Hello 2024!

Mia’s iGaming Journey is back. I enjoyed my short break and am looking forward to my first online casino experience of the year.

I hope everyone had a great end of December/holiday season and are so far enjoying a good start to the new year. I was lucky to take some time off and spend it with my extended family and friends, something I certainly didn’t do enough of in 2023. In fact, though I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, I have decided that this year I do want to make the effort to spend more time with the people in my life who matter to me. As most of us know all too well, life really is too short for making assumptions that there will always be a “next time”.

Anyway, personal resolutions aside, I also have a few online casino goals for 2024 that I’d like to share.

Online casino goals for 2024

• Take part in a buy-in slots tournament – Since I’ve tried a freeroll slots tournament, I figure this might be a good year to try a buy-in tournament to see if there is any real difference (beyond the obvious) and if I like one type of tourney over the other.

• Play online poker games – To be clear, I’m currently not interested in heading on over to an online poker room, but now that I’ve tried online blackjack and like it, I’d like to give poker a try at an online casino. My plan is to start with a traditional RNG online poker game first and then see what I think about the live casino version.

• Fine-tune my slots play – Now that I have about a year of experience playing online slots, I’ve had some realizations on what I like to play and what just isn’t fun for me. For instance, unless I absolutely want to play the game or its part of a free spins online casino bonus or something, I’m going to avoid playing high volatility slots. They’re just not for me. There is too much risk involved, and I need a far bigger bankroll than I currently have a budget for to play them long enough to get the most out of them.

• Play at a second online casino – I’m curious to see how a different online casino will compare to the one where I currently play (PlayOJO*). If you have a suggestion on where you think I should play for this comparison, please let me know in the comments!

Other gambling-related goals for 2024

• Head to a land-based casino – I didn’t step foot in a land-based casino in 2023. I’d like to change that this year and head back to Rama or Fallsview, or maybe even give the new land-based casino in Toronto a try (Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto).

• Add more gambling FAQ-related posts and tips posts to my blog – Since I have more experience with online casinos in Ontario and gambling in general, I’d like to share more FAQ-style posts about gambling topics I find interesting/useful/helpful, as well as share some interesting tips that I’ve personally found valuable when playing. Of course, if there is anything specific you’d like me to write about, I’m all ears! Please let me know in the comments or you can connect with me on social.

Do you have online casino goals for this year?

Is there anything that you are looking forward to trying for the first time at an online casino this year or a new online casino you’re interested in joining? Or is there an online casino game or slot that you’re keen to play?

As for me, I have no idea how many of my own goals I’ll achieve or when I’ll achieve them, but – of course – I’ll be sure to keep you posted about my progress along the way! In any case, I hope that by giving you the scoop on what I plan to accomplish, you’ll have an idea of what to expect from my blog this year.

Until next time, good luck and have fun.
