5 Key Tips To Responsible Gaming

Taking full responsibility of one’s actions is a must when playing in online casinos. It takes a lot of self-control and discipline. Responsible gaming should be readily observed and practiced in order to have a much better playing experience.

Here are some of the tips that can help you become more vigilant with your gaming activities:

Set priorities
There is no doubt that everyone can get hooked with playing in online casinos. But always remember that gaming is not your main priority. Always remember that this is just a diversion and diversions should not control your life. There are other activities that require your attention.

Manage your bankroll
Observe your bankroll. Stick to your budget. Do not spend more than what you can afford. Set a limit to the amount of money that you will shell out. Even if you feel the urge to make that “final bet,” if that means that you will spend more than what you have, do not do it. You will always have the time to play. But it will take you quite some time to recover all your bets.

Manage your time
Keep track of the amount of time that you spend playing in online casinos. If you find yourself sitting in front of the computer more often than the usual, you better change your ways. As much as possible, it would be best if you can keep a record so that you will know what to do. It will give you a heads up just in case you are going overboard.

Avoid playing when frustrated
Playing when you are frustrated or disappointed or when you are being too upset and emotional is not a good thing. Losing your cool and playing at the same time will greatly affect your moves. You will find it hard to concentrate. Most of the times, this will also prevent you from sticking to your budget. If you think that you are having a bad time in baccarat or roulette, for example, take a break.

Trying hard to recover the losses
Evidently, this is not a wise move. Again, this will only force you to go beyond your allotted budget. If you want to lessen your losses, follow a good strategy.

When you play in online casinos, always remember that you should always take full control of your activities. Again, you should be responsible for your actions.

5 Advantages Of Practicing Etiquette In Live Roulette

Observing etiquette in live roulette brings certain benefits. This is despite of the notion that etiquette no longer applies online. What many do not understand is how it can affect your game and bring them favorable results.

Better gaming experience
You cannot prevent disappointment and frustrations when you are playing live roulette. This is most especially true if the game becomes more intense. There are instances wherein you want to vent it out to other players or to the dealer. But controlling your emotions is a better option rather than blaming others. Observing etiquette or good gaming manners ensures you of a better gaming experience.

Higher winning chances
Relatively, if you are in a good mood, you can think clearly. It can help you make strategic moves, thus, improving not only your winning chances but also how you manage your bankroll.

Connecting to other players
Showing respect to other players—acknowledging them when they win instead of humiliating them will create an instant connection.

Simply because you do not personally know each other already means that you have the right to put another player into the hall of shame. You must always remember that they are real people.

Respecting one another is a must when you join live roulette. Sometimes, connections formed online tend to develop and blossom that some players even share trade secrets to one another.

Avoiding chat block
Some players abuse the chat option. They cuss and swear. Such actions leave other players with no choice but to block the abusive player, preventing the latter from communicating with other individuals. Needless to say, this is not a good sign for excessive abuse might prohibit such player from joining the game.

Mutual respect
Good etiquette harbors mutual respect. As mentioned, it can help you connect with other people and at the same time, it establishes your reputation as a good player.

The online world is a big community shared by many. Observing proper etiquettes not only in live roulette, but also in other live games, indeed, create a positive impact in the game.

A Quick Guide To Playing Online Sic Bo

In the Asian region, Sic Bo is one of the most played games. This is here in 12BET,  we are including it in our live game tournament. Sic Bo, however, tends to intimidate many players, most especially those who will be playing this game for the first time. Thus, the question, how is Sic Bo played?

Sic Bo and other dice game

Sic Bo uses three dice and you have to predict its outcome after they have been rolled. Usually, in other dice games, it is the player that rolls the dice. But this is a bit different in Sic Bo. Here, the dealer uses the so-called “dice shaker,” where the dice are placed. This oval-shaped platform vibrates in order to shake the three dice. Once done, it shall reveal the outcome.

The sic bo table

In order to win big in sic bo, you need to understand its table layout. One of the first things that you will notice is a row of numbers from 1 to 6. This is located at the bottom of the table. This row represents the number bets.

Meanwhile, in the middle portion, you will find images of two dice combinations. You will also see labels such as 1:6, 1:8 etc. Now, this is where you can place your pair bets.

Lastly, on the topmost part of the table, you will see labels such as small, big and any triple. When you place your bets there, it means that you are trying to predict the outcome of the three dice.

Indeed, if you look carefully, sic bo’s table layout is not that confusing at all. It is because, all the possible bets that you can make are already stated in the layout. This is in stark contrast to other table games where you need to check charts or guides.

Do you want to put your sic bo knowledge to a test? Join 12BET’s live tournament today! Experience the best of live sic bo, baccarat, blackjack and roulette in one click! Become one of our top players and bring home exciting rewards NOW.

Blackjack Myths: Fact Or Fiction?

Due to blackjack’s popularity, different myths have been spread about it. Usually, these are beliefs on how certain actions or behaviors can affect your game. But as the term “myths” imply, these beliefs do not really reflect the truth.

Blackjack myths

Blackjack is a game of luck
While luck is one of the most important ingredients to win in blackjack, this does not necessarily mean that luck alone will determine your winning chances. More than anything else, this game requires strategies, techniques and experience. Blackjack is where you put your wit and skills to the test. You need to study the game carefully and understand its rules in order to gain advantage.

Changing tables
Another persistent blackjack myth is that one should change their tables whenever they lose consistently. Again, it should be noted that blackjack requires skill. Experience likewise plays an important role. When changing tables, this implies that the dealer manipulates the game. Needless to say, this is not true.

Dealer affects the play
Speaking of the dealer, they are often believed to have direct influence over the game. As mentioned, this has no basis at all. The dealer is simply performing his or her job. They cannot manipulate the game for it is strictly prohibited. Even in online casinos, there is no way that dealers can influence the games.

Doubling the bets
It is very common for players to double their bets whenever they are on a losing streak. Evidently, this is not a good approach for this is a sure way to lose all your funds. Oftentimes, it is perceived that when a player doubles his bets, he can cover all his losses. Unfortunately, this will most likely happen only if the player has a big bank roll.

Changing cards
More often than not, players believe that a new deck of cards could increase their winning chances. This is most especially true if the game no longer works in their favor. But then again, this is nothing but pure myth and has no basis at all.

Myths are very common among card games. Blackjack is not an exempted from it. Yet, as mentioned, myths are not true at all. If there is any truth about it, these myths, by nature, are purely coincidental.

From Italy To France To The World Wide Web: Tracing Baccarat’s Roots

Tagged as the game of the so-called “gambling elite,” baccarat was initially perceived as the game exclusive to high rollers. As a matter of fact, private rooms were even allotted for baccarat aficionados who further sealed its reputation as the game of the rich and the famous.

However, as years go by, this stereotype slowly faded away. With the introduction of online casinos, more and more players, regardless of their social status, have enjoyed this particular game.

Baccarat’s origins
Through the years, heated debates have cropped up with regards to how baccarat started. This can be attributed to the fact that the term “baccarra” which means nothing or zero is present in the Italian and French vocabulary. It is because of this similarity that certain problems arose with regards to attributing baccarat’s humble origins.

Italy or France?

Despite of the arguments about baccarat’s beginnings, most of the contemporary historians agree on one thing—that the game, indeed, originated from Italy and was later on introduced in France by no other than Charles VIII.

How the game is played

Simplicity is perhaps one of the major reasons behind baccarat’s popularity, In order to win, the player simply needs to get a total of nine (9) points or closer. Usually, they are given two (2) to three (3) cards. The value of these cards should be added together until the desired value is reached. Cards from 2 to 9 retain their face value, whereas a different value is given to other cards. Face cards such as the queen, jack and king has no value at all. The same thing applies to the number 10 card. Ace, on the other hand, has a value of 1.


What if the total value is greater than 9?

Rookie players tend to be confused when it comes to determining the winners. This is most especially true if the total value of the cards exceeds 9. In this case, the player simply needs to subtract 10 from the whole value of the cards that they received. For example, a player who gets a  2 and a 9 literally gets a total value of 11. But in the game, 10 should be subtracted. Therefore, the player will only have a total value of 1.

Needless to say, the exclusivity that baccarat once enjoyed is no longer practiced and observed. As mentioned, more and more players are now enjoying this game. From Italy to France and now in the World Wide Web, baccarat is indeed, a worthy game to play.

Poker Takes The Online World By Storm

Poker’s fame did not end at brick and mortar casinos. Like a speed of light, it also took over the World Wide Web and reached even more players. When online casinos were introduced, it gave the players a new platform where they can enjoy poker.

1994—the evolution

Year 1994 is an important period not only in poker, but also in the whole online gambling industry. It was the year when Antigua, Bermuda implemented the Free Trade And Processing Zone Act. This act issued license to online casino operators.

The first online poker room

There have been debates on whether it was InterCasino or Planet Poker that first launched the online poker room in 1999. But if there was something really important that happened during this year, it was the increasing growth of online casinos that featured poker.

Enter Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker is a prominent poker figure. Likewise, it is because of him that online poker gained more attention. After winning in an online poker marathon, it secured him a seat in the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Much to the surprise of many, Moneymaker won in the tournament. He brought home a $300 million worth of prizes. Inspired by his story, the so-called “moneymaker effect” was coined to describe the unexpected rise of online poker players.

Online poker in Asia

Online poker’s growth is not limited to the western region. As a matter of fact, it has also reached the Asian territory. Studies and researches also show major developments in China and Vietnam. Actually, some of the most notable poker players such as Johnny Chan and Scotty Nguyen originated from those countries. While they are not online poker players, their presence is strong enough to trigger a growth of online poker players in the two regions.

Aside from China and Vietnam, a considerable growth can be also noticed in Thailand, Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Philippines.

Indeed, even the online world did not escape poker’s influence. The truth is, it even encouraged more players to join the poker bandwagon.
