Slot machines are the most entertaining way to use a random number generator that was ever invented. Each slot machine has a specific chance for each winning combination, but that chances aren’t stacking, and each particular spin is entirely random. That’s the thing, some players forget about, and it’s hazardous. The randomness of slot games from reputable providers is externally tested many times before a game appears in any casino. Of course, slots have RTP rates that show a percentage of money that a casino keeps for each dollar wagered. Usually, that percentage is above 95% and below 99%, and it doesn’t seem too much.

No one says that you will receive the money you wagered: it might be anyone else. RTP rate shows how much a casino will earn, but not how much you personally will keep. Even if a thousand gamblers lose a thousand dollars each, and then another one will get a $950,000 jackpot - it will be within the framework of fair RNG. Each particular spin is random and isn’t influenced by previous wins or losses. Some players forget about that and believe that the longer a losing streak is, the more massive a win will be. It’s not true.

There are no wagering systems that will help you to win, and there are no ways to trick the RNG, except hacking into casino software, which is illegal. Still, some measures might help you:

1. The number of paylines doesn’t affect your chances to win, as each payline ads some amount to the total wager. Still, not picking all paylines will rid you of the chance to see a jackpot combination on the payline that you did not activate.
2. Check the RTP rate before picking a game to play. This is the simplest and the most efficient way to maximize your chances. It doesn’t guarantee anything, though.
3. If you won big - cash out. It’s as simple as it could be. Having money in your hands or on your bank account makes them more valuable compared to having them on your casino account, where you can spend them all in few clicks.
4. If you’re playing a progressive slot - make sure that your bet meets the minimal requirements for a jackpot. If a game offers you some possibilities - use them, and maybe fortune will smile to you.

There are hundreds of how-to guides and thousands of gamblers swearing that they know a secret way to win, playing slot machines. The only thing they all have in common is that they all are lying. There are now legal methods to maximize your chances, except the ones written above, so we hope that you’ll abide them, and win.
