High Rolling versus Low Rolling-Odds

[roygen]

Are the odds of winning higher when low rolling ?

I have on a few occasions played $5 a spin and have never been able to reach a balance of more than my original deposit,subsequently I have played between 25cents and a $1 and have done very well on numerous occasions.

Is it just my bad luck when High rolling or do the odds of winning actually change depending on bet size? Thanks

What software is it?

I play mostly RTG

The chance of winning is supposed to be the same whatever line bet you have.

At Microgaming there is absolutely no doubt of this. It feels like the bet size doesn't matter at all.

At RTG I can win 1000x my betsize with lowrolling but I haven't been able to do so with higher bets.

This is of course in free spins and I am not sure of how independent each spin is at free spins.

But, the main conclusion is that if you believe in the software beeing totally random it doesn't matter which bet size you have.

I think it's just a question of variance - your experience could have been the opposite if you had hit something substantial on your $5 spins.

In my experience the odds are the same. The point is that everything averages out in the long run, so you would expect to get closer to the average after 5000 spins then after 1000 - the same number of spins you get for $5000 on $1 per spin and $5 per spin respectfully.

Hope that made sense.

Just for the record: I was in no way encouraging $5 bets over $1 bets. Remember that (given that you get the same odds) you are going to lose money at 5 times the rate.

If you get your thrill "low-rolling" - don't up your bet!

Clearly understood- Although I still get a thrill at low rolling, the thrill factor is enhanced playing at a higher bet LOL. Dont worry i still wont bet more than I can afford to lose. Thanks again for your input Cheers !!

I don't know if it's luck or not but I find that whenever I break the 1 dollar per spin barrier I start crapping out. I was playing that RTG mermaid game last night for 2 dollar spins and it was almost 300 spins before a bonus feature. The bonus feature paid about 60 bucks. I can get that on a quarter sometimes. Hidden Riches was the same. Another 300 spins at least and the bonus paid 70 bucks. That's after about 600 dollars in wagers. I had bonus after bonus at 1 dollar and once I jacked it up to 2 bucks the bonuses disappeared. Same thing happened with MG. 1 dollar did fine. 2 dollars I couldn't hit a bonus feature to save my life. Of course I haven't done this often enough to know if it was just luck on those spins but it has made me suspicious about wagering over a dollar a spin.

This is exactly what was happening with me, hence my question here. I would like see more input on this from other players. Mean while I will try a bit of experimenting and share my own results when I have them. Thanks for your input
