Strategy for Playing Online Slots

Casino slots are one of the most popular online casino games enjoyed by regular and new players alike. Whilst playing slots in the casino requires no actual skill unlike tables games where a certain element of skill is needed, there are still strategies that you should use to maximize your odds.

1. Choose a Game you Understand

Slots games are usually themed and have different paylines, the most popular being 3 line and 5 line games. These can include bonus rounds, scatter pays, full line jackpots or random jackpots. It is important to understand the game you are playing and to know the value of the symbols and what you need to get in order to win.

2. Select a Machine with Flexible Lines and Bets

Some slots do not allow you to change the number of lines played or to increase or decrease each line bet. These are usually progressive jackpot slots. For our puposes we recommend choosing a slots Book Of Ra Deluxe 6 game which allows you to be flexible.

3. Have a Predetermined Bankroll

It is always a good idea to have a set amount of money to play for each session on a particular game. As the point is to win money, once your bankroll has run out, it is not recommended to put more money into game. Although there is a small chance that the machine may turn, it is more likely that you will just be throwing away good money after bad which defeats the object.

4. Don't be Afraid to Switch Games

If your game of choice is just not paying do not be afraid to switch games. Too often players continue to bet on the same game out of a fear of "walking away" and missing out. If it's not your day on a particular game, change to something else and try your luck elsewhere.

5. Try New Games

Online casino slots are always being updated with new games being added to the popular online casinos on a regular basis. You should always keep an eye out for these (they often include promotions) and get to know them. As you can usually play the games for free in an online casino, use the freeplay option to test out the game before playing for real money, so that when you do switch to real funds, you are completely familiar with the game and its rules.

There are basically two strategies that players use when playing slots. They come in big, play max bet and hope for the best. On rare occassions this does work out and when it does, winnings can be quite substantial.

The second strategy is to start off with a small line bet playing all lines. Three things can happen.

1. No Payouts

The game is cold and nothing is being won.

2. Holding Your Own

The game is in give and take mode and you are basically holding your own, not really winning or losing anything.

3. Winning

The game is hot and your wins are exceeding your bets so you are actually winning.

With this second strategy option, the odds as you can see from above, are clearly in your favour. If the machine is not paying, then as your bets are minimal, so will your losses be.

However, even holding your own means you are not actually losing anything and you can have hours of fun without spending any money.

Now, if the game is paying you again have choices to make:

1. Walk Away

If you're up and you've won you should leave while you are ahead, afterall this was your original goal and even if it's only a small win, a win is still a win and over time, small wins add up.

2. Continue Playing

Depending upon how much you are up on the session, you can choose to conue playing but first it is a good idea to set yourself a limit. There is nothing worse than being up and then losing it all. If the game continues to pay, this is the time when you could take the chance and increase your line bet, basically using the casino's funds to finance your increased bets.

Although there is no guarantee of ever winning on any slots game at a particular time, having a clear strategy will put the odds of losing, and therefore winning, in your favour as opposed to playing willy nilly and hoping for the best.
