It seems like everyone wants to tell you a slot machine secret to
winning. If you've made it this far then you already know there are no
slot machine secrets. The computers random number generator determines a
win or loss.
With that in mind, there are sensible tips to playing slot machines
to reduce your chances of walking away from a casino flat broke.
Tip 1.- No matter what tip or strategy you use to play slot
machines, set a limit to how much you are going to spend before you
ever begin to play. Once you reach that limit, quit. Do not keep
feeding a machine in hopes of recouping any loss.
Tip 2.- Know the slot machine payout schedule. Two identical
slot machines can have different payouts. Play the one with the best
payout.
Tip 3.- Look for advertised slot machines offering 96-98%
paybacks. Casino's usually have a few banks or carousels of high
percentage payback slots.
Tip 4.- Play slots with your bankroll and not from the
credits meter. The reason is not that it makes a difference in
winning, but any winnings will increase your credits. This way, when
you run out of money or want to leave the casino, any credits you earn
are your winnings. If you spend all your money and use up all your
credits, you walk away with nothing.
Tip 5.- If your going to play progressive slot machines,
play the maximum bet. The odds on progressive slot machines are
higher, so when and if you do win, you want the highest payout
possible.
Tip 6.- Join the casino players club. Once you receive your
players card, always play with it in the machine. The casino rewards
players for time and money spent. Even if you don't hit the jackpot,
you may still receive free casino comps like meals, discount hotel
rooms, event tickets and more that are worth money too.
Tip 7.- Try to avoid slot machines with 4 or more reels
until you have built up a bankroll. Odds on 4 or more reel machines
are higher than the standard 3 reel slot machines.
Tip 8.- Play the slot machines you can afford and only spend
money you can risk losing. $1 slots payout more over time than 25.
But of course, there's no absolute guarantee you
will win more playing a $5 slot machine over a $1 slot machine.
Tip 9.- Divide your bankroll into the number of slot
sessions you plan on playing. If you are vacationing at a casino for 5
days and brought $500, spend $100 a day. You will enjoy your time at
the casino over the course of your vacation more compared to blowing
your wad all in one sitting and have no money left for the remainder
of your casino visit. People who do not do this are those who end up
maxing out their credit cards.
Tip 10.- Walk away when your losing and become irritated.
Playing slot machines are fun.and should be fun. When your not
having fun, it's time to go find something else to do. You can always
come back later.

Viking's Voyage is a 5 reel and 20 payline video slot with an Nordic theme. A rather wild looking Viking is the substitute symbol and his Longboat is the scatter symbol in this adventurous slot. Two or more Longboats get you 10 free games and you can win re spins during the free games. A 10 free game feature is triggered when 3 or more scattered longboats appear left to right. All prizes except scatters are doubled during the free games. During the free games the triggering reels are held while any remaining reels re-spin from 1 to 10 times. Whenever 2 or more scatters appear left to right on a free spin a free game re-spin feature is awarded. 4 to 5 scatters occurring during a re-spin awards 3 to 5 additional free games. 5 scatters triggering a re-spin holds all reels and awards 5 scatters from 1 to 10 times.
Super
Diamond Mine is a 5-reel bonus round slot machine. To view the
pay table you must click on the “Pay Table” button
located next to the red “Cash Out” button on the lower
left side of the machine. It may be played in denominations of
$.01, $.05, $.25, $.50, $1, and $5. To play, put money in the
machine by clicking on the chips in the lower right corner and
press “Bet Max.” This will play the maximum bet (9
paylines and 45 coins), giving you the maximum chance to win
and automatically spins the reels. If you’d like to play
fewer lines or fewer coins per line, just select the lines you
want by using the “Select Lines” and “Bet One”
buttons. When you have the bet you’d like, just press “Spin,”
and wait for a win. The game includes a cascading diamond accumulator
and a bonus game where the player finds bonus wins in mine entrances
scattered across a hillside. When diamonds appear on any spot
on the wheel, they cascade in the direction they are pointing.
If a diamond pointing down appears on the top line of the wheel,
the diamond will cascade down and also appears behind each of
the other symbols on that reel. Diamonds appear on the paytable
as wins and each diamond that appears on any played line is also
added to a dynamite meter. When this dynamite meter reaches 99,
the gnome miner will ignite the dynamite, the screen explodes
and the Super Diamond Mine bonus round begins. In the bonus game,
the player chooses the mine entrance that they feel will provide
the highest bonus amount and player will win an amount relative
to their total bet on spin. Once a player chooses a losing mine
entrance, the mine will cave in and the bonus amount that the
player has accumulated up to that point is added to the player’s
balance. A caustic goat will provide commentary during the bonus
round. Once the bonus game ends, the player is brought back to
the game and the dynamite meter is set to zero. All of the pays
can be won on any part of the payline as long as the player has
made a bet on that payline. To see what each combination pays,
just click on the “Pay Table” button.
You can turn
the paylines on through one of two different methods in the interface.
If you click on the Bet One button, the number of active paylines
will increase by one. If all five paylines are already turned
on, and you click on the Bet One button, then the number of active
paylines will reset to one. The Bet One button will be enabled
regardless of the balance or the credits in the machine. You
can also select paylines by clicking on the payline indicators,
which are located to the left and right of the wheelhouse. If
you click on a payline indicator, then all of the paylines up
to and including the line associated with the indicator are turned
on. All other paylines are turned off. For instance, if you click
on the third payline indicator, then the first, second and third
paylines become active, and the fourth and fifth paylines are
turned off. If you click on the first payline indicator, then
only the first payline is active. If you click on the fifth payline
indicator, then all five paylines become active. You cannot selectively
turn on individual paylines (for instance, you can not activate
the first, third, and fifth paylines, and turn off the second
and fourth paylines).
