Becoming Bonus Smart

Train your 👀 to recognize where you can profit from our fair and generous promotions

Any experienced online casino player will quickly recognize that Uptown Aces has one of the most varied collections of weekly promotions. New players may feel overwhelmed by the possibilities and it’s important for us that players redeem the promotions that will get maximum return for each individual. Every player is different. Some come for purely entertainment value, others for the occasional win, other still for a life-changing jackpot.

In the article below we will advise you on which promotions to claim based on your style of play. We also suggest you check our article on 7 habits that are shared by effective players around the world

1) Let’s identify first what kind of player you are:

Entertainment value: you play in your leisure hours as a hobby or pastime. There is no sense of urgency in getting a win. What is important is getting good returns so the playing sessions last as long as possible and you get your money’s worth. You deposit low to medium amounts. Usually wager low amounts to make your deposits last.

Casuals: you don’t play regularly, but when you do decide to play you are looking for a balance of thrills & winnings. You look to win but understand that it’s not always possible. You want to feel the thrill of a win building up, even if in the end you bust. Your wagers fluctuate, wagering higher when you are on a good roll. You deposit from low to medium-high amounts.

Serious or professional: You make it a business to beat the casino. You know the rules of the games and play them with perfect strategies. You bet hard to win big. You deposit big amounts.

Identify what type of player you are and then go for the bonuses that best fit your style!

We will look at 7 habits that are shared by effective players around the world. Practicing these habits does not guarantee unprecedented success at a casino, but will reduce the risk of the detrimental aspects of gambling.

1) Set a budget

It does not matter if you are a high-roller playing nightly for enormous profits or a Sunday gambler placing a few penny wager for a modest jackpot. What matters is to start the playing session with a set budget. This is not a hard habit to set in place. First you must look at your income and calculate all necessary expenses (rent, mortgage, utility bills, groceries, and so on) and set aside the rest for what can be called leisure activities (movies, gaming, eating out or hobbies). I recommend not spending more than 75% of your leisure activities budget on gaming. Then decide if you want to use this money in a single playing session or over several days or weeks. This habit will allow you to fully enjoy every minute of your Uptown Aces experience with peace of mind.

2) Get informed

You do not have to be a rocket-scientist to figure out how to play at an online casino. But you can still gather vital information about the casino, its games and promotions that will help you perform better. Experience in online gaming will pay off in the long run. Learn about what a game’s RTP (return to player) is, what low and high-variance games are, and the different terms of a promotion (maximum cash out, sticky/non-withdrawable bonus, max bet limit, restricted games and so on) plus the terms of the casino (weekly withdrawal limits, security documents procedures). When you are fully informed about every aspect of your gaming experience, then you won’t get big unpleasant surprises such as finding out that your winnings have been voided because you played a table game with a slots-only bonus.

3) Play it slow

The casino experience is not only about making a quick buck but also about enjoying the rollercoaster ride of ups and down in luck. What often happens, however, is that we are so engrossed in the thrill of the game that we momentarily forget that we are actually playing with our hard-earned cash. Thus, a lot of experienced players have learnt to play slower so they can have time to meditate on their next move. It doesn’t matter if you play skill-based games such as Blackjack and Video Poker, or only games of pure chance such as Scratch Cards or Slots. Make sure you have enough ‘thinking gaps’ in your play session to consider moving to another game or as we will see in the next section, calling it quits.

4) Know when to call it quits

This habit takes time to develop in the individual and it is important to learn to end a session both when you are winning and when you are losing. Pay attention to patterns in the games so you can learn when it is realistic that the games won’t pay more. This is essential when you have achieved a decent win. Continuing playing after a certain point likely entails that you will put the money back in the casino’s coffers. Likewise, if you have lost your set budget, take a deep breath to cool down and consider ending the session and playing again another day when your luck could change. If you reduce the risk of further losses and maximize your winnings, then you have more opportunities to play in the future.

5) Get full value

Playing at Uptown Aces casino has a lot of perks and you should try to take advantage of every single one of them. Join the loyalty club to receive extra rewards and cashback bonuses. Learn which games grant the highest rate of comp points and redeem them often. Make sure you check our daily bonus chart, read the weekly newsletters and message center in the lobby that often have free spins and other rewards for customers.

6) Learn the basic strategies

Not all games have effective strategies but there are some that require a bit of skill and tactics to ensure you reduce the house edge to a minimum. I’ve heard about many slot machine strategies but generally they are nothing more than wishful thinking. However, games likes Video Poker and Blackjack have certain sets of rules you can follow that will mathematically increase your chances of success. Knowing what cards to hold in Video Poker and when to ‘double’ in Blackjack can be efficient ways for you to increase your rate of winning!

7) Don’t drink and play  

We all love to get spoiled by casino waiters as they keep our glasses full of beer and cocktails. But it carries a risk of ruining your success at a casino table or game. There is no secret that a tipsy mind can make wrong decisions, and worse of all, you are likely to forget all the previously mentioned tips and habits we’ve mentioned in this article! So avoid drinking while you play. If you cannot resist the combination of casino excitement coupled with a relaxing drink, then limit the intake to one beer or glass of wine per every 1.5 hours and make sure you’ve had a hearty meal before your first drink.

Crypto Sunday

"Bitcoin changes absolutely everything," says the co-founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, “I don't think there is anything more important in my lifetime to work on."

Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency. It is known for its quick swings in the market. At the start of 2020, it was trading at around $7,000 per Bitcoin. By April 2021, it was worth over $60,000. Today’s value stands around $34,000 per Bitcoin. 

Bitcoin is a lot like our high volatility games, which have quite unpredictable behavior. The higher volatility a slot has, the higher payouts may be won if you play them at the right time.

Using Bitcoin is similar. If you bought Bitcoin a year ago, your Bitcoin value would have tripled by today. Storing a bit of Bitcoin may not be a bad idea; it can one day pay off big time!

If you like big payouts, then it’s time to try our high volatility games such as our All-Ways-Pay slot: 

Asgard

The original Aasgard slot has four unique bonus features, with wild symbols, multipliers and morphing symbols that can result in explosive payouts!

Did you know?

At Uptown Aces you can deposit and cash out with three different cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC).

All these digital currencies have a lot in common, being decentralized cryptocurrencies. There are small differences in terms of the speed and fees per transaction. Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most popular and valuable of the three, but all three are currently traded widely throughout the online world.  


Get ready to make Bitcoins with our Summer Daily Bitcoin Bonus!

150% Bitcoin Bonus + 150 Spins on top!

Coupon SUMMER150COIN

Offer requires a $25+ Crypto currency deposit and it holds 30x roll over + 5x on Asgard winnings. Redeem daily until end of summer!

The Joker has been one of Batman’s most recognized supervillains, appearing for the first time on the actual debut issue of the comic book ‘Batman’. While lacking any superhuman abilities, Arthur Fleck is a criminal mastermind with a sadistic sense of humor who dresses up as a joker and uses his expertise to try and kill his adversaries.

Joaquin Phoenix is the seventh actor to portray the Joker in a film, after Jared Leto’s and Heath Ledger’s modern interpretations of the character. For the role, Phoenix lost a noticeable amount of weight in preparation, and based his laughs on videos he studied of people suffering from “pathological laughter”.

The film is an exploration of Fleck’s disregard by society, as an impoverished stand-up comedian who seeks revenge on his detractors. It is directed by Todd Phillips (from The Hangover and Borat fame) and its script was inspired in Martin Scorsese’s films Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The King of Comedy.

Joker will first be screened at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2019, and also be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2019. After that, the film is scheduled to be released in the US on October 9, 2019.

A budget of $55 million is what was used for production, and experts are expecting ‘Joker’ to gross $60-90 million during its opening weekend in the US and Canada. If the film performs well, Phillips would be interested in producing a sequel.

The waiting game begins to see if Todd Phillips–directed, Joaquin Phoenix–starring Joker film will be monumentally awesome of not, but one thing’s for sure: it will be an interesting flick to catch at the theater. Whatever doesn’t kill you…
