Casino choice guide

After some researches lead by me on online casino ( Review on Russian online casino for example) I have decided to write the guide for people looking for hazardous adventures in Internet Casino.

How to choose online casino to the beginning player ? On what it is necessary to pay attention at a choice ? What will be a determinative for reception of positive experience of game in online casino?
So. How to "choose Internet casino". A question complex enough only firstly. Having visited about ten sites of online casino you at once will note the basic general features and sections, and also will see the most important conditions and features for yourself of each casino.

1) Site of the Internet casino. Before a choice of any thing, I always and to all recommend easy examine it. And to examine its most visible parts. Usually it is enough in 90 % of cases to solve, whether it is necessary to learn about this casino further, or to not spend time on it.
What should be on a site of online casino ? I list under the order:
- information on owners and ways of communication (contact us, about us)
- a trade mark of the country in which the casino is licensed
- a trade mark of the company manufactured games (can be exceptions)
- "games viewing" page, "help" page, "bonus info" page
Also site should have pleasant convenient and not cheap enough design, easily accessible information on conditions and restrictions between the player and a casino, and also easily accessible information on ways of contact to a support service.
2) Game casino software. Second important parameter at a choice of online casino is a kind of a casino software. Depending on "for what" you choose a casino, for constant game , or for casual rare entertainment, the kind of a casino will have crucial importance.
Game software of online casino differs on two important parameters: first is a kind of program downloadable , or not downloadable , and second - what company manufactured this software.
- Downloadable Internet casino - for the first it is necessary to download a casino downloader usually 150-300 kb , then download the basic program installation file. It differs on manufactured company, but is usual at a rate of from 1,5 Mb up to 12 Mb. After installation and unpacking of a casino file, it is necessary to register a casino account , and to enter in the game client. Usually in most installers some games are loaded by default. BlackJack, roulette and a couple of slot machines.
Disadvantages - necessity of their uploading, big size of a full set of a casino games, necessity of constant uploading of updatings.
Advantages - are not present necessity to download favourite game everytime , an opportunity to play offline on virtual money (Playtech,Bossmedia), convenience of using bank, account, help files as it is not necessary for each action to come into a browser.
-Not downloadable Internet casino - usually made with use of Java or Flash technologies . In many popular Internet casino not downloadable versions supplement the basic version of a game software. For game it is necessary to register casino account on a site , then to enter into it in a window of a browser, or on the site, or in specially opened new window with the flash-version of a casino lobby, where you can make the deposit, remove money and choose games.
Disadvantages - each time to play though in one game, it will be necessary for you to download all flash or java casino lobby, for fulfilment of the deposit you should leave a casino lobby, and to enter separately through a browser in cashier, quality, design and quantity of games in not downloadable versions considerably below, than in downloadable, it is impossible to play offline on interest.
Advantages - at low connection speed it is not necessary to wait long for loading of a file of a casino and loading big quantity of games, speed of yours Internet connection by uploading of additional games in the latent mode does not brake, it is convenient at irregular game in casino, when there is no necessity to hold the version in a computer.
Between flash and java-casino is not a lot of basic distinctions, but by my experience, flash casino much more conveniently and more high-grade than games written on java.
3) Manufacturers of a casino of a software. Now there about ten most popular manufacturers of Internet casino. Only having played in a casino with a software from each manufacturer you can choose, that is pleasant to you. For more detailed information i will write separate post about Manufacturers of Internet casino, where will be briefly described leaders of this branch and the basic features of online casino with their software.
4) Ways of the deposit/cashout money from a casino. For reception of positive experience from game in online casino , perhaps this factor has great value. Before to play a casino on real money you should very closely study section of a casino banking on a site of a concrete casino in which you are going to play. It will relieve you of unnecessary expenditure of time and will save up to you your precious nerves, that finally will necessarily affect and on your good.
5) Casino bonuses. For the beginning player I am not advise to choose Internet casino on the size of a free-of-charge bonus. But if you have decided to play on real money, and besides wish to receive a bonus on the deposit, or simply wish to try a casino without a depositary bonus very attentively, veeery attentively, read conditions and restrictions for each casino, for each bonus. In most cases, casino demand from the player of fulfilment of the certain quantity of rates (wager) before it will be possible to remove received bonus and deposit. That for you was not unpleasant news that after reception of a bonus you cannot take away the deposit though already for a long time has played in this casino, closely read conditions of each casino bonus.

Some Tips

For a long time wished to lay out the separate list of useful advice for online players. Online casino have the specificity, and it, certainly, it is necessary to consider at game. Not everything, that approaches in case of usual ground casinos can help with Online Casino.

General online casino provisions

Certainly, all underwritten is dictated by usual common sense, however many players for some reasons ignore these items.

• Study rules everyone new to you online casino before game. And even if it is already habitual for you - check up all last changes in rules.
• Use bonuses of a casino on a maximum. The main advantage of online casino - these "free-of-charge money" - bonuses so what for to refuse them? While you play with bonuses - you have advantage above internet casino. If you play without bonuses - casino has advantage above you.
• If you wish to receive not simply pleasure from game, but also to win … or to receive for the money a maximum of pleasure and game time - study base strategy for your favourite games of a casino! Certainly, these strategy at all do not guarantee to you a prize, but they will reduce advantage of a casino to a possible minimum, that, once again I shall repeat, will increase your chances of a prize and will prolong time of game in Internet casino>.
• Play only in popular casinos which have recommended in Internet. If online casino site does not cause trust in you and if there even no contact data - simply forget about it ! How to learn what casino it is possible to trust, and what are too doubtful? Read reviews and responses of players on profile sites (as , for example our group of blogs) and forums.

All it seems quite obvious, whether not so? But wonder, whether always you follow these rules? We shall go further away, and we shall consider more complex cases.

The general errors about the Internet casino

I repent, I did these mistakes many times too. However, beginners are most subject to similar errors only. With experience, in a head the general picture which any more does not allow the professional player to make these silly mistakes is built.

• There is no place to superstitions in online casino ! Your success is defined only by mathematics and your skills of game. All rest - the shamanism, not referring the rights on serious to it.
• The popular belief - that success of game in a casino depends on your current emotional condition. That is , if for mood at you bad - will lose. I dare to assure you, that it is full bosh. Though I (right at the beginning) most of all suffered from this error.
• Special case - " game on sense". When it seems, that the generator of random numbers of online casino has gone mad, and game goes somehow is supernatural improbably, many players "give weakness", and start to recede from unique mathematical-true base strategy. " Game on sense " - in 10 cases from 10 will lead you much more to the worst results, than game on the predetermined base strategy. Be not tempted with arrangements of panic mind, that unusual conditions demand unusual measures.
• Let's take, for example, so-called "loosing streak"- long strips of continuous failures. Absolutely fresh example from my own practice - recently in BlackJack in Goldfishka I have received a strip of 10 losing distributions successively. Whether it means that the casino plays dishonestly? In my opinion - no ! Yes guys , shit happens … And believe to me as to the skilled player in ground casinos - in online casino such " focuses of fate " too happen! Despite of everything, in Goldfishka (and in many other online casinos )I am in good plus. And all only because always played with mind, and did not give in to strong emotions.
