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

Anyone tried the new games by pragmatic namely Pompeii Megareels Megaways?
Roycilik said to me that the game is garbage LOL and it was proven because I lost more than $150 by doing buy bonus with IDR 1000 base bet few days ago.
But I'm not giving up so I tried it again and I managed to hit nice multiplier (close enough to the max multiplier) so I can recover my previous lost.



That's a 8947x from the base bet while the max multiplier in this game is 10,000x
What is new in this game is the multiplier during the free spins, it is not progressive like the other games where every win spin add 1x to the multiplier.
This game give multiplier based on the number of connected winning symbol in each spin, so the more connected symbols=the bigger multiplier.

What I wanted to ask, @mu_enrico, do you know, Live RTP refers to the RTP of a particular slot on a particular platform, or globally?

I think the one who can answer this question correctly is the owner of the site that provide the Live RTP information. We can guess only because we do not know how the site collect the data. If I have to guess, the one provided by bitcasino or livecasino is an information based on their own data taken from their own server. What I hope is that the providers can have such a Live RTP information in their official website so it can be global information because providers must be have bigger data.

If you really want more accurate answer, the person who can answer it is the site owner who provides information regarding live RTP or the provider of the slot game itself, because this is also one of the systems in which gambling sites work.
They show the RTP percentage in each slot game and every time the percentage changes, but from one gambling site to another gambling site we will get different RTP percentage figures.
Whether it refers to particular type of slot game or not globally in the sense that each gambling site will have different provider even though it is the same type of game.
For example, when I use fiat gambling site, there is live RTP that is clearly displayed on almost all types of slot games, but when I compare it to the same slot game on crypto gambling site, I find striking difference.
There is thought in my mind that live RTP cannot be the same globally and this is the secret of those gambling site owners and slot game providers.

Damn...you always impress with your huge multipliers. Every time you post something legit, I try to follow suit (though, sadly, it doesn't copy your luck).

BWT...which website do you play your games on? I play games from Pragmatic on Stake and Shuffle too, but the minimum bet on slots there is IDR 2000, while you can bet at IDR 1000.

Honestly, I have to use a VPN to access some casinos because they're blocked. So, does our chosen VPN location also affect the minimum bet amount we can use?

Both Stake and Shuffle allows you to bet as low as 200IDR in Pragmatic slots as long as you change the currency into IDR.
Using VPN will not affect the minimum bet IMO because I can still bet 200IDR while my VPN is turned ON.
I do not know why you cant adjust the bet, I'm sure you are missing something here but I dont know what is that.
Maybe you open non Pragmatic games such as Play n Go, that's why the minimum bet is 2000IDR because the only providers that allows us to bet as low as 200IDR is pragmatic only as far as I know.

That's because he didn't share how much he lost, believe me, for every big win there is definitely a big loss behind it.

Most online crypto gambling sites have a minimum bet of IDR 2000 for pragmatic providers. If you want to play slot machines with a lower minimum bet (IDR 200), you can try using a local casino that uses fiat currency.

No, it doesn't have any effect at all. Just a myth

Really? I have never changed it to IDR, usually I use USD

[bayu7adi]

Both Stake and Shuffle allows you to bet as low as 200IDR in Pragmatic slots as long as you change the currency into IDR.

Alright, turns out I set the wrong currency earlier and I was using USD. I thought it was only available for USD use too.

For USD usage, the minimum is $0.2 or around IDR 3000. After I switched it to IDR, it automatically converted my USDT to IDR at the updated rate. And you're right, the minimum bet for pragmatic slots using IDR currency is 200.


Currently, I'm into placing small bets, aiming to snag the biggest multiplier possible.

Wow I haven't played slots for a while, and I want to try it again.

But with this I'm curious why the currency benchmark can affect the minimum bet cost per turn, I often see this kind of thing too, like $0.2 for USD and Rp 200 for our local money, maybe for other currencies it's the same, like Yen or others have different minimum bet levels? and what is the basic foundation of this, why casinos treat each currency differently in the minimum bet.

First off, congrats on your amazing win, @panjul07!

After reading your post I decided to play this slot by Pragmatic Play a bit(I've never played it before).

After like 20 spins, some of which gave me small wins around 1 dollar, I hit a really nice win, 103x of my bet:



It's not even close to yours 8947x(this is something I can only dream of), but still it was a great start to the day.

Hit the free spin three times today, playing Pompeii for an hour, but luck didn't smile on me. The biggest win was x150, but it didn't come from the free spins.


I feel like it's a bit harder to score big wins, and even when I do win, it's not that huge. I think it need more luck to hit a multiplier above x1000. A lot of wins are below x15, and they hardly ever come.

Yeah, that's probably how the odds are assigned anyway.

A big win should happen less often than a small win, because of their odds.

It sounds to me like the system is working as intended.

You are not alone, someone just informed me privately that he got busted by this game as well maybe he will come here to tell us about his experience in this game later.
I have not played this game again after my best win as what I shared previously, I'll try again later to know if I still have a good luck in this game.

That's because he didn't share how much he lost, believe me, for every big win there is definitely a big loss behind it.  

I did share how much I lost in this game before I hit that win, but saying that it is definitely a big loss behind a big win is too much and not completely true.
Luck is always be the only key, even if you have experience big loss, it is not a guarantee that big win will come soon.
On the opposite side, a big win may come without big loss first.

[komisariatku]

Maybe I quite agree. Sometimes if I try my luck on a new site, it turns out to be better than the site I usually play on. Actually there are no guarantees, just my feeling.

I wanted to share my nice win that I previously shared in the Blackjack.fun thread. Maybe some people haven't seen it, so I wanted to share it here too. Initially I thought I would get Maxwin because the multiplier was very good, but unfortunately there were lots of dead spins in the last few spins. Only 330x bet on candy crush by PP, not bad

Has anyone tried playing the newest slot machine from nolimmit, fire in the hole 2? It seems that the slot machine is not as brutal as the original version

I'm getting bored with Pompeii. LOL....some of the spins didn't produce any money or interesting wins, and I decided to try the new slot from Pragmatic Play too....its name is "Mighty Munching Melon"

This slot is a little new to me, because the bonus round or similar to the fruit version of the scatter, is more unique than other slots. The characteristic of this slot is the watermelon, where when a watermelon eats coins in the bonus round, it will increase the multiplier. In one bonus round, the machine can spin 50 times or more.

Each bonus round awards 3x free spins, but the free spins will be filled another 3x when a coin appears or a watermelon appears.

Getting the bonus round was pretty easy for me, whether this was due to the impact of the new game or maybe my luck was just good. In the first 100 spins, I got 3 bonus rounds, one of which was quite large and gave me a win, namely x248. It's true that I haven't reached a multiplier of thousands, but this is quite big considering I'm still a beginner in the world of slots.

Let me tell you, I played this game in the previous 2 days and I'm pretty sure I made more than 1000 spins.
The result is really bad, I cant even get a multiplier above 200x and free spins came so rare but when it comes, it gave no more than 50x LOL

I tried this as well but no big win so far, this is indeed a new style of bonus round from Pragmatic.
Combination between pacman game with hold and win type bonus + increased multiplier.

Do you play pragmatic slot machines? I also experienced the same thing. Play Chilli Heat Megaways and get 2 time respin bonus but not a single money sack symbol falls and the respin ends in just 3 respins. Very bad

It seems like the last 2 days pragmatic play have been very bad. I played at two different casinos and both were equally bad. I even watched a YouTuber's live streeam and he went broke in the last 2 days. Is it possible that pragmatics is so bad that it applies to everyone?

[Betwrong]

Guys, look what an amazing win I just had:



It was on Strawberry Cocktail by Pragmatic Play. I used to avoid this provider, but I'm starting loving them more and more.

371x of my bet. Honestly, I don't know whether rolling 5 scatters affected the result, or just 3 would do the job too, but what matters is the result itself and it's great. I'm happy.

Tried it earlier today because this slot is selected for the challenge in a casino, the challenge is to beat 618.9x and I'm lucky enough to complete it in less than 500 spins.

That's a 3201x from the initial bet and luckily it comes from a normal spin without bonus round.

I managed to hit bonus round more than 10x but not single bonus round gave me more than 100x but above normal spin was a big surprise.

Interesting.

That makes me think that many casinos might just use the same providers of the logic which is certified random, etc, and then they just apply their skin on top of it.

That might explain why you saw similar waves at different casinos.

Not sure if that's well known already, but I'm not familiar with how they operate in detail.

Damn, you always win. I've also tried it a few times, I got some good wins there but I got them from bonus purchases. It would be crazy if you could get 3000x on normal spins. But yesterday I saw on YouTube that one can get Maxwin in Fire in the Hole 2 on normal spins and not on bonus respins.

I'll update with screenshots soon, I'm playing on mobile and haven't made screenshots for this game yet. But in general I still lose at this slot machine. huh

TF... this isn't even a win from free spins, but the multiplier is pretty crazy?



At https://fan.nolimitcity.com/, this game occupies the second board in order of popularity, maybe your goal is to enter the contest, but have you also thought about this level of popularity when deciding to play a particular slot?
It could be that this might be a bit of a strategy you use to choose which slots you want to play, and I'm quite curious to find out.
