Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
One-stop shopping
Bodog offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.
But Bodog doesn't just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything's integrated. It's easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.
Another nice thing about Bodog is that you don't need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bodog usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors' usernames are extremely long and cumbersome. (Visit Bodog)

One click and you're in:
 No popups, no download, no registration, no B.S., just the game.

 Bonus Bowling
Last update: December 7, 2005
Introduction
Bonus Bowling is a game found at Internet casinos using Playtech software. The game can be found under the Arcade Games menu. This is a simple game of luck in which the player bets on the outcome of a clearly bad bowler, one frame at a time. A more detailed explanation follows.

Rules
As in slots or video poker once a wager is made it is never returned. So all pays indicated are on a "for one" basis.
The player has five betting choices on the next frame of bowling: 0-3 total, 4-6 total, 7-9 total, spare, and strike. The player may bet any number of these and in different amounts.
Following are probabilities of each outcome.
- Strike: 3.4%
- Spare: 8.56%
- 7 to 9: 17.04%
- 4 to 6: 28.4%
- 0 to 3: 42.6%
One frame out of three be a "Golden Frame." If the player throws a strike in a Golden Frame (regardless of what he bet on) he will win a bonus of ten times his bet.
In the screenshot above I bet $5 on a strike and also had a golden frame. So my total win was $5*25 + $5*10 = $175.
