It looks like you can deposit 300, get a 600 sticky match Bonus, and play blackjack (for us dollars only). Am I missing something? Do you think the best strat for this is to play 3 $300 hands all at once to start? I assume you can't play 1 for $900. I have made $300 from the other sites and would be willing to do this one for the full amount, but don't really know the best strat. |
pretty sure that Carnival won't let you play blackjack if you take full advantage of the Bonus. Make sure to check the terms and conditions again first. |

I THINK CARNIVAL HAS CHANGED THEIR TERMS:
Terms and Conditions of 100% First Deposit Bonus up to $200 (The Second Deposit Bonus of 50% up to $577 is listed below).
Please note that the only deposit that is eligible for this Bonus is your first single deposit at the Casino.
Unless otherwise stated, this offer may not be combined with any other bonuses offered by Carnival Casino.
This Play Bonus will be given only once per household and/or per account.
Please note that in the interest of fair gaming: for $ and you have to wager at least (8) eight times your Bonus and deposit before making any cash outs, while for £ you have to wager at least (12) twelve times your Bonus and deposit before making any cash outs. If you withdraw before having reached the minimum wagering requirements, your Bonus and winnings will be void.
For example:
Deposit 200 /$ get 200 /$ FREE - minimum
wager is 3,200 /$
Deposit £200 get £200 FREE - minimum wager is £4,800
To be eligible for this Bonus you must deposit a minimum of 20 /£/$.
Carnival Casino reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this offer at any time and it is your responsibility to periodically check here for changes and updates.
Using the player's deposit and Bonus funds to wager on Craps (all sorts of Craps) , Roulette (all sorts of Roulette), Sic Bo (all sorts of Sic Bo), Blackjack (all sorts of Blackjack) and Baccarat (all sorts of Baccarat), Jacks or Better (all sorts of Jacks or Better), Aces and Faces (all sorts of Aces and Faces), and Deuces Wild (all sorts of Deuces Wild) does not fulfill the player's obligations with regard to the minimum wagering requirements for £ $ and .
-----------------------------------------------------
I never did this one. Let me know if anyone finds out that it is still worthwhile. |

| Yup, looks like Carnival has changed their rules... be sure to check out the details at each casino's website, maybe they change them regularly... |

What do u guys think of this strat?
| Quote: | | Lets say you deposit $100 and get a $200 sticky Bonus with a WR of 4x deposit + Bonus (which is a common promotion). You start with $300. Your goal is $600. You play blackjack and bet $50/hand. You do this until you hit $600 or until you bust out. |
The idea is so you hit the WR hopefully when you hit your target. Not pump it all into one big bet and then work off the WR and maybe lose a bit doing that. |

This the strategy you have to take at many places. There are two reasons to do one big bet (when you can). 1) to save time -- just figure out if you are losing or winning and get it over with
2) to increase variance -- you want to hit the target, or be done -- $50 bets will increase variance pretty good but it is possible you might get to the WR without reaching the target or busting (not very possible - lol)
So if you hit your target after just 8 bets (400wr) I hope you would switch back to saftey betting for the remainder of your WR to conserve your winnings.

Ok. Cause I remember the Martingale (1/7th) system was to reach your target asap or bust trying...I busting trying twice (at the Golden Palace and grand casino big stickies too  )so I was looking for other methods
But your saying all-in bet is your preferred method? |

All in bet isn't for BJ -- with BJ, it is preferred to have remaining $ for doubles and splits. That's why the Martingale is great for BJ (except for that last bet  )
Also, most places have table limits, so the all-in isn't a viable option everywhere.
Again, normally, you want to reduce variance when chasing a Bonus. But with the sticky, you want to increase variance to the extremes -- win or bust. The way to increase variance is with betsize. |

Ok. I gotcha. I went for the Martingale again and I made $202 at Casino Del Rio...so I'm +2 at sticky bonuses now, lol. I didn't reach my goal of $300 but I'm just happy to see sticky Bonus profit.
I can see how this works well. I guess I ran into crappy lucky at the first two.
Edit: I can see where the boom or bust is too. I've gotten double down situations with huge bets and lost when I should of basically hit my target. Ahhh this is not fair, lol. |

Okay - I'm an idiot - I assumed that since the banner was from a place I played BJ, they would have casino games - This is a bingo site - DUHHHH - I was just so quick to post a creative topic, like I was really opening a new can of worms for us all to explore - But I guess Bingo isn't quite a skill game - MY BAD _ skip all this garbage below! thanks
Has anyone tried the Party Bingo Bonus that PlanetLuck has as a banner upon logging out? It looks like 200% up to $200 with WR of 10 times (so $2k for $200) - This looks pretty good to me - Anyone else signed up for this site? Since it's an affiliate (i'm guessing) of PlanetLuck, it looks like it might be just as easy to complete the Bonus requirements - I just got done with Planet luck and cashed out $220 off my $100, Bonus in about 3 hours play - So thanks to Ttanaka for this casino guide! Is it ethical to fund my struggling poker BR with BlackJack bonuses? LOL
Here are the terms I copied -
The offer:
200% Bonus on your first deposit of $25 or more. The maximum Bonus available is $200.
How to get this Bonus:
When you make your first deposit, you will be prompted to enter a Bonus code. The code for this sign up offer is WIN200. One you have made your deposit, the Bonus will be added automatically to your account.
Rules
This Bonus is available on your first real money deposit of $25 or more.
Only one Bonus can be taken per deposit.
The maximum Bonus available is $200.
If you choose to accept a Bonus, before you can cash out you must a) wager the deposit amount plus the Bonus a certain number of times in a certain time period or b) spend your deposit and Bonus amount so that you have $5 (or less) remaining. You need to play this deposit and Bonus amount at least ten times. You will be able to cash out within 24 hours of these requirements having been met.
The play requirements for players from Israel, Poland, Denmark and China for all Bonus codes are 15 times the deposit plus Bonus amount unless otherwise stated.
The Bonus will be removed from the account if the wager restrictions listed above are not met within three months of sign up.
To protect the vast majority of honest players, PartyBingo.com reserves the right to exclude individual players from promotions or suspend cashouts if we suspect abuse, fraudulent or suspicious play or if a player's account is in bad credit.
If there is any discrepancy, the Hall Manager's decision will be final and binding. |

Regarding the Black Jack strategy chart - If you have hit a few cards already, and are stuck at 16 vs. a 10, do you keep hitting? I had several times tonight where I would have cards that the chart said hit, but I had already taken 3 or even 4 hits and it's almost as if i KNOW a face card is coming - So is the basic strategy chart just H for hit no many how many cards you have taken?
Also, my personal update - Tonight I played about 2 1/2 hours on Starluck (finished PlanetLuck couple days ago) and met the WR and was up to $240 - So I've turned my $100 into $360 in about 6 hours of play - This Bonus system is rocking so far -  |

The exception here is 16 with a 17 showing -- two or three 4's or 5's? Just stand. |

Very inspiring stuff tyson..
I have a good friend who has written a fantastic program that does all the card chart S/H/D, etc. things very quickly and easily. He said he'd post it here sometime soon, so give a look out for it.
I don't know squat about BJ, so I'm relying completely on it as I clear the Starluck and PlanetLuck bonuses. I think I'm going to hit those quickly and save the sticky bonuses for some rainy day (when I have a more massive BR). I might start clearing the Bonus today, so I'll post my results as I finish them off. Thanks for the guide! |

Wow.. that was stupid easy. A couple of notes for those interested:
I did the $2 bets on three hands at a time as suggested.
My highest money total was around $235.. my lowest was around $120 (at which point I was feeling rather ill)
I ended up at around $154, but should've had more. I was keeping track of the number of hands I was playing by marking down everytime I got 3 new hands... I ignorantly forgot to include splits and doubling down in that.. so when I got up over what I thought was $1500 or so, I checked in to see what my wagering was at.. and it was over $1800... I was particularly pissed, because I had a couple of crushing rounds just prior to checking and had been at around $190... oh well.
I'd suggest taking some time to play with the BJ table on a play money basis till you are comfortable with it... the manner in which it cues up the hand that is being played can be a little tricky. (At least I thought so)... just make sure you are aware of which hand is active while you are playing.
I think that program will be posted soon. I'm cashing out of Starluck this afternoon, and putting my 100 bones into PlanetLuck. I'm also planning on just deleting the software for Starluck after this... I haven't seen it mentioned, but I'm guessing most poeple do delete software for sites that they are only startup whoring... Unless of course they plan to hit it for reloads and such. |
