Topic: Why do casinos not include games manual or instructional essays on their site? - page 5. (Read 994 times)

A strange topic, of course. I have also not seen a single casino that provides training materials on gambling. Are they really necessary? It seems to me that there are many videos and other materials on the Internet that you can use to learn how to play, if you want. And what is the point? Yes, I understand that there are, for example, card games that I am not good at and it would really do me good to learn the rules of the game. I still don’t know how to play poker and I don’t understand some aspects of this game. I have lived to this age and here is the result. Consequently, I was not interested in it. If I have free time, I will look into learning this craft, so to speak.

Most casino games are not difficult to understand, like slot, you don't need much to learn, no much skills required, you just play and try your luck. There are external guides on the internet that newbies can take advantage to see how gambling is done. Newbies can take advantage of demo gambling to learn before staking their money, so I don't think that it's necessary for gambling sites to have special manual guides for gambling. Besides I doubt that gambling sites will care to school gamblers on how to gamble, they wouldn't mind you losing some money while you're learning whatever it is that you want to understand.

Instructional essays? For one, casino games aren't that complicated. Almost all of them are random and luck-based. They aren't puzzles and chess games. Most only require you to choose between above or under, black or red, dealer or player, odd or even, and so on.

Secondly, casinos aren't offering games that are peculiar to their platform. Casino games are shared by all casinos. They're old and familiar games. Which led me to wonder which particular games you are so confused that you want them to include game manuals and instructional essays.

it's because they assume that from the way they've design the interface, users should easily understand how to play the games without necessarily reading some piece of guides on each of the game on the site. Every real gambler can easily understand most of the games on a gambling site and wouldn't want to bore themselves trying to read some guidance on how to go about playing those games. People hardly take time to read the teams of service let alone reading manuals on how to play games. If a casino comes with a demo, that's going to be a fair enough way of schooling users on how things works but if it doesn't come with one, it wouldn't take you long to understand how most of these casinos works from a first look except you're not a tech savvy in the first place.

What could be an alternative solution is a prompt that comes while registering which walks newbies accross the functionality of the casinos and allows those that already knows how it works to skip it.

The number of games available or provided by the casino can indeed be said to be quite simple, even I think when there are beginners who see gambling advertisement videos and are interested in doing it, they themselves will find a way to understand all the deposit or withdrawal processes as well as the games they mean or want. When the casino provides a game with game explanation instructions, I think what will happen is that more people or players will ignore it.
With casinos that don't provide things like this, I don't think it's a big problem, and it seems that the casino itself will realize that this will be ignored more often than noticed, including those who are still beginners. The casino will only display things that interest many people and after many people are interested they will find their own way to complete their interest in gambling.

Using up your own common sense should suffice or something that would really be enough for you to be able to know on how the game should be played specially with Dice or Slot games on which this doesnt really need up that technical knowledge about on how to do it on which you could really be able to play on just simply push up that roll or pull button with those games and then you're good to go. This is why most casinos wont really be giving out any instructions because it isnt really that hard to understand the game mechanics after all. I would be able to understand if  this one will really be put up on sports betting on how to make a certain bet yet there are people who dont even know on how to place their bets on choosing up on a particular sport and specific lines or choices that it is really that available. There's a distinctive differences in between casino games and sports betting on which you could be able to say on which one really needs up that kind of set of instructions but just like on what you have said that you could actually be able to search up things on google
and it doesnt really cost you too much time on finding these informations yet you could really be able to find those things in a few searches and able to understand about the instructions on how its been played if you are really that trying to search for more informations.

The thing is that casino games are generally very simple. For example, if we take roulette or slot machines. Can anyone have difficulty using the game mechanics of these games?
I don't think these games are that complicated. Besides, almost every bookmaker usually has a fairly detailed description for each game.
But perhaps the author of the topic means something completely different. Perhaps he means that the casino should teach players how to beat the casino itself. Of course, no one will do this. It is not profitable for the casino to teach others how to beat themselves. And it is impossible, the casino has an advantage.

I never thought about it, with the increasing number of online casinos that are developing, it doesn't make me think about any of these things, but what I have done is occasionally I click on a feature in a game that I play, more or less there is an explanation about the game, maybe these things include game guides.
Many online casinos, some of them provide demo-based gambling, maybe it's for introductions to those who are still beginners. However, I myself understand gambling with its rules and how to play it because I see it from my friend who gambles, with him often playing and I often seeing it and over time I understand the game, as well as the new game that I found from my friend. So I myself know the game guide just because I see my friend, not because I deliberately look for a way or game guide myself.

Some do have this while some don't, a gambling guide could be in any form, some can make us of the manual guide while some uses the tutorials on video clip to learn what was intended to pass across on gamblers while learning about them and gambling, there may be no much emphasis laid on the availability or use of the game manual because they see also that only fewer gamblers might have developed a reading habit by taking their time going through a manual, except they were being informed.

All gambling games are easy for new users to understand, even slots only need to set bets and press buttons, the rest can indeed use demos, some casinos have provided them.

There is no need to include a game manual ... casinos will not do this because I am sure this will be a lot of demands from various parties, there are also other guides that are some articles published but not from casinos directly.

Just play the demo until you learn the game. What more instruction could you possibly need? Most gambling games in existence are incredibly simple and do not require any in-depth 'strategizing'.

And when it comes to the classics, you can always just google.

Are demo options always available in all casinos? I'm asking because I have only been able to notice such on a few casinos; the rest is straight practice with real money. Well,  if there is a demo, it will only take little time to learn about new games, but if there's none, then some games in the casino will remain unpopular as it will cost a lot to learn how to play them.

To be honest, I have not seen any training materials except for one game and that is poker. I remember that about 10 years ago, one of the most famous poker sites had training materials and even a forum where you could analyze hands, listen to advice from more experienced players, analyze hands of others and much more. This is what completely absorbed me, at first I spent a lot of time to learn all the intricacies of poker, then I started playing for real money, but unfortunately only in practice I realized how difficult this activity is. And to beat your opponents, you just have to live this game day after day, I could not stand this pace, although I still really like poker, but I have not played it for a long time.

Many games that casinos offer to gamblers are not developed by the casinos, and the casino expects that since some of these games are not exclusive to them, you should already know how to play them before coming on to the casino to play.

Since these games were not developed by them, it will also be extra duty trying to put together "how to play" guides for so many games on their platform that they did not create.

Gambling games are easy to understand, I think even beginners who come to play will easily be able to after trying one round of play.
So really a guidebook or instructional essay is not important and no casino provides this, say a slot game then you can try with a demo game because it is already provided by the casino.

I think guides are only for education, I agree with this statement, but will casino games be educational? I think this is contradictory.

Maybe because it’s not their best idea to let the players learn to beat them somehow. Being able to facilitate your games in a way that you know how to, I think, would be a disadvantage with the casino itself. And what type of games are you talking about? That should have the manual. If you are talking about slot machines, it doesn’t need it.

What I thought of your topic is that they would somehow create an educational section on their sites, maybe like a master class or something. It’s a different category, in my opinion.

I agree. Also the idea that a gambler won't be engaging oneself to a game he doesn't know how things work. In most instances, you are just placing your bet so I guess there's no need for such thing. Demo feature on the other hand is already present with some platforms wherein demo accounts are used to give initial impression to new players on how a platform feels once they actually transition into it. Problem only is that with demo accounts, win rates are higher which causes confusion to some players once they play on real time.
No that's not it I guess. Casinos are already earning from each of the transactions and there's no need for them to take advantage of their player's ignorance of the games 'coz if that's so they should have just rig the games in the first place. It is just the idea that it will consume their time doing so, for something or concern that is not a representative of all gamblers. Ofcourse every gambler is expected to know things especially mechanics of a game.

Yes of all the Casinos I have visited I have not seen any of them that has any instructional essay but however the only one I have actually seen something of that nature are those games that involves spinning because I have seen some Casino who usually show people how the spinning works if it fell into some certain numbers but apart from that I have not really seen instructions on the other games, though I don't no if is a strategy for them, so that users will easily loss at the first time since they would not no how they would play the game, perhaps is the policy of every casinos not to have any kind of instructional essay to guide the users, who knows.

As most casinos already provide those information, they don't need to provide the manuals for each game. A short step-by-step guide is more than enough as most games also just need common sense to play it. You can easily spot those short guides by clicking the button right beside the game depending on how each casino is displaying the game. Also, most games are self-explanatory, hence, they don't need to give the detailed procedure on how to play the game as most of them are common games that everyone knows already.
If you are still in doubt, you can easily search the game over the net, and you will get thousands and thousands of instructions how to play such game.

What I see as a Potential solution to this topic and the issue of using a demo account, and from the comments I have read so far,  makes me want to elaborate  on some facts about these casinos being able to create a Dedicated game guides section at little or no cost, as well as can develop Interactive tutorials within the games they newly launched or added, use Pop-up hints and tips,  FAQ sections, Collaborate with intelligent gaming experts for educational content that's graphic, that is for those that really need indepth knowledge of the games they choose to only gamble on, they can also have In-game demos or trials without little or no need for demo accounts and ultimately, a very Responsive customer support that is ready to educate and instruct.

It isn't much, if you think about it because with the introduction of AI integrations and bots, a new user may not need to go through much reading or studying section if some of the above stated potential solutions can be well emphasized and developed, mostly for newer games with newer features.
