Mythbusters – Online Casino edition

A quick run-down of 10 online casino myths that aren’t true and that make your gaming experience worse if you believe in them:

  1. Myth: Online Casinos fix or rig games to their advantage.
    Fact: They can’t and don’t need to. All slots are already programmed with a house edge.
  2. Myth: After a long streak of losing you are bound to win.
    Fact: All slot games use a random number generator, meaning that your every spin is random and unaffected by previous spins.
  3. Myth: Slots turn cold after a jackpot.
    Fact: Well, no. Remember the random number generator? Every spin is completely unaffected by any previous spins.
  4. Myth: Casino operators can up your winning chances.
    Fact: Operators do not have the possibility of fiddling with your winning chances. Even if you are a loyal customer.
  5. Myth: Online gambling is more addictive.
    Fact: Harvard Medical School’s Division on Addiction stated, after research, that online gambling is no more addictive than any other form of gambling.
  6. Myth: Only lonely people gamble online.
    Fact: Very untrue. Online gambling is a form of entertainment. It is like saying, only lonely people watch Youtube.
  7. Myth: Online Casino Bonuses are a scam.
    Fact: Casino bonuses are real and a way to attract new customers, as well as pleasing existing ones. Remember that online gambling is a competitive marketplace.
  8. Myth: Winning chances are decreased when playing with a bonus.
    Fact: Slot games do/can not differentiate between real money and bonus money and therefore can not change the chances of winning.
  9. Myth: You need to spend big to win big.
    Fact: There is, of course, a relation between the size of winnings and size of bets but it is not necessary to spend a lot to win a lot. Most slots offer big win chances even with the smallest bets.
  10. Myth: Slot games are passive.
    Fact: With the wide range of online slot games available, players are able to choose how passive/active they want to be while playing. In addition, most online casinos offer additional casino features that can add to one’s gaming experience.
