Here at Jackpot Capital online casino, we strive to bring great games and a great gaming experience to our players. This may seem simple but it isn’t. People have a tendency to focus on the negative while we would like everyone to focus on the positive.
So, let’s see if we can’t present a few good tips for getting more enjoyment from online casino gaming!
Learn to Savor the Moment
Savoring a moment is a skill that people have to learn. In terms of gaming, savoring the moment means accepting that you will play our casino games for the sheer fun of doing so. Very few gamers hit a big jackpot but a very large number of gamers here at Jackpot Capital have taken the advice we have given in previous articles and get a lot of entertainment fun from gaming.
How Can I Savor the Moment?
The first thing to do is to slow down. Slots spin very fast and if you play slots quickly, they zoom by and you get very little feeling about what happens. One of the big advantages of online casino gaming is that it is so easy to go from game to game.
So, if you are playing a slot about ancient Egypt and Cleopatra is a character in the slot, make a mental note to learn something about the real Cleopatra. We are not talking about learning a doctoral dissertation’s worth of information. Just enough to bring Cleopatra to life in your head.
If you do that, you will find yourself often seeing in a real-life situation something that reminds you of a detail in Cleopatra’s life.
Go from One Slot to Another
Now, having played a slot about Egypt, turn the tables and play a slot that features imps or leprechauns and a lot of brilliant colors. Your mind will juxtapose the two sets of stimuli and you will start to see things in a kind of kaleidoscopic manner.
This is a kind of mind game you can play with yourself. You can do it at work, during the commute, while waiting in line at the supermarket, and in many other situations.
You will naturally begin to savor more and more moments. Robert Pirsig, in his monumental work, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” used the term “quality” in the way we are using the idea of savoring the moment. He used it in reference to motorcycle maintenance and he said that it could be applied to everything we do.

Savoring the Moment Leads to More Savoring the Moment
We have often said that gamers should set a reasonable time limit on gaming. This is certainly true. In terms of this discussion, actively savoring the moment makes one want to savor more moments. This makes it easy to play our great casino games for a short period of time, as we have often recommended, and then engage oneself in any of many other activities that also lead to the pleasure of simply being in the moment.
Calmness is the Natural Enemy of Tilt
Tilt is the natural enemy of fun so we ought to pursue an emotional state that combats all efforts of tilt to render itself. Calmness fights tilt tooth and nail. As tilt is overcome, fun can enter and usually does!
We have many moments in the course of a single day that can lead to tilt. We have even adapted the word rage to refer to everyday moments of tilt. Savoring the moment brings calm and calm kicks tilt in the posterior region!
Feel Blessed
We all go through periods of extreme stress. Still, if we can see ourselves as blessed, we can turn a lot of stress around. Just think; a hundred years ago no one would have imagined that the average person would have enough free time that they could play simple games online (what’s that?) almost every day!
We have a holiday of Thanksgiving. We should see every day as a day of feeling thankful to be able to pursue fun where our very near ancestors pursued food, shelter, and other necessities that we consider to be creature comforts.
Popular Culture Has Many Examples that Confirm the Value of Being in the Moment
Here are just three such examples:
In the movie Pretty Woman, the character played by Richard Gere has no idea what fun feels like. He has rented a $3000 per night hotel penthouse “because it’s the best”. He has no sense that this is something to savor and to feel blessed about.
Then the prostitute who has “befriended” and “adopted” him has him take off his shoes and socks in the park and suddenly he ahs sensory stimuli that he has never had before and actually likes them!
Fool’s Gold or Real Gold
In the movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, an old gold prospector is invited to join two much younger men who truly know nothing about prospecting for gold. As they climb the mountain that is one of the heroes of the movie, the older man finds gold at the same time the younger men are too exhausted to continue and want to quit the entire expedition.
The moment, in which the younger men don’t know “the riches they are treading on with their own feet” fills the old man with such glee that he dances a jig and wildly enjoys the ignorance of the younger men. It is an amazing scene and was probably the reason Walter Huston won an Academy Award for his performance in the movie.

The Hills are Alive
Finally, in the movie The Sound of Music, we see Mary in the opening scene completely at one with the hills that are alive with the sound of music. She cavorts about the mountain meadow with her arms outstretched in complete ecstasy at the moment.
It is because she brought music back into the house that the Captain falls in love with her!
