To people that are new to playing games online, you may not know how online slots differ from playing them in a brick and mortar casino. Maybe you’re even timid about playing online. I completely understand. I am generally distrustful of technology myself. For years I resisted computers, writing everything by hand, using an abacus to help me count, and (gasp) playing solitaire using an actual deck of cards.

Okay, I have to come clean about something. I made up the abacus part. Sorry. I just thought it would help me make my point. Anyway, I understand, but playing slots online is just as safe as doing it in a casino, provided you take the necessary steps of verifying that the website and software are approved and considered safe by recognized regulatory agencies.

Once you’re a member, you may find that there are some ways in which playing slots online is better. One way in which it’s better is that you can spend all of your time in your underwear and no one cares, kind of like Tila Tequila. In a brick and mortar casino, people look at you strange if you’re not dressed and chances are, if your name isn’t Hugh Hefner, you won’t be allowed in.

If, on the other hand, your name is Hugh Hefner, then I’m excited to have you reading my blog, sir. Also, is there any way I can get one of your Playboy Bunnies to serve me drinks at my birthday party? It would really make my day.

That does bring up one negative thing about playing slots online, though. When you play at home, there is a considerable lack of cocktail waitresses bringing you free drinks, unless of course you married a cocktail waitress and she doesn’t mind serving you while you sit on the computer. If that’s the case, you might be my hero. And if that’s the case because your name is Hugh Hefner, please refer to the previous paragraph.

Another advantage of playing slots online is that you have control over your surroundings. If you don’t want to deal with more flashing lights and annoying noises than at a Britney Spears concert, you can always turn them down. If you don’t want to listen to some washed-up lounge singer, such as Celine Dion, perform while you play, then you don’t have to.

When you play online slots, you are in charge. You can even easily go from casino to casino without having to walk down the sidewalk and play the frustrating game of “is she really into me or is she a hooker?” I suppose if your name is Hugh Hefner, though, you still have that problem even at home.

Mostly what it comes down to is control. When you play online slots, you can control a lot more of how our day goes than playing in a casino. You can basically control everything but the outcome of the spin. That sounds pretty good to me. Even if I do end up with a Bunny-less birthday party, if I get in enough time playing my favorite slots, it should be a good time.
