How to Actually Make Money with Online Casino Games

If you’ve ever played casino games online, then you certainly know that they are all about luck.
Except for poker, you won’t be able to use your skills to play any of them with more success.
This effectively means you can’t score consistent wins playing online casino games.
However, that doesn’t imply that the games are rigged in any way — it just means that, when luck is involved, there’s no telling what the outcome will be.
Despite all that, there are still methods you can implement in your casino gambling experience if you want to make more money from these games. So, let’s take a look at what you need to learn if you want to earn more significant profits while having fun.
Always Learn How to Play the Game
Most 1 dollar casino games are easy to play (especially video slots), but that doesn’t mean you should avoid learning the basics before you begin. In other words — you have to study the game carefully if you want to make money from it.
With slots, you can’t just jump headfirst into any new game. You need to read up on the RTP, the volatility, and what the game has to offer first to ensure it’s worth playing. Then, try it for free to see all of that in practice. Only after you’ve played it for a while and read up on the rules and features should you start playing it with real money.
The same goes for table games, even the live dealer ones. You can’t just play a live dealer game without doing some research first, as that’s a sure-fire way to lose your money.
Don’t Get Distracted By the Dealer
Speaking of live dealer games, there’s another piece of advice we can give you here. If you want to play these games, you should never get distracted by how attractive the dealers are or what they are doing. This can easily lead to you not thinking clearly when playing, thus investing more money than you wanted.
Human dealers are trained to exploit your weaknesses, and no matter how innocent they pretend to be, you should not get distracted by them. Play your game, and don’t pay too much attention to them.
Use the Bonus Offers and Other Promotions
As long as you’ve read the terms to see whether they are favourable, you should definitely use bonuses to your advantage.
This is especially true with no deposit offers, match bonuses, and free spins. You rarely have anything to lose here, as you probably would have used the same amount of money on gambling anyway. However, this way, you’ll use it not only to gamble but also to gain additional bonus funds or free spins.
Before you claim any offer, make sure to read what the wagering requirements and limits are, as these are the most important bonus terms you need to know. Don’t claim bonuses that allow you to win only small amounts and never claim offers with massive wagering requirements, i.e. anything above 40 times.
Never Invest More Than You’re Willing to Lose
With all forms of gambling, you must have a specific budget in advance. That way, you’ll always invest only the money you’re willing to lose.
However, you have to learn how to control yourself as well. Don’t rush for the credit card if you’ve lost it all. It’s much better to give up than to go about chasing your losses, as that’s precisely when you start losing more money than you should. Remain calm and allow yourself to think clearly. After all, you can always come back another day.
Don’t Look for Patterns — These are Luck-Based Games
Always remember that casino games are based on luck, which means that they are entirely random. As long as they come from respectable software providers and use Random Number Generators (RNGs), there’s no point in looking for patterns on how they work.
Therefore, even if it might look like the occurrences are orchestrated, you need to remember that they are not. Sometimes it might seem like they are, but this is just your mind playing tricks on you, trying to find some patterns, as it does with anything in life.
The Bottom Line
Making money with online casino games is not easy, but it’s certainly possible. You only need to rely on your brain, not your heart, and use the advice you’ve found in this short guide. If you go down that road, you’re bound to win more than you have in the past.

Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort Rising in Kings Mountain as First Year of Construction is Completed

Significant construction has been completed during the first year of work on the $1 billion Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort in Kings Mountain, N.C., a site off Interstate-85 only 35 miles from Charlotte and close to the South Carolina border.
Construction on all aspects of the project is in full swing, with the foundations for the casino complex and hotel completed several months ago, the casino complex at its full height and expanding horizontally, and steel continuing to rise for the 24-story, 385-room hotel. The hotel tower framing is now 10 stories high, with an additional floor being added nearly every week. At completion, the hotel will be connected to the casino complex.
The casino complex includes the introductory casino on the first level, three levels of covered parking, a back-of-house level and top level with the main casino floor and restaurants. The introductory casino, set to open in spring 2026, will include 1350 slot machines, 20 table games, a 40-seat restaurant, a bar, sports betting kiosks, and Lucky North Rewards desk.
The introductory casino will replace the current temporary (prelaunch) casino, which continues to grow in popularity as it nears its fourth anniversary on July 1.
The main casino complex is targeted to open in 2027. It will be about 2 million square feet and feature:
• 4300 slot machines
• 100 table games
• 11 dining outlets, including a steakhouse, Italian restaurant, marketplace with six venues, café, and grab-and-go outlet
• A players lounge
• 11 bars, including a center bar and sports bar
• A 2700-space parking garage built under the casino complex and 800 surface parking spaces
The project has created hundreds of construction jobs. Upon completion, the casino resort will employ an estimated 2200 regional residents and citizens of the Catawba Nation.
“This casino resort will be an economic game changer for Catawba citizens and a force to drive the economy of Cleveland County and the City of Kings Mountain. This project is a testament to our resilience, our commitment to self-sufficiency, and our determination to build a better future for ourselves and our future generations,” Catawba Nation Chief Brian Harris said.
Harris noted the temporary casino is contributing to many community and charitable organizations in the region, and that will only increase as the full casino resort opens.
The project is being led by the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority under Vice President Trent Troxel, with Yates-Metcon as the construction general contractor; Delaware North as the gaming management, development and hospitality consultant; and SOSHNY Design architects.
“Once again, I want to thank the Cleveland County, City of Kings Mountain, federal and state leaders who have supported the Catawba Nation’s efforts develop the casino resort in its ancestral lands in North Carolina,” Harris said.
Work has also been completed on two key infrastructure projects for development of the permanent casino resort that were funded by the Catawba Nation: doubling the size of the Dixon School Road Bridge over I-85 near the casino entrance and installing new sewer lines near the casino.
