How do you play Slots? (long sessions / jumper / focussed)

[KennyR]

Looking upon streamers we get interested to play same as they do. But, it isn't possible with us. Myself have maximum tried $100, but nothing strikes same as we see the with the streams. My choice of gambling is on Dice. I keep on losing, whenever I end up losing I decide to move to slot or other games. But I won't be able to do it when I enter the next time. Same as this there'll be slot players who go on long sessions.

@johhnyUA I thought there is no difference at all? So, why waste time jumping from one slot to the other? Why not use all your fund in one game?

I think there is a difference. In jumping from one slot to another, we are avoiding the series of dead spins which occur after a long session of spinning.  This can also be observed in Dice.  So moving to another slot somehow minimize the trigger of a series of dead spin.  Of course, high to extreme volatility slots negate this since most of the time they give a dead spin. It is also explained that each slot has its own seed so moving to another slot means changing seeds.

That is fairly true. Playing in the same slots, in the long run, might give us the possibility of hitting good wins. Besides, we can't test our luck on slots on just 10-20 spins. We really need to spend time staying in the same slot to somehow gives us a chance to hit those wins.

Of course, it's not that we will really stick to that decision to stay in the same slot until the end.

It's still a good option to consider jumping on other slots depending on the situation.

By betting small amounts, at least we can have more time to play slots, and maybe that's the way that can give us pleasure by playing slots. We can also hope that playing small amounts can allow us to win even though the number of wins is not or can't win big.

Honestly, at most slots, a minimum bet of $0.1-$0.2 can yield a good return of course if we hit a good multiplier or we trigger a bonus game aside from free spins. Although we need luck to achieve that, still, it proves that profiting from slots can't always be obtained by betting only on big bets. Of course, more return if the stake is high but average gamblers, they can play slowly with small bets and hope for the best.

On that particular doing, it's better to keep playing in 1 slot, at least.

Yes, you are right, but it will be rare for us to get a good multiplier or some free spins. Sometimes we can win a lot one day, but we can lose a lot the other day, and it always happens to those of us who keep on gambling. But by using a minimum bet, the time we use to play gambling will be longer, and that means we can get fun or even more curious about how to get a win

But still, playing slots really requires luck, so we can't always expect to be able to win, regardless of the amount of betting money we use.

oh, man, I don't have enough concentration for long sessions xD
I get bored quickly so I spend little time on it

[Betwrong]

I am very curious to know how people are playing Slots.

Option A : Do you play one slot for a long time, until you hit the feature or until you win something big?
~

Yes, most of the time I'm trying to play like this, but it's not like I'm hitting something big in the end all the time. Sometimes, after losing 4-5 times more than I can easily afford to lose, I stop without reaching my goal. I would be very surprised to read about someone's always achieving their goal.

oh, man, I don't have enough concentration for long sessions xD

there was already options and you only need to choose which is your strategy here

Option A : Do you play one slot for a long time, until you hit the feature or until you win something big?

Option B : Do you jump between different slots, play for a while and then jump to the next slot?

Option C : Do you set a target amount for each Slot and then stay with that?

best to read the choices so you could choose who are you in those choices lol.

and you only need to concentrate while you have the funds and time to play

This depends on how big the target he wants to achieve. Is it 2x, 10x, 100x from the initial deposit or more. If he wanted a small multiplier, of course it could easily be achieved. but if he wants more than 100x ^maybe he won't always be able to hit his target. To play with a lot of money and high multiplier winning, of course, the risk is also big, so it is not possible to always reach high target.

That's good for you. At least you don't have to spend too much money on gambling. And you can also avoid gambling addiction because many people cannot reduce their activities in gambling and end up addicted to gambling. But it seems you do not have an option from the options by the @OP so I guess you are not an active gambler like others.

[nullama]

This is probably the best mindset to have on slots, just enjoy it for a bit, and then move on. That way you spend little time and money, but still enjoy it.

Option B : Do you jump between different slots, play for a while and then jump to the next slot?

I am with this type of a slot player. I don't/cannot stay long in just one game. It bores me quick and gives me a hard time to enjoy the game. IMO, it's always better if you still excited about the game you are playing.
Some reasoning are because they might be near hitting the jackpot that is why they stay but I don't believe that. If it's your day then it will be. I have seen one gambler who is not sitting in one slot machine for so long but hit the jackpot for like 10-15 rounds.

[BitcoinPanther]

I tried the jumper option setting auto roll on 50 and jump to other games.  Most of the slots game I played gives me a bonus round even before the 50 auto spins are finished.  I was winning  but when I switched to focused, that is when I lost my bankroll.  It was easy to get the bonus round on the early spin but it took longer and longer for the scatter to drop as the game goes on.  Not saying the long streak of dead spin.

slots is a luck-based game so yeah, we can never be sure when will we hit the jackpot. it can be playing long or just very short span of time. so whatever your style in slots, is all on you. at the end of the day, it is your bankroll on the roll. every one has their own tactic on playing with slots. just remember, play what you can afford to lose. overrated piece of advice but it matters.

The main principle in gambling always the same though.

Play it with the money you can afford to lose , so you might find it fun and at the other side ... it's earn you some unexpected profit! The best thing you can do is by playing with spare money and hit allin at once , for instance $10 changes ... and boom turn it into 0 or get the 500 times at a single roll. That's what makes slots fun to me tho.

[serjent05]

Kinda when slot wanna pays you it pays in 50 spins, no need to chase bonus scatters for long rounds. Even over 5000 spins is not enough, sometimes it takes longer period to hit bonus round that can pay very low multiplier. For protecting bankroll, doing less than 100 spins per slot is good idea.

True sometimes you can get a bonus round at 1 spin.  I also experience when the slots are in feeding mode.  No matter how many spins we do, scatter is just too hard to appear, and when it does, I got a trash bonus round.  The same goes with playing Troll Hunter II, I noticed when playing too long and I hit another bonus round, after two or three prior to that, most of the spin on that round doesn't connect.  So yeah, I think if we want to play defensive, we can opt for jumper mode.

One of the reasons on why slots do really get much interest despite of being a boring type of game since you do only press that roll button or pull the lever is that it do really give out the thrill and entertainment.
Its true that it does really give  out chances on hitting good multipliers which you cant really able to hit or get on any other games offered on the market.
Behavior or acts will really be entirely depending on someones preference or reactions towards their gambling activity.Some might be that having jumping in one place to another
and some do really just stay up.

This seems to be the pattern of the game or is it just like that because somehow I'm trying to familiarize the pattern everytime I play but I'm not intending to play long I just jumped to another since I felt that the machine has a pattern that it won't give much after a long game or after a short game/winning, something like that. Though we need to begin with what money we can afford to lose or else we ended up losing everything in the process.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I do not know how people playing slots, but from math and probability theory it's better to use jumper strategy. Let me explain why:

Probability of your winning still the same, regardless your concentration or time spent before the monitor. So, if there is no big difference, why you should waste more of your attention or time? So just few big bets - and let your luck to decide is it your day or not. You will get to the same result in all other ways, just will lose more time 

I'm against 'one and done' bets as it kills your other possible chances at winning. Slots is obviously a game of numbers, and the more time you spend playing, the more chances you might have in getting a win. Your losses also add up to that so just be very wary on managing your budget. People gamble to win and to have fun, and I don't think there's much fun to be had when you lose instantly with all your budget in just one bet.

I think there are many possibilities when it comes to strategies for slots, for me this is something that does not influence much, my strategy in slots is simple basics, make small bets and play in a linear way, I do not bet too much because I know I could losing a lot of money, slot machines sometimes tend to excite one a lot and it may be that one of the emotions that it causes can easily lose, this is something that cannot be controlled so well, but it depends on the person's way of playing, for In general, it is best to apply the strategy that the player likes best, but with balance control.

Well, I very much respect the ways of playing of each one, but according to my experience, or my opca experience, playing under patterns in a slot is not something highly recommended, because you will most likely lose, the only pattern that I see feasible is that of using money constantly, that is, making constant bets so that the money pays off and increases the fun, at least that is what I do, when I play slots what I do is distribute a balance that I am totally willing to lose, I do it to have fun and I don't worry about winning, I just use that money to have fun, of course sometimes I win, which I don't have planned, but it's well received.

I have to agree. There's no pattern in slots but rather our bankroll should last, at least, in the long run, as the more time we play on the slots, that will give us the higher our chance to hit those nasty wins and crazy bonuses like free spins, etc.

But what matter here is, regardless of our approach in playing slots, always consider taking a break after a big winning or currently experiencing the worst loss.

Don't get carried away as that will result in regret in most cases.

Option B : Do you jump between different slots, play for a while and then jump to the next slot?

The same with the others, it's convenient to do this strategy. When you think that you're not getting any luck with the current slot that you play with, you just jump off with the other to test your luck, and so on and so forth.
I guess there are slots players that are also jumping from one casino to the other casino if they're also not getting the luck that they're expecting because there's the belief that luck might be on the other casino.

I think it's normal to do this when you feel that the luck isn't on your favor. I believe jumping from one slot to another could be helpful for you to reassess the situation you are currently in and will let you indeed test what are your odds in playing. But of course, this still has to be done in moderation. Jumping from one slot to another with a little to no mental headspace because of consecutive losses could also result in further losses in your part. Because we all know that playing and betting with unstable mind could let you lose control and instead be controlled by your emotions. But overall, this is a subjective matter and any of us must do what suits us the best for greater chance of winning.

Thats true. I dont jump to slot after slot because I believe the longer I stay, there's a possibility to get something. Of course its not guaranteed but if you're only playing for fun you're not really concern about winning.

But what matter here is, regardless of our approach in playing slots, always consider taking a break after a big winning or currently experiencing the worst loss.

Well said. We should not forget to do this regardless of if you win or lose.
