More than many other forms of gambling, online slots are designed, first and foremost, to be fun. You place your bet, you set the reels spinning and you see where they fall. Pretty often you get to enjoy bonus features like wild symbols, multipliers and free spins<\/a>. Unlike a game such as poker, which involves a player making decisions and assessing the relative strength of other players, winning and losing on slots involves no skill. The results of each spin are entirely random<\/a>, and anyone who promises a betting strategy that guarantees winning on slots is not being entirely honest. That\u2019s not to say, however, that there aren\u2019t certain steps you can take to try to minimize your losses, have fun playing slots for longer and \u2013 just possibly \u2013 increase the likelihood that you might win. At the very least, you can take note of the following tips to choose the next slot you play much more carefully, making sure that it fits exactly with your favored style of playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set a Bankroll and Stick to It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the cornerstone of virtually every successful betting\nstrategy<\/a>, and not following it is the mistake which is most likely to set\nthe keen amateur apart from an experienced gambler who plays slots on a regular\nbasis. Before you start playing slots, sit down and decide exactly how much you\nwould be happy to lose. Not how much you can afford to lose \u2013 but how much you\ncould feasibly lose and yet still find the experience of playing slots to be\nfun and entertaining. Once you\u2019ve decided what that figure is, you have to make\nsure you stick to it. This is a question of will power more than anything else,\nof course, but you can help yourself by matching the slots you play to the size\nof your bankroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve got a small bankroll of \u00a330, for\nexample, then it\u2019s probably best not to bet on a game which involves a \u00a32 stake\nfor every spin. Before you know it, you\u2019ll have run through your funds and be\ntempted to add \u2018just a bit more\u2019.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Chase Losses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another key part of managing your bankroll\nis resisting the temptation to chase your losses. If you\u2019ve played a slot for\nan hour without winning very much, the temptation is to believe that it just\nhas to be on the verge of a big pay-out. This is a myth which dates back to the\nera of mechanical slots which would fill up with money before paying out, or\ncould be expected to pay out every so many spins. Modern slots, whether\nland-based or online, are controlled by random number generators (RNG), which\nensure that each spin is an individual event in itself and completely random.\nYou\u2019re just as likely to win for two spins in a row as you are if you haven\u2019t\nwon at all for fifteen spins.          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High\nor Low Variance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to assume that all online slots\noffer pretty similar odds when it comes to paying out. This isn\u2019t true,\nhowever. The most obvious exceptions are the big jackpot progressive slots,\nwhich pay out very rarely but offer huge winnings when they do. Amongst\nstandard slots, however, you\u2019ll find high and low variance slots. Put simply,\nthis means the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
