Long Time, No Wins: 5 Things You May Be Doing Wrong in Casino Gaming

You LOVE casino games. You always hope for wins but there haven’t been any significant ones so far. Or, even worse, there haven’t been any at all. What’s wrong? You may chalk it up to bad luck. Well, that’s possible. But it’s also possible that you keep making one of those common gambling mistakes that prevent wins.

1. Using Bonuses in the Wrong Way

One of the biggest mistakes players make is a wrong (or, not so efficient) use of casino bonuses. It’s particularly common in casinos that have a generous welcome package. Let’s see how it happens on the example of Spinanga. Here, they double your deposit up to $500. They also give 200 free spins, but okay, that shouldn’t impact the sum of your deposit. So you see this welcome promo and your first impulse is to deposit $500. Because you’ll get that $500 for free. Sounds beneficial, doesn’t it? Not necessarily.

The thing is that you will need to wager this amount 35 times, according to the bonus requirements. Until you do that, you won’t be able to collect your wins. From that standpoint, you are interested in a smaller deposit sum rather than in a bigger one. Otherwise, you’ll spend more than you planned. Besides, you may lose what you’ve won while wagering the bonus.

2. Placing Big Bets That Quickly Eat Your Budget

Another common mistake is placing large bets. The logic is, of course, clear. You hope to win, then, the bet will be multiplied, and you will get more money than you would with a small bet. In other words, it might seem like a faster track to significant payouts. But it only works under a scenario where you are indeed lucky. What if you aren’t? Such bets will simply deplete your bankroll fast.

So the strategy should be moderate. In fact, if it’s a slot game, you can even stick with a minimum bet. That will divide your budget into many many portions and thus many many chances to win.

3. Playing Only One Game You Think You Are Good At

They often tell you to play what you are good at to win but does it really work like this? Does skill make that much difference? Perhaps, it doesn’t. We naturally try to find patterns, tricks, strategies but, in the long run, it’s still largely centered on luck. Even in poker and blackjack.

So do explore different games. There are tons of them today. In Spinanga, for instance, they have game shows, all types of jackpots, live dealer games, and tournaments. And this is not to mention thousands of slot titles. Check which games are participating in the Game of the Week promo or other tournaments. When you play such games, you can account for regular wins, plus, the promo win (these can reach thousands of dollars).

4. Missing Special Events

We’ve already covered this a bit above. The point is that special events are another opportunity to win. Many players miss out on these opportunities because they aren’t aware of them. After all, you aren’t on the casino’s site 24/7. But it would be good to sometimes participate in those. And to stay informed, there are at least two options

• Subscribe to the casino’s newsletter (this one’s only relevant if you check the email daily)
• Enable push notifications (this is especially relevant for casino mobile apps).

5.  Relying Too Much on Strategies

Finally, let’s once again emphasize — casino gaming is random. You never know when you’ll win. When you focus on strategies entirely, you miss the fun. So if you don’t have any wins, you aren’t getting anything out of it, neither entertainment nor wins. This is why, however paradoxical it may sound, the best thing you can do is let it go. Let yourself lose (that’s why it’s important to place small bets), let yourself have fun, and luck will smile on you. Even if it doesn’t, you’ll still have a nice time, which is always worth it.
