Top 5 Ways to Break a Bad Luck Streak

Everyone has experienced those times when the cards just won’t fall your way. No matter where you place your bets, sometimes they just never seem to pay off. For days at a time you may try your luck at a slot game aiming to hit a progressive jackpot, only to leave the game one evening and find out the next morning that it’s been hit by someone else. Like good luck streaks, bad luck streaks are a part of any and every gambler’s experiences. Though naturally tough to withstand, we've got a few tips on how to make it through a prolonged streak of bad luck until good fortune once again smiles upon you.

1. Take a break

One losing gaming session after another can exact a high psychological toll on you and make you feel as though “I'm never going to win”. That is of course a completely false assumption – your lucky day may arrive at any given moment that the stars align.

Nonetheless, sometimes a short break from online casino gaming is in order to help you clear your head and ward away the negative thoughts. Once you've stepped away for a little while, it’ll make coming back to try your luck again with a fresh start that much more enjoyable.

2. Try new games

Perhaps you've gotten unlucky because you've been playing the same games for too long? Of course we all have our favourites we love to play but sometimes the hot streak rests with other casino games. If you've always stuck to slots, maybe give table games a try for the first time? If you only play progressive jackpot games, why not try some classic slots or arcade games for a change? Just like in land-based casinos some players have superstitions about “lucky machines”, it’s entirely possible that you may have a lucky run ahead of you but you've just got to be playing the “right” game at the right time.

3. Reduce your bet size

It’s possible you may feel that you’re running really badly, but it’s only because your bets are too high for your bankroll. Lowering your wagers will naturally make your funds last longer and limit the swings you experience (reduce your variance). Even if you continue to get unlucky, your losses won’t be as severe and you’ll be able to turn them around that much more quickly once lady luck visits you again.

4. Play only when you can concentrate fully and not be distracted

It’s possible that some of the losses you've experienced have been as a result of not fully concentrating on the games. One way to minimize (and even eliminate) these types of losses is to only play when you’re 100% free to concentrate on your play. Multitasking is indeed an admirable skill, but not when it might cost you money. Instead of rushing to get a few minutes of game-play in during your lunch break, why not wait until you get home to sit down, chill out, and have a nice long, relaxed and focused gaming session. This might be just the thing to turn your luck around.

5. Capitalize on deposit bonuses make the most of offers available to you

The most obvious way to turn your luck around is by taking advantage of excellent bonus offers and promotions we have that literally stuff your account with extra money. Losing some money hurts a lot less when you've still got that much more in your account to keep playing with and try to reverse the tide.
