Max betting and Video Slots

April 28th, 2008

There are many different variations of online slots, but of particular note are video slots. This type has many different variations in itself. Unlike some other traditional online slots, video slots do not require you to play max bet unless a progressive jackpot is offered. Playing max lines might be a good idea, but a max bet is often not necessary, as you can often bet more than one coin in a line.

To illustrate this point, a 20-line slot with a bet of 10 coins per line usually has a max bet of 200 coins. Even playing with the penny coin sizes will result in $2 a spin. In most instances one coin per line is perfectly fine and you can play for as low as 20 per spin. A drawback to this however, is that your jackpots won’t be as high, because your wins are multiplied by your bet per line. An online slots game with a 10,000 coin jackpot and a max bet of 10 coins per line will then pay a 100,000 coins win at maximum bet. Playing with one coin per line will in turn only result in a 10,000 coin jackpot. That is the trade off between a low bet and a bigger win.

Basic slot tips

April 12th, 2008

Much like in a real casino, online slots is probably the least expensive and easiest gambling game to play on the Internet. If you characterize gambling as a game of chance then online slots is the epitome of that definition. There is absolutely no skill involved and no way to influence how the game turns out. You simply pull the lever and hope for the best!

There are some things to keep in mind however in order to increase your enjoyment of the game and to at least improve your chances of walking away with some money in the bank.

First of all, you should check out the odds of the game, whether they are video slots or free slots. If the game requires a higher value of coins, the odds are probably a bit higher.

Second, find out if the game is a three reel or a four reel one. You have more chances of winning a three reel game but a four reel game will probably pay off higher.

Finally keep an eye on your bankroll. You should decide how much you are willing to spend before you even begin playing the online slots and stick to it.

Online slots and issues about winning too often

April 8th, 2008

Many people have wondered if they can be banned from online slots simply for winning too often. If you think about it, it really wouldn’t be a good idea for online casino operators to do this. Most of them are savvy enough to know that they always have a better chance of winning than you do, whether you play video slots or free slots. In fact, the more you win, the more they will want you to keep playing so that they have a chance to make their money back. What they often do however is stop giving cash bonuses to players who win but always leave right after. If there are any problems with online casinos, the customer is usually able to resolve the situation quickly and the decision usually goes in their favor. After all many online casinos are pretty large enterprises and they would have to provide good customer service in order to keep operating. It wouldn’t really be beneficial for them to not have you come back! If you do have a problem related to online slots that is not resolved by the company to your satisfaction, then you may want to take it to a higher authority.
