Global Player Casino operates under a gaming licence granted by the government of Antigua & Barbuda. Established, licensed, and fully functional since 3/30/1999. To have a gaming license means that a casino is able to 1) deposit enough money yearly as a financial backup for players (approximately US $50,000 up to US $100,000 per annum), 2) pay the taxes (of about 2,5% up to 5%), and hence 3) is subject to the control of the government that issued the gaming licence in case of any disputes.

Games
Blackjack
A variety of games are offered and all are available in either multi-player or single-player
mode. If you're at a single-player table, you may spread to a total of 5
hands, if you wish. Since all the different Blackjack games offer limits
of $1-$55 (some are $100) per spot, a spread of $1 to $275 is possible.
The games are styled after those
found in many famous locations. This is one of the few casinos on the
Internet that does not shuffle the cards after |
Blackjack
every 'round' in their
multi-deck games. The single-deck games are shuffled after every round,
but the multi-deck games are shuffled "randomly, beginning at the
50-70% level", except that the double-decker is shuffled a bit
earlier. So, the choice is clear: if you're a counter, go with one of
the multi-deck games and, if you're not, go with one of the single-deck
games. Play |

City Blackjack
Standard
blackjack with favorable rules for the player.
Set: 6 Decks are used which is standard. It makes it more
difficult to keep track of the cards. The cards are shuffled at about
50% penetration level (after about 50% of the deck was played) which
is good because it helps you to keep track of the cards more easily.
Betting Limits are $1-$55,
$5-$200 or $10-$300 per box which again is very good because you can
bet as little as $1 up to as much as $300 (there are five boxes on
each table, one for each player or hand / see picture). The
house edge is 0.33% which is average. |
Atlantic
City Blackjack
Rules: You can play up to 5 hands at
once which is excellent. The dealer stands on A-6 which is
standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards which is
better than what land based casinos offer you. You even can double
down after you split pairs which again is exceptionally good. Pairs
may be split to 4 hands which is excellent and lots of fun. You can
surrender against 10 and Ace after the dealer has looked at his second
card. When the dealer has an 10, or an ace showing, the chance of
losing is greater than 75%, which makes it a good option for you.
Insurance is offered when the dealer's exposed card is an ace. Play |

blackjack where the dealer does not peak.
Set: 4 Decks are used which
is not good and not bad. As less decks are used as more easy it gets
to keep track of the cards. The cards are shuffled at about 50%
penetration level (after about 50% of the deck was played) which is
good because it helps you to keep track of the cards more easily.

land based casinos offer you. You cannot double
down after splitting a pair though. Pairs may be split up to 4 hands
which is excellent and lots of fun. Aces may be split only once and
they receive only one card. You can surrender against 10 and Ace
after the dealer has looked at his second card. When the dealer has an

makes it a good option for you. Insurance is offered if you think
that the dealer might have a blackjack.
!!!: The dealer does not peak to tell you if he has a
blackjack, so if he gets a blackjack, all bets are lost. If you
surrender and the dealer has a blackjack, you lose the entire bet. If
you split a pair or double against a 10 and the dealer has a
blackjack, you'll lose only the original bet. Play |

An
un-busted hand consisting of 6 cards is an automatic winner.
Set: 2 Decks are used which is good, because as less
decks are used as more easy it gets to keep track of the cards. The
cards are shuffled at about 35% penetration level (after about
35% of the deck was played). Betting
Limits are $1-$55, $5-$200 or
$10-$300 per box which again is very good because you can bet as

Rules: You can play up to 5 hands at
once which is excellent. The dealer stands on A-6 which is
standard. Doubling down is only allowed on 9, 10 and 11 which is
standard for land based casinos. Online casinos allow you to double
down about any first pair usually. But it makes the game more
authentic this way. You are not allowed to double down after you split
a pair tough.
You may split pairs to 2 hands only which is below average, because
other casinos allow you to split the cards up to 3 hands. The dealer
does not peak to tell you if he has a blackjack, so if he gets a
blackjack, all bets are lost. No surrender is available. Play |

impossible to keep track of the cards. You start off with the same
conditions and probabilities every round. Betting Limits are $1-$55,
$5-$200 or $10-$300 per box which again is very good because you can
bet as little as $1 up to as much as $300 (there are five boxes on

European Roulette
This
is a single-zero wheel which sets the casino's basic edge at 2.70%.
Additionally the casino uses the "la partage" rule which
causes the player to lose only half the bet on the 'outside' bets,
should the zero come up (also called the 'en prison' rule). The
'outside' bets are high, low; red, black; odd and even. By losing only
half the bet, the casino's edge on those bets is cut down to 1.35%.
Compare this to the house edge at an American roulette table, which is
5.3%. The betting limits are $1-$2000, $5-$4,000 and
$10-$6,000. Play |
American
Roulette
They
offer a double-zero wheel as well, but the 'la partage' rule does not
apply, so the casino's edge stays at 5.3%. You really should not
play here. But it is positive that Global-Player Casino offers both
the European and the American roulette version. The
betting limits are $1-$2000, $5-$4,000 and $10-$6,000,
which are probably the highest betting limits you will find at online
casinos. Usually you are not allowed to bet more
than about $500. This is the reason why Global-Player is our No.1
Choice for online roulette. Play |
| A negative
point here is: the history of spins is limited to two, where you'll
probably need more than two spins in review to analyze the game when
betting $6,000 on a spin. |

 It
is difficult to calculate the payout probabilities of slot machines
without knowing exactly how many times a certain symbol appears on each real.
You could sit in front of the machine, pull the lever 500,000 times and
write the results down or rely on the information that Global Player
Casino gives you. And they state that their slot machines had a payout
of up to 99%. This would be incredibly high compared to other online
casinos. So we would
advise you to try your luck here. Global Player Casino offers three slot
|
Slots
machines, two of them meter each a
progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot at their Golden Planet
Premium slot machine gets quite large most of the time. The last time I
took a look it was metering US 31,000 (Thirty One Thousand US Dollar).
An amazing feature is that you can 'dial-in' a number of games,
minimize the screen, go play Blackjack, drink a coffee, chat with your
friends or whatever and the little rascal will just
keep on playing. The denominations
you wish to play are 25c, 50c, $1, and $5, so the max betting limit is
$15. Play

Video Poker
 Global
Player Casino features a set of 31 different video poker machines, all of them offering a very good
payout. They even have the best paying machine on the net which is their
Deuces Wild
Poker machine offering a payout of 100.78%. Most of their Video Poker
machines are Triple Play machines (TP):
Three rows of cards are shown. You bet the selected number of coins on each
of |
Video Poker
the three rows, so e.g. selecting 5 coins means betting 15
coins altogether. First 5 cards are dealt only to the
bottom row. Any cards that are held are duplicated to the upper
two rows. Now each card row
receives an independent draw from a separate card deck. All
their special games are explained at
their web site. Global Player Casino is definitely
the right place to play video poker. Play |
