3 Things to Remember When Choosing Your Preferred Slot to Play

How do you unearth a great slot game to play? How do you find a favorite you will enjoy every time you play it?

There are plenty of ways you can do this, but we think there are three areas you should always focus on when you're exploring the options. Let's look at those now so you can see how they work.

How many spins can you get for your budget?

This is important to note. The higher the coin values are, the fewer spins you'll get for your time. If you have five dollars to play with, you'll soon run out of cash if you choose a slot that demands a dollar payment for each spin.

Change up to a penny slot, however, and you'll get far more spins - and fun - for your money.

Does it have the mix of features you want to see?

Everyone has a different idea of what makes a good slot game. For example, there are free spins, wilds, scatter icons, bonus features, pick-me features… and lots more besides.

Decide which features you like most and want to get in your game, and then look for a slot that fits those needs. Of course, it's always good to try something different occasionally, but most of us have a pattern we like to stick to. Does that mean three-reel basic slots for you, or the most complex five-reel slots you can find? Only you know the answer.

Can you play a demo version first?

If you spot a game you have never played before, you can often try it in demo mode to see whether you like it. This is better than putting real money on a game you may not like.

A demo game also means you can figure out the ins and outs of the game. Reading the paytable is fine, but it doesn't always tell you everything. Even when it does, it may not describe everything in a way that is easy to understand. We've all read a paytable and ended up frowning and trying to figure things out, haven't we?

So, consider the above points and then see whether you can work out which game will tick the boxes that matter most to you. It means you'll spend less time on games that don't appeal, and more time playing the ones you love.
