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

[mu_enrico]

I have several experience earned $ 0 from the buy free spins

Pragmatic Play that gives you guarantee few percent back from what you spent for the bonus buy where it is impossible for you to get zero from the bonus buy.

Yeah, landed 4 scatters usually give you a small amount of money, even landed full (6) scatters give you 100x or so, but I think he meant "earns pennies" not $0 lol
Definitely is not a meaningful result

Anyway, do you notice the god gambler @roycilik rarely appears in this thread anymore?

I have been playing slots for more than 5 years

Can you give me a list of old games that were popular senpai? Usually, old games have better RTP. 5 years ago is it the Book of Dead era or older?

It's okay if you decide to take a few days off and then continue playing but this time, you really need to control yourself so you don't run out of money again like before. Maybe doing that can give you time to rest and forget about gambling for a while and when you want to go back to gambling again, your mind will be fresh and maybe luck will come to you this time. And as I see it, you get a decent win even with a small bet and that's okay. I also sometimes do as you do but often take a long break to forget about the previous loss.

Taking slot leave is important for a few days because of course so that the mind is fresh again, I always feel how when a losing streak occurs the mind becomes unconcentrated and even becomes emotional before the funds are drained out it would be nice to take time off and that is indeed my best way not to lose it a lot in slot games.

Of course, I enjoy small wins. I know it's difficult to get maximum wins at Sweet Bonanza, but with this win, at least the initial capital will return in full.
Stop again, I'm sure if you continue, the victory will run out.

I see there is no ELK provider on the list, and that one has become my favorite in the past weeks I will list the slots I enjoy from that provider.

-Tropicool
-Cluster Slide
-Nitropolis 2&3

In tropicool I get my biggest win, which was close to an x700, and my last bonus was on Cluster Slide, but that one was only an x50. I keep chasing the bonus in Nitropolis 3, it should hit soon.

Is there a way to know the odds of each one of these games?

It seems a bit hard to select a game with only having a look at the graphics of it, and not knowing the math behind them.

I'm probably missing something basic it seems.

That's what I do when I often experience defeats and not just ordinary defeats but experience consecutive defeats, which can sometimes make me remember those defeats. And only by taking a long break can you calm your emotions and forget about the defeat while doing other things.

But playing on Sweet Bonanza is a lot of fun as well as other slot games from Pragmatic Play and that's why I often play slot games from that provider. And after that rest, I can play and relax again and there is no burden. That also allows me to win even if it's not big.

If the result is you're still losing, it may be time for you to take a break and leave the casino site for a few days. Even if you are tempted to try your luck, refrain from depositing any more money. Maybe a week or two is good for you to rest. At least, that's what I do if I have a losing streak and it works well because when I play different slot games, I can get wins even though the amount is still less than the amount I lost before. But at least the money won was more than the minimum bet I used.

yes, I will be taking a few days off from playing slots because the budget for gambling is exhausted.
usually I have a budget for a week's worth of gambling. but if it hasn't even been a week, my budget has run out, I have to stop immediately until there is more budget for gambling.
maybe next week I will try to enter the casino again to try playing in slot games from other providers to get some benefits.
but I'm still curious about Tome Of Madness from the Play N Go provider. because there are so many people who share stories that at least get a decent profit after entering the bonus round session. and I decided to try next week.

Hahaha, agree.

I only trust from my experience. The pattern is not about "Bonus" but about hitting 'Free-spin', I always told Pragmatic & Play N Go have some similar pattern hitting bonus.
- 100-120 SPIN Average Hitting Bonus.
- Under 50 SPIN & Hit Bonus Multiple Time considered as Hot Fired Section (Keep going, until you cannot hitting anymore).
- More than 250-300 Spin without Bonus (You're on lose/bad section). Change the game, If want to play under the same Provider but once 4-5 game give you the same result try to change the provider.

Off-course people are freely to believe or not. But the third attempt is to avoid your money drain-out because in slot there always has some psycoloy next spinw we will hit the bonus ~XD.

I think that is completely not true and I think you are having a really good experience if you are hitting for average 100-120 spins the bonus game in Pragmatic Play.In here I have usually played much more spins before getting the bonus game while I agree that in Play n Go provider you can get the bonus in that zone and even earlier sometimes.

I think I learned something new now,which is more than 250-300 spins without the bonus game I should quit the game as I am on a losing run,I think I will start to apply this but I also think that in game with huge extreme volatility not getting the bonus round for over 300 spins can be normal.

Because it is less popular than other provider and not all casino provide this provider as well as this provider blocks some many countries so I have to play this provider with a VPN. I played this provider for the 1st time few years back, Wild Torro and Ivanhoe were my favorite ones to play. Good thing from this provider is that they are also following the trend of buy bonus feature. Most of their new games comes with buy bonus feature. I cant really remember what was my biggest multiplier in this provider since it was not that popular to share big multiplier in slot games when I played the games from ELK Studios.

No, it's really zero. I have that experience in pragmatic and PGS. For the first, I'm happy got freespins, but from 10 spins it's 100% dead spins  .

Anyway, do you notice the god gambler @roycilik rarely appears in this thread anymore?

Yeah, maybe he is busy with his RL so doesn't have time to play some games for gambling. I also not in contact with him for last 2 months, last time we are make a chit chat on December last year

It's good because I also taking a few days off

I want to refresh my mind after playing gambling in the past few days so that when I return to gambling, I can be calmer and relaxed and enjoy every game. I don't think I've ever played Tome of Madness from Play'N Go. Maybe I'll also try it later after my vacation period is over. Hopefully, we can get a decent profit like those people.

And playing slots from various providers is very exciting and can provide pleasure, especially if we can get big wins.

Pragmatic released their new game namely Wild West Duels which seems to be a copy of Wanted Dead or Alive by Hacksaw.
I guess roycilik tried Wild West Duels already since he liked to play Wanted Dead or Alive.
The main differences between Wild West Duels and Wanted Dead or Alive are about its RTP and Maximum Payout.
RTP of Wanted Dead or Alive is 96.4% with max win of 12,500x while the RTP of Wild West Duels is 96% with 20,000x max win.
Most of the other features are similar to each other, that's why I said Wild West Duels is a copy of Wanted Dead or Alive.

Why we're targeting around 100-120 spin?

Because, in 100-150 spin is the average cost of buying bonus buy. The question, If in 100-150 spin is the cost of buying bonus buy why you're doing normal spin? why not just buy the bonus and you're saving a lot time.

The reason, If the slot giving you payout around 30-40% constantly you can save more money rather than buying the bonus. But, If 95% of the spin you're not getting a small money back from spin better to buy the bonus.

I think it's only easy to be said than done. You may stick to your promise this time but I bet you already cross your limits before? And there is a chance that you will do that again in the future. Well what can we do, we are only humans. We are not perfect but as long as it doesn't happen often that you feel that you are now an addicted gambler, I think it was still fine.

The benefit that you can get on trying new games from other providers is it will break your boredom temporarily and who knows you might have that beginner's luck and win something. Play n go was still one of those trusted providers, just be careful only on those unpopular ones because they can be a scam.

Not the greatest of multiplier tonight but still the fact that I got another final stage of the bonus round in my new favorite slot which is Diamonds of the Realm makes me very happy and what makes me even happier is that with just 50 dollars gambled I won the bonus round at least 23 times despite the majority of them being empty rounds.By playing this game I just need a mere 1.88% to become VIP level 1 at Stake where I usually play.Here is the photo for you guys,it is not x1700 this time but even x422 is still a great multiplier.

When I saw the win description of $42.20 on Free Spins, it was still a huge win because few people could win that much, especially with the huge multiplier you get. I think I'm interested in playing it because of the victory

But I'm curious how many rounds do you do? Do you use automatic rotation or manual? Maybe I can try to imitate what you did. Who knows I could also be as lucky as you.

Well I have my so called "strategy" which is to piss of the provider as much as you can,how can you do that you say?It is easy,you play with a big balance but keep using the minimum bet,I have a belief that when I do this the game provider gets somewhat confused as sure the RTP jumps in but it takes much more time for you to lose the money so this means that you play a much longer session,thus greatly increasing your chances to get a bit more the bonus round than playing with other bets.

Then it relies on luck,during these bonus rounds,will you ever go to that final stage of x100 or it will just keep you in the loop and get you bored,only this is the deciding factor.I play manual or autobet,normal spin or fast spin,these do not modify at all the game behavior,again this is just my belief and since you asked I am replying it here.

But wouldn't that be difficult for gamblers who only use limited capital? We have to have a large balance but use a minimum bet, whereas many gamblers, including me, don't use large balances. So do you think it will work well? Because so far, I have always played with a minimum bet, which will depend on my luck. If I am lucky, I can win some money and vice versa.

But I will try to play using some money, perhaps up to my limit with a minimum bet and hopefully I can win like you. It would be fun for little gamblers like me to get a win like you.

setting limits will certainly make it difficult for gamblers who want to win. However, if the limit for this deposit is properly implemented, this person can avoid always adding our balance everytime we lose. When we don't get profit, this addition can be in vain. That is why it is advisable to limit the money, at least you have to keep in mind no matter how much you win or lose, you will spend on gambling each day/week/month based on this target/limit.

Gamblers who want to win must be able to set limits to avoid losses because they forget the limits they have set because it is not feasible to chase wins using a lot of money. Setting limits is only for people who don't want to run out of money when they gamble and avoid losing money. But no matter how much money they use, they will always run out at the gambling table if they don't learn to control it.

And if we don't benefit, we should stop to relieve the tension and disappointment we have experienced before. It will be useful to erase the sadness we get from that loss. And that's why it would be more useful to limit using money to gamble.

I also use this method when playing in slot games.
And indeed it all depends on luck, but that way at least I can always get free spins without having to buy them and from my experience in slot games I always get a pretty good RTP and often even get profits even if it's only a small amount.
If we are unlucky, maybe we will just keep playing it until we are really bored, but when we play slot games for a long time or reach more than 1000 spins, a large doubling like x500 will come out and I have experienced it several times, even though I failed to get it.
