My Lucky Day

Scrolling through endless emails, I came across a code for Jackpotjoy Bingo. I have made several deposits with them and received one code through the mail once since I’ve been registered. I actually got a No Deposit Bonus from Jackpotjoy! They never, I mean never send me these things.

It was good for slots and I had been reading that they had released a few new slots in recent months. I logged in to redeem the code. I was actually slightly skeptical that the code would work. The email instructed me to redeem in under “Claim a Voucher”. It took me forever to find it but when I did, I enter the code and bingo I was £15 richer.

Jackpotjoy is more than an online casino or bingo site. It’s like a community. There’s chat as you play and really great promotional offers. I had played Nuts & Bolts when it was released and I loved it. It’s absolutely one of those games that you could easily become addicted to. It wasn’t paying out for me so I moved on before I blew my entire freebie on that slot game.

I went back to my old friend Zuma. I had to hope for three frogs to trigger the bonus round. That seems to be a favorite among the players at Jackpotjoy. Chat is just buzzing with chatter about this slot. People gambling away and announcing when they hit three frogs and how many spins they’ve got. I had absolutely nothing to announce. Those creepy little frogs teased me and showed up twice on the reels but not three times. £15 is not much to work with but free is free and I gambled every penny of that no deposit bonus.

Which online casino do your most cherished bonuses come from?

Betting on More than Just Slots

My life just gets better by the day. The topic of discussion for my husband and I was gambling. We somehow managed to turn it into a bet of our own. He had to play his game of choice at the online casino of his choice and I had to do the same. Whoever won more cash had to do whatever the other wanted for the weekend.

I chose slot of course and he chose poker. This was actually a good gambling test because many believe that the odds are a lot better on poker than slots. The hard part was to sit and think about where to play. I needed a good casino that had a fair pay out rate that I also could trust. The first casino to come to mind was Jackpot Party but then I remembered that I can’t win there. The luck was on my side in the beginning but not long after the slots became tight as a drum. Hmmm, where to play?

InterCasino of course! I love the games they have to offer. Great minds think alike because my husband opted for poker on their site as well. We both logged in at the same time and allotted one hour for our gambling war. I had to win. I don’t want to be making homemade pasta and serving beer all weekend. If I won, I planned to make him take me out and buy me a nice bottle of wine.

I had just seen the adverts for the Captain America movie so that’s the slot I chose. The Marvel slots are great and the random jackpots can hit at any moment. There are three tiers and I’d be a happy camper winning any of them. The lowest one usually gets to around 70 quid or so.

I hit two bonus rounds and as the hour was coming to a close my bankroll had dwindled. Turns out my husband had made the better choice with poker. I guess I’ll have to transform into Nigella Lawson this weekend.
