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

[panjul07]

I’m curious if there’s a slot provider that use an open source code to verifying if they are offering probably fair game.

Yes there is at least one provider namely Bgaming, you can check it on the other thread by mu_enrico for the provably fair slot games.

Just kidding anyway, this one has a high live RTP of 103.46% and yet six wilds failed to hit the 42 symbols in order to get to the Other World round.  Such a lucky day.

Be careful when you are looking at the live RTP, it can be a huge RTP (even hundreds percent) but you need to make sure that you play it on the right time.
What I mean in the right time is that the live RTP is still on moving up moment, because if you see a huge RTP but it is on the moving down moment then high likely your result will not be good.

There is a new member in the family of Gates of Olympus. After the success of Gates of Olympus, Pragmatic released Starlight Princes, some time ago they also released Starlight Christmas and recently they have just released Gates of Gatotkaca. Indonesian gamblers must be very familiar with this name "Gatotkaca", one of puppet characters that very popular because of his strength, he is also one character in Mobile Legend game if I'm not mistaken since I'm not Mobile Legend gamer. Probably Pragmatic released it with Gatotkaca because Gates of Olympus is very popular in Indonesia, played by so many players and I have ever seen in Tiktok where someone paint his car full of Gates of Olympus logo. Here is how the Gates of Gatotkaca looks like:

Lol, fuck me dude ~XD.

This mean, we can prove the increase user who are playing "Slot" from "Indonesia" because the last few years especially (1-2 years) the promoted of gambling in Indonesia is getting crazy. Our people already brave play slot in public, in other side feel sad.

As you know, Gambling Addiction is gonna increase ~XD

[mu_enrico]

they have just released Gates of Gatotkaca

Seriously, where? I can't find the mentioned slots on Pragmatic Play's official website, and it's not currently planned for upcoming releases as well...
Probably it's just a fan-made artwork?

But I did try Starlight Christmas, and it's not that good... The music is "forced" and the scatter symbol is strange. But yeah, It can be an alternative if you are bored with Gates of Olympus/Starlight Princess. I only hoped that they rework the art more seriously.

Our people already brave play slot in public

Yea, the game resonated with the people. It won't be a problem if they have the "slots knowledge."
We should educate more about RTP and casinos' reputations so that many won't fall victim to scammers.

Very interesting reading people’s thoughts about slot machines and how to try and beat the system. I’m sure there must be some merit to things being discussed but if it were possible to beat the house I think it would be more well known. The truth is that slots are controlled by the house and they can all be set at different payout levels. In the end though, the simple truth is that the house always wins.

GatotKaca wth! LOL.  yeah, he is one of the popular tanks of Mobile Legend because of his versatility and damage-absorbing feature that can be converted to additional damage to his attack and a rare INT-type tank.  I wonder what comes to mind of the slot provider in making GatotKaca a feature of their slots?  Am I seeing a Mobile legend character series of slots from Pragmatic Play?

I'm not really sure if it is already released publicly or not but I saw it in Bitcasino live rtp page and it is tagged as new game there. I tried to login my bitcasino account to find the game but unfortunately I cant find it, I have no idea why it is not available see the game again in the game list as well as in the live rtp page. If it is a fan-made artwork, I dont think bitcasino will list it in their live rtp page few days ago. Here is the proof that I found it in bitcasino live rtp page:



I can find some youtube videos about this game as well as some article about this Gates of Gatot Kaca https://www.demoslot.com/gates-of-gatot-kaca-slot.html

I tried the demo game and the sound effect is quite annoying, I don't know if I am the only one thinking that way.  The game animation isn't as smooth as the original Gate of Olympus and the graphical presentation isn't that attracting too.  I don't know the reason why Pragmatic Play loves replicating their games with just some graphic modification.  are they running out of idea on a slot games?

Bitcasino

Confirmed, I tried the game there. If you can't see it, probably it's country restricted (use VPN, #cough).
The weird thing is the game isn't listed on Pragmatic Play's official website, so I couldn't test the bonus round (via bonus buy).
Wasted 1 hour of normal spin on bitcasino without any free spins... sad...

True, this is bad unlike Starlight Princess (not the Christmas edition). The music tastes like Chinese IMO, while Gatot Kaca should be Indian based.
I don't mind the same mechanic - different theme slots as long as the quality is good (Starlight is one example).
But this game is just bad.

[masulum]

Am I seeing a Mobile legend character series of slots from Pragmatic Play?

From the design, yes it very similar with Gatot Kaca on Mobile legends, but there is some different accessories between PP & ML characters. Here is original design from MLBB.


^{Source: https://www.wattpad.com/672605580-mobile-legends-characters-skins-gatotkaca}

the hands on the PP don't have accessories like iron fists, in terms of design we can say "similar" when it comes to copyright, I don't really understand, but if there are differences some of "local" designer can say "get inspired" which can't be called a copycat. LOL

I dont care about music and sound effect in slot game to be honest because anytime I play slot, I turned all the music/sound off. I would prefer to play slot game silently and turn my own favorite music on. The reason of replication, no one knows except Pragmatic but we can guess ofc. In my opinion they keep on replicating their old game is due to its popularity. As we can see, Pragmatic did not replicate their old game which are not that popular. Most of their replicated games are popular slot such as Fruit Party, Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, Gems Bonanza, etc.

I can't help but compare because this kind of game has its predecessor, the Gate of Olympus and Starlight Princess.  When a new game resembling the existing game is released, we cannot help but compare the two and hope to see a better version on the latest one and get disappointed when it is subpar to the existing one.  Just citing my observation and does not intend to degrade the game.

On the contrary, it is a good thing to have variation of the same mechanics, at least we can play multiple games making us to not stay on the same game for too long because that is when the slots starts eating our bankroll.

[mu_enrico]

If you think about it, slot games have only a few grid setups, such as 3x3, 5x3, etc., and there are hundreds of titles launched each year. So yeah, there will be titles with the same mechanics but different themes. All providers did it. I'll give a few examples:

Example 1:
- Book of Dead
- Legacy of Dead
- Rise of Merlin

Example 2:
- Rise of Olympus
- Moon Princess
- Moon Princess 3D (Christmas)
- Moon Princes 100

Example 3:
- all POP avatarUX (yggdrasil) games

So not a big deal if you are here long enough

How are you slot addicts? Its been long time with no share of nice win in slot games, whats wrong?
Are you all having really bad luck in slot games since the New Year like me LOL?
After I hit a max payout in Fruit Party some time ago, everything seems to be worst because I hit no more good multiplier.
I participated in livecasino multiplier contest week ago and my best was 400x only, I hit it even with the double feature in play n go games.
Means that if I did not use double feature, my best multiplier was 200x only.

[irsykes]

a few days ago I got enough luck, only $ 62 capital can reach $ 532. this is just what i did. register with a new account with random games I almost play them all. so in my opinion every slot game has certain prizes that bring big prizes, if on the other hand slot games bring us drained money we have to move games or don't take too long with games that don't bring profits

Hey hey, nothing good since my last max win on Sugar Rush 😁
The struggle became real after that max win on low base bet, unfortunately.  Btw, you know why it is so hard to hit decent multi on slots after big wins. Playing on different casino or trying other options like live game shows or house games with provably fair can be alternatives btw. Even Zeus trolling nowadays😅

I did manage to win some good amount playing Moon Princess and Rise of Olympus 100 but posted it on the livecasino thread where I won the amount.  Here is the quote of the said winnings.

   a 1000x+ win on Rise of Olympus 100                      withdrew my winnings and played              Moon Princess and got another 500x+ win


Prior to that winnings, I have no luck playing Tome of Madness and Moon Princess 100, the bonus round is too aloof on that two games.  I lost 2/3 of my bankroll until I decided to take a break for an hour and play again which gives me a good result.  Winnings withdrawal is always smooth as always.  

And I did manage to make $10 bankroll to a $200+  bankroll last wednesday, but lost them all when I got hooked on the rise of Olympus 100 with 4x my usual bet hoping to get into the bonus round but the slot never allowed me T_T.

At least you got to experience a max win, I hope to experience a max win too.

Damn that huge multipliers flew away just like our dream to become rich lol
Thanks mate for the entertainment! Much appreciated.

Rise of Olympus 100 but posted it on the livecasino thread where I won the amount.  Here is the quote of the said winnings.

Hmm.. following moon princess 100 with the remake! I think I'll try it in the next play session since no good results from Sweet Bonanza and Gatotkaca

Play N' Go is quite generous to me this January,  I believe I won over $1.5k+ in that game this month alone with just a mere bankroll of around $60  as initial.  The timing of winnings is quite good because of the previous months overspending in the holiday season that left me with debt, now I had paid those debts with the winnings I made this month.

Pragmatic oftentimes gives shitty results but if they wanted you to win, you will win big.  I have observed it while watching several streamers on youtube since their favorite slots is either Pragmatic, Hacksaw, or Nolimit city due to their bonus buy-ins.

Anyone here using the reverse RTP hunt. I read this online that some user having a good profit on playing with slot that has a low RTP. They are just hunting big win and avoid the small profit that common on high RTP games.

Anyone here using this and manage to have a good profit in the multiple trial for this strategy. Is this even better than buying bonus buy feature?
