| The
Volatility of Online Slot Machines |
While luck is certainly a big part of taking home the big jackpot
playing online
slots, there are things in your control that can help you have
more fun and stay in the game longer. In other words, you can
stretch out your bankroll and keep yourself alive and ready to nab
a big jackpot when you least expect it.
First off, just as you
would in a land-based casino, only play at those sites which
publish monthly payout reports verifying the return on their slots
(95% and above).. Online Casinos like Villento and other eCOGRA
approved casinos are a great example. That way, you know you are
playing with the fairest odds possible, which are usually better
than what you will find in a land-based Vegas casino.
Secondly,
it's important to know the volatility of the slot machines you
play. Not every online casino will freely share this information.
However, there are some that do. Again,
Casino Villento is a great example of transparency and
fairness. If you need to gauge for yourself, just know that reel
and video slot machines offer more realistic odds than the
progressive jackpot video slots.
The number of a reels
a machine has also affects volatility. There is a better chance of
getting more winning symbol combinations on a three-reel machine
than a five-reel machine. However, the jackpot amounts are smaller
on a three-reel machine.
Know your stake sizes/bankroll
flexibility and choose a slot accordingly. If you have more
flexibility in your bankroll, then you may very well want to play
a progressive game and put up the maximum bet to win. If not,
choose a game with lower stakes & reels.
