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

[mu_enrico]

I played few times on Roobet and for now puzzle slots are the most fun for me because new pieces keep coming.. it's like a freespin because I can keep winning with the same initial bet..

Ever try Tales of Dr. Dolittle by Quickspin? The reels will continue to spin if the symbol matches, and then it will become sticky and spin again. Uh, it is difficult to describe... better try it

Although released in end of 2019 it is almos the same.The bonus frequency haven’t changed at all and remain in what I call “rarely falls on the reels” most of our gameplay sessions.However a fun fact is that when the bonus round comes in such games always gives you a decent amount of money to win.In slots where bonus frequency is higher most of the time the bonus round gives only pennies and it give you a false sense of feeling good.

You should check the volatility and the max win before you play the game mate so that you can adjust your "goal" accordingly.
When the winning is more frequent, players can bet higher. Winning 1000x with $0.1 bet is equal to winning 100x with $1 bet.

I tried it in fun mode to understand the concept because $0,25 is too much for me I prefer the $0,10 slots.. Yes, this model is better than the traditional ones..

Now I'm giving a try to this top-20 played list..

I got 7 on my first try..

And a bonus on my 3rd:

For those who are looking for Slot Games reviews, you may try to visit https://www.btcgosu.com/bitcoin-game-reviews/slots/
The number of reviewed slot is indeed still low compared to the number of all available slots in this gambling industry.
But what is provided by BTCGOSU is a good review with many information about the slot game that you may not find in other review slot sites.

I have played Piggy Riches Megaways a month ago and had a great experience. Got a 30x shot through some scatters as it got me some free spins. But can't forget to mention that it took me more than 50 spins with the same minimum bet and I just won nearly half of the bet amount in just 8-10 bets, which ended me up in some loss but not too much. I believe the 777 (3 reel) slots are much better as the game usually stops immediately when tapped upon, compared to which this Piggy Riches game was slow when tried to stop to get instant results.

[mu_enrico]

I tried it in fun mode

Did you try Bronco in fun mode as well? I think they made it easier in fun mode (just my belief). Look what I got:


So many wilds!!

BTCGOSU

Two thumbs up for the effort, but I don't think slots players would bother read reviews. They need data (RTP, max win, volatility) and go and try the game.

Some suggestions: since there are more than 1,000 titles, if you post once a day, you guys would need about three years to complete the review. It would be best to prioritize the top-20/100 and newest titles. You guys also compete with slotcatalog.com, which already have a complete database.

Piggy Riches Megaways

Yeah it has excellent gameplay, sadly the RTP is bad: 95.71%, 94.72%, 92.67%, 90.71% (non-jackpot)
Since it has four RTP variants (different across casinos), you should check first which one you use. If the casino use 95.71% RTP, then it's not too bad if you really like the game.

Real mode.. Yesterday I decided to burn some money It makes sense, RTP should be 100% in fun mode..

Look what I got: -snip-

Damn! 14? and I happy with 7

Despite the effort, the website should receive some clicks from Google searches and it should be worth it..

Top-20 monthly slots ranking (July 2020):

I tried some yesterday, some are really crappy, like eye of horus, millionaire, etc..

The outstanding slot on this list is Cash Noire from Netent which really caught my attention.. What a beautiful game!

Not sure about that since the campaign was paused, hope they will be back stronger though!

Yep, lots of games on the list are old. Perhaps once you love a particular game, it's difficult to move to other games.

The outstanding slot on this list is Cash Noire from Netent which really caught my attention.. What a beautiful game!

Yeah, it was released on June 24th, 2020. Still pretty fresh! Lot's of new titles are puzzle or megaways setup, like Street Fighter 2, Gonzo's Quest Megaways, The Dog House Megaways (soon). I guess users like to see more action!

You have brought me to this game
Sir please Sir tell me, what should I do to get out of this game addiction? :v

Just trying my luck with a small buck

[mu_enrico]

Sir please Sir tell me, what should I do to get out of this game addiction? :v

It's FUN, right?! Here's what you should do:

1. Stop PM-ing me your wins , it made me wanted to deposit and play too!
2. If you never get REKT so bad, then wait for that moment, and you will be a better man;
3. If you were somehow lucky, remember that it will not last that long;
4. When you have no spare money to play, don't borrow money (or sell your stuff) to play, simply use the infinite fun balance.

I might create a thread about this, at the moment, please tell your wife about your problem, it helps most of the time. LuL

Do you stop betting after hitting a big multiplier? Go to another slot? Do you have any tips related to this?

[mu_enrico]

In theory, the probability of hitting a big multiplier in the next spin will stay the same. However, I often got busted if I continue to play the same game. On a rare occasion, however, I re-trigger free-spins (feature) in less than ten spins*.

After hitting a big multiplier, you can (1) withdraw (most desirable behavior), (2) play like ten more spins in the same game, or (3) play other games. The mantra is "less (spin) is more (desirable)."

1. Currently, you're the only one of my friend who has known about slots, so this is impossible :v
2. I don't want anything bad as long as I play the slots, meh
3. It's not always profitable when you move to other gambling platforms
4. I'll ask you :v

Exactly, I have used this strategy myself. Regarding the number 2, you can based it like that, or you can look at your money, for example, after hitting a massive jackpot, and like you have $1000 money, I will tend to play like $50-$100, if I don't hit the bonus no more, (my luck has run out). Better move on the next slots and see hot it goes. Or it the bonus re triggers look at where you money after the bonus round, if it is above $1000 then you can play that extra money again.

Are there any of you who play slots while paying attention about Live RTP?
interesting for me, in one of the gambling platforms that provides live RTP data: 24-hour, weekly and monthly
IMO this can be used as a parameter to select a game before playing, if the RTP has a very high increase it's better to avoid it, that means there are already players who have had big wins.

But yeah, it all depends on your luck :v

Oh wow 584x! Don't push your luck mate as it can go south pretty quick

I have a few nice suggestion for you:
- Legacy of Dead (96.58% - High);
- Riddle Reels: a Case of Riches (96.22% - Medium);
- Blinged (96.25% - Medium);
- Back to Venus (97.07% - Medium);*
- Quest to the West (97.53% - Medium).*

*These two Betsoft games have great gameplay, especially Back to Venus, on par or perhaps better than Tomb of Nefertiti.

Well, I did it and still win a nice multiplier there.
If you worry about it, you can always play in a different casino

Anyways, welcome to the slots addict club!

I am one that pays attention to the 24h,weekly and monthly Rtp.I have noticed that when the Rtp in the last 24h has been high I was able to see a lot of bonus rounds and I have won money which in theory I shouldn’t have.I think the Rtp doesn’t mean a lot and is th algorithm of the software which decides if we will win or not during our session of gameplay.

[roycilik]

No no... I want to go West to find.....

Added

Legacy of Dead, I've tried this one and not too bad
Looks like you forgot to add Win-a-Beest (RTP 96.12%), or you have a bad experience on this game :v
*turn down the volume while playing this game hahahaa

If you worry about it, you can always play in a different casino

It doesn't work for me

I think the Rtp doesn’t mean a lot and is th algorithm of the software which decides if we will win or not during our session of gameplay.

Hmmmm...
Yeah I agree, the algorithm of the software that decides will win or not
but, have you ever tried playing when the RTP has risen above 200%? I wish you have a lot of luck :v

Everyone has their own tricks when playing slots

[mu_enrico]

Which one? Theoretical or live? If about live RTP, then it will fluctuate based on the volatility (variance) and how many spins performed. Just ignore this since the data from one casino cannot represent data from all casinos (population). Perhaps at Casino A, the live RTP for Slot A is 150%. It doesn't mean that the next player will get rekt because maybe, on average, the live RTP (population) is 80%, so there is plenty room to bounce back (or more wins).

If about theoretical RTP, well, if you are a casual slot player, then you might not notice the difference, but for slot addicts, it means a lot since they play more frequent to the point that they can tell if the exact same game has been "gamed" in some casinos, or not.

Looks like you forgot to add Win-a-Beest (RTP 96.12%), or you have a bad experience on this game :v

Lol, a crappy game and just a waste of time. At least for me, it is a disappointing new release.

Oh, by the way, even if I got busted for trying a particular game, I'd still rate it high if the game has nice gameplay, graphic, music, etc. *cough* White Rabbit.

I've been playing for a lot of casino lately and most of them have bonus of free rolls in slots but honestly I didn't know how the game works I just play it and I'm not quite sure how did I won. I thought all the slots are the same well this is informative thanks for the information.
