We all know that when we begin playing in online casinos, that one of the best ways to learn the games, and to practice the best betting techniques is to take the opportunity that is almost always provided by online casinos - to play free games.

There is, however, one important point to bear in mind, and that is that most people will play free games slightly differently to how they will play real money games. This is fairly obvious, when you think about it, because when the time comes to place real money at an online casino, you know that it is your hard-earned cash that you are using, and not online casino play money. Naturally, and this is a good thing, you will be more cautious with your real money, because you would prefer it to turn into more money, rather than into less money, or no money!

When playing free games at a reputable online casino, the games should be set up in the same way that similar real money games are set up, and that should include using the same random number generator (RNG) for the game. This would mean that the chance of winning in your free game should be about the same as your chance of winning in real money games. Because of this, when you are using the free games as a test run, as your practice games, you can obviously place your bets with slightly less abandon than if you are playing real money games, but you should be able to get a realistic idea of how the real money game will go for you.

If you pretend that the free money games you are playing are real money games, and you bet according to a set bankroll, which you have divided up as you would for real money games, you will be able to create a more realistic model of your real money online casino sessions than if you had simply wagered unrealistic amounts in the free online casino games.

The opposite can also be true, that you could pretend that your real money games are free games, which might mean that you will place wagers a little less carefully, and you may find that your winnings increase because, for example, you were less afraid to place a maximum coin bet on a slot game you are playing with real money, which, if won, will result in a much better win than if you had placed a much smaller wager.

Think about how you play differently when you play free and real money games, and consider changing your strategy for your real money games if you find that you come out as a winner for your free games, and as a loser for real money games. Do not forget to check that the games are set according to the same odds, and with the same RNG beforehand.
