Tips for new casino players during the holiday period

Christmas already and nearly another year gone so here at Casinos.ie we wish all the Irish casino players that read our pages a very happy festive season. Many people will have to work during the next few days but for those that don’t what a great time to try your luck at your favourite online casino. A huge win on casino slots would be a great Christmas present and online casinos are open for business 24 hours a day whether it is Christmas or not. There are plenty of Irish casino players who regularly play roulette and blackjack and they will probably continue over the next few days but there are also likely to be plenty of people who are occasional gamblers who maybe back a horse a couple of times a year when there is a big race and these same people may want to have a crack at playing casino slots for a change. The question for these good people is where to go as there is a huge choice of online casinos and an even bigger choice of casino slots. If you fall into this category then this is the place to be for sound advice and suggestions.

Firstly it is important to know that Casinos.ie does not operate any sort of online casino and therefore has no axe to grind about which online casino you choose to pay at. It is important, however, that you are in a safe place playing fair games and that the online casino is licensed to operate in Ireland. As you will have seen, Casinos.ie actually lists 10 possible online casinos, all of which are correctly licensed and operated under the jurisdiction of a reputable territory. Licenses are not issued in Ireland but they accept online casinos that have been issued licenses from well known gaming centres such as Malta, Gibraltar, Alderney or the Isle of Man. Even Paddy Power Casino is operated from one of these countries and it will not have escaped your attention that they also correspond to being lower tax countries. Be that as it may, you can select any of the ten online casinos in the knowledge that they are safe and well run. Casinos.ie has placed them on order of preference according to them but you may well have a different opinion depending on what you are looking for. All Irish Casino has been top of the list for a number of years as it seems to provide everything that Irish casino players are looking for which is a good choice of games in a friendly atmosphere. Another decision to be made is whether the casino bonus on offer is suitable for you. All online casinos offer bonuses for new players and at this time of the year there are likely to be special incentives so keep your eyes open for those. The most popular form of casino bonus is the one where the casino will match your first ever deposit so if you decide to deposit €100, the online casino will give you another €100. The words “give you” are not entirely true as the money is not yours until certain requirements have been met so maybe “made available” would be better.

The bonus money can be used to play any of the casino games on site but in order for it to be withdrawn it must be staked a number of times and not all casino games count. Casino slots always count but Roulette or Blackjack may not. Having to stake the bonus money around 40 times may well mean that there is nothing left to withdraw but at least you will have the fun of playing. The important thing is to treat it as bonus money that you never had so if you lose it there is really nothing lost. There are online casinos on the list that have a different way of rewarding players such as No Bonus Casino and Freespins Casino and they may well be more attractive especially if you think that you might play longer than one time. No Bonus Casino, for example, has a system whereby you can get cash back if you lose instead of an upfront bonus. One of the good things about this casino bonus is that it is available on every deposit you make into your casino account regardless of how long you have been a registered player. The system is pretty straightforward and if you make a deposit into your account today and manage to lose it all on the same day then 10% will be refunded the very next day. There are no restrictions placed on this cash back so you can carry on playing with it or you can even withdraw the cash if you want. Freespins Casino also operates a system which is available to all players on every deposit but in this case the deposit entitles you to a number of free spins on a selection of casino slots. There are staking requirements for any winnings from the free spins but as you are almost bound to win when playing free spins that is reasonable enough.

The next problem for the occasional slots player is which casino slot to choose and that is much more difficult to answer as there are literally hundreds to choose from. The first thing to do is determine what sort of casino slots player you want to be. If you are a player who wants to try to win one of the really huge slots jackpots that run into the millions of Euro then you need to select slots such as Mega Moolah™, Mega Fortune™ or Major Millions™ all of which have jackpots which are regularly that size. The jackpots tab at All Irish Casino will take you straight to these jackpot games and others with smaller jackpots. If you are more of a fun player then you might want to settle for casino slots where you could win smaller prizes but probably more frequently. A couple of the favourites of Casinos.ie are Gonzo’s Quest™ and Jack Hammer™ so if you really don’t know where to start those casino slots could be a good place. In any event enjoy your playing time.
