What You Need to Know About Slot Machines

In a casino, there are different varieties of slot machines that people can play on. The two most common classifications are 1) straight slot machines (non-progressive) and 2) progressive slot machines. Straight slot machines have a predetermined schedule that will always pay out the same amount for every winning spin.

Progressive machines, on the other hand, are more interesting. You’ll recognize these machines by the display at their tops, showing the accumulated jackpot. As the name suggests, the jackpot is progressive – meaning that the amount steadily increases as more and more people play the the machine. The jackpot’s prize is directly proportional to the number of bets made by players.

What to Wager

Most people will say that a maximum bet will increase your chances of hitting a winning combination. A huge percentage of slot machine guides on the Internet can attest to that. But remember, a maximum bet is not always the best bet. Keep in mind that slot machines are different from each other. Playing a maximum bet on some machines CAN give you higher chances on winning

For example, on progressive machines it is better to bet a maximum amount. Should you hit the jackpot and had bet lesser than the maximum, you will not get the progressive accumulated total. Instead, you will be given with a sum corresponding to the payout chart, which is lesser.

But this is not always the case. Most of the time, machines do not differentiate between maximum and minimum bets. Player get equal chances on hitting the jackpot no matter what amount they choose to wager.

If you can afford it, try to bet on all the paylines of the machine, especially on progressive slots. More paylines = more chances of getting a winning combination in each spin.

Knowing Your Game

The best way to win at slot machines is to study the slot machine that you are playing. What kind of machine is it? Non-progressive or progressive? Study the payout percentage and hit frequency. Determine the pros and cons of every machine you’ll play. And be aware of some slots’ “bonus features” like wild cards or an extra game.

Maximizing Your Money

Knowing the limitations of your wallet and financial patience will surely be beneficial in any type of situation, especially in games where the chances of losing money are high.

If possible, play lower-cost machines. It may have a lesser jackpot but it will allow you to maximize the amount of coins that you will play each time.
