The number one nationality buying gold

The number one country that is buying gold is China. Its purchases are up by 6% of all the gold so far in 2018.

You can test gold with acid

This test is very simple and effective. However, we recommend not using this test on gold that you will sell for aesthetic value (gold jewellery). Simply drop 1 or 2 drops of hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid or nitric acid onto the gold item. Zero reaction means you are handling the real deal. A reaction means the item is likely gold-plated or contains a small quantity of gold.

You can test gold with a magnet

Gold is non-magnetic if you didn’t already know. If you use a strong magnet (like a neodymium magnet) over the coin, you might tell if you have the real deal. Simply hold the coin at 45 degrees. If it’s genuine, the magnet should gently slide off the coin down to the bottom.

September has been one heck of a month….

Even though this was one heck of a month, we have to close off September because if we don’t we won’t get to experience the rest of the year. While perusing the web, the writer saw a meme that had this caption, “All the months that end with “ber” are lit”.  So let’s rewind and see what made September lit.

New Games

RealTime Gaming gave 5 new awesome games guys. And trust us these game are just “lit”. For lack of a better word. The gameplay is amazing, the symbols are exquisite, graphics are on point and the music is wonderful. It’s like RTG knew that we had been craving for new games and they delivered.

Heritage Day

On the 24th we celebrated Heritage Day. And we know that we had promised you an article to that effect. However, we got so caught up in all the celebrations that we forgot all about. That’s just how “dope” the day was. We hope that all our fellow South Africa’s enjoyed the day as much as we did.

New Phones

Before we get in on iPhones new Phones, we can’t talk about September 2018 and not mention that weed got legalized in Mzansi. We personally think that that was the highlight of the month. The internet exploded with memes of the legalization of weed in S.A.
Now back to the heading, oh yeah, iPhone gave us 2 new phones. The iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. We are sure that all the iOS lovers already have their orders being shipped. With the iPhones, we got more battery life, a great camera, and a bigger screen to play online casino games on. That’s the complete smartphone checklist.

Tips to Win Blackjack

Split Aces or 8’s

Our first tip of the day is that when you have identical cards, split them. Not just any cards though, preferably the aces or the 8’s. By doing this you have 2 chances of winning. If you split our aces, you have a chance of scoring 21, and with the 8s, the worst possible is scoring 18.

Don’t Split 10’s or 6’s

In the first tip, we advised you to split the aces or the 8’s, this time we are telling you not to split the 10’s or the 6’s. With two 10’s you are too close to 20. So don’t split. And frankly splitting 6’s will give the worst possible hand.

Let the Dealer Bust

To bust is get cards over 21. So if the dealer has cards that need a value between 4-6, let them bust. You have nothing to lose.
