Hi all, can anybody give me a list of some of the ultra low variance slots that would be good for grinding out a wr? When I play I normally play the usual high to medium variance like IR, TFROL, Playboy, Battlestar Galactica (love that slot), Breakaway; however when I get to a decent profit and more than halfway through my wr I would like an option of grinding the wr on a low or ultra low variance slots which I learned from Chopleys videos (Thanks Chops). Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Cheers:)
 
You can try the 3-reel old-style slots as some of these, although boring, pay 97%+.
Avoid the 9-line 5-reel games like BDBA and Agent Blonde a nd TSI

As for 5-reelers, most are med-high variance.

Thanks Dunover for the tips:thumbsup: Can you suggest a good 3 liner old style? I have tried magic 7s in the past but I think RTP on that is around 95%

I find BDB 3-reeler is good for a session with low lose-rate.
 
Munchkins or its clone Twister are nice grinding slots, and you can basically set them to play themselves as well.
Thanks Chopley, they are added to my list. I would probably play them at 50p. I have played them in the past at 1.50 had some good luck some time but other times got a beating which is to be expected at any slot at that stake I suppose. I especially like that they can sometimes re-trigger several times during freespins and have potential to pay something decent.:)

I find this high variance.

Witches Wealth? are you not thinking of Lucky Witch?

Biggest win I have ever seen on Witches Wealth @ 9p was £8.40 on the bonus game, 5 scatters at this stake pays £4.50. (wilds count as scatters)

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I always know CM members have all the answers:D I tried the games in fun mode and they seem to be fun to play as well as help me grind out a WR. I can't tell you how many times I managed to get a good profit going and then when I am 70-80% through the wagering it all went to sh*t. This method doesn't give any guarantees of course but it does give me a better chance of getting through a WR with some profit at least.
I love slotting and I know there is no method to beat the slots but being smart about it might get better results (and make the sessions longer). Of course I will continue to play my favourites like IR and Playboy. The trick with these is to not stay too long on them if they are cold.

Cheers everybody.
 
Trust me Breakaway is treacherous...Did a lot of long sessions on it, as i first also thought the same, but i have experienced a few dead patches on it where my longest streak of dead spins was no less then 70. With dead i mean anything less then the betsize.
And that said, i have played back a few 1000+ bankrolls to zero with bets varying from 50ct. to 2.50.

Funnily enough i have really good experiences with BDBA, as long as you're ultralowrolling:) i have had sessions on it where i used a tenner worth of Comp-points and played more then 5K spins on it, where i peaked at around 40,- all on 0.9 ct bets.
But a really low variance slot is in my opinion Gladiator. I rarely play it anymore though:)

I agree on Breakaway it can munch a balance pretty fast even on minimum stake if its not in the mood.

I like Gladiator and have played it at 1.00 bet, would like to try it at 2.50 but that could decimate a bankroll pretty fast too.
On Breakaway I usually just play between 100-150 rounds at 1.00 to 1.50 bets, I have had some good luck on it and some bad but overall I think I am up on that slot. I would never play it at higher stakes though cause it does have those dead patches.
 
I like Munchkins and Kathmandu, but play them for variety rather than strategically.

Just to add I never switch to low variance slots to grind out because I feel that when the house starts to suck it doesn't matter what you are playing it will take you down.
Imo it's better just to take a break and play your normal games on another day.

I like Munchkins and Kathmandu too because of fast play and free spins come quite often. I am not sure about that last part, in my experience when the slots are hot they are hot and the next day or many days or months to come they can be quite cold. At least that has been my experience so I try to get while the going is good!

I do totally agree with that. Specifically with Microgaming they seem to be hot for an evening/early hours of the morning but then probably cold the next day.
That's really what I meant by 'taking a break'. Certainly NOT taking a break within a hot streak but taking a break the next day or two after the hot streak.

In fact I can't remember ever hitting big lines on Microgaming slots two days in a row but I've a run of big payline hits and bonuses in a single 'hot streak' many times.
 
I agree on Breakaway it can munch a balance pretty fast even on minimum stake if its not in the mood.

To give you an idea of the one and only time I have played BreakAway:

Spins - 1130
Wagered - 5,253
Payout - 5,752.74
RTP - 109.5%

It was the first time I tried the slot after having a nightmare run on IR (Again). Maybe next time it won't look so pretty :). Bets ranged from $3.50 - $7.

Thanks for the clarification :thumbsup: Same here some great hits on a hot session, then the next time I play the slots would be stone cold. Still I have to say MG is my favourite software by far. With RTG I am just donating and with Netent I resign myself to losing before I even start to play. I like WMS but I think you have to play with quite a large bankroll in order to achieve success with most sessions unless you get very lucky.
I have managed the largest cashouts so far with MG slots with the smallest deposit. Twice in the last couple of years I was able to turn 10 into over 500. I haven't been able to do that on any other software.

I am doing my research with regards to MG because I am hoping to get the 200% birthday sub at 32red next month so I will have a whopping 15,00 WR. I am going to try to approach that session as sensible as I can while having some fun and hopefully come out ahead in the end. I want to apply Chopley's technique with this session. If I win I win but if I bust out at least I want to have some fun before I do. Many times I have busted out in the past by betting on high variance slots when I am close to the wagering. This time I want to give myself a better chance by sticking to the low variance slots if I manage to get 70% through the WR.:)

Brave bets there Nate. I strictly stick to 1 or 1.5 bets for that slot. I have done well on it only having one or two bad runs. Once I tried 2.50 and it chomped up some of my bankroll very fast until i came to my senses and got out. Still its a fun slot to play, maybe very few monster hits but it gives out a fair many 75-100 times bet in my experience anyway.

Cheers
 
Of course you're rarely gonna get big wins on several successive days. It's often rare enough to be getting those wins in the first place. You're obviously free to play as you like I'm just saying there's no real patterns or anything alike because slots are random and they don't care whether your last spin/s won 10k or nothing.

I know that, I am happy with the modest wins with the big ones every now and again. I can say that I have had some monster hits on a couple of slots and then they went stone cold for months afterwards but that might be the overall TRTP adjusting. I am not an expert just guessing.
I was saying they are days when it seems every slot I touch pays good and then the next day all slots were stone cold. Thats the wave we ride when we play casinos and I okay with that:D I would love to hit a 10K win on a slot though, the biggest one I have had so far was 2800 in freespins on Mystic Dreams on a 1.50 bet.
I don't play as much now as I used to so I am looking for more time entertainment so playing smart with smaller bets on the higher variance slots and mixing in some low variance slots provide a bit more entertainment time for me.
Of course a cashout is always nice but I don't start a session thinking I am going to cashout. I play only what I am willing to loose and I approach the session thinking if I win I win if not so be it.

lol I just took this advice and played munchkins to try and get through some wagering. 60th spin I hit free spins and won $50 on 60 cent bets

Thanks :)

edit: another nice little hit. Thanks everyone!

HO HO HO, is my favourite slot MG slot.

Always find you get plenty of free spins and free spin rounds re-trigger quite often.

I like Twister as well, although I think HO HO HO is the better variant, as I get more features and certainly more retriggers. I like the fact that both have plenty of wilds on the reels.

Munchkins I sometime play, but find that it's almost impossible to get a decent 5 symbol win, just get the odd 10, J, Q, K.
 
Its threads like these that really do help people out. I had no idea what slots were low and hi on MG.

I deposited $100 on ladbrokes and got the 100% match.

Funny enough for the first little bit I didnt think a bonus was issued at all. And was just playing slot games. But they add it automatic. And my balance said $100 so figured I didnt get one so whatever. But I did. ladbrokes are in credits $2=1 credit. So my 100.00 was actually $200.

I hit $470 on girls with guns on free spins, $160 win on cashapillar. My balance was right around 300 credits ($600) and if it wasnt for this thread I might have lost it all trying to meet the requirement of $3000.

However as I said before, people suggesting the munchkin game as a good grinder game really helped. Thankfully for that game I basically left with what I started. Going up and down, hitting lots of free spins. But I did most of my wagering on that game. And because of the help of others here, I am cashing out $580 on a $100 deposit.

Thanks again.

I understand what your saying especially about the hot and cold impression that you have gotten. IMO very streaky. How long have you been playing Microgaming? The most I've ever won is $1000 and I've been playing them for two years (much longer than I should have). But I don't play them anymore so it works out, I've stopped funding their slots, and now I'm funding other things.

How long do you find a typical session lasts you? Also is it bust out without ever seeing above your starting balance? How about when your on a winning streak does it feel like everything you touch turns to gold? Also have you found that after a big win the games seem to suck back the amount of the win before you can get some decent playing time again? The TRTP shouldn't self adjust on a random slot (just so you know).

I've found it's just about impossible to win anything decent so it's good to see where your expectations are with entertainment :)

NO NO NO LoL, that slot has kicked me in many of times, not had 1 good win of that,
 
HOT INK

It has a RTP of 97.5% which is better than any other slot. However what really sets this game above and beyond, is that you can (with practise and patience) use the "respin" feature strategically on any given reel such that you can create the circumstrances in which your variance can be as high or as low as you wish! This takes a little while and you'll still need to keep spinning until the right opportunity presents itself, however if your observant, you can create a scenario where the variance is virtually 0!

Hi I have been playing MG for a little over 2 years. The biggest cashout I got was 3100 twice from a monster hit on Mystic Dreams 1.5 bet retruned 2800 during freespins and got 4 reels wild on battlestar galactica for about 2700. Both these hits were two weeks apart last summer. Ohh the memories.
Since then the largest cashout has been 800 but on average 400 when I am lucky. For the most part I do get some decent playtime from my sessions. I still prefer MG slots because they are fun.
