"Evaluating casinos and their offers daily, through our 7 blessings approval system!" — Spadey
Here, I'll present the details concerning the different modes that are available in online casino gaming. Basically, they boil down to two different modes for you to choose from. These we'll call the "Fun Mode" and the "Real Money Mode" which may sound self-explanatory – but there's more to it than that.
Practice play is a mode that a casino will usually offer you, in order for you to get comfortable with their software, prior to wagering with real cash. This is especially helpful if don't happen to be very familiar with a game you'd like to try.
I highly recommend, though, that even if you're familiar with a particular casino game, you should try playing in the free mode before you deposit your money. That's because the way a game is played can vary slightly from one casino to another and from one software platform to another.
The best thing about this, is that casinos don't give you better odds in the free modes than in the real cash modes. This way, you can be sure that your playing experience in the practice mode will match your experience in the real money mode.
Download the online casino software and install it on your computer.
Note: If you're playing in the non-downloadable Flash mode – you can skip the first two steps. Also, Flash mode games will typically have a few less features than downloadable versions.
This mode will allow you to enter the casino and make real money wagers. For your own protection, just keep in mind that you're playing for real money. The good thing is that online casinos generally have higher payout percentages than land casinos, due to their lower overhead.
Download the casino software and install it on your computer.
Visit the cashier/banking section of the casino by clicking the “Cashier or Bank” button and make your deposit (check the casino's rules for deposits and withdrawals before doing this)
After your deposit has gone though successfully, you can now begin your casino playing adventure!
