Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll)

[swogerino]

I think the Pragmatic Play offers really good slots but their lack of giving the bonus round as often as the Play n Go providers makes them not my main favorite,it is still Play n Go because I need to be teased with the bonus round more often.Nevertheless both providers for me are the top two when it come to slot gaming,I rarely play any other provider beside these two well except the Relax Gaming Money Train slots,they are really great ones and Nolimit City only Road Rage slot.I like only these slots so far and I keep an eye on new slots released by all providers.

Pragmatic slots usually bonus in few hundred spins, even Sweet Bonanza can pay 10x of the bonus buy amount in rare cases since it is considered a medium volatile slot. No Limit City and Hacksaw slots can go crazy even in the base game, Karen Maneater slot of NLC has paid over 800x in the base game with connecting full lines of the best character. TBH, I don't like PnG provider slots, especially Tome of Madness which has been played by slots streamers for hours with increased bet size. Even 6 portals on a bonus round of ToM don't pay 100x, I prefer the hunting duel bonus of the Wanted Dead Wild slot of Hacksaw games rather than spinning ToM.

Haha BTW I am a fan of Tome of Madness game although  low return but quite often triggers bonuses usually I play it at the beginning of my gambling
My highest multiplier so far is x400 I hit the premium symbol with a super wild and full  screen this moment is very rare.

So far the game that offers the highest multiplier is Nolimit City with a multiplier up to X300,000 is there a game that offers higher?
While the highest multiplier I got was X50000 in the game of Money Train 2  games that are sometimes annoying.

There is Money Train 3 which I think offers the same multiplier from Relax Gaming at X300.000 but I am not sure about this,what I am sure is this game was and is a hit since the beginning and there are a lot of people playing with it.

I am going to try this Tome of Madness in demo mode to check if the bonus triggers quite often and if that is the case then soon after I am going to change to real money mode to see for myself,x400 though is very little as a multiplier.

Money Train max multiplier is limited up to 100,000x only which is the highest among other relax gaming games if I remember it correctly.

I am going to try this Tome of Madness in demo mode to check if the bonus triggers quite often and if that is the case then soon after I am going to change to real money mode to see for myself,x400 though is very little as a multiplier.

Tome of Madness is one of my favorite games when I was still active in Fortunejack. It is a nice game although it has low max multiplier, but as per my experience is that the chance to hit the bonus round is easy than other Play n Go games. Hitting more than 500x in this game can be considered as SUPER already imho, because most of the time bonus round gave me around 50-150x only.

So no Max Win this week? you forgot to post it or I was the only one, not sure   a pleasant week for me managed to get some big wins in several casinos
BK8, Punt and Stake is my favorite casino to play at this time simple reason because I can use local currencies, this is one of my Max Win if you want to watch

Very good! This 500x multiplier and come 3 times, on one reel is a very rare, you are so lucky bro. no one has shared max-win from members who usually join this thread, it looks like they don't playing yet or don't want to share. Usually it is Panjul who often gets big wins from pragmatic. Sometimes I follow him if he wins, I try the same game. but what I follow is only fruit party 1 and fruit party 2. 2 times i follow him and got win too   (just lucky day)

Nice, at least you hit over 200x on Tome of Madness it is usually low payout on every single bonus round for me. It is 300kx for Tombstone Rip slot of No limit City but super bonus with 999x multiplier is needed on full lines for that max win which is insane. Money train 2 was my favorite one till MT3, 50kx is also awesome hit,  I don't know how you guys manage hitting it. MT3 has 100kx max win multiplier but I feel lucky hitting even 300x on bonus rounds nowadays.

Crazy wins only need 2 spins, already maxwin with 500x falling 3x this is really very lucky for you.
It's hard for me to get this Jackpot, lol
On weekends I always do my favorite slot players (Gate Of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza) still not feeling big, maybe I'll go to BK8 to try new sensations and good luck too. lol

The 100x hit I've ever had was only $208 and now I don't feel it anymore.

I envy these guys,I played for more than 500 spins the 15 Crystal Roses a Tale of Love from Play n Go and no bonus round I guess it is bye bye forever for me to this provider which I have praised that much only to screw me over and over again,I think Pragmatic Play are better and starting from the next week I am going to play their games,I am sure their most famous games and their new ones offer much better game play and most probably keep you play longer and beside that there is even a promotion going on by this provider.

And one last thing,they say they get you legendary spins if you get 15 roses which are also the scatter for the bonus game,so far I have never seen 15 roses even in the streamers in Youtube that play for hours,absolute liars,bye bye Play n Go for me.

Same here I am also a fan of Tome of Madness, I often end up depleting my bankroll just playing that game LOL.  I don't know what get me hooked on that game, the reward isn't that huge and most of the time the win from the bonus spin is less than 50x.

So far the game that offers the highest multiplier is Nolimit City with a multiplier up to X300,000 is there a game that offers higher?

Yeah, they offer an insane amount of multiplier but in return also offer extreme volatility slots.  The No Limit slot game pays either a HUGE amount or NONE at all.  I often have less than 10x from the buy option and also experienced 0x from their slot's bonus.

We all feel the same about this game, it is quite addictive while in fact it does not give great return. I do not even think there is someone who have hit the max multiplier in Tome of Madness although the max multiplier is 2,000x only. This is why I always says that Pragmatic is better for hunting bigger multiplier with equal volatility compared to Play N Go. I also still wondering why Play N Go is still not following the trend of buy bonus feature. I think many people have left Play N Go because they do not have buy bonus feature while most other popular providers has it.

Playing using normal spins cannot guarantee that in a few counts you will get free spins. Because, from several game i've played, like Spadegaming, PGsoft and Pragmatic I've done spins up to 1000, no bonus round was obtained. So it really depends on the luck of each users. We can not guess what will be in the 1000 spins. After all, expecting a bonus round is not really good, because from this round, we can gets dead spins. So, my first assumption was, it's better to buy feature bonus spins than normal spins, because in the end, the chance for a multiplier is in the bonus round. But, the advantage of Pragmatic is, I almost reached max-win several times from normal spins.

What if bonus spins depends on the gambling house 'coz they just have the power to do so dince it is part of the promotions for that particular game, and that is also why even reaching 2000 spins for a particular gambling platform does not reward bonus spins while a thousand spins also doesn't result into such thing. Much be better if you would be able to contact support from the gambling site you are playing from. On my end, way back when I'm just new in this industry, I engaged with slot machines and dice games because these are the games which can be easily played. If I can remember it correctly, I've spent on normal spins. Multiplier spins was catchy not until it makes your money lose faster if it is really not your day Lol.

There is a big problem with this Play n Go provider because during FUN play they usually give bonuses with an average of 150-250 spins as a maximum and often much more often than this number,everything changes when it gets to real money play,they have some games in which they can change the RTP but this one the 15 Crystal Roses has only one RTP and it cannot be changed.

The difference with Pragmatic Play is that they need the same average number of spins both in FUN play and in real money mode to trigger the bonus,that is what gets me mad from Play n Go.

~ There is Money Train 3 which I think offers the same multiplier from Relax Gaming at X300.000 but I am not sure about this,what I am sure is this game was and is a hit since the beginning and there are a lot of people playing with it.

I am such a huge fan of Money Train 2 that Money Train 3 came as a real disappointment to me. I don't like the music on the background, I don't like the sounds overall, and, I know it's just my subjective experience, but I feel like the payouts of MT3 are smaller and happen less often.

I also like the pictures of MT2 better.

I wanna see this cool guy instead of this bum

I wanna see this Pearl Hart looking lady bandit instead of this doll

And this guy looks much cooler to me than this displeased face What's the matter, mate? Did you broke your nose, or what?

Also, the highest possible multiplier for MT3 is 100,000x, not 300,000x, but it doesn't matter, because I'm not going to play this game again anyway.

Well I don't really know about that power, if the gambling provider have this power, so gambling can't be a fun game ever. In online slot games, I think free spins is completely random by algorithm (CMIIW). I can say this because sometime from 100 normal spins I've play, sometimes I got more than 2 free spins. But, if what you mean a traditional machines, i never ever use it, so i can't comments anything.

Providers may have the power but I dont think they will do it because it will be bad for their reputation once there is someone able to prove that they control the outcome of the games.
Yes it is completely random and based on our luck, sometimes we get free spins frequently but some other times we do not get free spins after so many spins.
I do believe it applies for both real slot machines and online slot, but maybe there are some bad casinos that do such thing to steal money from their players.
No one knows, the only thing we can do is just to play the game responsibly and once we lose our trust, we should leave it.

There is a big problem with this Play n Go provider because during FUN play they usually give bonuses with an average of 150-250 spins as a maximum and often much more often than this number,everything changes when it gets to real money play,they have some games in which they can change the RTP but this one the 15 Crystal Roses has only one RTP and it cannot be changed.

The difference with Pragmatic Play is that they need the same average number of spins both in FUN play and in real money mode to trigger the bonus,that is what gets me mad from Play n Go.

I do have not enough experience with Pragmatic Play since I have no way to pay with without a use of VPN but with regards to Play n Go, I can say that there is no way we can prove that the demo game has a higher RTP than the real money game.  In my experience,  I often trigger the bonus round with 50 to 100 spins but will make it harder as the game session gets longer.  Though, I can say that luck still has an effect on the chance of triggering a bonus, and possibly the casino we are playing.  recently I find it hard to get in a bonus round on stake while I find it easier to trigger the bonus round on livecasino, maybe because I have been playing in stake for a longer time with the same set of slots game.  It is somehow debatable but I am just stating something that is according to my personal experience.

I am also not a fan of Money train, I never had a good win from that slot, the first time I got a persistent collector (was playing MT2), the bonus game died out after 3 rolls lol, not even a single save.  On the MT3, I watch streamers often get rekt.  And most of the time if they buy the highest option, they were given the persistent collecter and when they got a sniper, the bonus round often ended with just 3 spins.

That is the most hated point of Money Train bonus rounds, it just dies after 3 small multipliers without opening new room for more multipliers. Buying the highest bonus means one of the persistent multi features stays during full bonus round but the disgusting part is it can go dead for 3 or 5 rounds. I usually prefer to spin slots instead of bonus buys, MT3 is volatile so I stop chasing bonus after 300 spins usually.

In high-extreme volatility slot especially for Money Train family, I prefer to use buy bonus than normal spins. Reason is simple, because of my own experience. Getting FS in these games is rare or harder compared to medium-high volatility slot, most of the time we need to play hundreds of spins (we can lost more than the buy bonus cost) for a single FS but once we get the FS, the result is so bad. Obviously it is about preferences, but I still think that buy bonus is better than playing with normal spins for high-extreme volatility slots.

I tend to agree but only when you have at least 200-500 dollars to spend and rather than playing buying the bonus because I have tried Money Train 3 after all the hype when it first came out and played more than 2500 spins without getting the bonus round,so I doubt the buy bonus is higher than 250x in almost every game that offers this buy bonus feature although I don't recall it correctly know how much it is.My argument is that you need to test the buy bonus at least 20-25 times and if just only one of these hits you like let's say x40000 or more you will be in a great profit considering the initial amount you played,so you are correct in such game is better to directly try your luck with the buy bonus feature.

Well, that's surely not my experience with MT2. As I said, I'm a huge fan of this slot. Not trying to say that it's a money-making machine, but I personally, just because of luck, in profit from playing MT2. My highest multiplier was around 700x, and I had lots 100x+ playing this slot.

Yeah, me too. It is more entertaining to actually play the game than to watch a flick about you losing money.
