They're Indonesian, but never open to the public, privacy reasons? LOL

Yap I know that they are Indonesian like us but I have never seen them shared their win, at least the win as submitted for the competition. I do not think it is because of privacy since the result is announced publicly. I think it is just because they do not like to share it themselves like what you usually do or like what I used to do Obviously it is their own right to do so, but it would be nice if they can share it here in this thread.

Hey guys I would like to share with you a great article, it's not so much strategy based, but based on slots that has a lot to do with luck, in the bitcasino.io thread Karl posted some great gold information, and I think I should share it with everyone so that the information is given to the greatest number of people, sometimes we blind ourselves with the strategies when it is also important to know some criteria of luck and even the state of mind depends on everything, here I put them:

Article:  https://bitcasino.io/blog/tipshackstricks/luck-in-gambling

I recommend it to everyone so that they can have more information when playing, sometimes we don't know how to play or what criteria to take to make some plays, I hope it helps you as it has helped me.

LoL, it's sure a funny blog post, but not sure if it will help in any way
"wearing red", "blow dice," "crossing your finger" are just to make the game more fun. It has nothing to do with your luck, well, if you trust more in science.

They are not active in the forum except for posting contest entries, yeah it's understandable tho since there's no incentive to brag here except for the fun. Damn, I want to brag about my winning so badly...

That article as you say is more about superstitions rather than strategies,these are just things for people who are "weak" mentally in my opinion and they need something to boost their confidence.Sometime years ago when I was playing in physical casinos one guy hit the greatest jackpot at Play n Win slot and he told us he knew today he would have hit a big win because one white pigeon has entered his car for a few moments.We told him it was just plain luck that gave you the greatest jackpot yet he insisted it was not.

Personally I do not believe in any of these things except luck and that luck cannot be changed or manipulated in anyway.

The title of the article is "How to boost your luck in gambling", yes I have to agree that the article is for entertainment only because I believe luck is not something that we can control (increase it or decrease it).
However I also have to agree with few parts of the article but to no boost luck, more about how to gamble better such as:
- gamble when you are in a good mood
- Gamble at reputable places only and bet responsibly
Other parts are just about superstitions that some people may still believe while I dont believe it to be honest.

Well yes, it has a lot of superstitions, but taking into account how people think in Europe, in the USA, and in the Asian continent, they have very little reception for what it says in the article, but if you go south and towards South America you will find many people who do believe these things, and although it is only a fraction that emphasizes the supernatural, in itself, all kinds of information must be handled, it is known that luck is a helpful factor, but in a slot, I think that there you have to give yourself totally to luck because the strategy is very difficult for it to work.

Chants,supernatural beliefs or actions needed to be done first is something not really relevant because luck isn't something that could really be affected out by these things.

There are just people who do really believe much that these things could majorly affect on what they've been doing specially on dealing with gambling.

Slots is pure luck ones and considering the HE then you would likely to lose but if you are lucky enough then you could make profits.

Finally! Starlight Princess MAX-WIN (5,000x)

Watch the replay here: https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/hH1MoDAeJp
At the end, my winning was 10,000 IDR x 966x and instantly ended the round because of (over) max-win.

Still no luck with the freakin Sweet Bonanza, but will keep you updated

Great that you have reached it eventually, my best on this game is no more than 3000x IIRC and it was at the beginning after Pragmatic launched it.
After that, the game gave me no big wins (more than x1000).

Still no luck with the freakin Sweet Bonanza, but will keep you updated

Dont hope too much in Sweet Bonanza, do not even play it 
Better to play pragmatic games with x5000 max win as the chance seems to be bigger than those with 20k max win.
I'm sticky with Madame Destiny Megaways, 5 Lion Megaways, Fruit Party, Fruit Party 2 and Gate of Olympus.

Personally, I don't even believe in luck. Luck is just a way we explain certain unknown things to ourselves. It's all math and probability.

Finally! Starlight Princess MAX-WIN (5,000x)
At the end, my winning was 10,000 IDR x 966x and instantly ended the round because of (over) max-win.

Congratulations for your epic win.
What's the maximum win amount? Were you able to get 10k out or more?

Hahaha, it's challenging mate! I'm really curious about that game. I agree that the mentioned games are easier, but if we play with cheap IDR, we can still play the likes of Sweet Bonanza without breaking our wallet.

Congratulations for your epic win.

Thanks mate.
The maximum winning amount is 50x bonus buy, or 5000x normal spin.
I did IDR 100k bonus buy, so I received only 50 x IDR 100k = IDR 5 Million. As seen on the last spin, I should've received more than IDR 10 Million, but max-win is a max-win

The case with this person can be explained both by the law of large numbers (many are waiting for a big win and believe in omens, so for some this expectation and omen "work") and psychology (at first he won and then began to look in his head for a reason, if not for the dove, he would have remembered something else).

You are right, however the article is very interesting because it suggests that many people here in the forum are not skeptical about these things of beliefs, as I said before, I know many who do raffles for cars, houses and go where people who supposedly does things with spirits and tobaccos asking them not to allow the winning number to come out so that they continue to make more profits, but based on what you say, this is apart from luck, taking into account a random factor, and really slots like that Since you can lose, you can also have that unique luck factor to give a good profit, those that are sometimes published on some platforms that are millionaire profits.

Congratulations
A few hours ago I tried with a IDR 25 deposit because I was curious about what you shared, with the smallest bet of 0.2 the result was pretty good, I managed to win IDR 50, only when I increased it to buy 40 free spins, I didn't profit, it was loss. ha ha. 

May i know, Would you prefer to buy free spins than increase normal bet to get chance the free spins feature? if we use additional bets to increase the chance of getting free spins, this is also have small chance. because I didn't have a balance, so I tried it on the demo, several times I waited quite a long, and it ended losing more money than buying free spins.

[mu_enrico]

Yo @masulum, welcome to the slots addict club! I believe this is the first time you post here.

May i know, Would you prefer to buy free spins than increase normal bet to get chance the free spins feature? if we use additional bets to increase the chance of getting free spins, this is also have small chance. because I didn't have a balance, so I tried it on the demo, several times I waited quite a long, and it ended losing more money than buying free spins.

It depends mate, if I play with USD, meaning $0.2 - $0.25 minimum bet (let's say for Starlight), I will do normal spins because buy free spins cost $20, which will rekt your balance pretty quick.

If I play with IDR, meaning dirt cheap IDR 200 minimum bet, I will do bonus buy because it will cost only IDR 20k That's the power of bigger balance in slots game. I'd do IDR 60k bonus buy, and increase it to maximum IDR 100k. Keep in mind, this is my way of getting maximum entertainment out of slots game, not to get crazy sensational win.

Try at least 15 x IDR 20k = IDR 300K budget and keep buying IDR 20k bonus. You should notice it will last quite long, and the chance of being busted is pretty slim as long as you don't try to get a huge profit. If you tired/bored already, just keep the balance (or withdraw) and use it another day.

If you want to play normal spin, deposit at least $50 and find games that have $0.1 minimum bet. 500 spins should have a pretty good chance to trigger the bonus round, and it will last quite long if you don't use fast/turbo spins. Yes, you can still play normal spins with IDR, but it will only waste your time.

Do both is better, I mean combination between normal spins and buy feature. What I used to do first is buy 1-2 free spins and look at the result, if the result is bad then I'll try 100-200 spins. If I get no fs in that 200 spins, I'll back to buy 2-3 free spins. If the result is still bad, it means I have to change to game.  Obviously, it is preferences but I'm not recommending anyone to do too many buy bonus in a row.

I was also trying this yesterday night from No Limit City in their game Bushido Ways and with a bet of 0.20 they had a buy in feature of 150 EUR for the Geisha spins,I tried it a couple of times but yet it never made me more than 150 EUR in those 9 spins.I agree to do both but in games with the free spins fall often on the reel this way we will have our opportunities to make some money and that is why Play n Go slots are my all time favorite,in most of their games with 100-200 spins it is guaranteed that you get a bonus round from the game no matter if the result may be bad from those spins of the bonus round.

That's not a good test though, I mean you could be lucky in free spins but not when you buy more spins and vice versa but that one is hard to prove since they might not move to that point because they start at an unlucky streak. You might find some slots that bait you into playing more by letting win consecutive times at a lower prize money and then when you move to higher prizes then that's when they start taking profit. Just be careful playing slots as that is the game that favors the house more.

Yo @masulum, welcome to the slots addict club! I believe this is the first time you post here.

-snip-

That's right, this is my first time posting here, because I'm interested in the big win story you posted 

Thank you for sharing the strategy for playing what you did. Maybe this can be a strategy if I try this game again another time. To be sure, my brother is very addicted to this game, but not in crypto, just slots games on cellphones. I'm not interested on that game, even though my brother told me that he had won big amount, it just seemed like he lost after that ahaha..

I'm gave up with Sweaty  Bonanza since some time ago and I promised myself to not open that game anymore.
I wont even do it with 20k IDR buy bonus but I hope you'll find the miracle in this game soon.
Getting x5000 in this game will be something extraordinary, so kindly inform us once you are lucky enough to get it. 
The only way to win big in this game is when there are winning with x100 multiplier and with the highest winning symbol.
