The Casino Scrutiny Guide to Online Casino Gambling

So I thought it would be fun to own and operate a guide to online casino gambling, but I didn't want to run the same old "you can get a $200 bonus here type site". There are plenty of guides to casino bonuses already available on the internet, and some of them are very good at what they do, very comprehensive. What I'm hoping to do with this website is something a little different, something a little more personal.

My Personal Experiences

Casino Scrutiny is going to consist of nothing but my own journals and logs of my experiences playing at some online casinos. I've played poker for some time now, but I've never really done much online casino gambling, because I always had a problem with the odds being inevitably stacked in the casinos' favor. But that's how they make their living, and I'll admit to having spent some time playing Major Millions and some other online slot machine games.

Online Casino Reviews

That being said, I'm not entirely sure how much actual "casino reviewing" I'm going to be doing. I'll detail whether or not the customer service crews at these sites treated me right, and I'll go into whether or not I liked the software. But what I'm really hoping to do is capture the feeling I get playing at these casinos.

What's it like to hit a royal flush playing video poker on the internet? What do the frustration levels feel like when playing blackjack for an hour and hitting a bad losing streak? How much play does it really take to clear the bonus requirements at these casinos? These are the kinds of questions I'd like to answer.

So yes, these are online casino reviews, but they're not the kind of reviews you're possibly used to reading. They're not sales letters. Think of these as casino inspections, and think of me as being the guy who is scrutinizing the casinos to see what value can be found there, if any. I'll include the usual details that everyone has in their reviews, like the licensing and banking info, etc, but those details will always be secondary to my main content, which will consist of relating my experiences as an internet gambler.

Why Gamble at an Online Casino Anyway?

This is a good question, and I'm not sure I have an answer for it. I've been playing Gambling Online Poker now for at least 2 years, and I enjoy it. But now that I've gotten reasonably good at that, I'd like to see what it's like being on the side with the disadvantage now. And I think that like all gamblers, I want to beat the odds just once today. And maybe again tomorrow.

Yeah, I know the odds are against me, and I also know they'll eventually catch up with me. Being a casino gambler is like being mortal; eventually the odds will catch up with you either way. It doesn't mean you want to give up easily or early because of the eventuality. So, in the pursuit of things bigger than myself, onward I travel down the gambling rabbit hole. And what better way to get things going than a strategic tip.
