Choosing an Online Slots Game—Part I

August 10th, 2011

When it comes to choosing an online slots game to play, you will find there are many different methods discussed in forums and such around the Internet. Some are on the aggressive side; some make no sense; and some lean on more conservative methods that are much easier on one’s bankroll. I would be one of those who choose which online slots games to play with the sense of preserving my bankroll and making it last.

So my first tip to be discussed in this series of tips for Choosing an Online Slots Game will be to avoid progressive games.

I know a lot of players are drawn to the really large, life altering jackpots, but there are a few things about progressive online slots that are dangerous to making your bankroll last.

For starters you are playing against thousands, potentially millions, of other players at the same time. All players who are currently spinning the reels are linked to the same RNG and the same jackpot. This is why there is only one huge jackpot and how a portion of each wager being fed into the jackpot.

This is compared to playing a non-progressive online slots game, which is just you and the game. You are not playing against other players. Not playing against other players means the odds are better. Playing in a linked progressive online slots game means the odds are stacked higher against you.

Another drawback to progressive online slots games are the wagers themselves. Progressive online slots games require players to wager the maximum. This means the maximum amount of coins per payline with every payline activated. This can lead to some very expensive wagering, which then depletes your bankroll much faster.

So my first tip for choosing an online slots game is to avoid progressive online slots games. This will keep you from playing in a linked game against other players, which results in much higher odds, as well as allowing you to avoid making large wagers that will run your bankroll out.
