These are some tips for winning at popular online slots.
Keep playing even if the slot doesn’t pay out immediately
Slot machines have an accumulation cycle after which they pay out winnings.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to know when the slot will pay out winnings as they are random.
However, online slots have an average Return To Player (RTP) of 95 percent.
Sooner or later, the slot you are playing will have to pay out winnings to you.
Continue playing on the same slot after a win.
It is said to be a good idea to make a few more bets on the same slot machine even after a good win.
Sometimes it happens that both slots continue to pay out winnings.
This happened, for example, in these cases:
● 120,000 for a young 83-year-old woman at Hey Sushi.
● €200,586 won on the Extra Chilli slot machine in Celano.
Especially in the last case of the Extra Chilli slot win, we also know how high the stakes were.
The winnings were achieved with three bets of €2,000, €1,250 and €2,000 each, as described in the article linked above.
Of course, there is no guarantee that you will win again by playing these amounts or continuing to play after you have won.
However, there are many stories online about big wins accumulating by adding up several wins in a short period of time. However, you will hardly be able to win large amounts of money from just one game, except on progressive jackpot slots.
Do not play jackpot slot machines if they have recently paid out jackpot money
Progressive jackpot slots are designed to release the jackpot payout randomly, but they are unlikely to release two jackpots in a short period of time.
Some jackpot slots even go so far as to amass jackpots in the millions, as in the case of Mega Moolah, which released the record jackpot of €17,879,645.12.
In general, many slots of this type reach jackpots of more than €100,000, so it is better not to choose slots whose jackpots are lower than this value.
Playing at peak times
Most gambling in casinos takes place during moments of rest or relaxation when people simply spend their time playing.
These moments are mainly:
● after lunch
● late afternoon after work
● evening after dinner
At these times, gambling is mostly concentrated and it is more likely that someone will hit the jackpot on a jackpot slot machine, for example.
Play responsibly and with common sense
As mentioned above, it is important to play according to your financial means and never overdo it.
You must consider playing slots as just a pastime and not as a way to make money.
Check the payout ratios
These values are accessed in different ways:
● Return To Players (RTP)
● payout
● payout percentages
They still show the same thing, namely the percentage amount that goes back into the player’s pocket.
Every month we update the payout percentages of the casino games we review.
These values are required by law in all casinos and you can check them before playing.
In addition, it is one of the values we enter when testing slot machines. You can find our slot machine tests here.
You may have noticed that most online slots have an RTP of 95%.
In contrast, this figure is 70% for bar slot machines.
If I had known this a few years ago, I would never have played a bar slot machine.
Tricks for playing slots for free online
There is actually no trick to playing slots for free online. Many online casinos allow you to play for free to test the games and sometimes registration is not even required.
However, the only purpose of playing for free is to try out the slot machine, because only by playing with real money can you get real winnings.
Even if you play with the no deposit free spins bonuses offered by casinos, you will not receive any real winnings.
Yes, it is true that you play for free, but all winnings are in the form of a fun bonus and not real money.
This can still be a big advantage.
However, don’t expect any real winnings when you play for free.
Bar Slot Machine Tricks
There are also some special tricks for bar slot machines. They are more or less effective and more or less legal.
Two-Euro trick and pub noise
Bar slot machines have two containers in which coins are collected.
It is said that the slot machine starts paying out winnings once both containers are filled with coins.
To determine if the two containers in the slot are full, experts of this trick listen to the sound when the coin enters the slot and falls into the container.
If the sound is high, the containers are empty. If the sound is lower, the containers are probably full and the slot machine may be ready to pay out winnings.
In the latter case, the players jointly insert two 1-euro coins into the slot machine.
According to legend, the slot is supposed to release winnings, but we prefer not to investigate this.
Minnow trick
The minnow trick is absolutely illegal and often some players get arrested just for trying to use this method.
A counterfeit coin attached to a wire is inserted into the slot.
Thanks to the wire, the coin can be pulled out and used again and again.
As mentioned above, this method is illegal and there is a risk of arrest.
One of the most egregious arrests occurred in Riccione, where three men were arrested after playing a slot machine for seven hours using exactly this trick.
Carabinieri arrested them and found 1,800 euros in change in the car, as well as the famous minnow. A review of the gaming room’s surveillance cameras later confirmed everything.
