Strategies To Win Playing Slot Machines

This could be the world’s shortest article as, frankly, there isn’t a ’strategy’ that will ensure you win playing slot machines.

There truly aren’t a bunch of hidden techniques that will turn you into a big slot machine winner. But, all is not lost. Nonetheless, a good deal of common sense and practical knowledge will mean that you – the gambler reading this – can make smart decisions that will give you bigger wins and smaller losses.

So, if you want to get the most fun, and, potentially, the most cash out of your slot machine play, here’s a few things you should keep in mind.

Tip #1 – Check the game before you play.

Before playing any casino slot machine, please make certain you know what coin size the game is set to. All online slots are automatically set to one of the larger coin sizes. So, if you forget to check this, you could end up betting $50m per spin instead of the 50 cents you wanted to.

I have made this mistake myself when first playing online slots. I loaded a slot game that had a coin range from 1 cent per line bet up to $5 per line bet, and my intention was to bet about 5 cents per line at first to get to know the game.

Well, long story short, I never checked what the coin value was set at when I first started playing and after 4 pulls I was down $20 instead of $2! Big difference, so beware.

Tip #2 – Even if you can only afford minimum bet, make certain you bet on every line of a multi payline slots game. Cover all the lines available, otherwise you may miss out on some winning bets.

If your bankroll will not support betting on all paylines, then I would highly suggest moving to a slot game that offers less paylines so you can cover each one it does have. Many gamblers have played a multi payline slot game without betting on all the lines just to have lost out on some huge wins.

Tip #3 – Take advantage of the ‘free play’ mode before making a bet on any slot machine. This way you can learn how the game works and you don’t have to risk any of your cash on a game you find you don’t like.

We recommended this to all slot players, no matter how experienced. If land based casinos had this, many players would walk away from a slot machine without spending anything once they saw how it work.

Tip #4 – You don’t need to ‘bet max’ every time on every game. Contrary to what some people believe, this isn’t the way to win the slots, it’s just a way to lose you money faster.

So, don’t believe that old myth that the only reason you are winning is because you are betting the maximum coin value. But, if you do have the money, obviously, you’ll win bigger with a bigger bet, so go for it.

As slot machines are controlled by random number generations, the amount of your bet has nothing to do with the combinations chosen.

Tip #5 – This isn’t so much a tip, more some good advice. Just enjoy playing the games, only play with cash you can afford to lose and, above all, don’t expect to win.

Keep in mind that gambling is a form of entertainment. Stop worrying about how to win, have fun and just play the games.
