Are online slot games purely based on luck, or is there any skill involved?

[shanz]

Of course, it’s all about luck, which is essentially random chance. There is no skill involved in depositing $50 and repeatedly hitting spin until you win. Every slot has a set percentage of winning, and if you’re lucky, you might hit the jackpot, but it’s not common. Based on my experience, no one can win every day unless they are extremely lucky. The question is, are there any slots with better chances of winning?

Actually, it depends on each player's preferences, but yes, a higher RTP for a beginner is better. For that purpose, I won't talk about specific online slots, but I believe I can help you find the right ones by following these simple tips:

Check the RTP: Well, it's a basic rule, slots with a higher RTP generally offer better long-term winning potential. I personally prefer games with RTPs of +95%.

Volatility: From my perspective, smaller wins with less risk are better for beginners and it's a good responsible gambling practice. So make sure to choose the one according to your risk preference.

Bonus Features: Slots with bonus features like free spins, multipliers, or bonus rounds can provide more opportunities to win. You know, it's up to you to find the right platform that responds to your expectations.

This is just my point of view, and I believe there are members on this forum who are more experienced than me and can add more details regarding this matter

Obviously luck based game only. I can’t even find a way on where can you apply skills on slots games since it’s just spin and win game without any strategy or bet modification aside from the spin speed and the optional increase on the bonus chance by paying extra.

Skills is something that you can improved the game winning percentage using it which doesn’t applicable on slot games since the games is always random as is based on the RTP set on it.

It is impossible to have any skill in slot games because it is purely based on luck and nothing more. This is why people that don't have any skilled game that they know will prefer playing slots when gambling because it does not involve any skill to hit the jackpot. Whoever is gambling on slot knows this and that is why you see more of females playing slot games. Slot is 100% of luck.

Logically and practically it could be two different answers.  I find people waste good luck they may have by not accepting they were especially lucky and being grateful enough not to immediately expect more.   Thats how the saying comes to say you make your own luck I think.

I do believe you can influence your own outcome even with the slots.   First of all I dont want to play a game I dont enjoy playing, thats unfortunate if you only care about the money.   It should be fun or whats the real point when the odds are in fact against you as all games have a cost to them.

But also gratitude for your wins on the game should allow you to walk away happy as and when is best to do so.  Being greedy brings bad luck, we could reduce this whole question to maths and expectations on that basis but there is no certainty in any route.   I go with what works for me on the day, if I win I hope to repeat and usually that means coming back multiple days you wont get all the good luck on one day imo.

RTP can’t be feel with few spins since it’s just very minimal. I think the hit ratio/volatility is the feature which newbie should consider on choosing slot games for newbie high volatility slot games usually very frustrating for newbie due to its very brutal dead spin.

Provider like Play’n Go typical provides mid range volatility games that gives frequent small win and easy to trigger bonuses that is perfect for newbie since they can enjoy the feeling of winning frequently despite a not so big win in value.

Are online slot games purely based on luck, or is there any skill involved?

In my understanding, the world of gambling is a game arena that is based on luck and fate, if you are lucky and have good luck, someone can get what they play and bet on and vice versa, bad luck, whether they gamble in slot games, poker, dice and so on.

If you talk about strategy for me and if you ask me personally, specifically in slot games, my experience during the game is that in slot gambling games, someone can apply a planning system or idea, you press the spin button, the slot spins automatically, you are not in war, you have to have a strategy to fight the enemy, we are currently in an online game, the slot spins stop, your luck is getting the jackpot, RTP, bonuses and so on.

We can't beat the system because it's really been programmed for lucky results on that specific days or instances. That's what I've observed for so many years that online casinos raging over time, and only luck could bring us a winning profit.
Their upbringing was too unique to analyze, and I've noticed that this activities associated with every users log in were monitored brifely by casino administrator. The house always wins, and even though you won a huge amount I don't think your emotions will sustain when you bet or roll your money because in the long run they'll get back everything if you don't stop and take a break on your bets.

I don't even think I need a wholesome experience to know that I could be lucky today, hushing with the bag and tomorrow, the story changes...

Check the RTP: Well, it's a basic rule, slots with a higher RTP generally offer better long-term winning potential. I personally prefer games with RTPs of +95%.

Do we have casinos with a higher RTP than 95%? I don't know any of such -- especially since the house edge is as little as 5% left of the gambler's total stakes..

Games with smaller odds usually have a chances than games with bigger odds... what makes it more complex is when the selections are more than 2 games...

One thing I want to add is, check whether someone ever hit the highest multipliers on the games you want to play. If I don't see someone ever hit jackpot, I think that the games either rigged or the return/profit is bad. How can be a big casino that has a lot players but no one hit the highest multipliers? it doesn't make sense.

It depends on the slot provider. Because some slot providers offer an insane max win while the volatility was set to the maximum level that makes the chance of hitting huge win is very low.

We can use sweet bonanza of pragmatic since until now no one hits its max win even though it’s the most popular slot games in every casino. I’m not sure if the game game is rigged or not but there’s something wrong on the program of this slot games because it’s impossible that no one max win until now while ridiculous amount of spin being pour on this game every seconds.

I like what the other members of this forum said more. It's the algorithm. Not luck. Now there's what we call chance and that is when you are at the right time to make the bet and the algorithm was exactly at when you come in.
I did remember one time when I won x600 in that genie game by FaChai in my first bet. I was shocked that it went to the bonus round or free games in other games, and suddenly it went mad at giving a high multiplier and then I hit the said amount. I didn't even think about betting for more because I knew it would just be taken back from me. So, I withdraw everything without leaving a dollar behind. Then, when I was ready to play I just deposited the minimum amount.
It rarely happens and I was at the right time. It's not luck because there's a system happening behind all those games.

Regardless of what kind of game, as long as its gambling games, I believe it’s purely luck based. Even with sports betting, you can’t win if you’re unlucky in time of betting. Most particularly with slots, wherein the house obviously creates a big edge over its players, that’s why no matter how promising those games are, we are always left at the losing end. That’s a fact, hence we need to withdraw as much as possible every winnings we have and won’t wait for the casino to get them back slowly until we’ve lost everything we have.

It cannot be played with any skill that can help the gambler win all the time; if the player is able to experience multiple wins a few time, that is just their luck. The casino has already programmed how the game will run, and it's mostly in their own favor and if you are lucky to hit jackpots at the right, the best thing you need to do is to withdraw your winning and leave till next time, because if you stay persistent playing repeatedly to experience same luck, the casino will take back your winning. If anyone depends on their own skill in slot games, they might just end up losing tons of money trying to recover their losses.

Actually it's luck and nothing else, casino games are not like sports games that one can predict and that makes it to be a luck based games. Since it's casino games are all programmed it should that the games and the odds are always against the gambler since the gambler can not predict it. Jackpots are something that fall on a random account and it's always a lucky person that goes home with the winning/jackpot. But if it's a greedy gambler he wouldn't like to withdraw the money but he will find more and most of the times it doesn't end well for the gambler.

Slot machine is a game category which you have very little control over the game's settings. It's one of the most unprofitable gambling games, so definitely skills have nothing to do with slot machines. It's a game of luck and superstition, and also one of the easiest games to play, becoming one of the favorite gambling games among elder gamblers. It's really entertaining to play, because the themes are fun and when you win prizes it displays awesome graphics.

Probably that is the catching side of slots, as gamblers keep playing them quite frequently, despite the high rates of losses and complaints after the gambling session is ended. Personally I have some good memories with slots, especially as a newbie, fascinated by the possibilities of profit the game promises. Those were good times.

From little experience with slot games, they are purely luck-based. I have heard gamblers say that there are some periods of the day when one can have a high chance of winning, but I have not been sensitive enough to dictate this move. Of course, new gamblers need to start small and gain experience as they progress. This is because they will make some mistakes at the beginning, which might be costly if the bet is high. Attractive bonuses will attract more gamblers since it gives them higher chances of winning. Sports betting is the right type of gambling you want to contribute to the outcome of your bets

Slots games is already known to be a luck-based game, which is included in other luck-based casino games like hi-lo, roulette, dice and others. Even if you deploy the known strategies such as martingale, still, the results would depend on your luck. There is no such mathematical formula that can give you high winnings.

In the long run, you can say it is unprofitable because you will end up losing because there is the factor of house edge that you can't beat. So when you feel you are already on the positive side, better call it a day and go home with some of your winnings.

[crwth]

You cannot increase your chances of winning by playing slots because that is already fixed depending on the casino you are playing at. Maybe the skill you can build is knowing which machine or game would probably give you the best outcome for your games. I know it is just intuition, and there is no evidence about how you will do it. It is just luck.

[Agbe]

Really this slot games issue is confusing sometimes because if you play and the game is in your favour and you win well and tomorrow when you play that game, you will not have one single win. From the experience I have gotten, I can't really say it is lucky because you are not playing with your experience of games but it is already configured so it is the computer that Plays for you so you don't have skill. But if you have luck the game might favour you. At first when I played slot games, I thought I will be the one to play with computer like the way we play in real video games but it was the opposite.

You made the title of your thread look or pass the impression that you are asking a question that needed answering from other users, but amazing, opening the thread, I saw that you simply asked a question in the title and used the body or message area to answer the same question, it's not forbidden though, but you should learn to title your thread better so you don't get other users confused.

Anyways, you are right with you that you have said, winning in or on slot games is purely based on luck, but when it comes to finding the best slot games where winning chances are higher than the others, I definitely will also agree with you but then, there are also times when one can get lucky and win a really good amount from slot games that some people thought was not good or ideal to play on due to its low RTP, I've seen this happens a couple of times, and this have made be to stop being selective of which slot game to play, I simply play that which is my favorite, and if I am lucky, I win, if I am not, I simply bear my loss.
