Me too. I really don't think that any secret roads to riches exist, and I simply don't trust anyone who tells me that they know how to make tons of money, and they'll let me in on it for $50.

But, there are some things that you can do increase your chances of doing well at the online casinos. So, here are a few slot tips that you can use to make the most out of your time playing slots online.

Slot Tip #1 - Use the Casino Bonuses available

That's a pretty simple tip. If a casino is willing to give you bonus money, take it.

Some of the bonuses are completely free (No Deposit Required), while others are simply generous. Imagine, you wlk into a casino with $50 that you plan to use playing slots. and they hand you an extra $50, or an extra $100, or maybe even an extra $200.

Odd as that seems, it happens all the time at online casinos. And while I still tend to play at a casino because I like the games, I can tell you that if two casinos have the same games, I'm drawn towards the one with the better bonus.

I'm sure that I've hit winners during sessions that were only because I had bonus money to continue playing with. Without the bonus, I would have burned through my gambling money for the night and have had to quit before I landed the winner.

Slot Tip #2 - Play Loose Slots

I already did a video, and wrote a page about finding out how loose the slots are at some of the online casinos.

Plainly put, loose slots are more fun and more likely to spit winners than tight machines. Look for casinos where the slots are paying at 95% or better.

Slot Tip #3 - Play Max Coins

Some slots have a payout advantage on some winning combinations when the player is wagering max coins on the spin. Sometimes the payout for the top winning combination pays extra credits if someone is playing max coins.

Usually the need to play max coins on each spin is most evident on a Progressive Jackpot machine. It is rare that a progressive jackpot machine will award the big jackpot to a player who was not playing max coins when they landed that big winning combination.

Check the machine when you're playing, and if there's an advantage to playing max coins, by all means Play Max Coins. If you need to drop down in coin sizes to be able to afford to play max coins, that's ok.

Slot Tip #4 - Stay In Control

Playing slot machines can be pretty exciting. That's probably one of the big reasons we do it because there are plenty of times when I'll land a big winner but just play back down to where I started. I like the excitement.

But - we can't ever let the excitement get the best of us and lead us to spending more playing slots than we can afford to lose. It's entertainment after all, and I spend grocery money on groceries, and entertianment money on entertainment.

So, the final slot tip for now is to - Stay In Control when playing the online slot machines.
