First, make sure that you have the right
gear: a valid credit card, a PC, and an Internet connection.
If you only have a Mac or Web TV, you are unfortunately
going to struggle with very limited choices. You can
try Slotland who offer a small number of games but very high paying
jackpots.
Pick the casino you find most appealing
(we offer many throughout the site and feature some
real bargains on this page!).
For a sneak peak at the casinos games,
go to the "preview" page on the casinos web
site. When you find a casino you like, go to the casinos
"download" page. The casino may offer more
than one software version, so select the version you
prefer. Enter your e-mail address so that you can receive
a key code that you will need later to unlock the software
the first time you run the program. Click the "download"
button, but remember to take note of where you choose
to save the file on your hard drive so you can find
it later! When the download is complete, find the file
in the directory where you saved it. Double-click on
the file icon to run the setup program, which will guide
you through the installation process. Just respond to
the questions and choose where to store the casino program
on your hard drive. Check your e-mail to see if you
have received a key code. If not, wait another 5-10
minutes. You will need this key code to initially unlock
the casino program.
Start the casino program. Enter the
key code you received by e-mail in the indicated field.
(Don't worry, you will only need to do this the first
time you run the program.). To practice the games just
for fun, choose "For Fun" when you start the
casino program. Then select the game you wish to try
on the main menu. If you are unfamiliar with a game,
you can always refer to the "Help" section
for game rules and a few helpful hints. If you have
already gotten a feel for the games and sense that luck
is on your side, choose to play "For Real."
Register to become a casino member by filling out the
form and clicking the "Ok" button. Proceed
to the casino "Cashier" to deposit betting
money into your casino account. There are usually several
deposit methods available, so choose the most convenient.
This process can take a bit of time because the online
casino operates with great security (mainly to protect
you!). With money in your account, you are now ready
to pick your favorite game and play to your heart's
content.
If you have a question or should encounter
a problem, contact the casino's support department by
e-mail, fax, or phone. You will find this information
on the casino's web site on the "Contact"
page. Live help is also a feature on many casinos (it's
like a chat feature).
Cashing Out - When you are finished
playing for the time being, your betting money can be
safely stored in your casino account until your next
gaming session. If you wish to cash out some or all
of the money stored in your casino account, go to the
"Cashier" and click on "withdrawal."
Select a withdrawal alternative and follow the instructions.
Although the lack of free drinks at
a virtual casino is a drawback, there are several good
advantages to gambling on the Internet:
- Instead of free drinks, you can get free cash (is
this a win or what!).
- You can play in your pajamas.
- You can play 24/7.
- No need to travel.
- You can insult the dealer as much as you like.
- You can go to the bathroom in the middle of a game
- NO PARKING PROBLEMS
- NO POSSIBLE VEHICLE THEFT !
Hints:
- Remember that you probably play in the "For Fun"
mode differently than when you play with real money.
Your playing style may change, but the games and odds
remain the same.
- When you cash out, be prepared to wait a while before
you get your money. The length of the wait depends on
the efficiency of your postal service, where you live,
and the withdrawal method you choose. If you run into
any problems or the wait seems unreasonably long, get
in touch with the online casino's support service. Remember,
these people were hired to help you, so don't hesitate
to ask questions!
Armed with these tips, you are ready
to log on and enjoy the wonderful world of Internet
gambling.
Good luck, and let the games begin |
