Today, 10th June 2023, I got the best ever win from Heaveny Ruler! It gave 34 Retriggers, for a total of 590 free spins, finally giving a handsome 1481x win from my 30 cents minimum bet. The payout would have been much bigger had there been not so many dead spins from those 590 free spins, but that's how this medium variance game usually plays and pays, so I'm not complaining! 
 

Usually I'll switch to low to medium volatility anything that is being promoted and is running hot and use the lowest bet try it for bursts of 20-30 pushes if I don't see anything cycle the top hot games if the roll increases start focusing immortal romance lowest bet or maybe dead or alive ....even money train 3 is worth a go I've hit a few 4k multipliers on that one with low bets . 

We're on the same wavelength my dear!
Whenever I play my few favourite PnGo games, it will always be on 2 or 3 lines per spin. If the going seems to be good, I would increase my bets from the minimum $0.01, up to $0.10 per line, sometimes higher, but still sticking with the same number of play lines.
With Legacy Of Dead or Book Of Dead, it's always 3 lines.

Low on balance?
Always playing Playngo slots, specially BOD as I can set up with how many lines I play with, usually playing with 3-4 lines and pray for the free spins feature to drop and the usually do 😉

Every time I am on low budget I play the Hot Spin games. ( Hot Spin Deluxe, Hot Spin, Hot Spin Megaways)
It seems to be a good strategy :))
 

My strategy with a low balance is probably a bit different than most people.. I play slots that bonus often to try to spin it up a bit so I can go back and play high volatile slots for the big win potential:
Real rush: 1 in 80 spins to hit free spins
Ivanhoe: 1 in 80 spins to hit free spins
Wild booster: 1 in 87 spins to hit free spins
Street racer: 1 in 100 spins to hit free spins
Big bass bonanza:  1 in 113 spins to hit free spins
Eye of the storm: 1 in 120 spins to hit free spins

My low balance go-to games that weren't mentioned here yet are pink elephants, madame destiny,  royal masquerade or other play n go games.

I'll play Starburst, Pimped, Book of Dead, Dead or Alive and my 9 MG liners.

I like Fruit Warp, haven't played it in ages. As for Tome of Madness, yes I agree, but overall the game feels quite tight.

Fruit warp and tome of madness are also decent games on low bet. Multiple bonuses that pay even 50x are good enough to build your balance.

Usually I play Book of Dead, sometimes I would decrease the amount of lines, but that strategy has never really worked for me, same for Pimped slot.

Age of the Gods Prince of Olympus, play with less lines, higher stake per line until the balance gets adjusted. Sometimes it will surprise with a feature and with the hydra bonus you get 110x if you get the Hercules rage and pick the x5...

I would do something similar too, that is, play on games that allow just 9 or 10 cents per spin.
As I'm almost entirely playing on Playtech games, like it or not, I still have to play with 10 - 15 cents bets, by reducing the number of lines as required. Generally, 9 and 10 liner games by Playtech give low payouts most of the times, very difficult to even get a 50x win, so I stick to my usual favourite games all the time.

Whenever my balance would be low, I would usually play Starburst or Book of Dead games, but lately I'm not having much luck with either. Whenever you have a low balance or you play with low stakes, what are your go-to games?

Hey guys, long time no see! I was wondering if any of our beloved members here at Askgamblers, knows the answer to my question. I was wondering why don't MGA licensed casinos allow players to use VPN. I know that it's about casinos having to in order to know if you're playing from an allowed region etc. But does it have anything more? I mean is there any directive or rule for these casinos that have to follow? And what happens if such a casino allows players to use it despite the fact that the terms state that it's forbidden?
Happy to read your answers!  
 
 

For me, it's very simple bro. Using a VPN to play at casinos is akin to falsifying your info to the casino!
If a casino is restricted for your country, so be it. If a game is restricted for your country, so be it. Trying to get around it is definitely not abiding to the casino's T&Cs and the Licensing Authority Regulations...meaning, you're trying to evade the rules for your own advantage.
Some casinos do allow the use of VPN, but only because they are offshore casinos and don't give 2 hoots about regulations. Just my opinion of course.

had a good session at Winz.IO  have to admit their the smoothest play I've come across yet : 
Fire in the Hole ! 
P.S 
Please fix card payments to NZ other than that your 9.5/10 . 

Yeah - never believe those streamers.
Got an interesting observation though (found by accident).  Two of the casinos I use are by  the same operator (L&L) and have the same games.
I played a game on one and it wasn't going well.  I had left the bet per spin on £7.50.
Went to the other casino (same operator) and into the game and the starting spin was £7.50.
So that showed me that the same operator runs the same 'game' across their different platforms.   And yes, it was still ***** playing it on the other casino.
Then I went to a different casino (another operator) and played the same game and it played differently.
 

It's a known fact that nowadays, all slots are in their hungry mode...they pay less, they eat more, they don't play as good as before either!
More and more players are now losing interest, whilst the fools with their money keep on playing with their huge bets,hoping to get those huge wins, but getting more losses instead.
Don't believe those winning videos posted by streamers...they are there to pull in the fools with their money! 

dream would be that secrets get revealed and as a result all those that had losses on slots will get refunds  and those that had wins get to keep them

Thanks everyone - I experimented further (chose casinos from ThePogg) and had two windows side by side in the same game (but on different casinos that had 10/10 ratings - both owned by the same group though).  
On one window the slot was totally dead (but had won in days before).  On the other it was paying out well.
In theory, if the game was loaded up from the game providers server to two casinos within the same group, you'd think it'd be more consistent.   
I guess the only people that really know the secrets of how it all works are either very well paid or bumped off if they leave lol.
 

Hello and welcome back to the forum. It's not a daft question at all. I think you've already been given some good answers. Which can was you thinking of playing at and we can let you know if it is legit.

maths and luck

Yeah, we're told that, for example, number of players etc don't affect a games style/play - odd then that a lot of older games seem to be dead more than they used to. But that could be memory/confirmation bias
It is pseudo/controlled-randomness - like Afi says, how it actually goes is a mystery to most - we can hear the lines trotted out: doesn't matter if someone wins big on one spin and how it doesn't alter the chances of someone else hitting on the next RNG out of the hat but, you know, who knows!
Folk have often wondered: the RTP's must be monitored and corrective actions taken if too much standard deviation from the 96 etc but i believe the answer from people in the industry is no....but hmmm... 😛
Oft wonder why some games run on different platforms - eg Bonanza has about 3 - is it geo reasons? EG MG don't operate in some countries, NYX do, so it's a way of getting round that. 
It's something i think that A. you accept you will probably never really know how it's worked out but just choose to play or B. Think, oft, that is fishy and don't. 
Compensated games, online, which is what you kinda talk about are, seemly, prohibited online (as opposed to some physical AWP's that you'd see at a seaside town/pub, i believe - where, due to bugs many moons ago, you could literally force, in some circumstances, the machine to payout)

@andy67  Hi there and welcome to the forum.
No one could possibly give you any correct answers to your questions because casino operations are trade secrets.
When you choose a game to play (at any casino), the game would be loaded up from the game provider's server and onto the casino's gaming platform. This gaming platform may vary casino to casino and this is believed to be the cause for slight variations in the gameplay of that chosen game.
For example, if you play Slot A at one casino using Platform X, and at the same time, you play that same Slot A at another casino using Platform Y, and another casino using Platform Z, all three platforms will not give the same gameplay...one might play better, one might play okay, one might play horribly!
So, stick to a casino that tend to give you better gameplay all the time and avoid those that don't. No need to crack your brains in trying to understand the workings of the slot games!
