Casino slot machine tips

Online casino sites to play on real money

If your goal is to win big, then double up feature is exactly what you need. It’s predictable and easy to simulate, I use it in some of my recommended slot strategies. All casino games, including slots, are disadvantageous for a player. Their RTP is lower than 100 % and they favor the casino. That means that you need luck to win, which is exactly why higher volatility is generally better for you.

Slot machine tips, tricks and best strategies

Have you ever stumbled upon a scam website presenting a secret slot strategy which will make you a lot of money? Don’t expect anything like that in this article. Slots can’t be defeated in the long run.

Although slots are theoretically unbeatable, there were some cases of players able to legally or illegally take advantage of their weaknesses and make money. You can read more about them in my article how to beat slots.

Really useful slot strategies are actually about finding the balance among following factors:

Chance to win

Size of the winnings

Cost

Thrill

Playing time

Every player looks for something else, so there is no ideal strategy that fits everyone. I will show you my strategies, each suitable for a different kind of players. Finding out which of them fits you best is up to you.

You’ll more likely understand how my strategies work when you have already understood the concepts of slots RTP and variance.

At first glance it seems online slot machines are a 100% game of chance. And they really are, at least in the terms of a single game round. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t influence your chances by using the right betting strategy and choosing the right game to play.

Here is a list of factors that define your slots betting strategy:

How to determine a bet size

Decision when to stop

Selection of a slot game

Decision when to use the gamble feature (red or black)

Selected number of winlines

In the rest of this article I’ll teach you how to use the choices above to play slots more effectively.

While slot RTP and volatility apply to a single game round, the RTP and volatility of betting strategy apply to the whole game session or casino visit. The following article describes in detail what I mean by a betting strategy.

Tips & tricks for slots

All casino games, including slots, are disadvantageous for a player. Their RTP is lower than 100 % and they favor the casino. That means that you need luck to win, which is exactly why higher volatility is generally better for you.

Let me explain… in low-volatility games, the results over time tend to stay closer to the expected return, which is lower than 100 %. On the contrary, in high-volatility games, you are still losing money in the long run, however, you have a chance to win a big sum of money, thanks to the high volatility.

From a different perspective, you can win the same amount of money while placing smaller bets. If you place smaller bets with higher volatility, you will lose less in the long run, while also maintaining a chance to win big.

That’s why the majority of my slot tricks and strategies are based on increasing volatility, while also considering the game’s RTP.

Trick #1: avoid bet types which significantly decrease RTP

The majority of online slots have the same RTP for all kinds of bets. However, some slots derived from land-based slot games add significant disadvantage to certain bets. In this case you should always choose the bet type without the disadvantage. I will use two examples to demonstrate this fact.

Bet on all 3 winlines costs 2 cents and bet on 1 winline costs 1 cent. It’s quite obvious that bet on 1 line has a huge disadvantage and its RTP will be extremely low. Therefore, it is always beneficial to choose the bet of 2 cents.

Example 2: full bets unlock bonus features that double your win on three joker symbols. The game without this feature probably won’t have very attractive RTP. So either choose another slot or play the full bet with highest RTP.

Trick #2: use double up feature to regulate the volatility

The double up feature (red/black) gives you the option to double your win with a 50% chance. In some games (like slots from novomatic) you can do this multiple times in a row (13 I think).

This feature dramatically increases the volatility of the game. From a long-term perspective, you exchange a lot of smaller wins for proportionally fewer wins of higher value.

For example, without using the double up feature, you could win 40 times, winning $1 each time. However, if you used the double up feature up to 3 times, you could win 5 times, winning $8 each time. The long-term expected value is the same, but the individual wins are bigger.

If your goal is to win big, then double up feature is exactly what you need. It’s predictable and easy to simulate, I use it in some of my recommended slot strategies.

Note: be careful about using the double up feature when playing with bonus money, as it might be forbidden by the bonus terms and conditions. This applies also when playing with free spins no deposit bonuses, where your choice is also limited by the game for which you've received the free spins.

Trick #3: decrease the number of winlines to increase volatility

Did you know that if you set the game to 1 winline instead of 10, you’ll most likely get 5 to 10 times higher game volatility?

When you bet $2 on one line, your average win will be much higher (and less frequent) as when you bet $0.20 on 10 lines. When you bet on 10 lines at the same time, the wins in the paytable are 10 times smaller. In most slots you usually hit a winning combination only on a small number of the 10 lines, so your average wins are also lower.

Note that this trick usually can’t be used by high rollers, as the maximum bet per line is usually restricted. But there are also slots which are an exception – like cleopatra from IGT.

However, if you are a player who doesn’t bet more than $2 in a single round, this trick is a must-have.

How to win big on slots

The simple answer to this question is – you have to risk big to win big. However, if you want to win big with highest possible odds, you have to push the volatility of your strategy up to the sky.

Controversially, the most effective way to WIN BIG is to try to lose as fast as possible. That doesn’t make sense, does it? Let me explain.

Statistically (in the long run), you lose money with every bet you place. That is how the RTP works. To lose less in the long run, you have to minimize the total sum of your bets. To minimize the total sum of your bets, you have to try to lose your budget with as little betting as possible. If you do so and RTP remains the same, the principles of statistics reward you with a better chance for a big win.

Slot machine betting strategies

Now for my favorite part of the casino.Guru website. Slot math is really my passion and some of the strategies below were invented by me independently from strategies published on other websites. I tested each of them with my own simulation software using reverse-engineered slot games. Any sharing is appreciated :).

"smart gambler" – gamble up to desired win

Volatility: variable

RTP: very high (up to 96%)

Time of play: variable

Smart gambler is my favorite slot betting strategy. I derived the name from the "gamble button" that gives you chance to double your win with a 50 % chance.

The main idea of the smart gambler strategy is this:

You spin with very small bets. When you hit a winning combination, you start doubling up the win using the gamble button. You keep doubling up until you either miss and lose, or until you win that high amount that you can happily withdraw and leave.

The smart gambler strategy is almost ideal. It has very high RTP, while it also allows you to choose the size of win and how long you will be able to play with your budget.

Here is a step by step guide how to play smart gambler strategy:

Choose a slot which has a gamble feature.

Decide how long you would like to play. Divide this time by the average game round time and you’ll get the approximate number of game rounds.

You want to play for 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds. If one round takes around 4 seconds, then you actually want to play 3600 / 4 = 900 game rounds.

If your selected game has restricted maximal number of double-ups, then I recommend you increase the game’s volatility by configuring just one winline (with the same total bet). With this strategy, you will avoid the low initial wins that you can’t double up to your desired win.

If your budget is very low, you can even play on one winline for 1 cent. With my smart gambler strategy and an adequate amount of luck, you can still win big.

Playing slots is not a race. You can play faster with a lower initial bet or enjoy one spin a little longer with higher initial bets. It’s up to you.

Now you probably wonder, how this strategy is doing in terms of betting system RTP.

It's doing awesome!

Here’s the explanation. You only do two types of bet. The initial spin costs you statistically 100 % minus the RTP of the game. If a game’s RTP is 96 %, it means that the initial spin will cost you only:

100% - 96% = 4% of the bet

That’s just $4 for a one-hour-long gaming session with a $100 budget and a $0.10 initial bet. The double up bet has a win probability of 50 % which gives it a 100 % RTP. In other words, the double up bet costs you nothing in the long run. Therefore,

"the RTP of my smart gambler betting system is (in an ideal scenario) equal to RTP of the selected slot game."

Note that this betting system still doesn’t guarantee you will win, but gives you a fair chance.

Simulation of the smart gambler strategy

The following tables show the results of a million player simulations using my smart gambler strategy. The simulation was completed on a slot with 96 % RTP. The variables were the desired win and the maximum number of allowed double ups.

If the win was lower than expected, then the whole win was placed on roulette. A budget of $100 with a $0.10 initial bet gives you 1000 rounds – around 60 to 90 minutes of playing.

Max. Allowed double-ups	desired win	% of winners	average win	strategy RTP
4	$1000	6.53%	$1415	92.5%
8	$1000	6.52%	$1448	94.5%
16	$1000	6.83%	$1401	95.8%
no limit	$1000	6.86%	$1402	96.14%
4	$10000	0.67%	$13546	91.1%
8	$10000	0.64%	$14436	92.34%
16	$10000	0.67%	$14189	95.5%
no limit	$10000	0.69%	$13892	96.35%
4	$50000	0.125%	$70601	88.64%
8	$50000	0.13%	$70275	91.3%
16	$50000	0.128%	$73317	94.12%
no limit	$50000	0.145%	$66786	96.75%

Simulations prove that RTP of this betting strategy is very high. RTP increases with higher number of allowed double ups, as no additional roulette bets are required. For unlimited number of double-ups, the RTP is equal to the game’s RTP (small differences in measured RTP occur due to extreme volatility in this strategy).

Simulations show the smart gambler strategy keeps fair chances even when aiming for a giant win (500x the entire budget). However, the chances of such a big win are proportionally low. Be very careful and don’t fall in to the "I’ll once win my money back" loop. A healthy target is something around 5x-20x your daily budget.

For all the reasons mentioned I consider this to be THE BEST SLOTS STRATEGY (apart from not playing at all).

Here are slots suitable for my smart gambler strategy:

Book of dead (playtech)

Novomatic slots (such as book of ra)

"moonshot" – the ultimate all in strategy with IGT slots

Volatility: extreme

RTP of betting system: very high (93%-96%)

Time of play: extremely short

This is the craziest and the most volatile strategy I could figure out amongst all casino games. It’s similar to betting "all in" on a number in roulette… just MORE volatile.

Some slots made by IGT allow you to make a huge bet on a single winline. If you first decrease the number of winlines to one, then the game allows you to increase the bet on that line up to the total maximum allowed bet. In some slots this can be up to $100.

With a $100 bet on a single line at diamond queen slot, your potential wins range from $500 to $100k.

As a result, you either lose everything in just a few spins or win an amount in the range from nice to legendary.

You remember, right? The less you bet in total, the higher is the RTP of your betting strategy. That’s how this strategy works. If you go all in and leave with a win, then the RTP of your betting strategy equals to the RTP of the game. In the case of diamond queen, it’s (according to the game’s paytable) between 92.97% and 96.08%. In case of cleopatra, it’s around 95%.

So your one-spin "session" would statistically cost you only $5-$7 (in the long run). The rest would be eventually paid out to winners who use the same strategy.

I have found three slots which support this feature: diamond queen, wolf run and cleopatra. Cleopatra offers the highest possible win – 10 000 times the bet. However, I would choose diamond queen, as it seems more balanced.

There are 3 things to remember with this strategy:

IGT slots cap the maximum win to $250k. So, if you bet $100 on single line in cleopatra, you risk that you’ll win $1 million, but only get $250k.

Don’t risk a high win in a casino which can’t afford to pay it out. Use this strategy only in huge casinos with monthly revenues over $1 million like leovegas.

Never exceed your initial budget. Spin and leave when you’ve reached your budget. Don’t use this strategy if you’ve had any sort of gambling problems in the past.

If you were crazy enough to try this strategy and then managed to hit it big, please let me know. I’ll share your story.

P.S.: I plan to reverse engineer diamond queen and calculate the chances for different win sizes.

"reverse martingale" – reinvest the win strategy

Volatility: high

RTP of betting system: high

Time of play: variable

Reverse martingale is a good betting strategy if your favorite slot doesn’t have a double-up feature. Do you know the roulette betting strategy called martingale? Reverse martingale does the opposite.

Martingale betting strategy (actually doesn’t work) suggests you to double up your bet after each loss. The idea is that once you have to win and then you’ll win back all your former bets. In reality, your bets grow exponentially and you risk your whole available bankroll in order to win just the initial bet. If you keep using the martingale strategy, you’ll go bankrupt eventually.

The main idea of reverse martingale is to play for small initial bets and bet the entire win in the next round until you win big enough. This strategy is similar to the smart gambler strategy, but it uses increased bets instead of the double up feature.

You start with $100 and bet an initial bet of $0.10. After 15 rounds lost, you suddenly win $4.41. The next round you bet the closest possible amount to your win – in this case $4.40. If you lose, then you continue with the initial bet. If you win again – for example $35, then continue with a $35 spin. If you lose, you get back to betting $0.10 each round. Repeat this until you win a satisfying amount or lose your entire budget.

If your win exceeds the maximum bet in the slot which you are currently playing, start placing the maximum bets. Be careful to not spend more than you have won in the previous round. Otherwise you’ll lose big part of your budget and significantly shorten your time of play.

The reverse martingale has slightly lower volatility and lower overall RTP than smart gambler, but its advantage is that you can use any slot that you like, even if it doesn’t have the gamble feature.

You can use any slot you like with the reverse martingale strategy, unlike with the two aforementioned strategies.

Also, the time of play is predictable and you can easily estimate it from the initial bet and your budget.

Time of play = (your budget / initial bet) * 1.3 * 4 seconds

The win amount is less predictable than with the smart gambler strategy, but more predictable than the casual player strategy or the moonshot strategy.

Reverse martingale strategy doesn’t work that well for high rollers, as they’ll hit the maximum bet of a slot quite often.

Tips for reverse martingale strategy:

When you hit a win with your initial bet, write down your current balance (before the win is added to it). This will help you to do the proper math and you’ll be less likely to exceed the bet which would lead to losing the balance dedicated for the small initial bets.

If possible, configure the slot to only one winline. The increased volatility plays in your favor.

Simulation of the reverse martingale strategy

The following tables show the results of a million player simulation using the reverse martingale strategy. I made the simulations on a 96 % RTP medium variance slot with a $50 maximum bet per round. Each simulation was a session of 1000 rounds with basic bet + additional rounds, so players either lost the entire budget or won a satisfying amount.

I was experimenting with various parameters for the initial bet (budget) and satisfying wins.

Initial bet (budget)	min. Satisfying win	% of winners	average win	strategy RTP	average # of rounds
$0.10 ($100)	+$500	11.5%	+$1050	85.04%	1271
$0.10 ($100)	+$1000	4.4%	+$1766	82.15%	1293
$0.10 ($100)	+$5000	1.09%	+$6506	71.91%	1321
$0.10 ($100)	+$10000	0.5%	+$11862	62.7%	1331
$0.10 ($100)	+$50000	0.028%	+$51938	14.57%	1360
$0.20 ($200)	+$500	13.5%	+$1074	86.25%	1210
$0.20 ($200)	+$1000	8.5%	+$1770	83.6%	1249
$0.20 ($200)	+$5000	2.1%	+$6500	72.9%	1304
$0.20 ($200)	+$10000	1.01%	+$11781	60.72%	1324
$0.20 ($200)	+$50000	0.05%	+$52060	14.44%	1382
$0.50 ($500)	+$1000	18.49%	+$1813	85.56%	1175
$0.50 ($500)	+$5000	5.25%	+$6515	73.66%	1301
$0.50 ($500)	+$10000	2.52%	+$11782	61.9%	1350
$0.50 ($500)	+$50000	0.13%	+$51840	13.82%	1499
$1 ($1000)	+$5000	9.86%	+$6522	74.2%	1306
$1 ($1000)	+$10000	4.96%	+$11807	63.58%	1400
$1 ($1000)	+$50000	0.27%	+$52056	14.07%	1703
$1 ($1000)	+$100000	0.0135%	+$106272	1.45%	1775
$5 ($5000)	+$10000	19.12%	+$11804	64.26%	1967
$5 ($5000)	+$50000	1.22%	+$51850	13.84%	3475
$5 ($5000)	+$100000	0.07%	+$102430	1.5%	3837
$5 ($5000)	+$500000	-	-	-	3879
$10 ($10000)	+$50000	2.15%	+$51770	13.26%	5756
$10 ($10000)	+$100000	0.124%	+$101947	1.39%	6446
$10 ($10000)	+$500000	-	-	-	6521

The simulations above illustrate how effective this strategy is when playing with a smaller initial budget. They also illustrate how it becomes ineffective when initial bet gets closer to the slot’s maximum bet.

Your chance to win 10x your budget is 4.4% with $100 budget and $0.10 basic bet. With $5000 budget and 5$ bet (same proportion) this chance drops to 1.22% and for $10 000/$10 drops even further to 0.124%. Out of one million high rollers who started with $10 000 and played with $10 initial bet, none of them managed to get over $500 000.

The reverse martingale strategy works properly only if the maximum bet is at least 100x-200x higher than the basic bet. That’s true for the majority of casual players.True high rollers who desire high RTP and extreme wins should look for a different strategy.

Note that for budgets and basic bets with which this strategy actually works, the average number of rounds played is around 1300. That’s 1.3x more than rounds played with initial bets. This explains the 1.3 coefficient in time of play formula above.

"casual player" – constant bet strategy

Volatility: depends on slot and bet size

RTP of betting system: depends on bet size and satisfying win

Time of play: depends on bet size and satisfying win

The strategy which I call "casual player" is one of the simplest strategies you can use. You start spinning with a certain bet size and keep spinning with same bet until you lose everything, win enough or decide to stop after certain amount of time.

This strategy is used by many casino players. I have decided to analyze it mainly to illustrate how ineffective it is compared to my strategies.

Let’s start by defining "the casual player". I know that many players change the bet size according to their intuition or increase the bet when they are on a lucky streak, but for the sake of simplicity, I’ll keep the bet the same during the entire simulation.

So let’s describe our casual player as a player who:

Starts with a budget of $(A)

Bets $(B) per round

Stops playing when wins more than $(C)

And plays max. (D) number of rounds

Simulation of the casual player strategy

For each setup I simulated one million players with the same 96% RTP medium variance slot. Normal gaming session may take 1-2 hours, so I have decided to fix (D) to 1500 rounds (number of rounds after which player leaves regardless of his current bankroll). Then I have experimented with a $100 budget.

Note: most slots work in a way that a win is always proportional to the bet. So the simulation using a $1 bet, $100 budget and $500 desired win will return the same results as the one with $10 bet, $1000 budget and $5000 desired win. Therefore, I made all the simulations with a $100 budget and I changed only the bet and the satisfying win.

Here are the tables with simulations for $100 budget and max. 1500 rounds. There are 3 tables with satisfying wins of $200, $1000 and $5000 respectively.

Bet	% of players with satisfying win	% of losers (avg. Loss)	% of winners (avg. Win)	strategy RTP	average # of rounds	thrill factor
$0.10	0%	64.85% ($16)	35.15% ($14)	94.6%	1500	very low
$0.50	2.96%	66.23% ($72)	33.77% ($73)	76.67%	1294	low
$1	15.2%	74.47% ($94)	25.5% ($169)	72.81%	754	medium
$5	21%	79% ($100)	21% ($312)	88.4%	64	high
$10	19%	81% ($100)	19% ($375)	91.88%	23	high

$5	0.003%	94.3% ($100)	5.7% ($978)	60.6%	219	high
$10	0.21%	97.2% ($100)	2.8% ($2044)	59.7%	111	very high
$20	0.94%	98.5% ($100)	1.5% ($4437)	65.8%	48	very high
$50	1.21%	98.79% ($100)	1.21% ($6533)	80.5%	11	extreme
$100	1.17%	98.83% ($100)	1.17% ($7291)	86.5%	3	extreme

When you look at the table above, you can find everything a good strategy should have:

High RTP

High wins and thrill factor

Adequate time of play

The problem is that at the same time you can have only two of those things.

You can bet $10/spin, have nice RTP and aim for very high wins, but your gaming session will likely end within few minutes.

You can bet $0.1/spin, kill time and not spend much money, but your chance to win more than just few dollars is minimal.

Or you can bet $2/spin, aim for medium wins and play for half an hour in average, but you have to accept a low strategy RTP.

The play time with constant bet strategy is unpredictable. The average play time value might look good at first glance, but in reality it’s highly biased because of the lucky players who managed to play until the end. Following chart illustrates that for $2/spin and a $1000 satisfying win setup.

You can clearly see that 55% of players ran out of their respective budgets within the first 300 rounds. The chance that you’ll lose your budget sooner than you intended is very high. This increases the risk of exceeding your budget, which is one of the signals of pathological gamblers.

The analyzed setup with $2 bets is the one with the most balanced time of play. The setup with a bet of $5 per spin is even more unbalanced with 80% of players losing their budgets within the first 200 rounds.

While unpredictable play time may be considered as clear negative, the unpredictable win size may increase the fun. Following plot displays the distribution of net wins/losses in my million player simulation.

I have intentionally omitted players who lost everything because there would be a huge spike at the beginning of the chart. The distribution reminds me of a "gauss curve". The spike at $1000 value reminds how important is to know when to stop.

My next chart illustrates the distribution of wins/losses without the satisfying win rule.

This chart resembles "gauss curve" even more. The "know when to stop" spike is flattened.

Conclusions

The constant bet strategy is the simplest betting strategy there is. You can achieve different results by choosing a different bet size, but you’ll never have good results like with the smart gambler strategy or the reverse martingale strategy. The biggest difference is in the time of play. With constant bet, the time of play is quite short and unpredictable.

Also, if you aim for a giant win, choosing a different strategy is a must. You will almost certainly not get there with the casual player strategy.

I can recommend casual player strategy only to those players who wish to kill time with low bets, low losses and even lower wins. In that case, I recommend placing one thousandth of your evening budget per spin.

"my mom’s strategy"

Volatility: zero

RTP of betting system: 100%

Time of play: none

The optimal strategy of playing slots is surprisingly the simplest one. Don’t play them at all. I can call this "my mum’s strategy", because I knew that if I asked her which strategy she would use to play slots, she would tell me "I wouldn’t play slots at all". So I have asked her and she really gave me this answer.

Mathematically, she is right. This is the only strategy with a 100% RTP. I made a computer simulation of million players who went to the casino and haven’t played slots. The simulation confirmed that none of the players lost anything so the theoretical RTP of this strategy is really 100%.

The disadvantage of my mum’s strategy is absolutely no thrill factor as obviously you can’t win anything. Also, zero time of play may be problem in some brick and mortar casinos or gaming venues which require you to play once you are in. The solution for this might be to find some other excitement in your life. Money spared on gambling give you countless options ;).

11 incredible slot machine tricks you won’t believe work

Coolcat casino > online gambling tips > 11 incredible slot machine tricks you won’t believe work

Coolcat online casino has put together 11 slot machine tricks that will help you win big!

Every gambler looks for a way to trick casinos and make the most out of their slot machines. The tough part is sifting through the bad advice and good advice available. The fact is, there are slot machine tricks that do actually work and that you can start using today. This guide will show you the simplest ways to trick the slots and the system, to give you the best return on your playtime.

Slot machines are gambling games with three or more spinning reels. The reels display symbols that spin and land randomly to form potential winning combinations after a player places a bet. Wins are determined when certain symbols line up in a sequence; these are the paylines. An amount is awarded according to the size of the wager, the type of winning combination and number of paylines that hit. Slot machines come in a variety of forms, from online slots, classic three or five reel slots, and the most popular of all, video slots.

How a slot machine works

Regardless of the type of slot that you choose to play, they all function according to the same principles. You place your bet and initiate a spin, while this takes place an internal computer chip in the machine randomly determines whether you win or lose for each spin.

These computers are random number generators or rngs. An RNG cycles through thousands of number combinations and stops the moment a player hits the spin button. The results are displayed for the player after the reels stop spinning. Rngs are always tested and certified by third-party agencies to make sure that they are fair and reliable, and that outcomes are not rigged.

Many times in a casino you will hear players say whether certain tables or slots are running hot or cold. However, because slot machines operate on rngs, no amount of luck or perceived hot or cold streaks will impact the outcome of each spin. Each time a player hits a button to spin the reels or pulls the arm of a machine, the result is a unique event. Slots machines and online slots games are therefore never due to hit regardless of what someone might tell you. Streaks and payouts boil down to a matter of pure chance, even multiple jackpots can occur for a single machine.

1. Take advantage of no deposit bonus codes

Here’s the dirty little secret with online bonuses: if you know where to look, you can get a lot for free; meaning bonuses with no deposit needed.

Slots strategy is about giving yourself as many slots advantages as you can. A lot of playing the slots comes down to chance, which is why the best strategies are about seizing whatever opportunities you can to get ahead.

2. Don’t play the slot; play the online casino

Thanks to U.S. Gambling policies, americans are able to claim some of the best value casino bonuses of any players in the world. If you’re in america, taking advantage of this can double, or even triple your bankroll, with surprisingly few strings attached.

One of the best slot machine tricks is to look for bonuses with low wagering requirements and no maximum cash-out limits. Many casinos trick new players by offering a large bonus, and hiding that you’ll need to bet a huge amount before you can redeem it.

What to look for in a good bonus: first, find wagering requirements of 10x or less. Many casinos have as wagering requirements as high 50x, which means that on a $100 deposit, you can’t get your money until you’ve made $5,000 in bets! Also, avoid bonuses that come with a maximum cash-out. Find a bonus that doesn’t limit how much you can win from it (nothing worse than winning a jackpot and getting $100…)

The coolcat casino 330% welcome bonus has only a 5x wagering requirement (compare that to any other bonus online), and no maximum on how much you can win with it. Plus, it comes with 50 free spins on our popular game, popinata. So you have some spins to warm up (and win), and your $50 becomes $165. That bankroll will give you the breathing room you need to jump-start your slots streak. Just make a free account at coolcat casino, then claim your bonus at the cashier by entering the code COOLWELCOME.

3. Find the loosest online slots

If it has been a while since you had a winning spin then it really might be time to consider changing the machine you’re playing on, or switching to another online slots game. Even though this might sound crazy it’s actually true. Slots vary in how easily they pay out, and according to industry insiders and leading experts, major gaming centers avoid placing loose slot machines close to each other. The best option when you’re on a losing streak is to move on to an adjacent slot machine or try your hand at a completely new online slots game. Remember, each spin is a completely unique event, so feeding more coins into a losing machine in no way increases your chances of finally winning.

I’ve done this myself on a number of occasions and found, much to my surprise and delight, that by the time I had moved on to a second or third online game, my luck had returned and bonus spins were racking up. If the machine is cold, walk on into the light. This is one of the slot machine tricks which simply increase your chances of finding a loose machine as well as extending your play time and jackpot potential.

4. Know your limits

Before you start playing, it’s important to set a loss limit. It’s easy to let the excitement of the casino floor take hold, but you may end up with more spills than thrills if you don’t know when to stop. Everyone loves to win, and if you find yourself way up, it’s a good time to stop. Statistically, the longer you play the better the chances are that you will lose your money. If your bankroll is heading towards a slump, be sure to stop once you’ve reached your loss limit. Never chase losses.

Gambling is a phenomenal form of entertainment, and can grow your bankroll exponentially, so have fun, but always play responsibly. Although you are just as likely as the next person to win big on a slot machine, or perhaps a coveted jackpot, be smart and don’t overdo it. Slots can take patience because a big hit can occur in ten seconds, ten minutes or heaven forbid ten hours. As long as you have your loss limit in mind throughout your rounds of play, you’ll be in good shape if the going gets tough.

5. Know where not to play slots

It is no big news that it is easier to win on loose slot machines: the hard part is finding one. These machines are placed all over the casino quite strategically and in a meticulous way. Physical placement revolves around the fact that the casinos want everyone to see a big win. It encourages others to play, so often loose machines are to be found in highly visible areas.

On the other hand, there can be pitfalls to visibility. Airport slots are highly visible, but people are coming and going at a frantic rate. These slots are known to be some of the worst to play at any gambling destination. It’s far better to wait until you’re actually in the casino. Scope out a spot with a wide range of machines so you can move on if you hit a cold streak, but one that’s highly visible without being a major rush transit area like reception by a restaurant buffet with a lot of motion or an airport mall.

For even better chances to find loose slots, look no further than your computer. Online slot machines generally pay out more than slots on the las vegas strip. Having a constant stream of players makes it possible for real money online casinos to offer slots with the best odds yet.

6. Play slots with random jackpots – the kind that pays out often

Another notable feature of slot machines are the jackpots. There are two categories: fixed and progressive. Slots machines with a fixed jackpot will have a maximum payout/jackpot amount that does not change. Whereas for progressive machines the jackpot increases the more people play on them. A fraction of their bet falls into the jackpot pool, and the jackpot will continue to increase until won. Progressive machines usually come with an indicator that shows the player that the maximum payout can change based on how many people play that particular machine, therefore making the jackpot progressively higher or lower.

Whether or not one should play on progressive jackpot slot machines is a hotly debated issue among casino gamers. Though some would say that progressives are the only true way to strike it super rich at the casino; many claim that it’s quite the long shot, even as difficult as winning the lottery. Whatever the case, playing on progressive slot machines are a lot of fun. If you manage your bankroll well and pace yourself, you just might find yourself entering the millionaire’s club.

One school recommends avoiding progressives. While a life changing win may be uber tempting, with high potential rewards comes, all too often, low payout rates. I mean, that mega jackpot has to be built up somehow and it’s not usually by being liberal in the payout department. If your playing philosophy is to spend a lot of time having a lot of fun and picking up pleasant but not exactly earth shattering winnings, then you should avoid progressives.

The second school of thought says that progressives are really the only true way to strike it super rich. With odds similar to those of winning the lottery, it’s a long shot but playing progressives is a lot more fun. If you’re able to manage your bankroll properly, pace things and not get too carried away, progressives do offer the chance for you to walk into the casino a poor nobody and walk out a member of the millionaire’s club. And I mean, come on, there is a certain thrill to the prospect.

Beyond that, it’s not hard to find a large random jackpot worth tens of thousands of dollars. The real trick is that random jackpots like achilles and caesar’s empire are actually won daily, while progressive jackpots can stick around for years.

13 do's & don'ts slot tips you must know

It’s a given among people who run both live casinos and online casinos: people love to play slot machines.

In some nations, including the united states, slot machines are the most-played casino games. In the rest, popularity is surging to the point slot play is rivaling table play.

That naturally leads players to the big question: “how do you win on the slot machines?” it also brings the related questions, “are there systems for beating the slot machines?” and “how have others beaten the machines?”

Odds on slot machines are unchanging. There’s nothing you can do legally that will change the outcome, though scam artists sometimes have succeeded until caught, arrested and imprisoned.

But there are approaches that will help you get the most out of the games.

Let’s take a two-tiered approach to the big questions, with tips for playing slot machines, systems for playing with their strengths and flaws, and slot machines cheats & scams.

SLOT TIPS: THE DO'S

SLOT TIP 1: HIGHER DENOMINATION SLOTS HAVE HIGHER PAYBACK PERCENTAGES

It was true when three-reel games ruled slot floors, and it’s true now when the large majority of games are video slots: dollar slots yield a higher payback percentage than quarter slots, which may more than nickel slots, which pay more than penny games.That doesn’t mean everyone should rush out and play dollar slots.

There are factors beyond payback percentage, including entertainment value and what you want from a game.

Even in pure dollars and cents, playing higher-denomination games means bigger bets and more risk. If you’re betting $3 on a three-coin dollar slot that pays 95 percent, your average losses will be more money than if you’re betting 40 cents on a 40-line 1-cent game that pays 86 percent.

SLOT TIP 2: IF YOU PLAY PROGRESSIVE SLOTS, MAKE SURE YOU BET ENOUGH TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE JACKPOTS

On progressive slot machines, a percentage of each wager is added to the jackpot or jackpots.

Three-reel slot machines usually have a single progressive jackpot on the top payoff, and you must bet maximum coins to be eligible.

On a three-coin dollar slot machines, for example, you can’t win the progressive if you bet only one or two coins. Instead, landing the top jackpot combination on the payline brings a reduced payoff at a fixed amount.

On video slots, progressive jackpots usually are multi-tiered. Anywhere from two to 12 progressive levels have been offered.

Typical is a four-tier progressive with levels labeled mini, minor, major and grand, or bronze, silver, gold and platinum, or something similar.

On some video slots, all players are eligible for the jackpots regardless of bet size. On others, you must make a separate bet to be jackpot eligible.

The jackpots are the main events on progressives, and aside from those jackpots, the games usually pay less than other games.

Don’t settle for a lower paying game. Make sure you make the bets necessary to be eligible for the jackpots. If you can’t afford those bets, choose a non-progressive game.

SLOT TIP 3: CHOOSE GAMES THAT FIT YOUR GOALS AND PLAYING PERSONALITY

Are you looking for games that give you maximum jackpot opportunities, games extend play with frequent small wins or something in between?

Lines can be a little blurred as game designers experiment in all formats but there are a few general guidelines.

Three-reel games put more emphasis on their top jackpots but have a lower hit frequency with more losing spins. They give you the best chance to win big, but also the best chance to lose fast.

In video slots with pick’em bonuses, you touch the screen to pick gift boxes, restaurant dishes, alien creatures or other game icons to reveal your bonuses.
.
Video slots that feature pick’em bonuses usually have high hit frequencies with many small wins that give you extended play, but a lesser chance at a big jackpot.

Video slots that feature free spins as their main bonus events usually fall between the three-reel games and the pick’em games in both volatility and the chance at a big win.

During free spins you make no additional bets and can win anything up to the top jackpot. However, it’s also possible to win nothing on the free spins.

That possibility of a zero-bonus balances the possibility of bigger wins than you see in pick’em bonuses.

It’s up to you to decide where to find the most value – in jackpot chances, in the player-participation opportunity of pick’em bonuses, or in the hit-and-miss nature of free spins.

SLOT TIP 4: ALWAYS PLAY WITHIN YOUR BUDGET AND BE WILLING TO LOWER YOUR BET OR STOP PLAYING IF YOU HIT A LIMIT

Most sessions on slot machines will result in losing money, and there’s nothing you can do to chance that.

Sometimes you’ll win at slots, and even win big. Enjoy those times when they come.

But never bet money you can’t afford to lose, and be sure you’re playing games that fit your bankroll.

As a basic rule of thumb, your gambling bankroll should cover 250 bets to give you a 90 percent chance of lasting three hours.

Here’s a breakdown of recommended bankrolls for that 90-percent chance of three hours without spending it all in some common configurations:

If you walk into a live casino or log onto an online casino with $200, you can’t afford to play dollar slots. Should you decide you want to try them anyway and find you lose a quick $100, be prepared to either walk away or drop to penny slots with the rest of the money.

Slot machines don’t give player the opportunity to make multiple bets in combinations like craps or roulette , or to take advantage of ever-shifting odds as card counters do in blackjack . Nevertheless, slot machines players have tried systems play for generations.

Ultimately, however, slot machine odds are unchanging, the same on every spin. The most creative systems might be fun to try, but they can’t make you a consistent winner.

SLOT TIP 5: START SMALL TO WIN BIG, OR “PRIME THE PUMP”

Prime the pump bettors assume the wins won’t come right away. They start with small bets and work up and hope to be betting big when the wins come.

Actually, you’re as likely to win early as later on, and starting small will miss some winners. The payback percentage will be the same as if you’d bet the same amount on every spin.

Chuck flick, a slot player who tested many systems, tried priming the pump by stepping up his bets in a regular pattern. In five trials, he had four losing sessions and one winner – a normal outcome even if you’re not starting small.

SLOT TIP 6: PLAY SLOT MACHINES AT THE ENDS OF ROWS

The theory is that machines at the ends of rows are visible to passers-by and casinos want those other customers to see slot players winning.

That’s of much less importance today with payoffs by bar-coded ticket rather than by coins dropping in a tray. The obvious signs of winning are gone.

In modern casinos, games of the same type in a row usually have the same payback percentage.

SLOT TIP 7: SCOUT SLOT MACHINES OF THOSE THAT ARE PAYING BIG

Some players like to play games that have made big payouts, figuring they’re hot machines. Others avoid those games, figuring they’re due to go cold.

The opposite applies, too. Some players figure cold machines are duds. Others think they’re due to get hot.

In reality, allstreaks are just blips on the radar to machines that yield a normal payback percentage over hundreds of thousands of plays.

Machines are never “due” to go hot or cold, and recent paybacks do not offer any clue as to how a machine will perform for you.

SLOT TIP 8: LOOK FOR NEAR MISSES

Scouting near misses means looking for games with jackpot symbols on the reels or screen, but just short of a winning combination.

If you’re in the right frame of mind, the scouting can add a little intrigue to choosing a game, but near misses aren’t really any indication of what’s to come.

Near misses give no indication of future outcomes.

So it goes with slot systems. They can add a little interest to the games, but they can’t change your outcomes or lead you to a winning machine.

SLOT TIPS: THE DON'TS

In any business where a lot of cash changes hands, there will be people willing to go outside the law to game the system.

Slots in live casinos, where cheats can work on the physical device, have been more vulnerable to scams than slots in online casinos.

The law in jurisdictions with licensed casinos takes a very dim view of cheating the slots. Cheating licensed casinos is a felony and can carry stiff prison terms.
Nevertheless, here are a few scams players have tried.

SLOT TIP 9: STRING THEORY

When all slots were three-reel games with coin slots, cheaters worked a scam in which they tied affixed a string to a coin.

They’d drop the coin into the slot, trip the mechanism that gave them credit to play, then use the string to pull the coin back out.

One woman in nevada was caught using a coin on a brightly colored piece of yarn, easy to spot from a distance. Others were less obvious, but those who were caught were prosecuted.

Manufacturers designed more secure coin acceptance devices to make this cheat impossible. Today, most slots accept only paper currency or tickets and no longer have slot heads.

SLOT TIP 10: SLUG IT OUT

Fake coins, or slugs, were a problem for casinos as long as slot machines accepted coins.

Some were no more than a rounded piece of metal, with no design. Others were more elaborate, and counterfeiters in the eastern U.S. Stamped slot tokens that looked much like those used in new jersey.

As long the metal and manufacturing costs were a lot less than the value of a real slot coin, there was incentive for cheaters.

Coin recognition software grew progressively more sophisticated to combat the problem.

SLOT TIP 11: MAGNETIC FORCE

Some slot machines in the 1960s and ‘70s were vulnerable to ordinary magnets.

Cheaters could use the magnets to make the reels float freely instead of stopping on a spin. The scam artists would remove the magnet only when the reels had aligned in a winning combination.

More sophisticated were top-bottom devices, used into the 1980s. The top was a metal rod that was bent on one end, and the bottom a strand of wire.

The wire would be inserted in the coin slot to hit a metal contact, and then the top would be jammed in the coin slot. The combination completed a circuit that would activate a coin dispenser and send free coins pouring into the slot tray.

Protection had to be built into the games to shield vital parts from magnets and to make it impossible to hit contacts and create an electrical circuit.

SLOT TIP 12: INSIDE JOB

This scam was pulled on so-called “big bertha” slots in the 1990s. Big bertha’s are bigger and wider than other slots.

A team was arrested in nevada after they crowded around a big bertha. The front of the machine was opened, a woman climbed inside and the machine was mostly shut. She then rigged results.

With team members blocking view, everything looked normal to casual passers-by, but security was alert enough to halt the cheats.

SLOT TIP 13: CHEAT BY CHIP

A software engineer for the nevada gaming commission programmed chips that functioned normally in slot machines, except those in the know could take advantage of a cheat code.

When the cheats inserted specific numbers of coins in a specific order, the machine would pay out.

The engineer was arrested, of course.

1. Choose winning slots with the highest payouts

When you go online to play and win money at slots, you need to know how to pick the right slot machine games.

Most beginners start to play casino games thinking that all slots are more or less the same thing, only with different graphics.

If you want to know how to win at slots, you need a machine that pays out more than the other ones. And to know which one is an excellent slot to play, you need to care about the return to player (RTP) percentage.

The return to player (or RTP) is a percentage of all the wagered money that a slot pays back to its players.

It is not the amount of money you'll get back when you wager on real money slots, and it doesn't indicate whether you have fewer chances to hit a bonus round or not — but it gives you a great indication on whether a machine pays enough for you to play on it or not.

How to find the RTP of a slot machine

The quickest option is to search for it online.

Use google, bing, yandex, or whichever search engine you prefer.

Many casino news websites that publish content around casino games have entire sections dedicated to the RTP percentage of the casino slot games they review.

You find them on pokernews, as well. Every review includes a section dedicated to the payout of each type of slot with easy-to-understand info about the games with frequent payouts.

If this is your first time on our site, check some related articles like these list of games. By choosing slots with a high RTP, you'll improve your chances instantly.

Also, you check the slot itself. The RTP number is always mentioned somewhere. Usually, you find it in the settings of the slot game or the 'help' section.

So, how to pick a winning slot machine and how to use the RTP to know how much slot machines pay?

The RTP is calculated on a scale from 1 to 100. Most slots have an RTP between 92-97 per cent.

Always choose an online slot machine game with an RTP of 96 per cent or above. This is the best slots strategy to follow every time you play — since a high payback percentage indicates that you have a better chance to win. Good option.

High RTP slot to play: devil's delight

Devil's delight is a slot by netent that's set in the underworld.

It features everything you'd associate with hell:

Devils

Soul reapers

Graves

The number 666

Pitchforks

Skeletons

Flames

Is anything missing from the list?

The slot also features a separate soul reaper bonus game. There, you need to guess the sins of the characters on the screen. Every time you guess the right one — you receive points that help you win more cash.

This loose video slot has five reels and 20 paylines. And despite the sinful name, devil's delight is generous – RTP in this game reaches 97,6 per cent!

2. Determine the volatility of slots

Another critical factor to consider to pick a winning slot machine is the game's volatility.

Many games and gambling news sites refer to the games' volatility as their 'variance.' if you like, you can consider this as the risk level.

The volatility of a slot machine game measures the risk involved in playing a particular slot for the real money. One of my favourite tips for playing slots is to consider it the 'risk factor' of the game you are about to play. That's because volatility determines how you win at slots.

Low volatility slots: your odds of winning at these slots are high, and it's easier to strike winning combinations when you spin the reels. However, you should know that low volatility slots offer smaller wins — so your winning combinations might not be worth as much as you would like them to.

High volatility slots: the odds of winning at these games are smaller, but the wins pay more. With the right bankroll, tips for playing slots, and strategy, these games can be a lot more rewarding.

Both options are quite popular online since people play both types. Every useful casino guide gives you plenty of choices to find the right online slots game for you — with welcome bonus codes to try them for free before you invest your money in them.

Pick the slot machine time that feels right for you. But keep this in mind:

To play high volatility slots, you need to be patient, have enough money to invest in a lengthy online gaming session, and have read enough casino blog posts to know all the secrets of slots optimal play.

Otherwise, low volatility slots may be a better option for you.

High volatility slots are a bit riskier, too. You never know how much time and money you need to invest in hitting a lucky spin and celebrating yet another day of winning money on slots.

How to find the volatility of a slot machine game

Casino sites don't make the variance of the games as accessible as the RTP numbers — and that's in part because they don't want to help you improve your odds.

An easy way to choose games with the right variance is to use "google operators and let the world's largest search engine do the work for you.

You have seen some progressive slots with random jackpots, and the mega moolah game caught your eye. The most effective way to find the variance of this game is to:

Open www.Google.Com

Type "mega moolah" variance in the search bar

Analyse the search results

Alternatively, you can explore the games and try to figure out their variance yourself. If you play the slot long enough, you should be able to see how often the game pays out and what kind of winnings you get.

If successes are rare but significant, you are onto a high volatility game. If you win often, but the wins are nerve-wracking and small, you just found a low-volatility game.

An excellent welcome bonus, a deposit bonus, and free spins are an excellent way to do this and discover the games' volatility by playing. These options help you learn more about the games and give you useful info that might help you understand how to win at slots in the long run.

High volatility slot to play: king of atlantis

King of atlantis is a high volatility slot by IGT. The game plays on five reels and 40 paylines.

The symbols featured in this game include seashells, gold rings, gem-encrusted crowns, mermaids, dolphins, and the almighty god of the sea – poseidon.

This high volatility slot machine doesn't have many bonus games or features (even if you bet the maximum). The only 'special feature' you get, is a round of eight free spins that activates when a trident symbol lands next to poseidon.

Low volatility slot to try: hotline

Hotline is one of netent's most popular slots these days.

Beating the slot requires you to travel back in time to the '80s, wear some clothes you'd not be proud of today, and use your ability to solve a police case. Somehow based on the cult TV series miami vice, beating the slot needs you to help two detectives to catch a jewellery thief.

The slot runs on a classic random number generator and features all the classic features netent players love so much. Wilds, expanding wilds, re-spins, free spins - you name it. Also, there is a unique bonus bet where you can choose one, two, or all three reels. It increases your chances of getting expanding wilds.

As pay table of this slot suggests, hotline is a low volatility game where wins are more frequent (but small in size). If this is what you are looking for, pick this slot machine, enjoy the game, and relax.

3. Don't go with the obvious option

No matter how impressive an online casino is, you need to do some research before you start to spin reels on slots.

All casino sites (like all poker sites, let's face it) want your credit card and your money. They offer free spins or deposit bonus codes to get you on their platform and then have you play as much as possible. In other words, they want your money.

If you can afford to play real money on slots, that's great, as long as the site you agree to play on and where you look for the next loose machine to try is a legitimate and regulated online casino.

Regulators like the united kingdom gambling commission (UKGC), the malta gaming authority (MGA) work hard to eliminate dangerous companies from the online gambling industry. Their licensing systems are your best allies to be sure to play slot machine games on legitimate sites, use audited random number generators, and pay out winnings to the players.

An important factor to consider when you want to know how to pick a winning slot machine is to see if the site you wish to register on holds a license by the UKGC and/or the MGA. Regardless of the casino bonus they offer you or the insane fixed maximum amount of free spins they promise.

You should never play online poker or pick slot machines on unlicensed casino sites.

You find a full list of all the online casinos allowed in your country on this page.

A loose slot to play: himalayas: roof of the world

How did I find this slot? I scrolled down to the bottom of the slots page at one of my favourite online casinos. And then, I just decided to pick a slot machine I had never seen before.

Not all games make it to online casinos' front pages — especially those that have a combination of volatility and RTP that plays in favour of the players and that come from underdog developers. And himalayas: roof of the world comes from barcrest, a provider that isn't often in the spotlight.

Also, himalayas: roof of the world offers good odds of winning on slots!. The game features an RTP of 97,75 per cent, which is above average. Combine that to medium volatility — and you know how to pick a winning slot machine.

4. Make higher bets

Every collection of slot machines tips or casino strategies tells you that you can't win a progressive jackpot with a minimum bet. And that's correct.

Top wins are always connected to the fixed maximum bets. You can forget your dream to become a multi-millionaire with just 0.01. In slots, like in video poker, the higher the bet — the more you can win. And, at the same time, the smaller the bet. The smaller the wins.

So, yes: your bet determines how to win at slots.

Slot machine payouts are proportional to what you wager in the game. If your slot machine strategy is to play small bets, don't change it. Just don't expect to score unreasonably huge wins.

As you understand now, betting more money helps to win more on line slots. But it also put your slot machine strategy in danger and makes you risk to lose all your bankroll much faster.

That's why higher denomination slots are also riskier than lower denomination slots. People play them in the same way and following the same slot tips. But the big wins happen only on the high denomination slots, which are also the game where you can risk to lose a lot of money.

Keep in mind this, especially if you love playing slots with progressive jackpots. Jackpot slots can be costly . Many games give you access to the top wins only when you bet the maximum — and that is why a correct slot strategy and bankroll strategy are essential to winning at slots.

Risk is always an essential factor in gambling. And you decide how risky you want to play yourself. Never play more money than you can afford to lose and never underestimate the risks of gambling addiction — even then you play fun slot machine games.

One expensive slot to play with maximum bets: space wars

Space wars is another online slot by netent. This online game is based on a popular slot you can play in all the casinos in las vegas and atlantic city.

When you play space wars for real money, you can choose to bet anywhere from 0.4 (minimum bet) to 20 (maximum bet) per spin. The currency depends on your location.

This game does not feature a progressive jackpot, so you don't really need to bet max every time you spin. Start with smaller bets and go up. You'll see the difference in payouts.

Space wars is a fast-paced video slot with five reels, four rows, and 40 paylines. The RTP is 96,8 per cent.

5. Trust other players

This is one of those slot tips that you should not apply to many other casino games. While it may be valid for video poker, it's one you should not follow if you play online poker.

But when it comes to playing slots. Yes, you can trust your fellow slot players and look how people play.

If a slot doesn't pay, the other players will call it out. Fast.

That's why you should use the information available on every casino blog and casino sites to your advantage. Browse through forums, spend some time on reddit, and read what las vegas and atlantic city players say about each game.

You can also join facebook groups and ask for help there. In other words, take advantage of your internet connection before the casino takes advantage of you.

A classic slot people play and love: gonzo's quest

Released in 2010, gonzo's quest still didn't let go of its place as one of the top slot machines online. That's quite an achievement, I'd say.

This popular slot game features five reels, 20 paylines, and an adventurer (gonzalo 'gonzo' pizzarro) looking for the lost city of gold.

Players love this little guy and follow his adventures. Gonzo's quest is one of the top-rated slot machines of all time by players, casinos, and casino critics alike.

6. Avoid branded slots

Branded slots are fantastic to play. We can play with all our favourite heroes and spin the reels feeling part of the movies, TV series, and shows we love.

While these games are a lot of fun, branded slots are also the 'bait' a lot of online casinos use to attract us, the players.

Remember the point about 'not going for the obvious choice'? If you are a huge game of thrones fan, how likely is it that you would go straight for the game of thrones games when you see them on the list?

You don't need to be a psychologist, a consumed marketer, or casino operator to realise that. Fortunately, you don't need to be a hardcore gambler to know how to pick a winning slot machine either. That's what this article is for!

Developers with slots that feature popular brands paid a pretty penny to use the name. So, they won't let you go low with the bets. And those games will not be the easiest ones to beat either.

While the casino and the developer have invested a lot on the names you see on the screen, you are the one who can make it worth the investment. Or not.

Slot to play instead of the branded ones: pamplona

What's so attractive about branded slots? Well-known name and faces. The stories behind the games and the characters we all know and love.

Can you have all that in a non-branded slot?

Take the pamplona slot machine, for example.

This IGT slot is all about spain, bulls, and matadors. A unique tradition turned into an exciting slot game.

In a way, it is a 'brand' because pamplona's running of the bulls' festival is known worldwide. And it's more known than some actual brands, to be honest.

But to use this theme, developers didn't have to pay as they do for the brands. Thus, the payouts are way better.

The slot has five reels and 1024 paylines. Matador symbol acts as a wild and bull is a scatter. Three scatters can trigger the el toro bonus where you can choose your option of free spins.

7. Take advantage of free spins

How to win at slots with free spins when there are hundreds of hidden terms and conditions for withdrawals?

The wagering requirements can take the fun out of playing slots with free spins. No arguing there. But there are still free spins bonuses that can be worth your while.

The wager-free bonus offers.

On a limited number of online casinos you get wager free spins with no deposit on registration (yes, no deposit is required to play). And with no strings attached to them.

There is no cap on winnings, you can cash out anything you want, anytime you want, and there are no wagering requirements. How good is that?

Slot to play with free spins: pyramid quest for immortality

From pamplona to egypt. You can travel the world with slots. And the right free spins welcome bonus!

The pyramid: quest for immortality slot features five reels, 720 paylines, and an RTP of 96.4%. This game takes you to ancient egypt and brings you to explore the hidden and mystical world of pharaohs, gods. And pyramids, of course.

So, how to beat slot machines?

First and foremost, the best way to beat the slots is not to continue asking the wrong questions and stop looking for simple hacks or slots tips tho beat the casino.

If you want better odds to win on slots, you need to:

Choose the slots that have high payouts

Choose the slots with the correct volatility level

Choose the slot with the highest return to player

Read reviews of the slots on casino sites, forum, and reddit

Play on a licensed online casino site

While this might not be enough for you to beat slot machines and pick the winning slot machine every time you play, it will help you win more often and - more importantly - enjoy playing slots a lot more!

How do you pick a winning slot machine?

To pick a winning slot machine and get better odds to win when you spin the reels, you need to choose games that offer the right combination of betting limits, volatility, return-to-player, and wagering requirements (in case you play with a bonus).

What casino game has the best chance of winning?

In general, blackjack is the casino game with the best odds. In terms of slots, the best choice is to pick a game that offers a return-to-player over 97% like the slot devil's delight (RTP: 97.7%).

The slot machines you find on regulated casino sites are not rigged as their random number generator (RNG) is subject to frequent audits by state-owned gambling authorities. The same controls do not apply to unlicensed casinos — and that's why you should never play your games there.

5 slot machine strategy tips you didn’t know existed

We all believe that slot machines, one of the most popular casino games, are purely based on luck and nothing else. While this is quite near to truth there are still some ways using which you can improve your chances at winning that eye-catching jackpot on the slot machine. Today we’re going to touch on the 5 reel online slot machine strategies you never knew existed. They’re fairly basic and really easy to understand.

5. Have a betting pattern – have control over your bankroll

Let us start off by establishing a certain pattern for your bets. Consider starting with the lowest available bet. When you have lost several spins or hands, you should increase it by one; if you win, decrease it by one. While this strategy does not guarantee winning, it is a good way to have control over your bankroll and not to lose everything at once. Keep in mind that in the end it is the bankroll that is important.

4. Jackpots – bigger isn’t always better

In many casinos, the bigger 6-or-7-figure jackpots seem almost unattainable. On the other hand, you’ll see the smaller jackpot slots pay out more frequently. On huge progressive jackpot slot machines, a good chunk of each bet goes to feed the dedicated jackpot, but the potential payout is also ridiculously large. So if you want to win more for less playing slot machine with larger jackpots is also an option.

3. Know the payouts!

Slot machines that are based on reels have variant programming, meaning that the payout percentage may vary above and below its standard payout percentage. For example, if you are playing on a machine with a payout rate of 95% at times it might pay out 93% or 97%.

2. Weighing your chances

Always think of the probability and what your chances of winning are. For example, let’s say the machine you are playing on has 3 reels, each with 10 stops and a symbol on each of them is for the jackpot; if this is the case, three jackpot symbols would line up, on the average, once every 10310310 pulls, or 1,000 pulls. Weighing your chances, gives you more control over the game play.

1. Never get attached!

Never ever pick a favorite slot machine! If you get used to playing on one and the same machine each time you visit a casino because it treats you well, that might cause you some trouble. If it starts treating you bad, you might hesitate on giving it up and changing slot machines frequently is one of the primary strategies for gamblers. The basic rule is to keep going if you are breaking even and change machines if you are not.

Of course, the majority still depends on luck and probability, but generating a certain strategy can truly make some difference on the final outcome and play in your favor!

Slot machine strategies & tips

This page has two purposes. The first is to debunk some of the so-called “slot machine strategies” being sold by the ignorant and unethical. The other is to provide some legitimate slot machine tips that might actually help you win more often and have more fun while you’re at it.

How slot machines work

The first thing you need to understand about slot machines is how they determine winners. These games use a computer program called a random number generator (RNG) to constantly generate numbers. Those numbers determine which stop each reel winds up on after you spin the reels.

One important fact to remember is that this process is entirely random, and there’s no way to predict what’s going to happen on any given spin. Another important fact to remember is that each spin of the reels is an independent event. That means that the results of previous spins have NO effect on the results of the next spin.

The final fact to keep in mind is that the random number generators are programmed in such a way that the casino has an insurmountable mathematical advantage. If you play long enough, then the casino will win, because that’s the way the game is set up. That doesn’t mean you can’t walk away a winner in the short run, but it has nothing to do with picking hot or cold machines.

Slot machine strategies that don’t work

Here are a few of the strategies that are touted as winning techniques on the internet. Some of them are obviously ludicrous, while some of them seem to make sense but fall apart when examined with cold hard logic.

The zig zag system is one of my favorite nonsensical strategies. The idea is that you look at the reels at the various machines in an attempt to find a pattern. For example, you want to find a “V” shape or an “X” shape being drawn by any particular symbol. The idea is that such a machine is ready to pay off soon.

Of course, when you understand that the symbols on the reels are just for show, the entire strategy breaks down completely. Slot machines never become ready to pay off. Every spin is an independent event.

Money management systems are often touted as a way to make sure that you’re a winner, but the reality is much different. The idea behind money management is that you set win goals and loss limit. The goal is to limit the amount of money you lose when the machines are cold, and to quit while you’re ahead when the machines are hot.

Of course, we understand that slot machines don’t really get hot or cold, so in the long run, any type of money management scheme is irrelevant.

Often, money management techniques are combined with methods of predicting whether or not a slot machine game is hot or cold. Author john patrick has an entire book of strange-sounding “strategies” based on this combination.

One of these is called “the straight 60” strategy. The idea is that you’ll walk away from the slot machine once you’ve either won or lost 60% of your bankroll. The other stipulation in this system is that once you’ve had 9 naked pulls, you’ll also walk away. (A “naked pull” is one in which you win absolutely nothing on that spin.)

So, for example, suppose you start with a session bankroll of $25. You’ll play until you’ve done one of the following:

Lost $15.

Won $15.

Lost on 9 consecutive spins.

Honestly, that’s a pretty simple system, and remembering it and putting it into practice is a no-brainer. But the idea that it’s going to help you win more money and/or lose less money is ludicrous. Nothing about the system changes the odds in your favor.

Another system from that same book is called the “play and run” system. The idea behind this system is that you don’t spend more than 5 or 10 minutes at each slot machine game, then you run off with your winnings. Patrick suggests that you divide your bankroll into 5 or 10 sessions of 5 or 10 minutes each. Like all of his systems, you quit on any machine when you hit 9 naked pulls.

How anyone could think that this strategy would help them win more money playing slot machines is baffling.

Slot machine tips

Now that we’ve discussed a few of the strategies on slot machine games that don’t work, let’s look at some real, hard-nosed, fact-based slot machine tips which might actually make a difference to your bankroll. These tips are all based on the realities of how these games actually work.

Tip #1 – play for fun. The house has a mathematical edge, and you can’t beat it. So you should go into your gambling sessions expecting to lose, but hoping for the occasional win. Your goal should be to have some fun while you’re at it.

Tip #2 – join the slots club. Almost all casinos have loyalty bonuses, rebates, and rewards for players who patronize their establishments. They provide you with a card to insert into the machine so that they can track how much action you’ve bought to the casino. They then return a tiny percentage (something like 0.1% or 0.2%) to you in the form of rebates, food, travel benefits, and entertainment.

One slot machine myth you should ignore is that slots pay out less when you’re playing with your slot card inserted. That’s just nonsense. We discussed how the random number generator works earlier.

Tip #3 – skip the progressives, unless you’re determined to win a life-changing amount. Since the potential rewards on progressive slot machines are so high, the machines pay out less often. They have to in order to afford the rare huge jackpot. For the casual gambler, playing a machine with lower jackpots provides more opportunities to win, even though the winnings are smaller.

On the other hand, if you’re determined to win a million dollars, stick with the progressives. Just understand that you’re still unlikely to change your life with a huge slot machine jackpot. The odds are similar to those of winning the lottery.

Tip #4 – don’t play with the rent money. This should be common sense, but if you’re gambling with money you can’t afford to lose, then you have a problem and should seek professional help of some kind. You cannot play slots professionally.

Tip #5 – try video poker. These games are similar to slot machine games, but they provide better payout percentages and an opportunity to use strategy to improve your chances. Video poker isn’t for everybody, but I know lots of slots players who’ve made the switch once they tried it.

Tip #6 – slow down. Some slot machine players make 600 spins per hour or more. Keep this in mind though. The more action you bring to the casino, the more opportunities the house edge has to whittle away at your bankroll. So slow down. Talk to the gamblers next to you. Sip your drink between spins. Anything you can do to reduce the amount of money you’re putting into action each hour is going to make your bankroll last longer.

Tip #7 – don’t play the slots at the airport. These are the worst games in town in any gambling destination. Wait until you get to the casino to play the slots, and your money will last longer, and you’ll improve your chances of winning.

Tips to win at las vegas slot machines

Tricks to win big on slot machines

Slot machines consistently amount for 70 percent of all the business in casinos. These games have been popular since the 1980s. The slot machine offers jackpot amounts that can make someone a million dollar winner with a simple $3 bet. The progressive nature of the game makes the casino player feel like they have a chance to break the bank. The simplicity of the game also draws people in as little skill is required.

Know the payouts

Always look for machines with higher payout percentages. This can vary from game to game, as well as from casino to casino. Being familiar with the machines that pay out in the 96 percent to 98 percent range will allow the player to have the best shot at winning. Talking to the slot floor manager could also provide information on the best games to play. Casino specials are also a way to tell what machines might be paying out more. Machines that are shown in the advertisements are the machines the casino could be directing people to so they have people winning and telling others about those winnings.

Know your bankroll limit

Make it a habit to only play slots with the money from your initial bankroll, and not from any credits you may have earned along the way. As soon as you have reached the limit you have set for yourself, walk away. Walking out with money will make you feel like a winner. If that strategy is not acceptable to you as a player, set a limit on the amount of winnings you will be willing to lose (not including your bankroll). Then walk away when you have reached that loss limit.

Play low dollar machines first

Play the machines that have a lower number of reels on them. The machines that have only three or four reels are easier to read and will cost you less money per spin. While it is generally true that the higher stakes machines pay out larger amounts over time, if they don't fit your budget then they should be avoided. Only play those machines when you build up your bankroll to a comfortable level.

Maxamize your bet

Playing all the lines on a slot machine will enhance your chances of winning. Slot machines reward the players who consistently play the maximum bet by offering higher payouts. If your bankroll will not allow you to play the maximum bet on a machine select a machine that better fits your budget.

Get the reward card

Most casinos offer membership programs or rewards for allowing them to track your play. It is free to join a casinos rewards club, which will entitle you to free comps and promotions even if you do not win. This way, you will insure you get back something of financial value for your time spent gambling. These cards show how much you gamble, which can help in budgeting your bankroll as well.

Win at slots: 6 tips to improve your chances

Just because slot machines are the loudest and brightest game in any casino, doesn't mean it's easy to win at slots. Keep in mind these online casino strategies to maximize your chances of winning at slots.

Many people might believe that playing online slots is one of the simplest forms of gambling. Though this may be true in some regard, strategic thinking is also involved when playing slots, just like with online poker strategies.

How do online slot machines work?

Most players do not understand how to play and how to win at slot machines, perhaps because of negative assumptions like the simplicity behind the game, the high probability of winning and the theory that no online strategies are needed. Know that winning isn't necessarily easy and luck is very important as well as a basic idea of the how slot machines work.

Every spin on a slot machine is totally random. Every time the machine is played, the computer program picks a random symbol on the first, the second, then the third reel.

The payback or return of the machine is then based on the probability of lining up the winning combinations and the payout for these combinations.

The sequence of the symbols cannot be influenced, therefore, every spin has the same chance of winning as the previous spin.

Slots probability

The probability to win a significant amount on slot machines is slim to none. Normally, casinos do not disclose the odds on slot machines, except for in the UK. So, often players cannot be informed of their chances of winning, but the chances are low.

Generally speaking, the easier the game is, the worse the odds are and because slot machines are played much faster than other casino games they also take your money faster. Furthermore, whatever the slot odds are, they are usually worse than table games such as baccarat and blackjack.

That said, there are some offline strategies to improve your chances to win at slots. Keep reading to get the lowdown. Strategy # 1: the one play This is one of the simplest strategies for slots and also one of the most effective. The whole idea of this one play strategy is that you play the slot machine once with the highest amount possible. If you win, you play it again, if not you try another machine. It is a very simple strategy but does require a little bit of luck too, however it saves players from sitting at the same machine for hours. Strategy # 2: the standard deviation This strategy uses an advanced mathematical equation to determine what are the chances of winning on a certain slot machine. As on many other occasions, this strategy takes patience, concentration and budget to complete, however, a return is nearly guaranteed. Follow the steps below – how to use the standard deviation strategy? Find an “equal pay'” machine, meaning that the chosen slot machine receives an amount related to the number of coins you bet on a line. For example, you get 20 coins returned for 2 coins, therefore you would get 40 coins for a 4 coin bet. Next, find the standard number of spins between wins, by playing until you win and playing until you win again while counting the number of spins between each win. When you have the number of spins between each win for at least 10 times, you will now know the average number of spins between wins you can use on a high payout machine.

Online strategies: 6 casino tips to win at slots Here's a list of picks we suggest you follow if you want to step up your game with online casinos and video slots: Stick a fixed maximum payout Some video slots have a fixed maximum payout whereas others have progressive jackpots which means they have a meter which increases the jackpot with every play without a return. Therefore, the more people play them the higher the jackpot. Progressive games might seem the most attractive due to the high return. However, the huge disadvantage of the progressive games is that in most online casinos they are all linked together. Because of the number of people all playing for that huge jackpot amount, your odds of winning on a progressive game are lower. That goes not only for the jackpot amount but also for the odds of winning smaller amounts as well. Therefore, it might be more profitable to stick to games with a fixed maximum payout and limit play on progressive games with huge jackpots. Choose games with smallest jackpots To have the best chance to win at slots in the short term, choose the games with the smallest jackpots. The smaller the jackpot, the easier it is to win, increasing your chances of walking away a winner. The bigger the jackpot, the harder it is to actually hit and the more likely you'll lose in the short-term. It takes a lot of playing hours to create the huge jackpots which are why your chances are lower. Furthermore, games that are novelty themed with huge jackpots have the worst odds so stick to smaller returns. Avoid video reels Slot machines with videos might look more attractive and fun. But the reality is that these machines pay back far less than the normal machines. It can be anything up to a 5% less return, which might seem like nothing but is, in fact, a great amount for slots. The reason for this? The videos and entertainment features on slots take a bit longer to display. While this is happening the casino is not making money. So, the machine is programmed to take a little more money from customers when they are playing. Therefore, a good idea is to stick to the classic slot machines in order to improve return. How to win at online slots Not all online casinos are created equal. You need to find one that has big named slot games and in your preferred type of genre. Remember, more is better. Find the RTP of your chosen slot game The return to player is the theoretical percentage of money that you’ll earn playing a slot game. A high RTP, like 96%, means that you’ll usually make 96% of your investments back on average when playing a slot. A low RTP, around 70%, means you’ll usually only get 70% of your money back on average. Know the volatility of your chosen slot game Would you rather have small, consistent wins or is it more fun to try and get infrequent yet huge wins? Highly volatile slots tend to have fewer payouts with more money; low volatility slots usually have more frequent wins at a smaller value. Try to find games with free spins bonuses Many but not all online slots have bonus rounds that are triggered if certain conditions are met. In the bonus rounds, you get some special rules, game-play, and extra or free spins of the reel. Slot games with these bonus rounds often have huge payouts, although they can be volatile. Have a set amount of money you’re prepared to spend on the slots. If you’re playing this afternoon with $40, you stop whether or not you’ve lost it all or have made a nice profit. Don’t chase your loss in attempts to break even and when your allowance is up, walk away with your winnings if you have any. Online slots should never be a way to make money or strike it rich. Knowing the above tips can make your slot-playing experience even better! “the house always wins”, but you can still have a ton of fun while playing.

Promotions verified last on mar 6, 2020 Rule #1: gambling is entertainment. Vegas survival guide: beginner slot machine gambling tips Las vegas and gambling are almost synonymous, and for the beginner gambler, that first trip to a casino can be a little bit intimidating. Slot machines, as it turns out, are slightly more complicated than putting in a coin and either winning or losing. Nothing about slot machine gambling is actually difficult. For someone who has never gambled or is just getting started, though, it seems like there’s a lot to learn. Gambling basics We’ll get into the details about how to play slot machines momentarily, but for now, here’s what you need to know about gambling as a whole: Rule #1: gambling is entertainment. Especially as a beginner, you’re not going to win every time you gamble. Gambling is not an income strategy. Consider your gambling expenditure an entertainment expense, and you won’t be as disappointed when you lose. Rule #2: limit your losses. Before you sit down at a machine or a table, determine an amount of money that you are realistically willing to spend. Never gamble with borrowed money, and don’t try to make up your losses by gambling more. Set a realistic budget, and you’ll have much more fun. Remember, it’s an entertainment expense! Rule #3: respect other people in the casino. Spend some time in a las vegas casino, and you’ll probably encounter that most dreaded creature: the inconsiderate gambler. People who shout, throw chips around, overindulge in certain restricted substances, obnoxiously hog a row of machines, or get angry when they lose make casino games less fun for everyone. Please, for the sake of everyone: Use proper hygiene, respect your dealers and fellow players, and win and lose with grace. Gambling is meant to be fun, so have fun! By the way, most casinos have pretty strict rules against photography. However, four queens in downtown las vegas is photo friendly – most of the pictures in this post came from there. Rule #4: don’t miss out on freebies. Most casinos in las vegas have rewards programs that give you complimentary bonuses, or comps, for playing regularly. Before you sit down to play, go sign up for the rewards program. As you play, you’ll “earn” free nights in their hotel properties, complimentary meals, bonus chips for more play, and other perks. If you’re going to gamble anyway, there’s no reason to miss out. With those 4 basic rules in mind, let’s talk about the most common casino game you’re likely to encounter in a las vegas casino. How to play casino slots The majority of first-time gamblers begin on slot machines. All you really have to do is insert money and push a button. Compared to table games, slots are less intimidating for people who don’t know the proper etiquette when interacting with dealers, like placing your money on the table instead of handing it to the dealer. You’re also playing solo, which is far more comfortable for anyone who worries that other players will find their novice habits annoying. Modern slot machines are computerized, and they work with credits instead of coins… Though you can still find a few vintage options in downtown las vegas. Depending on the machine, a credit might be a penny, or it might be a dollar. The denomination of the machine will be prominently displayed. Once you’ve selected a machine and inserted your money to purchase credits, it’s time to start betting. Before you bet, though, understand this: The payline is the spot where symbols must line up in order for you to get paid. In the picture above, the machine only has one payline. Not all machines are like that, though. Some machines have multiple paylines. On this style of machine, you can select the number of paylines on which you would like to bet – see the “lines played” box. If you want to get paid for symbols that line up along the diagonal, for example, you’ll have to play multiple lines. This also means that each spin will cost more than 1 credit, because it costs you a credit for each line. The machine in the picture above also offers scatter pays. These allow you to win money, or in this case, bonus spins, if 3 of a certain symbol appear, even if they don’t line up. On this machine, it’s that BONUS symbol you see in the middle. This and similar types of machines include bonus rounds that give you things like free spins, second screen bonuses (like a minigame where you can win extra money) and other special features. Wheel of fortune and similar types of machines are another good example: When you get a “spin” symbol, you activate the wheel at the top of the game, which spins to give you the chance to win bonuses. As for minimum and maximum bets: Just like any type of gambling, the higher your bet, the higher the payout if you when. Always read the payout information on the machine to determine how to bet – on some machines, referred to as buy-a-pay machines, you must bet the maximum if you want to be paid for all combinations that might come up. A minimum bet on a buy-a-pay machine might pay if you line up cherries on the payline, but if three 7s come up and you only bet the minimum, you’ll get paid nothing. You must place a higher bet to be paid for cherries and 7s, and the highest bet for gold bars or other symbols to pay. On machines like this, or on progressive jackpot machines that only pay the jackpot if you placed the maximum bet, it doesn’t make sense to bet minimums. Wouldn’t you be upset if you hit the jackpot, but can’t get paid the jackpot amount because you placed a minimum bet? Again, the machine will have instructions, so don’t stress about which one is which. For the most part, all you’re going to do at a slot machine is insert money and push a button. They’re designed to be intuitive, so even if you’re confused reading this post, it will be much easier to get the hang of it at a machine. Have fun. Don’t let other well-meaning gamblers take the fun out of it for you. Everyone has strategies and advice, and most of it amounts to nothing but superstition. Just have a good time, and maybe win a few dollars if luck is on your side. Winning tips on playing casino slot machines How to beat video gambling machines Slots are ubiquitous in most casinos, as thousands line the floor of many gaming areas. Although the odds are stacked more against the player at these machines than in the casino table games, slots offer the chance to win a large amount of money while risking very little. While you will not win most of the time when you play the "one-armed bandits," you can increase your chances of winning by heeding some advice. Play "looser" slots Slot machines that tend to pay out a great percentage of the coins wagered in them are often called "loose" by gamblers, while those who pay out less are referred to as "tight." the problem is that you cannot tell by looking at a machine how "tight" or "loose" it is. There are some tricks to finding looser slots, however. In the U.S., the state gaming commission usually reports the payout percentages for various locales. The slots in downtown las vegas, nevada pay out more than the ones on the strip, for example, so you stand a better chance of winning if you play on fremont street. Higher denomination machines also are "looser," so you are more likely to win at a dollar slot than a penny slot. Bet the max On many slot machines, you cannot win the jackpot unless you wager the most number of coins on each spin. Check the rules on each machine to verify the jackpot requirements. You can easily bet the maximum number by pressing the big "bet max credits" button that is found on many slots. If following this procedure will make a big dent in your bankroll, consider moving down in denominations. Risk/reward of progressive slots Some states link together progressive slots across many casinos. A prime example are the megabucks machines in nevada. These machines have one unified jackpot that grows until one lucky customers hits it. These jackpots regularly grow into the millions of dollars. If you are looking for short-term gain, you should avoid these machines, as the standard payout percentage is less than for other slot machines. However, if you want to take a chance at the big payout give the progressive machines a try. Join the slot club Almost all casinos offer slot clubs, or players clubs. When you sign up you get a card that you insert into the machine. When you spin the reels, you earn points that can later be redeemed for gifts or comps such as free trips to the buffet. Always sign up for and use this card when you play slots in a casino.

Offline slots strategies

Granted, there's a low probability of winning a substantial amount on slot machines. That said, there are some offline strategies to improve your chances to win at slots. Keep reading to get the lowdown.

Strategy # 1: the one play

This is one of the simplest strategies for slots and also one of the most effective. The whole idea of this one play strategy is that you play the slot machine once with the highest amount possible. If you win, you play it again, if not you try another machine.

It is a very simple strategy but does require a little bit of luck too, however it saves players from sitting at the same machine for hours.

Strategy # 2: the standard deviation

This strategy uses an advanced mathematical equation to determine what are the chances of winning on a certain slot machine. As on many other occasions, this strategy takes patience, concentration and budget to complete, however, a return is nearly guaranteed.

Follow the steps below – how to use the standard deviation strategy?

Find an “equal pay'” machine, meaning that the chosen slot machine receives an amount related to the number of coins you bet on a line. For example, you get 20 coins returned for 2 coins, therefore you would get 40 coins for a 4 coin bet.

Next, find the standard number of spins between wins, by playing until you win and playing until you win again while counting the number of spins between each win.

When you have the number of spins between each win for at least 10 times, you will now know the average number of spins between wins you can use on a high payout machine.

Online strategies: 6 casino tips to win at slots

Here's a list of picks we suggest you follow if you want to step up your game with online casinos and video slots:

Stick a fixed maximum payout

Some video slots have a fixed maximum payout whereas others have progressive jackpots which means they have a meter which increases the jackpot with every play without a return. Therefore, the more people play them the higher the jackpot.

Progressive games might seem the most attractive due to the high return. However, the huge disadvantage of the progressive games is that in most online casinos they are all linked together. Because of the number of people all playing for that huge jackpot amount, your odds of winning on a progressive game are lower.

That goes not only for the jackpot amount but also for the odds of winning smaller amounts as well. Therefore, it might be more profitable to stick to games with a fixed maximum payout and limit play on progressive games with huge jackpots.

Choose games with smallest jackpots

To have the best chance to win at slots in the short term, choose the games with the smallest jackpots.

The smaller the jackpot, the easier it is to win, increasing your chances of walking away a winner. The bigger the jackpot, the harder it is to actually hit and the more likely you'll lose in the short-term.

It takes a lot of playing hours to create the huge jackpots which are why your chances are lower. Furthermore, games that are novelty themed with huge jackpots have the worst odds so stick to smaller returns.

Avoid video reels

Slot machines with videos might look more attractive and fun. But the reality is that these machines pay back far less than the normal machines. It can be anything up to a 5% less return, which might seem like nothing but is, in fact, a great amount for slots.

The reason for this? The videos and entertainment features on slots take a bit longer to display. While this is happening the casino is not making money. So, the machine is programmed to take a little more money from customers when they are playing. Therefore, a good idea is to stick to the classic slot machines in order to improve return.

How to win at online slots

Not all online casinos are created equal. You need to find one that has big named slot games and in your preferred type of genre. Remember, more is better.

Find the RTP of your chosen slot game

The return to player is the theoretical percentage of money that you’ll earn playing a slot game. A high RTP, like 96%, means that you’ll usually make 96% of your investments back on average when playing a slot.
A low RTP, around 70%, means you’ll usually only get 70% of your money back on average.

Know the volatility of your chosen slot game

Would you rather have small, consistent wins or is it more fun to try and get infrequent yet huge wins? Highly volatile slots tend to have fewer payouts with more money; low volatility slots usually have more frequent wins at a smaller value.

Try to find games with free spins bonuses

Many but not all online slots have bonus rounds that are triggered if certain conditions are met. In the bonus rounds, you get some special rules, game-play, and extra or free spins of the reel. Slot games with these bonus rounds often have huge payouts, although they can be volatile.

Have a set amount of money you’re prepared to spend on the slots. If you’re playing this afternoon with $40, you stop whether or not you’ve lost it all or have made a nice profit.
Don’t chase your loss in attempts to break even and when your allowance is up, walk away with your winnings if you have any.

Online slots should never be a way to make money or strike it rich. Knowing the above tips can make your slot-playing experience even better! “the house always wins”, but you can still have a ton of fun while playing.

Rule #1: gambling is entertainment.

Vegas survival guide: beginner slot machine gambling tips

Las vegas and gambling are almost synonymous, and for the beginner gambler, that first trip to a casino can be a little bit intimidating.

Slot machines, as it turns out, are slightly more complicated than putting in a coin and either winning or losing.

Nothing about slot machine gambling is actually difficult.

For someone who has never gambled or is just getting started, though, it seems like there’s a lot to learn.

Gambling basics

We’ll get into the details about how to play slot machines momentarily, but for now, here’s what you need to know about gambling as a whole:

Rule #1: gambling is entertainment.

Especially as a beginner, you’re not going to win every time you gamble.

Gambling is not an income strategy.

Consider your gambling expenditure an entertainment expense, and you won’t be as disappointed when you lose.

Rule #2: limit your losses.

Before you sit down at a machine or a table, determine an amount of money that you are realistically willing to spend.

Never gamble with borrowed money, and don’t try to make up your losses by gambling more.

Set a realistic budget, and you’ll have much more fun.

Remember, it’s an entertainment expense!

Rule #3: respect other people in the casino.

Spend some time in a las vegas casino, and you’ll probably encounter that most dreaded creature: the inconsiderate gambler.

People who shout, throw chips around, overindulge in certain restricted substances, obnoxiously hog a row of machines, or get angry when they lose make casino games less fun for everyone.

Please, for the sake of everyone:

Use proper hygiene, respect your dealers and fellow players, and win and lose with grace.

Gambling is meant to be fun, so have fun!

By the way, most casinos have pretty strict rules against photography. However, four queens in downtown las vegas is photo friendly – most of the pictures in this post came from there.

Rule #4: don’t miss out on freebies.

Most casinos in las vegas have rewards programs that give you complimentary bonuses, or comps, for playing regularly.

Before you sit down to play, go sign up for the rewards program.

As you play, you’ll “earn” free nights in their hotel properties, complimentary meals, bonus chips for more play, and other perks.

If you’re going to gamble anyway, there’s no reason to miss out.

With those 4 basic rules in mind, let’s talk about the most common casino game you’re likely to encounter in a las vegas casino.

How to play casino slots

The majority of first-time gamblers begin on slot machines.

All you really have to do is insert money and push a button.

Compared to table games, slots are less intimidating for people who don’t know the proper etiquette when interacting with dealers, like placing your money on the table instead of handing it to the dealer.

You’re also playing solo, which is far more comfortable for anyone who worries that other players will find their novice habits annoying.

Modern slot machines are computerized, and they work with credits instead of coins…

Though you can still find a few vintage options in downtown las vegas.

Depending on the machine, a credit might be a penny, or it might be a dollar. The denomination of the machine will be prominently displayed.

Once you’ve selected a machine and inserted your money to purchase credits, it’s time to start betting.

Before you bet, though, understand this:

The payline is the spot where symbols must line up in order for you to get paid.

In the picture above, the machine only has one payline.

Not all machines are like that, though. Some machines have multiple paylines.

On this style of machine, you can select the number of paylines on which you would like to bet – see the “lines played” box. If you want to get paid for symbols that line up along the diagonal, for example, you’ll have to play multiple lines.

This also means that each spin will cost more than 1 credit, because it costs you a credit for each line.

The machine in the picture above also offers scatter pays. These allow you to win money, or in this case, bonus spins, if 3 of a certain symbol appear, even if they don’t line up. On this machine, it’s that BONUS symbol you see in the middle.

This and similar types of machines include bonus rounds that give you things like free spins, second screen bonuses (like a minigame where you can win extra money) and other special features.

Wheel of fortune and similar types of machines are another good example:

When you get a “spin” symbol, you activate the wheel at the top of the game, which spins to give you the chance to win bonuses.

As for minimum and maximum bets:

Just like any type of gambling, the higher your bet, the higher the payout if you when.

Always read the payout information on the machine to determine how to bet – on some machines, referred to as buy-a-pay machines, you must bet the maximum if you want to be paid for all combinations that might come up.

A minimum bet on a buy-a-pay machine might pay if you line up cherries on the payline, but if three 7s come up and you only bet the minimum, you’ll get paid nothing. You must place a higher bet to be paid for cherries and 7s, and the highest bet for gold bars or other symbols to pay.

On machines like this, or on progressive jackpot machines that only pay the jackpot if you placed the maximum bet, it doesn’t make sense to bet minimums.

Wouldn’t you be upset if you hit the jackpot, but can’t get paid the jackpot amount because you placed a minimum bet?

Again, the machine will have instructions, so don’t stress about which one is which.

For the most part, all you’re going to do at a slot machine is insert money and push a button. They’re designed to be intuitive, so even if you’re confused reading this post, it will be much easier to get the hang of it at a machine.

Have fun. Don’t let other well-meaning gamblers take the fun out of it for you.

Everyone has strategies and advice, and most of it amounts to nothing but superstition. Just have a good time, and maybe win a few dollars if luck is on your side.
