Poker is a huge world to dive into, and we can’t do it justice on just a segment of a page like this. I’m going to try to just give you a broad introduction to the ways in which you can make your living at it, and point you in the right directions for further…

This is a genre of games that has been big in certain Asian countries since the mid-2000s but hasn’t been seen on any Western casino floors as of yet … however they apparently are available at either “grey market” or outright illegal underground arcades in the United States. Hawaii, California and Denver seem to be…

Developer: Gamblit Not to be confused with Pac-Man Cash Chase, also from Gamblit but a single-player gambling game. It’s competitive Pac-Man for money, using the Pac-Man Battle Royale arcade game as its base. You score points like traditional Pac-Man, eat up pellets and fruit and scared ghosts. When you get a power pellet you grow,…

Developer: Gamblit This is also by Gamblit, and is similar to Gamblit Poker (in spite of the nautical theme). It switches that core formula up by adding elements that are similar to a dice game. Each hand starts with a “point” being established by adding up the values of three cards off the top of…

Developer: Gamblit At least two players (max four) are required. Each player gets one card to start the game. New cards come out of the deck one at a time, and the first player to pound their red button (hehe) gets that card. As soon as any player has three cards in their hand, only…

It’s worth noting here because it’s a very neat idea,…

Developer: IGT These two pinball-themed slots are based on two classic slot properties from IGT that have been around for years and that are known for low volatility. You play a normal five-reel video slot, the pinball bonus round is triggered when you land three of a certain scatter symbol on any given spin. You…

Developer: IGT Race Ace was first shown at a gaming expo a few years ago, and at the time it was offering a bonus round that was a full-fledged Mario Kart clone with a joystick for steering, weapons pickups and everything. I’ve also seen a version around that has no steering, you simply pick a…

Developer: Bally / Scientific One of the first big arcade hits is the intellectual property of Bally, now primarily a casino gaming company. You play a fairly standard video slot that has a bet range of 50 cents to 2.50 per spin. As you spin you’ll collect “laser shots”, and you get to play the…
