Casino Reviews

The best way to receive a casino bonus online is to sign up for a casino slot card at the casino of your choice and also arrange for online access to your new account so that you can see what bonuses you may become eligible for as you play the slots or tables in the casino. If they do not offer online access to your account, the next best thing is to provide your email address. The casino can send emails with your casino bonuses attached to the email. The last resort of course is to receive your casino bonus by the traditional post office. This can take time and cost the casino more money to print and send the coupons etc.

Step By Step Approach to Casino Bonus Online

Open a slot card account with your favorite casino. Provide them with your address, email address and open an account with them. You may even be able to select a password at the time you open the account. If not make sure you have the instructions regarding how to open the online account later on.

Receive email casino bonuses by email which you may need to print. Take them with you when you go to the casino to take advantage of your casino bonus.

Log onto your account by signing on to your online casino account to view your bonuses and special offers that the casino will make available to you from time to time. You may also need to print these coupons and take them with you when you go to the casino to claim them.

Check your bonus status often since it may be updated as often as you visit the casino or at least every month. Certainly login to your online account each time prior to visiting the casino t find out what may be available to you when you visit the casino.

Print casino bonuses and take them with you. Not every casino will require them since they can look up your account online at the slot card desk, however, it just makes it easier for everyone if you have your copy with you.

Types of Casino Bonus Online

Online casino bonuses sometimes include free play. It can be played just like real money that you might insert into a slot machine. Not all slot machines accept free to play so you may have to play a machine that is not always your first choice.

In addition to free play, online casino bonuses can also include the following depending on the level of your play and the frequency of your visits to the casino.

• Free hotel rooms
• Meal comps
• Even free travel coupons
• Free show tickets

Check your casino bonus online often to confirm what is being offered. Make sure that you do not miss out on any bonuses that might be available to you.

This site is really about the old style of casinos and the hotels that go along with them and not so much about sites for Online Gamblers. We have visited many of these casino hotels over the years and have first-hand knowledge about the hotels, the casino, the rooms, the restaurants, and of course the comps. We have not reviewed many of the online gambling sites and yet more and more people are playing various games online. Everything from poker to various slot machines can be played on a virtual basis of course for free or for real money.

I guess we are from the old school. We prefer to play at a casino rather than online. We like the ambiance, and the people around us most of the time. Also the offers of free rooms and meals. We also like to get out and see the sites that are usually associated with casinos and hotels. We like the big places such as Tunica, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City. Smaller casinos and casinos that are off by themselves do not offer many complimentary benefits to customers. They just do not have the competition and so why should they make huge offers of rooms and meals? It all depends on the competition.

Casinos run by local governments are among the worst when it comes to comps and payouts from their slot machines. We try to stay away from these as well. You may wonder why we are spending so much time talking about brick-and-mortar casinos when the subject of this post is Online Gamblers.

Online Gamblers vs. Casino Gamblers

Well, the answer is that when anyone writes an opinion about something, it is sometimes helpful to understand their point of view.  From a preliminary look, the online gambler is missing out on a lot of benefits that are just not available to people who visit regular casinos. Here is a brief list of what we consider are advantages that the online gambler might be missing out on:

• Complimentary free rooms at casino hotels
• Free meals at casino hotels
• Complimentary free shows at casino hotels
• Free play varies a great deal by the casino and probably for online gamblers as well
• Express comp’s for slot players to be used for meals as well as merchandise
• The glitter and excitement of a casino
• Free drinks at many casinos while you are gambling
• A variety of extras that depend on the level of gambler you are

When you take all of this into account, why would you want to waste time playing online? The odds of winning are thought to be less than the traditional casinos. Although we have never seen any proof of that either way. Sure it can be more convenient and possibly more comfortable to gamble online from your home. But we just think that online gamblers are missing out on a lot of experiences.

Online Comp’s

Now we have heard of people who gamble online to qualify for one of the major Texas Holdem tournaments. We even know of one person who did this after spending many hours playing and qualifying for a satellite tournament and them winning the tournament. But I guess for us we like the ambiance of a real casino and will forgo the online gaming experience at this time.
