Jamie’s Top 5 Tips For Choosing a Slot

This is Jamie, your conductor speaking. This is your last call for Big Winsville, stopping at Gary Station, Tilt City and Wood Lane, which is a 5-minute walk from the mighty Loftus Road Stadium. Mind the gap at platform number B, thank you.

Over the years, I’ve honed a strategy that has proven quite effective when choosing a slot, and with a VITAL warm-up routine to go with it. Slot stretching and dots were never optional, but a vital routine designed to prevent injury when the slots throw everything at you.

It’s time that I pass my tips onto you, our loyal viewers and readers. These are the tips and strategies that I carry with me into our slot battles, and ones that you may find useful if you’re stuck on how to choose a slot.

Go Volly

If you’ve watched any of my Slot Battles or Bonus Buy Wednesday content, then you know that I love to go volly. Nothing beats the thrill of a highly volatile slot, and it’s a tip that I think can work out if you’re in it for the big wins.

That said, this approach isn’t without risk. It’s slots, after all, and every strategy can swing both ways.

High Volatile

Potentially Bigger Wins
Exciting Gameplay

Greater Risk
Less Frequent Wins

Low Volatile

More consistent returns
Longer sessions

Smaller Wins
Less Exciting

Pro Raise

Our sister site, Hideous Slots, recently published an interesting article about slot myths busted. In it, they spoke about the biggest slot myths, like slots running hot and cold, whether there are better times to play than others and other myths/superstitions that make fiction fact in our own heads.

I’ve worked in the industry for years, and nobody can convince me that the pro raise doesn’t work. Whether it’s a raising of the stakes on a cold streak or immediately after a win for another streak, the Pro Raise has come in clutch many times and will again.

But be careful, we’re not telling you to play irresponsibly and to blow the balance with high-stakes spins, but it’s worth a punt on a dead streak. Watch Scotty hit the bonus on a pro raise on Secrets of the Stones.

Check the Big Wins Section

Even I, a professional blagger and a slot battle contestant of questionable integrity, need inspiration from elsewhere from time to time. Whether it’s perusing the videos of our slot YouTube channel to reflect and draw inspiration from previous big wins, or checking out the Big Wins Channel of our community discord.

Sometimes, the best idea for where to go next comes from somewhere else, not the recommended section of the casino lobby, not the new games section, but from trusty favourites and proven performers.

Sing Along

Take this literally as I did, or figuratively…either way, just enjoy yourself.

We’re advocates for responsible gambling, and believe that if you’re not having fun, then you shouldn’t be playing. Don’t take it too seriously, and stop when the fun stops. Sometimes the best top[s for winning at slots is to just not play if things get too heated.

Take this advice above all others, and come back when you’re cooled off.

Choose Slots with Bonus Features

We recently did an article where one Fruity Team Member chose a winning slot tip. My pick was slots with bonus features.

It feels like an obvious statement, but you might be better off with a slot that has a lot of bonus features, like The Goonies, or Genie Jackpot Megaways. These games feel alive and dynamic, and could top up those wins even without triggering a bonus round.

Check out our latest reviews, all of which have exciting bonus features!
