Why It’s Better to Deposit Money Than to Play with No Deposit Bonuses

Onisac Gnitteb

The online gambling scene is more vibrant than ever before. Fast internet connection, adoption of new technologies such as blockchain, and an increase in the number of Australian people who prefer playing Poker, Roulette, and other online games are fueling the growth. As John Gold from BetPokies says, despite the vast market, the competition for users is cutthroat among casinos. The casinos are left with no option but to use incentives to draw in new users and encourage the existing ones to take part in the different games. No Deposit Bonuses Essentials One of the incentives that they use is the no deposit bonus. As the name suggests, this bonus allows new users to play any or specific games hosted on the casino without first depositing real money into their account. You can get free spins on pokies without first depositing any money into your account. Usually, a no deposit…

Onisac Gnitteb

Windows is known for its popular games that were presented even on the earliest versions. These card and board games gained huge popularity and even nowadays people spend lots of time playing them. No matter their simple design, they captured a great audience. Let’s discover the fascinating solitaire history and interesting details about Minesweeper. The breakthrough of a single-player card game The traditional Solitaire and FreeCell Solitaire was popular in Europe since that time when the possibility of long journeys appeared. After a few centuries, it was adapted for the computers due to the following reasons: Until 2021, this game was the most used Windows application and became the usual part of a daily routine of office workers.

Why Fallen Order is So Great

Soeren Kamper

Before Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was first released in 2019, Star Wars fans were crying out for a game that hearkened back to the old era of Star Wars games when the likes of Battlefront and The Force Unleashed were popular. Star Wars fans did already have the rebooted Battlefront series to work with which were admittedly good, but they still did not have a game that embodied the series and told a good story like the original The Force Unleashed did. Enter Fallen Order. The announcement of this game drove Star Wars fans wild, and fortunately, the reception of it was just as positive. The gaming community has learned to keep expectations in check in recent years, as no one knows what a game will truly be like until they play it for themselves. Gamers were especially wary as EA were the publishers of the game, and although…

Why is the Esports industry so popular?

Onisac Gnitteb

Year on year the Esports industry seemingly grows every year, whether that’s with larger numbers of viewers, bigger prize pools, or even as far as more well known names entering the scene with sponsorships and investment into teams etc. So that begs the question? Why is it so popular and why is it continuing to rise in popularity? Well, there’s only one way to find out, right? Well, the short answer is kinda grim but here we go, the older generation is dying out and the younger generation coming through is replacing them. The younger generation is massively into video games of course, while the older generations who may have grown alongside video games, may not be as into them, or simply can’t play anymore. When it comes to watching anything competitive, it feels like the older generation always defaults to traditional sports however, which I feel was shown when…

Onisac Gnitteb

Playing video games is now possible to do as a job. Rewind to a mere twenty years ago, and that statement would have sounded ludicrous. Any child that uttered any notion of doing it as a paid job would be met with amusement. Today though, those dreams are a reality, and it is easy for people who are in love with gaming to turn their passion into a full-time job. The most skilled players can compete in massive virtual tournaments that offer staggering prize pools, but only the best of the best can win high amounts of money.

Games Inspired by Star Wars

Onisac Gnitteb

Perhaps in a galaxy far far away, hidden underneath the layers of the universe in our reality can one get to actually go through the Jedi Academy like the one seen in the Star Wars franchise. Imagine the sound of a lightsaber as you wield it, trying to maintain the balance throughout the galactic empires without falling into the seductive allure of the dark side. It’s a fantasy that plenty face, regardless of their age or gender. The universe seen in Star Wars is simply one that plenty adores, from the empathetic cast to the unique scenery that Star Wars popularized. There’s no harm in dreaming of the what-ifs in a distant alternate universe, but if you really want to get immersed into it, then here’s a few games we’ve found that are inspired by Star Wars.

Canadian Casinos – Customs, Cats and Croupiers

Onisac Gnitteb

Covid Crisis For Canada’s bricks and mortar casinos, 2020 was a write-off and 2021 has not got off to the best start either.  Land-based casinos have suffered badly, losing millions of $$$s in revenue, not to mention thousands of clients, to the ever-growing list of online casino alternatives. For many punters, online casinos are really not the same thing at all and you are undoubtedly counting down the days until a visit is possible again.  However, if you simply can’t wait for a fix and decide to opt for a virtual game or two, make sure that you proceed with caution – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! The fact is that not all online casinos are equal.  Some are amazing, many are mediocre and others are out and out scams; but how do you tell the difference?  If you need help seeking an amazing…

Betting on Rancor Fights in SWTOR

Soeren Kamper

We’ve talked about betting and gambling in Star Wars before. It was present in the movies and in one way or another, it’s mentioned or referenced in most of the lore. What if you could bet on rancor fights in SWTOR like we see in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II trailer? Honestly, it makes sense to think in terms of the Star Wars Universe. As you may recall, Jabba the Hutt kept a rancor in a dark chamber below his throne room. When Skywalker killed it, Jabba was outraged and ordered the Jedi and his friends to be publicly executed. Think of it like a high roller losing his favorite race horse. No one would be happy about that. Rancors or the bull rancor have often been part of many Star Wars games, too, often written into mini bosses or even main bosses. The look sometimes changes but…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Developer Interview Digs Into Decision of Going the Single-Player Route

Editor

A single-player, narrative-based Star Wars title has been a rarity in the gaming industry for the better part of 10 years now. The last true story-drive game within the franchise prior to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II which made its debut in 2008. The announcement of a new single-player title in the Star Wars universe was a surprise on its own. Combine that with the fact that it’s being published by none other than EA and you’d probably think the news were a farce had we not gotten a concrete launch date, trailers, and more at this point. Electronic Arts isn’t exactly known for having a great public image with gamers these days. Plus, they’re notorious for putting out nothing but multiplayer titles riddled with microtransactions (up until Battlefront 2, at least). So, what made EA of all publishers decide to take up…
