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

[swogerino]

I know I have said it several times that I will quit slots for good but trust me this time I am.I just wanted to play for fun about 50 dollars and I played in my favorite slot Green Knight from Play n Go but it made me mad because I was playing with 1 USD as bet and I got the bonus round and I only got the 2.5 USD you get from three green knights,not a single win in the five free spins,I think this is far more than enough than I can handle so mark my word now,you will never see me in this thread talking about how great a game is,this is my DEFINITE ending to slot machines and going back to just occasionally bet on sport betting only when big events like Champions League will be.

All of them with the lowest minimum bet ($0.2), you can refer to this post for my 4x win in a week. It is obvious that it was pure luck and I did not even expect to experience such nice win during that week. I'm not sure if bet amount does affect the game but I have to say that I did bigger bet for buy bonus in this game (several times $100 and few times $500) last year but the result were mostly dust.

Do you see any correlation between buying bonuses that pay literally nothing then doing spins with increased base bet?
Btw, buying bonuses is cheaper on IDR bets for Pragmatic slots, you can buy Gates of Olympus slot bonus as low as $1.5 on mentioned currency.

To be honest, it is rare for me to increase my base bet while playing normal spins so I have no idea if there is any correlation. I do prefer play with the same amount all the time when I play normal spins but some time I did bigger bet when it comes to buy bonus. I know there is a way to play cheaper, but it is available in few specific casinos only. When I hit my 4x max win, I played it in duelbits where there is no feature to change the currency so the only available currency is USD and the min bet is $0.2 or $20 for bonus buy.

From my experience there is correlation when you change the base bet,every time I have increased the bet,100% of the times soon after I have lost all of my balance,I don't know at which other providers this happen but for sure this is a sure thing in Play n Go provider.I am going to check and to see if maybe Stake vs Eddie Challenge this week is playing any of my favorite slots,I would love a challenge as last time when he played Green Knight it was a small multiplier of 359x which in this game if you play long enough and with a good balance chances are high you can overcome this number.

It usually takes over 200 spins to reach the desired multiplier on slot challenges included Stake vs Eddie and forum casino challenges, sometimes I hit big like over 500x but it rarely goes above 1000x. Increasing bet doesn't work good in my slot sessions, it keeps going without bonus and drain balance. Chances are good to increase on Pragmatic slots for me since I catch nice multipliers on fruit party 1&2 slots and watch this infinite spins on Fruit Party

I feel you pal.  I also had the same experience.  Hitting 3 scatters for the bonus round and all the bonus spins are dead spins.  The worst run I ever experienced is having 40+ dead spins on a 50 auto spin play on Moon Princess 100.  And I hope you are able to stop yourself from playing slots.  I know it is really hard especially when someone posts a new kind of slot machine from our favorite provider.

I can't agree more on this, those are a very beautiful pre-bonus round.

I gave up watching after 40 minutes and pre-bonus paying over 800x😁
Is this glitch, bug or what? Never seen such weird bonus ever,  have seen max spins on bonus round with retriggers but this one is completely another level.
Maybe Pragmatic is testing new max win script on base spins, who knows...

That's a crazy pre bonus round, so many winning spins before the real bonus round start. Never experienced such long pre-round bonus. I watched your replay but I'm not patient enough to wait until the end of the replay, so I watched few minutes only. How much is the total payout of this bonus round, did you hit max win?

Damn, I see it up to 100x from your base bet and it hasn't stopped. how lucky you are. Like bitinity, I didn't see it till end, because it take time too long waiting on the pre-bonus. There's no way to speed up videos so it's a bit boring because we're not the ones playing LOL. if we ourselves would be happy to see this. Well, Congratulations bro! Did you manage to get a big win from the free spins you got?

It was 4 hours long replay, you made the best decision not to watch the rest of the same pattern:D
The bonus round doesn't happen because the pre-bonus rounds pay max win on base spins
BTW, it was not my hit, just someone shared it on gambling groups so I decided to drop the link here..

Hahaha same here, I even pulled that tab to create a separate window from the main browser but still got tired of waiting for the bonus spin to trigger.  The tumble seems going in a loop if you noticed.  It looks like a glitch from the game.

So I was right that it will hit max bonus since the tumbles stock in an infinite loop.  I thought this win was yours and I was thinking like, what a lucky seleme pulling a spin like that.

I think this is yours.
this is crazy, 4 hours waiting for the reel to stop because of maxwin. With a long time like this, even if it's in my position, maybe I won't be that patient to wait for it. but from here the question that was in my mind finally got the answer. Because I think from normal spins there is no maxwin as happened to bonus spins. I never asked about this here, so i never know the real playing rules about maxwin.

I give up watching after 1 hour, luckily I also do other things while keeping my tab open...

Congratulations!

You can get max-win from normal spins, but IMO it's easier from bonus buy since 1 bonus buy will equal 100 normal spins.

I dont know what to say, but 4 hours of a single round in the game is something extraordinary and maybe insane.
Getting a 3 scatters which is supposed to have free spins but the free spins did not happen because it reach max win due to the crazy pre round.
If I'm one of Pragmatic guys, I'll give additional bonus for such rare case because I believe it happens rarely, perhaps something like 1 in a billion.
Coming up to max win in pragmatic play especially Fruit Party family and Gates of Olympus family, it is possible to hit max win without free spins.

Hahaha, I'm the one who share this one.

IMO the problem of the coding slot from Pragmatic is the max-win is always like a rigged situation. So, while we got that situation or keep hitting high multiplier like in Gates of Olympus we're know getting max-win. IDK why pragmatic can't solved this, since we all know gonna get max win (The fun situation is lost ~XD). They really need to fixed the coding, and take example from other provider like (No-Limit, etc) with crazy max win + unpredictable max win situation.

[masulum]

You can get max-win from normal spins, but IMO it's easier from bonus buy since 1 bonus buy will equal 100 normal spins.

I mean in normal spins there is no maxwin, so we can win as much as we can. But its wrong max-win is applied for normal and buy feature.

Yup, i have an experience with this, from fuit party and Gate of Olympus, just don't think its a max limit, because my misperseptions. (Explanations above)

[ryzaadit]

No no, in a normal spin you are getting the max win as well.

Max win is applied for a single spin + bonus buy on Pragmatic. Off course the different max win in normal spin & bonus buy, in-normal spin you're not gonna get a notification "reached the max win".

The difference for bonus buy your bonus section are gonna stop even still has some spin left, while in max-win normal spin there is nothing happened you just go to the next spin because is not a bonus.

[masulum]

@ryzaadit that's what made me not think that there was a max-win that was applied to normal spins before, because the max-win notification was only mentioned for bonus spins.

well, lately i find it difficult to win either normally or buy bonuses. Even though it's been a long time since I've played in PP, it doesn't change the results. no luck yet for me 🤣

There are youtube videos that show a max win on a single spin.  I always think that max win applies both to normal spins and bonus round, in terms of bonus rounds @ryzaadit is correct the computation of max spin includes normal winning + bonus round winnings since the bonus round is part of the normal spin that triggers it.

Check this 1 spin max win bonus on Gate of Olympus, I would be jumping if this happens to me lol.

Have you guys tried the new game from Pragmatic "Wild Hop and Drop"? The mechanism of this game looks similar to the game from Push Gaming "Fat Rabbit/Santa/Banker"



Tried it few times with buy bonus feature and my best result is only 800x from the base bet or 8x from the buy bonus cost. This game has 5,000x max win so I think it is a good choice to play if you are bored with Gates of Olympus, Fruit Party, or any other PP games with 5,000x max win. I'm not sure if this game is available in other casino since it is listed in Stake as an exclusive one. Maybe for now it is available in Stake only, but for sure it will be available in other casinos as well later.

I still don't have an account with another provider. Tried to register on Stake.com but I forgot my account and never re-registered till today. But, i'm Still waiting for some new games from BK8 from my favorite providers SG, PP and PGS that may already available on other provider. Although it is uncertain when the games that are not available on BK8 but already exist in several providers, so far I still feel comfortable with the promotion and ease of withdrawal on BK8. I will try the game in case available on BK8

I forgot last time I shared my winning, here:


About 550x, well not bad considering how unlucky I'm at the moment. 
Frozen Gems - PlaynGo, my favorite

I haven't tried that one, but It seems like the Juicy Fruit game. But it has 5,000x tho, so it shouldn't be as hard as JF.
AFAIK, it's not exclusive just Stake got the game before everyone else. It should be live on 22 Sept.

You just saved time skipping rest of replay time, 3 hours can be spend to build small balance and get similar max win in same slot since watching your replay is way more enjoyable 😁
Watched other replays shared on YouTube, really incredible and unexpected multis especially on Zeus dropping 500x red ball multi and that screen vibration feeling 🙂
