There are a couple different types of progressive slot machines in a land based casino. All land-based casinos, and most online casinos, feature several types of progressive slots.

Individual Progressives: This type of slot machine is self-contained, it doesn't receive any jackpot contributions from other jackpot / progressive machines.

Linked Progressives: Linked progressive are groups or machines that are tied into each other. All contribute to one common jackpot.

Multi-Location: Multi-Location progressives are the ones that people dream about. These consist of banks of several hundred machines located in many different casinos that all contribute to one giant pot of gold. Your odds of winning those millions are about the same as your odds are for winning the lottery. But then again someone always wins.

Make sure to always play maximum coins on progressive games. You'd never forgive yourself if you missed out on collecting a top jackpot because you didn't bet the maximum number of coins. If you want to play one coin at a time in order to stretch your playing session, don’t choose a progressive slot. Playing progressive machines means you have to bet maximum coins every spin.

Take advantage of the *play for free* feature. All online casinos have it and you should always play at the casino with your free money account - to see if the casino is in your liking, and get a general feel of the casino game play.

Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions.

1.Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
2.Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
3.Did gambling affect your reputation?
4.Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
5.Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
6.Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency? 7.After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
8.After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
9.Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
10.Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
11.Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
12.Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
13.Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
14.Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
15.Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
16.Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
17.Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
18.Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
19.Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
20.Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?

Some times people think they may have a problem and after they read the questions they realize that they do. If you or someone you love has a problem there are resources available no matter where you live!!

When it becomes more than a game it is time to get help. There are many resources where a player can find help.

Why people prefer to play at an Online Casino rather then at one of the Land based Casinos to do their gambling.

That's why:

1) At an Online Casino there is never a problem finding a place to park your car. 😁

2) At an Online casino there is no need to get dressed up. :thumbsup

3) Playing at one of the best online casinos you do not have to worry about dropping your chips on the floor and having someone else pick it up and run away, or have it roll under a machine.

4) Online Casinos don’t sell a small hotdog for 3 dollars.

5) At an Online Casino you do not have to use a public restroom.

6) At an Online Casino you never have to wait for a seat at one of the table games.

7) At an Online Casino you never have to worry about who was the last person to use this machine or if they washed their hands after using the restroom.

8) If you are playing in an Online Casino and your wife or lover brings you a drink there is no need to tip, and the drink is not watered down.

9) With the price of gas so high recently who can afford a long drive to the casino.

10) You do not need to drive or do anything other then log on to the internet to be able to play.

Online gambling is a lot of fun and believe it or not people do win lots of money everyday playing at Online Casinos.

Excellent points!

Maybe we could have a spouse or friend bring beverages, too. That way we'd feel like we were being "comped." :dance:

For me, the mere fact that I do not have to travel or make playing an "event" is the reason why I significantly prefer online gaming

RIP Merv. I remember his TV show. In particular, there was a show that invested a full half hour to the old Rubik's Cube when it came out

Donald Trump wrote to Mayor Bob Levy and City Council President William Marsh on Wednesday calling on the city to repeal a partial casino smoking ban that he claims is scaring away business. In his two-page letter, Trump said gamblers are fleeing Atlantic City en masse for competing casinos in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut that don’t have smoking restrictions.

How does Trump expect to be taken seriously in something like this after he's made a fool of himself time and time again with the Rosie O'Donnell feud and rolling around that wrestling ring?

As for the smoking ban, I agree with it in all public places. Second hand smoke causes cancer.

Personally, I am a big proponnent of the casino smoking ban because there is nothing more irritating than walking into a casino that is flooded with smoke. It feels like the trenches in World War One
