In Blackjack Terms Part 1, we covered terminology such as Hit and Stand, Double Down and Split. In this second and final installment in the series, we will deal with (sorry!) the few remaining blackjack terms that might need some further explanation.

Insurance

This is a side bet offered to you when the dealer’s up card is an Ace, to insure you against the possibility of him holding Blackjack. The side bet will cost you half of your original wager.

If you pay for insurance and the dealer does have Blackjack, you are paid 2:1 on your insurance bet but your original bet on the hand is Read the rest of this entry »

Hit : To request another card, a player can hit as many times as he wishes to try to improve his hand but if he busts (his cards total greater than 21) then that particular blackjack hand is lost.

Stand : To stop adding cards to a blackjack hand and to see what the dealer is holding, the player stands. He does this when he is happy with the value of his cards against the dealer’s up card.

Double Down : Generally, you can double down after receiving your first two cards and they have the value of 9, 10 or 11. This card value rule alters slightly between casinos and between blackjack variants but it is 9, 10 or 11 in the majority of cases.

On clicking the double down button, you have agreed to “buy” one extra card. Your original bet for that hand is doubled, you are dealt the extra card you bought and your hand automatically stands. Your hand is now played and you must Read the rest of this entry »

Ukash is the very latest way to fund your online casino accounts. It is a voucher based system and works in much the same way as top-up cards do for Pay As You Go mobile phones in the UK. You go to a shop (yes this requires you to go outside and interact with people) displaying the Ukash PayPoint logo and purchase a voucher with cash, credit or debit card.

Ukash vouchers range in value from a minimum £5 to £100 maximum. They contain a unique 19-digit number and a 12 month expiry date. All you need to do is choose the Ukash deposit method within the casino banking module and enter your 19-digit number. The Ukash voucher value you purchased with cash will now appear in your casino playing account. Simple. Read the rest of this entry »

Click2Pay is not available to US residents following the implementation of the UIGEA late last year - sorry guys!

With many people hesitant to give their credit or debit card details to online companies they have never dealt with before, the popularity of financial intermediaries or online web wallets has increased dramatically over the last few years. For those of you who are still able to transact with casinos using credit and debit cards (hello UK!), you can do so with 100% confidence at ALL of the casinos featured here at CSI.

Click2Pay is one such web wallet that has benefited from the public’s inbuilt mistrust. You can still fund your Click2Pay account with a credit card, incurring a 3% transaction fee, but once in funds you can deposit to and withdraw from your online casino player accounts at your convenience, securely. Acting as an intermediary between your credit card and the casino, Click2Pay ensures that card rejections no longer take place. Read the rest of this entry »

Once again, a world record online casino jackpot has been won at Intercasino. Factory worker, ‘Obaesso’, and his wife were apparently playing Millionaires Club progressive slot for the first time on Tuesday 15th May 2007 when the third arrow spun in on the bonus wheel game - isn’t it always the way? The exact sum won is yet to be confirmed by Intercasino staff but I had seen the progressive jackpot at about £5,800,000 only the day before this announcement was made so it was at least that big!

Support staff did give me the following quote:

At first he did not believe he had reached the jackpot so he phoned us to get confirmation. When we gave him the news he jumped for joy and couldn’t believe his luck!

Stick with me and the CSI Team for the latest news on this remarkable progressive slot jackpot. 

The Chipster has spun those bonus wheels many times and won some tidy chunks but never been able to hit that third arrow for the big jackpot! Read the rest of this entry »

Treasure Ireland UK fruit machine is another competent Microgaming release, available in the popular Flash version of many of their online casinos. These UK pub-style fruit machines are great fun to play, always amusingly themed and have many features and mini-games to keep your interest.

I am going to have a huge problem reviewing this UK fruit machine, however, because it is exactly the same as another Microgaming AWP machine, Apocalypse Cow! The only differences between the two fruit machines are in theme and sound, all other aspects of gameplay are identical.

This is not a negative, Treasure Ireland is still a great UK style fruit machine, it’s just that I don’t want to repeat an existing fruit machine review word for word. I can do you some pretty pictures though… Read the rest of this entry »
