When you play the slots, you may be surprised at how much fun they are and you may keep playing over and over. Casinos know this and this is why they have so many different slot varieties. But is there a strategy you can use to win when the odds are stacked so heavily against you?
In short, there is no strategy that can help you win, but there are some methods you can use to ensure you get the most from your money. Since so many slot machines work the same way, it helps to have some knowledge about them, including their payout and percentages, that can help you place your bets in a more educated way.
For example, those machines with straight payouts never change. The more you bet the more you could potentially win. In a progressive machine though, winning the jackpot does not depend on how much you have bet, but rather on pure luck.
Three reel machines usually use certain symbols to denote the top prize. Get three sevens, three stars or three of whatever the winning symbol is and you have won. There are also other combinations that can give you a good payout too. While the jackpot is quite modest, the bets are modest too, so these are great for beginners. The other slots with many more emblems have a higher jackpot. But this is harder to achieve.
The progressive machines are those with huge jackpots that can be achieved, but your odds are the same as anyone else’s. Some machines also offer mini games and bonuses and all manner of other enticements such as free spins. This is part of what makes the games so much fun and though you are more likely to lose your money than walk out a winner, the possibility of hitting the jackpot is part of what makes slots so much fun.
So if you have any strategy that you should stick by, it is set your minimum bet total and stick to it. Winners are those who have enjoyed the game and not bankrupted themselves in the process.
