Video slot machines have quite a few advantages – first of all, higher payouts for wins, higher number of reels / lines that pay out, higher number of reels / lines. There is one drawback of these, which cancels out all advantages for those gamblers, who like to earn while playing – the odds of winning at videos machines are determined by random numbers generator, so you can’t predict these. It's also not possible to create a universal winning strategy for playing video slots.
The total number of factors that are necessary to take into account to calculate the odds of winning may be too high: the number of symbols on each of the reels (which on virtual machines could be between 20 and 100), the number of reels, amount of Wilds and Bonus symbols present, which can significantly alter the outcome of a spin. It's simply impossible to calculate the odds of winning. However, if you know the total number of reels and the number of symbols on these, you can do it. If there're 40 symbols on the reel and only one of those is profitable, the chances of winning would be 1 in 102,400,000. In many machines you can play several lines at the same time, and you can increase your chances to 1 in 5,120,000 if you bet on 20 payout lines at the same time.
Strategy of a controlled win: main strategy for video machines
This strategy is not connected with mathematics at all, but rather with your behaviour. How does it work? The logic behind it is very simple: everything that a player needs to do is to control his actions and to stop, when he / she is winning in order to leave with a profit. In case of video machines, such strategy is particularly useful as the specifics of the game is essentially a lot of small losses and wins. If you use this strategy, you can stay benefit from slots over a long period of time.
How to use this? You are controlling your budget, have a limit sum that you can afford to lose, limit winning and stop the gambling when you need to. It's also necessary to set a maximum amount you can lose on a particular machine and always change to another one after reaching it.
Strategy of selecting a slot
Every player, who wants to earn income from slot machines, is behaving in a different manner: some prefer to use their entire limit at a single machine, while others change the machines as they think that this increases the chances of winning. First thing to remember while playing is that the odds of your wins do not change if you change the machine. Neither do they change depending on how long you've spent at it and how much you have lost.
Main rule of a strategy is to analyse the payouts that different slots offer, and to take into account many other factors (like the number of paylines, the number of virtual reels and so on). The most profitable strategy for video slot machines would be based on the following principles:
- Select the machine with several lines that pay out, even though playing these is more expensive. They give you chances of winning a jackpot or at least for a greater number of smaller wins. If you stick to the strategy of controlled wins, you will be able to stay profitable, when playing multi-line video slots.
- Play with maximum bids on progressive jackpot machines: sometimes the player is entitled to a jackpot only in this case (although the chances to win it are rather limited).
- If you can’t afford to place maximum bets, start to bet one coin. It's better to play higher odds with one coin than low odds with five coins as chances of winning and getting back your losses, are higher in the first case.
