Here at Everygame Casino, we have thousands, even tens of thousands of gamers online at any given time. When it is night on one half of the globe it is day or evening on the other half. At a land-based casino, there will usually be some players on the floor well after midnight but not a large number. People do need to sleep.
So, we are free to give advice to gamers that some might think is not in our best interest. We feel that giving advice to gamers on how to thrive at our online casino is most definitely in our best interest.
Choose the Games with the Lowest House Edge
The two games that bets exemplify this advice are blackjack and video poker. If you use the best strategy on every hand, your return to player rate will be about 99.5%. That means that if you bet $100, and the odds break as they are expected to statistically, you will end the session losing 50 cents!
That is very good for the fun and entertainment value of an hour or so playing these games. Everygame Casino offers several variations of both blackjack and video poker. Strategy cards for each game are readily available online.
Understanding the Odds is Paramount
We have just spoken about blackjack and video poker where the odds between winning a session or losing the session are almost 50-50. But what about the odds in other games?
Here we have to talk first about slots. Slots are still the most popular game in the casino. The odds favor the house by about 3%. But there is a caveat. Slots come with what is called volatility. Three are high volatility, medium volatility, and low volatility.
Volatility Doesn’t Change the Odds and it Does Change the Odds
Volatility is a way to describe how the winnings are distributed. High volatility means relatively few winners with larger-than-average wins while low volatility has more winners each of whom wins relatively little on every winning spin.
The two slots might have the same return-to-player rate which is generally about 97%. More players will share in the winnings with a low volatility slot. So, volatility doesn’t change the odds as they are expressed in the return to player rate but volatility does change the odds of winning. Your chances to be among the winners is higher if you play a low-volatility slot.
Gamers Thrive when They Understand the Random Number Generator
Every game at an online casino is run by the random number generator. At a land-based casino, there are games that are played live. Blackjack, roulette, and craps are the three games that most gamers play live.
Understanding the random number generator is important because by its nature, it has no “knowledge” of what has transpired before.
In other words, the odds for every play in an online game has the same odds as the one before and the one after. There are no dominant patterns in online casino games. Therefore, you can’t say that a number in roulette is “due”.
Stay away from Betting Systems
Simply stated, these systems do not work. If they did, every casino would be out of business pronto. First of all, the random number generator has no memory. Even at land-based casinos, the roulette wheel or the dice have no memory.
What the betting systems fail to take into account is the inevitable short losing streak. A betting system such as the most popular one called the Martingale System calls for players to double their bet after every loss. Even after a three-game losing streak, as spins of the roulette wheel, roll of the dice, or hand loss, the amount you would need to bet in order to win back your original ante is too high to be reasonable.
Manage Your Time and Money
We talk about this very often from different angles. Here we are talking about having success playing at Everygame Casino online. Managing time and money well is yet another key to success. You see, we always encourage gamers to set reasonable time limits on gaming and reasonable amounts of money as your bankroll.
If you have taken a big deposit bonus, you might have a couple of thousand dollars in your casino account. That doesn’t mean that your bankroll for a Tuesday night session should be a thousand dollars. A hundred dollars is a lot more reasonable.
Similarly, even if you don’t have anything planned for the weekend, we encourage you to set a sound time limit on gaming and then find other fun, entertaining, important, and healthy things to do on the rest of the weekend.
Playing Smart Makes You Smart at Work
One example of playing smart is to play European Roulette instead of American Roulette. The house edge in European Roulette is half the house edge in American Roulette because American Roulette has the extra 00.
Always bet the maximum in video poker so you can collect the big extra payout for a Royal Flush. Always bet the maximum in a progressive jackpot slot because that is the only way to qualify for the jackpot if it comes up.
Stick with the outside bets in roulette. Understand how the betting works in craps.
Treat Tilt Like an Oncoming Cold
Some people pack vitamin C when they feel a cold coming on. For a lot of people, this works. Tilt is the bane of casino gamers. It is most prevalent in poker players because there are so many bad beats in poker. But even in the regular casino games, a near miss or a losing streak can trigger a tilt.
Whenever you feel tilt coming on, end the gaming session and get together with someone who can calm you down. We often say that playing slots is a calming kind of activity but if you are feeling tilt coming on, slots may be a poor cure.
Better to get together with a friend or a few friends and get the tilt out of your system.
