Slot Machine Myths
 
The first and most important myth is that the best to play a particular slot is obvious and self-evident. Many of the new online slots are themed and there are multiple types of payout and bonus rounds. So reading up on say how to play Tiki Island slot game for just a minute or two before playing will enhance your enjoyment. Its never a good feeling when the game offers you a choice that you are not sure about.

Play the Maximum Number of Coins Wrong
Experts tell you to always play maximum coin, and if you can't afford to play maximum coin, move down to the next denomination. The penalty for playing maximum vs. one coin is usually less than 1% of the total return, while the penalty for downgrading to a lower denomination slot is usually more than 1%. So you'll usually enjoy a better return by continuing to play your high-stakes machine for one coin.

Casinos Cheat with Slot machines Wrong
They don't have to. The odds are so overwhelmingly bad.

Limit play on progressives with huge jackpots True
On the machines with huge progressive jackpots, a huge portion of each bet goes to feed the jackpot.

How long it's been since the last jackpot. Wrong
The results are random. The reels are controlled by a random number generator (RNG) and it is actually possible to win two jackpots in a row, one spin after another, but of course there are astronomically high odds against this happening.

You can buy systems that will beat Slot Machines Wrong
With a 100% random game, there is no pattern that can be discovered, and no style of play that can overcome the odds.

Doesn't matter which Slot you play Wrong
Choosing the right game greatly affects your chances of winning. Choose a standard slot over a progressive and your chances are better.

Slot Games have a payout cycle and payout at certain times Wrong
It doesn't matter when you play. There is no such thing as a payout cycle. The results are always random.

Practice with Play Money first True!
Before you throw down your hard-earned cash in a casino, PRACTICE FIRST! Learn the games with play money where it doesn't cost you anything if you lose.

Choose the biggest jackpot Wrong
A common mistake is to reason that if a group of slots all cost £1 to play, you might as well choose the one with the biggest jackpot, because that will be the best deal for your £1. The higher the jackpot, the more likely you'll lose in the short-term. It takes a lot of play to fund those extra-big jackpots.
