Online games such as Bingo, Poker and Roulette are a mixture of skill and luck. And as such many people employ little rituals that are felt to bring them good luck before playing.
Here are a few of the more interesting ones we’ve come across:
Janet, who plays roulette in an online casino said, “I know it sounds crazy, but I always wear my hair a particular way when I am going to play Bingo online. No-one can see me, but I win my first game when I had my hair in this style so I equate it with good luck!”
Janet is not quite so bizarre as Ted who wears one red slipper and one black one whenever he visits an online casino to play roulette. “I can’t even remember how it started but it’s a ritual now. My family laugh about it, but they’re starting to believe it works as I have consistently won games when I’ve done this.”
Poker player Simone admitted, “I have to have my favourite music playing when I play poker online and I never play on a Wednesday, for some reason my luck isn’t at its peak midweek, so however tempted I am, I discipline myself. Oh the exception being that I will play if it’s a full moon on a Wednesday. I guess I’m superstitious!”
So if you’re ready to play casino games online don’t forget to put on your lucky hat!
I think superstition is a strange thing. I walk under ladders and other things that people wouldn’t do, it doesn’t really bother me
