Tips and Strategies
for Slots
Needless to say that slots are the casinos biggest money
makers. Everybody who sets foot into a casino plays the
slots at least once. Just like lotteries the slots provide
a chance to instant fortune for a relatively small investment.
There are basically no rules or strategies to memorize,
still, playing the slots intelligently does require certain
skills.
Here you will find the basics of how to increase your
winning chances of winning or even hitting the jackpot.
All slots work pretty much the same weather online or in
a real casino. In a real casino you spin the wheels either
by pulling on a handle or by pushing a button. In an online
casino, which is also a real casino just not physical as
those in Las Vegas or elsewhere, you use your mouse. Sounds
easy but you need to know more to win.
On Regular or "Straight" slots the winning
jackpot is part of a winning schedule and never changes.
The jackpot amount is mostly posted clearly on the machine.
Regular slots offer more realistic odds than the other kind
you will find in any casino. Those are called "Progressive"
slots and as the name implies the winning jackpot grows
lager and larger with every coin inserted. Although the
jackpot in straight machines always seems less and not as
lucrative than the one in progressive slots, the winning
chances are much higher on regular.
Regular Slots!
As a minor rule, it is always wise to play a traditional
three reel machine featuring "Bar" and
"7" symbols. Due to the three reel system
the slot does not have as many combinations available as
for instance four or even five reel machines. Those machines
naturally offer a much higher jackpot but because of their
many combinations with single, double, triple bars, sevens
and other emblems the chance of getting the right combination
is decreased.
Progressive Slots!
If you really want to go for the highest jackpot available
on slots you should go for one of those. But always bare
in mind that the odds on those machines are even higher
than on a regular five wheel one. On the other hand people
seem to win on those machines too and you never know, today
might be your lucky day.
Another thing you need to know is how many coins
you want to play and how the payout system on the machine
you are playing on works.
Most machines accept one to five coins and the payout of
the jackpot depends on how much coins you played. For instance
if the payout for one coin is 500, the payout for 2 coins
would be 1000, three coins 1500 and so on. In this case
it wouldn't be an advantage to play more than one coin,
unless winning 500 is not enough.
On other slots the jackpot is paid at a much higher multiplier
on maximum coin play. Let's say the return for one coin
if you hit the pot is 500, the return for two coins could
be 1200, the return for 3 coins would be 2000 and so on.
In this case it would be much better to always play the
highest coin count. You should always play maximum coins
if a bonus is offered.
