Let's talk slots strategies

I just wanted to share a few things I have experienced playing ignition slots and sister sites like cafecasino and slots lv

Feel free to share your thoughts and personal experiences.

Everyone has their own strat. I personally jump from game to game. The only game that I will stay at for a long time is golden buffalos. It seems to be the outlier. It is the only game I can think of that you can hit a 640 dollar win from a 40 cent bet. Most other games seem to be about 500x for a nice hot not including progressives. I don’t even count those because I’m not even sure they are real. I’m not sure the hot drops are real either.

Most every time when I get a good hit it comes off the first 50 spins. If I sit there and try to force a bonus round the payout usually sucks.

If I do get a nice hit I usually leave the game very quickly because they like to take that winning away from you. I will stick around for maybe 10 or 20 more spins because back to backs do happen.

I’m not sure who makes this game but the games made by the same company that make dragon blast, Crystal Crater, and jungle jam seem to let you play a little longer without hitting the kill switch. Except that cat game I do not understand that.it’s horrible.

I never use bonuses unless it’s for free spins. Deposit bonuses will only make you mad because if you hit something you will never meet the rollover requirements, unless you are betting horses then you might walk away with some of it.

I’m curious if other people have taken a beating at a game and actually came out with a win during the same session.

I’m also curious if somebody betting 40 cents has been has the same odds of hitting a progressive jackpot as somebody betting $10 a spin. That’s considering the jackpots are even real. Does a small bet even have a chance?

Just for some input I’ll share my experience today. Deposited about $100 and was up and down for a while playing bounty hunter . I left @ $150 and went to monster manor. Ran it pretty much straight to the ground doing $2.5 spins . Did my last pull and missed leaving $2 in my balance. Irritated I dropped it .50 for four more spins cause why not right? Hit the free spins the very first pull, thought “of course it hits now since I down-bet” but still would definitely take it over bricking out. Hit maybe $40 off it. Bumped up to $1 for a bit up and down then started to heat up with some lines hits so bumped back up to $2.50 finally hit a free spins , only paid 40x for $100 , but still something. Kept running it for a bit and hit another . This time got a pretty decent win , free spins paid about 200x or $500 total. (Image attached) So in short. Ran $150 down into $2. Dropped my bet hit something, then ran up to $700 . Slots are crazy and stuff like this will happen . I’ve ran up a bankroll from $200 to $2000 or so before and instead of cashing it out I lost most of it like the degenerate I am. With $500 left and some built up frustration said screw it and went to the OG reels and wheels doing $20 pulls. Missed all the way until my very last spin (exactly $20 in my balance) hit the bonus and the wheel landed on the 250x for $5,000. I may be a dumbass but I was a lucky dumb ass that day lol. Most important thing is go with your gut, don’t try to force it, and only play when you’re having fun imo

That’s really good ! I can’t get lucky. What would you consider og games or good games to play?

By OG reels and wheels I just was clarifying that it was the classic game not the XL version lol. Honestly it’s different for everyone. Some games I do great on and my friends can’t win at all and some they do great that I hate. I like to jump around and usually don’t stay forever unless a game consistently is running good . Seems like you can get in a grove where you’ll find a game and it will hit you good for a bit before tanking so you can hop in run it up then bounce every now and then for a couple days. Then that same game can be cold as ice for a while every session for a week or two. My favorite personally are ; Monster manor (of course) , bounty hunter, goblins gold, reels and wheels xl (very hot or very cold), gods of Giza, and on a rare occasion buffalo. When I first started playing slots here I won $5000 off a $200 deposit on buffalo but rarely ever win since then and nothing even close in size. All the games I used to play I rarely do now and my top games change every few weeks.

Dont get some wrong though there’s WAY more times that I won a decent amount and should have cashed but gave it all back, but every now and then you can be right on the edge and swing back huge. All my biggest wins actually have been from sessions where I was only a few spins away from busto at one point or another

Thank you . Yeah the most I won is 500 and that was from the hot drop hourly win. Hopefully I win big I just can’t find the right game

One more very important thing I’ve noticed. Say you deposit 100 and sit at a game. You will run it down and eventually hit a bonus which will put you right back where you started. Very strange.

Very true

I know the 2 dollars remaining hits very well also. I play buffalo quite a bit and it knows how much I’ve won. The bonuses will go to shit if they think you’ve won too much. If I cash out and redeposit it seems to reset for me. If I don’t do that it will run me dry without a single bonus round.

I had $20 on my account and played 8 lucky charms for .50 spins. Somehow i managed a 5,000 win from that game in bonus round. I decided to go over to OG reels and wheels, bet $100 and hit the bonus wheel on my first spin.
The wheel landed on 500.

100 × 500 equals…?

$50,000

Yup.
I was so shocked i didnt think to take screenshots.

Thank you, glad to be here. Ive been coming to ignition and sister sites since March of 2022.

Actually, I get through my playthroughs relatively quickly when playing the lucky wheel. That’s a money maker hand over fist.

Lucky wheel?? Haha you are definitely an ignition employee

Ignition employee?
Nope.
I’m a self employed artist, single mother of 3 and live in a single wide trailer that has 7 leaks in the roof.

I began playing online in March of this year. Never gambled online before ever. My first week I played the lucky wheel exclusively as I was paranoid that slots would be a rip off.
I figured out that if seven numbers were bet on, I almost never lost. The tricky part was deciding how much to bet on four of them and what larger amount to bet on the other three. That’s my strategy…, and I ended up with 14k as my highest balance that particular day. Got a little arrogant and started betting maximum bets and not thinking about what I was doing… And ended up only cashing out 7.5k. This was my first week of gambling. Also, this was on Cafe.

Lucky wheel pays 9 times your bet and has a 4x multiplier that’s random but possible on every spin. The maximum you can bet on one spin is $500. If you win and you bet $500 on one number its a pay out of $9500.00. Not bad if you ask me…

Now, have you played lucky wheel much!?

Also, my other strategy when it comes to cashing out is that if I win $500 or more, I cash out %75 of it. That way I’m not constantly throwing all my winnings into the hole and still have some to throw into a hole… This is true for any amount I win… Even 50k.

You should use that 50k to fix your roof
