"Well said, ""Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories!"" This principle also applies to playing slot machines for me. When I play slot machines, I usually choose games that I'm very familiar with. There are many different styles of slot machines, and each game has its own temperament and personality. So, how can one establish a certain level of intimacy with slot machines to better understand their characteristics? The answer is: Free play!
Many platforms offer the option to try games for free. However, some players believe that playing for free doesn't allow them to withdraw any winnings, considering it a waste of time and, thus, have a strong aversion to free play. For me, there's no better way to quickly understand the nature of an electronic game (winning patterns, free game modes, exciting rhythms). However, I have always been curious about the profitability of free play for players and whether it's the same as real-money games (it often feels like free play results in more wins). Still, in terms of bankroll management and game feel, practicing through free play is an excellent option. I recommend that players, especially those new to slot machines, use free play to get to know them. It's best to choose games with the same number of paylines and try two from each platform. This is my quick start technique for every slot machine game.
To help you better understand, here's how I play the ""Deep Blue Sea"" game on the PT platform and my strategies. The ""Deep Blue Sea"" game from PT doesn't have a progressive jackpot, so the player's profitability is undoubtedly higher than games with a jackpot. In addition, the possibility of up to 33 free spins or up to 10x winnings in the free game mode is very attractive to me. From my experience of playing, this game has three winning combinations that pay out with just two symbols, and the payout amount generally ranges from 20% to 35% of the bet amount. This is one of the most critical factors for small to medium-sized players to win big.
My strategy, which I call the ""321 strategy,"" involves setting three different bet amounts based on my initial capital and executing them according to multipliers. For example, if I deposit 500 yuan, I calculate my bet amounts like this:
1% of the initial capital (500 yuan) is 5 yuan.
The minimum coin value in the game is 0.01, and it's a 25-line game with a minimum bet of 0.10 per line, which means the minimum total bet is 2.5 yuan.
Minimum bet: 2.5 yuan (assuming a losing streak every round, you can bet 200 rounds).
Normal bet: 5 yuan (assuming a losing streak every round, you can bet 110 rounds).
Maximum bet: 12.5 yuan (assuming a losing streak every round, you can bet 44 rounds). I recommend that players decide the maximum bet based on their risk tolerance and not exceed 2% of their initial capital.
Once you've calculated this, follow the 3-2-1 formula to determine the number of spins for each bet amount. For this game, I choose a multiplier of 10, so:
2.5 yuan: 5 x 3 = 15 spins.
5 yuan: 5 x 2 = 10 spins.
12.5 yuan: 5 x 1 = 5 spins.
With everything set up, you can start the game: 15 spins with 2.5 yuan, 10 spins with 5 yuan, 5 spins with 12.5 yuan, and repeat. The most important aspect of this playstyle is not to be greedy. Basically, in each betting amount's process, you may encounter games with significant payouts. When playing with 5 yuan or 12.5 yuan bets and you win five times your bet or more, immediately switch back to the base 2.5 yuan bet and start with 15 spins. This is the essence of the 321 strategy, and I encourage you to give it a try." |
