At Jackpot Capital we Turn Gambling into Gaming
Here at Jackpot Capital Casino, one of our missions is to turn wagering with real money on the outcomes of games, AKA gambling, into a more benign form of play called gaming.
This seems like a very daunting task as placing bets is the classic definition of gambling. Still, we feel that as an online casino, we are well suited to being able to achieve the seemingly impossible!
There are several “requisites” needed to turn gambling into gaming. Let’s take a closer look at a few of these requisites.
Play Online
Naturally, we would like everyone to play online at Jackpot Capital. As an online casino located in endless cyberspace, we are diametrically different than even the biggest land-based casinos all of which are limited by their walls!
This is far from a trivial matter. Because players at land-based casinos travel to the casinos at substantial cost, they feel that the only way to get their money’s worth is by playing as long as their eyes stay open.
Thus land-based casinos are emporiums of gambling. On the other hand, the easy access to Jackpot Capital and all other top online casinos means that we are places where the money wagered is incidental to the fun aspect of frequent, short gaming sessions.
This is one simple way that we turn gambling into gaming.
Land-based Players Play Bleary-eyed, Somewhat Drunk, and Hungry
Playing when too tired to make sound decisions is a natural aspect of gambling at a land-based casino where every moment of sleeping is thought to be time a-wasting. There is an interesting connection between being hungry and being too tired to make good decisions.
That is when the casino offers players a voucher for a free meal at the buffet. As a buffet is replete with many delectable foods and as the players are very hungry from their gambling efforts, players tend to eat more than they should and then return to the casino floor just as their digestive system is readying to deal with the excess food. The way a human deals with excess food is to divert a very large amount of energy to digestion. This causes the players to get drowsy from the effort to digest an overly large meal.
Thus a land-based casino will take a well-rested gamer and turn that player into a sleepy gambler!
Land-based Casinos Know the Value of Alcohol
These casinos have waitresses walking the floor looking for players to offer free alcoholic drinks to. One drink can alter a player’s perception of the game he or she is playing and often leads to players gambling when they should have stuck to gaming.
Some players get inebriated or simply drunk and still continue to play. In quick order, such a player becomes a gambler posthaste.
Gaming is Simply a Form of Entertainment
Online casino gaming can always remain a form of entertainment as gamers can set short time limits and modest monetary budgets. This has proven to be out of the reach of most players at land-based casinos as they already have a large sum of money ─ the cost of travel and hotel accommodations ─ in the “pot” so to speak.
Gaming at home is a form of entertainment for most gamers.
Avoid Falling for the Gambler’s Fallacy Trap
This trap states that a given outcome is “due” to happen. In games of chance, the Gambler’s Fallacy causes many gamblers to increase their bets when an outcome is “due” to hit.
A lot of money is lost following this line of betting.

Avoid Betting Systems
A corollary to the falseness of the Gambler’s fallacy is the belief that betting systems work. Most betting systems are exercises in following the Gambler’s Fallacy.
The most famous betting system is the Martingale which tells gamblers to double their bet after a loss. In an even-money bet, the Martingale System would have a player betting many times their original bet just to be able to profit by the sum of their original bet.
In other words, following this betting system turns gaming into gambling in the course of a very short losing streak.
Make Judicious Use of our Promotions
We offer a large number of promotions that no land-based casino can offer. These promotions are for deposit bonuses with a bonus rate of close to 100% and sometimes more. Often our deposit bonus promotions include free spins in select slots.
There is One Promotion that Online and Land-based Casinos Share
That promotion is for comp points. At least at land-based casinos, this promotion does not turn gamers into gamblers, but the land-based promotion has two basic flaws.
The first is that a player at a land-based casino may not have enough comp points to turn those points into casino credits and, thus, has to hold on to them until he or she visits that casino again which may be never!
The second flaw is that the points are accumulated on a land-based casino’s player’s card which the player has to remember to bring to the casino or lose all of those accumulated points.
Comp Points are Much Better at An Online Casino
The simple fact that online casino gamers can play almost every day means that their comp points continue to accumulate day by day. Furthermore, Jackpot Capital and all good online casinos keep track of gamers’ comp points as well as everything that happens for all gamers at the casino!
Slots and Volatility
Some people say that gamers should avoid slots. This way of thinking has flaws of its own. The first flaw is that gamers should keep volatility in mind when they play slots.
Slots are fun and fit into the definition of gaming as entertainment, but gamers need to understand volatility.
A high volatility slot means that fewer gamers will share in the winnings while a low volatility slot shares the winnings with a much larger group of gamers. Both slots might have the same return-to-player rate but the low-volatility slots will have a much larger group of players who win according to the return-to-player rate.
Always Make the Casino Accommodate you in Blackjack and Video Poker
Jackpot Capital and all good online casinos pay 3-2 for a blackjack and, in video poker, 9 coins for a full house, and 6 coins for a flush.
These are called 3-2 blackjack and 9-6 video poker. Land-based casinos have been paying 6-5 for a blackjack and 8-5 for a full house and flush in video poker for some time. These are two additional ways that land-based casinos are turning gaming into gambling!
The Bottom Line is Online
Although there are no actual lines in cyberspace, Jackpot Capital Online Casino goes the full mile to make online casino gaming the most enjoyable casino gaming possible.
