Tips, tricks, strategies... : How I Maximie Chances to Win with Smart Tactics

Bacchus wrote on 04.01.2024 at 14:47: I know that winning at slots depends mostly on luck, but in the 3 years I've been playing, I've developed some basic tactics to maximize my wins. Here are some key points of my approach:


Slots with high RTP: Before playing a slot that I visually like, I always check the RTP and try my best to only play those that are 97% or higher.


Small bets: I don't go for high bets because I enjoy playing and I don't want to lose all my money at once. Also, I can increase my bets a little to win back lost money (but with this strategy you need to know when to stop). I don't raise my bets higher than $4-$5 per round.


Change Slot machines: If I feel like a Slot machine is "eating" my money without winning anything, I never hesitate to switch to another one. I can't say that I follow any particular logic here; I just call it intuition. Besides, slot machines have different algorithms and so it certainly doesn't hurt to change them from time to time.


Last but not least, I try to play on platforms that offer the opportunity to earn some of my money back through additional perks. One of my favorite projects has its own token that I can earn as rakeback. It is also possible to stake this token, which further improves my financial results.


If I use all these tactics at the same time, the Risk of losing is significantly reduced. Do you have anything else to say about my points? Maybe I missed something?

Tactic no.5


The most important tactic is to put tactical procedures out of your mind because there are no logical procedures in gambling!
Unfortunately, it's all in your head!
No matter how much rtp an automaton has, if it's not your day, it won't be haunted with 99% probability!
In the same way it can happen that you get the highest win on a slot with only 87% rtp!
The rtp value of a slot says nothing about its own success!

Tactic no.6

Never play and focus on winning!
You should rather focus on having fun!

Tactic no.7

Only invest as much money as you can spare and assume in advance that this money will be gone after your game session!
As soon as you lose too much you will automatically enter the saving dead mode where you try to recoup your losses and at the latest then you are about to fall into an uncontrolled addiction!!!

Gambling is not a method of earning a regular income!
Quite the opposite, my dear!

My guess is that the TE is still young or has only recently started gambling. Let's ask him again in a few years how well his tactics worked.

But he has quite a full beard...he can't be that young anymore Whether the betting amount of 4$/5$ is now rather low in general jargon would also be an open question, but I don't know his financial background

In any case, he doesn't seem to have learned the negative side of gambling yet, nor is he aware of the actual odds of winning.


The developmental phase of a gambler in fast-forward:

Phase 1: Of course we're going to the casino for Hanne's birthday, what could possibly go wrong?

Phase 2: Wow, I've won €100 with €2, I'm going to get rich quick.

Phase 3: Googling tips and tricks for slots and roulette. If the second Scatter is in the penultimate position in Book of Dead, then you have to move up to 8 lines and €3 and then on the 239th spin....

Phase 4: Oh, I'll pay the rent later, I have an overdraft anyway.

Phase 5: Why is it suddenly so dark in the apartment?

It may well be that there may still be a lack of experience, but I think he came off too badly in Bingoldig's (difficult word ) initial analysis. I've read approaches that others don't even begin to take to heart, even though they've been playing for years. I just wanted to correct it a bit according to my understanding and I would really appreciate it if Bacchus would speak up again so that he can add his view of things

What the TE is describing sounds to me a bit like an amateur sportsman showing his tactics for knocking out Mike Tyson.

Now you've "thrown" so many things at (the almost pitiful) Bacchus that don't arise from his statements. He's just talking about how he optimizes his playing style so that he feels most comfortable with it.

His primary tactic is that he regularly changes games when they are not going well. There's nothing wrong with that.

He doesn't write a single syllable about the fact that he only thinks about winning. He talks about minimizing his Risk of loss, which is a good thought that far too many people have far too rarely. He mentions his enjoyment of the game and that he will stop if necessary if his method of increasing his bets doesn't seem to be working, but I can't see why he has an "uncontrolled addiction" and there's no mention of the fact that he sees this as a way of generating a regular income

Quite apart from that: of course - as you rightly write - you can clear a full board with 87% RTP one day and the cash register rings before everything just slips through your fingers the next day in a 97% RTP monster house. Nevertheless, the RTP value says a lot about what will end up in your pocket in the medium and especially long term. These are theoretical probabilities and they are converted into % values for a reason. As an example: the "German casinos" do not deduct any direct tax from every spin, but they still have to pay it to the state. So the money has to be collected in other ways....via the lower RTP => less payout than in unregulated casinos, so less money back for the player. As mentioned, it doesn't have to be noticeable in one or two evenings...but let a hundred people from here Deposit €50 a day at regulated booth X and €50 at unregulated booth Y for a month. The result will be relatively clear when the cash register is audited

The RPT point may be true for him, but knowing that Dear Bacchus lives in Prague, there's a high probability that he's not familiar with German casinos. Otherwise he wouldn't mention this high RTP value ^^


To put it nicely, his tips are the "ABC" of a gambler. Basically, he writes a) play within your budget, b) play on sites where you get the most cashback/bonuses and c) change the slot/machine when it is in "eating mode".

Well-intentioned tips, but you can come to these conclusions with common sense. Well, in today's society you have to strongly doubt whether everyone really has common sense

In this context, it would be interesting to know how many people from abroad are voluntarily registered to play in German casinos
