If you’ve spent most of your time surfing the internet, you’re probably familiar with memes. These funny posts can be very relatable in the most comedic way. The pictures are laughter-inducing, and the creative captions on these memes are becoming more creative over time.
However, do you know memes existed long before the internet was created? Let’s discuss memes more and see what memes relate to casino enthusiasts!
What is a Meme?
Explaining what a meme is to someone can be tough. However, the term itself isn’t a new word that has only emerged recently.
The word ‘meme’ is a short form of the Greek word ‘mimema’ that means ‘something imitated. This word was first mentioned by Richard Dawkins, an author and evolutionary biologist, in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.
Dawkins explained that anything capable of replicating itself will also undergo natural selection; this includes beliefs and ideas. The simplest example would be a certain theory passed from one person to another, but a derpy picture of a cat that does the rounds on social media can also be a great example.
With how easily we can share pictures with people nowadays, it’s understandable why memes so easily go viral. However, the earliest meme tracked back to the 1920s when a soldier made a doodle that was seen by many and became the talk of the town.
If you look at the meme above, you might think it’s a recent one because it keeps trending across online platforms. However, this is a comic strip made in 1921. Yet, it only became popular after the internet discovered it, and found it to be relatable and funny.
Casino Memes
The casino community isn’t left out regarding memes. We’ve seen many memes that would only be relatable to casino enthusiasts. So, if you need to laugh today, keep reading to find some of the best casino memes the internet has seen!
The Purrfect Pawker Face
Cats have somehow become the fundamental icon of memes. For some reason, people love seeing derpy cats and treat these fluffy creatures as peak humor. It’s even funnier that this meme uses two orange cats as its subject, as the internet has recently recognized that cats with orange fur tend to be more unpredictable than others.
Despite all the theories about how psychopathic an orange cat can be, most of them are, in fact, more energetic and territorial than most. So, can you imagine them playing poker at the same table as you? You’ll probably lose in the blink of an eye or find your drink knocked off the table to distract you from the game!
No-Deposit? Deal!
If you’re a seasoned casino player, you know how most online casinos offer attractive bonuses. They’re highly competitive in gaining new players’ attention, so finding highly appealing deals for welcome bonuses is not strange. One of the biggest treasures amongst casino bonuses is, you might have guessed it at this point, a no-deposit free spin!
For slot players, finding a great free spins deal is like a huge reward. However, most casinos attach wagering requirements that will block the player from withdrawing before they meet all the requirements. That’s probably why the no-wagering spins came second to the no-deposit spins.
Innovative Features
One of the most popular types of casino games is slots, so it’s common for players to see new titles each month. The thing is, these developers are trying their best to provide newer features, to give a fresher experience for players. However, when developers change things that we’re already highly used to, the emotional roller coaster hits can be extreme!
Like the meme portrayed, most online slots with a bonus feature use three triggering symbols. Once three triggering symbols land, the bonus feature will be activated. However, some slots, albeit rare, use four symbols minimum to trigger the bonus feature. This new concept tends to mess with our common knowledge, resulting in a ‘panik’ state that the meme showcases.
Realization Hits
Card games like poker rely on your instincts a lot. Therefore, it’s normal to quickly fold when you think you have little to no chance of winning. However, we’ll never know the result until the game ends, so when it does, and you turn out to have the winning hand, the regret hits.
Many of us are overthinkers so that the regret would stay for a while. So, this meme is highly relatable for us.
Generational Gap
Casinos have been around for a long while, so the older generations who aren’t used to how the internet works might strongly disagree when you say online casinos are better than land-based ones. This meme trended a while ago within the casino community, who know how it feels to explain how online casinos work to their older loved ones.
