Online Slots Gambling | Slots

Let’s dispel a few myths about online slots gambling:

MYTH #1: There’s no strategy whatsoever involved with online gambling on slots.

FALSE: It’s true that online slots is based on luck and chance, as opposed to some casino games that have a healthy dose of skill involved.  The fact that slots is a game of chance doesn’t mean that there is nostrategy involved.  Some factors such as a chosen machines payout percentage is an important starting strategy.  For example, you always want to choose a machine that offers the highest payout percentage – typically in the slots worlds, the Jacks Or Better and Deuces Wild games have some of the best payouts.

MYTH #2: Casinos regularly monitor slots, controlling when they hit jackpots or not.

FALSE. This isn’t candid camera – big brother isn’t scoping out each machine.  Each machine is governed by computer programs and powered by a Random Number Generator which, by very definition, generates patternless sequences.

MYTH #3: If a slot machine hasn’t “hit” in a while, it’s due to hit soon.

FALSE. Remember that Random Number Generator?  It’s completely random.  One spin does not depend on the previous spin or spins, just like any future spins will not be impacted by your current spin.  In other words, you have the exact same chance of hitting a jackpot on your first spin than you would on your 100th.

MYTH #4: You can’t win playing slots, or when you do, it’ll be offset by all of the money that you’ve put into the machine.

FALSE. Here’s one very interesting fact:  historically, most lucky progressive jackpot winners didn’t spend much time on their winning machines before they hit the jackpot.  Two months ago, the largest progressive slot machine jackpot ever was won (to the order of $8.6 million!) by a man that spend less than two minutes playing.  And in 2003, the 25-year old man that walked away with $40 million at Vegas’ Excalibur Hotel reportedly hadn’t been on his machine for longer than three minutes before the bells and whistles went crazy. If they’d started with a no deposit bonus, it might have been a 100% free win!

The fact is online slots gambling has something that most other casino games don’t – the opportunity of getting VERY rich quickly with a relatively small bet.

MYTH #5: Playing a slot machine is your worst bet, compared to all other casino games.

FALSE.  This really needs to be qualified.  It’s true that the house edge for some of the other games that require specific skills, like Poker or Blackjack, can be lower but that IF you have those specific skills.   If you haven’t mastered Blackjack’s “Basic Strategy”, or have no idea how to play Poker, then no, online slots gambling is a better bet than those others.    You cannot compare apples with oranges – Slots, like Roulette, is a game based on luck, and you cannot compare a strategy-based game, such as Blackjack, side by side.

In fact, the simplistic, relaxing nature of playing slots is one of the reasons why so many people enjoy playing them.  It’s pure entertainment, and with payouts as high as 98% giving players the chance to win BIG,what’s not to enjoy?
