Which MG slots pays BIG ? Had enough of small wins :p

High variance slots by nature offer the biggest single hits, but also the most severe dry spells. You have a better chance of a big hit worth cashing out, but you will have far less of them, and most deposits will disappear more quickly than if playing lower variance slots.

Another way of getting something big enough to cash out is to bet higher amounts per spin the lower the variance of the slot. A common mistake is to bet big on a high variance slot, and never see one of the big hits until you run out of funds. This can lead to the erroneous conclusion that the software has cheated you in some way. Microgaming have some slots that LOOK low variance, but are anything but. Those "ways" slots would seem the lowest variance because you effectively bet on every possible "line", but the reel layouts are clevery designed to make the games higher variance than many of the 9 line slots. The variance on 5 Reel Drive is pretty low, even though it is a 9 line slot. This is because it has no bonus rounds, and does not have particularly rare payout combinations below the jackpot.

BDBA is VERY high variance because of the 5x multiplier in free spins, which coupled with the 5x multiplier wild can give some VERY big hits during the free spins. Many "ways" games have a similar big hit structure because of the use of stacked wilds, sometimes only offered in the bonus round. Although the payout might only be 1000 coins for 5 wilds, you can have this on EVERY line for just ONE of several million combos, with quite a few big hits available when the sets of stacked wilds are partly in view, and combine with the other symbols.

I have had, and seen, the MGS "Fruit machine" games give the biggest hits of all. 10-15K from a 10 credit bet is much more common than, say, the jackpot on Thunderstruck. The biggest run of all seems to be a 70K run off "Game On" posted in winner screenshots, and on a 10 credit bet. You would need to bet MUCH higher to see this kind of action from a video slot.
