Hollywood Boulevard Review
Hollywood Boulevard is a slots game present on a number of online casinos. The game itself gives players a chance to delve into the lives of the Hollywood rich and famous. This is your chance to stand on the red carpet, be in the spotlight and wait for the paparazzi to take your million dollar photo.
Hollywood Boulevard is a 5-reel, 20-line slot machine game with several bonus features, such as a Progress Jackpot, Free Rounds, Wild and Scatter Symbols.
All symbols used in Hollywood Boulevard come straight from the red carpet itself. During your fame, you will encounter Hollywood stars, beautiful actors, stretched limousines and clapperboards during this fun slots game. High value cards are written on California license plates. The reels are encased in film and the sound of the movie reels unfolding in a classic light bulb project accompanies every spin.
The symbols pay Left to Right. To obtain a winning combination you are required to match at least 2 symbols. The value depends on what symbols you have on the valid paylines. The minimum stake per line is 5p, with a maximum of £2.
This maximum stake of £2 allows the player to win the full Progressive Jackpot value of £650,000 by matching 5 Star symbols on any selected payline. Now those earnings will really put you amongst some celebrities!
A lower bet will pay a percentage. For example, for a 30p bet per line the Jackpot reaches £98,000. The Star symbol is also the Wild symbol which can substitute for all other symbols except for the Paparazzi.
To activate the Free Round at least 3 Paparazzi symbols must be scattered amongst the reels. The number of Free Spins won depends on how many triggering symbols have occurred in one game. Players receive 10 free spins for 3 symbols, 15 free spins for 4 symbols and 20 free spins for 5 symbols. The feature can not be retriggered and any Paparazzi symbols that occur during the Free Round will pay only their pay table value.
Take a stroll down the Walk of Fame in search of that great Jackpot that is out there. Obtaining this might get you one step closer to earning you a star on the famous Hollywood Boulevard!
A Roulette System That Works (Page 1 of 2)
I saw a roulette system advertised on television one night. What a joke! It was nothing more than a money management system. It isn’t a bad idea to manage your bets and your bankroll when you gamble, but if that is all you are doing, you just slow your losses or rearrange them. After ten years working in a casino and running a roulette table, I can tell you that money management systems do not make you a profit in the long run.
There is a roulette system that works, however. It takes some careful planning and a fair amount of work. In fact, you may have to spend days or even weeks tediously “charting” roulette wheels, which means writing down the numbers that come up on each spin.
This work is boring, which explains why not many people are willing to use this system. That’s a good thing, by the way. Any system that is is too easy will be over-used, and so stopped by the casinos. For example, while working at a casino, I watched a man make $80,000 over a period of months using this simple system, and management didn’t seem to care. Laziness, I guess, or they were making enough money on the other players to lose a few thousand back to this man every month.
On the other hand, after I quit my job and came in to gamble, the wheels were repaired and re-calibrated to eliminate any bias. More than one regular winner apparently would have been too much for them. You can see why systems which are more difficult and therefore less-used can work for a longer time, and why you should keep a low profile and not tell others what you are doing.
A Better Roulette System
Here is the system: Write down the results of 5,000 spins. See if there are any numbers that came up more than 151 times. If so, start betting on that number every spin. If not, try another wheel. That’s pretty much the whole plan.
Here is why it works. Roulette wheels sometimes have biases, meaning a number or numbers come up more often that they should by chance. Sometimes a number is spun frequently enough to make money. If 18 is showing up one in 30 spins, for example, and you bet $10 on it each time, you get paid 35 to one when it hits, plus you keep your $10 bet.
You would win $350 once for every 30 spins, on average, and lose $290 on the other 29 $10-bets. This would result in a profit of $60 for every 30 spins, or about $80-per-hour on a “fast” table (40 spins per hour). It is boring betting the same number every time, and a good “average” doesn’t mean you won’t have nights where you lose hundreds of dollars. I saw that gentleman who won $80,000 lose $500 some nights, but he stuck with it and made his money.
It is important that the bias is great enough. This particular player would play number only if it was coming up 1-in-33 spins or more often (151 out of 5,000 spins). His best number on one wheel came up once in every 29 spins, making him as much as $100 per hour for his time, depending on the pace of the game each night (with a $10 bet each time).
