Casino credits
and their values have a great impact on the slot player
and many never give it a second thought. At the time of
this writing any real life casino I have ever visited which
includes Las Vegas multiple times and the riverboats
near my home on a regular basis, have slot machine games
which allow the player to change casino credits value while not
having to leave the machine they are playing. I do
recall seeing one machine which allowed you to
jump casino credit values from a quarter of a dollar to a half dollar
but that isn't a lot of loose reign when
compared to the online casinos allowing the jump from
literally pennies to as much (or more) than ten dollars
per credit value.
Online gaming has
that one thing over most (if
not all) land-based casinos
and it is in my opinion a
huge factor.
I've almost forsaken the real life
casinos because why would I want to drive through
traffic and possibly have to wait in line to both enter
the casino and when I get to my favorite machine, and
not be able to take advantage of increasing my casino credits
to higher values without leaving the machine that is
paying off?
Allowance for credit values to be changed opens the door
for "betting strategy" in respect to your bank roll. In other words you can
increase your bets when winning and decrease them when losing. To put this
in perspective of importance consider that If not for this allowance
in the game of blackjack the card counters would never have an edge over the
house even if they knew what the next card was likely
going to be. The simple fact that the player could not
adjust the wager amount to fully take advantage of such
knowledge would be enough to prevent the player from
ever hurting the casino and they'd probably walk a way a
loser.
