Beginners Guide To Online Gamling

Your first visit to an online casino

First, make sure that you have the right gear: a valid credit card, a PC, and an Internet connection. If you only have a Mac or Web TV, you are unfortunately going to struggle with very limited choices. You can try Slotland who offer a small number of games but very high paying jackpots.

Choose a Casino

Pick the casino you find most appealing (we offer many throughout the site and feature some real bargains on this page!).

For a sneak peak at the casinos games, go to the “preview” page on the casinos web site. When you find a casino you like, go to the casinos “download” page. The casino may offer more than one software version, so select the version you prefer. Enter your e-mail address so that you can receive a key code that you will need later to unlock the software the first time you run the program. Click the “download” button, but remember to take note of where you choose to save the file on your hard drive so you can find it later! When the download is complete, find the file in the directory where you saved it. Double-click on the file icon to run the setup program, which will guide you through the installation process. Just respond to the questions and choose where to store the casino program on your hard drive. Check your e-mail to see if you have received a key code. If not, wait another 5-10 minutes. You will need this key code to initially unlock the casino program.

Start the casino program. Enter the key code you received by e-mail in the indicated field. (Don’t worry, you will only need to do this the first time you run the program.). To practice the games just for fun, choose “For Fun” when you start the casino program. Then select the game you wish to try on the main menu. If you are unfamiliar with a game, you can always refer to the “Help” section for game rules and a few helpful hints. If you have already gotten a feel for the games and sense that luck is on your side, choose to play “For Real.” Register to become a casino member by filling out the form and clicking the “Ok” button. Proceed to the casino “Cashier” to deposit betting money into your casino account. There are usually several deposit methods available, so choose the most convenient. This process can take a bit of time because the online casino operates with great security (mainly to protect you!). With money in your account, you are now ready to pick your favorite game and play to your heart’s content.

If you have a question or should encounter a problem, contact the casino’s support department by e-mail, fax, or phone. You will find this information on the casino’s web site on the “Contact” page. Live help is also a feature on many casinos (it’s like a chat feature).

Cashing Out

When you are finished playing for the time being, your betting money can be safely stored in your casino account until your next gaming session. If you wish to cash out some or all of the money stored in your casino account, go to the “Cashier” and click on “withdrawal.” Select a withdrawal alternative and follow the instructions.

Although the lack of free drinks at a virtual casino is a drawback, there are several good advantages to gambling on the Internet:

Instead of free drinks, you can get free cash (is this a win or what!).
You can play in your pajamas.
You can play 24/7.
No need to travel.
You can insult the dealer as much as you like.
You can go to the bathroom in the middle of a game
NO PARKING PROBLEMS
NO POSSIBLE VEHICLE THEFT !

Hotel Casino Hints:

Remember that you probably play in the “For Fun” mode differently than when you play with real money. Your playing style may change, but the games and odds remain the same.
When you cash out, be prepared to wait a while before you get your money. The length of the wait depends on the efficiency of your postal service, where you live, and the withdrawal method you choose. If you run into any problems or the wait seems unreasonably long, get in touch with the online casino’s support service. Remember, these people were hired to help you, so don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Armed with these tips, you are ready to log on and enjoy the wonderful world of Internet gambling.

Good luck, and let the games begin
