How To Win At Slots

Be it for the sheer thrill of it or that innate desire to latch on luck, chance and fortune to win easy money, people love slot machines.

Whether it’s those old-school, land-based level-pullers or some of the more more-advanced online video slots, you simply can’t deny their overall popularity.

Fun part aside and keeping it in accordance to our main goal here at this site, here is a big question for all of you to dwell upon - How to win at online slots more frequently?
We know it’s not the first time you’ve heard this question. And for that matter, you must have already looked around to find an answer.

There is indeed a lot of advice out there - some better than the other - but they all seem to be peripheral tips and tricks intended to help you beat a technically advanced mechanism.

And let’s face it, that’s hard to achieve. So just what can you do to improve your chances of taking some cash from slot machines?
The advice none of those tips and tricks out there will give you is probably the best one you can get - luck isn't the sole reason you can get to win at online slots.

So now that this misconception is out of the way, let's have a look why.

In essence, slots machines do not rely on chance, luck or fortune to determine who gets to win or not. These mechanical devices deploy a computer program called a random number generator (RNG) which constantly generates numbers which ultimately determine where each reel will wind up after you hit the spin button.

This number generator is not called RANDOM without a reason and sooner you accept that there is no way to predict what’s going to happen on each spin the better your chances of winning - instead of curling in a corner crying - will be.

These generators will be programmed in such a manner to provide the online casino with a mathematical advantage. In the long run, the house always wins, which ultimately does not mean you can’t run away with a quick-fire win. You can, but it will have plenty to do with how you choose a game to play at.

Online slots are generally divided into two categories - random and progressive.

The first ones boast a fixed jackpot which usually implies a smaller and less significant win, compared to progressive slots that owe their ever-increasing prize pool based on how many people play on a given slot.

Progressive slots are by nature a more appealing variant, but they will not yield higher payouts more frequently since all slot machines pay at different rates. But in order for you to run out of a casino with a life-changing sum in your pocket, someone else needs to spend a lot of money to top up that progressive jackpot.

Therefore, random slots with a fixed jackpot will - by a common-sense analysis - provide more frequent wins, albeit with lesser amounts of money.

Now, this is where another handy tip that could help you make most of these random slots comes to play. And it’s quite simple as well - pay attention to slots’ RTP.

The Return to Player (RTP) ratio will determine the payout percentage of every single slot game out there. The higher the RTP, the better your chance will be to win in the long run and head home without losing big.

Great thing about online slots is that they will all have RTP stats published in the paytable section. Now reading it without understanding it will mean little. And in order to understand it we do need to know how it’s calculated.

RTP = (total amount returned to player) / (total bet invested by player)

If a game has an RTP of let’s say 97%, this would in theory mean that you’ll end up getting 97 or your currency back on a 100 stake. Still, it rarely is the case since RTP is applied on the long-term average, rather than a short-range probability.
RTP is closely related to the volatility of the slot with high-variance slots increasing your chances of having a losing session - but at the same time increasing the value of your possible win.

If you want to find out more about different RTP values offered by different slots, take a look at this site.

In the end, after all of this boring technical stuff behind the excitement of your favourite slot game the best advice anyone can give you on how to win more frequently is to play with your head instead with your heart and to always do your homework before hitting that flashy spin button. 

Oh, and of course we should mention what's probably the best way of getting a good fix of spins with some prospects of winning - slots tournaments of course.
