One of the things that we are most proud of is that Jackpot Capital Casino is free of scams. There are some scams that occur at other online casinos and some scams that online casinos share with land-based casinos, but most of the scams come from land-based casinos.
We can’t put the scams in any hierarchy since one player’s biggest scam will be a non-starter for another player. So, we will go through the list in no specific order of prominence or effectiveness.
Free Alcohol
This is a scam that gets talked about a lot by people who have suffered the consequences or people just looking out for land-based casino players. First thing to notice is that only a land-based casino can offer free alcohol.
We always encourage gamers to hold off on the alcohol until after the gaming session is over.
The problem with free alcohol at a land-based casino is that it is most decidedly not free! Alcohol clouds the brain. In more technical terms, it reduces one’s cognitive function. In short, a player who has a drink at a land-based casino will usually be affected by it enough to start making poor decisions.
If the cocktail waitress sees that one drink hasn’t had the desired effect, she will offer the player another free drink. This can go on for a while and cause many gaming mistakes. The mistakes might be to bet more, to play on longer, to make poor decisions in blackjack or video poker, to name a few of the most common.
Too much alcohol might make a person unpleasant to be around, which affects all the other players on the floor. The house has to use discretion when a player gets out of hand. The house actually wants players to get just enough out of hand that they lose a lot more money.
When a drunk or somewhat inebriated player stops gambling and just makes a nuisance of themselves, then the pit bosses and security people get them to leave.
No Windows and No Clocks
These are age-old tricks of land-based casinos to throw off players’ inner sense of time. A player who thinks it’s late in the evening might be very surprised to find out that it is really very late at night and will soon be morning.
Players at land-based casinos who have played way too long might sleep a little and then will get up and head for the casino again because they feel that they have to get their money’s worth. This creates tired players, and tired players make a lot of errors in judgment.
We always advise gamers to play only when they are well-rested. Being tired leads to many mistakes at any casino. So, get good and proper sleep.

Some say that with smartphones, everyone knows what time it is. The fact is that a lot of players leave their phones in the room since they plan on gambling, not surfing. So, no clocks lead to time dysphoria.
No windows also trick players into thinking that it is much earlier than it really is. We are quite sure that 100% of online gamers here at Jackpot Capital have clocks and windows and know what time it is at all times.
Furthermore, since Jackpot Capital is always available, we encourage frequent and relatively short gaming sessions. If you want to play for one hour, it will be easy to track the time.
Free Food
At a land-based casino, a player will often be offered a free meal at the buffet. People overeat at a buffet, and that leads to people being tired and mentally sluggish as they try to digest that amount and that crazy combination of food.
How Much is a Blackjack Worth?
Since land-based casinos have a lot of overhead and need increased revenues, a lot of them have started to pay only 6-5 for a blackjack. Jackpot Capital pays 3-2 as we should. Many land-based casinos also have started to pay only 8-5 or 7-5 for a full house and a flush in video poker. We pay 9-6, as we should.
A lot of land-based casinos now calibrate the random number generator to return only 90% or less of all money bet in slots. We calibrate our slots to return about 97% of all money bet.
These low payouts at many land-based casinos can be called a scam since no one HAS to go to a land-based casino at substantial upfront cost only to have the rug pulled out from under them in the form of low returns.
American Roulette
In American Roulette, there are 0 and 00 slots. In European Roulette, there is only a single 0 slot. The difference is that the house edge in American Roulette is twice the house edge in European Roulette.
American casinos cannot offer European Roulette because it takes up too much space where slots should be. Here at Jackpot Capital, we do offer European Roulette.
Guaranteed Wins
There are a lot of people selling guaranteed-to-win betting scams. All betting systems fail. If any one betting system were to succeed, it would mean the end of casinos! So, rest assured that betting systems do not work.
Now, a betting system is different than a betting strategy or a playing strategy. With correct betting and playing strategy in blackjack and video poker, you can have a return to player rate of about 99.5%.
Why Don’t These Systems Work?
Betting systems don’t work because they don’t take into account small, frequent losing streaks. In every endeavor, be it casino gaming, sports, business, board games, ad infinitum, people experience losing streaks. You won’t get good cards as often as you would like.
In video poker or blackjack, in the long run, the losing streaks and winning streaks cancel each other out to create a long-term win rate of 99.5%.
With betting systems, if you have a losing streak of just a few hands or spins, you will be asked to make a wild bet of a lot of money just to recoup the first bet you made.
