MASTER THE ART OF ONLINE SLOTS WITH THESE EXPERT TIPS

By Kendall Jenkins on 2024-04-03 07:58:00

While online slots may be a game of chance, there is still plenty you can do to maximise your chances of winning and finding satisfaction in every game. Slots are one of the most popular online casino games around, and there is now a great variety of free slots available to play online.

Whether you are brand new to the game, or just looking for ways to help improve your chances of winning, reading up on slots advice is a good idea. Here are our expert tips on how to master this fun online game:

Understand the odds - Return to Player percentages

As with all casino games, the chances of winning are defined by the game’s odds. In slots, each game will have its very own Return to Player percentage (or RTP) and this is usually listed in the game’s description text.

The RTP explains the amount of money a player can expect to win on average from playing the game, written as a percentage. So, for example, if the RTP for a slot is 96 percent, the player can expect to get back £96 for every £100 they bet. 

The RTP is calculated across thousands of spins run through a simulation in order to find an average. However, it is important to remember that slot games use a random number generator (RNG) and so the chance of winning or losing with every spin cannot be predetermined. 

The use of RNGs is to ensure game fairness and authenticity. When selecting which slot game to play, you might want to look at which game has the highest return to player rating in order to give yourself the best odds. 

Utilise promotional offers and bonuses

There are tons of slot game sites on the internet, meaning players have a huge range of choice in games and slot operators. Therefore, in order to entice the player to play their slots, most sites and slot gaming apps will have generous promotional offers.

For instance, a slot site might have a welcome deposit bonus for new players when they sign up for an account and deposit cash for the first time. One bonus specific to slots is free spins, which can be offered before or during gameplay.

When utilising any offer, be sure to check out the wagering requirements and ensure you fully understand the terms and conditions. You can sign up to multiple sites and make use of each of their offers too. 

Only play on licenced online casinos

Online casinos and slots sites are regulated, to operate legally the site must hold a valid licence. This licence ensures they adhere to strict standards regarding fairness and player safety and security.

Licence information can usually be found in the footer of the webpage. If they fail to meet requirements, they can be fined or lose their licence altogether. Therefore the licence can act as a reassurance that they are taking measures to protect you and your personal data. 

Choose the right games

Slot games have all sorts of themes, from film franchises to mythical creatures, these themes add excitement to the game. Look for themed games that suit your individual interests and you might find them more enjoyable.

You should also look at the game's features. Perhaps the slot has bonus rounds or mini-games that appeal to you. 

Utilise game demo modes to try them for free

If you aren’t sure how a slot game works or if you will enjoy this particular slot, it can be wise to try it out in demo mode if this is available. Using demo mode is free and means you aren’t wagering your own bankroll before you are ready to commit to a game. 

Place smaller bets to stretch out your bankroll

While being a high roller at the casino seems like a glamour affair, using up all your cash in a short time frame means the fun will be over pretty quickly. One great feature in slots is the low minimum bet sizes, meaning you can place lots of small bets rather than a few larger ones.

Manage your bankroll effectively 

When playing any casino game, it is imperative that you only wager what you can easily afford to lose. Slots is an easy, thrilling game and should be played for enjoyment and not considered to be a guaranteed source of profit. 

Decide how much you are willing and able to bet before you commence spinning the reel. Then, you must commit to this amount and not go over, even if you think you have hit a winning streak.

Know when it is time to take a break

Lastly, slots is a fast paced game and so it is usual to play lots of games in a short space of time. Remember to take breaks and avoid playing if there are distractions preventing you from giving the game your full focus.
