Girls let me tell you, I can’t resist video poker. I don’t know what it is but once I start playing I lose track of time and before I know it, hours go by! My friend Lara told me I should check out the games at 32Red Casino online, and though I usually play somewhere else I decided to trust her good advice.
I went to their site and I really loved the look of it right away, so pretty with gold and purple all over the place! I browsed around a little and found out that they have a huge number of video poker games. I signed up and on some other sites I’ve used EcoCard to deposit funds and always had a pretty good experience. At 32Red I found out that they give you a 10% bonus on top of your deposit when you use EcoCard, so I went with that and got some free money to play with, woohoo!
I looked through the long list of available video poker games, and the Aces and Eights really looked fun so I tried that one first. I always play small, just 5 per hand, so I can play a long time (I am not very lucky at these things, lol). I am not a big spender like some of these high rollers, lol! But I do love my video poker, so I always find some extra cash to play with. Anyway, on my first few hands, I had nothing but jacks or better, no biggie but at least I got my bet back.
On about the fifth or sixth hand in, I noticed the double button, and I was so hooked after that! I had just gotten a full house and won forty back on my bet of five (not bad huh?) and when I clicked the double button they gave me a chance to double my win by picking a higher card than the face up card. Well, the face up card was a three. Simple enough, and BAM, just like that, I had turned my forty into eighty. Wow, I was a happy girl!
After a few more little wins I was up by about a hundred so I decided to try some of the other video poker games they had. A lot of them were similar to each other but just offered different bonus jackpots for combinations of four of a kind or other hands. But then I found my favorite – Double Bonus Poker. This game is great; you get extra big payouts for four of a kind with certain cards in the mix.
All the games I played on this version went pretty well. I got four of a kind twice, and one of those times was for the bonus jackpot! That won me 800 in one hand! I did not dare try and double that one, I was too afraid of losing it. I ended up closing the night with some extra shopping money to my name, yay!
I did a withdrawal that night and used EcoCard again. It took a couple days to get the money all the way into my hands, but it was a smooth transaction, and that next weekend was shopping time with Lara for turning me on to a great gaming site. Thanks 32Red!
