wondering if they are all programmed to pay out at the same house edge? I have got to assume that there are some corrupt ones out there. However, i hear for the most part that the odds are exactly the same as Vegas. Can anyone here offer any insight?

I would imagine someone as CRIS and the other REPUTABLE BOOKS offer a CASINO thats on the up.

But keep in mind MOST CASINO SOFTWARE does let the HOUSE TUNE in the PAYOFF % they WANT....

You should try First Fidelity Casino! I've been with them for 8 years and never played their casino till last week! They were black balled by a customer who said he was scammed by them! If its true they are not scamming anyone now! I played 5 times at their casino last week and WON every time! Not big money between 300 and 500.

not sure week if the casinos are legit or not I never play in them, IMO if you like casino and cards just play poker at party or pokerroom or wherever at least you have SOME control over the skill of the game..

So in your opinion, you think many internet casinos are fixed?

weekend, I won't say most online casinos are "fixed", but most do have difficulty settings that the book or software company has control over. I used to play these things on a consistent basis going years back, and some sites are much more trustworthy than others. Most of the more reputable sites that specialize only in casino games, such as The Sands, for example, are much more fair and consistent than those smaller ones used at the books. Ive played at several book casinos, and done well at many, and not so well at others. Trust me, when you have played them for so long, you can definitely tell when they have the difficulty level cranked up to a high level. Ive said this in the past, but the one casino I have found to be the most unfair is those at 5dimes, and others have also mentioned this. 75% of the time it is just plain "laughable", almost, it is so unfair. A manager from an online casino even admitted in here in there past that most do have difficulty settings. My philosophy is they adjust the casino according to how well or not so well the Sportsbook has done.If their book section took a big hit, I believe they just rake the people who play the casino in order to make up for it. If that's the case, then 5dimes must take a beating in the sports department week in and week out........

Usually the ones crying about them being fixed are the same ones that go to Vegas and complain about Urban Legends and mistruths about the games. That being said, however, Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware), because the casinos on the internet do not have the regulations of most land-based casinos. I would stick with the more reputable companies as, in reality, they have more to lose fixing the games rather than being content with a fixed house edge.
