Slot Machine Tips

Risk Less - Play Longer

One strategy you can take is to try to spend as much time as possible on the slots, to keep your hope and fun alive as long as possible. You last forever at the slots when you make the amount of money you start with last as long as possible. To do that, start with the lowest coin size and only switch to a higher coin amount if you are winning. The longer you can play without risking any additional money of your own, the better your chance that you will line up that winning combination for a big payout.

Play the right machine

When trying to decide which online slot machine you should spend your time with, consider the size of your bankroll and your priorities. If you are hoping for a very sizeable jackpot, make it a progressive machine. If you'd rather play for a longer period of time and would be happy with a modest win, then find an online slot machine with a relatively small jackpot, but with a paytable that offers a good range of small to medium payouts. Look for machines with good payout rates, few lines and a good coin range.

How much money?

Decide in advance how much money you are going to invest for a particular session, and stick to that limit. Don't get carried away, hoping that if you make another deposit your luck will turn and you will recover all of your losses. It's one of the traps casinos hope you'll fall into. Select an online slot machine where you can change the coin size with a click of your mouse. If things don't go right, switch to a lower coin size. Make your money last and sooner or later a win will come.

Go for the jackpot

Most slots pay a higher top jackpot for maximum coin play. For example, a three-coin machine might pay 300 coins for 1 coin, 600 coins for 2 coins and 1,200 coins if three coins are bet. In this case and on all progressive slots it is very important to play the maximum number of coins.

If you do not want to play maximum coins, I recommend that you, either look for a slot machine that does not pay a bonus for maximum coins, or reduce the coin denomination so that playing maximum coins is not that expensive. With a bit of luck you will soon experience the thrill of collecting your first online slot machine jackpot!
