Are you going $0.10 careful, or $1+ full send?




New info has been added to this post ( see below )  after a meeting with my contact at SoftSwiss, who shared some interesting statistics about player behavior around the world.

I go for $0.5 on roulettes but I may later double it up to $1 or double it again up to $2 but not more than $2.5. This is common if I am losing already.

But there are some weeks that I gamble all the money all at once on roulettes. Not all the time that I have time to gamble but I like it also when I use 1 to 2% of my weekly income to gamble.

Not all slot allow you to play with $0.1, some minimum to play is $0.2. What I play with depends on hou much money I have that period but generally, I like playing with $0.5 and below unless in sometimes that I have plenty money, then I can raise it to $1 per spin. As the aim is to stay as long as it's necessary to be able to win, bet amount will also be adjusted accordingly.

For normal spin, I will use $0.1 to $1. But most of the time I will use the bonus packs which is like $25 with the base bet amount is like $0.1 for 6 free spins, if my memory serves right. Most of the slot player use the bet that is less than a dollar in USD which will help them to play the longer sessions.

Are you going $0.10 careful, or $1+ full send?

Yep, $0.10 if allowed, but some casinos have a minimum bet of $0.20, so I'm forced to double my average bet. 
I've never gone above that threshold ($0.1 to $0.2) 'cause I feel like I'm taking unnecessary risk if I bet say $1, but that's just me and how I manage my bankroll.

[BitMaxz]

I don't bet more than $0.5; usually I bet $0.2 for normal bets and $0.5 as my maximum bet. I have my limit, and I want my funds to last longer because I am targeting to hit a high multiplier. The sound is addictive, and if I'm lucky, I'll hit a higher multiplier and wager more than the amount I deposit. I withdraw some.

I'm sure someone here also wants to hear about that unlimited multiplier?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Are you going $0.10 careful, or $1+ full send?

$0.20. Normally, if there is the option to bet $0.10, I still stick with $0.20. And no bigger bets either. I don't usually deposit more than $100, and I like my money to last. If I deposit $50 and play $1 spins, I can run out in less than 10 minutes if I have a bad streak. Playing $0.20 spins lasts me 5 times longer on average, although the prize is also smaller, but I see it as entertainment more than anything else.

[YOSHIE]

Are you going $0.10 careful, or $1+ full send?

From my experience with slot games, usually I rarely use bets of $0.10 or $1. I rarely play with automatic or manual features.
What I often use in slot gambling is just one buy bonus, the way to buy a bonus for me is the best feature I have ever used, as the spin goes on, buying a bonus we can also get a spin bonus, this provides a good opportunity for me.

The point of the slot game that I often use is to buy bonuses, various funds.

[Beparanf]

0.2$ is my average bet since I do change my bet depending on my win/lose history.

I usually start with 0.1$ or lower available minimum bet then adjust my bet to 0.2$ and max at 0.4$-0.5$ whenever I’m in deep losing streak. This way I can recover my previous loss in case I hit a huge multiplier.

I believe our bet size should always based on our bankroll. I have average bankroll size and my bet size is always equal to 1:500 to my bank roll.

I usually play slots with low stakes at first, but over time I will increase my bets (the amount) if the game seems boring, or no longer provides additional entertainment (wins), and at that time I have the mindset of being in a situation where I am either winning big, or losing quickly. However, my most frequent bets on slots are under $1, because I usually I don't provide much money on slots. My reasoning is that only bets under $1 can be used for that entertainment, meaning they won't be used up so quickly. Maybe, you also need to be aware of your ability to place bets on each spin, so you don't get emotional easily If your bankroll is quickly depleted, it should be better to start with small bets. IMO.

In slots, I never make high bets. I see slot machines as a source of fun, so I always stay in the range of 0.10 to 0.30 per spin. Depending on my luck and the size of my bankroll, I might even risk a few very sporadic spins that can reach 1.00.
My rule is very simple: each spin cannot exceed 5% of my bankroll that I set aside for the session... in a highly volatile game, my intention is not to make a profit, but rather to have as much fun as possible.

My focus is on sports betting, where I might risk more depending on my knowledge, but when I go to slots, I try to stay "alive" as long as possible.

I played Pragmatic with $1 & over, but when it comes to Hacksaw, I don't even like normal spins... I will either buy a bonus (mostly a super bonus), or I will not play it at all! NoLimit has action spins, and that's interesting, but most of the time, I would rather buy a bonus than chase it.

So my first pick would be a super bonus... Super bonuses are the most interesting, but they can be sooo tricky. I guess they can eat any balance in a very short period of time...

[Maus0728]

I am not gambling much but my friend who I meet once or twice bi-weekly can easily spend up to $100 in just a few spins and I have to say, I do not think that I would be able to do that even if I have all the money that I need. I can understand his perspective that when he gets the win, it is more than what he deposited but that recklessness has cost him probably thousands of dollars already, most of the friend group had a talk with him already but it seems that he is still in denial phase that he is in control. It is really cool though whenever he wins, he will buy us pizza if not pay for our food when our friend group goes out but the concern is still there, he is making enough money to pay the bills and take his girl out for a nice dinner so not really a big deal but to me, money wasted on gambling is still money wasted.

I understand this since Hacksaw and NLC is high volatility slot games which means most of your spin will be dead spin so using high value $ per spin will just resulted to waste. Even the bonus buy in them is so frustrating sometimes since you can win peanuts or zero despite spending huge money on the bonus buy.

So my first pick would be a super bonus... Super bonuses are the most interesting, but they can be sooo tricky. I guess they can eat any balance in a very short period of time...

Super bonus buy is very expensive and it’s hard to win more than what you spend on most cases but it’s enjoyable to play on this bonus because of the advantage it gives like the higher multiplier drops frequently.

I'm not consistent on using a special amount, few factors can make me decide what the wagering amount should be, the factors could be my available bankroll and that's because bankroll management is really important to acknowledge and when I'm on a small bankroll, not full bankroll, in order to extend the rounds to be played by me, I will preferably use the $0.1, the time I will want to double to $1 is if I'm on full bankroll. That's the very important factor that would make most gamblers reduce their wagering to a very small amount but when you have a massive bankroll, you know you will wager higher and target massive win.

I don't bet above $0.5 on slot. It's my highest limit because I'm gambling for fun and want to enjoy the fun to the fullest. If I increase my bet above $0.5, my session will expire faster because I have a fixed gambling budget for the day.

Slot is a pure luck based game, compared to sportbet which makes it more risky for to bet with more than that amount.

[joeperry]

$0.1 and my maximum is $0.2 I really don't play too much slot but I play it whenever I have spare money maybe around $20-30 and usually when it's a good time, I won around $50-$60 and move to sports betting. Based on the previous comments here most of us here doesn't reach $1 I think those people play more than $1k balance on their bankroll. Is there anyone here that goes beyond $1? I haven't been into physical casino before and I was wondering what is the minimum bets there per roll?

Yep, $0.10 if allowed, but some casinos have a minimum bet of $0.20, so I'm forced to double my average bet. 
I've never gone above that threshold ($0.1 to $0.2) 'cause I feel like I'm taking unnecessary risk if I bet say $1, but that's just me and how I manage my bankroll.

It is now possible to bet on slot even lower than $0.1 as long as the casino provide the option to change the in game currencies.
For example, Pragmatic Play usually has min bet $0.2 in most of their games but with the feature of changing in game currency, I can bet as low as $0.015 per spin.
Coming up to the main question, my average bet while playing slot is $0.2 but I can bet bigger when there is a good reason such as competition or tournament where I see a good chance to win.

@Panjul07 is correct on the above post. You can bypass this minimum bet by changing the currency you are using on the slot games.

I frequently do this when I want to avail super bonus buy of slot games that usually expensive using $ currency.

Sharing here @Bitcoinhunt3r post for the exact method that you can use.

I'm not sure if you know a more practical and cheaper way to buy spins this method is effective for Pragmatic provider, while in the game just change your currency to VND (Vietnam Dong) well for super buy spin you only spend 50k VND or $1.9 and if you want to play on Hacksaw provider change your currency to ARS (Argentina) I use this method to try all new games especially for low Bankroll. As you said, this game has high volatility so the risk of losing is also higher.

[Agbamoni]

Slot games are preferable to bet with $0.2, I wont go more than that.

However, if I luckily get to grow my bankroll to at least twice the amount I deposited, I sometimes increase the bet to $0.5 and sometimes $1. But it doesnt go above that.
