were playing an online sports betting game where you could win every time you bet, but you only win $95 for every $100 bet. In other words, every time you bet, you’d see a net loss of $5 or so. No one would play that game. But give someone a chance of winning in the short term, and they’ll be all over that game trying to get lucky.

 

Online games also involve cheating via software

Many players seem to have about online casinos cheating or having rigged software. That’s a legitimate concern, and it does happen. Players at some casinos who have played dozens of hands of blackjack or video poker without ever being dealt a winning hand. But it’s still rarer than we think.

Although a lot of the countries have legalized gambling, there still are some places where it is a crime to indulge in such activities. Such was also the case back in England, in the 18th century. Can you imagine what their idea was to overcome the situation in the event of a raid? Hiring people who would swallow the dice when the police come over.

If you know even a little bit about gambling you’d know that there is something called casino chips that are also applicable in case of online live roulette casino games. There are blue, white and red chips, each of them having a different value. Now it so happens that the blue coloured chips are of the highest value and the term blue chips started being associated with well-established and credit worthy companies. The practice continues to date.

The fact is that casino games already have an unassailable mathematical edge over the player. If you play any of these games long enough, you’ll eventually lose all your money. That’s how the games are set up in case of online live roulette casino games.
