I love casinos and roulette is probably my favorite game, although I have recently become rather fond of Baccarat.  This site will be about one specific aspect of roulette and that is the variety of systems and methods that exist.  You may be surprised to find out the sheer number of such systems that exist.

Wherever possible I will try to include an opinion of the particular system, some of the mathematics behind it and clear guidelines on how it actually works.   All the major ones will be included here starting with the Martingale and it’s many variants.  The important thing to remember across all of these systems is the following two points which apply to them all –

  • No roulette system will change the odds of the wheel.
  • No strategy will ever guarantee you winning.

These are important points to remember, roulette like most casino games has a negative expectation.  That is you should expect to lose if you play it for too long.  The house has an advantage built into the rules of each game – it’s known as the house edge and you can’t get rid of it.  There are some who claim they have methods to nullify this advantage but all of them are incorrect.

Using Roulette Systems

You will see that although there is no inherent advantage to playing a system as far as the core probability is involved, there are usually no disadvantages either.  As long as  you don’t modify your expectations, most (but not all) are relatively harmless.

It is important to remember that roulette and all the games in the casino are meant to fun.  It is a form of entertainment not a money making pastime, sure sometimes you win but often you will lose – no system will change this.  If a system is boring then stop using it – there’s simply no point to playing roulette with or without a system if it’s not fun.  If you’re looking for money making schemes – playing roulette is not a smart one.

So enjoy our site and if you fancy trying out a systems feel free, eventually they will all be here as I transfer all the ones I have come across over the years.   Never pay for a system for a game of chance like roulette – it will be worthless.  If you want to try any of these systems then why not practice on one of our free games here – it will give you a chance to evaluate without losing a fortune.  None of the games featured here are modified or enhanced so they can be used as good indicator of any roulette or casino game strategy that you wish to test.

We’ve had a few good Bodog slots coming out recently including some very decent 3d ones for those who want  a change from playing their favourite roulette system.  I’m not a huge fan of online slots, but will always enjoy them if I’m in the right mood. Bodog Casino has all the latest ones, so you can pick whatever you like to indulge in some fun online gambling.  If you’re focused on the pay outs, see the section below on highest paying slots.

For those who are young at heart it might be worth checking out the new one from BetSoft which you can find on the Bodog online Casino in the slots section.  It is based on the tale of Pinocchio and it’s definitely worth trying, it’s an interactive 3d slot which is based on the classic children’s fairy tale.  Sure, sounds a little young but like the best slot games it’s entertaining and fun for an hour or so and a lot less intense than their poker rooms!

It actually has some sort of story line, well kind of, which allows you to control the puppet’s fortune and hopefully build your won.  The longer you play  the more the story line develops, from the start in the old shop where Pinocchio was created by Gepetto.   Like all the best story driven slots, the story moves along in response to the full meter which is at the top of the screen.

Every time you spin, you collect coins which add to this fill meter which means the story moves on irrespective of how well you do in the game.  Every time the fill meter is completed you move onto the next level and the slot machine changes quite a bit, there are lots of mini stories within the game too.  The narrative moves into school, then the final level is set on the stage where there is a performance by the puppet boy.  As is common with most of these bodog casino slots, there’s a narrative throughout the game.

Lots of games and animations during the game too, it’s a very friendly and easy to play game.  I’ve found out of all the Bodog casino slots, the character based ones seem to be more entertaining.  I’m guessing if there’s license fees or royalties involved you need to put a little more effort into the gameplay. There’s neat little features like the ‘double up’ section where you can double (or half) your winnings based on the toss of a coin.   It’s an interesting development in the world of online slot machines with much more of an interaction from earlier efforts.  If you want to test out the features though without risking money, just follow the link above for access to all the bodog free casino games which can be played in free mode.  If you want to play other games they are all available there too including all the Bodog casino tables and other games.

Best Pay Outs  on Casino Slots

It’s difficult to be sure about the relative pay outs when playing for real money in any online casino.  The rates will normally be posted depending on which gaming license federation are in charge of the site.  Forget any assessment of pay outs when playing free spins – if it’s not real cash then it doesn’t count!  This doesn’t include the free spins you’ll get from Bodog offers (or at any other casino offers). Even though it can be difficult to cash in these bonuses because of playthrough restrictions they are potentially money.  (what does playthrough in an online casino mean)

Let’s have a look at some of the slots which are renowned for their pay out potential –

Gold Rush Gus Slot

This slot has loads of bonus features and can be a little confusing to play until you get the hang of it.  It is great fun though and the bonuses are the key to winning a decent amount on this slot.  There’s something called the Treasure Chest Scatter which has a progressive jackpot plus links in to a person jackpot meter.  Loads of other bonuses as mentioned including a ‘respin feature’ which I like as it gives a losing spin a second chance to win.

Food Fight

The key to winning on this game is the monster progressive jackpot for landing five pudding icons in line.  Remember to be eligible for this jackpot you need to wager 45 coins per spin, basically to get all the pay lines to trigger this jackpot.  Obviously this can be an expensive slot to play if you run at this level every spin.  The biggest standard win available outside the jackpots is 500 coins and it does have the losing spin/respin feature.

Not my favourite slot by a long way, I find this one a bit dull. However lots of people do seem too swear on it’s pay out possibilities so perhaps that’s worth a less exciting game play.

Story Games

There has been a growing push in the world of online gaming to incorporate these stories and plot lines into these games. Most of the best online casinos will have a host of these types of slots.
In some ways this a good thing, it makes the game more appealing and interesting than the normal slots which have a tendency to zombify the players into simply pressing the spin button (or even worse the autoplay!) without any real interest in the game itself.   This is something you should be careful about in Bodog slots because they can be quite addictive. It’s been missing for a long time, the fun element is essential in these game so that players enjoy them when they both win or lose – although obviously more fun is had when your bank balance is growing.

These story lines though do come with a danger especially when you’ve stopped using the free casino offers and are playing for real. The issue is the progress bar which you basically have to keep playing to finish, can lead people to play for longer than they should. I’ve always been a bit wary of these functions in any sort of real time gaming as they can turn out to be very expensive.

It’s basically because they’re designed to keep you playing longer and faster. The techniques are evident in all areas of these online games, I’m sure video poker spins have accelerated in the past decade too. In the same way that it’s much easier to lose in computer managed games than it is with a live dealer, simply because there is a built in latency to the game especially if it incorporates live chat.
