In my opinion, the main thing in this matter is to be realistic and not go beyond your limits. If you decide to spend $10, then it should only be $10. I have a colleague who regularly lost his entire salary and then regularly borrowed money from me for food, and this went on for years.
This is great advice. You MUST have discipline! If you can't do that, then you should stay away from any type of gambling.

Haha, your post reminded me of the first time I tried online slots… I honestly felt like I was in a casino movie 😅. Every spin with the music and colors made me think, “This is the big one!” — but the only hit I got was on my wallet 🤦‍♂️.

Honestly, your tips are golden:

Choosing the game: Don’t just play the first one you see. Some slots feel like a DJ party 🎶 and others feel like the neighborhood lottery.

Pay table: That’s like your treasure map… without it, you’ll be spinning without even knowing where the prize is! 🏴‍☠️

Bet & bankroll: Oh yes, the most important part. Always set a limit, because the casino is clever at making everything feel easy and fast.


And the best thing you said: “Play for fun.” Exactly! If you find yourself getting frustrated and punching the keyboard 😂, that’s the time to stop.

For me, I treat it like a video game with music and flashy moves. If I win a bit extra — great! If not, I just laugh and say: “Guess the machine wasn’t in the mood for my face today.” 🤷‍♂️

Want me to throw in a couple of small slot-related jokes too?

Just know the RTPs and understand any of the promos that you may participate in.

Things like playthrough or rollover are important to understand.

I only play on Slot Games online, when I have a profit in the poker game then I dedicate a small percentage of it (1 %, lol) to play slot games, trying to relax my mind after a long tournament.
I choose the games that had given me prizes before , and the ones who show interesting money to share, the most active ones.
About the different spin combinations /prize, I think I know about them playing it, because not all the game show them.
I try to set a max stack I will use before the section, and play with it, so I set my limit to spend there, beyond the results, choosing the lines amount and the price of the round, based on that amount as a maximum limit.
I usually, change the game or finish it, when it don't pay to me for more than 5 rounds. 🤣

I've been playing slots more often lately. I set aside a certain amount of money that I can spend and try to enjoy the game. I never try to win back my losses, but consider them as a payment for a good entertainment. :)

A random game with 20 paylines o_O It is hard to make any sense of those.
Yeah, it's very complicated indeed. Though I only played free spins, I've never figured how, why or which lines paid whatever I won sometimes.
As to reading the rules, I honestly prefer reading any available book at the moment.

I've read a lot of answers on various topics about slots, now it's time to take a closer look at this issue. I've played these interesting stuff before, but not for long because of the negative results. Now I'll allocate $30 and run it through 5 lines, for example.
If there's anything interesting, I'll add it here, but if it sucks, it'll only leak in my thread about increasing my bankroll.
:):D:ROFLMAO:
Long live risk and fraud.

Hello, I think online slots are a fun game, but you have to be prepared for the fact that the winning percentage is quite small, so set aside a modest budget for them. I set aside about two percent of my budget for slots. I also recommend playing slots that have a large progressive jackpot. My friend hit a million dollar jackpot with 40 cents

First, I check the slot that hasn't paid out in a long time and if it's about to pay out. But first, I need to learn how to play and the basic tips to have a chance of winning; it's like getting the hang of it.

Casino games in Germany are now heavily regulated. In fact, many slots are deemed "unplayer-friendly" and are therefore not available to German players. This particularly applies to slots that can generate very high winnings even with low stakes (less than €0.10). In Germany, most slots are limited to a maximum payout of 500x. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play some of my favorite slots for years.

I understand, of course, that not everyone checks and reads the rules before playing, so their first bankroll often goes to zero.

It's also important to understand that there's a big difference between playing with chips and playing for real money. I often spin with chips and win a lot, but then I lose it all to real money. The only advantage is that I have time to understand the bonuses in the slots, which are supposedly multipliers of your winnings.

I've played some slots, but never seem to understand how to win consistently.
What i did notice is that when someone has lost a lot on a certain machine you also should not play there immediately or else you will lose also.
And when someone has had a big hit on a machine and got up immediately then you should try some spins on there also. When you see that you do not get a hit in 20 spins you should get up and try another slot.

I've always wondered why I would ever consider reducing the paylines on a slot machine.

I mean, what slot is there where that could be a sensible, understandable decision? While it reduces the minimum bet, it also reduces my probability of winning.

I don't know of any slot machine where minimizing the paylines would be worth considering.

Has anyone had a different experience and knows of a slot like this?

When is the right time to increase your bet per spin?

Is it advisable to increase the stake per round after a big win, or should one avoid the mistake of betting more after a win, since it is the original account balance, not the current one, that is decisive?

You cannot increase your bet just because you won or feel like to. That is if you are serious about the game and trying to manage your BR. It's much better to choose a system and stick with it. Something like the Martingale, the 1326 etc...

For the most part I only increase my bet when there is a tier multiplier. But as long as you stick to your budget you can really handle this the best way that suits you.

For me, I like testing new titles in free play mode first - it’s a low‑pressure way to learn the features and volatility before risking real money.
Once I know the rhythm of the game, I’ll set a strict bankroll limit and stick to it.

Another thing is I just love to see those bonus round animations, so prefer to hit it on micro stakes first before anything else :)

I recently went to the casino. I play blackjack, and my sister plays slots and loves them.
She hits often but never says how much she put into getting it. Slot players may lie more than poker players :ROFLMAO:
After blackjack, I followed her around waiting to go home. She played the penny machine, 88 cents per spin, and it was progressive
with a possible pot of 11,000. Although I prefer blackjack, I thought next time I will put $100 in one of them and just take what I get.
It will be just for fun, but I'm wondering how long the fun will last. They just hit a button these days and it goes very fast.
I like the old way of pulling the lever lol.

Yes - some of the slots are VERY fast. I don't play one of my favorites very often because it is lightning fast.

Thanks, Tammy! I agree with definitely playing within your bankroll since these can be addictive. I will give a try playing the free slots on the casino.org site.
