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

[panjul07]

This is the special thing from Razor family slot by pushgaming, normal spin without free spins may give big multiplier.
Unfortunately my bet was $0.1 only because I started my session with $10 deposit only in sherbet to join the crash contest.
After I hit 50.90x for the contest I moved to slot and win this spin in just few spins, lucky me.
Withdraw my winning and sent it to other casino for other contest (coins.game) but lost it all without hitting hundreds multiplier LOL.

why are you telling the truth, when playing slots at the beginning which is relaxing, step by step emotions will increase whether you are experiencing defeat or winning, and finally you raise your bet and everything runs out and you close the device, then imagine winning and the thing repeats itself again.

But now I can anticipate it I mean when I win big then I will move to another game we must realize the game will not give a continuous wins so when the game gives it once, we have to stop or move right? almost all of us understand about the theory but failed in practice Oh yah, I just tried the new game Candy Jar Clusters  from 10 times the experiment only won once for me this is a bad game as a new game, he didn't even welcome me well, but it's normal because this game offers high multiplier up to10000 I don't advise you to try it unless you are ready to lose and sometimes the luck of each player is different.

Even because we feel like we want to win we use many sites, sometimes when we win on the first site we transfer it to another site and play and so on, maybe you know the final result, but sometimes it will work to get lucky, whatever strategy what we do in gambling the results will be the same, but we enjoy doing it

Yeah, as far as I can tell the VPN restriction is to ensure that the gambler is from a country where the casino can provide a legal service.

If the identity of the person is provided, maybe they can use a VPN, but still I would be wary of using one, as they might be quick to say no to when you win something.

It's better to be safe than sorry with these things...

From all this it is clear that using VPN will not provide any benefits except for being able to access gambling sites when there are laws that prohibit gambling in the country where we live.
Indeed, it would be better to always avoid all forms of activity that could cause problems in the future, thinking about continuing to try to be safer in gambling is the thought of wise people and we must be able to do it.

Tell me little, in my opinion, slot games on local fiat sites are very different from crypto gambling sites.
Last night I tried playing slots on two gambling sites, first on local site which has a feature that shows the RTP and in the Starlight Princess game there is fairly high RTP, namely 95 and I played really well in every round.
Then I immediately switched to crypto site with the same game but the difference was very striking where the table fractions in each round were very bad but it was easier to get scatters, on local sites with good fractions it was very difficult to get scatters.
From here there are questions that suddenly arise in the mind.

Is it true that the provider is not centered on one manager, where the crypto site has different provider from the local site even though they are both pragmatic and in the same game, namely Starlight Princess?
From here, have you ever experienced the same thing and had the same thoughts as me?

and I mistakenly thought that when the jar is full you are immediately getting free spins or something. But when nothing like that happened, and I kept playing and adding new balls to the full jars, I think I've figured out what the progression is. With collecting balls you are just increasing your chance of getting free spins from, say, 0.1% to 0.2%. Your chance is still very slim, but it's true that it keeps increasing with every new ball collected.

From the info (i) section, it's clear that there's no such progression... the jar is only for cosmetics since the feature spin will be triggered randomly upon the collection of the candies. IMO this cosmetic thingy is like the Caishen series when the pot keeps getting filled when you collect wild symbols, but by no means it will increase the chance of triggering feature spins. Thus, you get this feeling of a 0.1% to 0.2% increase in probability simply because you are playing more and longer. I mean it's like a gambling fallacy when you feel that you'll trigger the feature spin if you keep playing...

If the candy jar is used in progression mechanics, it will 100% reset after you change your base bet.

Oh man, I think it should be illegal, to be honest. It's like with cigarettes, you can't write  “light” and “low tar” on the boxes since some point in the past, because it creates an illusion that some tobacco products are safer than others while all of them are dangerous and addictive. I lost more than $100 on this slot collecting dozens of those balls to no avail. I'd rather have regular symbols on the reels instead of those balls.

Yeah, it's important to do some research first (at least read the information section) before making an assumption. But, in reality, most of the players won't open the info section, worse, they even don't know the RTP and stuff. From legal PoV, I think they will state that they are honest with the game specification, even though it's slightly hidden. So it's completely fine IMO (Disclaimer: I'm not a law expert). We did this kind of mistake, so no sweat, just learn from it

Each casino is unique, so you should always open the info section to make sure you play on the highest RTP.
95% RTP for Starlight Princess is not the highest, IIRC it should be 96.5%.

The two popular RTPs for starlight are 96.5% and 94.5% from my experience... I never tasted the 95% variant.

I also do it when I feel it is my lucky day and it's true that sometimes it works, the mistake we most often make is taking the wrong moment when we win somehow it's very difficult to stop instantly our brain thinks this must be 10x but in fact this is the 10th deposit but that in the past, not for now. For now I have to set a withdrawal target before starting to play at least 100% of my deposit if in the end it is more than 100% then I will leave it in the account for the next game and make sure the first withdrawal has landed in your bank account, not in your crypto wallet if not, then there will be persuasion that always appears in your ears re-deposit re-deposit, Honestly, you experienced it, right?

Moving winnings from the previous casino to another casino and gambling again will not always result in winnings. Therefore, if we win from a casino, we should immediately stop gambling and leave the casino after we withdraw the winnings. When we win, our minds will tell us to continue gambling, either keep playing at that casino or move to another casino, but that's what usually happens. Most gamblers experience this, including me, and I also used to do what you do. But after experiencing a big loss I never imagined, I learned to restrain myself, especially after winning. I now prefer to leave the casino and if I can win above the minimum withdrawal limit, I will withdraw the winnings and leave the casino.

Yeah, many gamblers simply bet based on their gut feeling, and that might actually sometimes be the best way of doing it.

The thing is that you can get all the odds, calculations, etc, and still lose, and someone that just bets on a hunch wins. Or vice-versa. It's just luck.

Yeah, I mean, when we see a new slot do we go to info section first? Who does that? It's good if we go there after several days of playing, but go there right away? And also it has made the way we forget about what was there in the info section in a minute. Our brain is wired to feel optimistic when some jars are getting fuller and fuller. We expect it's not for nothing.

I do it, especially for a completely new slot, I mean not just a re-themed slot.
Info section is important for me to know the basic thing of the new games such as payout, RTP, max win, and other features.
Once I read the info section and I think that the new slot is not something that I like, I will not play it.

This made me think of reading the manual when you buy something new 

Some people will never read any manual whereas others won't even touch the new thing before reading it fully.

I guess it depends on the person.

My newest nice win, I hit it yesterday when I was trying to complete the SvE promo at Stake.
I deposited $50 and directly played this game, luckily I hit free spins in less than 10 spins and the free spins gave $352 which is x3524 of my base bet.
There are many other users who hit max win (x10,000) in this game lately due to many players play this game.
Maybe you guys should try it and who knows that you will hit max win, or at least hit 1000x as the target to beat for the promotion.

Perhaps, my temptation is going high because of these posts.

I still playing on old slot, last play slot on (Gate of Olympus) with Bonus Buy around 100$+ on BK8. Resulting no luck after 4 month hibernation from there because due 500x multiplier from bonus buys.

Maybe, new slot would be great. ~XD

[swogerino]

Today was my day finally for the year 2024 I am very happy to have started with well over x10.000 as a win.Now I have got to the Return of the Green Knight well over x11.000 in total and I am extremely happy for this achievement.That game is freaking super super high volatility but when it pays be ready to get more money,much more money than those Hacksaw gaming slots,this is a job well done from Play n Go,truly a great slot.

That's what I should be doing as well, I think. The thing is that I enjoy the uncertainty when it comes to playing slots. So, in some cases I think I will be playing without looking at info section still.

Yeah, as I said above, uncertainty may be interesting. But not when you bought a new microwave oven. Then you don't need surprises, do you?

What a nice win! Congrats, @panjul07@!

Having a lot of free time as a soccer gambler, playing slots could be quite enjoyable. I might start learning the basics from here .

This list is pure my judgment based on the gaming experience (sadly, I didn't get paid for this lol),  ~cut~

Admin Pick:
* Rich Wilde and Tome of Madness (96.59% - High) | Rating: 4.4/5;

Nice..everyone prefers getting these unpaid recommendations because there's no pressure to exaggerate about other companies. And I've tried the first game as per what you wrote. Try this just to divert my eyes from Gate Olympus and wanting to try the top choices in the thread.



Getting free spins for my first 20 clicks...Not as big as the win @panjul07 got... it was a win from my first free spin in this game ..

As I see, your bet was 2,000 IDR, and the win was 35,000 IDR,



so, the multiplier was 17.5x. It's not that big of a multiplier, but still it's a decent win. Congrats!

My latest win was 42x on Blade & Fangs by Pragmatic Play



Can't say it was a big win, but for me it was great because recently all my wins on slots were below 20x.

yeah... I know that, because I'm just starting to explore more advanced class about slots and for me this is just the beginning. because I'm still a baby, maybe I'll share a big multiplier someday.

Wait until I can get a win like @panjul, it's really curious to push my luck on this 1x click game.  Give me time for that.

That makes my luck even more realistic and I can push it to this point. Hopefully it doesn't take long.

Keep trying is the only way you can hit big multiplier but of course luck will play the main role here, because without luck we will get no big multiplier even if we keep trying.
Below is my latest best multiplier but too bad the base bet is only 800 IDR or around $0.05.



It is a 5561x win, half of the maximum multiplier in the game (10,000x).
It reached 5000+ with some spins remaining and need x2 multiplier symbol only to hit max multiplier but missed it till the end of the free spins.

I think it is very difficult to get big wins on Blade & Fangs, I always get bad results from that slot machine. The respins are always bad and the freespins are often bad, it's been a long time since I played the Blade & Fangs slot machine. But you can get a good win there, cool guys

Wow, what an extraordinary win, I have never been able to win more than 5000x bet and when playing on a slot machine with a maxwin more than 5000 it is always very difficult for me. Like Zeus 1000 which always eats up my balance very quickly. It sounds like you learned a lot from Roycilik
