I had been to Las Vegas twice last year. Although various thoughts crossed my mind about this place before my visit, my perspective about this sparking world changed after playing some really cool casual games in the casinos. Yes! I mean ‘Casual Games.’
There are various games in the Las Vegas casinos. A couple of games that I enjoyed playing and ‘winning’ were Slot Machines and Roulette.
In this post I would highlight certain interesting stuff about the Slot Machines.
Slot Machines are the most popular attractions in any casino in Las Vegas. These are gambling machines which can be played by anyone as a casual game. More than 60% of a casino’s revenue in the United States comes from slot machines alone. In my opinion, it entices many old and new players to try their luck at these magic machines because of these facts:
1. Playing the slot machines does not require any special gambling skills.
2. Just by pushing a button, a player can win a mind-blowing jackpot.
3. The game can be played with a very small bet. The minimum bet amount varies for different machines ranging from $1 to $5.
4. The player does not look like a hardcore gambler.
5. The game can be played comfortably as there are many, many and many more people of various age groups trying their ‘Luck’ too.
The player has to input the dollar bills to start the game. It is totally up to the player to decide on how much amount to ‘risk.’ By pushing the ‘Bet/Play’ button the player can get immersed in the game. Three or more reels spin, depending on the machine, showing certain combinations. Depending on the player’s betting amount per round & the combinations shown on the reels, the player wins or loses the bet.
Modern slot machines are totally computerized. The mechanics are simple. The combinations are generated with a ‘random number generator’ which are controlled by computer microprocessors.
People enjoy risking a small amount as they have a chance of winning a large amount effortlessly. The trick is to withdraw (Cash Out) from the game if you win some bucks. It is an enjoyable game if you don’t fall into the trap of greed. Give it a try, it’s fun. Lots of luck!

Red Roses
Heya Friends,
I wanted to make a floral digital painting. As I love roses, I thought it would be a nice idea to paint some roses. 'Roses Without Thorns' popped up in my mind. I was excited about painting some roses without those harsh thorns.
I used Flash and Photoshop for this Digital Art. And, it took me around 10 hours to finish this. Post your feedback & comments. I'd love to hear from you all.
Cheers!

Games Festival - IndieCade 2011
IndieCade 2011 took place in Culver City, Los Angeles last weekend (October 8 – 9). For the first time I attended this game festival organized by IndieCade in California. Thousands of casual gamers and industry junkies were hanging around in the place. It was an incredible experience to see some of the coolest and absolutely innovative works of independent game developers.
There were 31 finalists with their games ranging from platformers, simple puzzles, turn – based strategy, point and click adventure, social games and many more. Audiences had a great time previewing these bizarre casual games.
Every game showcased at the IndieCade festival was unique considering the gameplay and the art style. There were some games which were amazing in quality. They had all the key features of a casual game. Skulls of the Shogun, Deepak Fights Robots & Ibb and Obb are my personal favorites from this bunch in IndieCade 2011.
I’m looking forward to more such delightful events to attend and also to be a part of it.
Cheers!
