Choosing a Slots Game—Part II

August 11th, 2011

Welcome back for Part II for Choosing an Online Slots Game. If you missed yesterday’s Choosing an Online Slots Game—Part I check it out.

This morning I am going to talk to you about the paylines an online slots game has. There is always a question of what is the best number of paylines. Really there is no right or wrong answer. It has more to do with your bankroll and what you are comfortable wagering. But when it comes to choosing an online slots game that is not going to run your bankroll out, paylines have to be considered.

Let’s look at some math. Let’s say you go with conservative wagering, which I recommend because the payout differences between denominations are not worth the losses from wagering the maximum (guess what this afternoon’s post will be about).

You are wagering a penny per payline on twenty five payline online slots game. That means a single spin costs your bankroll $0.25. Let’s say you make seven spins per minute, so that is 420 spins in an hour. In that hour you will have the potential to lose $105.

Whenever doing the math for playing an online slots game—or any online casino game for that matter—think of it in terms of loss. Wins are not guaranteed, but wagering your money means that losses are definite. Do the math for worst case scenario to allow for the best plan.

Now let’s say you are wagering that penny on a forty payline online slots game. Your total potential loss in an hour would be $168. And for one of those flashy one hundred payline online slots games? That would be a potential loss of $420.

So you can see that the number of paylines does matter. Again, there is no definite right or wrong number of paylines. What I am trying to impart here is that you should consider the number of paylines and make sure you are choosing an online slots game whose cost per spin you are comfortable with.
