The Right Coin Amount and Penny Slot Machines

Added: September 28, 2013

Every spin in a slot machine carries a lot of decisions with it, and one of the most puzzling one is to decide how many coins to bet in every spin. The first thing to keep in mind is that more is most of the time better for your profiting, but not always for your bankroll. Therefore, every online casino player should try to balance which option is more convenient at a given time. Today, we will talk about how to make good decisions when deciding how many coins to play and we will also go into detail about penny slot machines and their true value.

A lot of the time slot machines will give pay out a multiplier of the number of coins you wager, for example some can give you more than twice the payout when you put in twice as many coins in a spin. Therefore, it is recommendable that you max out the number of coins you play as opposed to betting single coins, because your chances of winning a bigger prize will increase. This also means that your expected value will be higher, so you will be making bigger profits in the long run.

In other cases, there can be a slot machine that will pay 5 credits for a single quarter on a winning combination, but will pay 15 credits for the same combinatin if you play two quarters. If you play the maximum quarters (say, five) then the same combination can result in 800 credits. The chances of winning become exponentially higher, so the more you bet, the more you can win. However, this can eventually add up to $10 per spin, depending on the number of paylines. In the latter situation, you must determine what your bankroll can handle.Finally, penny slot machines are really in nowadays, and it only requires one penny per spin. The truth is that you only get the high winning rate if you bet one penny at a time. These machines will try to make you bet more than one penny at a time and end up paying you a lower trate. In some of these machines you can bet up to 1,000 pennies at a time for $10, so be careful with the conditions they offer because pinching pennies can end up backfiring.
