It's not just your dream; it's the American Dream. You waltz into a casino, fumble around for a quarter, drop it in the first slot you see and moments later the bells and sirens are informing everyone you have just won the jackpot!

It's a nice dream but in the real world, it rarely happens. Take a look at how you can make slots pay off for you in the real world of online gaming.

It's a strategy called “Hit and Run” and yes, it's been around for sometime, but few possess the discipline to make it work. Many people don't even think about using it online, but try using the concept and you may see more cash coming into your pocket rather than going overseas!

For example, you start out with a bankroll of $100. When you are up 10%, move on to the next online casino. Start with the same $100 and when you are up 10%, move on to the next. Do you see how this works? You are willing to sacrifice the chance of the main jackpot but are willing to take small gains.

It may not have as much appeal as hitting a jackpot, but you'll enjoy the feeling of being a winner for the rest of the day.

When you are up by $50 to $100 then quit. Why? After awhile you will grow tired of the repetition and even though you won't mean to, greed will set in and all of your hard work to earn that $50.00 -$100.00 will disappear and the casinos will take it back with a grin!

While on your first date, be a little careful about what all topics you talk about. There are a few things to keep in mind on such occasions and some very important ones to make sure you refrain from discussing. There's a very fine line to be aware of and breaking any of these rules can result in a date gone bad.

Use this occasion to explore your date and get to know more about the person without intruding upon their personal turf and making them feel uncomfortable. This is not about dominating a conversation and having your say, but more about being an equal and showing genuine curiosity in your date.

If your date were to ask about yourself, do answer the question with straight answer. Keep the conversation easy and flowing by asking some question on a subject of common interest. Always be engaged into the conversation and be mentally present.

One doesn't talk about topics like politics or crime on your first date. This is not done.

Of course you can talk about politics or any other subject if it so happens that both of you share the same common interest and then it helps you interact better and the conversation flows.

If you end up talking about politics and hold different view points, then avoid conflict of interest and change the topic.

The other topic you should keep away from on your first date is Religion.

Unless you find out before going on your date, that both of you are on the same side as far as your religions go and there is no controversy of opinions, religion is not a safe topic for discussion.

In case you do end up talking, it could get into an argument and build divides. Instead of spoiling your date, keep this discussion for the future until you get to know the other person better.

Dating can be a dilemma at times. You know that what you want to do is to attract more women, and be seen as the kind of guy that they want to date. You also know that you do not want to be put in the friends category with a woman. Well, then you go and do what you think will make her want to date you and… you end up right in the friends category, right where you did NOT want to be.

Here are 3 tips on how to make women want to date you:

1. If you want to be the one that she wants to date, then you need to be a little more straight forward.

Most guys think that they are doing the “right” thing by acting like they are not really trying to get a date with a woman. They think that the more friendly they appear, she will just naturally want to date them. Well, that is more likely to get her thinking of you as being just a friend than anything else. If you want to get a date with her, you have to be straight forward and not tip toe around the fact that you are not trying to be her friend.

2. You need to approach her with confidence.

When approaching a woman, you have to keep in mind that she will be making a judgement of you right away. She can't help it, it's the way that people are, including women. If when you approach her, she gets the sense that you totally lack confidence in yourself, then she is naturally going to feel a lot LESS attraction towards you. You might not think that this is fair, but it is just the way that it is.

3. You need to make her want you by making yourself look like the alpha male.

Humans are still pretty much wired the same way that they were thousands of years ago, and this explains why the alpha male always seems to do a lot better than a total wimp when it comes to attracting women. Back then, a total wimp meant that she probably would not survive and although that may not be the case today, women are still wired to make their judgments based on this. You need to be able to really give off the impression that you are the alpha male if you want to attract the woman that you want.

No more hesitations, right here is the moment you might have been dreaming of and only you are able to push it to become true. But, how can you have that dream date? Of course, you have to begin from the top. And, that is to ASK the person you are interested out on a date. Well, how could you ask a person out? Should you play safe? Do you need to act aggressive? Tricks to ask another person out would certainly be a great help.

The following points are easy but very important tips you could lean on in times that you seem to believe it is hard asking someone to get a date. For men, the following tips are a really great help to invite the woman of your dreams.

- Know the right reason for asking a person out. When you are aware of your own personality, it might surely have the idea of the way to express it in a method that you prefer.

- What when the women says “no”? Save that for later and prepare to no matter what the answer is. Do not take the “no” so seriously. Learn the good thing about grace in such occasions.

- To find the right words, you may attempt to do a little practicing in order to get convinced of how to say them to the person you would like to be with.

- Be sure there are the most crucial details you have for the date. The person may say “yes” and you simply have no idea what to do, that would be a real “turn off”. Whenever possible, be ready with ideas.

- See to it that you know how to reply whenever the person asks you for the reason your asking her out. There is no need to become a very huge flatterer but you have to make sure that you really get the person happy.

- Never stress someone to go out with you. This is not healthy plus it would actually branch out to bad outcomes. Remember not to pressure somebody to let you know why it is a “no”.

- Do not stand people up. So when you ask someone out, you mean it and you cannot get away from her just expecting for nothing at all.

- If the person disagrees, do not be bitter about it. All you have to do is move ahead rather than start treating the person bad.

- Having some beer in order to boost your confidence is really a no. It may just push you into worse situations. Please, be naturally confident.

- The more, the merrier except to get a first date. When you are asking a person to get a date, do not do it when she is having friends around.

These are really useful tips and you have to take note of them, they would certainly help you out in maximizing the time you may spend with that special person.

Slot machines have evolved over the course of history. Most of us have been familiar with the popular mechanical slots like Double Diamond, 5 Times Pay, and Wild Cherry. These were a great set of machines to play, and many of us have enjoyed the clanging of the money coming out of the hopper. The only real problem is, as technology changes, so does individual preferences. This is where the video slot machine comes in. It's nothing terribly new, probably been around the last fifteen years or so, but they have been met with such incredible fanfare. Folks wouldn't have to worry about having dirty hands from corralling all of the quarters. In addition, there are great bonuses to enhance the gambling experience and to keep them in the casino. It is of course this is the plan, so be wise and use your better judgement when making the trip to local casino and know when to quit.

What I'll be covering in the following is a list of some of the hottest video slot machines in the casinos right this moment. I'm not going to pitch a fail safe way to win and beat the odds, it just doesn't make sense as all the machines are on a computer generated statistical payout. But by using good judgement and taking into account what each game has to offer, gamers can have fun and have a much better chance of making a profit.

Let's get started with some of the hottest games:

#6- Twin Win (IGT)-A great game with an oceanic flavor, great looking artwork and very clever gaming dynamics. There are 15 lines to play and you can play in denominations from pennies to quarters. There isn't a formal bonus round in this game, which killed it's ranking a little, but the real excitement comes in the twin single symbols. Winning one line can actually win you twice for that line. I've personally seen some huge hits, even when betting small amounts. There are plenty of Twin Win machines around and one I recommend trying out.

#5- Sun And Moon (Aristocrat)-This game is real easy to understand and features quite an easy bonus to achieve. The actual game play graphics suffer in comparison to what IGT offers, but nonetheless well laid out. Features an Aztek inspired theme, all one would have to do is get two scattered Sun and/or Moon symbols on adjacent reels from left to right to initiate the bonus. Two symbols get you 5 free spins, three will get you 10 spins, four gets you 20 spins and if you're lucky enough to get five symbols then your prize is 50 free spins. All winning lines are at 2x pay of course and there is a chance to re-trigger some free spins.

#4- Coyote Moon (IGT)-Another well thought out theme based on wolves and Native American culture. This game has innovative stacked wilds that give the player a huge opportunity to win some big jackpots. The bonus is obtained with three bonus symbols in reels 2-3-4. And that gets you five free spins with the possibility to retrigger the bonus. The only problem I have is the number of lines this game has. A player can bet up to forty lines and max out the total bet at 1000 coins, yikes! Not for the faint at heart, but pays big when it hits. Also recommend Wolf Run, this game is virtually the same.

#3- 50 Lions (Aristocrat)-I would say this is more similar to Coyote Moon in concept. The only difference is that the stacked lion symbols are not wild. A fun game as well, and more easier on the pockets, max bet is only 500 on this one. Three red flower symbols on reels 1-2-3 get you 10 free spins. And, this is where the real fun begins!! Not only do you have the stacked lion symbols in the bonus, but there are also stacked wild diamond symbols. Hit a nice jackpot and the machine graphics run wild with gold coins flying everywhere. This game is a little bit more forgiving than the previous 3 and pay out bonus rounds quite frequently.

#2- Davinci Diamonds (IGT)-This is a fairly recent release but simply a gorgeous game with outstanding graphics that are pleasing to the eye and feature revolutionary gaming dynamics. Game is themed around classic art paintings of Mona Lisa and company plus wonderful looking precious stones. Game has what IGT calls it's “cascading” reels feature as the symbols simply just fall off the top of the screen into winning combos. The bonus is achieved when three bonus symbols line up on an active payline on reels 1-2-3. The player is then greeted with six free spins and every additional three bonus symbols drop gets the player more free spins. Winning payout is fairly high on this machine as one out of every other spin gets you at least your bet back. A very fun game with no other competitor.

#1- Lotus Flower (IGT)-This game is literally fresh, about a month or so old. The first time I experienced this game, I was stunned at how well and fluid the gameplay was. I chose this as the number one pick as it contained a great balance in all the categories. Symbols include face card letters and numbers from playing cards and other mystic symbols like fish, babies and lotus flower wilds, all the symbols are stacked by the way. Grab the bonus by getting three of more lily pad symbols scattered on any reels. Three bonus symbols get your 10 spins, four gets you 15, and five gets you 20 spins. In the bonus, all of the non-playing card symbols count as wilds. Stack them all together and win a megaton. I found this game to offer great odds and the best chance of walking away with some good money.

That rounds out this months hot list. And one thing I didn't take into any account are the progressive video slots like Wheel Of Fortune, Price Is Right and so on. The forementioned games have terrible odds at hitting consistent wins, the whole chase of hitting the progressives dropped the statistical odds through the floor. Nor did I recommend any mystery progressive machines. And most of us are familiar with Fort Knox, Jackpot Party, etc. know what I mean.

Data was gathered for this review by surveying 155 people who regularly play slot machines. Let me know what you think of the hot list/reviews and please feel free to comment on what improvements can be made. Maybe next month, I'll use your comments to base an April 2008 hot list and adjust accordingly. Conclusively, have fun and gamble responsibly!

A fresh report confirms that worldwide banks are taking stricter measures to protect their customers and in turn, reduce identity and internet fraud.

In the USA, VISA and Mastercard have recently stopped customers from using their credit cards to deposit at online casinos. It has lately come to our attention that in Canada and Sweden similar blocks are taking place.

After attempting to use a bank-issued VISA credit card at European based online casino, a Canadian player has discovered that their card was rejected. The error message indicated that the financial institution by which the card was issued would not allow the transaction to take place. We are not certain whether the block was caused by VISA or the bank, but one thing was confirmed: the player was unable to fund his online casino account.

In Sweden, the banks are not taking such stringent steps, although one particular bank has caused some disruption to the state of play for online casinos. SwedBank in Sweden is declining e-commerce transactions if the user is not enrolled by VBV. The bank advices the customers that get declined to enrol to the VBV programme as soon as possible in order to continue to use their card online. The customer would need to log on and register some details for processing. Once approved by the bank, the customer may use their card for e-commerce transactions. Many online casinos have seen a dramatic drop in deposits over the past couple of weeks and some are even sending their players the direct link to the bank in order to allow them to deposit again.

Our tips for hassle free deposits:

If you encounter a similar situation, it may be frustrating but bear in mind this is done for the player's own safety and protection against internet fraud. There are some quick solutions such as a prepaid online credit card or an e-wallet account. Although some online players might find some alternative payment methods are irritating to set up, they offer a much safer option which ultimately gives you peace of mind and allows you to carry on playing online with the minimum of disruption.

Most banks offer prepaid online cards. Companies like VISA Electron allow players to make payments online through a web-based card. Because the card has no attachment to a financial institution, banks are not able to intercept payments to online casinos. Transfers are instant and secure, as players are never required to give out their own personal bank account or credit card information.

The registration process is quick and easy. Our experience with VISA Electron took less than 10 minutes. Within 15 minutes, our online casino account was funded and we were ready to play.

Opening an e-wallet account took a bit longer. The registration process involved going through a set of personal questions which were all validated by a customer service representative from the e-wallet provider. However, for us it was ultimate security and we were happy to get back on track again!

What makes a free online slot machine better than others? The answer is — prizes, of course. Now you can play free slots not just for fun but to actually get some rewards- show tickets, discounts in shops and stores, free services, free dinner and drinks and even free stays in hotels. All set to play? Here's how to do it.

You typically need to be at least 21 years old in order to play free slots for prizes. Most sites ask for identification, or ask you to confirm that you are of legal age before allowing you proceed to the virtual game room.

Since the game is free, you never have to gamble or wager anything. However, most sites that offer free slots for prizes set limits on the number of times you can play (or the number of 'spins' you can do). The regular limit is about three spins per hour, but in some sites, you get to play even less.

There are also limits on the number of prizes you can win. You can win an item per winning spin in some sites, but you can only win once a day in others. Some sites are email-sensitive, so you can simply create and register more email accounts in order to play more. But some stricter sites take your IP address, so you can only have one account per computer.

Most online casinos that let you play free slots for prizes are very firm on their regulations. Do not try to play more than you can or win more than the allowed number of prizes, or your winnings may be declared void. Worse, you may be banned from the site and never get to play again.

Prizes are usually not transferable to a third party. Your winnings may be cancelled if you sell or trade them.

Coins clinking their way through the slots and the loud ringing of the jackpot bell are all sounds reminiscent of the most popular casino game on the planet. That's right; slots have dominated the gambling scene for quite a while now. Its charm rests on its simple rules: “Get the right combination to win the jackpot”. This game has found its way on the internet as well. Online casinos offer several varieties of the game to make it more enticing and fun. For a slots beginner, there is nothing more exciting than the first loud ringing of the jackpot bell. So for those aiming to take home the top prize, it would be most helpful to learn the common types of slot machine games to be able to formulate some strategies. Let's get started.

1) Free slot games – Free slots are commonly referred to as practice games as it is specifically created for that purpose. These games are simulations of the actual slots and are helpful in giving the players an idea and experience on how the game goes. You can hit the jackpot but of course you gain nothing monetary.

2) Traditional slot games – These games are typically played using a machine containing three reels, reminiscent of the original slot machines that were invented during the 19th century. To hit the jackpot, you must get the sole winning line. Single and multiple coin options are available for the players. Playing multiple coins increase the payout. Examples of traditional slots are Wow Pot and Cash Splash.

3) Five-Reel slot games – As the name implies, a five-reel machine is used in the games instead of three-reel machines. The additional reels can often enhance the thrill of the game. The extra symbols allow the creation of new winning combinations. Genie's Gem is an example of this type of games.

4) Multi-line slot games – Unlike traditional slot games, multi-line slot machine games have several pay lines. These pay lines can be slanted, crooked or crossed aside from the typical straight-line orientations. Flower Power is an example of multi-line slots.

5) Progressive slot games – When playing progressive slots, the jackpot increases as more games are played. And since lots of people do play slots, the prize can reach up to millions of dollars.

6) Bonus slot games – In some slot games, particularly online slot games, a round of additional games offer the chance to increase (double, triple) your prize. Bonus games are opportunities to do just that.

There you have it. The six common types of slot machine games including some examples have been discussed. The proliferation of online slots makes the game more accessible to a wider network of players. Avail of free online slot games to test your strategies before taking a shot at an actual game. As you become more adept at the game, keep in mind that the slot machine games just like any other games are intended primarily for entertainment. So take a break once you get the hang of it especially once you've hit the grand prize. After all, greed breeds trouble and of course you don't want that.
