Some have created mega millionaires whilst others have prepared players for further online slots gaming. The slots have always been money minting machines, be it online or on land, and it is not a surprise to see that this year again the magic of online slots has overpowered several other forms of gaming. Among the 2009 best online slots is the famous King Kong online slots bye Cryptologic. This is one slot that definitely stands out when we talk about the finest slots in the industry. Also, Cryptologic have scored the top award for the second year running with their King Kong video slot.

I have been playing slots online and in real casinos for years. I have hit jackpots, triple sevens, ... more]]>  

I have been playing slots online and in real casinos for years. I have hit jackpots, triple sevens, double triple sevens, triple triple sevens and so on, paying me thousands of dollars for a twenty five cent bet. In fact, I hit some sort of jackpot just about everytime I play (Of course being a gambling feind, I often spend a good portion of my winnings within the casino trying to find more jackpots… but thats a story for another time).

If you beleive that winning at slots is only about luck, then by all means, find your lucky slot machine and stick with it until you win…. or not. But if you are looking for a slot machine stategy, something to give you an advantage over the slot machines, whether online or at a real casino… you may want to read this article.

It is a fact that certain slot machines will be paying out. Though they probably will be paying out at different times… every machine will eventually payout. The trick is to know which machines are paying out when.

Just because the machine you just started playing pays you out within the first few spins does not mean that machine is nessessarily hot and just because a particular machine has not hit a payout within the first few spins does not mean that a significant and consistant payout streak is not coming.

In other words, if slot machines are programed to payout a certain amount (which they are) than technicaly speaking, you have an advantage. The advantage is that you know that every slot machine on the floor will payout a significant amount sooner or later.

In a real casino, you could just hang around any given slot machine, watch the payouts as people come and go playing that particular machine, wait until you think it’s due for a large payout and then jump on it. However, this technique has several flaws… for one, it’s just poor etiqute to hover over someones shoulder as they play a slot machine. Actually, that really pisses me off if someone (especially a stranger) is lurcking behind my back where I can’t see them. I’ll usually get up and leave if they persist. Another thing is that you may have to wait quite a while as many slot players are loyal to their machines and might not abbandon the game for hours. Add in the factor that a regulated slot machine, though will payout sooner or later must follow a random algorithem. So it may not payout even after hours of continous play. And last but not least… This “stand-By” technique only works in a real casino where you can physically watch someone play. You cannot do this at an online casino.

However, Microgaming online slot machines feature a “Jackpot Thermometer” which acts as a temperature Gauge showing which slots are “HOT” and which ones are not according to when the jackpot was last hit. If it was hit over a few days or so it is probably very hot right now and ready to be hit, if it was hit 5 minutes ago, then the temperature is low. Microgaqming uses a temperature range from 80 to 999 for each slot machine. The reading indicates the last time a jackpot was won.

The higher the reading, the longer it has been since the last jackpot was hit. Microgaming emphasizes that this gauge does not indicate that a jackpot has a greater or lessor chance of hitting as the machine pays out randomly. I do find this helpful to my technique but it is just just like hanging around a machine in a real casino waiting to see how it pays out.

With all that said… I find more slot machines that consistantly pay me out more than I put into the machine using the following technique:First of all, it is helpful to have a financial goal when first entering a casino… How much do you want to win???

With that said, Pick a machine and depending on the size of your bankroll, decide how much you are willing to lose in this session. I usually go by a percentage of my bankroll. If my bankroll is $100.00 I will usually risk about 10% or $10.00 on a penny or nickel slot machine. maybe up to $25.00 on a quarter slot machine.

If you are breaking just about even within fifteen or twenty minutes… great. This machine may be ready to payout big. Just keep playing until you have doubled, tripled or have hit the jackpot… you may even want to increase the bet at this point. If after a while your $10.00 is now at let say $50.00, what I do usually do is set a new cap on how much of that $50.00 I am willing to lose. Let’s go ahead and say we will walk away if it goes below $25.00. Again, if you hit another generous payout and now you got a thundered bucks… walk away with no less than $50.00. At this point, you have five times the amount you put into the machine and if you are not consistently winning and you are now progressively are losing, you should walk away anyway. If at any time you have lost the original amount you agreed to spend on this machine, it’s time to move on… no matter what. There are other machines waiting for a payout somewhere in the casino.

Just remember that it’s all up to you when to cash out… you want to walk away a winner.

While writing this article, I have decided to create an actual scenario (at Slots Oasis) using my technique;

Today, my goal is to turn my $100.00 into $500.00… But I will not lose all my original $100.00 as I do want to make a point during this experiment. The point being that there is more to playing at slots than just luck… there are strategies you can use to increase the chances of you winning at slots.

At about 9:00 AM I put $100.00 into my online account this morning and have been playing and writing for about three hours now. About an hour ago when my bankroll was down to $50.00, I started playing “Pure Platinum” slot machine by Microgaming. Within ten minutes or so of playing, I hit a bonus round which paid out $240.00… I have had between $225.00 and $250.00 in this machine now for about 45 minutes.

Will it pay me out again? I don’t know but I have decided that if it goes below $200.00… I’m either switching machines or just cashing out. But either way… So far I’m still playing after three hours (the last hour, I have been playing with house money) using my strategy for winning at slots. In fact, if I were to cash out right now, my point would be well made… I can leave Vegas Towers Casino a winner right now!!!

But as I said earlier… I am a gambling man, so for now it’s back to the “Pure Platinum” machine in hopes that it pays me off. I’ll be back when I either hit my $500.00 goal or when the machine is at $200.00.

OK… after well over an hour, “Pure Platinum” has become cold and tight so I will be cashing out at $200.00 and consider this experiment a success.

I have played for close to five hours, I have doubled my money… My strategy for winning at the slot machines has worked once again!!!

I hear online slot game players say they like a certain type of slot game because “it pays well”. By different types I am referring to different slots such as interactive bonus game slots for one and jackpot slot games as another type. Both very different and very distinct. Then there are one liner fruit slots which differ from a 5reel 20 bet line slot such as Excalibur, a NetEnt online slot game. Simple slot games like Excalibur are not interactive, do not have a jackpot nor are they an ancient one-liner.

Then other players will say they like “Champion of the Track” a NetEnt interactive slot game because “it Pays well”. A player can hit free spins and while in the free spin mode hit more free spins. It’s true. I have had a recent run of 30 free spins embedded inside each other and walked away with 7,000 euros. But then there are other types of slot game players who say they like jackpot slots best because they “payout well”. At the beginning of August a delighted Norwegian woman won an amazing 329,000? on the Tiki Wonders video slot. Tiki Wonders is one of 3 sister Wonder Jackpot Slots of NetEnt as well.

Who is right? Of the four categories of online slots:

* Interactive Slots
* Jackpot Slots
* Simple multi-line Slots
* One Line Slots

which pays better than the other?

MY QUESTION is from an empirical view point. I am not asking which is more popular or which has the highest jackpot amount What can we say about which is the best paying type of online slot game?

MY ANSWER from a strictly numbers view point is straight forward. You would simple have to look at the percentage payout. If a jackpot slot is paying 96.3% and a simple slot is paying out 96.9% then the obvious answer is the simple slot pays out better. The “Big Secret” to doing well in slots is looking at the Payout % and staying with the highest payer. Good Casinos post the monthly payouts over their online slot games.

But the reality is people think and experience life differently. It is the “way ” these slots payout that they are focusing on. What these different players are experiencing is the psychological aspect of the type of slot. If we are a person who feels they need to escape into a better life. This psychological aspect embedded in the players character will focus him on the heavily laden Progressive or Accumulative Jackpots. Jackpots such as Arabian Nights, by NetEnt has a 2,808,789? Jackpot value as I write. But few people will experience this Jackpot. And everyone who doesn’t experience the winning is paying for the new life of “Joe” over there. The other side of the coin is “Boy! I would sure like to be Joe.”

Compare this with a person who likes to maintain statuesque. Personally I love excitement and variety. But that does not make it “better” than stability. What I mean is a person who likes a steady life exactly the way it is, would enjoy an online slot game like Super Eighties. With Super Eighties the payout will be the same (96%) as the Arabian Night super Jackpot. The difference is that the money comes back to the players in a different way. So the same amount of money will eventually come back. The question is how? Will it be to one person every blue moon or will it be a steady payout all day long to the player behind the slot game doing the paying. Notice I said paying not playing.

Even the simple slot games that are in the same category can give you the money back in a different style. Tomorrow I will compare online slot game Supper Eighties with Spellcast two very simple 5 reel multiple bet line (20 lines and 40 lines respectively) online slot games. Yet the way they pay out is very different.

When discussing online slot machine strategy, the first thing a player needs to do, is to define which type of slot he wants to play. In very broad terms, you could say there are only two types of online slot machines. One that pays out constantly, little by little and the Big Paycheck type that give you one very large win. Both are very popular and are frequented by slot players all over.

The online slots that payout a bit at a time but frequently are filling the slot list more and more every day. It used to be that the big attraction in slots was solely a Big Jackpot. They are famous. We learned about them early in life when we were young. You were 6 years old, watching a cartoon and a slot machine is involved. All of a sudden coins come gushing out from under the slot. It s a classic stereotype for a slot machine. But in the last few years more slots are being released that incorporate interactive bonus games, scatter and wilds symbols. In order for the interaction to be effective the designers need to payout when a skill or an interaction takes place. This is when the percentage of the payout comes back to the player. It is all good but needless to say there is little to left accumulate for a progressive jackpot.

The strategy for these types of slot games is to start slow. There is a time when the slot machine is loose and when it is tight. The RNG’s work with sections of time that permit this. When we are not hitting well don’t go anywhere just take your time be patient and use smaller coin values. When the slot is looser and you are hitting frequently then go up in coin value, paylines and bet levels. It might sound like a week strategy but there are times when it works well. But the burden is on the player to stay alert and patient through the slot game time. You need to be as loose as you want the slot game to be. It will work that way.

If you feel the big win is what you want out of life… good for you… take it all… live life to the fullest. Many of us enjoy a more conservative life with less surprises. You need the progressive jackpot slot games to feel full filled or if not full filled , a feeling of knowing what you want. The strategy that I might point out for these types of persons and games is to know where the money is. Online slot games are the same within the software providers. One software provider will offer the same slot game to many casinos. Find the casino that has the game you want to play but with the highest Progressive Jackpot. Some progressives have the same jackpot value over the entire casino group. But this is not always the case. I specialize in no download slot games. I look for no download casinos that are Mac compatible. With these I find that most of the large jackpot slots have different values in different casinos. The larger the casino the higher the progressive jackpot will be. With a no download flash casino it is much easier to enter and see the size of the jackpot and leave again if you wish.

So look at two things to do better at slots. In an easy pay type slot game hold back until it gets loose. In a progressive Jackpot slot machine get the biggest Jackpot and just go for it. Jackpot 6000 is a slot game that would be good for a large jackpot type of player. It has a double or nothing button that would be perfect to tickle your belly. It does not have a jackpot at all. But just try keeping it there at the double or nothing until you bring down the casino roof. You may be amused by this if you are a large jackpot type of guy.

There are many different types of online slot machine games available to the public nowadays. Since Charles Fey invented the first slot machine in 1895 everything imaginable has been done to this popular sport to improve the excitement, especially at online casinos. Besides the simple 3 reel slots you have 20 to 50 betline slots. There are interactive slot games with bonus game features embedded within the spin modes. But there is nothing like the jackpot slots to keep a player coming back for more.

With the popularity of online gaming growing year by year there are more people playing jackpot slot machine games online. The more people that play, the more money is available to increase the amount of the jackpot. The most popular jackpot slot games on the market are Progressive Jackpots. Progressive jackpots grow more the more players are using them. Normally a progressive jackpot is operated and promoted by the online software provider in conjunction with the software provider’s partner online casinos. The software providers might have as many as 50 casinos using there online slot games. Every time any one of the players at any one of the online casinos, spins the reels 3 to 4% of the wager will be accumulated in a special account of the software provider. This is the money that will eventually be paid out to the winner. So there could be thousands of players every day adding to the winning sum of the jackpot. Sometimes you can see directly on the slot machine game board the amount of the current jackpot. The amount normally has the last two figures going higher and higher every second. You can actually see the jackpot in real time grow and grow. It is impressive really. I have seen progressive jackpots of $5,000,000 and up. These are truly “Life Changing Jackpots”. I would imagine it would be quit a shock to win one.

Not all Jackpots are progressive. Some Jackpots have a set amount and do not changing. These can be equally attractive. One of the big advantages of these set prize jackpots is that you have a better chance of wining. True the amount could be less than a million euros but it would be more realistic to think that you could walk away with the prize. Many of these type jackpots are won by matching 5 symbols up on an active beltline. Or too, they could be won inside an interactive bonus game feature. Interactive bonus game features are more and more the fashion. I see more and more interactive slots being released everyday. There was a time when they were unfamiliar to the public. But nowadays more than half of the newly released slot games are interactive.

The last type of jackpot you will find online is a type where you do not leave the bonus game mode until you claim it. These of coarse are of a smaller scale. You can see these jackpots ranging from a few hundred dollars to one or two thousand. Lucky frog by NetEnt is an example. When you hit three frogs on an active betline you enter the bonus round. In the bonus game round you spin the jackpot wheel. The wheel must land on one of the 3 jackpot sizes. Depending on the amount of your wager you will have a better or worse chance of landing on the larger jackpot amount.

When Fey was alive the jackpot amount had to be very small. There was only 3 reels with 10 symbols on each reel. So there was not enough combinations to grant a large jackpot. Now there are 5 reels with more than 50 symbols per reel. This alone let the jackpot amount out of the box. Now for a jackpot amount the designers could program a 15,000,000 to one chance of winning a jackpot with a five reel slot containing 50 symbols each.

If you are serious about wining a large progressive jackpot then it would be best to focus on one that you can play away from home. Many avid jackpot chasers try their luck between lunch breaks and on vacation. So a no download slot game offered by flash casinos is what you need. These are also Mac compatible. A no download casino can be played on a computer that is not yours. It would not be recommendable to download a program into a computer you do not own. The information privy to you and the casino could be compromised once you leave the play. So take this under consideration while choosing a progressive jackpot to play on.

Online slot machine game has come out of the sidelines and became the most popular casino games, accounting around 70% of the total collection of casinos in the world. If you are new to the casino world, playing online slot machine game would help you to get a check of the opportunities in abundance.

Here, you would know about some of the effective ways to save money while playing a slot machine game:

Play only with lowest denomination

If you do not want to lose a lot, you should choose to play only with lowest denomination. Although lower stakes have worse odds, still you are likely to lose less by betting on small amounts.

Choose machine which is advertised as paying back a good return

Usually, casinos do not reveal the amount of pay backs on their slot machines. However, some casino do reveal their pay back policy. When choosing a machine to play free slot machine game online, you need to look for those specific machines that pays high returns. Do not entertain any false or misleading advertisement, chances are that you will lose a lot.

Put a limit on progressives:

Progressives slot machines are machines with the LED marquees that shows an increase in jackpots every time. These machines usually pay back lesser than standard machines. Always prefer to play a two-coin machine rather than playing on three-coin machine.

Video reels – a strict ‘no-no’:

Video reel slot machines usually pays a percentage less than their mechanical counterparts. Therefore, prefer using other standard formats to save your money.

Play with a slot card:

Playing with a slot card is one of the best ways to enjoy a slot machine game. With a proper card, you can play the game at any casino you play at. In addition to the rewards, a player always stands with the chance to earn additional benefits like free meals and discounted accommodation.

Have you ever been to Las Vegas? If so, then you may have noticed that there all different types of gamblers. They come from all different walks of life and might have extremely different backgrounds.

Although this is true, many of them understand how to gain an edge when gambling. These people understand all about playing the odds. Some people can count cards, others are mathematical geniuses who excel at gambling due to those skills, and some people just seem to be “just plain lucky”.

No matter whether you are any of these things, you can play a more valuable game of online Bingo simply by understanding online Bingo jackpots and how they work.

As with most games, playing the odds can help up your chance of winning. Although Bingo numbers are chosen totally at random, it can help to understand how to “count cards”, Bingo cards that is, when playing.

For example, if there are 100 people playing with 1 card each on a website, you have a 1% chance of winning. Let’s say for the sake of easy mathematics that you are playing with 3 cards, while there are only 30 cards on the site being played. You now have a 10% chance of winning the jackpot. This is a very important concept to grasp when playing online Bingo. You have a better chance of winning by playing more cards, but remember that you shouldn’t play to many unless you are experienced enough to keep track of them.

On any given site, you should be able to tell how many cards are in play. According to simple statistics, it is better for you to play when there are a smaller number of players due to the fact you have a greater chance of winning. Many people find that if you play early in the morning or late at night there are less people playing. This is not always the case, as many may think this, so a good rule is to just check the websites randomly and play when you notice it is a smaller group of people.

Also, the weekends are not one of the best times to play if you are trying to find a smaller group because they seem to be flooded with those who are unavailable to play during the normal work week.

In Las Vegas or at any gambling casino around the world, you may also have noticed that the more money you spend, the more you tend to win. This is not always true, but it often seems that way. Many people who gamble will tell you that when you begin winning you should cash out and move to another slot, etc.

Others tell you that when you start winning to continue playing and spending your money because the casino, or website, will want you to continue playing, hence they will help by making sure you win.

Hmmmm…Unless you’re an insider at one of these sites or casinos, we may never know! It is truly your choice and just depends on the strategy you personally have, although it is suggested by most that to win online Bingo jackpots you should move from online room to room to enhance your chances of winning.

If you are playing in one of the websites that offers progressive jackpots, the above mentioned information really doesn’t apply. Progressive jackpots are exciting because they are often enormous and contain a large amount of money.

The only thing about these progressive jackpots is that it is not always guaranteed that someone will win. Once again, this is a personal choice. You may find that playing progressive jackpot Bingo is exciting because you have a chance to win such a large amount or you may prefer sticking to the lesser amounts that are guaranteed won with each game played.

The choice is yours, but if you understand the basics, you can hopefully make a more informed decision.

I guess I’m a cyber punk princess. I don’t keep a diary under my bed, I blog for all the world to read. Just for good measure I’ve even got myspace, facebook and even trying twitter to make sure my social network is totally in key with every moment of my digital existence. But the honest truth is that the social networking stuff does get boring.. what really keeps me online is my addiction to online slots.

The first thing I love is that there are just so many more slot games to choose from. The best online casinos have at least a hundred different video slot games, so I always find something that fits my mood. Whether I feel like a bit of magic at the enchanted garden or chill with crystal waters.

The next thing is that online slots are a lot looser. I hit more slots features and jackpots online than I do at my land casino. This means, I have more winning sessions which means more fun. And I have won some really big jackpots in the thousands which meant lots of shopping. And shopping with a big casino win is some of the best fun a girl can have!

The other thing I love is that online slots have a lot better graphics than most of the land slots. The pictures are prettier and brighter and the features are a lot more animated, so its pretty easy to just play for hours.

There are like, heaps of deals if your willing to shop around. Like, there are even online casinos that offer free play slots. Where you can get sweet deals like getting an hour free to play slots with the casinos money and keep any winnings. Some other offer freerolls on their slots tournaments or some free chips. There are lots of ways to get a good deal if you’re smart and do a bit of shopping around.
