Keno is such a diverse game it can be played anywhere, and nowadays it's also available online. Online keno is simply a virtual online representation of the actual game. Thought the two are quite different in the way they are played, they are both based on the same rules and the identical concept. Online keno has become a popular game in the last couple of years, especially with recent advancements of technology. Thanks to the fine artists and the sophisticated graphical interfaces today, online keno has gained a new appearance. Our society has made it its goal to make things as easy as possible and this version of keno is exactly that. Being able to mark the ticket to your liking by simply clicking on the ticket image turns the idea of using pen and paper into ancient history. Not to mention the fact that you don't even need to leave the house in order to play. There are many versions and ways of presenting keno to the user online; the game can be a virtual representation of a printed ticket or just a display of all 80 numbers for you to select - there's tons to choose from. Usually, sound effects as well as some sort of motion accompany the game, in forms of applauding crowds, balls being drawn, or bets being placed. Everything tied in together makes for one great online experience.

• First/Initial Bet - The odds for the initial bet are 1:1. Thats the bet that you make at the beginning before any cards are dealt out.
• Raise Bet - If you win on the 'raise bet' the winnings are determined on the spread (gap in between the highest and lowest) of the cards. :-
• 1 Card Spread - Pays 5:1. For example the cards drawn are 5 and 7, the 3rd card is 6.
• 2 Card Spread - Pays 4:1. For example the cards drawn are 5 and 8, the 3rd card is 6 or 7.
• 3 Card Spread - Pays 2:1. For example the cards drawn are 5 and 9, the 3rd card is 6, 7 or 8.
• 4 - 11 Card Spread - Pays 1:1. For example the cards drawn are 2 and an Ace (14), the 3rd card is anything from 3 to King (13)

If the dealer deals out two consecutive cards then the game is a push. If the dealer deals out a pair, he automaticaly deals a 3rd card, if the 3rd card is the same card again creating a 3 of a kind then the dealer is paid 11:1.

Roulette software comes in a variety of types with various features. Here we'll take a look at the different styles of software you may encounter, what features to look for, and how to know what is best for you. The first thing you need to decide is if you want to download roulette software to your home PC, or if you want to play through the Internet using a browser plug-in such as Shockwave or Flash. Downloadable roulette software lets you play offline, a bonus for those of us without high-speed Internet access or an unlimited account. In-browser games offer other unique features, such as the ability to play with other people, or to accumulate points and trade them in for prizes. When looking at browser based roulette software, try to find one that offers a bankroll that stays with you across sessions. This style of software is your smartest choice, as it will let you improve your game with practice. Without a real bankroll you can't truly tell if your strategy is working for you. Real money roulette software is a newer and very different form of the game. This software is most often a download package, but one which you need to be online to play, as the game connects to a central casino server when it starts up. This software is actually just a gateway into the game, which takes place on the server computer of the online casino. Real money roulette software allows you to play and win real cash from your home, so if you are a roulette fan and can't get enough, you should try playing online.

The website for English Harbour appears very comprehensive especially on security and banking issues which is encouraging. It does stress that it is only compatible with Windows systems however. Two different downloads are offered depending on the number of games that you want to play which we think is a useful feature, especially for those of you with slow download capability.

Unfortunately, we don't think that the casino itself lives up to the expectation caused by the website. English Harbour are no longer with Microgaming and have opted for Odds-On as their software provider. We are not aware of the reasons for the move but can only assume it was for cost concerns as the new playing interface is far less impressive than the standard Microgaming interface, in our opinion. The slots are simple and dull and only offer one 5-Reel machine. The lack of bonus features becomes tedious very quickly. The triple slots function is novel and allows you to play three slots of your choice simultaneously. They are still dull however and we could not get excited by it.

The email support is non-existent in our experience. Having asked specific questions of the support team, we received a non-relevant auto-responder and some months later, still haven't received answers to our specific questions.

It is not however, all negative. If you can put up with the average playing interface, English Harbour do offer some great competitions and prize draws. These would typically include holidays to Vegas, a sports car and various cash prizes.
