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

[panjul07]

You know, slot is fun but expensive, so we must use our time and money wisely.

Nowadays slot is not that expensive like what we used to see few years back, now we can play it with few hundreds IDR only per spin especially for Pragmatic.
Even though not many crypto casinos that let us to play with IDR but at least there are some.
I hope to see cheaper min bet with IDR in other providers like what we can do with Pragmatic.
Currently the min bet with IDR in other providers is basically the same as if we use USD.

99% of slots players feel the same except @roycilik, but as long as you can control it, the habit won't progress to the worse situation.

Yep, we can't follow him, following him for betting can be a mistake, haha.. about expensive, i agree, although we can bet with a very small money, in the end if we can't control it like what i experienced before, it will be very expensive. Even now, sometimes I still want to keep playing when I lose with the hope of winning, but considering the advice, at least I can hold the urge to play. However, when I don't playing a gamble, I get stuck in the future, haha

But not like playing gambling, mostly I used to trading future with lower than my gambling activity 🤣

Yes slot is expensive if we are looking at the cost of the buy bonus but I dont think slot is expensive if we play with normal spins. Of course it can be very expensive if we do not set our own budget as what we can afford to lose only. It is expensive because of its high house edge so for sure we should play it wisely and do not play just because we see many big wins shared by others especially by our own friends. In this situation, shared big wins is an evil for others kidding.

IMO, we are using buy features or normal spins, this is made us paid in equal. I mean, I very often using normal spins, until 200 normal spins i never get a bonus features. Of course bonus buy maybe made us loss more faster than normal spins, but, if we are luck on bonus buy, we get a big win just with x100 from base bet.

Baout share a big win is evil, i think its true, because i see mu_enrico win, today i open my account and i use my rebate balance, why today, last month i share my though, if i played on wednesday, mostly i'm luck. an voila, i got another max-win from fruit party 1

so i'm part of evil now, lol

Just wanna share my another nice win in hacksaw gaming, to prove that roycilik is not the only one who share win in hacksaw game LOL



It is 26x of the bonus buy or 2600x from the base bet or more than a half of the max win on this game (Joker Bomb).
Thanks to roycilik who teased me to play hacksaw although I got more bad results than the good one
At least it is recover some of my last week loss.

This is my first experience to bet without using the buy free spins feature as a test & trial. I tried it in Fruit Party 1 and also in Caishen (spade gaming), for Fruit Party 1, I did 1000 normal spins and only got 1x bonus. And for Caishen I only get after 500+ spins. even though I get the bonus, the result can't cover the loss from normal spins  . From this, I conclude that using normal spins is likely to be a waste of time. Although this is back to luck, because from 100 normal spins you can get some bonus features, however, when compared to normal spins and buying bonus free spins, I prefer to use buy free spins.

In that situation, you may feel that buy feature worth than normal spins but in other situation where you get more free spins while you are playing, you will feel the opposite. Buy bonus feature is designed to those who do not want to spend longer time playing normal spins to hunt free spins/bonus feature. Winning big by normal spins give me higher excitement than winning big from buy feature but I have to be honest that I do prefer buy feature as well after I knew it for the first time.

Yesterday unfortunately the greed got the best out of me and ended losing everything.I still play my preferred slot which you all know about it here,and it deceived me brutally yesterday while I was playing with minimal bet it gave me like near 100 USD in profit in a very short amount of time,the multipliers keep hitting very often even in normal game play and bonus round was falling often on the game,once I reached 200 USD I could have withdrawn with 100 USD in profit.But then I decided to raise the bar and played with 1 USD as a bet losing everything.

Why did I see some regrets in that story? But I bet you only play with your extra money.  At least you had your share of fun with playing slots so I think there should be no regrets there. As one of the gambling advisor sites stated: "If you gamble you should expect to lose. Gambling should be budgeted as an expense, just like going out for dinner, and not considered a way to make money".[1]
Anyway, this kind of thing happens to me a lot of times.  It was so good playing with minimal bet but once I raise my bet, I started getting a red streak until I exhausted my fund.

Btw, here are some new release slots from their respective provider :

R.Franco Digital? Never heard about this provider before, is it available in most crypto casinos?
Let me know if there is a crypto casino where I can try this game for real or perhaps you can share some images of your gameplay if you have tried it.
Just curious since it is my first time to know this game provider, I cant check the link as it seems it is blocked by my ISP.

Sorry for the late reply, as you can see the game Vacuum Buster is available to players in Spain, and Colombia, as well as players with access to markets with Malta Gaming Authority licenses. I have not played the game in any crypto casino but they have a demo site^[1] for this game.  You can try it out if your ISP does not forbid access to it.

This is how the game looks...

That's why I could not find this provider when I tried to search it in more than 10 different crypto casinos.
Too bad it is not available in crypto casinos as it is limited to some specific countries only.
I dont like to play with demo mode, I always prefer to play it with real money if I'm interested in any slot game.
Based on the attached image, there is a logo/symbol of Free Spins, is that a buy bonus feature?

This is something that can happen in a wrong way when you lose money like this, first sometimes we get excited when we see that we are winning in the slots, we feel that we are going to conquer the world with it, we have a winning streak in the slots and we insist that we have to win much more than the first batch, I think that's where the error lies, even if we play and there are more than 20 shots, I think we will lose, what I have learned is that in slots if we want to extract profits we must wait for the first profit and then if we get out, because otherwise we can lose everything. I know how that feeling is, but sometimes it is better to follow what I say, or simply allocate the money that we are willing to lose, if we lose then we lose and if we win then we take advantage, but more than that is not recommended.

[panjul07]

More than 2 weeks with no one share a nice win in slot games, are you guys having really bad result in slot games within the last 2 weeks like me? 
I lost more than around $750 within the last 2 weeks with no big win in slot games, that's why I did not share something till now.
No more funds to play slot games this month, so I have to take a rest for a while now to collect some more funds from +EV competition.
Pragmatic sucks, Hacksaw even worst, maybe I'll play other providers and play normal spins once I come back.

Looks like the world of slots is not good haha, I also haven't felt victory for a long time, last time I played also minus quite a lot. Yesterday I had a chat with @roycilik, he also said he was taking a break from playing, I don't know maybe because he was not healthy. it seems Roycilik was not because of a loss he took a break, lastly he shared his big win in the group.

Well we are all aware that we can't win all the time but the problem as you say is that lately we are not having those victories we used to have,I was playing yesterday my usual 100 usd session in Play n Go slot Swords and Holy Grail and although it kept me playing for so long,gave the bonus round but I did not witness a great x multiplier to my bet not in the normal game nor in the bonus,in fact the bonus looked like it was making fun of me because a lot of times gave just 0.30-0.45 dollars as profit from the bonus round.The game hit a couple of time during normal game play that x100 but not giving a winning combination.I ended up losing like 10 dollars in total so no problem.

Not good for most Indo gang I guess roycilik also had bad days recently with his favorite slots.
I'm now focusing in the contest of playbetr where I do not need to spend a lot of money but there is a great chance to make good profit from the rewards.
Once I received the reward, I'll back to play and test my luck whether I'll get better luck or my bad luck continues....
If my bad luck continues, I think I'll take a longer break.

Lucky enough you decided to quit when you lost $10, at least although we don't know if it will end well or bad, the money is already secured, considering that some early results showed negative results.

I've seen Playbetr contests results for last few weeks, and you're always the winner, look like there is no one can't beat your total spins so far. I myself have never played on playbetr, since I'm only playing at BK8.

It is an easy money competition, I can even say that it is a guaranteed profit competition especially there is extra reward for bitcointalk users.
In the last 2 rounds, I won more than $1,200 from the reward and I did not lose more than $300 while spinning.
Currently I'm leading the last round of the competition and hopefully I can win the 1st and 2nd prize again as the last 2 previous rounds.
I dont understand why not many players try to beat me while it is basically easy to do especially for those who have more money and better device as well as internet speed than me.

Are you playing with the minimum bet? What is its size (I don't often come across slots). For the sake of interest, I looked at your results here and in my opinion it is quite difficult to make 453 thousand spins in a week (and it seems to me expensive). If it's not a secret, what is the total average result of a weekly game? If you think theoretically, then with such a number of spins you should go strongly into the red.
