Slot machines are fun, but only if you’re winning. While it is true that the results of all spins are random and therefore have no relationship with the previous spins, there are nevertheless some mistakes that everyone, not just new players, tend to commit that worsen your chances of winning. We cover a few that you may not have considered in your quest to beat the casinos.

Not Reading the Casino’s Bonus Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions, boring right? Not true, at least when it comes to bonuses. If you think you can just wager it all, you are making a potentially costly mistake. No business will give free money, and the same goes for casinos. All casinos that offer bonuses have rules. The most common ones are the following:

Wagering requirement – A number that is expressed as a multiplier. If the casino says that your bonus money has 35x wagering requirement, then you must bet 35x the amount of the bonus you received. If the casino gave you $100, then you have to wager a total of $3,500 before you can withdraw from your bonus winnings.

Wagering limit – Most casinos impose a maximum bet from the bonus. Typically, this is capped at $5. If you break this rule, you will forfeit your bonus and all the winnings derived from it.

Game contribution – Slot machines usually have 100% game contribution to your wagering requirement. Using the earlier example, the casino will subtract $5 from the $3,500 requirement for every $5 you bet. But not all slot machines are like this, as some do not even contribute. This is where reading the terms and conditions is critical, so you know which slots are excluded.

Playing the Game Blind

New players often simply open a slot machine and spin away without knowing how the game really works, praying for luck. Experienced players may be even more guilty of this, looking at a game and thinking they know how it will work just from experience of others. The truth is that nearly all games are different, so play the demo version first and do some research outside of the game, hunting around for hints and tips that might increase your odds. You’ll be surprised what you might find.

Playing with No Bankroll Management

Before you play, you must have a strategy on how you will manage your bets. Make sure you know how the game’s betting system works, have a limit on how much you are going to spend per game, or per session, and stick to it. Bet in accordance to your strategy, not with your emotions. Exuberance or vengeance betting is the quickest way to lose your bankroll and hammer your bank balance.
