The new year has come and gone and most New Year’s resolutions have already been broken. Some people swore off cake for the new year but then their mother baked a delicious cake for Sunday dinner and “just a small piece” segued into more than a small piece.
Jackpot Capital would like to offer a few excellent resolutions for the new year and beyond. These resolutions all relate directly to playing our online casino games and beyond.
Resolution #1: Turn Gambling into Gaming
We often talk about responsible gaming. That involves many things that we will get into here. But the first thing is to redirect our approach to online casino games. If we are gambling, we may find it difficult to play responsibly. If we can change our approach from gambling to gaming, we have a much better chance to play responsibly.
Online casino gaming should be one of many excellent forms of entertainment you partake of.
Gaming is a Good Thing
We play games as often as we can. Even if mom and dad are pooped tired, they try to find the time to play a game with the kids. Grandparents play with their grandkids.
Playing sports can be highly competitive or it can be pure physical fun.
Online casino gaming is a form of gameplay even if you play for real money. The key to fun at Jackpot Capital online casino is to play within your means and to know every game you play before you play.
Resolution #2: Set a Reasonable Gaming Budget
It has become a given that online and land-based casino players need to set a budget for playing. At a land-based casino, this is a lot harder to do since, on a long weekend, you won’t find a lot to do besides play the casino games, eat, drink, and maybe catch an expensive show.
It is quite the opposite at Jackpot Capital and all good online casinos. Here, we are available to you every day. That means that you never have to play longer than you should or for more money than is reasonable.
Resolution #3: Set a Time Limit on Your Gaming
We naturally and instinctively set time limits on many things. There is something about playing casino games for real money that makes it just a little harder for gamers to set a time limit and to stick to it.
Setting a time limit eliminates many problems real money gamers have. You will stop when the time is up even if you are losing. You will avoid throwing good money after bad. You will avoid the Gambler’s Fallacy (capitalized because it is so prominent among gamblers. Remember that you have moved from gambling to gaming). The Gambler’s Fallacy is that a slot or other game is “due” to hit a big jackpot.
This is as false as it can be. The random number generator does not know what has happened in the last spin or in the last million spins. Every spin is unique in its eyes. No slot is ever “due” to hit a big jackpot.

Leave Time to Have Fun Doing Many Things
Setting a time limit on gaming will also free you to pursue many other interests. Some people say that they don’t have any interests. This is also not true; everyone has activities they like. Pursue them and made online casino gaming here at Jackpot Capital like a condiment on your overall evening and weekend activities.
Resolution #4: Learn Strategy and Tactics
In online casino gaming, strategy is simple: play well and hope to win. If you play well, and if you stay within your preset time and money allowances, you will never lose a great deal and you might finish a long-term gaming project on the winning side.
There are many good tactics to end up on the winning side. These resolutions fall under the category of good gaming tactics. Other excellent tactics are learning the best statistical way to play every hand in blackjack and video poker. In these two great games of skill, a tactic would be to play only 9-6 video poker and only 3-2 blackjack.
We pay 9-6 in video poker for a full house and a flush while many land-based casinos pay only 8-5 or even 7-5. This difference is not at all slight from a tactical point of view.
Many land-based casinos pay only 6-5 for a blackjack. That means that you lose a dollar for every two times you get a blackjack. As a tactical measure, it often means not travelling to a land-based casino.
There are many reasons to play casino games online and the lower return to player rates is a big one.
Resolution #5: Sleep Better
This relates to your entire quality of life. People need enough sleep to function well at all times. Many gamers do not realize that they need good and plentiful sleep in order to enjoy online casino gaming and also to have success playing.
Sleep has been studied for a long time and scientists now know how important it is from the health standpoint.
Another reason that relates to online casinos as better for many or most gamers over land-based casinos is that land-based casinos give away vouchers for the buffet. After eating heartily at the buffet, everyone gets tired as their body works to digest the food. At home, you can slow down after a big meal but at a land-based casino most plyers go back to the casino floor.
That’s where being too tired to make good decisions eats away at their bankroll.
Resolution #6: Develop Mindfulness
This is the ability to stay calm even when under stress. Needless to say, mindfulness is very important in our very stressed world. Online casino gaming presents itself as a short, frequent interlude in which you can have fun and be entertained playing casino games.
However, like anything else you do, casino gaming can cause more stress especially if you hit a losing streak. Losing streaks are as inevitable in casino gaming as it is in any game or sport where people do not control the outcome. Even the favorite kids’ board games have winning streaks and losing streaks.
In poker terms, a player who has lost a big pot in a very unlucky manner is said to have suffered a bad beat. Mindfulness allows poker players to accept the bad beat and go on. Without mindfulness, the player might tilt.
Tilt simply means being angry and allowing oneself to make decisions that they would not make if they were not tilting. We spoke about throwing good money after bad. People who tilt do exactly that.
One way to calm down during a losing streak is simply to stop putting real money on the outcomes of the games. Jackpot Capital offers unlimited free play. We do so in order to give players an outlet when they hit that inevitable losing streak.
Jackpot Capital Wishes Everyone a Happy, Peaceful, and Healthy Year
When we wish happiness, peace, and good health to gamers and everyone else, we realize how truly minor online casino gaming in in the vast scope of things. We truly hope these resolutions will help you achieve the happiness and good health you and we all deserve.
