Like I mentioned in one of my first articles, slots are actually one of the best investments you can make if you’re playing on a small budget. It may sound like a very counter-intuitive advice, because aren’t slots extremely random? When you’re playing blackjack, the probability to win is higher than if you play slots, so why not just play that? Well, that’s because they’re two entirely different systems when you’re playing on a budget. Let’s imagine, for the sake of argument, that you’ve got a budget of £20 that you need to use to maximize your gambling enjoyment. With blackjack, you’re going in a high-risk, high reward play where if you win, it’ll definitely help you out a ton, but if you lose, it’ll cripple your budget significantly. People with far bigger budgets don’t care about that, but 2-3 losses in a row can really knock you out of the running when it comes to blackjack, even if a few wins will put you ahead. Slots, however, have far lower limits, and while their odds are lower, you can usually beat them simply through perseverance. But that doesn’t mean every slot is eligible for that treatment.
1. Pick Slots With High RTP and Low Limits
Remember – not all slots are created equal! Some give you a higher chance to win, other – a lower one, and the trick to maximizing your winnings is to, naturally, look for the slots with the highest possible RTPs. Now, keep in mind that most online casinos don’t really show off that information readily, but if you just use Google to look up the name of the slot and add “RTP” to it, you’re going to receive that information pretty easily thanks to review sites that look it up. You should always be aiming for slots with an RTP of 96% or higher, and if you have a choice between two slots which both look good, but one of them has a slightly higher RTP, you should pick that one. With that said, that’s not the only criteria you should be judging slots on…
2. Look For Bonus Games
Free spins, bonus rounds, gamble features, you name it – they’re all extremely helpful to gambling on a budget. Why? Well, because it’s essentially free money! Most of these bonuses activate randomly and don’t depend on the size of your bet or how long you’ve been playing (and in case they do, you should pick a different game where they don’t), so you can earn a whole ton by betting very little, provided you get lucky. I’ve seen instances of people earning over £100 on a bet of under £1 simply by getting lucky on a particularly good bonus game. While my opinion is purely subjective, I’d have to say that the best game you can play for bonus games is “Spider-Man: Attack of the Green Goblin”, and I’m not just saying that because I just watched the best Spider-Man movie ever. “Attack of the Green Goblin” has TONS of bonus games that activate left and right, and some of them allow you to play practically indefinitely as long as you’re lucky!
3. Jackpots Are Your Friend
Now, let me make one thing perfectly clear – you are not going to win the big, multimillion jackpot. Let me say that again. You are NOT going to win the big, multimillion jackpot. Out of hundreds of thousands of people who have tried the slot, those that have won can be counted on one hand, and it’s absolutely and utterly ridiculous to think that you’re going to be one of them. But then again, even if there’s a 0.00000001% chance of you winning, that’s 0.00000001% more than you would’ve had if you played a slot that doesn’t have a jackpot, right? And most jackpots, such as the Marvel Jackpot or the one found in “Mega Moolah”, can be triggered no matter how big your bet is. That’s something worth considering, isn’t it? So if you had a choice between a slot without a jackpot and one with, maybe lean towards the jackpot, especially if it also follows the first two steps. Follow my advice, and you’ll be winning money from slots while playing on a tight budget in no time!
