News about a specific single bookmaker will be found on the page relating to that bookmaker if it is one that we recommend otherwise it will be here on the general casino news page. The best way to find news about a specific topic is to type a keyword into our search section and it will take you to any relevant casino news article. Alternatively you can view previous articles or choose a year and month. We try to keep our articles factual but at the same time easy to read and where possible light humoured; online casino news can at times be quite dull especially when legislation is the topic but we do our best to entertain as well as inform. We do not operate a casino ourselves which leaves us free to criticise those that do (within legal limits of course) if we feel it warranted. At the same time we will often give a brief opinion at the end of an online casino news article and we are of course willing to praise what we think is good behaviour from gaming operators. Not operating a casino also means that we can do casino news stories freely without fear of repercussions; we recommend a few online casinos but we are not tied to them, in fact if we think any one of them is behaving in an improper manner we shall remove them from our recommended list. On the other side of the coin we will on occasions add a casino site that we think warrants it. Online casino news and casino news are big subjects with something happening every day so we cannot cover everything so if we miss something please accept our apologies. Sports betting is also big business in today’s world so some of our news will be about various sports betting but as we have no sports news page they will appear here on the Casino news page. For big sporting events we sometimes trawl around various betting firms for you to find the best odds available, if you are going to gamble you may as well do so as much in your favour as possible. Keep visiting our site on a regular basis and we shall keep you up to date with casino news from around the globe.

General Casino News
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…]

Modern day technology has irreversibly changed the way we run our lives. Nowadays it is almost assumed that we all have access to the internet, to such an extent that many major organisations actively discourage telephone contact in favour of e-mail. New generation mobile phones and tablet computers even allow us to use the internet while we are on the move, so it is no longer necessary to confine our internet activity to the time we are at home. This of course also applies to our leisure activities, and while most people still play casino games on their home computer, it is clear from the annual financial reports of the major online casino operators that the use of mobile technology for internet sports gambling and playing casino games online is a major growth area. Here at onlinecasino.ie we often highlight the inherent advantages that the online casinos have over their land based rivals, such as the bigger choice of casino games and the lower minimum stakes, but modern mobile technology has now added another significant advantage to that list, and the online casinos and online sports betting sites are clearly reaping the benefit. There is no doubt that not only have the online casinos been able to reach a wider audience by bringing us the option of playing casino games at home, but they have now been able to increase the time we have available to enjoy our favourite games.
