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

[dimonstration]

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.

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.

Buying bonus buy and playing it manually is just same in terms of winning probability because they are both will give you random chance of winning.

You can’t guarantee that you can hit a 25$ worth of bonus buy after spending 25$ of manual spin because it can cost you a lot just to hit bonus round compared bonus buy. Same with purchasing bonus buy since you can spend a couple of bucks just to hit bonus buy.

The only difference of doing a manual/auto bet to buying bonus buy is the duration of gaming experience. But the chance rate varies and there’s no clear answer on what’s best to do because it’s all random.

What the best to do is to do what you like based on your own preferences.
Some people may prefer to do buy bonus than manual spin because of a reason, while some other may prefer to play manual spin for a reason as well.
For me, combination between both buy bonus and manual spin is the best but of course it is also based on how much is my starting balance.
If I have decent bankroll, I'll do few buy bonus first to test my luck then change to normal spins for few hundred spins.
If no luck on both ways, changing the game will be my 1st thing to do.

Most online casinos have demo modes where you can test the games using fun money for free. Just purchase bonus features and see what your final profits will be. Of course, slot games have RNGs and each session is unique. Just because you were profitable in demo mode won't make you profitable with real money and vice versa. Still, you can get a good feeling about how the game pays in free spins mode.

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.

i tried the new game once but it was so hard i was almost out $50 without a good multiplier. 
although it's usually slot games that have a maxwin of more than 15000x it's usually easier to get small wins. but I never got to those small wins. or maybe I'm just out of luck.

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.

it really depends on one's luck.
I have tried almost 10 different games from not very popular Play N Go providers and I made at least $10 on each game and around $20.
but the next day when I tried again on the same type of game, out of the 10 games I played before, only 3 other games gave me an advantage.
so it's just luck. If you play an unpopular but lucky slot game it is very easy to get a $50 win.

[mu_enrico]

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

lol as if they monitor users' balance
They'll be happy as long as you keep pressing the spin button.


By the way, I've just revisited the Book of Dead game and found that it's been updated to a slightly different SFX and Icon, it kinda looks like Legacy of Dead but sharper. I think the game (version) update is better than rehashing the same game, but the problem is users don't get notifications of what's changed. I might take a look at other old games, who knows they changed the game. The good thing is old games usually have higher RTP so I think it's better to stick with them.

after some time i left slot game from pragmatic provider i have balance from weekly bonus Stake and i decided to try my luck on FruitParty and i was pleasantly surprised with 2x spin its really amazing x5000

after long time not getting maxwin from pragmatic and finally i got back my luck around $400 but that's me using my local currency.

Congrats for the max win on Fruit Party, this is indeed a nice game to hunt for nice win as the chance to get max win is widely open in both normal spins and buy bonus. Nice that you hit it in normal spins and you hit it with the low paying symbol but with enough number of symbol to make it max win. I think you should also try the new Dog House game, namely The Dog House Multihold. It has 9,000x win and I see there are many people hit max win on this game already but the chance to hit max win in this game seems to be available during free spins only.

Grr... You take my money @len01 hahaha

Congratulations on your winning. That surprised me too as it is very difficult to win on FruitParty although I have tried many times. The results were not good for me. I even remember almost losing all my balance.

Hm, it makes me want to try to play FruitParty hahaha. Let us see whether I can win the game or lose again later. I hope I am not loss much money playing that game.

Kinda surprise, hitting max win in normal spin.

To bad betting with around under 0.1$, Imagine betting with the lowest amount but using USD for the currency should be 1,000$. Time to move on, and get x5000 on Zeus ~LOL since you already hitting on Fruit Party.

Well!!!

If they were Fiat casinos, yes!, without a doubt play money, but there are penny games, try those, for example, in the past I hit 5000x, so, my prize  it was only $50, it was my bet size. But!, if it had come out on play money, oh shit!.

It is the advantage of crypto territory, betting with real money, in fact you can look for providers that offer slots with bets for $0.0001, for example.

thanks for the words mate.
at first I just wanted to spend my weekly bonus balance but pragmatic still gave me money for fun

I've tried The Dog House Multihold but I'm a little stupid, usually when I want to try a new game I usually use a bigger base bet to get lucky. because usually new games provide a decent multiplier.
btw, that 9000x seems like a foolproof to get 1000x or 2000x multiplier like a fairly easy return.
but unfortunately I only get 687x.
maybe I'll try the game again in the next few days and I hope to get another surprise.

-snip

using a slightly higher base bet will usually maxwin
remember someone got maxwin on FruitParty and shared it here but i kinda forgot the guy's name. I know he also uses slightly higher stakes in my local currency and seems to get a maxwin on the normal spins too.

but usually if you lose a lot in one game and you come back the next day you'll usually end up with a nice multiplier.
good luck mate

-snip

maybe if I bet using USD with a bet of $ 0.2 will get $ 1000

but it seems like grandpa Zeus hates me, never surprises me

I think not only "The Dog House", but any old slot like Sweet Bonanza are also claiming to have a 60,000x multiplier until now there is no single proof, video or anything. You can see on the stake the highest can reach is 3,165x. New Slot from Pragmatic now only provided 5,000 - 10,000x and the newest slot max win can be reach comparing to old slot from them are some of the slot can't be reach.

It doesn't matter if it's fiat casinos or crypto casinos. Free play on slots is available on both. When you try to determine how much you can win, don't pay attention to the final payouts because they depend on your initial bet amount. Instead, look at the percentages that you get back. 5000x is a great return and all you need is to spin the reels with enough credit. 

in fact you can look for providers that offer slots with bets for $0.0001, for example.

I never saw the point really in playing like that. What difference does it make if you have $0.0001, $0.0002, or $0.001 in your pocket? It all equals to nothing in the end. You would have to get a 10.000x payout with such a starting bet to win $1. And even if you do (which you most probably won't), what are you going to do with $1? It's a waste of time if you ask me, but everyone decides for themeselves.

Everybody talking about max win at Pragmatic Play and we have seen several times in this thread that they give the max win more often than other providers I have to admit that but their volatility is freakin super extra high  ,as I never won a max win there despite trying several times.

Are other providers giving the max win as often as Pragmatic Play does or is me that keep hitting empty promises at Play n Go where I got x2000,x3000 and lately x1700 at their Arturian Legends themed slot machines and never once the max win.Beside Pragmatic Play which is the next best provider that gives the max win from No Limit City,Hacksaw Gaming and Play n Go?

[panjul07]

Beside Pragmatic Play which is the next best provider that gives the max win from No Limit City,Hacksaw Gaming and Play n Go?

IMO hacksaw is better than the other two providers (NLC & PnG), we have seen someone here win max win Hacksaw game few times.
My only max win happened with Pragmatic Play games only, I hit it in few different games such as Fruit Party, Fruit Party 2, Buffalo King Megaways and Madame Destiny Megaways.
I still think that Pragmatic play is still the best choice if you want to hunt max win, especially with the slots with 5,000x max win.
The possibility to play with cheaper bet (by changing the currency) is also a big advantage to play Pragmatic so we can have more bets to play.
No Limit City is great as most of their games can win up to few ten thousands multiplier or even a hundred thousand multiplier but I think the chance is absolutely low.

but to get maxwin in Hacksaw you really have to have a big budget to hold on until you get a big multiplier. I also often play on Hacksaw but it's very difficult to get maxwin. and for Play N Go indeed hardly anyone can reach maxwin on this type of provider, but to get multiplier 800x - 1000x is very easy for me.

for No Limit City to be honest I very rarely at this provider. because I have to use a VPN to be able to play at an NLC provider even though I really don't like gambling using a VPN.

Yeah but if you win you have to withdraw to a real bank right?, and then you won't be able to provide those details matching the VPN country.

Unless I'm missing something here.

Isn't the same for all providers when you are in your bad luck time? 
When it comes to luck, even with small bankroll, you may hit big win/multiplier.

My best in no limit city games was more than 4,000x and I've posted about it in this thread sometime ago.
In some casinos, yes you need to use VPN but there are some casinos where you do not need to use VPN to play No Limit City.
I hit my best multiplier NoLimitCity game in the casino that you promote in your signature and I do not need to use VPN to play it.
Aren't we from the same country?

If you play on Stake, you can choose IDR as your base bet on Pragmatic Play, the smallest bet would be IDR 200 or around USD 0.013... It should be low enough to enjoy most popular games without breaking the bank

Perhaps that's why you see most users here flexing max-win in IDR denomination lol

Yeah but if you win you have to withdraw to a real bank right?, and then you won't be able to provide those details matching the VPN country.

Unless I'm missing something here.

I often use VPN to bypass country rules on some providers and had no issues in withdrawal on various casinos. As long as it's not to bypass countries that prohibit placing online bets (banned from registration), the risk should be low. But I am fully aware of the risk, and I'm not playing with the money I can't afford to lose while doing it.

Disclaimer: what works for me, may not work for you.

Luck returns to you with normal spins but gets a good enough multiplier to get the maximum win.

It's amazing how from normal spins I won't necessarily get this win except from buy spins.

But lately I feel unlucky to make several deposits but the results are not good, and I decide to take a break and come back on the weekend to start another round. lol
