Online Casino Winning Steps

Winning Tactics at Slots

We already know that payout percentages vary from machine to machine within a casino. Within a particular bank of machines, at first glance, there's not much to see. However, if visiting a local casino, that is a casino off the beaten path that is heavily frequented by locals (as opposed to a casino overrun by tourists), see what the experienced players do.
If, for example, they stay away from a particular bank of machines, my advice is that you do too. They know something from experience that you'll learn quickly if you sit down at that ghost bank: These machines don't cough up too many winners. Play the machines they play, and avoid the machines they avoid.

Playing the Proper Coin

Depending upon the machine, you have a choice of playing anywhere from one to five coins at a time on a typical machine. Some machines may take two coins maximum, some may allow you to place five at a time. These are the typical machines you'll find on the floors now.
A very important principle to keep in mind at most slot machines, that is, the ones that pay proportionately more for all coins played on the big jackpot, is to play the maximum number of coins allowed on each play. You'll need to see the payout schedule for the machine you're playing to see if this applies, but most likely it will.
Like the video poker machines, where the progressive jackpot or full coin payout on a royal flush is maximized only when all five coins are played, the big jackpot payouts in slots only earn out to their full potential when all coins are played.
For example, the jackpot on one coin played may be 1,000 coins, while that for two on a machine may be 3,000 coins, not the 2,000 coins you might expect if it was proportional. Obviously, on a machine with a disproportionate payoff for more coins, you want to take advantage of it. If this means you're playing for more than you would like to, then you need to switch to a lower denomination machine.

Win Big Jackpot

This principle holds true on all progressives. On these slots, the full number of coins must be played to win the big jackpot. That is standard. Any lesser number of coins will negate the big Online Casino jackpot and give you only a minor win at the machine, that is, minor compared to the riches you could have had.
For example, on a Cool Millions machines that I saw, the difference between playing two coins and three coins, the machine maximum, would give you ulcers had you not played correctly and hit the two coin payout which was 25,000 coins on the quarter machine, $6,250. The three coin payout was $615,000 at the time! That is a major difference.
The same holds true for many of the other progressives. If you're playing at a machine with big jackpot potential, you're paying a I price in smaller returns as you go for the big win. (We'll talk more I about that later.) It only makes sense to play these machines the right way - with the full number of coins that the machine requires I for you to qualify for the progressive. You'll only achieve the II II maximum potential on a progressive this way. If you don't like playing the full number of coins allowed, you shouldn't be playing the progressives. That's a very important rule to keep in mind.
On non-progressive machines, there is often a payout difference as well on the bigger money payout. For example, one coin might pay 800, two coins 1600, and three coins, 4,000. That's a big difference. If you're uncomfortable playing at that denomination because of the full number of coins, you may be able to find smaller denomination machines that allow your Bankroll to handle the full coin allowance.
