Infinite Fortune

Today a new table game comes out at Adelaide Casino called Infinite Fortune. The game is extremely simple to learn and play, so I thought I’d share it with you, and teach you how to play this relatively simple game.

Infinite Fortune is dealt like Casino War, in that each player receives one card only. The dealer however does not, as the aim of the game is to guess what your card is going to be. There are three things you can bet on:

  • High – Wins when your card is between 9 and Ace (In this game, Ace is high only).
  • Low – Wins when your card is card between 2 and 7.
  • Dragon 8 – Wins when you get an 8.

It’s that simple; you aren’t playing against anyone else, there are no side bets, nothing. High and Low bets will pay even money, while Dragon 8 pays 11 to 1.

Infinite Fortune is good if you’re new to Casinos and gambling, but otherwise there is more enjoyment to be had in games like Blackjack or Roulette.

The secret to winning EVERYTHING FOREVER

by ZombieSkittles on May 10, 2010

Pointed in the direction of this supposedly newsworthy article1, I decided that I too could write an insightful post detailing how you could win in a game of chance. I’ve decided to tackle Roulette, though I guess this could apply to any game.

For those who don’t know, Roulette is a game in which you guess what number on a spinning wheel that a small ball will land in. It’s an interesting often busy game, and has lots of different bets you can make, from guessing the specific number, to guessing if it will be an odd or even number.

We’re going to focus on the bets for black and red numbers. The odds for the game’s various bets are easy to work out; there are 18 black numbers, 18 red numbers, and zero (which isn’t either colour). Because zero isn’t either colour, this means there isn’t a 50/50 chance to pick the right one, as many people tend to believe. Instead, the odds of successfully picking red or black is 48.65%.
I also want to throw out there for anyone who does play the game and keeps track of what numbers come up because “17 hasn’t come up in ages”, or “there’s been 10 black numbers, surely the next one has to be red!”, that all spins are independent of each other. It could be red 69 times in a row, but on the 70th spin, there is still exactly a 48.65% chance of it coming up either colour.

Enough, how do I win already?

Oh yes! I did tell you that I was going to tell you how to guarantee winning in this and effectively any other game of chance, didn’t I? Well, listen close I’m not going to repeat this:

Bet on the winning colour.

Ingenious right? If you bet on the correct colour, you’re guaranteed to win. Sure you might need some sort of psychic power, or a ton of luck, but it’s guaranteed that you’ll win if you place it on the winning spot. The same goes for Big Wheel, Baccarat, Sic Bo, and even craps. Put the bet in the correct place and there is no end to how much you can win. There are people who would try to have this post taken down as the information is too good to let the general public know about. However, I feel that I need to get this information out to all nine of my readers2 so that you can take advantage of this strategy.

All out of luck

by ZombieSkittles on July 16, 2009

I’m taking a break from writing a particularly difficult journal entry to write this blog post.

I know everyone has experiences where you say to yourself “That’s a bit of luck” or “That’s unlucky”. It happens to everyone several times a day, particularly the people I see at the Casino…where the whole reason people are there is to try their luck.
Now, I find this doesn’t happen so simply with me. I seem to experience luck in solid blocks rather than scattered randomly, almost as if there was nothing lucky about it. I’ll have a period where EVERYTHING works out, I get everything I aim for, and everything seems to fall in my lap. It’ll last weeks or months. Then, without noticing, it turns. Things start going wrong where it should be straightforward, things are happening that never used to, and it really gets to me. Lately things have taken that bad turn they so often do. Things go bad where I’m involved, and I can’t seem to stop it. I suspect part of it is my perception of events, but it seems too weird for my liking.

I know you’re probably reading this thinking I’m overreacting, and for all I know I am, but at the same time I’m a little concerned. It’s happened a few times before, and each time it’s really affected me. I’m really wondering if anyone else has similar experiences to what I have?
