Additionally, it's pretty much a given that if you don't play full bet on all paylines, you are playing worse odds. This is doubly true of progressive jackpots, which almost uniformly don't give you a crack at the progressive if you're not playing all paylines.

Basically, you gotta play max bet every round to get the odds they promise. Of course, then you're spending big bucks each spin so you can't get into enough spins to hit anything good.

Now I remember why I tend to play in play mode...
WRONG - for a random slot anyway. It is ONLY true where, in the case of a progressive, only ythe highest numbered payline is eligible to win a progressive payout.
