prabhuWhen people like me sign up to a fully licensed and regulated website with thousands of computer-generated and live dealer content, one of the first areas of the website we head to is the online fruit machine section.
Although most people who register real money accounts on sites like this also enjoy playing the traditional favourites like blackjack, poker, roulette, craps, and baccarat, they always seem to head back to the fruity section because there’s so much more choice.
I’ve enjoyed playing them for over ten years, so I know exactly what I’m looking for, what makes a good online fruit machine stand out from the crowd, how to play them, and what to expect when I try new ones out.
Today, there are thousands to choose from, which can seem overwhelming for some people, especially those who have never played them before.
Therefore, I’ve decided to reveal five useful and effective strategies aimed at beginners who are looking to try them for the first time, which I think will help bring you up to speed in no time.
Five useful online fruit machine strategies for beginners
Since I first started playing online fruit machines more than a decade ago, I have found several reliable strategies that work for me. I also feel they will help anyone looking to play them, especially newbies/beginners.
We can start by taking a look at the five most important strategies everyone should know about, and then I will reveal a few more that some of you may also find will help in some way.
The top 5 fruit machine strategies for beginners are as follows, some of which are less obvious than others and are often overlooked:
- Safer gambling controls – start by setting yourself a reasonable budget, and then, using any available ‘safer gambling tools’ your chosen site provides
- Choose a reputable site to play online fruit machines. Make sure it is fully licensed and regulated by a globally renowned authority/commission, and only ever sign up to sites that legitimate companies own and operate
- Decide whether you want an online fruity that pays out often but smaller average wins (known as low volatility fruitys) or one that pays out bigger wins less frequently (high volatility)
- Before hitting the spin button in any fruity you choose to play, either practice playing online fruitys in the free-play mode at gambling sites listed on sites like www.askgamblers.com. The least you can do is reduce your total stake per spin to the minimum value allowed just until you get good at playing or decide you like it, at which point you might want to switch to playing in the real money mode or increase your stake if you are already playing in this mode
- Decide whether you want to play an online fruit machine with a fixed coin jackpot (capped at a certain amount) or a progressive jackpot fruit, where the top prize is not capped and will continue to grow until someone wins
These are just five basic strategies to try when you next register an account on your chosen site. If you can master any strategy mentioned above, it’s a great start and will ensure you find the world’s best online fruitys on the industry’s most trusted sites.
Which other online fruity strategies should I know about?
Some online fruit machine lovers will look at the average RTP% (Return to Player) payout rate before playing. I also used to do this, and I still think it’s a good strategy, but I don’t bother any more.
The reason why so many game participants look for high or above-average RTP% payout rates (typically around 96.00% to 97.00% or higher) is because, mathematically/theoretically speaking, they are more likely to pay compared to an online fruity with a low RTP payout rate (anything lower than 93.00%).
Everything else in between (93.00% to 96.00%) is classed as average. You might like to try this strategy, and it might work for you, so if you want to know the current RTP% payout rate for any online fruit machines you decide to try, you will need to head to its paytable when launching it.
Another strategy some people like to use when playing them is only to play progressive jackpot fruitys when the jackpot is at a high value, instead of playing them just after the jackpot has recently been won.
In other words, when someone wins a progressive jackpot, perhaps wait several months until it has climbed to a decent amount before playing.
The other thing I want to explain in greater detail is the safer gambling tools section that most sites have today.
Manually setting things like win/loss limits, session time reminders or deposit limits before playing online fruit machines has helped me tremendously and is a great way to ensure you stay in much better control of your spending and never spend more than you initially budgeted for.
Some people who sign up to these websites prefer setting a daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limit, whereas others like me find that session time reminders or win/loss limits are more effective.
