Casino Blog

It’s fascinating how luck can be either completely absent or raining down in showers. When we talked about the attraction of online slots in earlier blogs, maybe we forgot to mention a small, tiny factor that adds to the pleasure of playing – winning.

Obviously, it’s not just the gaming experience as such that we are after, of course we also hope to book a winning. Even if we don’t play online slots to win a fortune and quit our day job, we’re not that naïve, the prospect of winning is still part of the pleasure. And when we do win, online gambling is so much more fun.

Tell me that this picture is not beautiful:

Nevertheless, it’s an often overlooked fact that winning in online gambling raises a delicate problem. Suddenly you are confronted with a knotty decision: Should you continue playing and risk losing what you just won, or stop playing, book the profit, and walk away?

Well, maybe walking away with the money would be the wise thing to do. But, let’s be honest – if we wanted to walk away from the game, would we have sat down in the first place? Of course not. We’re there because we want to play, and now we’re supposed to stop? How much fun would winning be if it forced us to stop playing?

No, in reality, what’s so great about winning at online slots is – that we get to play more. The time we get for our money increases. That’s what professional online slots players call “time reward ratio”. It’s a lot like the hourly rate used among poker professionals, but while hourly rate describes how much money you make per hour, the time reward ratio (TRR) is a measure of the amount of time you get for a dollar.

For some reason, luck often comes in showers, and at those occasions your TRR may jump to unprecedented values. In the worst-case scenario you can get so much time for your money that time catches up with you. You may have to quit prematurely – that is, before going broke. How lucky then that you can leave the cash sitting at the online casino to be exchanged for time at a later occasion!
