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.
