Here at Jackpot Capital, we are naturally all in for online casino gaming. Most gamers who play our 300 or so games know why it is best for them to play at a reputable online casino rather than at a land-based casino.
For new players, especially players who are looking to switch from land-based to online casino gaming, we present here the best reasons to play online.
So Many Good Reasons but No Best Reason
Since there is no single best reason to play online casino games, we will start from where we think most gamers would start. That is that online casinos cost no money to get to.
What is Worse, the High Cost of Travel or the Great Hassles of Travel?
Travelling by air is expensive and getting more expensive. In addition, to make a trip to Las Vegas worthwhile, players stay in a hotel also at some degree of cost. Hotels run deals but they are never cheap.
Travel by air has also become much more of a hassle than it ever was. Passengers are a lot more likely to experience air rage these days than at any time in the past.
Travel by car also is no longer cheap as the price at the pump is way up and roads are either in disrepair, getting repaved which slows down traffic, or simply clogged with other travelers.
Getting to an online casino such as Jackpot Capital involves no travel at all. We have described it in a way that has become a cliché: take a cuppa and walk from the kitchen to the living room.
Travel to a Casino Means That it is Not Always Available
This is obvious from the perspective of a land-based casino player. Jackpot Capital is always available as are all good online casinos. The advantage of online casinos always being available has other ramifications.
It is Easier to Play in Short Sessions Online
Since we are always open gamers do not feel the need to play for hours on end as so many do feel at land-based casinos. The value of short and frequent gaming sessions is enormous. Online gamers can have more fun playing since they see it as intrinsically a form of entertainment.
Since gamers can play every day if they desire, online casino gaming might be seen as a type of hobby. We feel that as a hobby of sorts, it would be better to play the games of skill, mainly video poker and blackjack.
Mobile Casino Gaming is the Go-to Way to Play
We will get to the great irony of the dominance of the mobile platform over online casino gaming. First, we would like to talk about how mobile casinos have followed innovations in digital technology step by step. Now, mobile is by far the most popular way to play online casino games.
This leads to the twin advantages of online casinos: comfort and convenience. We have already spoken about convenience. Comfort comes from being able to play while slouched about on the sofa or in bed. Comfort also comes from being able to play with your significant other slouched together on the sofa or in bed.
The most significant fact about the continuing growth of mobile casino gaming through online casinos is that many land-based casinos now offer mobile gaming in the hotel!

Online Casinos Offer Deposit Bonuses
You make a deposit and the casino gives you money to play with! The question is why don’t land-based casinos offer the same kind of bonuses? The simple answer is that a deposit bonus has a wagering requirement which is a factor of the bonus that the gamer has to bet before they can take out winnings.
The wagering requirement prevents any gamer from accepting a bonus and then immediately cashing out.
It usually takes several days or longer to complete a wagering requirement and very, very few players at any land-based casinos will be at the casino for the number of days it would take to complete the wagering requirement.
Online Casinos Run Many Promotions
Some of these promotions are for deposit bonuses as we just spoke about. Others are for free spins. Online casinos also run comp points promotions. Now, land-based casinos also offer comp points promotions. The key difference between a comp points promotion at an online casino or one at a land-based casino is that the comp points represent money wagered or money spent.
When a player goes home from a land-based casino with comp points on his or her player’s card, the points represent real money that is now sitting in a drawer waiting to get back to that land-based casino if the player ever does go back!
Online Casinos Have Higher Return to Player Rates in Some Games
Let’s begin with slots. The outcomes of slots both at online casinos and at land-based casinos are determined by the random number generator. This software determines the outcomes of all online casino games except those live dealer games that are truly live.
The random number generator can be calibrated to return a given amount over time to players. Land-based casinos have the game provider calibrate the RNG to return about 80% of money bet to players while at Jackpot Capital and all reputable online casinos the return to player rate in slots is about 97%.
Blackjack and Video Poker
At land-based casinos, blackjack is a live game. At an online casino, it is digital but the random number generator cannot be calibrated. So, the way some land-based casinos get more revenue from players is to pay less for a blackjack.
The payout for a blackjack at many land-based casinos is now 6-5 while here at Jackpot Capital it is and will continue to be 3-2. The difference is that the house edge at Jackpot Capital when the player plays correctly is about 0.50% while it is lower at those land-based casinos that pay only 6-5.
Some Land-based Casinos Pay Much Less in Video Poker
Just as with blackjack, video poker cannot be calibrated so many land-based casinos now pay only 8-5 or even 7-5 for a full house and a flush while here at Jackpot Capital, we pay 9-6. Thus, the return to player rate at Jackpot Capital if the gamer plays correctly is about 99.5% while it is quite a bit lower at those land-based casinos that pay out less.
In addition to higher return-to-player rates in blackjack and video poker, we also offer many variations of these games.
Finally, We Invite Gamers to Play for Free!
Sure, we are in the online casino for real money business but we feel that we owe it to the gaming public to offer free play for two reasons. One is to help gamers stretch their monetary budgets. As we have stated many times, we are available every day. We encourage gamers to use that availability to play in short sessions and with a sound financial budget. Free play helps gamers stay within their budget.
We also offer free play because gamers can play all of our games. Many of our games are new to gamers. So, we let them play in free play mode in order to get the hang of a game that is new to them.
This is just one of the many ways we make online casino gaming a great fun and entertaining experience for gamers.
