Casino

Bodog casino is a very slick looking down-loadable Real Time Gaming casino. However, there is also a lot going on at their web site as well. There are poker instructional videos  every night by world champion poker players and many videos explaining how to play poker, video poker, how to play at Bodog and many more.  Bogdog RTG Casino claims to offer millions in guaranteed tournaments and the promotions and bonuses are quite extensive. Bogdog casino bonuses range from 110% signup bonuses to referral bonuses.

Bodog casino even has a couple of its own exclusive games, Dry Martini and Mystic shuffle. Of the two, I only played Mystic Shuffle but it was a ton of fun. No wonder this is the most popular casino on line.  You can play games on line as well as the downloaded game and mobile games.  The online games are fast and load right up. In addition to the casino games, the web site also offers sports and horse betting.  Because of the time zones, you can bet on Aussie races, making your racing day almost 24 hours long.  The sports betting site allows bets on everything from basketball to darts. This is  a very comprehensive site for all your betting desires.

The downloaded games are so attractive it is hard to stop playing, which, I assume is the whole point. The craps table is the same as other games but for some reason it just looked a whole lot better to me. The blackjack is lightening fast. You could play at record speed if you wanted. The Keno game is nice and bright just like all the screens are. The Bonus Bingo game is clear, easy to understand with payouts  for winning card designs clearly displayed. And Bodog Casino  gives $50,000 in play money which is  more play money than any casino I have ever seen. You have enough to get very proficient at every game before you start playing for real money.

Just who are some of the biggest casino winners in Vegas? The answer might surprise you. It’s not the professional poker players or the people that are paying the $100 slots that are winning big. It is people just like you and me that are just keeping the seat warm and taking a chance on the slots. The biggest winners on record are all winners of the Megabucks jackpot. The jackpot starts at $7 million and goes up from there until there is a mega winner.

For one lucky man, lightning or rather a jackpot has struck twice. At the age of 92, Elmer Sherwin won his second Megabucks jackpot. Mr. Sherwin won $21 million almost 16 years after his initial win of 4.6 million in the same jackpot game. Both of Mr. Sherwin’s jackpots were won in Las Vegas and were part of the Megabucks network of progressive slot machines. He will receive his winnings in annual installments but said that he had plans to donate his winnings to victims of Hurricane Katrina. His first jackpot win had allowed him to travel the world, now he wanted to give back.

Another big winner was Amy Nishimura from Hawaii. At 71, Ms. Nishimura was visiting Las Vegas on vacation and hit the $8.9 million Megabucks jackpot at the Freemont hotel after spending about $100 on the slots. Ms. Nishimura was another winner of the Megabucks network that is linked to over 150 casinos across Nevada. More players mean a higher payout for the lucky winners. She said that she had had dreams about her win before she hit the jackpot.

The largest jackpot ever won in Vegas was $39.7 million and was won in March of 2003 at the Excalibur casino. The lucky winner was a 25-year-old man from Los Angeles that turned a $100 stint at the slots into the biggest win ever recorded. The instantly wealthy man was visiting Vegas for the NCAA basketball tournaments and just sat down at the slot machine to play for a while. He walked away with a whopping 1.5 million dollar payout for the next 25 years.

While we can all dream, the big winners are all just like you and me. They decided to sit down and take a chance and lady luck was on their side. As Mr. Sherwin has proven, lady luck doesn’t always only strike once.
