When you talk about enjoying what Lady Luck has in store for you, there probably is no better game online than an online slot game – simply because the slot games use a random number generator, and this ensures that the game is truly random. It’s Lady Luck at her finest. However, what very few people realise is that, although the game uses a random number generator, there are some ways to pull the odds in your favour and enjoy the game a lot more. As a matter of fact, this whole randomness is merely effective when you look at it from single game to single game. Those with a long-term view (and willing to stick to a plan) can benefit greatly. Here’s the beginner’s ultimate guide to playing slot games online.
Choose your game
Whilst there are many slot and jackpot games available, not all games are created equal – some are more complicated than others, and some have higher payout ratios (return to player ratios) than others. Furthermore, some are simply more fun than the others, such as Deal or No Deal, for instance. This popular TV game show which can now be played online has plenty of TV winners who took home the big prize, such as the very first winner Laura Pearce, Alice Mundy (who took the Banker’s Gamble and won), and Suzanne Mulholland, who all received a whopping £250000.
Check the slot reels
Traditionally, slot games have three reels – but most slot games online now have three, four, or five. Furthermore, check how many symbols there are on the reels, and how often they occur. By doing this, you can statistically calculate your odds – and by checking the possible winning combinations, you can come up with a plan and strategy on how to better your chances.
Understand the pay grade
This goes back to the previous two points. By checking the pay grade, you can get important information in two ways. Firstly, you gain information about the return to player percentage – choose the most favourable one. Secondly, the various winning combinations will help you decide your strategy.
Choosing your bet
It’s always wiser to choose small bets so you can play for a long time – winners think long term.
Spin away
Once you’ve decided on your bank roll, your bet limits, calculated your odds and formulated your strategy, the real fun can begin. Spin away and see where Lady Luck takes you. Remember that it’s all about having fun.
Here’s something that will be to your advantage – whether you play for pleasure or whether you play to gain some money: the bonuses often offered give you excellent benefits, so it would be silly not to go for them. They often include prizes and multipliers, and they could either increase your chances of winning or lessen your initial input. Either way, they’re there to take advantage of.
