This is one of the most important pages on this website, created with information from the Ruby Fortune website (in green), combined with my past experiences. Make sure to read well and always keep in mind what is written here. It will (and should) change the way you gamble. It may not help you to win, but will definately help you prevent yourself from losing more than you can afford.

1. Make sure that your decision to game is your personal choice
Don't gamble for any other reason than your own entertainment: enjoy the spinning of the wheels, the excitement of the games and the thrill of large wins. Never play because you "have to".

2. Establish limits for depositing, wagering and even losses before you commence gaming
and stick by them! Determine how much you can afford to lose, and don't deposit more. Even when a slot appears to "just start to do well", that's only what "it wants you to think", and even more importantly: what you want to believe. Set your maximum amount per spin/hand and make sure that even if you were to lose all spins/hands, you still have played for a while (had some fun). When your balance goes up a lot, say to yourself "I will not let it drop below ...". When your balance reaches that point: withdraw! Or play safe and withdraw that amount right away; you can always withdraw again if your remaining balance gets you another big win.

A slot stretegy I read somewhere a while ago (I'm sorry, can't remember who it was from; if you know, please tell me) stated the following (summarized):
1. Deposit a certain amount (say $50)
2. Determine your wager (say 0.90)
3. Devide your deposit by your wager (55.55)
4. Throw away everything after the . (55)
5. Spin that many times and not a single one more
6. Withdraw your balance and quit the casino

I myself found this strategy very helpful. What happens:
- You are counting your spins, making you more aware of what you are doing;
- If you win big, you don't get a chance to play it all away again;
- If you don't win, you'll have some funds left at the end of your session (you always win something) to play with another time, so you won't need to deposit again.

I have to admit though, that my point 6 became more like "Quit that game and either quit the casino and come back later, or play another game with the same strategy". Sometimes you have to, because of wagering requirements.

3. Never game if:
* You are younger than the legal gaming age
* It interferes with your daily responsibilities
Always do what you know you have to do that day first! You can even see gambling for a little while as a sort of "reward" (a moment to relax), but only after you have finished what you had to do.
* You are in recovery for any dependency
* You are under the influence of alcohol or any other substance
* Attempting to make up for prior losses
Each bet you place or spin you play has the same odds of winning. You will not win today because you lost yesterday. If you lost and can't afford to lose more: stop playing. You either lose or win, but past results say nothing about the results you'll have the next time.
* Your primary aim is to recoup your debt with your winnings

Odds say that playing when you are in debt will only get you deeper in debt. Luck unfortunately isn't always with those who need it most.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem,
consider assistance from any one of these organizations:

· Gamblers Anonymous: http://www.gamblersanonymous.org
· National Council on Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700
· GamCare (UK Based) Helpline: 0845-6000-13



Remember: gambling should always remain fun. Casino payout tables show that the best way to earn money from online casino's is by not playing. They usually pay out around 99% of what comes in, but that includes huge jackpots and progressives. So, odds say you'll lose. When you do lose, make sure that you at least had fun while doing so.


Finally, just a few more words of advice:

What does it take to win a lot?
Just one thing: luck

What does it take to lose a lot?
Among many others: bad luck, greed, frustration, impatience, ignorance...

I cannot teach you how to win (wouldn't that be something...), but I can help you become aware of your game play and control your losses.


For me, the keys to successfull gambling are:
- Knowing how much you can afford to lose
- Spreading risk (lots of smaller wagers instead of a few larger ones)
- Knowing when to quit

Of course I can't help you with the first point, but I will try my best to help you with the other two on the rest of this website.
