Improving My Chances of Winning at Online and Mobile Slots

Understand RTP (Return to Player)

Every slot has an RTP percentage, the long-term theoretical payout to players. For example, a slot with 96% RTP will, on average, return £96 for every £100 wagered, though not in a single session.

·     High RTP slots (97%+): NetEnt’s Blood Suckers (98%), Mega Joker (99% with skill play).

·     Standard RTP slots (95–96.5%): Most modern titles, such as Starburst, Book of Dead, or Bonanza.

·     Lower RTP slots (below 94%): Often found in branded or progressive jackpot games, where the trade-off is a shot at a massive payout.

Pro tip: Seek out higher RTP slots for better long-term value.

Know Slot Volatility

Volatility (or variance) refers to how a slot pays out:

 ·     Low volatility: Frequent but smaller wins. (Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest).

·     Medium volatility: A balance of risk and reward. (Book of Dead).

·     High volatility: Rare wins, but often much bigger. (Dead or Alive II, White Rabbit).

Tip: Match volatility to your budget and playing style. If you’ve got a smaller bankroll, low/medium volatility keeps you spinning longer.

Manage Your Bankroll Wisely

Perhaps the single biggest way to “improve” your slot success is through money management:

·     Set a budget before playing. Stick to it.

·     Use smaller stakes on high volatility games. This gives your bankroll room to ride out losing streaks.

·     Don’t chase losses. Every spin is random, so doubling down after a losing run doesn’t “correct” the odds.

Take Advantage of Casino Bonuses

Online casinos love to offer welcome bonuses, free spins,and reload offers. These can seriously extend your play time:

·     Free spins: Great for trying out new slots without risking your cash.

·     Deposit match bonuses: 100% or 200% matched deposits give you more spins for your money.

·     Loyalty/VIP rewards: Cashback or free play can offset losses.

Pro tip: Always check wagering requirements before accepting a bonus.
