Everyone enjoys a good time. Here at Everygame Online Casino, we know that there are many, many ways for people to have a good time in addition to playing our 300+ games! Our goal is for all of our gamers to end a session with the statement, “now that was fun!”
Here are a few tips that will help you get to that end-of-session statement!
See Gaming as a Form of Entertainment
People have been entertaining each other since the dawn of time! In modern times, entertainment is often part of a responsible budget. We budget for all manner of things from food to clothes to vacations. Entertainment is one of the many line items we try to set a sound budget for.
When we see online casino gaming as a form of entertainment, we decide to delegate a given amount for the fun of playing. If $100 a couple of times a week is fair, then that can be your gaming budget. This will easily prevent you from suddenly earmarking $500 for a gaming session.
If $100 is too much, you can always lower the budget to, say, $25 and the frequency to two or three times a week.
Think like a season ticket holder in Major League Baseball. When a season’s ticket cost less than $1000 for 81 home games, a lot of people bought these tickets. Now a season’s ticket might cost $5000! Fewer people buy season tickets at these prices; instead, they budget for a few games each year!
Understand the Difference between Return to Player Rate, House Edge, and Volatility
People tend to think that if the housed edge is 4%, the return to player rate is 96%. This is true but it is only part of the story.
In video poker and blackjack, the return to player rate is about 99.5% assuming the gamer uses the best strategy on every hand. The best strategy for every hand is knowable because of the ability of powerful computers to analyze millions of hands.
In slots, however, there is another element involved: volatility. This term refers to how many players share in the return-to-player rate and how big the “average” winning spin is. A slot with high volatility will have relatively few winning spins and each winning spin often is worth a relatively large sum. A slot with low volatility will have many winning spins most worth relatively little money.
The raw return to player rate may be the same for a slot with low volatility and one with high volatility but the number of players who share in the winning might differ greatly.
Understand How Online Casinos Offer Greater Rewards to Gamers
This is a corollary to the section above. Land-based casinos cannot afford to give a lot of floor space to blackjack and video poker because the return to player rate in these games is a “pure” 99.5% if the player plays correctly.
Land-based casinos also try to lower the return to player rate in video poker by paying only 8-5 (8 coins for a full house and 5 coins for a flush) instead of paying 9-6 as we do here at Everygame Casino. In addition, many land-based casinos pay only 6-5 for a blackjack instead of paying the standard 3-2 for a blackjack that we always pay!
These changes in the payout schedules reduce the return to player rates by several percentage points, making it virtually impossible to have a winning session in these games under these payout changes.
Variety is the Spice of Life
It is so much easier to play 300 or more games at Everygame Casino than it is to play 300 or more games at a land-based casino. We suggest that gamers develop a deep and abiding appreciation of the gaming flexibility they have at Everygame Casino and all other top-level online casinos.
There is simply too much waiting at land-based casinos for players to get to play even a small percentage of the casino’s games in the few hours or days they will be at the casino.
There is never any waiting at all at Everygame Casino so, over time, gamers can play every one of the games we have on offer. Playing a wide range of games is a big part of the fun side of online casino gaming at Everygame.
We also offer demo play so you can get used to a game before you place a bet on the game’s outcome.
Play Correctly
Since we can accommodate many thousands of players around the clock, we have no incentive to try to trick gamers into playing incorrectly. We urge gamers to play correctly at all times. Playing “correctly” adds to the fun side of online casino gaming since it implies that there are also times when we advise gamers not to play!
No land-based casino will discourage players from playing. They try to trick players into playing incorrectly! Here are a few ways land-based casinos try to get players to play incorrectly:
- No windows or clocks. This tricks players into thinking that it is a lot earlier than it really is. The result is that players play when they are too tired to make good decisions.
- Free alcohol. Even one or two drinks will lower a player’s cognitive ability enough that he or she will begin to make poor decisions. We often tell gamers to wait until after the gaming session is over to take so much as a sip of alcohol.
- 3. Free vouchers for the buffet. Most people overeat at a buffet. When a player who has just had a very large meal on an empty stomach, his or her body will be working overtime to digest the food. That makes the player tired. Tired players make poor gambling decisions.
- 4. Land-based casinos in the US offer only American Roulette. This version of roulette has 0 and 00 and the house edge is double the house edge in European Roulette. Everygame Casino offers both American and European Roulette.
In blackjack and video poker, it feels good knowing that you have played correctly. The bottom line on a session in video poker and blackjack will almost always be a few dollars to the right or the left of the break-even mark.
Thus, playing these great casino games is an exercise in pure gaming fun since the risk is so small.
Banana Jones, Fish Catch, Caribbean Poker, and Pai Gow Poker are Beyond Fun!
Banana Jones is a game based on Chutes and Ladders and it’s a spoof on the Indiana Jones movies. Fish Catch is a deep-sea fishing game that gamers can play with and against gamers from all over the world.
The three Caribbean Poker variations have a major twist that adds fun and excitement to the games: the dealer has to have a minimum hand to win the bets! A gamer can win his or her ante bet with a worse hand than the dealer if the dealer doesn’t qualify!
Finally, Pai Gow Poker involves getting seven cards and making a two-card hand and a five-card hand! There are many cases when a player will break up a big five-card hand in order to have a much better two-card hand!
