Playing Slots Like A Pro – Tips & Tricks

Slots – the games that all casino goers have tried out at one point or another. Whether you’re a card fanatic or a roulette person, you’ve definitely spent a few bucks at the slots. Whether it’s just to relax and enjoy or just straight up take a shot at hitting some winning combos, one thing is for sure – slots are amazing.

All about luck and randomness? Yes, but there are some things you, the player, can do in order to ensure maximum enjoyment when you look for a slot game. Not all slot games are the same, and that’s why a little bit of research and preparation can go a long way in squeezing out that maximum bit of fun!

For that, we prepared a short guide, or a checklist – call it whatever you want – of all the things any regular player can do to take his game to the next level at HighBet!

Check the RTP (Return to Player)

There’s slots with higher RTP, and games with lower RTP. Of course, this is not a deciding factor in your chances and a shot at winning money, but it should influence your decision on where you should spend your money.

Higher RTP is better, lower RTP is of course, not so good – so make sure you check it out before topping up your account and picking a game. Reviews, the games themselves – the RTP of the game is surely to be available somewhere as an info.

For example, many of the games at HighBet have their RTP listed in the games (real and demo versions as well) – no need to scour the internet to find the data!

Understand RNG (Random Number Generator) and its Effects

The Random Number Generator is exactly what the name suggests – some people think that there are sequences that they can catch and find a pattern in how the slot spins and which symbols are going where, but the truth is, with modern slots, that’s almost impossible. Sure the name RNG means total randomness, and while it’s a machine and that’s almost impossible, the probability of finding the pattern is, well, close to zero, as there are millions of potential combinations that RNG softwares go through in every spin, making it impossible for someone to ‘catch their drift’.

Measure The Bet

Don’t just jump in betting with the highest available amount. Take your time, inspect the slot, see how the betting works, and then see your wallet. Whatever feels right, with the prospect of keeping you in the game for a longer period – go for it.

Don’t look at slots and expect to see how they’re responding to your bets – 5 cents or 5 Euros, it doesn’t really make a difference. Find a way to stretch out your wallet!

Advantages in Bonuses and Features

RTP is King, but various bonuses, features, and extras, are the Queen in slots. The more of these features a game has, the bigger your chance is in hitting a streak of free spins, or free rounds, or extra levels, or bonus games inside the slot! The whole point is – the more of this a slot offers, the better for you, the player. The reasoning is simple – not only do these give you a better chance at winning, they also provide a lot of fun. It’s not just the same ol’ reels spinning to eternity – there should be something more to keep you around, entertained, and in the game!

Stick to a Predetermined Budget

The excitement and the allure of slots is well documented and established, and that’s why it’s important to never lose focus of what you should be doing – keep having fun, and not get winded up by the game. It’s a game, don’t go hard on yourself if you hit a losing streak, it can happen to anyone.

To ensure you can leave a table without that bitter taste in your mouth, always put a lid on your budget, and the money you’re willing to spend. Set a budget before you start playing, and stick to it. If you hit zero, don’t go and just top-up your account and start hitting again – there’s no point.

Conclusion

The one thing all casino goers and slots fans should keep in mind is that there’s many myths around slots and how they function, and many sites offering you guides and tools on how to beat them. Stay away from them. They’re just myths. Do you really think any casino or website would deploy a faulty software or game, or just leave one that has obvious shortcomings? Of course not.

The suggestions above might not make you a wizard when it comes to slots, but they’ll help you understand them better, and know how to approach a slot game and decide if it’s the one you should be spending money on!

Play safe, gamble responsibly, and don’t forget to have fun!
