Cold or Hot Slot?

[AbuBhakar]

Got curious about the title? So am I!  

I recently discovered the live RTP feature on the casino I'm playing right now. It shows data on the actual RTP of the game in a certain time frame. This shows what slot is paying the most and slot that doesn't pay at all.

RTP(Return to Player) -  is a term used in gambling and online games to refer to the percentage or prizes that will be returned to a player depending on funds deposited during the game initially. Return to Player is one of the ways to attract players.

I'm still in the discovery phase of this feature and I don't know exactly what's the best working strategy. Some users said that it's good to use a hot slot or high live RTP because it's consistent in giving payout but other users use a cold slot or low live RTP for a chance to win a huge multiplier since a slot machine that recently pays huge amount is very rare to payout again some huge amount on short period of time.

I don't think that players though are going to look at RTP. I must admit that in the beginning, before I played slots on online crypto based platforms, I don't know about it.  However, even if I understand what RTP is, I just played on slot machines that I enjoyed and wanted to test. So for that is the key, just enjoy the game whether the machine is defined as high volatility.

Just remember that this is pure luck base game, so whatever the RTP is, if lady luck smile on you on your first spin then you might hit the bonus round or give you a good payout.

I agree, to some players RTP doesn't matter that much sinply because they are aware of how pure-luck games work. Either hot or cold slot, if you are unlucky, then you'd lose. I doubt there are players or is player who consistently win on slots, dice, and other pure luck games, I doubt that there's such thing. Bigger RTP won't guarantee winning 'coz we are talking about probability only.

If such timezone promotes certainty, then most of its players should be rich by now and all players would play on that certain timeframe. I'm not saying slot providers are fooling people on their data but there's one thing players are not seeing; there are timeframes wherein rewards are often given to the gamblers by playing but not with the ratio of those who win and who lose. So I guess things are just the same to both classification/category.

I'm not a hardcore slot player but I'm always playing what's the current slot games because it's already proven to pay for the day. You might not experience mega win but at least you have a chance to be on the profit side unlike hunting a huge multiplier on cold RTP because there's no guarantee that cold slot will play during your game.

I think the cold slot strategy is only for hardcore slot hunters because it needs a huge bankroll to hunt. There's no certainty on what you chasing on this strategy so I typically skip this one.

I didn't know about the "cold slots" strategy. As I knew so far, the most advised one where you should play were the slots games with highest RTP percentage, as you have extra probability of making profit. But the idea of cold slots also make sense, if you are pursuing a single valuable shoot. The choice must depend on the personal preference and personality of each gambler. For me, I don't like low winning chances, because it's quite frustrating to play for a long time without being rewarded with anything after all. I prefer to win lower prizes, but consistently, so "hot slots" is my pick.

This reminds me of my grandma, who used to meticulously write down all the numbers that were drawn in each round of the lottery. Then she filled out the slips and chose those numbers that were "cold", i.e. they had not been drawn for a very long time, in the hope that in this way she would increase her chances of winning. Ah, Grandma, always armed with her trusty pen and a determination to outsmart probability itself. We used to joke that she had become the unofficial lottery historian, preserving the sacred records of numbers like ancient relics. Well, she may not have won the lottery, but she definitely won the title for the most dedicated number tracker in the family!  

I think that the same can be applied in this case as well.

It really doesn't matter if the slot has been paying out a lot in the last xxxx spins or if it hasn't. There is no such thing as a machine is due either. RTP is determined over billions of spins. There is nothing to say that a slot will not hit 10000x in back to back spins or if it will hit 0x for the next 50 spins. Basically, you're relying on luck when you play slots.

I am one of those players who always looks at the RTP, if the RTP in one of the games is high then I will jump right in to test it hoping to have a high chance of luck. But now I don't really take it as a reference, because it turns out that casinos don't always give a good game when the RTP is high, and not infrequently it's just a lie, a manipulation to make someone more excited to play. In the end, it's still about luck where you will win when luck comes your way. On the other hand, I often feel strange, why is it that when I really play seriously with the goal of wanting to win, it always ends in defeat, but when I'm not too serious and play carelessly, luck often comes? Maybe psychological factors really influence when playing.

The key to the RTP is the time frame, which is normally MILLIONS (sometimes BILLIONS) of spins. So, armed with that knowledge- just play the games you enjoy playing.. Unless you have a million bucks and years of play time to burn.

If it's a slot game, I don't use any strategy but just set how many bets I can afford, buy the Bonus Buy feature or immediately use auto mode to play. I also never change the bet amount to bet, and usually, if the slot game doesn't have a Bonus Buy feature, I will immediately choose autospin 50, 100, 200, and so on, depending on my mood.

I also don't think much about the RTP, as I only want to play the slots I want. If I finally win, it will be because of my luck because I know that playing slots requires luck to win. And sadly, luck won't always be with me, so all I have to do is click Roll

The RTP key is not a timeframe.
Almost all slot games have RTP but not all of them are high because some already have low RTP and you will only be able to find very high RTP in newly released slot games.
Talking about money in slot games, only those with large capital can survive and have quite a long game session, but this is very risky because whatever amount of money you have when you use it to play slots, it can disappear in an instant.

Hahaha, To be honest this hot and cold is always available on the stats board of every game that has a multiple result. I always finding this hot and cold numbers on roulette and craps but I don’t pay much attention on it because it doesn’t affect the outcome of the game. Does your grandma manage to land some massive win with her strategy? Maybe she is right.

As I understand live RTP, It involves all the spin of the players playing that same game. This is the reason why the live RTP is different on the general RTP of the game. You are pertaining on the main RTP of the slot while the live RTP is percentage of player profit on the specific game.

Although it’s really not gonna matter what RTP you are using because slot is still a luck based games with high house edge which is why this game sucks for me.

I used to pick the ones in the middle 80%-90%, as I thought my bankroll wouldn't bleed as much, but it still happens. I wouldn't put that much attention into the live RTPs because you're still going to lose anyway, so you might as well pick the games you want to play and have a good time instead of filtering your game list due to the live RTPs. If others found success through the help of live RTPs then good for them, but they might be a coincidence since any of these slots can quickly go from hot to cold and vice versa.

You are entirely correct! Each spin on a slot machine is independent and unrelated to any previous or subsequent spins. A random number generator (RNG) chooses the outcome of a slot machine, guaranteeing fairness and randomness. The idea that a slot machine is due or paying out a lot is a widespread fallacy.
It's important for players to understand that playing slots is a form of entertainment, and winning or losing is primarily based on chance. It's crucial to set limits, play responsibly, and not rely on strategies or patterns that suggest an advantage.

I approach the live RTP in random manners.  Sometimes when the RTP is lower than the standard RTP, I think of the possibility that it accumulated enough and is ready to give a huge win so I try to play with the lower live RTP but for limited spins.    While when I am playing with an RTP way higher than the normal RTP, I bet bigger amount see if it will trigger in 50 - 100 spins.  If it does not trigger I go back to may normal bet amount and spin until I hit the bonus round.

I also agree slots result is random whether we trigger the bonus round or not, hit huge or not is dependent in our luck.

[klidex]

Don't think anything about hot or cold RTP, all I know is that slot games are just based on luck and I myself have proven that when the RTP looks below 95%, I actually get a big multiplier, but when playing slots with an RTP of more than 95%, I don't get any wins. get and this is purely about my experience.
So for me it all comes back to each other's luck.

Where is this website getting the RTP data from? I looked briefly at their website and they're suggesting they have a database full of slots with the live RTP but they're not including where and how they get that data. Some casinos will provide the house edge to their users outright but the immediate RTP isn't something they would disclose, so where did they get this from?

I would probably have to disagree with you on that. I very much think that many gamblers, even the newbies, are looking for a way to research the data and make the most money (or lose the least amount of their money) out of their gambling experience. So in that regard, RTP is taken seriously by many people, even if in the end, it is all about probability and statistics. What you refer to as "luck". But both probability and statistics are the valid mathematical infrastructure of reality. So saying simply that fate cannot be challenged, would be wrong.

But I do think most people might be too lazy to do any research or planning in the gambling world...

[Slow death]

I'm wondering to what extent this changes anything in the long run for a person who is playing, because at the end of the day people end up with a loss because they are games where people are counting on luck, so it won't make much difference to stay looking at the RTP, I very much doubt that when people are going to play they are looking at things like the RTP, people focus on putting money and playing and if they hit a big multiplier they will celebrate and if they lose they will continue playing until they lose all their bankroll

if they have free spin they keep playing, probably free spin and bonuses are the only things that people most pay attention to and want in casinos and then comes the desire to hit a big multiplier to take the big money won to use in the real world, The truth is that most people want to win big, they don't think about things like RTP and playing to win little, for them it's all or nothing, and they keep playing when they lose. so I don't see it relevant to know much about live RTP and in my case as I do sports betting I don't even think about RTP

Personally, I'd choose the guarantee over higher profits. Which in this case a hot slot will provide. The fact that it gives you surefire profits or at least increased chances of getting something out of playing with one makes it hundred times better than waiting for the time that you get a jackpot in a cold slot, which I would tell you is a long-ass time considering that it doesn't pay a dime to its winners. There's still the question of enjoyment and whether these slots are fun to play but that's besides the point, in a case of prizes, having some sort of guarantee that you'll get them is still a much better choice than the promise of getting more from something that's not usually giving its players a win. You'd become another hopeful on the latter, and a happy camper in the former.
