Wins and special features are triggered at random, which means that you can’t control when you’ll hit them. However, there are steps you can take to increase your chances of hitting them – like choosing games that offer bonus rounds, scatters, multipliers and wild symbols.
If you’re playing a fixed-line slot, make sure to check whether the paylines can be changed before starting to play. You can also look for the game’s RTP (return-to-player percentage) which provides an indication of how much you’ll likely get back over time.
As with any gambling game, bankroll management is a non-negotiable when it comes to slots. Decide what your maximum loss and win amount will be before you start, and stick to it. This will prevent you from chasing losses or trying to chase big wins, which will only lead to disappointment and stress.
