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

[swogerino]

I know you won't believe me when I say that this time is a definitive move from me that I am not ever again touching slots but this time is for real,you will almost never see me commenting on this thread as I learned that you win once and lose 99 times out of 100 game play sessions that you have and this seems a bit to much to handle for me,it makes me feel like the most idiot person in the world knowing such statistics and going back to gamble.I will stick to sport betting and no nothing happened that I lost big or something similar,I just want to quit in a definite way and I will do it.

well, you have realized this. but sorry I'm a little doubtful, because I'm sure at least once a week you will definitely try to play slots several times to cure your longing for this game.
I don't know why this slot game is so annoying, makes so many people lose and angry, but why these people always miss this game and keep coming back for more even though they realize that slots are just a waste.

this past week I saw several people saying the same thing to stop playing Slots. but in the end they came back and shared the victory.

It's funny if there are still people who say they want to stop playing slot-type gambling but that person still comes in and gives reviews on slot game threads.
It seems that he is a crazy gambler so he says that slots are bad and annoying games but in his heart says differently and really wants to continue playing in slot games.
Slot games can make gamblers addicted because the games are very fun to play and make everyone who plays slot games constantly curious about getting maxwin.
It's a lie if gamblers say that slot games are bad to the point of wanting to stop playing them.

It is exactly one week from that post and I have not played slots,don't get me wrong though,I may still play but now it is an absolute thing that I won't spend more than 5-10 dollars and that is a very low amount to play slot machines so it is almost like non playing,I have migrated to sport bets and I will never look back,you will almost not see me here giving again reviews for slot machines,I will try the new ones in demo mode but as I said it is an absolute decision this time that I will just spin a couple of dollars max weekly and not play like 100-200 dollars like I used to do,so I will be posting next week also here to say the same thing  .

hey, you're back mate! lol
I know and believe that even you can never leave your favorite game just like that, of course you come back to slot games even if it's only $5 but you can't stop staying away from slots  
I'll be waiting for your reply next week with replays of some wins

i also stopped playing any game that relies on luck, since my beginnings of gambling i only did sports betting but last year i decided to try plinko game as well as it was just for fun and it was a bonus they gave me at the casino so everything was fine, there was nothing wrong with playing plinko, I told myself that even if I lost it wouldn't hurt, because when I bet on a game I don't feel sad when I lose a bet because it's part of the game to lose, so I started playing plinko, it had been more than 30 minutes and I had already made 3X of the bonus money they gave me, I lost but then there was a winning streak

everything was going so well that even I was convinced that I could make a lot of profit in that section, I had even spent hours playing, the value was rising, that's why I decided to rest a few minutes, when I go back to play I start to lose, so from so many sequences of defeats I changed the parameters of the game, I reduced the difficulty and the number of lines, but it was unbelievable that I couldn't win, I was just losing, it was hours losing until the balance reached zero, I just couldn't believe what I was See, since that day I don't play games that depend on luck anymore, that was a big lesson for me

That's the thing. Casinos design their games specifically so that you feel exactly that way.

You feel like you're winning, even though you're not. Any loss is ignored, and any win is seen as a massive win, even if it's cents.

In the end by playing those machines you build a powerful circuit in your brain that is highly addictive. It's always good to be aware of this, and be very cautious.

[ryzaadit]

to people who are currently unlucky: patient my friend, I have a similar problem and haven't withdrawn anything since January 2023.

That's quite f*ck up ~XD

Meanwhile, my self keep deposit for the past 3 weeks ~XD Slot are good result for the past 2 weeks but getting rekt on the CASINO Games. -_- Playing 2 Slot on BK8:
1. Buy around 3-4M IDR on Gates payout 14M IDR
2. Claim Bonus 35$ PGSoft ended 100$ with 10x turnover.

But, since I more often play CASINO game due my rage never hitting 1000x from my entire slot journey. Losing more on there right now.

It's normal, friend, because gamblers only have thoughts of winning and profiting, so when they get a win, they can think of it as an absolute win because they get an advantage, but they don't think about how much money they have lost when they lost in the previous game.
Of course, slot machines will give the mind to continue playing because in the human brain there are thoughts of more and more curiosity or you can say curiosity plus the emergence of greed which makes a person always prioritize bigger wins.
We will find things like this in gamblers who have become addicts.

[len01]

these weeks I feel if Slot games are bad for me or even my bad days. i have played Slots on the first two providers on Play N Go i lost all my balance.
and after that I forced myself to bet again on Pragmatic providers and the results were very disappointing on Olympus and StarlightPincess in 2000 spins without a big multiplier.
looks like I'll stop gambling for the next few months

I know that feeling and I am having a hard time staying out of playing slots but the result by doing so is less sadness for me while I am blaming big teams in sport betting for not winning.Sometimes bad luck affects us all but as someone here said,patience my friend,the day when we will hit that big win is not that far away hopefully and when you hit like x10000 or even more than that and you are playing with a bet of over 0.70 the feeling of greatness empowers you as I saw someone at Stake casino hit that max win at pragmatic slot the red queen if I remember correctly a couple of days ago (yes I always keep chat open to see other people winnings to keep me motivated) and he won like 51.xx Litecoins which is not a bad amount of money,so patience for people who still play slots.

every gambler will definitely feel that feeling of regret when you lose in a row at gambling, even at all types of bets. but as long as the money that is lost is money that can be lost, I think that feeling of disappointment will disappear soon.

I guess I broke my promise not to gamble for a few months, but I was tempted when I saw my remaining $6 balance and I finally beat the f*cking grandpa. changed $6 to $65 with maxwin.
but unfortunately I only use a very small minimum bet. if I had at least used a $0.7 bet it might have been so much better

I congratulate you on your win, and, honestly, risking $6 is not exactly braking your promise. You can afford to lose $6, I'm pretty sure, and, besides, you couldn't withdraw that amount anyway, because it's too small.

Regarding making higher bets, I disagree. Yes, you would win more in the case of hitting a high multiplier, but it would take just a few lost bets to reach the amount you could afford to lose. Too short to be fun.

That was your luck with small bets, you might not hit max win if you played with higher bet so do not be greedy However it is normal to think like "why I did not bet bigger" when we hit big multiplier, and we also think the opposite when we get losing streak "why I did not bet less"?

A wise man said "No replay = hoax." LuL

Nice replay +1
But the question is... why IDR 200? Out of gas? LuL
Did you withdraw?

Yeah, that's why I bet IDR 1,000 or with a minimum bet equivalent of USD most of the time, doesn't matter if it's raining or sunshine, me always bet the same
But me unlucky most of the time

Not being able to withdraw $6 is a bit weird though. I mean, with lightning it shouldn't really be a problem at all as you can withdraw a few sats with almost no cost.

I wonder how much money these companies make just by grabbing the leftover from all their accounts.

Anyone here has tried Bison Spirit Enhanced RTP by Pragmatic Play? I just tried some time ago, played with normal spins and I got 3 free spins within my first 100 spins. Initial free spins is 8 free spins (with 3 scatters) and surprisingly every free spins round gave me so many additional free spins but unfortunately the results were not good at all.

https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/ZArkdAtTag
This one gave me 121 free spins, so I got 113 additional free spins but the result is only 120x from the basebet.

https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/xmKDSrcLQn
This one gave me 61 free spins (53 additional free spins) and the result is only 152x

https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/W0DK1x8QNa
This one gave me 56 free spins (48 additional free spins) and the result is only 82x.

I think this game gives free spins easily as well as additional free spins crazily but it is really hard to win big multiplier although it gives tens to hundreds free spins in a single bonus round.

yep, if I use a bigger bet amount maybe I can't get a big multiplier because my budget is too small maybe it will run out faster not until the free spins

that's how a gambler, always dissatisfied with the results obtained, sometimes I'm like that.

But the question is... why IDR 200? Out of gas? LuL

yuhu, I lost about $90 before and that $6 was just left of my budget a while ago

Did you withdraw?

50% will be withdrawn 50% for betting budget on Starlight Princess, but I haven't made a bet yet. waiting for a dream to be visited by a beautiful woman given by maxwin.

maybe I took too much time to watch all your replay and spent a few minutes watching. do you have a problem with Bison? looks like Bison Troll you
the free spins you get a lot but unfortunately can't reach the big multiplier or max win.

to be honest I've only tried 2x at Bison Spirit after that I stayed away from that type of game. it is very difficult to get Scatter from normal spins and when buying free spins it works out badly for me.

I have two weeks exactly tonight that I am not playing slots and I don't feel any nostalgia at all for my former preferred provider Play n Go,notice the former word here  .However seeing that replay of len01 at Gates of Olympus of over 1560 multiplier and getting that max win ignited in me a desire to try Pragmatic slots now but I am behaving calmly up until now.I think that any amount I want to play slots I will play 5-10 dollars the slot just to try out and not become sad if I lose and all the other money that I had for slots will go for sport betting,this way I can play every day of the week and not just once because slots are the evil that sucks your complete balance.

That sounds pretty unfortunate. Maybe you shouldn't have played 2,000 spins straight but should have taken a break or maybe tried some other game. It may sound absurd but this trick actually works pretty well at times. When you are constantly losing at a game, just exit, take a 10 to 15-minute break, get back and try another game first, and then get back to what you were playing and you will see a change.

People mostly don't do this and they just continue playing even if they are losing every single bet, some start chasing their bets and lose even more and some just continue with the regular base bet but don't stop until they exhaust their bankroll.

How dare you say me spreading a hoax ~XD

There is no word "Hoax" in my dictionary ~XD I'm just to lazy take a screenshot, but since the word came to me decided to take a screenshot. It was my last slot gameplay around 1-2 weeks ago.

Never underestimate my word please ~XD
I don't know why, the history is not in my game but this is from my last visited on ZEUSSSSSSSSS. 3M IDR Bonus Buy.

Spending 5-10 bucks just for testing purpose of a new game that you have never played before is good enough especially if the new game you want to play comes from Pragmatic as in some casino you'll be able to bet 200IDR per spin which worth no more than $0.015.
Means that you can make hundreds spins with 5-10 bucks as your starting balance, you can even do tens buy bonus with 5-10 bucks just in case you want to feel the free spins feature instantly.
However be careful when you are playing with so small bets, because you may hit huge multiplier that may attract you to bet bigger.

That's a good point and I've also noticed this a lot, whenever you are betting small in any game, you will get high wins, don't seem to be losing at all, but as soon as you start betting big, it seems like the game suddenly stops giving you any win at all, and you seem to have about 8 to 9 consecutive losses every time which dries up your bankroll.

I know it's mainly based on your luck but sometimes this almost feels like there is someone watching you play and as soon as they realize you may be winning, they just switch the odds and you start losing from that point.
