Here at Jackpot Capital online casino, we have said many times that gaming on our superb mobile platform means that you can take a real vacation instead of spending yet another long weekend at a land-based casino. Here we would like to talk about how exercising your Jackpot Capital Casino login for mobile, you open up a vast world of travel excitement and fun.
Why Should I Stop Going to Land-based Casinos?
Here is a “short” list of reasons why you should stop going to land-based casinos:
- It costs a lot of money and is a huge hassle to travel to a land-based casino.
- Land-based casinos are no longer the inexpensive weekend getaway they once were.
- Even the buffets have gotten outrageously expensive.
- Land-based casinos try to confuse players by having no clocks or windows.
- Land-based casinos try to confuse players by offering free alcohol.
- Land-based casinos pay out less in slots.
- Many land-based casinos pay out less in blackjack and video poker.
- Land-based casinos in the United States offer only American Roulette with a much higher house edge than European Roulette that Jackpot Capital offers.
- Online casinos such as Jackpot Capital offer great promotions for deposit and no deposit bonuses and free spins.
- Online casinos offer excellent mobile gaming platforms so you can “take the casino with you” instead of travelling to one.
So, we have established that online casinos such as Jackpot Capital offer better casino gaming than do land-based casinos. What, then, will you do with the time and money you save by not traveling to a land-based casino? The answer is that you will take “real vacations”.
What is a Real Vacation?
In our context, a real vacation is the opposite of a trip to a land-based casino. There are a large number of ways to take a real vacation. So, it occurs to us that we should make this a series of articles, perhaps one every two months, on various ways to have a real vacation.
Let’s start with the All-American road trip.
How Far Do I Have to Drive for it to be a Road Trip?
Of course, this is highly subjective. However, if you are going for a long weekend, you might drive two or three hours in one direction and the next day drive back on a different route. Even if you live in a very big metropolitan area, three hours is enough to get “into the country” and away from big city experiences.
In other words, you don’t have to drive long distances and spend many hours on the road to have a great weekend road trip extravaganza. And, of course, if you want to play some casino games in the evening, our great mobile platform is always at the ready.
Coasts or Mountains?
Actually, both are excellent destinations. In the United States, you might be more than a day from a coast, but you are usually pretty close to a lakes region. There are a lot of mountain ranges in the US, so you will be pretty close to a mountainous area.
The great thing about coasts, lake regions, and mountainous regions is that there is always something else to see and do, even if you have “been there” recently.
Let’s start in the center of the country, starting out in the St. Louis area.
North, South, East, or West
We will see that whichever direction you take from St. Louis, you will end up in a fantastic area for a long weekend getaway.
Going North
Here you are, less than an hour’s drive to O’Fallon, Missouri. This is still suburban St. Louis, but it has a definite country feel. There is plenty to do in O’Fallon. If you can start out on Friday morning, you can visit the O’Fallon Log Cabin Museum, which is well worth about one hour of your time, and from there you can take a short drive north to the Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge with hiking, boating, and a lot more.
Both of these great getaway destinations are closed on Saturday and Sunday, which is why we suggested starting out on Friday.
Take the First Road to Clarksville
We are headed for the famous Hannibal, Missouri, where Mark Twain grew up. On the way, there are a few very small towns. The best for road trippers is Clarksville with an Antique Center, a Lock Observation Point, and the Clarksville Riverfront Park with a long boardwalk with views of the ducks in the river and the locks.
The quaint shops on 1st Street offer small town charm.
On to Hannibal
Hannibal is just a short drive north of Clarksville. We recommend staying overnight in Hannibal and spending a good part of the next day there. You can pick and choose from many different attractions. Obviously, there are several attractions relating to Mark Twain including his boyhood home and
Becky Thatcher’s home, a very large mansion, a cave that you can explore in a group, a riverboat cruise, The Freedom Center based on the reality of slavery and its effects, wineries, Lover’s Leap where you will look but not jump with awesome views of the river, and a walking tour of the downtown area which has been as well preserved as it could be given the passage of time.
There is also a small community theater with only 90 seats that offers shows based on great literature.
Hannibal is a great ultimate destination for a long weekend road trip.
Will There Be Time for Mobile Casino Gaming?
Well, there might be later in the evening. Here is one of the ways mobile casino gaming is much better than land-based or desktop gaming. You can get very romantic with your significant other as a prelude to romance.
We think that during the day, you might find a few minutes as you rest from hiking and other footed adventures to play some casino games.
The larger point is that you can play the online casino games here at Jackpot Capital anytime. When you are away from home, take the mobile platform with you and, again, play at your leisure while also enjoying other wonderful experiences.
Real vacations are truly better than 72 hours at yet another land-based casino. When you have fully weaned yourself off of the land-based casino habit, you will have better gaming and much better vacations.
