Tips for Travelers Playing in Live Casinos

Land based casinos used to be some of the biggest tourist draws for a country, with whole cities like Las vegas and Macau popping up in the middle of otherwise barren deserts, solely to meet the tourist demand. Though nowadays the online world is challenging the traditional land based experience, and you can cozy up in a luxury hotel room for the same type of thrills.

Live casinos is a relatively new form of gambling which is a hybrid of online gaming and a land based experience; you don’t have to visit the physical site and can log in from your device, though it’s still played with real life dealers, against other real life humans, and the action takes place in real time.

So you could be in Sydney, while playing in Vegas, without having had to pay for (or sit through!) the flight!

If you’re considering trying your luck at a live casino while traveling, or joining a live casino in another country, from home, here are some of our winning tips and secrets.

Where to Play Online Bingo When Traveling Overseas

For many years, bingo has become known as a game played in retirement homes by seniors and middle-aged women. Though this stereotype is incorrect, and in many countries the game is more cultural than their (other) most popular ball sports; for instance, more money is spent every year in the UK on bingo tickets than it is on football!

Bingo is a game appreciated for its simplicity and social form, and around the world it’s played in pubs, drinking halls, cruise ships, and, in Italy, where it was invented, it’s still played over pizza every Saturday.

If you’re traveling, Bingo is also a really fun way to practice your language / number skills with locals. But with the closure of many land based bingo halls, can you still partake in the fun in the new digital era?

12 Reasons Travelers Will Love the PowerVision S1 – World’s Smallest Smartphone Gimbal

When it comes to travel essentials, there are none more important than your phone (your passport is strong competition though!). And when it comes to essentials for your phone, travelers need three main fundamentals; a sturdy phone case, headphones (because the whole plane doesn’t need to hear the soundtrack to Bridgerton), and a gimbal.

A gimbal is a handheld device that allows your camera to rotate smoothly along an axis, so you can take smooth travel video (without the camera shake). There are a million of them on the market, but only one which is truly worthwhile for travel.

The PowerVision S1 is a stylish and portable smartphone gimbal with easy magnetic mounting, AI tracking, gesture control for hands free recording, a built-in tripod, and a portable power bank with wireless phone charging, all packed into a compact device that fits in your pocket.

If you use your phone camera for travel photos and video, or take video calls when you’re abroad, the PowerVision S1 is a gamechanger. Here are 12 reasons you’ll love the world’s smallest smartphone gimbal.

​Tips to Finding an Online Casino When Traveling

Exploring a new destination, and all the adventure that comes with new sights, sounds, smells, and tastes is energising, and there are plenty of ways to stay entertained. But then there’s the time you spend in transit – actually traveling from point A to point B. And this is a lot less interesting!

There are plenty of ways to stay entertained during your downtime while traveling, especially now that the world has become more connected, and it’s easier than ever to travel with a WiFi connection. You can run with the more traditional passtimes, like reading a book, people watching, or doing airport yoga between the seats, or you can binge watch Netflix, scroll the hours away on social media, or fine tune your casino skills with online games.

Gambling has evolved throughout the world much since the first games of dice in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in 3000 BC. And while land based casinos are still a big tourist draw, online games are now also part of the lives of modern day tourists. But with this new online landscape, what are some of the considerations to finding an online casino when you’re moving through countries?

The Laptop Strap: Travelers Will Love This Camera Strap for Your Laptop

The Laptop Strap: Travelers Will Love This Camera Strap for Your Laptop

As a young traveler on my first flight trip, I made the mistake of taking a very bulky carry-on. I had no idea how narrow the aisles were on the plane and how tight the storage space would be underneath the seats. This made for a less than pleasant experience as my big laptop bag (which also doubled as my purse) overlapped onto the arm rests of passengers and embarrassed me all the way to my seat.

Thankfully I’ve learned so much since that first flight. As a writer, I need to always keep my laptop readily available (much like my partner, who needs to keep his camera ready as a photographer).

But more bags equals more problems, so 9 times out of 10 I just end up carrying my device in the crook of my arm. It was less than ideal, but it was better than bulky baggage, right? That is, until I discovered The Laptop Strap! It’s the perfect way to carry a laptop for any traveler.
