Reason #3 why the Wizard likes Bovada:
Excellent Odds
In my opinion many online casinos are too stingy when setting the odds on their games. They think they will make more money that way but I believe they are misguided, because when players lose too quickly it’s not fun, and those players might not come back.
Bovada is one of the few casinos that understands this. They offer generous odds to let you play longer and get you a better chance of winning. Among their generous offerings are Full-Pay Jacks or Better returning 99.54%, six other video poker games paying over 99%, single-zero roulette, and my favorite, Pick ’em Poker, returning 99.95%!
Kudos to Bovada for not being afraid to give their players a good gamble.

Global Gaming
Expo
I am back from the Global Interactive Gaming Summit and
Expo in Montreal. A nice client of mine gave me first
class upgrades on United Airlines. Considering I was
flying first class I was rather disappointed. The food
seemed like the same quality you would expect in
coach. Compared to the first class service I got on
Delta from New York to Nice last year United was not even
close. There was also no first class lounge for me to
kill three hours while laying over in Chicago.
The hotel I stayed at was the Travelodge. Although
there was a screw up with the reservations I made through
hotels.com the location was great and the price averaging
$106 US was reasonable. The rooms are small and simple
but for one person you don't need much more.
This was the first major Internet gaming show I attended
in three years so it was fun seeing all the old faces
again. As usual I enjoyed the restaurants, casino, and
golf with other industry people including from Winner
Online, Casino Meister, and Got2Bet. Bryan Bailey of
Casino Meister has a nice write up about the trip on
his
newsletter. Bryan also posted
photos. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the
one of me. It was taken at a very loud party thrown by
the Gambling Federation and in the interests of not losing
my hearing I covered my ears.
The big event of the week was winning a 5-day Caribbean
Cruise from Casino
Pays in a drawing. I haven't actually
received it yet but look forward to getting some tickets in
my hand. My next vacation is a family trip to the
big island of Hawaii in July.

I'll
be honest: My site doesn't have the incredible level of
detail on the games that the Wizard offers. But I do offer
some useful and unique content, such as:
- A list of super-cheap Vegas hotels
- A rundown of all the roller coasters and thrill rides
in Vegas
- A Crash Course in Gambling
- My Half-Bankroll betting system
- A guide to Cheap Airfares
And unlike most other gambling sites, there are NO popup
windows, no blinking banners, and barely any advertising,
period. Everything's free so I hope you'll check it out!
