Staying Alive
I have had considerable success betting low on slots, and I mean LOW!
Recent runs, relative to stake size, have been fantastic.
Last week, I went for the promo at Jackpot Factory on the new "Jackpot Factory" slot. I bet in the range 0.30 to 0.75, with a spell at the end on 1.50 (per spin). I ended up £300 up, having peaked £500 up, and managed to wager over £7,000 in the process (this would clear an EZBonus balance of 7000/30, or £/$230. Today, on one account spinning Thunderstruck at 0.18 (in a tournament lasting all day), I have wagered nearly £4000, am ahead some £200 on the day, and am placed third. I have just had to restart the slot while writing this, as I have had my THIRD monster bonus round at £103 (from an 0.18 bet!). This has to have been something pretty major, but sadly I missed it. It's not always like that, another entry started with £300 of bonus cash and I lost the lot at 0.27 and 0.45 per spin.
On Monday, a similar tactic on Munchkins netted me £300 back of my £400 deposit, and over £500 in prize money as a bonus to use in todays tournament. I may well be able to retrieve £300 in a cashout, plus perhaps £200 or more of further prize money for Monday.
In short, I would attempt to polish off this kind of bonus betting really small on a few of the slots with free spins, hoping that I will have a largely break even experience. Sometimes, I try the 3 reel slots like Double Magic on the lowest 0.25 bet, or Sonic Boom at 0.05 or 0.10 I often set autoplay to limit deviation to around £25, and then move on, or if I win, have another go, perhaps cutting the loss limit down to £10.
As well as finishing the WR, there is the chance of a modestly decent hit to add to the bonus you are trying to get at.
An alternative, better if most of the bankroll is bonus, is to hit one of the slots that are not too tight with fre spins with a small number of spins with a fairly chunky bet. I prefer Munchkins for this, perhaps at between £4 and £11 per spin, hoping for a decent bonus round. If the slot is loose enough, it will deliver, possibly even a series of bonus rounds. Naturally, there is a high risk of losing the lot pretty quickly.
