Might start playing Slot machines

[Bubble27]

Hey all

I play at casinos only for Roulette and sometimes have fun on blackjack.
Never had i ever thought that such winnings would have come from slot machines. (ones that i've seen posted from people here). WOW!

If i knew that i would of try my luck on the WR of 32vegas (not recommended)

I read up on the slot junkies & KKs' website. Good tips and all thanks

Im holding back for some reason, think im gona spin my money into the ground, might have more fun pissing it on walls around london heh.

Duno, Any tips?

Im going to try my luck at 32red. Its a 50£ bonus this month. Im going to match it and spin £1 spins.
Only god can help me from there on...

hehe, welcome to the Club...
Try the good old classics at firdt (ladies nite, springbreak, thunderstruck). You can get reasonable wins at 0.90 per spin.
And if you are lucky with hitman - well

The odds between online slots and 00 (American) roulette probably aren't that different, a little ofer 5% house edge.

With roulette, the most you could get paid on one bet is 35 to 1. With as slot, you can get paid substantially more for one bet.

Besides the pretty graphics and stuff, I'd probably go with the one that has the level of variance that you're comfortable with.

I'm more a blackjack/baccarat person. Not only is the house edge much smaller, but the wins and losses are much more mellow.

Thanks for the tips guys.

But with the roulette i would hit 5 wins in a row and im packing my bags if you know what i mean!

On the slot its more like spin spin spin and i place a 1£ and get 50p back!

I tried free play. Think with 200£ that ladbrokes gives you, i hit 300 odd and carried on playing. Lessons learnt, i think if it was real i would stop at the 300.

Test some of the feature video slot and you will be surprised by the sudden bonus.

The large wins relate to a large variance. Slots often put a good portion of the overall payout into rare big wins. Your bankroll is expected to decrease over time while playing slots, in some cases quite rapidly. However, you have a small chance of a big win, a much larger win than is possible with a single bet in standard BJ or roulette. The same could be said for other high variance games, include some video pokers and table games.

Thanks aka23. I got a question to that though.

You know some of these screenshots posted have like bet >£10 and a win of like >£20,000. Is that a big win?

I dont remember who it was, maybe simmo had it. £11 and won like £28k.
KK has a £50 and also won like £16k or something.

Are these big wins? Or do they just get a feeling to increase the bet and the 40p bet that was meant to give 100£ back is increase to this?

Cheers!

In my wildest dreams matey!
I'm a low-roller - my biggest win (last month) was $2,001.50.

It's very difficult to give advice to the new slots player, because people's opinions all vary depending on how lucky they've been on particular slots.
Basically all MG video slots pay something like 94-96% and all are capable of giving really big wins, but it just feels like some are better than others.

The best possible thing to do would be play all of them in fun mode for several 1000 spins each - but that would take a month of Sunday's!
I agree with mikepipe, try low variance free-spin slots like Ladies Nite, Springbreak and/or Thunderstruck first (all basically the same, but with different symbols). Then maybe Loaded, Dolphin Tale*, Prime Property, Santa Paws.
For pick'em slots I would go for Magic Spell*, CashVile, Age of Discovery, Cashanova*, Mad Hatters*.
* I personally would not play these at max lines; using either 17, 20 or 25 max.
Other players will no doubt have completely different suggestions.

Just remember, on average your chance of hitting the bonus features on all these 'single bonus' slots is somewhere between 120 - 150 spins, but can easily go to 500+
And even when you do hit the bonus it's entirely possible to win 3/5 of FA!
So start low and have a pre-set cut off point of how much you are prepared to lose before quitting & trying a different slot.

Good luck - looking forward to your Winner Screenshots!

It depends on your perspective. Some people consider "big wins" in terms of units won, some think in terms of ratio of win to bet size, and some use a combination. Note that while you do have a chance of getting a big win like the ones you listed, the more typical result is to bust and lose your deposit, and have a net loss over time.

I doubt many people play slots, other than progressive jackpots maybe, for their payout potential.
Other games have much better payout percentages so it is really down to how much you enjoy playing them.
They are a bit like marmite in that respect, you either love them or you hate them.
