MY ADVENTURE AT win4real CASINO

For some time now, I have requested a tour of one of my favorite online casinos and since the recent upgrade of version 3.3.1 of win4real's software, I got the opportunity.

As expected, the graphics are rich and colorful with a wide selection of games for any casino player. I thank the creators for user-friendly software and multi casino sounds to add to this adventure.

For those of you, like me, who may not be familiar with some of these offerings, a brief explanation of the rules follows:

Battle Royale: Once your ante is place, you and the dealer each receive one card face up.

The high card wins and if you tie, you can surrender or 'Go to Battle' and have a chance at 3-1 odds. This game is not only played at warp speed, but it will bring back memories of 'War' as a kid. I almost forgot that I was 'on a mission' and had to move on, but it was with some reluctance considering I took away a couple of hundred bucks.

Free Ride: is based is on Stud poker. You are dealt three cards, if you stay and raise, you receive a 4th card. If you continue, you raise a third time and then if your fifth card ranks a pair of 10's or better, you are a winner. A separate progressive jackpot sat at more than $10,000 when I played. I say, “Take that free ride”.

Bermuda Poker: Pits the player vs. the dealer and you are paid according to the Poker hand rank. The separate progressive bet was at a whopping $150,000+ during my stay.

The Dealer's hand is dealt 4 cards down and the fifth up and must qualify with an Ace, King or higher to produce a winner.

Red Dog: is also known as Acey Deucy or Between the Sheets. Two cards are dealt and you wager on whether the third card will be between the first two. The tighter the spread, the more you win. Another fast-paced experience.

Blackjack: Some casino standards with this popular game begin with 'Dealer stands on 17 and must draw to 16'. In addition, the player can split all pairs and double your bet on the best of hands.

In fact, this game brought my bankroll and me back to life. Playing here and there in the casino had depleted my original generous bankroll of $5000 downward to $3400 but several blackjacks and some progressive betting put me back on track and up a grand.

Anyone who has read my columns, knows that the 'slots are always callin', so I was off to hunt down the machines.

Three Video Poker versions of Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better and Jokers Wild were waiting just for me.

Deuces presented an acceptable 13/4 pay schedule doling out 65 coins for a straight flush plus a Wild Royal (known as a Dirty Royal) netted 150 coins while 4000 coins was the win for a Royal Flush.

Both Jacks or Better and Jokers wowed this adventurer with a 5000 coin treat for Royalty.

Jacks or Better rewarded two pairs with 10 for a max coin bet and a Joker popped up in front of my eyes to give me a K-9 straight flush.

Next, three slot choices, beginning with the 'Hot Rod' version where three Gold Cups receive the top jackpot of 6000 coins, while the tires line up at the bottom to more than return your bet at 6 coins. Toss in racing flags, engine parts that pay and you are revving to go.

Tropical Slot winners are three gold coins at the top followed by a nice payout for three palm trees. The rest of the symbols form a pleasing fruit cocktail of oranges, apples, lemons and the ever-present cherry to keep you 'in the bonus cash'. This is a progressive version.

My favorite version is the Sunken Treasure slot which is an undersea escapade accompanied by sea creatures swimming by and soothing music. Three Chests of Gold produce a win and I promise three gold coins will put a smile on your face. Lining up three blue coins will also keep you in the game.

Player selections also include a Racebook and Sportsbook to explore and win4real is rightly proud of these offerings.

Lastly, I recommend that you get hold of your own copy of win4real casino software and get in on the fun too.

For now, I gotta run, I'm going back to Video Poker for that quad that I so richly deserve.
