There is a saying that has been around for many years, one that I am sure that you have all heard and said at some point in your life. This saying is of course “The grass is always greener on the other side.” Basically it has to do with people never really being happy with what they have, jealous of what others have and wanting to always go after the greener grass. But what does all of this have to do with gambling and casino games you may ask?
Bored with your games? Try something else
Well, how many gamblers do you know who feel the same way? Whether playing at a land-based casino or online, there are many players out there who are constantly looking at other gamers. This is often caused by a player becoming bored with whatever game they are playing, whether it is one particular slot game or a table game. We all get bored with things we do regularly but many players are afraid to take the next step and try something else.
The Grass might actually be greener
You know what, now I am going to tell you to take the next step, leave your comfort zone and go and play something different. Let’s face it, while we all want to win a great jackpot, the main reason we’re playing casino games is because we have fun doing so. If you’ve gotten bored and you’re no longer having fun doing it, you’re doing it wrong. If you’re a slot player, go and try out a table game. If you’re a Blackjack player, try out Roulette or Craps. Do something different and you may just have an amazing time. Here are some very basic tips on how to do this and enjoy yourself again:
- Don’t be afraid to try new things. You’ll never know what you enjoy if you’re too afraid to try it.
- If you decide to try out Craps, start with betting on a single number, otherwise the house edge is acting against more of your money.
- When trying out Roulette, stick to betting on Red or Black initially. This will give you a taste of the game and allow you to understand it and see if you enjoy it.
- Don’t be afraid to take advice from other payers but don’t act on it until you can do some more research. Many players out there think they’re great and know everything.
- Feel free to observe the game, in a land-based casino, or play for free online before sinking real money into the game.
- If you’re moving from tables to slot games, try stick to a none-progressive jackpot slot and only play one coin at a time, otherwise the casino will have a higher house edge. Most importantly, have fun!
Remember, your favourite casino game is probably not going anywhere. You’ve got very little to lose by going out and trying a few different games and seeing what you enjoy. If you find you prefer your regular game of Roulette compared to other casino games you tried, you can just go back to it. But maybe you find you enjoy Craps or Blackjack or Slots as much as Roulette, and just like that, you’ve now got multiple games you really enjoy. Sometimes the grass can indeed be greener on the other side.
