Playing one’s favorite casino games is arguably the best feeling in the world. The feeling is unique and unparalleled, especially if you are winning. The author of this article has been gambling for almost 10 years and professionally 3 of them. I visited fifteen casinos here in the UK, several in Monaco, an illegal one when on vacation in Greece and best of all — I spent two weeks in Las Vegas. Then I spent another week in Las Vegas a year later, which was just as great as the first time. But then I discovered online gambling and realized exactly how stupid I had been spending all the money on trips to the United States.
Of course, I heard about online casino games for real money before, but for whatever reason I always figured they were a scam and not worthy my attention. Besides, it was my belief that all these shows land casinos offer, great restaurants and hotels are all part of fun. It took time and personal experience to realize, that these shows are usually boring, restaurants are worse than the one across the street and staying in hotels is bad for my wallet. To say nothing of the noisy tourists all around you, drunk players and the often slovenly looking and acting staff. I spent almost as much money on my trips to Las Vegas as on gambling itself.
Those are actually the main reasons why more and more players every year prefer to play casino online for real money. Online gambling nowadays is just as fun as land casino gambling, plus it lacks all disadvantages. One can play favorite games from the comfort of his or her home, because the leading internet casinos have the widest selection of slots, roulette, blackjack, poker and other table games, bingo, casual games like keno and scratch cards. Quality of these games has immensely improved over the last few years, making them almost unbelievably bright and entertaining.
But probably the best part is online casino bonuses and mobile casinos. Never in all of my life I’ve been offered money for the mere fact of entering a brick-and-stone casino. On the contrary, they asked me to pay an entrance fee in London land casinos and they made me book a hotel room in Las Vegas. Imagine how surprised I was when after joining a real money casino online I was actually presented me with 100% deposit match and 20 free spins!
The main advantages of online casinos:
Playing slots online is virtually similar to playing them in land casinos. The only real difference (if we disregard the fact that you can play online slots anytime and anywhere, even on a tablet or a smartphone in a bus) is that they are of more types. London and Las Vegas casinos, just like any others, will offer only three-reel slots, while even the smallest online casino has 3-reel, 5-reel or even 7-reel slots with over 200 ways to win them. All in all, internet casino games real money always offer more.
What many like about slots is their flexibility in terms of bets size. It will not matter if the player has £20 or £2,000 — he will still find the perfect game. There are online slots with the lower limit of just 1 pence per spin. Playing games like this you will convert the £20 bankroll into half an hour of fun gambling. Unfortunately this way you will not win the top jackpot either, but it does not really matter to those who visit casinos for the bright emotions. With luck, one can win up to several hundred pounds. I personally once won £300 on my favorite Game of Thrones.
Modern online casino slots all have set payout percent of 96-98, which makes the players chances to win almost equal to the casino’s. The inbuilt Random Number Generators guarantee that all outcomes are random and the UK Gambling Commission monitors their activity.
High rollers will not feel left aside too. The highest known bet in online slots is £5 per line, which makes it £150 per spin. This is exactly the type of bet that gives a chance to win Mega Moolah or some other Progressive Jackpot. Last time I checked, Mega Moolah jackpot was over £6 million. Even if someone won it over this time, it is never less than a million. In my opinion, this game is one of the best in market, next to other Microgaming and NetEnt slots.
How to deposit and withdraw at online casinos
Deposits and withdrawals at online casinos are not that different than paying in an online shop. One can deposit and withdraw using Visa, Visa Electron and MasterCard credit cards, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and other online banking solutions. The money is then usually withdrawn to the very card or online wallet used for depositing. Minimal deposit will be a lot less than in a land casino, because they do not have to pay salary to hundreds of employees. By the way, this is what allows online casinos to provide bonuses for what I know.
The deposits are handled instantly, but withdrawals are often processed 1 to 2 days. This happens because the casinos analyze a player’s activity to guarantee he or she did not cheat and cleared all wagering requirements. Any leading casino will have a 24/7 customer support. So in case questions arise, the players can contact the support and receive a polite (always) and professional (in most cases) reply.
