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

[masulum]

I'm very grateful, and I'm lucky to have this advice. Honestly, the first time I played starlight, I lost quite a lot for a beginner player, LOL

Emotions, thirst for victory when I lose, thirst for big wins when I win, until it's all gone. Lucky for me, after max-win loss and and the last 2 days of wins, I almost cover the loss. I feel like I have problems with emotions and control when I lose at gambling, It happens before, when I played dice at Freebit, but at that time I could control it, compared to yesterday when I played starlight, it was really different, I deposited few times in one night.

today the initial was gone, the real challenge is coming

I don't play with IDR since there's no reputable casino available, only local casino with bank transfer deposit (WTF) and now at least I can play comfortably on BK8 or Stake.

Yes now we have 2 better alternative than local fiat casino that we do not know how reliable they are. Coming up to the payment method, local casinos are expanding their services since few years ago by adding deposit/withdraw via some other methods such as Dana, Gopay, Mobile recharge (pulsa), etc. Probably sooner or later they will also start to accept crypto as one of the payment method like bk8.

The dopamine you get from slots cannot be compared with other games. It is called "the crack cocaine of gambling" for that reason. That's why old timers here are very cautious of the negative effect of slots, thus you should do it in moderation.

Yeah, I know we can use e-cash wallets, but it is pretty much the same as bank transfer as your identity is exposed. Hopefully more and more local casinos support cryptocurrency. The more options available, the better it is for players

As a new slots player, It can be said if I really "addicted" already, because when I have free time, I always want to go to open pragmatic, haha. however, luckily, I do by transferring the money I had into cash so that it was difficult for me to make a deposit. I'm trying to follow the tips you gave, because it really useful for me, who almost always wants to play both winning and losing.

I made a post about this a couple months ago and asked if there was any sort of strategy that people here take when they are playing slots and I got mostly that there is nothing you can do other than play a game of chance, so it’s nice seeing a break down like this. For me I like to play whatever seems easiest, for whatever reason I’ve had the best luck on slots of that type.

It would be strange to see a different result for obvious reasons: if there were strategies that allowed you to play for profit, then hardly anyone would talk about them. And even if someone blabbed out of vanity or for some other reason, this strategy would quickly stop working as appropriate changes would be made to the casino software.

The OP himself share some strategies to play slot games, did you miss it?
Of course the strategy is not about how to win in slot games but more about how to play slots games responsibly and effectively.
If you are looking for strategies to win in slot game, I would say there is no such strategy just like in other games of chance.

I thought no one will be lucky enough to hit the max multiplier, in fact there are several users hit 22,500x already in Stake.
I'll try this game later today with my weekly bonus, unfortunately there is no buy feature in this game. 
I used to get bored easily when playing normal spins but get no free spins after few hundred spins.

Same with you will add this game to my playlist too after weekly bonus usually new games provide more opportunities
My luck increases if I carry a smaller bankroll like the $25 post-monthly bonus. I managed to withdraw about $800
We just have to wait and see how this weekly bonus brings luck again or not

We are discussing different slots we like here,their gameplay mechanisms,bonuses how often they fall on the reels,what game has more RTP and has more chances to win in theory and these sort of things.No one can win consistently in slot machines as they are programmed that in the long run they to give profits to the operator/casino owners.We like slots here because only by playing slots you can become rich in a just a second if you hit the jackpot.

No luck for me, I've just played this game and spent more than 300 spins without single free spin
Will try it again later once I received the reward from playbetr/betcoin contest.
It is always like this, whenever roycilik shared a nice win on new game, I get the opposite.
Surprisingly, if I am the one who shared it first, he will get better result than me LOL.

really bad for me playing the game today, I won't to stop the game because not hitting my target. actually I have won 3Mil IDR from sweet bonanza, because i have a target for 4m, I lose it and just have 1m left really-really bad, I can't control my self when i see big win in a row. starting from 400k, actually i still have profit with 1m, but the bad thing why i must put win target, since this is not crypto trading, LOL

bad strategy that i have 😂

I think you are right, part of the case for having a strategy to play slots includes the psychologic aspects and knowing yourself well enough to enjoy the game fully and get the "up-push" without then getting the hangover if things are going not going well enough. This is also a strategy, but not as much intended to always win but rather to make sure that you always have fun.

Same here I played on 2 different sites and all lost it was fine at first when i started in sweet bonanza but when moving to Starlight Princess everything is messed up
62 times buy feature 7 ROI and 55 lose this is really bad for a provider like pragmatic the difficulty level is like Hacksaw Gaming even though the return is low
I have blocked Starlight Princess from my future games list I'm bored

In gambling, it is better if the target is in a form of profit instead of in a form of multiplier. Good thing that you realize your mistake so you wont repeat it again later. Targeting for multiplier is usually used by most players when there is multiplier contest, but for regular playing it is better skip that target. Another good thing is that you did not lose your initial bankroll, but you lose some of what you have won only.

I won and lost just still at Starlight and Sweet Bonanza. I like the multiplier method in starlight, so when we have a number of multipliers we obtained, the greater the potential profit. Whereas in the sweet bonanza, we only hope for a big multiplier bomb every time it rolls. however, so far it is the sweet bonanza that provides greater profits than Starlight for me, but starlight is still my favorite game.

yeah, i think i need to stop to do some target again, just make a withdraw as soon as get profits. Even though it was only less than 10% of the target at that time, and I also started to raise my bets several times when I lost, I couldn't control the emotion of winning when I lost, because I wanted to achieve that target, until I stopped when I felt my gambling activity was over because its will be more give me bad results.

Anyone tried the newest Pragmatic Play games (Exclusive collaboration with Stake) namely Wild Beach Party? Looking at how the game works, it looks similar to Fruit Party 2 where the multiplier comes and increase randomly (up to 256x in normal spins and up to 729x in free spins). The max multiplier is x5,000 with RTP 96.53%, buy bonus feature is also available and we can play it as cheap as 200IDR per pet or 20k IDR for buy bonus.

Kindly post your best multiplier here mate: Sweet Bonanza: The #1 Pragmatic Play Slots, What's Your Opinion? I also play this game a lot every month but I can't even get 1,000x multiplier, while its max-win is x20k.

Yep, it's like FP2, but sexier
I haven't spent significant time there since I haven't moved on from Sweet Bonanza and Starlight, perhaps a few months later I'll dig into this game.

For no reason, I love this slot maybe Fruit party slots have dried my balance recently. 5000x max multiplier is classic Pragmatic limit, Starz Megaways also has potential with max 10kx multi.
BTW, the max potential can happen during base spins like in Fruit Party old version. Imagine getting 16 apples on base spin and few single multipliers will lead to max win. Same is true for second version of Fruit Party.
Unfortunately, Pragmatic keep limiting the potential of max win around 5k or 10k multis.
