Every day, many new gamers sign up to play at Jackpot Capital online casino.  There are many reasons why gamers choose Jackpot Capital.  One is that we make a strong effort to help gamers succeed and win some money.  One way we do that is by offering bonuses from the Welcome Bonus to our regular promotional bonuses.

Another way is by writing these many blogs.  Here we will talk directly to new gamers with a few tips designed to help them “get around” the casino.  Even if you are experienced in the ways of the online casino circa 2023.

Why Should I Play at an Online Casino?

There are many reasons to play at an online casino.  They include convenience, comfort, more games, better return to player rates, bonuses, and more.

Before we go into a little detail on these reasons, we need to take a step backward and ask why we should stop playing at land-based casinos.  After all, a lot of our new gamers here at Jackpot Capital come from land-based casinos.

Land-based Casinos and Online Casino Have Only the Games in Common

This is an insight that even long-time online casino gamers have either forgotten or never realized.

Here are some of the reasons why the two types of casinos have only the games in common.  The list will help direct new gamers toward online casinos, hopefully to Jackpot Capital.

  1. Land-based casinos are not available whenever a gamer wants to play.
  2. Land-based casinos have such high operating costs that they return a lot less money to players.
  3. Land-based casinos don’t have clocks or windows so players lose track of time.
  4. Land-based casinos ply players with free alcohol which dulls the senses and causes players to make mistakes.
  5. Land-based casinos give some players free vouchers to the buffet where the plyers tend to overeat and get tired as they digest the food.  This leads players to make mistakes.
  6. It costs money to get to a land-based casino.
  7. It is psychologically difficult for many land-based casino players to sample many games at the casino.
  8. Time and money management are a lot harder at a land-based casino.
  9. The atmosphere at a land-based casino is all about gambling.

Convenience and Availability are Synonymous with Each Other

Air travel has become a veritable nightmare.  Driving can be very expensive.  Hotels are not cheap.  All of these point to online casinos as by far more convenient.

With mobile having taken the lead by far in online casino gaming, availability has expanded exponentially in the favor of online casinos.  This is so easily demonstrated that many land-based casinos now offer a mobile platform so players can continue playing in their hotel room.

The Ability to Stop is a Sub-category of Convenience and Availability

First, we always encourage frequent, relatively short gaming sessions.  Aside from that, if you start playing online and you hit a losing streak, you can simply stop and get on with any number of other important or fun activities.

The important activities might also be fun!

After all, an online casino will still be available tomorrow, the next day, or the day after that.  Even next week is not too far away for an online casino gamer.

Once you leave a land-based casino, unless you actually live in the casino, there is no knowing when you will be able to return to that casino or if you will want to return to it at all.

How Much Does it Cost to Run a Casino?

The operating costs of an online casino are mostly in three areas:

  1. Maintaining the computers that keep track of everything.
  2. Offering and giving top dollar bonuses.
  3. Generally, returning money to gamers in the course of their play.

Land-based casinos have much higher operating costs.  They have to maintain the entire building.  They have to replace worn out carpets, light fixtures, table tops, cards, dice, and so much more.  Land-based casinos have to accommodate for small earthquakes that no one feels but that alter the balance on the casino floor and affect the roulette wheel.

Land-based casinos have to employ many more people just to run the casino, the hotel, the restaurants and pubs, and the theater.  Online casiunos are compiter intensive while land-based casinos are labor-intensive.

So, the Return to Player Rates Differ between Casinos

Land-based casinos have a few ways to lower the return to player rates in some games:

  1. They can calibrate the random number generator in slots to return about 90% to players instead of the 96-97% that is common at Jackpot Capital and all reputable online casinos.
  2. They often will pay 6-5 for a blackjack.  This contrasts to the standard 3-2 for a blackjack that Jackpot Capital follows.
  3. They pay 8-5 or even 7-5 for a full house and a flush in video poker instead of the standard 9-6 that Jackpot Capital pays.

Where Did All the Windows Go?

Land-based casinos have other tricks up their sleeves to get players to gamble instead of to game and to play far too long and when they are not in playing condition.

There are no windows or clocks at a land-based casino.  This works wonders!  It causes many players to underestimate the time.  It gets players to stay on the casino floor long after they should have gone to sleep.  Tired players make mistakes!

These casinos also have no clocks.  But everyone has a cell phone these days, you might say.  A lot of players leave their cell phones in their hotel rooms when they go down to gamble.  So, no clocks has the same effect as no windows.

Would You Like a Drink?

Yes, we would.  I’ll take it after I finish playing!  The yes is very common at a land-based casino.  The waiting part is rare indeed.  But at an online casino, with short sessions, it is easy to wait a few minutes before having that drink.

Land-based casinos also offer vouchers for free meals at the buffet.

Both of these ploys reduce players’ cognitive function.  Alcohol, as we all know, can cloud the mind.  A big meal at the buffet will cause the player to become drowsy.  In both of these cases, players tend to make very costly mistakes.

What Else Does Jackpot Capital Want New Gamers to Know?

Here are a few tips for new gamers.  These tips will serve you well as you become familiar with online casino gaming.

  1. Take it slow. There are so many games at Jackpot Capital and we suggest that you try them all out.  It takes time to play every game so try to take it slow.
  2. Become familiar with the banking arrangements at any online casino.
  3. Become determined to learn and use the best strategy in the games of skill such as blackjack and video poker.
  4. Read one or two articles in the blog every day.  The articles are there to help you get the most fun and enjoyment from online casino gaming here at Jackpot Capital.
  5. Read the terms and conditions.  They are very detailed.  We have tried to make them as readable as possible.  The terms and conditions are the bylaws of the casino so we really hope all of our gamers read them.
  6. Call our customer service office with any question at all or just to talk.  We want you to feel that we are there for you at any time of day or night!
