Free Offline Slots

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Free offline slots are great if you don’t have continuous Internet access. Just download them, install them in your computer, and voila! You are ready to play. In most cases, you don’t even need complicated java consoles or Flash players. With free offline slots, you can enjoy an exciting game of slots whenever you want to.

Kinds of offline slots

Free offline slots are getting better and better these days. Different versions are now available for different kinds of online gamblers. Take your pick from any of these:

Classic offline slots. These versions look and play like timeless casino slot machines – they typically have three reels and a pay-line. Each classic slot game has its distinct features, like wild symbols and multipliers.

Multi-line offline slots. This kind of free offline slots have high ‘hit rates’ because they have only three reels and numerous pay lines, meaning there are more ways to win in each spin.

Progressive offline slots. Want to win big jackpots? This free offline slot is perfect for you. Practice before you bet real money in real online casinos. Remember that real progressive slots often give out jackpots well over a hundred grand so practice, practice, practice.

Offline slots with extra features. Many offline slots are now packed with extra features to improve your gaming experience. These bonus features may include bonus spins, the right to hold the reels and free sessions that give you the extra opportunity to win even more.

Some reminders

When you are ready to play real online slots, remember not to be too greedy. The best way to win is to end your session as soon as your bankroll is 20 or 25 percent bigger than the amount you started with. That ‘return of investment’ is reasonable. If you bet $100 on slots, for example, do not aim at a $10,000 prize. Your goal should be $125—that’s more realistic and achievable. After all, how else can you get 25 percent return on your money that quickly?

Know when to quit. Many players do win big amounts in free online slots, but their discontent makes them lose everything they win. They tend to keep playing until all of their money is all gone. Don’t fall into the same trap.

Playing Online Slots - A Beginner’s Guide To Hitting The Jackpot

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

While playing online slot playing is a game of chance as we have seen in part 1 of this essay there are certain ways to maximize your winnings.

Here is a 10 point guide to playing online slots and increasing your chances of winning the jackpot.

1. Emotions!

Slots are simple, fun and easy to play and it’s easy to get carried away

It is therefore very important in playing any game with a house edge to have some money control.

When playing online slots its imperative you need to set a bank roll you can afford to lose for each session.

When the session is over that’s it you walk away. Don’t chase losses.

2. Don’t Play Full Coin Unless You Need To

Don’t play full coin on machines that are “equal distribution” or “straight multipliers.”

If you look across the highest pay line and see something like: 100 coins for one coin; 200 coins for two coins; 300 coins for three coins.

You need to be aware that adding extra coins to that first one does not get you anything extra.

You are simply playing two times as much to win two times as much.

3. Maximum Coins on Progressives

You have to play maximum coins on a progressive machine to be able to win the progressive jackpot and that’s the only reason your really playing these online slot machines.

If you don’t play maximum coins, you’re just building the jackpot for another player with no chance to win it yourself.

4. Machines are hot and cold

Don’t believe the common held belief that slot machines are hot or cold and that if you can figure out these streaks you can beat the machine – you can’t.

In hindsight, you can the winning and losing cycles, which are the result of the random nature of the game, and cycles are only visible once they have been.

5. Slot Systems

Don’t try them! They don’t work. Playing online slots is totally random and the previous history of reels payouts etc is to. You cannot use a system on a random game of chance – Period!

6. Play Machines You’re Comfortable With

Pick a machine you really enjoy playing and then play that machine for maximum payout possible.

If you like the idea of huge jackpots, then play progressives.

If, on the other hand if, you want a chance to have fun and win smaller amounts, your best bet would be playing one coin machines and having some fun.

Just go with a machine your comfortable with.

7. Check the Payout Table

Read the directions on the multi-line games carefully to maximize your payout.

When playing these online slot machines each coin opens up new lines and/or symbols that can see what it is you want to win and then make sure you play number of coins to win the payback your are happy with.

8. Play Higher Denominations

If you can afford it, you may consider going to larger denominations, say to a single one-dollar coin.

When playing online slot machines the higher the denomination, the better the payback.

9. The House Edge Take Profits

Slot machines have a larger house edge than other casino games and you need to keep this in mind.

While winning is the aim when playing online slot machines, over the long run it will cost you money to play as the odds are stacked against you.

If you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot bank the majority or all of your winnings and count your blessings.

In any session if you are a good way ahead it’s an idea to bank and walk away.

10. Have Fun

If you play online slots machines make sure you enjoy them and have fun expect to lose but also be prepared to win! Imagine walking away with a million jackpot.

It’s this possibility that makes playing online slots so exciting, have fun.
