  • I'm finding it more and more useful practising games  I don't know using freeplay mode before I go into real particularly netent games and microgaming.I just imagine its real and play exactly the way I would with real if you get 5000 play credits just use the hundreds imagine its only the hundreds there dont even think about the other 4900 its a great way to practise and realistic to imagine you have put in 100 or If you'd rather do 50 using this realistic method I won 2 or 3 thousand slowly yesterday would have been epic for real but be wary the play one also requires the slot to play out before it pays out so start off with low bets! oh and one last thing to bear in mind try to stop the scatter on netent when two scatters appear on first two reals of netent slots if stopped quick enough and timed perfectly you could have an epic win like I have! best of luck!

  • I do practice with play money but only on one site and that is Jackpot Party Casino.

    I played hundreds on one slot in play money mode and never got the bonus round once.  Needless to say, I don't play that slot for real money. 

    It certainly does help.

  • as every session is totally different from the next, practicing on playmode wont help your chances of winning.  it is coincidence if you win.  also,  sometimes it appears like you stopped the real on the winning combo......but you didnt really stop the reel...it is programed to stop exactly where it stopped.....there is no giant secrets to winning...you need to be at the right place at the right time......pure luck....i am curious to hear what others think.....please chime in

  • I've still yet to deposit in jackpot party must do it soon! Blueday try practising with netent too will definitely benefit you If you can master catching scatters you will win a fortune smiley won't be long till I have a big win again best net ent is jack and beanstalk,gonzos quest(change after you win the freefalls and you cant stop and start this),Secret code,Suptopia,Thunderfist,Crime Scene

  • Dabigdog try it for yourself trust me I stop it otherwise thered be no point having a stop button its all down to timing but trust me stopping it by yourself is possible all down to timing

    somebody else please chime in on this  HELP!
  • bigdk,  the reason for having a STOP button is so the player thinks he/she is stopping it...it is player interaction.......it is not really stopping the reel...it is alll predetermined....when you hit a bonus round,  the amount you will  win is already figured...everytime...you may think you did something but that is not how the games work

  • So what your saying is there is no point in stopping as it doesnt mean anything?what I dont get is if this is the case why is it the 3rd scatter looks nowhere near it would be caught if not stopped?

    That is true since u can see ur balance (like the spin is already done) if u open cashier in new window after the reels have spin. Same as MG it doesnt matter do u stop it or not.
    Actually when i started playing casinos i thought it would matter but naa.. smiley
  • yes,  unfortunately you are not really stopping the wheel....it is an option that makes the player feel better that "if the reel stops on the right place" the player did this.......perhaps some others will help to explain.....i know LIPS has experience the predetermined bonus round amount before from a previous thread

  • I'm with dabigdog on this one.  doesn't matter which method you use, it's all randomly predetermined.  

    so don't feel bad if you always pick the wrong bonus or stop the reels on the wrong spot; it isn't really up to you what goes on with the slot machine.

  • It would be cool if it were that way. Would be more skill than luck cheesy

  • I get it, it's psychological ok so how about being able to predict free spins is that possible because on many slots I have by different signs Ie two scatters often slot machine spinning faster and lots of wins help me indicate its going to trigger

    pure coincidence......if you are using your principles/techniques on very low wagers...it may seem like they work because if they dont work you still have a balance.......BUT...if they did work......you could NEVER LOSE.....and the casinos would have a problem with that
  • They want you to feel that way.  It makes the play more exciting and hopefully enticing to put money in. 

    I sometimes play for practice with keno, to see if I can get a pattern that seems to play well.  Even knowing I'm just spinning my wheels.

  • I can't speak for all software but i do think if a slot is set at a higher percentage payout it will be the same in fun mode. And from a regulatory standpoint they are suppose to be the same results. As far as the predetermined bonus rounds don't beat yourself up for choosing the wrong box etc you don't have a hand in that process.

    With Mad Hatters on Microgaming, I can pretty much predict when I'm going to get a bonus round.  If you get two of the little bunnies in the blue hat on two attached reels i.e. reels 3 and 4 and the next spin you get a bunny in a blue hat on a different reel, the free spins are coming soon.  I've never seen it fail - so predictions are definitely possible imho.  

    I don't know about stopping the reels though.  You may recall my Alaskan Fishing problem where when I hit spin and then click on the desktop, my balance shows the win before the reels have finished spinning.  Even if I click "stop" I get the same win - I wouldn't like to say whether it is possible to stop the reels on a win that you weren't going to get in the first place.

  • I like to play in fun mode. I always have to see what's hot. The bonuses etc are predetermined but sometimes they give us signs as to when they're coming. You can tell with some software as was said. There are certain WMS slots at Jackpot Party that give an indicator that the bonus is around the corner. The graphics sort of skip for a split second on some of the slot games. 9 times out of 10 the bonus is triggered when that happens.

  • i would be betting $20 dollars a spin if i thought i knew the bonus was coming.....but also....i can only play RTG being in the states so that is all i know

  • I usually dont miss a chance to play in practice mode and test new games. I strongly believe there are certain benefits.

    Many times when you see the review, you can read about cool features or huge potential or some cool interesting theme but its all like that "on papper", you dont really get a clear picture about the game untill you try it. I will also stress that imression about game variance, hit chance and similar things are not something we can test ourselves reliably but we can make some basic distinction wheather slot hit chance is really high or really low, or wheather wins usually cover the initial bet or not.

    Some software providers however have payouts set very loose, or even feature set to trigger within certain usually small number of spins with huge wins derived from it. IGT games would be a perfect example for it, I spend hours of testing it with my friends. Also, game experience differs a lot from real play because of different coin sizes and maximum stakes. Those are softwares where playing practice mode have no practical value.

    Software manufacturers like Microgaming, NetEnt, Rival and especially RTG offer very realistic, if not exactly the same gaming experience as real play, so practicing their games can be beneficial.

    One thing however I dont believe is that you can practice skill on slots. I may be wrong, but its simply what my years long experience as a slot player tells me. Slots are not skill games, there isnt anything one can achieve by that kind of practicing other than MAYBE very very unreliable ability to distinct loose game from tight game, or maybe that random jackpot is to be won sometimes soon.

    I have a friend that was once claiming how he can stop a third scatter by skill on RTG games. RTG is perfect software to notice a pure cosmetic in it. If you watch very very carefully when you manualy stop the reels you will see that what you saw before you stoped changes before your eyes into something that is not even similar in color. So my oppinion is that its just a gambling myth.

  • Thats a good tip Blue day thanks! I noticed same sign on mega moolah when the jackpot is due the slot stops suddenly then 2 or 3 later you get the jackpot also on the download when it flickers a good line win is due up! another tip is if it goes around slowly for one or 2 spins up the bet as a good win is near enough certain! good luck folks!

  • I often play in practice mode but only because I like to check the features that a certain slot has. I usually play in a bet range that I would play for real money so that I could check how well the slot pays. In short, with the parctice play I just like to check out a given paytable. If I think that a slot has a potential, I will play it for money.

  • However what I stated above about mega moolah are tips for download version on the flash the key is if the slot does a strange almost 1,2,3,4,5 that means a 5 in a row is due or the free spins you can almost count it out its not a normal reel spin

  • i like to play in free mode , i play keno for the same reason chilly does

  • The best pattern I've found looks like a scorpion.  I went from about .12 to over $200 with one of those.  And it wasn't on free play-it was on a free chip and eventually I zeroed out without quite making the playthrough.
