Picking Online Slots According to Stakes

There are literally hundreds of different slot machines to choose from when gambling in the online casino. Aside from the more obvious differences like cosmetic appearance and game theme, slot machines vastly differ from one another in the reel and payline amounts, as well as the stake denominations and payout percentage.

The stake denominations should be each players primary concern, for this answers two very important questions, "How much can I afford to gamble"? and "How much can I afford to lose"?

If you like playing slot machines in the online casino, you need to know what size stake to gamble with if you do not want to exceed these amounts. A good way to determine what size stake you should play at an online slot machine is by using the formula that states online gamblers will spin the reels six-hundred times per hour on average. At this rate, average earnings or losses per hour is $2.50 for five cents stakes, $12.80 for fifty cents stakes, and $25 per hour for $1 stakes. Although the payout percentage is better for fifty cent slots than it is for nickel slots (96% as opposed to 92%), if you cannot afford to lose more than $12.80 per hour, you should stick to nickel slots.

Another question to ask yourself at this time is "How much time do I want to spend gambling in the online casino"? If, by chance, you are content with possibly gambling for only a single hour, then by all means play the fifty cent slot machine.
