Strategy

**Mickioh** · 16th February 2011, 02:51 PM

Anyone willing to share their strategy at online casinos. I have been playing for about 2 years and have yet to win anywhere near what I see posted here. Play primarily slots at $1 a spin. When I get to $50 balance, go down to 60 or 80 cents a spin. In looking at the forums, I see some huge wins and don't understand why my luck is so bad. Sometimes I will go up to $2 to $5 a spin and seems like my money just evaporates! Anyone have anything they can share. I know it is mostly luck, but I'm getting very discouraged. Thanks!

If you can find a bonus that has a wagering requirement (WR) of 20x playthrough or less, I would take it. Use the extra money to boost your bankroll and play a big larger. I play higher limits per spin when its "their" money and I am working my way through the WR. I personally typically deposit $100-$200 and then get a 100 - 150% match bonus (sometimes more, but "more" usually means a higher WR)

If I have $200-$400 or so at start of play session I will bet $2 - $5 per spin for awhile and see how it goes. I only play the video slots,not the 3 Reels. If I am winning and still working on WR I increase my bets each time I hit a bonus dropping down if I lose. Keep a close eye on where you are in relation to WR at all times. The instant you complete the WR, cash out the majority of the money leaving a small amount to play with while you wait for the withdrawal.

I usually set "auto-play" at 100 spins or a loss of $100 so that I don't inadvertently blow it all without realizing it because I got called away and wasn't watching the computer. If I hit that stop loss either on #spins or $$$, then I move to another game and start over at a smaller amount with same set stops.

If a game is cold, move on. If a site is cold, move on....always somewhere esle to play.

FWIW,
Diane

Winning these days (with bonuses) is much harder than it used to be just a few years ago.

Diane has given some excellent advice above, but there are also other factors like which games you are playing and what you do when you get a good winning run, or a bad losing one.

I have been pretty successful at casinos over the years, though I obviously have the advantage of a MUCH bigger selection of casinos & bonus to chose from, since I am not in the USA.
My "winning methods" are detailed on my websites, or you could just look at my Casinomeister Blogs to get a clue as to which "betting patterns" and games I have succeeded with. Obviously I have only blogged winning sessions (bonuses) - I've also had loads which didn't work out so well... No-one wins all the time.

Good luck!

Hello you

I would think that people on this forum are of course very interested in gambling, and they probably gamble often ( more than an average customer ). So don`t be blinded when you are watching winner-screenshots. Players often uses a lot of money to get nice screenshots.

I must send an overdue "shout out" to KasinoKing for his website, wealth of info and willingness to freely share his experiences with this forum. He has been patiently answering my PM questions for months and I always come away so much smarter and aware of how to play the "game" of online casino gaming.

So thanks to Kasino King and everyone, check out his info. After CM, its the nuts!

Ps.........especially valuable is the reminder that no one wins consistently. Its hard, so when you do have a nice winning streak enjoy it, but don't get cocky, it won't last....But its fun when the ride is "on'

Ha Ha - I figured as much. Play everyday and more than I should. Never ever hit a jackpot. I have won $1000 on a $1 spin 3 times, but that is the best I have done. I probably don't cash out as much as I should cause if you keep playing, you will almost always eventually lose it. Now that I have more casinos to choose from thanks to this forum, I will cash out at the minimum and then go to another one. I never take bonuses anymore - never works out for me. Guess I have a lot to learn.
