    I normally cashout when play thru is achieved, but I always play to the next feature which a lot of the time busts me out because I end up with no much to withdraw so I play on.

    I never try to hit a certain number to be able to cashout, when I've seen enough free spin rounds and played long enough I roll out completely. And if I still have time to Gamble I see out the day on a free chip.

    The only time I tried to hit a number was at 3Dice when I won $50 bucks on a Bronze loyalty tourney. My wagering was about to come up done and the next feature ate up a bit to much and left me on $995 I said when I started with I think nearly $200 over $1k I wanted at least $1k to withdraw. It was almost certain to get me that but dead spin after dead spin then the feature left me on $995 so I played on and zeroed out. The sick thing was after I ran dry I remembered I had over $5 in comps that were cashable.

    I normally gamble like this: I play 100 spins at the lowest bet size, then I up my bet and gamble my whole balance within 100 spins, so If I have $100 left after 100 spins on minimum bets I bet $1 to I hit feature or bust out, sometimes I up my bet when I get a good win on the base game depends on the slot. Low variance slots I start out on 50 spins. If I'm up after the first feature I leave the slot completely even if I still want to play the slot. If I roll my balance up I wouldn't repeat the process with bets bigger than $5, when the wagering is nearly up and say I have about $60 left to go I would play 50 spins at 0.15 cent (low variance slot) then up to 0.45 a spin to the next feature, then cashout.

    As this is a gambler advice thread this is my 2 cents on taking either free chips or loyalty free chips.

    I see a lot of posts on this forum about players winning big on free chips when they are a regular depositor at said casino and they wish they hadn't taken the bonus in the first place.

    My advice to this problem would be to play only the slots you would never play with your own money.

    Progressive

    Most people here use progressive staking. But I am afraid of casinos making games tighter for progressive players and high stakes. I played thousands and thousands of spins between 10 - 30 cents, and max 150x bet.
    Then I had once 600x bet with 9 cents, once x 1000x bet with 5 cents, and finaly once 2000x bet while playing guess what .... 1 cent. Thats it.
    In B&M casino I reguraly got 1000x bet, and was in small profit without bonuses. Your opinion ?

    It is entirely possible to have a separate return for each coin denomination. It is standard practice in Las Vegas and well within Gaming Commission rules.

    Perhaps this is a 'horses for courses' scenario.

    As much as we'd love to turn a small deposit into a large withdrawal, common sense tells us that's unlikely to happen. If, in the past, I've deposited £50 I tended to low roll in the hope of getting that to £100, then £200 and beyond, without really setting a limit of withdrawing. Countless times in the past I've gotten that initial deposit up by x4, x 5 and beyond but rarely withdrew. The first time I ever played at an MG casino I turned a £20 deposit into a £6000 withdrawal - it's never happened since, well not to that degree.

    Things have changed though, even with small deposits I was able to get some decent play time out of that said deposit but over the years the enjoyment of small deposits, low-rolling and getting decent play time (for my money) has greatly reduced, the 'fun' went out of it, and this was one of the reasons I virtually stopped playing.

    Just recently I decided to 'go back in' and picked a couple of (what I thought) were decents casinos. But nothing's changed really, the old tried and trusted method of small deposits & low rolling to get some decent play time still doesn't seem to work, which is a shame because the fun element is still missing...so I'm not sure what the answer is.

    It does show how times have changed over the years...I deposited quite a significant amount at an MG casino (I won't name names just yet) over the past few weeks (awful habit resurfaced for a mad few days) and they were quite happy to take my money without so much as a twitch...I ask to withdraw a measly $100 and suddenly I get the Spanish Inquisition...I don't have the documentation they are asking for so I don't know what I'm supposed to do My point is this...times have changed and so has online gambling so what once worked, re the subject of this thread, doesn't now. So if anyone does have the answer please let me know- cos if was still fun then I'd still play.

    Turning $25 into $1000 or more takes patience, but mostly luck. There are several methods you could use:

    The two I often use are as follows:

    1.Play a decent size bet first off on a small deposit. I did this 3days ago on an MG Casino. (I had cashed out about $10k already on BDBA after hitting the notes x 5 in the base game on a $22.50 bet >>> See Winner Screenshots. I often go off the rocks and bet insanely, but cash out when I win)....

    In any event, I did not want to carry the Bet high or Bust attitude to my next session so, I started with the 100% match up to $25...$50 at an MG to play with. Started on $1.80 bets on BDBA (High Variance) and managed to hit the FS quickly. Got up to $500 from that. I then dropped my bet size to between 0.90c and $1.20. I managed to (over a day or two) convert this to $3000. Cashed out $2500 and left about $400 to play with... Up and down on that balance and eventually bombed out.

    I would suggest you play a High Variance game if you make headway earlier (at a bet size that can last your balance and give you at least 400 - 500 spins) and move to a few lower variance games. Trust me, the $10 and $20 hits you get there, can tally up. I also often leave a slot after getting 30x upwards on a win. I don't stick around after winning 30x or more in the base game or feature unless the Slot is paying. If i have lost say $100 and win $30, i try to stick around to break even or peak a few $$ above my start balance on that game.

    I always want to leave the slot in a profit, whether it's $5 or $100. This ensures that I have a few $$ extra to move onto the next game.

    2. I deposit a small amount, say $25 and low roll on a high variance game ... I love BDBA so I would use this as a reference. I play 0.27c to 0.45c spins until I get the feature. If I don't get the feature and drop to say $15 or even $10, I move to another game where I know 0.18c may get me $5 - $10. I move on to games like Spring Break or TS1. 0.09c to 0.45c (dependent on balance) until I hit something decent.... I will repeat the process and go back to BDBA... then to other low variance games. The lower your bet on a small balance, the better your chances of hitting something and upping your balance or subsequently upping your bet for a bigger hit.

    Obviously, this is not gospel, and boils down to luck. It has worked for me a few times and I was able to cash out decent sums. The last was about 2 days ago ...$2500 and previously (about 2 months ago) I turned $10 into about $3800 at Ladbrokes. I have had the odd $400 to $900 in between.

    Good Luck, respect your balance, don't think you are invincible on any balance (I'm Guilty) and don't wager off the charts. Making money is NOT Instant...unless you go for the Kill or hit a Progressive. Have patience to play at lower bet sizes. Even when I'm sitting on a $1500 balance, I'll still play only 0.90c bets on BDBA...
