Naturally, gamers at Jackpot Capital online casino have fun placing money on the outcomes of games. As long as you use your gaming time and bankroll responsibly, placing a small and reasonable bet on game outcomes is fun and entertaining.
Still, there are times when accessing our offer of unlimited free play is a wise choice.
We Encourage Gamers to Play All of the 400+ Games We Offer
When you do so over time, you will naturally end up playing quite a few games that you have not played before. This is especially true of gamers who join Jackpot Capital as an alternative to playing at a land-based casino.
A lot of gamers who come to Jackpot Capital from land-based casinos are surprised to find out that they can play all of our games with no waiting and no need to give up their “seat”. Of course, since we reside in cyberspace, there are no seats! No need to “give up” what doesn’t even exist!
How Do You Play This Game?
This is the quintessential question gamers ask when they open up a game that they have never played before. This might apply to blackjack, video poker, craps, roulette, Caribbean Poker, Banana Jones, and more.
You might ask, “Is it possible that a gamer has never played blackjack?” Responses might vary, so here are a few:
“No, I have never played blackjack.”
“I have played blackjack, but I would like to play it for free for a while before I put real money down on outcomes.”
“At land-based casinos, I almost always play slots.”
“I understand that I can enjoy a return to player rate of about 99.5% if I play blackjack correctly on every hand, so I want to practice in order to learn how to play correctly on every hand.”
Land-based Casinos Offer Blackjack that Wise Players Refuse to Play
The most common problem at land-based casinos is that, in order to achieve higher revenues to cover higher operating costs, some casinos pay out only 6-5 for a blackjack. Please do not be confused by the 6. Jackpot Capital pays 3-2 for a blackjack, and 3-2 is the same as 6-4. So, the 6-5 that a lot of land-based casinos pay out actually costs players a full dollar for every blackjack they get.
Another trick that a lot of land-based casinos so is to have the dealer hit on soft 17. This is 17 points with an ace. Hitting on soft 17 is better for the casino than having the dealer stand with soft 17.
Yet another trick many land-based casinos do is have the minimum bet at the blackjack table be higher than most players feel comfortable betting. But since they are at a land-based casino, and want to play blackjack, they bet $5 per hand instead of the $2 they would be more comfortable betting.
Free Play in Blackjack Teaches Gamers about Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks
There are plenty of online blogs and sites that push betting systems as sure-fire money makers. Betting systems are far from being sure-fire money makers. In fact, they are really bad ways to play casino games!
First of all, just think about it. If a betting system were a sure-fire way to win at blackjack, every casino in the world would quickly go bankrupt! The fact is that betting systems like the famous Martingale System do not take even short losing streaks into account.
The math tells us that if you use the Martingale System, you will eventually win back your original bet and no more! But, with even a short losing streak, you will end up making a very large bet just in order to (maybe) win your small original bet back.
Practice Helps Gamers Learn the Best Strategy in the Games of Skill
This applies especially to blackjack and video poker, which carry that big 99.5% return-to-player rate but have strategies that take some time to master. So, it behooves a gamer who is starting out with these games to play for a while in free play mode.
There are also strategies in craps, roulette, Caribbean Poker, and other games that are good to learn in free play mode.
You Can Play All of Our Slots as You Look for Slots You Want to Play Most
Gamers who come from the world of land-based casinos have a very short list of slots they like to play. At Jackpot Capital, there are about 200 slots. So, there might be 50 slots that a gamer will learn to enjoy playing the most, but they don’t know which 50 slots those are.
Also, there might be 100!
Playing a new slot (for you) in free play mode allows you to find out just how much you like any given slot enough to play it for real money.
Sometimes a Gamer Simply Wants to Keep Playing
We encourage gamers to set sound monetary budgets for online casino gaming. Some gamers set a daily bankroll, and others set a weekly bankroll. If you want to play our casino games, but have already reached your gaming budget for the day, you can continue playing in free play mode.
Free Play Adds a Significant Dimension to Online Casino Gaming Fun
Here we have to contrast online casino gaming with land-based casino gambling. People who travel to land-based casinos usually do so because the casino itself is the fun aspect. Land-based casinos have bells and whistles. Players at land-based casinos can whoop and holler at the craps and roulette tables.
Land-based casinos have extra entertainment such as exploding volcanoes.
Here at Jackpot Capital online casino, we fully admit that we have none of those superficial attractions for gamers. We have games. Lots of them. All of which (except progressives) you can play for free to your heart's content.
Jackpot Capital Pays out More
Our games pay more than the games at land-based casinos. Our slots pay out about 97% of all bets made, while the return-to-player rate at land-based casinos in slots is more likely to be 90% or less.
We pay higher rates in video poker and blackjack. In video poker, we pay 9-6 for a full house and a flush; land-based casinos increasingly pay out 8-5 or 7-5 for these hands.
In blackjack, we pay 3-2 for a blackjack; land-based casinos increasingly pay out only 6-5 for a blackjack.
The extra return-to-player rates at Jackpot Capital point to gamers choosing to play at our great online casino. Then, when you need to, you can play in free play mode for as long as you want. No land-based casino can offer unlimited free play.
So, free play at Jackpot Capital online casino is a useful and strategic gaming option.
