The ‘Foley’ of Ice Hockey in Las Vegas. By Victor H. Royer

In the third week of June, we broke several heat records here in Las Vegas. In some neighbourhoods – like mine – the temperature exceeded 120 degrees Fahrenheit. And don’t ask me what that is in Celsius! All Americans think that the decimal system should be discontinued entirely, because it is so confusing.

But – not to be outdone or upstaged – in yet another brilliant move, the billionaires and their corporate cronies and various money fund gurus from Wall Street, decided to put an Ice Hockey team into Las Vegas! I can just see the founding fathers of Las Vegas turning over in their graves! Who would have thought it? Ever?

But this was not an off-the-cuff moment.

The gaming industry is one that is driven by a unique meld of trends and patterns, which traverse the diametrically opposed worlds of tradition and innovation. So while developers are always striving to create something new and exciting, the majority of titles are built on classic, gaming patterns.

This is reflected through various cycles in history, which have seen recurring trends across several generations. These trends also reoccur across different gaming genres, with the online casino market providing a prominent example. Even though this is one of the most innovative markets available, the virtual casino platform cannot escape its roots or the gaming patterns of the past.

How Classic Casino Gaming Patterns continue to reign supreme

We all know Blackjack is a simple, fun casino game but casual players may not realise just how much can be won from playing.

It may seem as though you can’t do much with a bad hand or as though you are guaranteed a big win from a five card tick or traditional winning hand but that isn’t always the case – a little strategy goes a long way. Take this Blackjack guide from 888casino for an example, it offers both beginners and novices further insight in how to profit from the game.

A standard game will have six decks of cards and the dealer must take another card (hit) if their hand totals 16 or less – sounds like a good deal but that isn’t always the case. The dealer will show you one of their cards at the point of dealing, this can give you a good insight on whether to hit or surrender your hand; knowing which to do when is key to win at Blackjack.
