There are many myths surrounding virtual gambling establishments. Some say that you can win millions and forever forget about the boring job if you know some secret scheme. Others say that it's all a "scam", you are bound to be cheated and left without the last money. And what is the reality? Is it possible to win at online casinos?
How does the online casino work and is it true that everything is "all screwed up"?
For the user, everything is simple. Went to the site or installed applications, registered. Put money into the account, made a bet, and got the result. But there is a question of "honesty".
In real casinos, if it is a self-respecting institution, everything really works on the principle of random numbers. Despite the myths around the "twisted" roulette or magnets installed allegedly under the table croupiers, in reality, this business is very strictly checked. And this is not surprising, given the huge sums of money it is associated with.
But in virtual reality, things are more complicated. Anyone who has studied programming knows that it is much more difficult to achieve randomization of numbers by computer than it is "in real life".
Therefore, only special programs are used. They are tested, verified, and receive security certificates, which first of all means: yes, the numbers falling out in slots or on roulette are really random.
An online casino won't get a license if it hasn't been verified. It's true that there are different levels of licenses. For example, Malta and Gibraltar can often turn a blind eye to some violations. But if the permit is issued by the UK, then everything is 100% "clean".
Does this mean that you can only play in casinos with a British license? Of course not. In addition, they do not have very favorable conditions: you have to pay for everything. The "European standard" license is expensive. The establishments offer smaller winnings and bonuses.
But among the casinos with Maltese or Gibraltar - the cheapest and most accessible - licenses, there are also many honest establishments. The majority of them. Online casinos are simply unprofitable to "tweak" random number generators in their favor because they will quickly become apparent to users.
And you can't silence the internet. Bad reviews will appear on third-party sites. There's no getting rid of the reputational damage. People will simply "vote with their feet".
Therefore, if you play in a long-established institution, the risk of getting caught on a "tweaked" roulette, slots or poker is almost impossible.
Why "casinos are always on the plus side”
Everything is very simple. The law of large numbers comes into play. Winning options are always less than losing - these are basic conditions, and the player agrees with them. Therefore, even if someone breaks the jackpot, taking away from the institution of a million, at the expense of other losers pays off, and this jackpot, and everything else.
By the way, online casinos even like it when someone wins large sums from them. After all, this is a great advertisement: a happy person is sure to write a positive review. And will bring another ten, a hundred, a thousand players.
How to play so as not to lose?
The law of random numbers is always valid for everyone. There is no guarantee that it is you who will get the jackpot. But, on the other hand, it is not impossible.
The casino does not cheat and does not engage in rigging. But if a person does not know how to stop in time, he will definitely lose. A very common situation: someone bets, and wins a good amount. But instead of taking it and rejoicing in the victory, decides "I'm lucky!" - and bets more. The law of random numbers says no. It doesn't work that way. One win is good, two wins are still realistic, and sometimes even three in a row happens.
But not five or ten. That is, as in any other business: moderation and awareness are important. Then there will be wins, although hardly millions, and you can quit your job. But you will not lose so much that you will have to take out a loan to pay off your debt.
