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

I know that winning at slots is mostly based on luck, but in the 3 years I’ve been gambling, I’ve developed some basic tactics to maximize my winnings. Here are some key points of my approach:


High RTP Slots: Before I start playing any slot that I like visually, I always check its RTP and try my best to play only those that are 97% or higher.


Small Bets: I don’t go for high bets, since I enjoy the process of playing and don’t want to lose all my money at once. Besides, I can increase my bets just a bit to win back lost money (but with this strategy, you have to know when to stop). I don’t raise bets higher than $4-$5 per spin.


Changing Slots: When it feels like a slot is just 'eating' my money without any wins, I never hesitate to switch to another one. I can’t say I follow any specific logic here; I just call it intuition. Anyway, slots have different algorithms and stuff, so changing them from time to time certainly won't hurt.


Last but not least, I try to play on platforms that offer the opportunity to earn back some of my money through additional perks. One of my favorite projects features its own in-house token, which I can earn as rakeback. They also allow for staking this token, further improving my financial outcomes.


Thus, using all these tactics simultaneously reduces the chances of losing quite significantly. Do you guys have anything to add to my points? Maybe I've 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!

The best tactic I recommend to maximize your chances of winning is not to play. This tactic promises a 100% success rate.

Now you have "thrown" so many things at the (almost pitiful) Bacchus that do not arise from his statements. He is simply 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 runs 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

As a long-time player, the title alone makes you smile.

My guess is that the TE is still young or has only recently started gambling. Let's ask him again in a few years' time 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 rather low in common parlance would also be an open question, but I don't know his financial background

In any case, he doesn't seem to have got to know the negative side of gambling and is not yet aware of the actual chances 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 is 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

It's simply a case of two different experiences coming together here. On the one hand, players who have already experienced a lot and, on the other, the naive thinking that gambling can be outwitted.


Of course, it can make sense to pursue strategies where you lose as little as possible. But these people don't yet know how quickly addiction can strike. A stroke of fate, a girlfriend leaves, something happens in the family, a job is terminated, etc. and the rules no longer apply and you're gambling like a madman.

As long as you play regularly, this scenario always hangs over you like a sword of Damocles and the TE is not yet aware of this.

And "controlled gambling" is also minus EV and always has a negative expected value, without exception. What the TE is describing sounds to me a bit like an amateur sportsman showing his tactics for knocking out Mike Tyson.

He was pretty good now....I assume we won't learn more about him because he may remain a one-hit wonder. It is and remains a dangerous business and you'd do well to keep working on yourself if you're in it regularly. I think we can all agree on that

Well, in principle I just wanted to expand his tactics guide alibi based on my own experiences that I was allowed to make over time!
In principle, I thought the same way 6 years ago and was probably even more superstitious and tactical than he was!
That's why I wanted to give him what I think is important 🤷‍♀️

But someone wants to tell him something about tactical nonsense, who has renamed himself from BinGOLD to BinGOLDiG in the hope of being drawn by the random generator again in the future 😄🤷‍♀️😁

The RPT point may be true for him, but knowing that Dear Bacchus lives in Prague, there is a high probability that he is 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

i fully agree. I hadn't even noticed where he lives, but he won't have had too many points of contact with German casinos In this context, it would be interesting to know how many people from abroad are voluntarily registered to play in German casinos StarGames Official could certainly provide a revealing percentage

None at all, because you are only allowed to play in German casinos if you are a German resident. Didn't you know that?
