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. |
