Play Online Slot Games

Slot machines go hot and cold – and it's really all down to factors that aren't really in your control, one little bit. However, there are still several trains of thought when it comes to exactly what makes a slot game hot and cold…….

Andrucci slot gaming theory
Could it really be true that some slot games are unlucky, while other games are almost guaranteed to pay out over the average? Well, according to the Andrucci mathematical concept, yes – this 'could' be the reality! Now, in essence the fate of your slot spins are decided by a random number generator (the piece of slot software linked to each machine). When you click the button, the RNG is stopped on a random number, that links to a specific slot icon. (for example, 22234, 73543, 33333, 435843 may = Cherry, Cherry, 777, BAR). Each icon links into millions of numbers, creating a totally randomised environment of chaos, every time you spin. However, Andrucci suggests that patterns of order can be frequently found among chaotic environments such as slot machines – patterns that can become locked-in for long periods of time. Some analysts therefore suggest that slot machines can get locked in to periods of winning and losing! Is it true? Who knows for sure and it's very debatable – but it's 100% true that some games seem to pay out while other are hot!

Does your click matter?
If slot machines are pure luck – then surely it doesn't really matter when you click the spin button. However, wait a minute – because if slot games are powered and influenced heavily by RNG technology, then a split second can make the difference between hitting a million dollar slot jackpot and a dud spin! Arrrgh – yes, although you may not know it, you could have just been a fraction of a second too early or late with your click! Of course, the problem we have is that it's impossible to known when is the right time to click the spin button. However, I've seen many slot gamers press play in some quirky ways – and who knows what may tempt fate.

So – it's all just luck?
Ultimately, finding a hot machine and clicking at the right moment is pretty much down to good fortune – and some gamers have hit massive jackpot wins on seemingly cold machines, as well as hot ones. However, it still makes sense to follow a basic set of slot gaming tips……..

> Play with level stakes to help you even out your losses/winnings from hot and cold slots
> Play slots for fun with a sensible weekly loss limit (money you're happy to lose if you're unlucky)
> If a slot machine just won't win – think about moving away to a fresh game
> Play regularly to ensure you find the hot and cold slot sessions
> Remember to spin in your own quirky way – always think positively!

With the festive period in full swing, nothing could be better than the ultimate gift of a jackpot slot win (now that really would stuff the turkey and fill your stocking!). Now – while the chances of winning big may need more than a little help from Santa, there is always a chance of success every time you play – and if you spin the slots with a few simple tips, you'll maximise your chances…………

Slot budgeting
First of all, it makes sense to set yourself an affordable slot budget – in essence, a bankroll that you're happy to spend having some fun and maybe, just maybe getting really lucky. So, pick a sum of cash that you are happy to lose playing slots, without throwing the Christmas tree out of the window should you lose. Now that you have your lucky pot of slot cash to get gaming with – the fun can commence!

Maximising your jackpot chance
Almost all the biggest and best progressive slot machines contain two key elements – multiple coin options and multi-pay lines. Now, if a machine has 1-4 coin spin options, each coin will access a progressively higher pay table, and generally trigger the activation of more pay lines…..

1 coin jackpot (5 pay lines) : 1000 coins
2 coin jackpot (10 pay lines): 2000 coins
3 coin jackpot (15 pay lines): 3000 coins
4 coin jackpot (20 pay lines): 10000 coins

As you can see – gaming with the maximum coin number is crucial if you want to get the potential of winning the full jackpot coin number. In addition, gaming with more coins activates more pay lines, delivering more chances of winning with any combination of slot icons. The dilemma for slot gamers is whether to focus on coin size or coin number. In an ideal world, we'd all be able to spin with max coin number and coin size, but this will quickly drain your bankroll and leave you with few chances to win. It's generally accepted that casual gamers should decide on a maximum spin value, then max-out the coin number, then if the budget permits – increase the coin value until the max spin amount is hit.

For example, if you max spin budget is 1.00, then a 4-coin game could be played with a coin size of 0.25.

Once your budget and spin value is in place – get spinning with level-stakes, meaning you'll be able to play with a high volume of spins. Of course, it's up to you exactly what wagering level you go for – you can aim for high payouts and play with 10% of your starting bankroll on each spin (highly risky), or play with 1% and get a minimum of 100 spins, even without any winning combos. Always remember that slots are a game of chance, so play them with a sensible weekly or monthly budget. If you control your slot machine gaming by playing with a small bankroll, you'll be able to play on a regular basis, always have fun and maybe one day hit the jackpot.
