Size of Wager Selection (Part III)
Consequently, it is essential that whenever you play any of these multi spin slots, you play at the very least the minimum 1 coin per payline to activate all the paylines. However, your decisions do not end there. In addition, you should determine whether you should play the maximum coins or not. This will depend on all the other information about the machine and the game. All of this information becomes necessary when you make a decision that will cost you money. Some of these machines should never be played for less than the maximum coins allowed. This is because on these machines, you “buy-a-pay,” and therefore if you play any less than the maximum bet, you will not get the best bonuses offering a Progressive Jackpot, the best pays, the jackpots, and will not get the best payback percentage of which such a machine is capable by its play program. On other machines, which may look similar, or actually look the same, the best way to play them may be by the mere 1 coin per payline, because these machines do not offer the “extras” for maximum coin play. You have to find this out for yourself, and then judge your wager selections accordingly.
As a simple rule to follow, always play maximum coins. If you can’t afford to play maximum coins, don’t play until you can afford to do so. Otherwise, you are throwing your money away, because you will never force the casino to pay you the amounts to which you are entitled by the machine’s pay program. In all honesty, this should be automatic, and your decision already made up. However, there are times when skilled decisions can make a difference - decisions that require extensive knowledge of the game. In the end, that will be your decision, based on the abilities and skills you acquire through the information in this book, and your own abilities and playing successes.
