Online casinos and internet gambling portals are forever coming up with press releases to garner some attention from the news-reading online gambling crowd. Platinum Play Casino, which is one of the most popular sites in the renowned Fortune Lounge Group of online casinos, is a name often seen in the news. Most recently, Platinum Play has been drawing attention to the "strategy" and playing guides published on their website.

The reason I say "strategy" in parentheses, is because despite the fact that Platinum Play's most recent press release mentions helping out players with Baccarat strategy, there is no such section in their Baccarat Guide. Perhaps they were alluding to increasing one's chances of winning via more general knowledge about the game of Baccarat? It's true, nonetheless. What is it they say - Knowledge is Power? While I fully agree with this statement, the bottom line is that Baccarat really doesn't even offer an opportunity for strategy, other than being the Banker and bettering on the Banker Hand most of the time.

In fact, the only casino game that Platinum Play publishes strategy for is Blackjack, which most people know, is a casino game fertile for Casinos Edge lowering strategy. Specifically, Platinum Play offers a Basic Strategy Card, which is more than most online casinos would even think of offering. If you want some insider tips on other strategy-based games like Video Poker and Craps, you'll need to look elsewhere. However, if you simply would like to know more about the games offered at Platinum Play, including how to navigate them once inside the software platform, Platinum Play's game guide is a helpful tool.

Covering all of the game types available on the Microgaming-powered Viper platform of 250+ casino games (Video Poker, Slots, Keno, Craps, Baccarat, Roulette, Blackjack, Progressive Jackpots and more), Platinum Play's game guide is a helpful tool for the novice gambler or for anyone unfamiliar with Microgaming's playing controls on the user end.

All things considered - that is - welcome bonuses, promotions, player rewards and tournaments - Platinum Play Casino is the #1 rated Microgaming Casino here at OCS. See our Microgaming Casinos page or our Platinum Play Casino Review for more information.
