What would you consider a 'big' win?

[2Slots]

Following @Webzcas thread and some of the recent bonanza discussion it got me thinking 'what is a big win'. It must be different for everyone.

For me:
300x-600x: Allows me to make a withdrawal and maybe 'big' enough to play at least a few more sessions with the winnings.

700x+ - In my relatively short time playing slots I've had three 700x-1000x, three 2000x+ and two 4000x+ wins so anything above 700x I consider the starting point of 'big wins'.

What would you consider a 'big win'?
Is it dependent on how much it cost you i.e. 2000x is a 'big win' if it cost you 100x and terrible if it took 1800x?
Or relative to the slot's max win?

I view it as monetary value rather than a multipler of stake.

E.g If I am playing say 40p spins and land £200. I would say it wasn't as big as a win if i played £4 stake and hit £1,500 say.

Both of my previous divorces were massive wins for me

My current mrs hit the jackpot when she found me

I suppose it depends on the "Stake" itself.

Obviously, higher stake, you expect bigger burst numbers.

But if im doing my usual 0.20p bets, honestly, anything £50 above, is a BIG WIN.....

But again, considerations have to be taken in bet size, amount already played on the slot to get the "big win"....

For example.... would £50 be considered a BIG WIN, if it cost £100 to get it?

Big win is for me just anything worth value of withdrawing.

Take the screenshot below i just got, the casino would no doubt still consider this a BIG WIN!

Makes me realise I've 'gamified' how i play slots so much I only think in x stake these days rather than money.

For a while now I've been treating my bankroll like a game score and trying to not hit zero long term is my main goal.

as i mostly play playngo, 500x is what my usual expectations of a 'big' win is (£100 on a 20p bet) an 'ultra big win' as they call it.

 

[Kroffe]

With the stakes i play at (almost exclusively 10-20p) anything above €50 i would consider a big win.
But i would say that the choice of game matters as well, a 300-400x win on a Novomatic feels like a big win, a 400x win on Dead or alive feels like you just missed a wildline.

I think it's relative to your bet size, bank roll and expectations.

If you are limited and have just £100 for entertainment, getting about 400 out may be a big win.

1k plus and 400 may feel mediocre.

A few of us on the forum have seen this over the years - especially with streamers/content creators.

When they initially started and had not sold their soul, they would be buzzing their tits off over a few hundred quid win.

Fast forward to sponsorships and % of balance cash outs, those same people doing £1k bonus buys and not even flinching at £20k wins - its all relative

 

[2Slots]

This is a good point.

There is a desensitization that happens with slots both to the design and wins eventually.

I notice it with bonanza the most. The base hits from 20x-50x were so impressive at first but now I just carry on spinning as they hit quite often.

At first I had saved loads of them but deleted them when I realised it's pretty normal. Only time I save them now is if I didn't quite catch what hit.

That's a smart way to assess it as well.

When I got 290x on DoA recently it was like a huge win as it beat my previous best and I know that outside of the wildline wins that's probably the best I will get because it never plays well for me.

Same with the 730x I got on Train Heist. Felt like a huge win as another member had mention their best was 1400x.

 

[sufferinsilence]

200x is a big win imo, the stake is irrelevant and depending on whatever you think is a sensible betsize. I agree that if you spent 180x to get that 200x it doesn't particularly feel like a big win and I guess it also depends on which provider you're playing, as previously mentioned by Kroffe.

I really hate those slots that celebrate a 10x win like you just won a life changing amount. But 50x is pretty decent and deserves a little animation.

I stopped playing a lot of those ones just because that annoyed me so much.

I can tolerate the BTG slots doing the count up for anything over 1x because they actually do throw in some very big hits in the base game but some slots just advertise that those 10x wins are the best your going to get.

 

[racingcat]

the only relevant part of a big win or not is the x-amount won for me.
a 100k x win with a 10kx buy is just a 10x win for me, might be huge moneywise but it isnt x-wise.

for me the barrier to "big win" is around 1k x

 

[Wait!What?]

For me it depends on the provider I play. If I play an Elk, btg or relax gaming slots anything above 300x is a big win and I will leave the slot.
Pragmatic, playngo and nolimit a minimum of 500x qualifies as a big win for me but I would continue playing it. Don't know why?

 

[2Slots]

I just posted a 314x DoA in the may thread and it's interesting it doesn't feel like a big win because the wildline or retrigger could have hit for 7 spins.

My 296x win had the top jesse land on the last spin so it felt like a big win but this one had the 4 wilds in place for 7 spins so it doesn't, even though it's a bigger win and my best so far.

I've just learnt that even the way the bonus plays out can affect the perception of a 'big win'.

Maybe because it's DoA the difference between the potential return makes it more noticeable.

 

[nisosbar]

400x my stake or higher.

On the question of 'is a big win a factor of how big your stake is?', not really. Because I typically divide my deposit into 100 or 200 or whatever, and my expectations are shaped by whatever that number is. So for example, if my stake is $0.20, then $50 is a big win. It's a pair of gym shoes or a utility bill, but for 20 cents, that's big.

Great thread @2Slots

I view it as monetary value rather than a multipler of stake.

Have to 110% agree with this. How I used to play, would be to bet around $/£1 a spin and if I managed to build my bankroll up I would increase the bet size accordingly, up to £25 a spin back in the day!!

Monetary value of win always IMO trumps stake multiplier. All my big wins have come about from betting big based on my 'system' above.

 

[Wait!What?]

I also feel that a big win with raw funds feels different than a big win with deposit bonus.

Agreed, I play the same. This was before the £5 stake cap at all british casino.

 

[Webzcas]

Wow 40 sheets a spin!! You beat me. £25 was the maximum I would ever go to

 

[SYPlayer95]

Yeah. Its only 326x, but still some hit.

Can't take much credit, it's continuing your thread so well done you for starting the other one

I started in the regulations era so never really got to try this even from min stakes up to around a quid.

Plus anything I did got me a RG message so I kept modifying my approach until all that was really left was to either enjoy the slots for the designs/passing the time or not play them.

One time I did try, the slots went dead and I burnt through the bankroll I built and got a warning

 

[Jono777]

I view a big win in money terms also.

Dead or Alive can deliver 600-700x which is big but not when I'd consider withdrawing at my lowly 9p bets lol

I usually look at 3x deposit (usually £20) as a BIG WIN.

I've always withdrawn if my balance goes over 3xD too, usually leaving my initial deposit with £10 - £20 extra on top to continue playing.

 

[johnnymcc1966]

Those in game messages where a big win is something crap like 20x are pathetic. An in game big win to me is at least 50x and 100x would perhaps be 'mega' or whatever shitty adjverb they come up with to fool your brain into believing you are hitting an unusually large win.

 

[2Slots]

I've always withdrawn if my balance goes over 3xD too, usually leaving my initial deposit with £10 - £20 extra on top to continue playing.

I'm the same, even at 2x sometimes. I used to leave it all on the site but would find that it was too tempting to carry on if the slots went dead. Great when I've been able to do multiple withdrawals too.

It's much more fun trying to build it up again. Also gives the option to redeposit if I really want to carry on for the evening.

If I have to wait for the withdrawal to come through it's a nice break to reset and go again.

I rarely do though. I know I'm going to play the next day if I've built a bankroll so I usually leave it.

 

[satchnz]

It is certainly not 10x as Pragmatic Play would have you believe...

I look at it from the perspective of my deposit amount.

99.99% of the time I start with a $/£50 deposit. I have a strict rule that I withdraw as soon as I 2x or more my deposit amount, assuming 1x wagering is complete.

A 2x my deposit is a nice win. A 4x my deposit is a big win. Anything say 6x or above is fucking awesome.
