Hi! I have a little idea! Lets post here some words known only in gambling world, so we all can learn something from each others. All you have to do is to write one or more words with short explanation beside ( you can write some of the synonyms also) Doesn't have to be some complicated word, but also something like playthrough, withdrawal etc.. or not so famous sort of games (not the happiest explanation, but I hope you understand ) I'll start with a few : Bust - used in BlackJack game, when you get over 21 and lose Pass - To fold, not to bet Full House - used in Poker like a name for a hand which includes one pair and three of a kind Jackpot - used in Casino for big win on a Slot machine Trips - used in Poker, for 3 cards of a kind

The Essential Glossary of Online Gambling Terms You Should Know

Wow, awesome post mate, thank you! It has just been added to the AskGamblers Forum Gambling Dictionary. http://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/1828-gambling-dictionary-glossary/?p=80201

Hi Rint! Welcome to Askgamblers Forum. The problem with your message above is that it lacks commas and full-stops! Must include them next time for easier reading and comprehending, RInt. Anyway, here's my helping bits for you: Mega Symbol A symbol that occupies more than 1 position on the reels (see Spinata Grande). It can occupy 2, 4, 6, or 9 positions at a time, forming a huge symbol as compared to all other symbols. Level-based Play A game that has many levels of game play (see Aliens), progressing from Level 1, to Level 2, and so on. Shifting Reels A reel that shifts to the right, or to the left, in one direction only, for every new spin (see Robin Hood: Shifting Riches). Every Symbol in reel Self explanatory, referring to each and every symbol on the reel, or reels. Reels Hold A special feature in some games that allow a player to press the 'HOLD' button to stop that particular reel from spinning in the next spin. Can 'HOLD' one reel or many reels at a time, to create chances of more new wins in the next spin. Nudge Feature In some games, a Nudge feature is automatically activated whenever that designated symbol (usually a Free Spin symbol or an Expanding Wild symbol) appear in part or partly (not fully covering the whole reel) anywhere on the reels, to activate its special feature. Cascading Symbols 3 or more symbols that form a win on any payline, will explode, disappear from the reels, and new symbols will drop from above, to fill in the vacated positions (see Gonzo's Quest). Also known as Avalanche, Rolling Reels, or Free Falls. Stacked Symbols A symbol that occupies more than 1 position on that particular reel, can occupy 2 or 3 positions at any one time. This symbol can be any normal symbol, a Free Spin symbol or a Wild symbol, depending on each game. Re-spins A feature in some games whereby a re-spin of non-winning symbols is automatically given, whilst the winning symbols are held in position, to create chances of new wins. Re-spins end when no new winning symbols appear on the reels. Way Wins Way wins refer to the designated number of winning ways in any particular game, which can be 243 ways, 720 ways or 1024 ways. (P.S. Sharon darling, I guess all my explanations above can be included into the Vocabulary / Dictionary / Glossary thread too. )

Withdraw - This is when you actually manage to win at a casino and take out the funds you have won to a bank account / e-wallet etc.etc. Just thought I'd add this to the glossary because I've almost completely forgotten what it means

Ahhh, but there already is a thread called Gambling Dictionary/Glossary (started by me )... would be nice to transfer these terms there, as additions

Thanks for sharing rebecca123 and of course it is useful to beginners. You would be surprised how many people have no clue about casino glossary. I don't know if we already had similar topic somewhere but when I get time,I will check it out. Now, it would be interesting to learn more and if anyone have some casino related term, please, share with us.

Hahahah, 'casino funerals'! I like that.. I mean it's very smart. And definitely a decent addition to our gambling glossary!

Im playing casino games not so long and glad i found the casino glossary link you've posted rodger. It taught me new and more words to learn.
