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

[serjent05]

Glad to see you did great,I also won but a mere 30 dollars more than my signature campaign at my favorite slots of Play n Go provider.They kept bringing the bonus round,putting me near that x100 wild multiplier yet never bringing me there otherwise I would have hit it big.It is great when you win and have extra money to pay your duty or cores,I know that feeling,a couple of weeks ago when I won like 200 dollars hitting that x100 wild multiplier I immediately bought a new phone to my wife.

Are you talking about The Green Knight?  That one is also a good slot if ever you hit the bonus round and be able to reach the x100 wild and lock it on shield spin.  I also tried that slots but it seems not too friendly to me.  It took me 100 plus spins before hitting my first bonus round and I am not able to get a shield spin from all those free spins.

Well, I can congratulate you all that you were able to increase your payments, it looks very good, but so far I have such results in betting, it certainly looks like a complete failure.

Maybe it is not your luck day, I am sure winning streak will hit soon .  Remember the Law of Average..  It may sound a gamblers fallacy but often times it happens.

It can be The Green Knight as he said sometime ago that he wanted to play this game or it can be his favorite slot The Sword and The Grail.
These 2 slots are similar in terms of the payout mechanism as well as how the game works.
As what is being said so many times, there is no exact formula/calculation on when you will get the best result in slot games.
It may take hundreds spin, thousands spin or it may take few spins only depending on our luck.
Anyway congrats on your win, but I'm not sure why did you choose IDR while playing Play n Go games.
IMO you will get cheaper min bet if you use USD in Play n Go games.

Yeah I remember it now, The Sword and The Grail have almost the same mechanics except the first one needs to accumulate a sword in order to open the multiplier while the latter just need to spin and if 2 shield is not secured, then the player missed th 5 free spins of that multiplier.  I think the Green Knight is much better in terms of getting the 100 xmultiplier spin.

True that but I just feel uncomfortable playing The Green Knight, probably just my intuition that I need more than a normal number of spin to get to the bonus round.

Anyway congrats on your win, but I'm not sure why did you choose IDR while playing Play n Go games.
IMO you will get cheaper min bet if you use USD in Play n Go games.

Thanks, I chose IDR because of the huge number displayed on the screen and nothing else.

Few days ago is become my best winning while playing slots, just make a deposit less than $20, i manage to win $600, the game I'm playing for is Qilin ways from PGsoft. This is the best winning i ever made so far. But, from a best winning memory turn out become the bad day. Today I used my winning money to playing again, and as usual, I can't control myself when lose, so in total I lose $450. only 150 left from my win. Well nothing to lose, since that money from win. But, if I remember it, little bit regret because I always made a same mistake, and never learn.

This is so cool from $20 to $600 which is 30 times your initial bankroll.  Congratulations on that win.

Well, as they say, every day isn't a sunny day, it looks like you push your luck to the limit, and it snapped making you lose $450 of the $600 winnings.

I have a habit of putting funds to vault the amount I am withdrawing whenever I win.  When my winning hits it threshold limit, I often set aside 50% of the amount to the vault and continue to play until I ran out of bankroll or meet my winning threshold again.   When my bankroll depletes, I end up my session withdrawing any fund I put into the vault.

Turning $20 to $600 with slot is a big luck, it reminds me the past moment when I turned few tens buck into few thousands buck in duelbits when there was a contest called by Deposit Race. I have never heard about the mentioned game you play, how good is this game? Did you play normal spins or buy feature that gave you that nice win?

Very normal and common situation when we are in winning moment. It will tease us to play more and more because we think that we are in profit and we think that we may get more profit . I was in even worse situation in the past when turned $200 bucks into $2k+ but ended with lost it all after few hours of resting LOL. Greed was our main enemy while gambling and it is hard to deal with our own greed.

Classic mistake, even though people already advised you to stop

I believe I only spent about IDR 750k after my last IDR 4 million win. Your weekly/monthly budget shouldn't change even if you have excess cash from winning, or you'll get busted pretty quick.

Sure thing!  Sorry about the not only slots promotion posted here.  I thought it was ok since slots are also required to meet the requirement of that 100B spins promotion of stake. Anyway it won't happen again.

Yes, this is a very extraordinary winning for me, because so far I have not reached that number. The original name of the game is The Ways of Qilin, but I like to call it Qilin ways, because it's easier to pronounce, Lol. That time, I won with normal spin. IDR10K bet, in the first 30 spins I won, $150, and getting free spinsand win around $350. I stopped when it reached $600. Just one day later, I played again and lost. ha ha.

Classic mistake, even though people already advised you to stop

Wishing to get another winm but losing, and getting hot to play until win, but you know how my playing style,

Where is the god of slot @roycilik, are you good mate or you are in the bad time of slot like me recently? 
I do not share any big winning for a while now as I'm in bad luck in slot but fortunately I'm good enough in other games so I do not lose much.
I guess I'll see your big win again soon as the duelbits slot contest is running up again.
A contest where you are always be the top winners, wish you luck for the contest and dont forget to share with us your big win.

Looks like he's been busy lately, I also rarely see him active on the forums, just a few posts made. But, usually if you mention him here, he will appear to share the winnings he got. Lucky enough you don't just play in slots, so if you win in traditional gambling, you can at least cover a bit or even more of the money you lost in slots. I don't like other gambling, at least guess the price of BTC on Freebit or some dice. LOL.

I tried to join the Duelbits Master Multiplier contest, but it looks like it isn't my lucky day today.  All my bonus spin only gives me max 50x wins worst is that some of the bonus spins don't connect as in 0 rewards LOL.  Not worth submitting since most of the participants might get a 500x+ multiplier.

Look at the duelbits multiplier contest below:

1st with an impressive 6822x hit - TwSeventh!
2nd with an equally impressive 6472.2x hit - roycilik!

Our indonesian slot master hit 6472x but it is not enough to take the 1st place in the contest with a 350x difference 
@roycilik, would you mind to share this 6472x with a screenshot here? I'm wondering which game you played.
But let me guess, it must be a game from Hacksaw or Relax Gaming.

The multiplier payout is greater than the competition reward,  I tried to join that Master Multiplier contest but was unsuccessful to cater high multiplier.

Yes please @roycilik, if replay is available kindly share that winning session.   I am so curious to see how you get that 6472x.

I played Swords and Holy Grail,yeah I know what you might think,for the thousand time but yes I cannot stop playing this game once a week which is all I gamble.I intentionally played with a higher bet because I wanted to finish early the session and so it was,the f*cking game does not give you not even once the bonus game when you play with higher bets compared to lower ones.I wanted to win big and in the shortest amount of time possible but the result is the complete opposite,0 money in the shortest amount of time.

We are seem to be in an unlucky period. I also went back to playing games that often gave me wins, Ways of Qilin, Dream Macau (PGS), Caishen and Wild Wet Win (SG). All the games I played today didn't give any wins at all. The expected free spins bonus only gives 50x of the base bet, after 2x the free spins obtained at Dream Macau, no free spins were obtained from the three games that I played. Don't want to be too pushy this time.

It proves that you are already addicted with this game since you can stay away from this game even if you get bad result continuously.
I have no idea why you keep playing this slot, do you have a special target to hit in this game and you will not stop until you hit the target?

The multiplier payout is greater than the competition reward,  I tried to join that Master Multiplier contest but was unsuccessful to cater high multiplier.

No doubt that the winning amount from the 6000X+ win is more than the reward, this is the best moment when you hit huge multiplier in multiplier contest.
The reward give you an additional amount for your winning/profit if you are in profit while hitting the huge multiplier.
In other case, reward give you something like lossback if you are still in negative after hitting the multiplier.

Swords and Holy Grail

This game is too difficult in my opinion since it has a 10,000x max-win. Moreover, it doesn't have the bonus buy feature. For comparison, I played hundreds or perhaps thousands of bonus buys on Starlight Princess (5,000x max-win) and only triggered max-win once and one ~4,000x win. Sword and Grail is the kind of game that you shouldn't waste your time seeking for a big multiplier because of its extreme volatility.

Oh, I often got <$1 from the feature/free spins. It further proves its "stupid" volatility.

I ROFLd so hard, it must be quite painful
But @roycilik's stamina is crazy, he still has all the time and energy to play (and to hunt multiplier) while doing his day job.

This is already considered as a gambling addiction. The moment you urge to bet continuously and if it became a habit, then it means that you have fallen into gambling addiction especially if you exceed beyond your limit. We can't deny the fact that slot is addictive mostly if you're overwhelmed and want to hit your target prize but that could only lead you to more losses. Setting a goal is fine but setting a limit would be wiser.

I have a target and I am not addicted,if I were addicted I would play everyday,the fact that I play max 100 dollars weekly which something I can afford to lose further shows that I have full control.My target is to hit that 100x multiplier in the bonus game,yes I know it happens very rarely but it happens and hopefully to get it by a base bet of 0.50-3 EUR,this way in those 5 spins with x100 multiplier my bet will be 50-300 and I hope that with such bet to hit the maximum prize which would be 15.000 EUR or the second best prize which would be 7500 EUR with the base bet of 3 and multiplier of 100.I know it takes time until I hit it,as I may as well never hit it but a sure thing is you don't get this type of wins in many other slot machines that is why I continue with this slot which is produced in August 2019,exactly 3 year old now.
