I don't recall ever having an issue understanding how a game works. They're pretty straightforward, at least those that I've played myself and personally don't think a manual or some kind of guide is necessary. With that being said, I doubt casinos would actually do it, and just like another user already mentioned, some casinos feature a question mark (?) in which you're offered some basic guidance or tips.

It would be useful though to have a demo version of the game in which you could actually test the gameplay with fake money, just like they do on Forex websites, in order to try out investments and trading. This process, however, would consume a lot of resources on the casino, so I doubt they'd actually do it for every single game of theirs.
People are really just that too lazy enough for them to ask out with this kind of thing on which the site will really be showing up some manual or instructions on how games should be played?
Come to think that casino games arent that too technical for you to understand on how it works. Using up with your own common sense then you will be able to play out the game without reading anything.
We are really just that too demanding on things on which arent supposed to be asked out because its not really that hard to understand at all. You can also make up some quick searches too
if ever you wont be able to find out some information on the site, but still there's no way that you should be that complaining that they dont have those instructions.

OP

Agree with you and I've thought the same thing. Besides, with 1000 games available on platforms, I get lost in which one to choose to play or try and end up not choosing any. I'm usually only active in sportsbooks, which is what has worked for me.

Some casinos or games offer free demos, which helps you understand the dynamics of the game before using the real bankroll. That's one thing, if you have any questions about how to play a certain game, you can search on Google, YouTube, etc.

*Why do you think casinos do not include games manual or instructional essays on their website?

Games instructional essay is something which will be for each game. Almost all the gambling sites has same types of games so if they write down instructional essay then it might be plagiarism it might be one of the reasons of not writing the instruction.

When you say manual, I think it is more precise than a simple instruction and may be unnecessary anymore because casino games aren't that complex to operate. In sports betting may be? Because when I'm new in it, it's hard for me to grasp things like what I did when I'm still learning on casino/casino games. It is not the manuals is the ones that can improve the gambler's experience but it is only when they actually engage on the activity. Manuals can only gave you a knowledge or some insights about the thing that you will be doing, so that you will now know on how to operate them properly. When it comes to retention memory capacity of an individual, I think it can be work-out if we lack of it and that can be through continuous reading (preferably informative and meaningful stuffs).

About responsible gambling, it can also be work-out and maybe some or most manuals can include it? It will still depend on the individual though. Like for example, we always give an advice here about gambling, only to find out that the same gambler or many gamblers are still experiencing the same issue. It is truly hard to resist an urge. Frustration is a kind of emotion which can also come from within.

Well yeah  Cool for me gambling and video games is similar sometimes we don't really need manual or instructional essays to play we just follow the flow and boom sometimes we win and sometimes we lose haha.
You take a look at gambling slot there are tons of games and from a ton of games provider but look we are that we don't really need to understand just click the reload button and let the game flow
Many times we just follow our feeling to play the games. For those who often playing games can identify how to play the games without takes too long. That happened to me in the first time I played dice game, slot game, or crash. That doesn't need too long for me to understand how to play the game. But for placing a bet in the sportsbetting, I need to learn for some time before I know what I need to do. We can search for the tutorial from the internet which I believe that will easier for us to have many good lesson and tutorial. So we don't have to bother about how to play the gambling games because with so many lesson that we get from the internet, that will understanding to us to play the games.

Why do casinos not include games manual or instructional essays on their site? I believe because its easy to play any games on the casino even tho you are not expert in it. I know BlackJack from casino I know dice from casino and is self learn hahah.

Tho some casino offered you a demo play or at least watch other people play from that is same with the manual instruction how to play the game in my opinion. Based luck game like slot and crash you watch like 4 times you will understand how to play it.
Most people who are interested in gambling will probably ask their friends who are also gambling, but it is undeniable that there are also those who are looking for ways and understand the flow of the game themselves, these may be people who are learning to understand something in an autodidactic way. Cheesy
I agree with you, indeed by seeing other people gambling there we take lessons and understand the flow to make us understand the type of gambling that we see. In addition, it is quite easy to understand all the games available, so it is not a big problem when the casino does not provide clear instructions, because most likely when someone is interested in one of the games they will find their own way.

Why people do really ask out such stuff? Its true that you do just simply make use of your common sense or self awareness on how things works then you wont really be needing that instructions. It isnt really that something
technical on which you will really be needing up those manual yet you do really just that need to push that roll button and wait up for the instant result whether you won or lose.
To those who are really that seeking for some instructions then you could really always have that kind of searching online on various information.

Most of platforms doesnt really give out on to those mechanics on how things should really be done or would really be doing. It will really be not that hard for you to end up on having those demands
asking for some instructions on how games should be played.

Casino games are quite easy to play they don't need instructional manuals on how to play the games, it's something that everyone can understand. It's possible to also learn from the demo games. Casinos are the most played games ever and it's this way it is based on how simple they are. You don't need a manual instruction before knowing how to play. Skilled based on the other hand like sports betting needs some sort of learning process than casino games. This is the main reason why women prefer to play casino games because it's easy to learn
not all casinos games are easy to play, will you just play a game that you don't know anything about it, the thing is that people have passion on playing casinos game, and other people also have their own way of understanding casinos game, do you know that their is some people go to YouTube to watch how some games is been played in casinos gambling before they can be able to know it better, casinos suppose to have a memo were people who don't know too well of their casinos to know about it, so the suggestion of someone who titled this thread this title tried, if we support this motion, at least casinos will make little adjustments
That’s why I choose to play games I already know well, not something I’d have to learn from scratch. If I go to YouTube and watch tutorials, it’s just to get new ideas and strategies. But honestly, if we want to have a better chance of winning, we should know the game clearly—especially with card games. Still, no matter what we do, if luck isn’t on our side, we’ll still lose.

So, when we gamble, we shouldn’t expect to win instead, we should play to enjoy and hope for a bit of luck. In fact, the key is that win or lose, we won’t regret it because we’re having a good time.

You know one thing about gambling is that no one goes into it without being inspired by something (it could be and inspiration from another player) and what ever inspired the person is definitely someone or something that the person can actually learn what ever they want to know from. For example, if perhaps am not a gambler but I saw you gambling, If I like it, I could actually ask you to teach me.
I agree with you that there is always something that tends to inspire a gambler to start gambling. Most people started because of the winning they see others win in front of them.
 
While some do it based on the level of fun they had or read from someone about gambling and want to practice it themselves to get a first-hand experience, which could either be a good one at first or they could probably get discouraged but later have a fine game of interest in the casino?

I am sure most of the casinos have simple explanation on how to play the games such as dice, blackjack or plinko. The interface itself makes the game very obvious. If someone would need a manual or a instructional essay (sounds very boring), then I am pretty much confident that the casino has a very bad UI. Improving the UI would be a better move than creating an instructional essay. Same goes for the slot. You dont need big brains to know how to play it. Just hit a button and you either win or lose. The game mechanics such as free spin and stuffs are always explained at the beginning.

This is probably why casinos don't have such guides; they anticipate that almost all gamblers will already know how the games are played, and those who don't know can easily understand. Even if a casino has a UI that isn't easily understandable, one can easily find a guide from YouTube or somewhere. Even though I find it unnecessary if a casino wants to provide guides for certain games they think have difficult-to-understand gameplay then they should create a YouTube channel or something about it.

I don't remember visiting a casino, trying a new game, and not understanding how it works because it's pretty easy. Also, I forgot to mention, some casinos even have a small page that pops up when you click on a "?" that tells you how the game works.

Some of the benefits of providing game manuals/instructional essays from my findings, may include the fact that it helps to improve the gamblers experience, it helps to increase players retention memory capacity, it helps to enhance responsible gambling in the society, it helps to reduce the confusion and frustration that is felt during gambling and provides a competitive edge that is second to none.

These days however, I find out that some casinos do not include games manual or instructional essays on their website, which would have helped immensely in detailing how to play their latest games released or older games properly.
That is, for the new gamblers joining these casino sites or still learning how to properly gamble with the games they have, instead of letting them waste more resources online to watch videos on how to play such games or from funds during losses without learning much, these casinos would have helped reduce cost and increase player efficiency as well as winning potential and responsible gambling experience.



Therefore, I think if modern casinos were to adopt some best practices like  providing a concise and easy-to-understand game rules, Offer interactive demos or trials for newbies, provide links to external resources on social media like YouTube/Instagram /telegram tutorials,  Host gaming workshops or webinars on their site for newbies and Develop mobile apps with built-in tutorials, am sure that they would have redefined the gambling experience because by providing or making the availability of comprehensive game guides possible before joining their sites as fulltime gamblers, casinos would have been able to enhance the player experience, reduce the confusion often experienced by gamblers and promote responsible gaming/gambling practices.

You think casino will also include instructional material to defeat them while gambling??


I don't think the essence of providing sample or a demo practice play is showing gamblers how to beat them, no. What I think is if they have a demo version of their games and how to do the elementary task of starting up the game, deposit to play and review all necessary challenges that a gambler may encounter before the actual gambling or staking then it would make things alot  easier and bring them more patronage instead of frustrating newbies on the games. To show a demo version is not giving out strategy or "winning strategy".

No! This is not possible and no casino would do that, or doing think gambling is for those who wanna learn how to gamble or is for those that are already knows what they are doing. One thing you must understand about casino is that their interest for you to keep losing while they keep benefiting, so as a gambler you must know how to play casino before started to gamble and if you don't know then it's better to learn before you start to avoid you losing too much.

Just as said and I agree with you that casinos won't show you what to do to beat them. You have to play your game by your strategy and expect that you will be lucky on the day.
To tell you how strict they are is to a look at when you gamble and win a huge amounts they would want you to pass additional verification just to prove that you didn't by any chance free money from them. So having a complete mindset that casinos and gambling site would open up a section like that in their site is something unthinkable or unimaginable because it would never happen, and from history I have never seen any casino implemented that before unlike some exchange that makes videos available for the traders as guidance to trade in other not to lose money while trading.

Let's say some streamers are already educating some gamblers on how the games works and some some players already know how to play many games before they create account on the casino, so I don't think that the casino have a bad intentions not to have added a manual to their games. Some casino even have a free play section where you practice how to play a game.

That's literally what I see about this.. some gamblers already knows how these games works. So I don't see the need to create a Manual for the games. Most time you see these games being played online especially on YouTube and some gamblers even gets to know that they exist. What is also think is that 50% of the gamblers won't want to spend their time reading a manual because it won't help in your winning.. the casino or game interface are usually self explanatory.. you see each button having a wrong of what they do so it's not really necessary to have a Manuel.

You know one thing about gambling is that no one goes into it without being inspired by something (it could be and inspiration from another player) and what ever inspired the person is definitely someone or something that the person can actually learn what ever they want to know from. For example, if perhaps am not a gambler but I saw you gambling, If I like it, I could actually ask you to teach me.

The version that immediately comes to mind is that casinos simply do not want to post instructions and essays so that players can learn the interface and mechanics of new games at the cost of their own money. Spending money on erroneous actions.

But in general, on YouTube we can always find videos made by streamers in which they play new types of gambling games, for example, I saw that when new games appeared in Roobet, such as mission Uncrossable, many streamers immediately showed how they play this game.
But members can learn how to play using free money so they can prevents the loss. They can use real money if they can understand how to play the game.
But many people do not have the patience to still learning using free money so they will starts to use real money. If they decide like that, that will be the time for them to get lose.
It is better if they can learns from Youtube or other social media and if they want to practice playing the games, they can use free money which is available on the casino. That will gives them a chance to understand the game before they use real money to playing the game.

As much as I would have loved to agree with you completely on this, there are still some things to consider.

All that you have said above is correct, but then, what type of games are we really talking about here other than casino or slot games?, if you ask me, this games require no manual, there isn't really any need for it since these type of games are usually self explanatory on how to play them, this games basically involved just putting the amount of money you are willing to pay for every spin, then start spinning away, or is it on how to buy the bonus spins, all this things are very simple to understand even for a newbie.

In my personal conclusion, I am not saying your idea is bad, it's a very good one that if implemented by every casinos, it's definitely a plus to them and to the users, but then, this feature is not really important.

Some casino even have a free play section where you practice how to play a game.

Exactly, that’s how the demo mode works besides all casino games are just straightforward games which you just need to click the bet to play the game.

Lastly, most of the casino games is just the digital version of popular gambling games that you can play in the casino. Slot games on the other hand just vary on the way the pattern pays but the goal is still the same.


Yea, you are right. Some favorite and popular games are just straight forward, you don't need to think much to master how the game is played. Also, those casino games requires just a very small wagering amounts like $0.01 or way less in some casino, therefore if anyone wants to learn how to play a game, you could just risk small amounts like I mentioned above until you master how to play the game. For example, $0.01 Xs 100 plays is just $1, quite enough to observe the game and know how it works.
Agree, instead of giving specific instructions on how to play, the games that the casino offers always want players to have their own experiences through their observations, if too much explanation is given, it will sometimes complicate the problem, players just need to start a few times to have the next comments about the game, no need for a cumbersome tutorial. In addition, being too specific also makes players wary, although there are still instructions for a game somewhere but players' eyes don't seem to look at the question marks, they prefer to gamble on their own.

Casinos are simply gaining from the ignorance of the gamblers. They know that if they disclose some certain guidelines about a particular game to the gamblers, the gamblers will use that to their own advantage. Some games have specific strategies which if well known to gamblers through manuals and other instructional essays, the house will lose their edge over the gamblers.

On this note, gamblers owe themselves the responsibility of learning by themselves either through demo accounts, by gambling with small amounts just to familiarise themselves with the game and the interface or by learning from some YouTube channels if available.

Some land-based casinos give their gamblers the privilege of asking the casino staff for guidance on how to play the games. The gamblers can make use of that opportunity to gain some insight.
