Why The Spider in Spider Solitaire?

I had always enjoyed playing Solitaire. I remember years ago, pretty much when games first came to computers, I was at work with a new computer. It had three games: Solitaire, Minesweep and Worms and I would alternate with the three all day long (when I had no work to do of course). But I always came back to Solitaire. I guess it was because it made me feel nostalgic. It was the game I had played (off line of course) with my late grandmother every Saturday afternoon following a cup of tea and some cookies. Anyway, a lot has changed since then obviously. Computer - and mobile phone - games have come a long way. So when I heard of Spider Solitaire, my curiosity was peaked. Why the Spider in the title I wondered?

Reap Benefits of Spider Solitaire If You Like Solitaire

I soon found out that Spider Solitaire was pretty much like the computer Solitaire I loved those years ago but with a real edge. The same rules apply vis-à-vis removing all the cards from the screen but you have 10 different piles, at least in this version. You have to remove them all from the screen after you have organized them in suits and numbers. There are two difficulty levels in this mobile game (easy which uses one suite and difficult which uses two). I find that I can finish a round in around 15 minutes if I do the easy level and so far about 40 minutes on the hard level, but that might just be because I'm not so accustomed to it yet. I can also pause the game whenever I want (which I do when my bus pulls up on the way to work). I like the graphics in this mobile phone game much more than I liked them on the basic solitaire computer based game. I wonder why it is called Spider Solitaire though?surely spiders are 8 legged (rather than 10) creatures, but maybe the creator of Spider Solitaire once saw a 10 legged spider!

Difference Between Spider Solitaire and Regular Solitaire

The biggest difference (and edge) I found between Spider Solitaire and its regular counterpart is probably HOW the cards are dealt. With the former, you get a whole row of cards dealt every time; but with regular solitaire it is just one card. This makes the game a little more challenging and way more exciting. You are less in control, have to place more emphasis on strategic development and have to use your brain much more in Spider Solitaire. Perhaps that is another reason it got its name - that is what you have to do when you have to deal with a spider in the bath - at least, that is what I have to do!

Win Real Money Playing Free Slots

Please read the headline again: "Win Real Money Playing Free Slots." It doesn't make sense, does it? Everyone knows: you have to risk money to win money. But everyone also knows: there is an exception to every rule. I have found the exception to this rule, and now I would like to share it with you.

This unique opportunity is called the "$100,000 Free Slots Tournament," and it is found at All Jackpots Casino. There is really not much I need to say; the name pretty much says it all. This is an online slots tournament. It is giving away $100,000 in prizes, including a $50,000 first prize and hundreds of smaller prizes. And it is free to enter and play - no gimmicks or hidden fees.

The All Jackpots website gives all the details of how to register and play in the tournament, so I won't go into that here. What I will tell you, and what All Jackpots for some reason forgot to mention, is how much fun it is.

The $100,000 Free Slots Tournament involves playing the Tomb Raider slot machine game. This is a great game, and a lot of fun in any event. Tomb Raider is a 5-reel, 15-payline, online slot machine. It all revolves around super-archeologist Lara Croft and her adventures and exploits. The slot machine has symbols of Lara herself - armed and sexy - and Tomb Raider symbols, Idol symbols, Tiger symbols, and others. It has scatter symbols and wild symbols, and two special features: the Free Spins bonus game and the Tomb bonus game. All in all, it is a great slots game that I would recommend even without the $50,000 to be won.

So there you have it: $50,000 to be won, nothing to pay, and a lot of fun to boot. That's what I call a winning combination.

Test Spinach Strength With Popeye Kart Racing

When I was a youngster, I had always enjoyed Popeye the sailor man, pretty much as well as all the other cartoons I could get find on the TV. But then I grew up and life took over and I guess I just had less time for these cartoons. But then as I grew up even more and I started having more ?toys? (those boys and their toys), I realized that I could recreate some of my childhood fantasies and fun times right on my mobile phone. So I was pretty thrilled to find Popeye Kart Racing. And since the game was rated 8.8 out of 10, that was even more appealing to me. The price was right so I decided to download it immediately. And boy was I glad I did! In Popeye Kart Racing all of my childhood enjoyment of the cartoon came back and I even had a craving for spinach (which my veggie loving girlfriend was thrilled by). I wanted to achieve that Popeye strength so that I could successfully race to the finish line. I chose to be Popeye of course (although you can choose from all the program's different characters); I got in my kart and started racing as fast as possible to the finish line. Popeye Kart Racing is a bit like virtual bumper cars from the amusement park, but a lot more fun (well at least it is for me) as you can go fast like crazy! You have to watch out for the other karts though because they go pretty fast too so it really is a case of who has eaten more spinach that day. And then I realized what a great idea the whole Popeye show was ? getting kids to eat their greens, as it sure was getting me to eat mine, and in that realm I'm usually no better than a 5 year old! Popeye Kart Racing is more than just a race though as there are a ton of different things that you can pick up along the way that will increase your power and help you to go faster. But watch out for your opponents ? there are all sorts of weapons they can have which can destroy you. Popeye Kart Racing sure is a fun game to play and very nostalgic too.
