That is where we come in by doing our best to keep you in touch. Before a new online casino goes live they seek contact with websites who are willing to promote them and go into partnership with them. Those websites are called affiliates, a term you will often come across in the travel world. It is similar to an agency arrangement but a bit more exclusive.

It is fair to say that other than the slots most online casino games have been around for a very long time. Clearly some of these casino games have not been available at our land based casinos, and the online casinos have effectively reintroduced them to us on a much wider scale. There are however a few casino games which are relatively new, one of which is Caribbean Stud poker which seems to have been developed during the last 30 years. Caribbean Stud is a form of poker which can be played against the dealer, much the same as blackjack, and is therefore ideally suited to the online casinos and is becoming a popular introduction to online poker for inexperienced players. The player is dealt a full five card hand face-up, with the dealer also having five cards only one of which can be seen by the player. There is usually an ante bet at least equal to the minimum table stake before the deal, and when all the cards have been dealt the player has the opportunity to raise the stake further, again by at least the minimum table stake, or of course surrender their cards if they are not prepared to raise the stake. The value of the hands is in line with standard poker rules, but there is a slight twist when it comes to the dealer winning. The dealer must have what is called a qualifying hand to win, and this is usually at least Ace, King high. If the dealer does not have a qualifying hand, the raised stake money is returned to the player and the ante bet is paid out at even money. [click to continue…]

As part of our attempt to help new online casino customers to find the right online casino for them, we regularly review all the major sites available to Irish gamblers. This month it is time to take another look at Party casino. Established in 1977, Party casino was one of the first online casinos in the world and has grown to such an extent that they now claim to be the biggest in the world. The Party online casino site is one of three online sites owned by Party Gaming, the holding company, the other two being Party Poker and Party Bets. Party Poker is very well known in Ireland and is one of the foremost online poker sites in the world, but Party casino and Party Bets, their online sports gambling site are probably less well known for some reason. This is a pity because Party casino is an excellent online casino site, with all the usual casino games such as roulette and blackjack, plus a variety of video poker games which are as good as any currently available online. There are also a huge range of slots, which won Party casino the slot Operator of the year in 1010, and of course a Live casino option which includes an excellent Baccarat game. As befits an online casino operated by a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, the deposit options and online security are second to none in the field, and customers choosing to register with Party casino will also have access to Party Poker and Party Bets without the need to register again.

There are two kinds of websites in existence; those that promote absolutely any online free casino that asks and those that take online gaming seriously and have a number of criteria which an online casino must fulfil before any partnership can be formed. Our site belongs in the second category. We have a number of criteria that will determine whether a casino will be part of our homepage or not. The financial aspect of which is a very minor role. If you link through us to a casino online ie we derive an income (paid by the casino, not by you) which allows us to keep our site up to date with the latest news , actions and tips and we can also get involved in any conflict with the casino that you are unable to resolve. This last item is luckily very infrequent but that is partly due to the parameters that we set before we do business with a live casino online.
We are in regular contact with our partners about their offerings; for example is there a free casino option where players can try out free casino games and familiarize themselves with the game rules. Nearly every casino online offers free casino play but some take it more seriously than others. The free casino play should emulate the real play as closely as possible and the free casino games should only offer the same chance of winning as in real play. We look at how easy it is to deposit cash and more importantly how easy it is to get your winnings out and how long it takes. If it is more than 48 hours we are unlikely to do business. We look at the total offering of casino games as well as the graphics but also how well the casino games are explained and whether there is a teaching page. We look for an option of flash or instant casinos where there is no download required which some prefer. All in all we try to give you the best experience possible and you can help us by clicking through and registering with your favourite casino online.
