Introduction This page will introduce you to
the methods that we have been using to make regular profit from playing
online slot machines since 2004. For
this you need to know at least the basic facts about slots as detailed below. If you are already familiar with online
slots you only need read the overviews below, if you are new to slots please
click on more… where it appears for detailed information. These methods mainly focus on
Bonus Video Slots. It is quite important that you know which these are, more… All the slots featured on this
site are categorised into type by software here:- Slots Data The fundamental difference between
Video Slots and the old style Vegas Slots & Fruit Machines is that they
don’t have the restrictions of physical reels, and therefore can be 100%
random. More… For successful slots play it is
extremely important that you understand Variance & Odds, more… It is equally important to know
what the bonus feature actually does on each slot, more… Bonus Video Slot Strategy The strategy we use is actually
extremely simple, it’s a bit like a roulette progressive method but the key
difference is that each spin on a slot is not an ‘all or nothing’ bet,
because you are always getting some return on your bets. This means you can
progress very slowly with a significantly lower overall risk of losing. The first & most important
target is; To leave the slot with more credits than we start with. Given that what we want is the
bonus rounds and that on average they occur once every 130 – 150 spins, what
we do is start with small bets & then gradually increase them the longer
we go on. This is on the basis that the longer we go without the feature
hitting, the more probable it is. More… (coming). So we play say 100 spins at our
minimum (depending on the slot, the minimum is usually either 2c or 5c per
line). Then we increase the bets in small increments every 25 or 50 spins
e.g. 2c, 4c, 6c, 8c. If we get past
say 250 – 300 spins with no feature, or the bank has dropped by more than our
pre-set limit, we stop & try a different slot. Sometimes we alter the total bet by
changing the number of win-lines as well as, or instead of just changing the
stake/line. And that’s pretty much all there is to it! Deciding on the starting minimum
bet is something which comes with experience and can be influenced by many
factors, including; How many win-lines the slot has (less lines = bigger
bets), the slot’s variance, how many credits you have, how lucky you
feel! We recommend that your starting
bet should be no more than 0.5% of your deposit; e.g. Deposit $100 = starting
bet of 50c/spin max. The key to success (as with all
games) is money management - knowing when to stop. Don't lose too much
on one particular game, and quit when
you're ahead & switch to a different game. Like any strategy for any game you do need
a bit of good luck (or at least - not too much bad luck) and more importantly
than anything - you need self-control. Casino Bonuses, Frames &
Targets, Money Management. Vital to any gambling strategy is
having some sort of Money Management philosophy to work to; this can be
greatly aided by setting yourself Frames & Targets. Playing with generous
casino bonuses not only gives you a better chance of winning, but it also
helps to control your play, more… If you are wagering for a bonus
don’t forget to record how much you have wagered and make sure you have met
the amount required in the terms of the bonus, more… And finally… The philosophy here at
SlotBeaters is not to go out & just ruthlessly play casino bonuses for
profit as if it’s some kind of boring job, but to experience the
entertainment & fun of playing slots for real money, but without the risk
of losing a fortune. We have been making regular (small) profits from playing
slots for years, and there is no reason why anyone with a bit of self control
can’t do the same. Disclaimer The free information on this page

info accessed by links above There are literary thousands of
different online slots which can be quite bewildering to the new player, but
they can be broken down into only a handful of different types; Most online slots are traditional
3 or 5 reel type, but different slots have different numbers of pay-lines;- 3-reel; 1, 3 or 5 win lines. 5-reel;
5, 9, 11, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and now even 100 win lines! Then we have different categories
of slots:- Bonus Video; Have one or
more bonus features triggered by getting certain symbols in view. The bonus rounds are normally ‘free-spins’
with a multiplier (eg. 15 free spins with all wins x3), or ‘picks’ where you
click on a number of symbols to reveal a mystery prize, or a combination of
both. Some slots have completely
random features which occur regardless of what is showing on the reels. Progressive Jackpot; Have a
common ‘pool’ of funds contributed to by a number of different slots within
the casino, one type of slots across one casino group, or even ALL casinos of
the same software on the net. This gives a massive jackpot which is usually
won by getting the highest ranking symbols on the highest numbered line
payline on the slot. (e.g. Line 15 on a 15 line slot). Some progressives are also ‘bonus round’
slots and some of these only give the jackpot in the bonus round, while
others still pay as described above. Other Types In addition to the above, you
will also find some more unusual types of slots, for example some have
vertical win-lines as well as the usual horizontal & diagonal ones,
giving us slots with 8, 10 & 18 win-lines. There are even a few slots out
there which have 7 reels, and the fantastic WagerLogic ‘Cubis’ 3-D slot with
15 win-lines in 3 different planes! All the slots featured on this
site are categorised into type by software here:- Slots
Data New to Slots? If you’re new to online slots you
really should play all those you like the sound of in ‘practice mode’ before
you play for real money so you know what to expect. All online casinos should give you the
facility to do this. If you’d like to try some slots
for fun, click below to download a casino while you’re reading this page! No The first thing to be aware of is
what bet level the slot is on when you initially bring it onto your
screen. The vast majority will NOT be
set at the minimum bet level, but you can manually reduce this using the
on-screen control buttons. Note that
the cost indicator is per line, not per spin!
They will also normally be set at
maximum or minimum paylines, which again, you may wish to change. E.g. Some people like to play 25
line slots using only 9 or 15 paylines for various reasons, including making
their money last longer! Many casinos’ have ‘autoplay’ so
you don’t get finger ache clicking that mouse button. MG’s is the best (access by hitting the
‘expert’ button) because you can set it to stop if you hit a big win! You will find the pay-out tables
by clicking on a button somewhere on the screen. Because Video Slots do not have
physical reels, this allows the slots to have ‘weighted’ reels. This is done in one of two ways; a) The reels on a slot do not all
have the same number of symbols on them but each reel still stops in a
completely random position. (E.g. On
Tomb Raider the reels have 24, 28, 34, 40 & 40 symbols. So the chances of getting the scatter
symbol on reel one is 3 in 24, but on reel five it is 3 in 40). b)
The reels all have the same number of symbols, but the odds of each
one appearing is different. E.g. Each reel could have just 10
symbols on it, but it is programmed so that the jackpot symbol only appears Neither of these ways of
weighting means the machine is ‘rigged’ – the results of each spin is still
entirely random, and this weighting just makes for more playing
excitement. Note: Any slots described as ‘UK
Style Fruit Machines’ are NOT random in the way described above. Many card-playing gamblers who
never play slots can't understand how you can profit from games with high
variance and 95% payouts, but you can! Slots are no different from any
other casino game - the house edge is always against you no matter what you
play. With all games you will have
good luck and bad luck – it’s what you do with that luck which makes all the
difference! What is Variance? Quite simply this is the ‘swings
in fortune’ you experience when playing any game. Imagine something like a Roulette
wheel, but with only 20 sectors on it; 19 Blue & 1 Green. If there was a game you could
play on it where you place a bet and if the ball landed in blue you got your
money back, but hit green and you lost, this would be zero variance (and a
totally pointless game to play!) But if the rules were that you
lost if you hit blue, but won your bet x 19 if it went in green this would be
extremely high variance. In both instances the payout
percentage would be 95%, but in the first case you could never win anything
no matter how long you played, while in the second case a short run of
hitting the winning sector 2 or 3 times in a short space of time would enable
you to leave the game with a nice profit.
Conversely you could have a very long run of losing and go bust. Basically then Variance = Risk. When playing the strategy
described on this page; on high variance slots it’s best to start with very
small bets, and vice versa. Knowing your odds Like all casino games, slots have
a house edge – that is to say over an infinite time they pay out less than
100% of what they take in. This varies
from one slot to another but is typically somewhere between 94-97%. Hitting a jackpot on a slot is
quite literally millions to 1 against, but you don’t need to hit the jackpot
to make a profit – all you need is one decent win, or a string of smaller
wins. This is why our preference is for the Bonus Video Slots because the
bonus features can potentially pay very large wins compared to the cost of
the spin (wins of 100 or more x bet are fairly common). To make use of this you also need
to know what the chances of actually getting the bonus is, because if you’re
not hitting the bonus rounds, the chances of profiting are very slim. No casinos I know of publish this
information, and so this has to be worked out by tediously plotting out the
reel layouts for each slot & then applying some complicated
mathematics. One slot takes many, many
hours to analyse, which is why this site was launched with accurate data on
only a handful of slots, but more will be slowly added over time. Our research to date shows that
bonus features are triggered anywhere between once in 50 – 160 spins
depending on the slot in question, these figures are listed out here:- Slots
Data These vary from one slot to
another, but typically bonus rounds are usual triggered either by getting
certain ‘Scatter’ symbols on certain reels, or by getting a set number of
consecutive symbols on a winline. The
bonus itself is usually either a pre-set or random number of ‘free-spins’
with a multiplier which increase the value of your wins by anything from x2
to x25! Or it’s ‘picks’ when you select from a number of symbols on the
screen to reveal random prizes. Some
slots combine the two; you pick symbols that give you a random number of
free-spins! Note that while it is possible
to get very big wins from the bonus rounds, it is also possible on many slots
to get close to, or actually nothing! (This is VERY rare). The Jackpot on most video slots
is getting 5 ‘wild’ symbols on a winline.
On progressive slots these 5 wilds have to be on a particular winline (normally
the highest available; e.g. line 15 on a 15-line slot). Using the calendar month &
Casino Bonus wagering requirements (WR) gives us a '(time) Frame' to work
within & a '(wagering) Target' to aim at. It gives structure to our
gambling and most importantly, a stopping point. For example: A 100$ 100%
bonus with a WR of Bx20 ($2,000); Take the bonus at any time during
a month, and the first target is to finish the WR by the end of that month
while losing as little of the bonus as possible. However, it is vitally
important not to rush – impatient gamblers never win in the long run. When we have completed the
wagering requirements was can decide what to do next. These decisions will be influenced on how
the overall month is looking (including all the casinos being played). If towards the end of the month it is
looking tight (only a small profit) we will take what we have & wait for
the next month. (Remember, the prime target is just to not lose in any
month). If we are well up we may risk a
bit of the profit to see if we can win even more, but we are careful not to
risk too much (say about 20% max). Money Management Money Management gives further
targets which limits potential loss amount in a given month, but with no
limit to how much can be won! Per Casino Limits: The first
limiter is how much is needed to deposit for the bonus we’re claiming. Say we take a bonus on a $100 deposit, and
suffer a complete blow out – we will not deposit more to try to win our money
back, instead we will move on to a different casino, different bonus. So the most that can be lost at that casino
is $100 – but of course, there is no limit to how much that could be won if
we get really lucky! Per Game Limits: Before
playing any game we set targets on how much we are prepared to lose and how
much we are prepared to win! The
maximum loss is easily understood – if we’re having a bad run of luck in a
game we know from experience it does not mean it must turn around & get
better – there is just as much chance of it getting even worse. You may not understand why we have a
‘maximum win’, but remember that the house edge is always against you, so if
you’re ahead it means you have been lucky and are beating the odds. But runs of good luck never go on for ever,
so try to get out before the tide turns the other way. The majority of online casinos have
very poor, or even non-existent game logs where players can check how much
they’ve wagered. Therefore it’s a very good idea to keep tabs as you go
along. The easiest way is to use a
spreadsheet which is set up like the example below. To show how this is filled in, we have
colour coded it; Blue is the data you need to
enter as you play and Red are cells with formulas which automatically
calculate the wagering for you. The
cells at the top are fixed so you can always see where you are in the WR:- (This is a genuine extract from one of my play logs)
