Online Gaming: Who Is Gaming Whom?

Online Gaming: Who Is Gaming Whom?

Reviewed by Wiratri

Many people around the world play at online casinos, and that's fine if it's your only source of gambling. However, online casinos are nowhere near as close to the real thing when it comes to simulation. Take Craps for example. Do you have a good craps strategy? The casino determines what number rolls by using a random number generator. However, just how random is random? If you have been in a casino, you know that every single person at a table has a unique rolling pattern. Some stack the dice and casually vault them into the air. Others shake them up and rocket them to the back wall, while other frequently launch the dice off the table or fall short of the back wall. There are even players who change their rolling pattern every roll or point.

An online casino does not have the ability to simulate this. Sure, they can manipulate the random number generator, but there's still no way to accurately simulate table action. Having programmed, I know that a random number generator is not all that random. Worse, if the computer simply "picks a number", it is not even a proper setup to being with. Let's keep looking at Craps. Does the casino have a random number generator that simply picks a number between one and twelve? If so, all the numbers have an even shot at coming out, which is against true probability. Perhaps they list out all probable combinations and then the computer selects one. This would be a little more accurate, probability wise, but it still lacks the real randomness of live action—and weird events are more likely to ensue.

What I'm about to tell you is true and happens more frequently that one would imagine. A tester recently played at an online casino (online casino craps) to monitor number frequency in the field. Within the span of just 150 rolls, the computer rolled 11 non- field numbers in a row and then followed it up a handful of rolls later by rolling 12 non-field numbers in a row. What's the big deal you ask? Well, first, the field has a 44.5% chance of winning on every roll and second; the probability of throwing 11 non-field rolls in a row is .0015%. The probability of throwing 12 non-field numbers in a row is .0008%. These events should happen once every 667 rolls and once every 1176 rolls respectively, yet both where seen within a handful of rolls from each other within the 150 rolls monitored.

Simple WOW Mining Guide for Gold and Copper

The World of Warcraft (WOW) is an exciting strategy game where you need a good WOW mining guide to improve your character’s skills to mine. Each character in the game has different professions and mining skill is required with the blacksmithing, engineering and jewel crafting professions.

The character’s skill to mine is an integral part of their ability to excel in their quest to master the World of Warcraft. They need to mine ore, metal deposits and gems along their journey in order to save money instead of buying these materials.

Additional skills on smelting and finding material deposits are also needed. The skill needed by the character to find the materials is in its use of radar that can passively alert the character for a mineral deposit nearby. Learning to smelt is essential to convert ore into usable materials. This can be done in forges that are found in populated regions.

What You Will Need in Mining

The ability to mine will depend on your mining pick. This tool is what you need to start mining with. Purchasing a cheap pair of glove is an optional but recommended option. You must have your skill enhanced to a +5 mining skill. A Goblin mining helmet is necessary for the engineer since it adds +5 mining skill to the character. You should also keep in mind before starting mining that ores are only found on the side of the hills so you must follow the trail along the hillsides.

Where To Mine Copper

There are about 40-50 copper ore deposits around the hills of Mulgore. Just follow a path encircling the hills and you will find abundant supply of copper. You can also follow the route to Orc and Toll where small routes are also abundant with copper. You can start from the Orgrimmar gates and head east to reach Skull Rock where you can mine ore then head south to reach Orc and back to West side to reach the coast. Then head north on the cliff face then go east to go back to Orgrimmar. You can mine about 30-40 copper ore deposits along this route.

Where To Mine Gold

When mining for gold you can also mine iron as well. When mining gold at Desolace and you are Horde your starting point should be at Shadowprey Village. Head to Valley of Spears until the Kodo Graveyard. In the east you will find Magram Village and you can go around to the Shadowbreak Ravine until you reach the Mannoroc Coven. Go on west to Gelkis Village to go back to your starting point.

Alliance should begin their quest from the Nijel’s Point and go southeast to Sargeron and head south to Kolkar Village. You can then head west to the Kodo Graveyard then go northwest to the Ethel Rethor, northeast to Thunderaxe Fortress and north to Tethris Aran and go east to reach the Nijel’s Point.

These basic routes are simple WOW mining guide for uncovering abundant areas where you can mine gold and copper.

Zygor In-Game Guide Review


Zygor In-Game Guide Review

Is Zygors Leveling Guide any Good?

This review aims to answer the question we are asked most - Is Zygors Guide a genuine product? Well i'm sure the author - John Cook, would take issue over this. His comprehensive leveling guide is based on his own vast experience with World of Warcraft and he has leveled many characters, achieving faster and faster times with each one. His site shows you how to get from level 1-80 in less than 7 days and all without having to use the alt/tab facility!

This small gem of information intrigues me enough to check out the program and conclude it definitely is not a ‘scam’. John really has done his research thoroughly and has developed a very detailed guide for both the Alliance and Horde without sacrificing the enjoyment of the game. Check the full article out here: Zygor’s Guide Review.

What is good about this guide?

Every one of the in-game guides has a starter guide for each race. For example for an Alliance character it has Dwarf, Night Elf, Draenei, Human races, and Gnome and for the Horde it has Tauren, Orc, Troll, Blood Elf and Undead races. This means any class or race can use this leveling guide collection. All the guides are detailed and complete and take into account the strategic strengths and weaknesses of all classes. They also cross the generation gap and cater for newbies and veterans. Check the full article out here: Zygor’s Guide Review.

The best thing about the in game function is that it’s like having your very own personal trainer to 'walk' you through everything, telling you exactly where you should go and what quests to accept. It will also detect automatically when you have reached the end of each level and take you to the next step of the guide. This allows you to speed up the leveling process.

Summary

If any of you are on a budget you will be pleased to know that Zygors guide is actually cheaper than most of the other guides on the market and with the extra bonuses it’s definitely worth checking out. A must see...!
