Slots playing tips

Slots are largely a game of chance with little player skill involved.  The outcome of the spin is totally out of the player's hands and the bet choices are reasonably limited. As a consequence, there isn't a great deal of game strategy that players can apply to influence their returns.  But there are still a couple of golden rules that you should always follow when playing both online and traditional slots.

Play the maximum number of coins...

Without doubt the most important rule to follow when playing slots is to play the maximum number for coins (ie 'bet max') each spin.  The reason for this is that almost every slot game rewards maximum coin play by offering a proportionately higher payout for maximum coin wins.  The following pay tables are examples of this:

You'll notice that in pay-table 1 that the jackpot for playing 2 coins (3,000) is three times larger than the jackpot for 1 coin play (1,000).  Therefore, the return offered for maximum coin play is proportionally larger than that offered for single coin play.

Similarly, a jackpot for single coin play in pay-table 2 pays 500 coins, while the jackpot for 3 coin play pays five times this amount (5,000).

The above two tables are typical of slots pay-tables.  Invariably, players will be rewarded for maximum coin play by higher returns for jackpot wins which means that in the long run, this type of betting will always return more to the player.

Does this mean you have to bet a lot per spin?  Absolutely not.  Most online slot games offer play in a number of coin denominations.  If you don't wish to bet a lot per spin, choose the smallest coin denomination and then bet the maximum number of coins.  There are plenty of online slot games offering penny per coin bets.

So, lets say you are happy to bet around 50 cents per spin.  You are playing a 5 reel, 9 line online slot that lets you play in coin denominations of $0.01, $0.05, $0.25, $0.50, $1 or $5.   One choice would be to play $0.50 per coin, and one coin per spin.  A much better choice would be to play $0.01 per coin, 5 coins per line and nine lines per spin for a $0.45 bet per spin.  For a similar bet amount, you will qualify for the favorable returns of maximum coin play, and  if the slot is a progressive, qualify for the progressive jackpot.

You don't have to bet more to improve your odds, but you must bet the maximum number of coins per spin.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
