Here at Jackpot Capital, that headline is a kind of mantra. It includes two very important parameters that complement each other while also being separate in their own ways. These parameters are FUN and GAMES!
As we would have it, “fun and games” is a kind of cliché that people say when they are having a good time! Now, we should define what having a good time means at Jackpot Capital Casino. For some, having a good time is playing Jackpot Capital slots and other games of chance. For others, having a good time means playing blackjack or video poker or other games of skill.
Let’s see how we can make games of chance and games of skill work together in a kind of happy and fun synergy so that we get the most fun and the most excitement out of every gaming session.
Is There Skill in Games of Chance and is There Luck in Games of Skill?
The answer is: it’s a bit more complicated than that!
Let’s look first at games of chance. These include slots, roulette, craps, Banana Jones, baccarat, bingo, keno, and others.
For the most part, these are games of chance. Some would say that they are games of pure chance! But there is a measure of skill in them as well.
The skill in playing games of chance comes in having fun playing them!
How Do Gamers Maximize Fun in Playing Games of Chance?
This actually requires a list followed by explanation.
- Set a reasonable time limit for gaming.
- Set a reasonable money budget for gaming.
- Play a wide range of games.
- Develop and cultivate other outside interests.
- Interest yourself in the themes of the many games of chance.
- Accept that there is quite a bit of chance in all games of skill.
- Be ever thankful that you have the free time to decide how to spend it.

Set a Reasonable Time Limit
Here we acknowledge that gaming is not the only thing we like to do, have to do, should do, or have the time to do. Setting a reasonable time limit for gaming also segues smoothly into developing and cultivating other outside interests. We feel that gaming here at Jackpot Capital is one of many ways to spend our free time.
Set a Reasonable Monetary Budget
In addition to free time, we also have disposable income, extra money that we should decide what to do with. There are so many things that are not essentials that we can spend our extra money on.
Some people like to read and are willing to spend several dollars on a book. Some like to take lessons. Cooking, baking, piano, voice, drawing and painting, Pilates, and the list goes on!
So, we budget for all of our after-work activities. This includes vacations as well. A lot of people used to budget for the frequent long weekends at a land-based casino. We all agree that a few days in Las Vegas can be exciting.
The point of setting a reasonable budget for gaming is that it is a lot easier and a lot more fun to play for a relatively small amount of money fairly often at Jackpot Capital Online Casino rather than to earmark a lot of money on land-based casinos and to use the money saved for other fun activities.
All of those other fun activities are no less exciting than a few days in Las Vegas.
Play a Wide Range of Games
At a land-based casino, players tend to play their one favorite game. If they can’t get a seat at that game, they might wander the casino floor, wait, or find another “favorite” game.
At Jackpot Capital, gamers have the freedom to wander the casino “floor” playing every game we have on offer! This is 300 or more games! It is a lot more fun to try out 300 or more games instead of hanging on for a chance to play one game and then hoarding that one seat.
Playing a wide range of games gives erstwhile players of games of chance the opportunity to play games of skill and to discover the fun in doing so. Playing a wide range of games gives erstwhile players of the games of skill the chance to play games of chance and to discover the fun in doing so!
Interest Yourself in Games Themes
This is particularly important in slots. Many a gamer has played a slot with a theme rooted in an ancient culture, looked up that culture, and developed an abiding interest in it.
Since we are writing this article in the month of Halloween, we thought to look up the history of Halloween. It turns out that the ancient Celts had a lot to do with Halloween!
A quick search revealed that we can hear Celtic music, contemplate Celtic art and so on! The Celts were and are a fascinating people and a simple interest in Halloween led us to research Celtic culture.
Proper Respect for Chance in Games of Skill Leads to Inner Calm
Inner calm is the exact opposite of tilt. A player who plays every hand in a game of skill correctly and still loses can either accept his or her fate with a smile assuming that they played with a reasonable bankroll or can tilt.
Every game of skill has an element of chance.
Games of Skill Teach Life Lessons.
When you make a big-ticket purchase and you negotiate the price, you are demonstrating a skill. When you come up with a great idea in a brainstorming session at work, you are demonstrating a skill. There are so many areas of everyday life where skill is needed! Even if you love the games of chance, playing games of skill will put you in a better place when you come across a situation where skill is required.
In his great work, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” Robert Pirsig showed how becoming adept at motorcycle maintenance is a learned and valuable skill. And that skill can be transferred to many other situations.
The skill Mr. Pirsig spoke about is recognizing what he called “quality” in all things.
One quality we all need to cultivate is the skill to not tilt! Another quality is learning to enjoy activities that we thought were boring or otherwise not interesting. Playing online casino games out of your general realm of interest is a quality that we all should cultivate.
