casino slot machines

In this article, we want to discuss some misconceptions about slot machines, which are the most harmful (or risky) for gamblers in this genre.

We just want to warn you that we mean slots from reliable software manufacturers offered in reputable casinos.

In other words, it is a fair game. None of this applies to the slots in the illegal slot rooms in the alley behind your house. There really can be anything.

This category also includes dubious online casinos operating without documentation and guaranteeing fairness. Every visitor of such casinos is acting solely at their own risk.

Cracking Slot RNGs

Well-known manufacturers' modern, high-quality slot machines are based on random number generators. The result of each spin is one of the millions, and there is no connection between the individual spins. Therefore, calculating, even approximately, what will be in the next round is impossible.

Visitors of slot halls often try to determine which machine for a long time "takes money" from customers and start playing it, hoping for a "return flow." The RTP's percentage comes to life in the long run.

So do not think that the machine, which did not deliver large payouts in a few days, weeks, or even months, will soon begin to provide large combinations.

People who worked in the gaming industry for many years probably remember when the operators of slot halls took money from the cash register and ran them in machines that, in their opinion, had become excessive. Some administrators do it today.

Do not count on personal observations or tips from other customers. Nobody knows what a slot machine will do next. Remember that a RANDOM number generator controls the device.

Winning Systems and Strategies for Slots

This misconception is closely connected with the previous one. If you believe in the efficiency of betting systems for slots, you suppose that separate spins are connected in some way, but they are not, which has been proved by many mathematicians.

Of course, no one will forbid resizing a bet in each drawing, changing the number of active lines, etc. All this adds variety to the game and even helps control costs, but it does not contribute directly to achieving a positive result.

The optimal strategy for video slots is to find the most profitable game with a suitable range of bets and the required volatility, and play it during a predetermined time and within financial limits.

You need to select the slot with the highest RTP, determine whether its bets suit you, and ensure that the volatility will let you play as long as you have planned.

Some other nuances of playing slots are explained in a particular article, and betting systems for different slot machines are clarified in a special section of Casinoz.

Interfering in Slots' Work

Once again, illegal casinos can practice fraud. Still, in decent casinos (and you should play only in them), the administration in no way interferes with the operation of slot machines. Moreover, it is checked by software vendors and independent auditors.

Many casinos do not have access to the source code of online games, so even theoretically they can not affect the result.

Discussions about online casinos interfering in slots' functioning began during the first semi-legal gambling halls. For those still playing in such casinos, such concerns are still relevant. But if you are a client of a reputable brand, forget about these fears.

The Connection between Slots' RTP and Game Results

It is a widespread misconception among beginners. After reading the official data saying that the payout percentage of the video slot is 97%, they expect to lose no more than three percent of the bets. But think about it: if someone wins on the machine, it means that someone has to lose more than the specified index of the casino.

Considering all bets made on this slot machine, the payout percentage is a theoretical ratio shown for a very long period. And just today or tomorrow, you can win significantly, no less than the biggest loser on the video slot, or leave with the same amount as in your first game. It all depends on luck.

However, the more this percentage is, the better the game for you. So always pay attention to it.

The Disutility of Free Slots

Playing in training mode will not help you play at the video slot more efficiently. But with its help, you will almost certainly avoid silly mistakes people make in new games.

  • Modern slots sometimes have a rather complex interface and very intricate rules, which are not easy to understand, even for experienced casino customers.
  • If you immediately start playing for money, you can make unreasonably high bets, suddenly participate in the double game or not choose the most suitable option, the bonus round.

Moreover, some manufacturers have video slots for players with specific skills (e.g., some machines with bonus games by SkillOnNet). They are undoubtedly good to practice.

We recommend all readers of Casinoz start playing for real money only after trying a video slot for fun.

Playing Progressive Slots Only

There is no doubt that the progressive jackpot is a very tempting aspect of video slots. Some of them can provide a comfortable life lucky to old age. A line of six zeros attracts users from around the world. The reason is,

"If I play the video slot, it is best to choose a game that can make me very seriously rich."

But not all players understand that slot machines with progressive jackpots tend to have a lower RTP. In many games, the probability of winning the jackpot increases with the bet, and in some, it may be generally obtained only at a specific bet. Consider all nuances of the rules concerning the jackpot not to chase the phantom goal you cannot achieve.

Summary
