General Gaming Strategy
There are so many games to play, that the first thing I want to advice you is
to find out the ones you like playing. Look at the screenshots to see which
games appeal to you, and try all of those games at least once to see which
you like best. Find yourself a list of 3 to 6 games you like best and switch
between them when one game doesn't do well for you that day.
Always remember!!
Odds of winning do not improve by losing. If you
have lost even $100 on a game, that doesn't mean it will
"probably" give you a large win soon! The chances of getting that large
win are still the same as on your first spin!
The same also goes the other way around of course. Your odds if losing do
not improve by winning. Even if you have already won $500, your chances of
winning on your next spin are still the same as on your first one!
With each casino on this website, you'll find an overview of the games I prefer playing, with screenshots and
strategies (this
page for example for Ruby Fortune). This of course doesn't mean you have to play these
same games!
The different games have different wagering options, ranging between $0.09
and $90 per spin on the games I prefer playing. This means that when you
feel lucky, you can wager a higher amount per spin than when you just have
some time to spare and want to gamble for fun.
How do I decide what wager to play at?
I usually devide my starting balance by 40 and round off to the nearest
wager amount below. For example:
My favourite game is Thunderstruck. I only play this game at 5 coins per
spin, meaning wagering options are $0.45, $0.90, $0.90, $2.25, $4.50, $9,
$11.25, $22.50, $45 and $90 per spin. On my budget, spins higher than $4.50
are out of the question (unless I have been really lucky before, but then
only for a few quick spins for the thrill). A bet of $4.50 may sometimes be
within reach, but I often don't feel comfortable wagering that much money on 1
spin. When I play at $0.45 and get lucky, winnings are still rather small. So, usually
I play at $0.90 or $2.25, depending on how high my balance is. If my
starting balance is $0.90 x 40 = $36 or less, I play at $0.90 per spin. If
my balance is above that, I play at $2.25 per spin. This ensures that I can
always play at least 40 hands before my balance is empty, giving a good
estimate of "the mood of the game". Then I determine how many
hands maximum I may play, using this
strategy. When a game does well, your
balance will be well above your starting balance after those first spins. If it isn't, quit that game and find
another to use the same strategy with, or come
back later.
The most important thing to go on when deciding what wager to play at,
should be your gut feeling. If you
increased your wager and don't feel comfortable spinning the wheel, put it
back to the lower wager right away. Else you will feel worse and worse if
you lose, and will want to try and make up for any losses by keeping your
wager higher than usual. Some games have small chances at big prizes. Those
games should be played at lower wagers to spread risk.
The same goes for the decision to keep on playing or stop: as soon as any
game makes you feel uncomfortable because you are losing too much, stop!
When you started with a $100 balance and decided to play 44 spins (the whole
amount in 100/2.25), the balance you have left in the end are your winnings.
You have wagered your initial $100 balance and your current balance is what
you won in return for that wager. If you think the game is doing well and
want to play more, remember you are wagering your winnings. The fact that
you have winnings, means you beat the odds of the casino. Be proud of them
and hold on to them! The casino would of course very much want them back,
yet you want to keep on playing because you feel lucky in your game. What do
you do?
You have 2 options at this point. The first this you should do is decide for
yourself what the amount is you want to withdraw. How much of your winnings
you want to keep, no matter what happens, and which part you'd like to wager
again to see if you're lucky, if anything at all (remember, quiiting is always
an option!). The safest thing to do is to immediately withdraw this amount.
Go to "Bank", click "Withdrawal" and enter this amount.
After you are finished, return to the casino and play on with the rest (if
you decided to keep some) of your balance.
If you aren't sure how much you should withdraw, go ahead and withdraw
everything but the amount needed for another 10 spins. In 10 spins, you'll
know if your luck has ended or continues. If it continues, use the same
strategy again: redeem part and play on with the rest. If you later decide
you want to try just a few more times, or want to try playing a different
game, you can always put (part of) your withdrawal back into your account. I
strongly recommend not doing this though. As I said: the fact that you won
means that you beat the casino. Don't give them a chance to win back what is
now your money!
But I want to keep on playing!!!
Of course there may be a day that you really have nothing better to do, and
you are in the mood to gamble. After all, watching those rolls spin is fun!
Fortunately the casino's have a very nice solution for this: low wagers!
Stay at the casino you just played at, or try another casino, but play with
no more than $10. Play a game like "Carnaval", "What a
Hoot" or "Truck Stop" (if available) at $0.09 per spin. At
that rate you can play on for ages, even if you lose, or still win some nice
cash if you're lucky!
I deposited all I had to spare, and lost it all! What should I do?
Don't let it come that far! don't deposit everything at once, or with just
one casino. If one casino won't let you win, try another. Play at low
wagers, giving you a lot of spins for your money, instead of high ones.
Sure, you may win a lot if you're really, really lucky, but odds day you
won't be. Spread your risk by playing many hands at low wagers, at multiple
casino's and multiple games. If all that still doesn't help, quit! Leave
your balance where it is and come back tomorrow to try your luck again.
