If you have lets say 100 Dollars available, what would be the best and most profitable way to use that on slots? What settings do you guys use for lines and bets? Any other tactics or strategies?

I was referring 100 percent to online slots where it's possible to bet super small. I basically never visit live casinos to play casino games.

I honestly don't think it's profitable; it's better if you find a way to play that entertains you without causing problems.

I think I would divide that $100 into four parts and in turn divide the game into 4 evenings. $25 is enough to try and see if luck is on your side.

Wait until you see that the progressives jackpot is way larger than normal and then only play what you feel comfortable losing on entertainment.

You shouldnt expect to win on games where the house has the edge, so you should budget gaming like you would budget going to a movie or going to a nice dinner.

Sometimes casinos have promotions. For example, in our local casinos sometimes there are promotions when you can get up to 100% bonus funds for your deposit. I would probably wait for such a promotion.

Yes you are most likely referring to first deposit bonuses. I used them already on multiple sites in the past and i will lookout for more.

I don't play slots often these days, and $100 is the minimum I'd play slots with. As for tactics or strategies I can only suggest what I used to do when I played slots often, and that was to jam something between the play button and it's surround and then let the machine do what it does. ;)

The best way to gain an edge over the casino is to develop a budgeting strategy. Absolutely right. Most casino games are designed in such a way that the odds are always in the casino's favor. That's where the saying "The house always wins" comes from.But even if you can't outsmart a casino game like slots, you can always create a budgeting strategy that will allow you to get the most out of your money. For some people, casino games aren't just a way to make money. Others enjoy the fun that comes with playing such games, and a budgeting strategy can extend your playing time, or, in other words, prevent you from burning through your bankroll as quickly.

I would only spend that much if combined with a bonus and choosing lowest variance game possible with smallest bets allowed.

Of course it all depends on which slot you choose. I like the different "Fruit Parties". And for a bankroll of 100 dollars I would choose a bet of 2 dollars. That's like 50 spins, which is quite promising for the slots I prefer.

TBH, $100 can get you a long way if you use it in poker, but if you want to spend it strictly for fun, the slots with bonuses are really nice.
I learned that from the Monthly Casino Competitions we had recently.
You start betting kind of small, like a $1 spins, then if you got up a bit, buy a bonus. It's fun and if it hits nice, it'll be a real bonus on top of the fun.
