New to Casinos

[mina1929]

I have been playing at a few casinos for the last 2 or 3 months now and not having any luck i'ts prob the slots I choose but I am very new to all this and still trying to learn about casinos and I do play at only accredited casinos like 32 red, casino mate and jackpot city as I like the games there. I often play fat lady sings, lions pride and tigers eye. Any hints on how to choose good slots and when to play them. I have not a clue, call me silly if you want, lol just some advice please. I don't bet big, highest is 0.75. Any advice would be appreciated and I know sometimes just got to be lucky and other times it is making a good choice.

The only way you can find out what slots you like best is by playing them. I'd suggest you try some in free play mode and see which ones are your favourites before wagering your money on them.

As for when you should play them, there's probably no right or wrong time to play since the slots are supposed to be 100% random

Thanks for that, I did play a lot of them in free play and there is many I like but I always tend to be hooked on the same three. I should just try a variety of the games. I will have luck coming my way soon. lol

I was exactly the same, would only play a limited few slots, but since I started lurking around CM, i started playing more and more slots. DOA, WishMaster, Piggy Riches, Twin Spin, Immortal Romance, I wouldnt have played any of these if I hadnt seen the winner screenshots threads. Try a few different ones out, try maybe 25 - 50 spins at small stakes and see how you get on and you must just find a few new favourites.

Hi mina and welcome to forum.

Firstly the main thing when being new to casinos is to make sure you only play at reputable ones so when you win you get paid no problems but I see you are doing that. If you also go through the accredited list you will find other great casinos with different styles of slots. No need to join the casinos if you don't want you could try all the slots for free and see if theres anything you like.

But as for finding good slots and when to play them. Well as you know its all luck and hitting the slot at the right time. Their are so many slots and everyone has their own favourites and lucky ones.

Out of the 3 you listed I only play one of them and that's fat lady sings. One of my all time favourites and ive had many a good win on it. Maybe you have just been unlucky on it but I find it often throws out some great winning bonus rounds.

Tigers eye I remember playing but found it so hard to win anything on. But I guess you are already playing the way I do. I have my own set favourites and when I deposit I say I will play different games but most of time end up playing the same set yet again, sometimes with luck other times without lol.

Considering you're playing MG slots mainly, I'd recommend these:

Immortal Romance
Thunderstruck (not Thunderstruck II)
Avalon
Mad Dash
Little Chief Big Cash
Gladiator
Mermaids Millions

(ones of my favs on MG)


Try playing them in Auto-Play until you get the bonus feature

That is going to be my next move, try them all lol

Hi Paul,
I know exactly what you mean, I have to be strict on myself and try some other games lol

I quite like Fat Lady Sings its one of the few slots that over about a year I play consistently and has given me alot of nice small wins. Base game is good won't hit anything huge but you will consistently win something back even if its under x1 your bet. Bonus game is great though has all the stuff for big wins (bonus money, multipliers, stacked wilds).

I personally don't like Lion's Pride or Tigers eye neither of those games caught my attention. I'd much rather play pure platinum than tiger's eye - 40 lines stacked wilds and 3 choices in free spin round ranging from 10 spins to 50 spins. Lion's Pride I feel is a slot to avoid - 100 line game with standard 5 reels feels like a waste of money whenever you get dead spins. No doubt it can pay alot if you hit big with stacked wild reels but when you don't your money goes too fast and from limited experience playing this I have got bonus round twice with crap all pay and the base game just sucked my balance down the sink FAST. If they expanded the reels to give you more chances it would be good but otherwise I wouldn't play Lion's Pride greater than 40 lines - however if you are doing well on this game by all means keep going

If stacked wild games in base and free spin are your thing there are alot of choices with MG that you may like if you haven't tried - League of Fortunes, Pure Platinum, Alaskan Fishing (and its clone Robin Hood), Game of Thrones (huge potential for massive payouts but its very high variance), Fish Party to name a few. I can't say when its the right or wrong time to play a slot because of their random nature big wins can happen at any time but also be aware that long losing streaks are just as common. Play what you feel good playing with whatever money you can afford to burn and you'll have fun regardless!

Also if you can try other providers like NetEnt, Play'N'Go, Novomatic, WMS etc. even in free play mode and you'll probably find it more fun to vary your play across those brands because they all have really good slots too. Stick to accredited sites! You don't want to deal with issues when trying to get your money and its your best bet for a hassle free experience. Ever since I've joined here its lead me to other great casinos that are definitely worth trying out. Good luck!

Welcome!

To all these good advises, I just want to add one thing. Learn about variance and what high or low variance slot is. Just search the forum with this word. In sort:

High variance = big wins
Low variance = many wins

As you are new to casinos I was just going to point out variance as no one had done so but the last poster quote beat me to it

Variance is very important. People have recommended Immortal Romance. It is undoubtedly one of the best slots ever but is very high variance. I lost £200 in just under an hour on this beast on 30p spins! Other times it can throw you a 500 or 1000 x bet

Search different slots on the net.

At 32 Red I would recommend Hound Hotel or Rabbit in the Hat. Both have good RTP (return to player) and are relatively new. You can play rabbit in the Hat for 9p a spin

With immortal romance I tend to limit my spins as although it can be a beauty when it pays it can also leave you feeling you haven't got playtime for your dosh!

Mix it up. Have fun and please read guidelines for gambling responsibly. Slots are great fun but highly addictive.
