Trying PartyCasino Out

I enjoy the occasional gamble. A couple of bucks on my favorite team during the playoffs or a trip to the local poker room is always nice. I even play the lottery every time the jackpot goes out of this world. Never did try online betting though, always thought it was something for the pros, something different about not being able to hold your chips or smell the money. Also, I really can’t imagine playing poker without trying to read someone or faking tells. That’s half the fun.

Didn’t feel like going out and I was bored after playing Xbox so I decided to try poker for fun. Scoured the forums and eventually decided to try my luck playing at PartyCasino.com UK. I looked at their games and expected little beyond poker and slots so I was surprised at what I found. They have quite a lot of game.

They have poker, slots, roulette and black jack but those are all given. I figure you really can’t call yourself a casino without those staples. Their games don’t stop at the basic stuff. The have all kinds of poker from Texas hold’em to three card and there are many themes for the slots and other games. Who knows, maybe people feel luckier when playing Spiderman, Hulk or Thor slots. There are also a couple of games that look interesting but I’ve never heard about like Paigow Poker and Red Dog – interesting, but not exactly “bet my money on it” interesting.

About the “bet my money on it” interesting part. They have something that really caught my eye. They have Bejeweled! I kid you not, they have Bejeweled! Yes, that same game you have on your laptop, iPad and iPhone. Think you’re good at it? Wanna bet on it?

Happy 35th, Mr. 2600

It’s really hard to imagine that the video gaming industry is so, well, old. Sure I knew my dad used to play video games and well, he is old. But, putting into perspective that the Atari 2600 is three and a half decades old is is another thing.

The Atari 2600 marks it’s birthday today, exactly 35 years since it’s launch back in 1977.
