His name is Vincent Cable
He now seems barely able
His story is a fable
Of being careful when talking to girls who look like Betty Grable.

We’re bored of tiresome entrapment by news papers of all colours. Someone should occasionally be allowed to say something, in private, that is not their public position.

The Daily Telgraph shall not be gracing the Slargo doorstep for a while.

Sometimes people never cease to amaze me. Make that frequently. A rather jolly Facebook campaign that seems to be raising money for the NSPCC and showing a generally good natured stand against child abuse has suddenly become the devil incarnate.

In short, it was to do with changing your Facebook photo to be that of a cartoon character to show support for the NSPCC and be anti-child abuse. Like people are pro, but anyway. For the record I chose Droopy – he always made me laugh.

Then of course came the counter reaction that it was all a plot by the paedos so they could speak to kids as they had cartoon character avatars! This has now had to be publically demied by Facebook and so on.

If you ever want to see the ludicrous machinations that people believe go on, just watch Chris Morris’ Brass Eye. Sometimes you despair!

 

What’s the Future for Classic Slot Machines?

By Cody Slyfield

These days, you can cut a very clear distinction between contemporary slot machines and their more traditional counterparts. The idea of the “classic slot machine” is now seen as a gentle exercise in nostalgia to try to bring in older game players who just can’t quit get to grips with these shiny new slots with their screens and video games and jackpots.

Are they going to simply fade away – or will there still be room for the classic slot as opposed to video slot machines?

There is no doubt the classic slots have the big advantage of simplicity. You choose your number of coins – and as ever, you are losing out if you don’t play the maximum amount, you see the reels spin on to the one winning line and you get paid as and when they hit. The downside to these games is the same as their selling point – the simplicity can get a little dull when it’s just spin, spin and spin again.

What does help them maintain their popularity is that it is very easy to determine when you have won or not – in contrast to trying to track 25 paylines – it does make watching the reels that little bit more exciting.

The best classic slots do avoid this – the “Millionaire Genie” slot on Littlewoods Casino has a couple of good features to go with a giant progressive jackpot. It actually pays you out if you completely miss the pay line and have three blanks. This reward for “failure” is very therapeutic! it also offers a bonus scratchcard game so there is a slight echo of the more complicated play of video slots. It also has a wild symbol as well to increase prizes.

While classic slots will never have the “all singing, all dancing” feel of cutting edge 3D video slots, there is still a place for their more straightforward game play.
