Common Casino Myths

Apr 11 (newsonjapan.com) - A reason why myths have got mixed with facts in the reality of casinos is its long timeline and exotic history.

Since the time of the Egyptians, ancient Rome, or Chinese card games, the modern-day was already on its way.

And even from the physical casino, we have moved to the online mode, now that it is the world of the internet. Along with the development of both online and physical casinos, various theories, myths, and far-fetched fallacies have spread among groups of casino players.

Continue reading below to know which of these are actually true and which of these are bluffs, as we confirm and debunk the common myths surrounding casinos in this article.

Casino games are fixed

Maybe once upon a time, somewhere, some casino games were rigged, and it has led to a long-run reputation of all casino games being fixed from before.

The truth is, like every other business, casinos too need to make a profit out of the games; therefore, they strategically design slots and machines, but nothing goes beyond it.

Card counting is not considered legal

This is one of the popular myths regarding casinos and should be debunked immediately. There is nothing illegal about card counting, and it is very much legal for a player to count cards at hand.

However, casinos do not want you to count cards because it simply puts you one step ahead towards winning. Card counting is one of the most clever strategies in a game of Blackjack; therefore, most casinos dread this move.

But do not worry; you will not be thrown off at jail for counting cards. Japanese Casino Blog can tell you more about it, so continue reading about this by clicking on the link above.

If a slot machine has not paid in a while, there is a chance of a big win

False, false, false! This is one of the most hilarious myths to go around, as a machine can never be aware of its past activities and act accordingly to them like living creatures. Therefore, of course, a machine will not know when and how much it has paid; it just works on a set of algorithms like a robot and does not know how to act otherwise.

Extra oxygen is pumped onto the casino floor to keep you energized

This myth, although popular mainly in Las Vegas, has taken quite a toll on casino players all over the world, who have come to believe that the famous casinos pump up energy-boosting gases or pheromones to keep the players energetic. So that they do not get exhausted even after hours of playing.

Conclusion

We hope that after reading this article, a part of what you earlier used to believe in has changed and the rest enhanced. But now, of course, it is up to how you want to deal with them. Some people believe in wild luck in games, and some people don’t and likewise play with different states of mind, so we never really know.
