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

[Doell]

https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/uO7qJNLXvt still not satisfied because x5000 still have 14 rounds to go free spins.

Congrats mate! Fckin hell you won max-win on the 1st spin
Yeah, I know the feeling because of the duration is too short! Nevertheless, you should be happy with the max-win regardless of how you achieve it

By the way, not sure how I helped you since slots is just about luck and bankroll management. IDR 200 bet is fun right?! You just can't go broke with such a low bet.

That's right didn't lose much when I bet IDR200, at first I tried the patterns given by the admin on whatsapp but their patterns didn't really work. (Just curious because I keep losing), then read your thread again and read all the discussions in this beloved community. Honestly this is very helpful for me, all of you guys motivate me.

It seems I found an alternative when I was bored playing Sweet Bonanza, I tried to play Wild Wet Win (Spadegaming), and the results were very good, when I tried to bet IDR 100K, I won 800K, not a big win, but quite satisfying.



However, it is highly recommended to go out after a big win, because after that win, with the same bet, I lost 600K after that.

Yes, several games allow you to earn a small fortune without much effort, but they seem to be programmed to screw the player after that.
That's a good strategy you've adopted... risk playing something different and walking out as soon as you win a big bet, it seems that makes it difficult for the house to track your winnings.

Based on my experience, it's really better to leave the game after a hood win because you'll surely lose bigger afterward which seems like a trap for most players that usually leads to gambling addiction. It's better to be wise and practical than to aim for more and be greedy. I think that's a good mindset of a smart player.

Finally another max win in one of pragmatic play slots, although not with big bet but it is always nice to hit max win.
Hit it on the 4th spins out of 12 free spins, I did not expect it since I was losing my hope because I was getting closed to get busted but luck came at the right time

How often do the bonus round falls on the reels?I am finally trying to switch from my favorite slot which is produced in August 2019 and is an old one for today standards.I love an addictive gameplay with hit frequency of at least 34% and the bonus round to fall at a maximum of 300 spins or to be at average at 150-200 spins.Usually Play n Go slots are or were used to have such standard but I don't know why they have lost it during their latest releases.
Any better provider beside Pragmatic which anyone seems to have a high opinion here ?

To be honest, I've never done normal spins for Sweet Bonanza nor for Wild Wet Win, because I prefer to use the bonus buy feature. I've tried on starlight, if not lucky, the amount spent is more when using normal spins than bonus buys, sometimes starlight giving 1 free bonus reel on 100 spins, but sometimes it's more than that, for the exact number, I don't really remember.

Any better provider beside Pragmatic which anyone seems to have a high opinion here ?

I'm still new, so far I've only tried Pragmatic with bonanza family and starlight, for other providers I've just tried spadegaming.

In this case, better is about preferences. Better for me does not mean better for other and vice versa because we all have our own preferences about which kind of slot game we like to play. However I'd like to tell you all my favorite providers except pragmatic. They are Thunderkick, NoLimit City, Quickspin and ELK.

Yeah, so far I still haven't tried other games besides pragmatic and some games from spadegaming, there are so many games that need to be tried, but I'm trying to play in games that have experienced luck and still not interested in trying to find luck in other games for now. But, in the past week, I haven't had any luck. maybe next time i will try other after trying in demo

There are lots of games, hundreds or even thousands, so you simply can't try them all 
Pragmatic is a good start since they have pretty balanced games in term of volatility and max-win.
Next you can try PlaynGO for normal spins experience but still entertaining, but the newer games have lower RTP.
Then you can try Red Tiger and PG Soft games, and finally NoLimit and Hacksaw with their extreme volatility.
In the extreme bracket, you can also play Push Gaming, Relax Gaming, etc.
So many games, but you have limited funds, so you have to be careful. Moreover, most of them have pretty high minimum bet

When I was actively gambling few years back, I liked to find out about new slot game in youtube. Lets say there are some games that attract me, I'll search in on youtube to know how the game works. I do not like to play with demo mode, I prefer to try the game with real money although with few spins only and with the lowest possible min bet. This way I get a better experience and obviously there is a chance to win real money while trying the new game.

That is something that needs to be improved I think,the minimum bet in many of the games for example Pragmatic has like 0.25 min bet when you want to have a higher chance to win the bonus they say.However they have a great option which some of the other providers don't have which is the buy in feature,I was playing Rock Vegas or I don't remember the name exactly but the bonus round was really really nice,it was in almost the same league as that of the Play n Go slots which you can go up to 100x your bet in the bonus round.There really are tons of games to play,but I like to test most of them in demo mode especially these with buy in feature,so I can try many times the feature to see the average reward.

Yes, there are many choices of games and providers to try, but with minimal funds, I may not be able to play for the near future, I want to fix everything first, you understand what I'm going through because I've shared it with you. ha ha ha. Playing Sweet Bonanza, it's a little boring, after a big win, it's like the system still doesn't want to make me win *jokes*

I have to be careful now, I'm very often out of control when playing, I don't want that to happen again, so I'll go for the demo first. because if I didn't consider with the demo first, maybe what I experienced would be much worse.

Hey slot addicts, do you feel that Pragmatic sucks in the last few weeks or it is just me who feel like this?
I'm sure I made hundreds buy bonus during the last 7 days, but I did not even get more than 10x in various different slots.
I played Fruit Party (1 and 2), Gates of Olympus, and Madame Destiny Megaways but the results were so bad.
I want to follow roycilik, to play higher volatility slots from yggdrasil, hacksaw or no limit city but unfortunately the min bet is around 10x higher than Pragmatic if I use IDR.

[mu_enrico]

Hey slot addicts, do you feel that Pragmatic sucks in the last few weeks or it is just me who feel like this?

Yes, it's been more severe in the past 1-2 weeks. I've lost stupid amount of money considering only bet with IDR. I wonder if I bet with USD, I'd be homeless by now
Instead of those extreme providers, I'd recommend PnG since, based on my playing session, it still gave me some decent wins compared to Pragmatic.
Hacksaw is okay because it has IDR 1k min bet, but I haven't got lucky there.

[Doell]

I found this new game on pragmatic play, it's actually not a new thing for all of us here. It's a game like a crash that is at stake, as for others maybe I often say a flying rocket that is destroyed when it gets multiplied. I might want to ask you guys if anyone has ever played this game on Pragmatic, is this game fair enough to bet on it ? on the pragmatic menu it's strangely included in the slot and maxwin only x5000.

[Bitinity]

^^ @Doell
I dont think it should be discussed here, although the game comes from pragmatic but it is not a slot game. It is a crash game obviously, a completely different game to slot so it has nothing to do with this thread imo. Better to focus on the main discussion which is about slot games only, otherwise this thread may turn into "all gambling games" thread. Just my 2 cents.

I am pretty confident that you have chosen some of the wrong slots.Personally in the game Rock Vegas which offers one of the best bonus games I think you should have much more good luck than just a mere 10x,I am pretty confident you will get like a minimum of x500 to x1000 at this game if you buy the bonus rounds enough times like you have done in this other slots.I think your only error is that you have gone for the slots which everyone else is after.Try it with some money you can afford to lose and let me know,my last session there was great but I lost everything soon after that as I kept playing for much longer time.

I played the game when it was released in Stake sometime ago and I did not see that the game has buy bonus feature.
Checked it few seconds ago and still....I cant find the buy bonus feature. Where did you see this Rock Vegas game with buy bonus feature?
Oh let me know first, you are referring to the Rock Vegas Mega Hold and Spin by Pragmatic, arent you?
If you are referring to other Rock Vegas, please tell me which game or which provider.

[seleme]

Do you guys still prefer medium volatile slots with lower variance aka more hits but low multi bonuses?
My friend got max win on Back to Venus slot, he got almost full screen wilds during bonus round. I am still hunting over 500x multi on Tomb of Nefertiti slot which bonuses for me often than Pragmatic slots.
For relax gaming BRL and for PlaynGo slots PHP currencies have lower minimum bet size if you guys wanna try new released slots by mentioned providers.
