What Feature Do You Look for In Slot Games?

[Pmalek]

Try Reactoonz 2 mate, the music and sound effects are so good!

I know this game, I tried it some time ago, but never liked the characters and that cascading gameplay.

True, RTP for older games are usually higher at ~97% (depend on the provider), and it still has lots of loyal customers.

Mega Joker is an old 3-reels slot game. It's as classic as it gets. It has an RTP of 99% but I honestly never won any decent amounts while trying it in free mode.

Just a curiosity: sometimes when playing at slots in land based casinos it looks like the RTP isn't fixed, as the machines suddenly become more or less profitable, depending the time, as they were manipulated.

The RTP of slots in physical casinos is lower compared to online games. Land-based casinos have higher operating costs, staff members that require salaries, taxes, and other expenses that have to be paid. There are regulations what the RTPs can be, but in general you ca be sure they are lower than what you get online.

Free spins and Bonuses is the first feature I look for in slot games. I think, everyone notice it first. Without any investment, if we get something it makes us pleasure. Literally, I look for it first. Then the second priority is to check the RTP percentage. I wish I will win a big amount one day. I had won but not a big amount till now.

The reason why could be because of another factor I mentioned in the poll: the volatility.
Maybe you have been playing the wrong slot games. Wrong in the sense that they belong to the low volatility category that tend to pay small but regular amounts. Make some research on the games you usually play, and see if that is the case. If you are more of a risk-taker, maybe you could switch to medium/high or high volatility slots.

Of course bonuses and free spins are enjoyed by all players without exception. My favourite strategy when playing slots is to choose as many lines as possible with the minimum bets. The only disadvantage with this game is that the bankroll runs out very quickly.

RTP is much concerned and next is the free spins and bonuses. However gambling is getting turned to be a place for the highrollers, because majority of the winners out of the slot games were high rollers who keep on wagering even when there is no return and finally makes the big multiplier win. Common gamblers weren't able to withstand to such extend even when the RTP of the game is high.

I do think when am talking about the normal slot games I mainly look for jackpots and free spins. Its always icing on the top if they do have good graphics ofcourse. Plus there are sites which make them complicated to an extent that it's not beneficial anymore and therefore I do believe it should always be simple and designed nicely.

RTP is something that is very valuable but at the end there are slot games with minimum betting value and I do always like to make small bets and then continue the game game for a long period of time. plus your winning percentage always increases when you play for a long time with small small bets like in penny slots and dollar slots so you are more likely to hit a jackpot with them.

I look for the "Buy Bonus" feature which allows me to play directly in a game that I want to play instantly without waiting for those 3 "squatters" to show up. It gives me instant fun while also opens up a chance for me to win big (though, it makes me lose big too sometimes).

Well, 100% reliability and best odds are the features I would wish to a developer. I know that gambling platforms have been made to gain profits. But I hope they could spare some by providing better odds. In that way, we could enjoy it and become frequent users of the platform. I also noticed how platforms have been built. It is somehow technical that sometimes, instead of playing, I instead had to focus on studying how to navigate and that is very much time consuming and frustrating. These are the only reason why I feel dissatisfied. But the rest are great development already! Never had to risk your life going out with tons of prizes and be anxious as someone would steal it from you.

Who doesnt love free spins and bonuses? Clearly that people do love it based on the poll.Im much more prefer on playing good looking slots and not minding about RTP's or whatsoever.

That's how it is with slot games. Each line is a new bet that adds up to your total wager. You can either limit yourself to just a few lines or activate them all. The problem with the first option is that you will be missing out on plenty of possible wins because you don't have that particular winning pattern (payline) active. Betting with all paylines costs more, just like you said.

I don't like the minimum bets. Those are just pennies, and even if you manage to trigger a big win percentagewise, you would be getting pennies or a few dollars back. You have got to be very lucky to win something decent with minimum wagers.

I am not an expert on slot games because I tend to lose more than I win. Especially with free spins I tend to be very unlucky. Somehow free spins never give me a good return. That is probably also why I prefer slot games with a jackpot these days. So even if you lose money while gambling you still have the chance to win the jackpots. Almost all of my bigger slot winnings are from Jackpots. If possible I prefer lower volatility games.

Free spin and other bonus games are the most chosen because players hope to get this, including me choosing this as the first choice when playing slots, while for graphics I don't really care about it, RTP is something I learn because playing slots hasn't been too long.

Most of the time, the free spins feature is difficult to trigger and you need plenty of patience and money to keep going until you eventually activate them. I am not sure how much money you usually gamble with, and I might not be in the position to offer advice, but have you ever tried a slot where you can purchase the free spins as an in-game offer? That will take you straight to the bonus games without requiring you to search for scatters and free spins activators.

Free spins and bonus games.

Few times i've bet a rather large amount and got lucky to get free spins with bonuses with those. Those got me huge wins but also they got me hooked, so i guess they serve their purpose and i will be eventually will losing my winnings by trying to catch those.

I play for fun rather than to try to make money, which is why my bets are minimal. This is the only way I can choose the maximum number of lines and wait for luck to come to me. Of course I would like to hit the jackpot, but if I use max bets I'm more likely to lose it all.

Free spins is really addicting that there will be time you’ll end paying more than what we plan for since the casino provide attracting freebies as well sometimes a good campaign showing possible jackpots with good graphic or video effects in their ads or contest to keep the players hooked not only in slot games but sometimes in all of their games whenever they provide a campaign promotion like contest offering some freebies.

I usually choose the one that offers free spins and bonuses. I see that as an opportunity to earn while trying their site. It's still important that a site that we're choosing will be generous to us. If we'll get lucky through their bonuses, that will also be the reason for us to stay on their site. That's a good strategy for them to attract more players too.

Have you tried games that aren't equipped with pay lines and instead they have tumbling or exploding win features? Each developer has a unique name for such type of slots. Someone mentioned Reactoonz 2previously. That's one good example of such a game where you have to line up multiple symbols of the same type and not have to worry about pay lines. Pragmatic Play has several games with tumbling wins and a free spins buy feature at minimum stake.

I think the Jackpots are the main feature to start playing the game. I is a lot about winning the big price and all that, but after a while it is more about finding some short of logic and interaction in the game, that is, luck is always there and may be on your side during that day, but having to learn how to use advances and extra perks makes the game more fun to play.

[Woodie]

Based on the poll, For me it has to be Free spins and other bonus games which includes bonus buys(not among the poll options) with a combination of high volatility that's a good combination of pushing your luck.

I look for the "Buy Bonus" feature which allows me to play directly in a game that I want to play instantly without waiting for those 3 "squatters" to show up. It gives me instant fun while also opens up a chance for me to win big (though, it makes me lose big too sometimes).

I see very few have talked about this , does that me their casinos don't offer the buy bonus feature on slot games??
