Welcome to day 2 of the Tower Gaming Casino Blog. We had an excellent start to the casino blog in day one, as we more then doubled our initial balance of $100, ending the day with $424.22.
Let’s head into Day 2 of our journey at Tower Gaming Casino…
First of all, to check the wagering requirements we just have to log into the website and it is updated in real time. It’s right under my account, and lets you know the bonus you have activated and the amount left to wager. I’ve got $5981.30 left of a $6000 wagering requirement.
One thing I also like is Tower Gaming runs a variety of freeroll casino tournaments. They have the Radical Reels slot tournament, the Wild Card Video Poker Tournament and even the Casino Hold Em tournament. You can sign up for free to play these tournaments by clicking here.
We’re going to try the Mega Joker slot machine today. This is a classic 5-line slot machine, which reminds me of of the good old days in a pub. Here’s the image of it:
We will of course be playing the maximum bet(which will be $2 per spin) as that is the best slots strategy. Two spins in and we pick up a decent win:
This slot is really cool. It features a variety of different modes including basic mode, supermeter mode and of course has a progressive jackpot.
We pick up quite a few more wins like this one:
Then a nice 60 credit win here:
Alas we don’t win anything in supermeter mode. FYi supermeter mode is unlocked after you win on a spin, and it’s the top area which is where you can win the big money. Really cool concept – don’t think I have ever played a slot like that before – it’s a really nice bonus game.
A few spins later we get a nice 100 credit win thanks to the Supermeter:
Unfortunately we don’t pick up any more wins, so with $350.22 left we’ll try somewhere else.
I decide to try out Baccarat Pro – I’ve never actually played Baccarat before, but with the aid of this Baccarat Rules website, I’m willing to give it a try!
Tower Casinos Baccarat game is entitled Baccarat Pro. It’s really slick software, this is how it looks:
You click on the chip amount you want to bet, then bet it wherever you choose. It’s really fast and smooth. I start off with a $5 bet, bet on the Player and win right off the bat:
Great start, and what I really like about the software is (1) it allows you to rebet with ease, and (2) it keeps track of the previous hands played, and the exact scores.
We get a nice big win when I double my bet to $10 and hit a 9:
I should also mention they have three different versions of Baccarat. You can play low roller, medium roller or high roller. The high stakes Baccarat game is where you can bet a minimum of $10, and a maximum of $1000. Yikes, that’s a hell of a lot.
I’ll be honest – not a big fan of Baccarat. I play it for a bit but it doesn’t really hook me – I much prefer games like Blackjack or Video Poker where I actually feel like I am in control of my destiny. However if you are a Baccarat player the software is really slick and fast – click here to check it out.
I decide to finish off the day with some Deuces Wild 25 Hand Video Poker. That’s right – I said 25 hand. This is how it looks:
The great thing is – they have very low minimum stakes – $0.02 coin value – so even though you are playing 25 hands, you can be playing as low as $0.50 per hand! Actually I just checked and you can even set a coin value of one cent – that’s sick, meaning you can play $0.25 per round of 25 hands of Video Poker. Very impressive, and great that they accommodate the penny video poker players like that.
You also have a bet level of up to 5 – and that’s where you want to be betting obviously, because then you can get the best odds, and it decreases the house edge.
I decide to bet $0.05 per hand, which is $6.25 per round of betting. Sounds good to me. Natural Royal Flush please dealer! (4000 payout):
I never know what is optimal in these situations. Do I hold onto the 
, 
and 
aiming for a straight flush? With a payout of 45 that doesn’t seem right. I choose to draw, and pick up some three of a kinds, four of a kinds and a full house. I win 50, alas I bet 125 so that was a loser.
The next hand is a winner though as I pick up a joker and a pair of threes which gives me a win of almost double my bet:
I then decide to up my bet to $12.50 a hand, and pick up a great one as I get two jokers, and manage to hit a Royal Straight Flush:
Then a few hands later I pick up a natural flush, which gets me 25×15 payout for 375 credits.
I pick up a huge win a few hands later, as I get two jokers, the ten of clubs and the queen of clubs. I also got the king of diamonds for a straight, but I changed that and managed to get myself two royal straight flushes:
Well that was a lot of fun, and a good way to go out. I’ll be back later in the week with the 3rd blog.
Don’t forget those freeroll casino tournaments – click here to play at Tower Casino.
