Beware of online video slot betting techniques to win
October 29th, 2009
This article is going to those players that are looking for strategies or techniques to win at Video Slots.
There is a very common technique that has spread throughout the internet that claims it will help you win at video slots. As you may know, the characteristic feature of the video slot is that it provides a player a chance to play a “bonus round” which is a sort of mini-game in which the player has to perform well to earn some coins. The bonus rounds typically pay so well the either the player recovers his or her recent losses or gains enough to actually start a profit.
What is sometimes suggested on webpages is that the player has to apply bet techniques to try to get into one of these bonus rounds with a higher than normal denomination. So, for example, if the player has a starting balance of $100, the player should spin the reels at a very modest amount, say, $0.25 per spin for a long time. Unless the player is lucky and hits a bonus round right away, the player should slowly start raising the bets per spin. The idea is that as the player starts raising slowly the bets, when the bonus round does hit, it will reward the player with coins at the higher denomination. Winning 1000 coins on a dime machines is not as much as wining the same amount of coins on a quarter machine.
The problem with this slot strategy is that the bonus rounds don’t always give a default amount. Sometimes it can be very low, so that the technique made the player spin at higher denominations, lose faster and not get his or her money back on the bonus round. Another reason why this strategy is flawed is because the bonus round may not appear at all or it may appear consecutively. Since the games are run by Random Number Generators, predictable systems like these are always going to end up in a disappointment.
We strongly suggest players to not fall for online slot techniques. There are not proven techniques that can lead to a guarantee win.
