Video Poker – A New Twist on an Old Game

Ever since the days of the Wild West, when cowboys and businessmen would cram themselves into saloons and sit down to pass money back and forth on a card game, poker has been a mainstay in Americana. Now fast forward a hundred years or so. Now we have a new toy to entertain the masses – Television. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out where this is going, and sure enough fast forward a few more years, and two of Americas favorite things combines – TV and Poker. Video Poker is a take off the old sit down versions, but it has come a long way from five card draw.

It started out in 1979, when it became feasible to combine a television monitor with a solid-state central processing unit. The computer was born, and around the same time, video poker was born. At first it was simple. Draw Poker. The timeless classic. 5 cards, throw some back, get some new ones and hope for a win. People lined up to try this new take on an old passion, and soon the money began flowing. The biggest draw to the game was the fact that you didn’t have a dealer, a pit boss, or other players breathing down your neck. You could sit down and play some poker and just relax. Eventually this led to wide scale popularity in the machines, especially in casinos.

And who wouldn’t be thrilled to sit at one of these fancy machines? The lights, the sounds, the money! Not only that, but video poker has evolved to much more than 5 card draw. Newer poker machines have seen so many different variant. You have Deuces Wild, where a two serves as a wild card and a jackpot is paid for four deuces or a natural royal, Jacks or Better, where you can win on a pair of, you guessed it, jacks or better, and even Bonus Poker, where you get to play High-Low, offering even more winnings for every hand won. Other machines have employed a new twist called Multi-Play Poker, where you start with a base hand of five cards, and each additional played hand draws from a different set of cards with the base hand removed. As time progresses, who knows what will come next.

So how do these marvelous attractions work? At the core of video poker machines lies the brain of the ordeal – the Random Number Generator; we’ll call it the RNG from here on out. The RNG’s soul job Is to make sure that the outcome of every game truly is random. Each card is given a numeric value. Once you press deal, the RNG generates 5 numbers, which correspond to your dealt cards. So say you have a two of hearts, ace of diamonds, 3 of hearts 5 of hearts and jack of clubs. Now you decide to discard all but the hearts. Those numbers are thrown out of the mix, and three more numbers are generated. This time, you get a 4 of hearts and a 6 of hearts – Congratulations! You’ve just gotten a straight flush, and watch your bankroll climb.

Video Poker is fun, less intimidating than traditional poker tables, and offers a wide arrangement of play styles to choose from. No wonder its Americas favorite game in the casinos.

Playing Strategic Games Such as Phage Wars as a Hobby

Some people wonder if there are any benefits for a hobby such as playing online games. Of course, to spend countless hours of senseless games is just a waste of time. However, not all games are created equal. There are literally thousands and thousands of games on the Internet. And all of them differ in some way or other. To reap the true benefits of playing games, perhaps the wisest route to take is to choose games that will help stimulate your brain.
We are referring to thinking games such as puzzles or highly strategic games. These games present a challenge to the gamer and force them to think. They have to come up with a solution or a strategy to overcome the obstacles that are presented to them. Therefore, throughout the game, the brain remains active. This is good exercise for the mind. Here is a quick example.
On the Internet, you can easily find a game by the name of Phage Wars. This is a free game that is gaining popularity very quickly. The concept is simple – you are a parasite, and your job is to infect all forms of cellular life. The goals is to overtake all other parasites, and become the dominant species. This is a rather funny but interesting concept, and the game has attracted thousands of players from all over the world.
You start the game by choosing from 8 types of parasites. Each type of parasite has different levels of speed, strength and agility. When in the game, each cell displays a number in its middle. The higher the number, the more difficult it is to infect the cell. The different strains of cells are shown in different colors. Smaller cells can gang up to attack another cell. You can combine up to 8 cells in a single attack. Obviously, when you do that, there is a much greater chance of success. When you have successfully infected all the cells, you become the dominant species, and you have reached your ultimately goal. On screen, it shows that all the cells have become one color. And the game will also congratulate you by displaying the texts “Dominate Species” across the screen.
This game can take hours to complete, so you may wish to pause it if you need to. You can do so by pressing the space bar. To unpause the game, simply press the space bar again, and you can continue your cell domination war.
You can play the game online (require Flash 10) without having to download anything. All you need is your computer, your browser, and an internet connection. The game can be found on many Flash gaming sites. Some sites even offer a chat application by the side of the game. If you need some help, you can always ask for help in the chat room. You may be surprised to find dozens of other players playing the same game as you at the same time!

New Pokemon Pikachu World Collection Binders

Its been 10 years since the last Pikachu 9 card binder came out. Finally, the wait is over. On July 10, 2010 the Japanese Pokemon Centers, 7-11 convenience stores and movie theaters in Japan will be releasing two new Pikachu World Collection 9 card holofoil promo binders. There will be 2 slightly different versions, a blue one and a green one. The blue version will be sold at toy stores and movie theaters. The green one will only be sold at Pokemon Center and 7-11 convenience stores. Some of you may remember the 1st Pikachu 9 card promo binder. It was released back in 2000 for the Sydney Olympic Games.

These two new promo binders will be similar to the Olympic binder, but with a slight difference. Instead of having 9 of the classic Pikachu non holofoil promo cards like sufing Pikachu, base Pikachu, flying Pikachu, etc., it will have 9 holofoil Pikachu cards in various poses. These 9 cards will be in 9 different languages like before, but this time with Polish instead of Chinese. The languages will be English, Italian, German, French, Polish, Korean, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese. Each of the cards have the word for “hello” printed in their own language on the card. The two color versions of the binder are basically the same, except for the Pikachu Japanese card. The Japanese Pikachu card in the blue binder has a blue background and in the green binder it has a green background.

This binder will be really popular and I believe much better than the Sydney Olympic binder. The cards are holofoils which seem to be more popular than non holofoil cards. This binder will only be sold in Japan and will sell out very fast. Dont wait until the last minute to get your hands on one of these beautiful Pikachu binders as soon as you can.
