How Is The Internet Helping People Stuck In Gaming Limbo?

If you remember the days before the internet, there wasn’t such a vast hive of information open to us. What did we do when we wanted makeup tutorials or to fix things around the home? We used books, and we used libraries – we helped each other.

Gamers, too, struggled a lot. The age of instruction manuals is pretty much behind us now, however, thanks to the rise of online guides. You can more or less walk your way through the whole of a game with the right YouTube tutorial or by following long plays through Twitch.
That said, it’s not just the world of videogames that’s getting easier to manage thanks to the rise of the web. Casino fans can often find strategies and workarounds for some of the most frustrating roulette or poker problems just by taking a quick look online.

In fact, many people likely take up Chumba Casino’s no deposit bonus, for example, after reading up on the best slot RTPs and poker strategies. Chumba Casino is a pretty good place to start if you’re just trying out some new gaming tips. It’s pretty diverse!
But how else is the internet helping to make gaming less of a struggle in the modern age? What’s the knock-on effect? Let’s take a look.

Gaming made easy: Is it cheating?

Old-school gamers will remember a day and age when they would have to pull out magazines to get cheat codes and tricks. The days of calling the Nintendo Hotline up for tricks and help with puzzling games are now forgotten.

Pretty much every mainstream videogame on the planet, widely released, has some form of online guide or video playthrough attached to it. Even older games for some of Atari’s big consoles ahead of the Crash in the 1980s have resources you can follow.
But isn’t this spoiling games a little? It may be turning the experience of actually playing a game into a bit of an interactive story or adventure. The ‘choose your own adventure books’ come to mind – if you’re playing through games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild with a guide, you might be restricting the exploration and fun potential.

But that said, games are still challenging. The term ‘Nintendo Hard‘ circulates a lot online, referring to unforgivable platformers and shooters on the first consoles to hit US shores. However, there are still many games out there that are notoriously tricky.
Therefore, online FAQS and video tutorials arguably help get over an annoying hurdle or puzzle. However, it’s probably best not to use them if you want maximum enjoyment.

Do casino tips work?

Coming back to casino games, let’s be clear. There is no 100% guaranteed way to ‘game the system’ when it comes to casino titles. Poker depends on the luck of the hand, your own tells, and how other people are playing. Roulette and blackjack are entirely random. Slots, even more so. There is also the house edge, which means that casinos will always have a way to make money. That isn’t to say you won’t make any big money on casino games, but that these sites and games lounges have to stay open somehow!

So, we really do think casino strategies and tips revolve around luck. There’s no secret formula or cheat code you can use to unlock unlimited free spins at max bet. There’s also no way for you to hoodwink the dealer. Card counting is discouraged. The fact is, the fun of a casino game comes from the tension and the possibility, not just the big wins. Why do you think so many people often enjoy playing them online for fun?

That hasn’t stopped tons of videos and online tutorials for casino games popping up over the years. Even with a quick Google, you’ll still be able to find videos that will show you the ‘big secrets’ of baccarat.

We don’t mean to downplay this side of things – online tutorials and guides help people unlock new ways to play and have fun. While you might not be able to beat the house, you can at least change the way you look at top games.

Is It worth looking for help?

The bottom line is, yes – it’s always a good idea to look for help with games if you’re stuck! Just as you’d look for news and tips if you’re a sports fan, there’s nothing wrong with hunting down a tutorial or two to get you moving in the right direction.
However, just be careful not to spoil the experience – as you might just find out more than you bargained for!
