Slot Game Strategy 2

(continued from Slot-game-strategy.htm)

Where's the "Loose Slot Machine"?

Online casinos may have the "loose game", ones that pay out better, although it's not because of the random number generator. Each game is a virtual game, therefore each player gets the same odds. If you believe in loose slot games it is more likely to be their big marquee game just like the machine located at the main doors of a land-based casino. This is the one they want you to win.

Tip: Take a look at the casino's monthly winners list and see which games people are winning and then check out the reels, paylines, symbols and bonus symbols to figure out which games are "loose."

Slot Games Strategy: Calculating Odds

You'll need a calculator and a spreadsheet to figure all that out and each game has its own unique combination of reels, symbols, coin denominations and prizes. This slot strategy stuff can be hard work.

GalaxiWorld.com Casino as an example, has games using 1 to 8 paylines, 3 to 5 reels, bonus reels or symbols, hidden reels, double and triple bonus symbols and coin denominations of a nickel up to $100. Prizes vary from 10 cents up to over $2 Million. Focus your strategy on the $2 Million.

If a game appeals to you, count the number of reels and multiply by the number of symbols. If it's a big number, you've probably got some long odds when there's only one payline. Most times, the game has several paylines and that improves your odds considerably. The payout table though might tell a different story. It might show a good payout for only one cherry.

GalaxiWorld.com Casino has an 8 payline, 3 reel, 7-symbol slot game called 8th Dimension. It has double jackpot symbols as well as a 4X multiplier on two bonus symbols. It's fun, visually animated and suspenseful. This is one you'll like.

You really would need a complicated spreadsheet analyzer to figure out the potential combinations and their payoff. You can probably find one by doing a search on Google if you've got the time.

If you like playing time, then go for the nickel slot games but remember the prizes may be relative to your bet value. They'll keep you busy anyway. If you're playing to actually win some decent money, then dollar slots might turn out to be your best bet.

Don't Be Fooled

The slot games at the biggest casinos don't necessarily pay out better than smaller casinos who may actually have a better profit margin because of lower marketing costs. Remember that jackpot slots may be your best bet especially when the game has fewer symbols and bonus symbols.

Good Strategy

Manage your money well and play a coin denomination you can handle.

Blowing all your money on a few spins is not wise. Play the game that has the right number of reels, paylines and payouts. The more you play, the more chances you'll have at winning big. Good luck playing your slot strategy at your favorite online casino. Play long and may the progressive be with you.
