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

[ryzaadit]

-snip-

Even we are playing on medium/high volatility, but sometimes still not really lucky at all.

So, even you are playing on high/medium volatility if you got a bad section will really hard to get a high multiplier. Try maybe "Milky Ways" from NoLimit the volatility of this slot was medium so maybe can really lucky hits bonus section with a small spin.

I do not think it is about the minimum bet, I can play this game as low as Rp.1000 or even Rp. 200 on fiat local casino

Could you ask them to add a payment option with crypto? Lol
IDR 200 bet is really tempting, but the downside is that we have to do bank transfers to the pimp.

Can you please guide us how to find hot/cold slots? For example, this cold slots are cold for weeks or only in days or in some hours of a day? Realtime RTP checking looks confusing for me.

If you like Play'n GO slots you can access hot/cold slots here:
https://slotcatalog.com/en/Hot-Cold-Games

But be aware that this is complete superstition as the page states:

A common misperception among superstitious slot players is that slot machines are either hot or cold, depending on its recent payouts. The slots that have paid out more recently gets labelled as a “hot slot” and slot machines that have paid out little is labeled “cold slots”.

Alternatively, you can use bitcasino data:
https://bitcasino.io/live-rtp

Maybe you can list some of medium and high volatile slots which you play constantly or feeling lucky?

I spent like 50% of the time on slots that have high RTP or slots listed on OP, you can search from https://slotcatalog.com/en/The-Best-Slots and use this filter:
- video slots
- RTP 96.8 - 100
- volatility: med, med-high, high
- max win: 10,000x

However, my biggest win came from absurd slots like Rise of Merlin, Tombstone, Pirate's Plenty, and Eye of Horus Megaways. Therefore, it's fine if you occasionally visit absurd slots but never grind them.

So, even you are playing on high/medium volatility if you got a bad section will really hard to get a high multiplier.

To me, volatility means "grindability" lol, the higher the volatility, the higher the risk if you grind the slots. Try grind DOA2 for example, and count how many spins you need to get to the feature (bonus round), plus even if you trigger the feature, you can get like $5 instead of a huge payout.

Actually, I have spent more than $20 but looks like it was my unlucky day. Sometimes, the inside feeling leads me to bet more or increase the bet and it worths keeping spinning until the bonus round.

Try switching to another provider, or indeed have to stop for a few days (:

Tomb of Nefertiti was good but the winnings are limited to 3 re-spin in 10 free spin mood and wilds are not stuck, unlike other profitable slots.

In the past, this guy is a loyal fan of Tomb Of Nefertiti, but it looks like he rarely plays it now

Here is my record from Nolimit city (chips platform)

Until you got busted there, lol.

Sorry, not for now (:
Looks like I don't need to prove it in public :v

going back to stake :v

I have talked to the support last January IIRC, but seems that they are not attracted to expand the business into cryptocurrency.
Just for your information, I play on this site without bank account because there are some other payment methods like gopay, ovo and mobile recharge (telkomsel/XL)
About that low min bet, not all games has low min bet like Bronco Spirit. Most other games from Pragmatic has higher min bet, almost equal to the one with $.

The multiplier in the feature is unlimited, and you will be guaranteed one wild minimum. I think this game is more in the high volatility category instead of medium.

I still play this game a lot (for fun) since 0.2$ and high volatility combination is not good for my bankroll. If I play with real money, I do 10-20 spins with the hope of getting: free spins, or wild raiders, or curse of the Nefertiti. So much opportunity! But to grind this slot is very risky. I remember someone cries because of it. lol

~ nice info ~

Too bad, they didn't want to accept crypto because your phone number is still at risk even though you didn't do a wire transfer. Perhaps the safest way is top-up mobile phone balance (pulsa), but withdrawal is still a problem.

Anyway, have you checked the RTPs, and from what server the game load? Looks normal? I'm a bit skeptical about the local casino, you know, because of regulation and stuff.

[roycilik]

I remember someone cries because of it. lol

I have moved on and close the door with a good result hahaha

Looks like we need a vacation to another platform (:

[roycilik]

curse of the Nefertiti.

You must watch this replay (quite interesting and special): https://replay.nolimitcity.com/show/sitigobunewo
IMO, the Tomb of Nefertiti should be in the high volatility category, it's very difficult to get a Big win nor Free spins
and also the minimum bet doesn't suitable with the difficulty level, $0.1 is better

Yeah, I tasted that wilds months ago when Nefertiti was kind of hot (pays often). $0.1, or $0.15 should be better considering the volatility.
Anyway, I've lost too often in October, not about money, but about the game. I think I will decrease my playing time, not fun when your balance got depleted without a fight
Had some magical moment, but I still have this "not right" feeling.

You know that I won't let you do that :v

but I still have this "not right" feeling.

Move to another platform please

Personally I have sweared to God to stop playing slots this time and I am keeping my promise from almost one week.The slots are evil and they eat your blood is my conclusion and although I still dream of that multi million dollar jackpot I still won’t touch any slot ever.I guess it will be just a dream the jackpot as is for 99.999% of world population 😜.

LMAO, relax mate. You are not the only one doing that and keep broking promises every week
Every slot player should learn the art of controlling the urge, that is, try to remember we still have to pay for monthly expenses and bills.

Move to another platform please

It made no difference, lol!

Anyway, Return of the Dead™ (by Pragmatic) will be released soon (22 Oct). For the Book of Dead lovers, it might be appealing because it has a slightly higher RTP (96.71% according to slotcatalog.com). Meaning you will get rekt less often*.

*not that much

[DrG]

Ah the good old N-armed bandit. The highly explorative behavior is preferred up front and ends with highly exploitative finish. This is probably why those sites and sounds are so dopaminergic. The clacking of coins falling into your bucket.

If I'm committed to losing I prefer to do it slowly with 5 column three bar. This way if I'm up at any point and I realized I've made more than I should have I will be prompted to get out of my seat... only to return again the next day.

On the contrary as in my case, I'm started to come back to playing online slots again, but the same results, will win first and then get rekt later.  . So everyday is like a nightmare, part of me wanted to deposit again and play, while the other part is telling me to shut up and go to sleep. 

And since @roycilik posted that video, still remember my days playing slots in traditional casino and making huge win similar to book of Ra, - the Zues. Lmao. But I have control of myself now, setting limits and and having a win target and that's it, if I got to the target win, I will stop, if I lost everything, then better luck next time.  , no need to chase that loss.

Someone got rekt because of this

Strongly agree.... but sometimes it's hard to control this finger to stop pressing the spin button

[mu_enrico]

Someone got rekt because of this

I got 142x from a few spins yesterday

Anyway, what do you guys think about Money Train 1 & 2? It seems these are the most played game in the Duelbits (Relax Gaming) competition. Any good rekt? *confession is appreciated lol. Luckily I've known these games for a long time and not even trying to grind.

So I'm not alone for this slot, I can say that this Return of The Dead is the worst slot in the category of "Book" type slots.
I tried it with few hundred spins, got 1 time freespin only and the payout was not more than 25x
Even worst, it seems that it is harder to get a win on normal spin unlike the other similar "Book of..." slots.
It makes me think that bigger RTP does not always give me a favor or better result.

[swogerino]

I think no one of you have experienced the worst nightmare in slot machines yet, not in financial terms but in terms of spinning more than 600 spins without winning the bonus round at Swords and Holy Grail when usually the max spins before winning the bonus round is less than 300.This was my last experiment I was playing with minimum bet 0.10 Eur and lost about 60 Eur before the Swords fall on the screen and it joked around me by giving the 5 Kings a mere 5 Eur win.

I will never forget those 600 spins in my entire life and I have said many times I will quit,but now I don't have any reason to play anymore as in less than 1.5 hour it swallowed 60 Eur with a min bet at 0.10 Eur.My conclusion is now firm,slots are controlled by evil software and I suggest you stay away from them.

I believe most of us here has experienced such bad run in slot game. I had bad experience on some slot games like reactoonz 2 where I lost around $100 without reaching the Gargantoonz Mode. Other experience, I played Deadwood by No Limit City for few hundreds spins but get one free spin bonus only. What makes it worst was that the free spin bonus gave me nothing (not even $1 win). On the opposite site, I could get huge multiplier on some other slot games like what I've just experienced this week when I participated on duelbits multiplier contest. Its all about luck dude, play the game for fun only, dont force yourself to spin too much. Use your feeling, if you feel that a specific game is not giving you good result then better to try other game.

I don't know if I'm supposed to be sad or rolling on the floor laughing
Don't take slots too seriously mate, one day you will win big, but you will lose most of the time.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure you will be back. It's fun if you don't overspend.

By the way, try to join promotions because if you are lucky, you can get the slots winning prize plus the competition prize. This is the only way you can get a profit, even though your bankroll was zeroed.

I think you can do both , roll on the flour laughing because of my enormous stupidity and also be sad to know that a slot machine is controlled in an evil way.I have played the above slot hundred times and usually it give the bonus round in less than 100 spins.
I had swear to God but only played this time for the experiment which was play all the money with minimum bet and it didn't work.I am out of the slots and this time mark this post,you won't see me posting anymore of how big I won or lost as I have now no reason to.I believed before because of me winning most of the time by playing with minimum bet that this will happen infinitely,today I got proof I was wrong.
