Betting pennies for other than 3-reel slots

November 19th, 2009

The most common games to play for pennies are classic 3-reel slots. These have very simple betting schemes such as one betting line and only a variation between 1 to 3 coin bets per spin. So if you select the Max Bet option the most you could bet is 3 pennies.

The same is not true with other more advanced slots such as bonus slots, video slots or I-slots. These have 5 reels normally, up to 15 coin bets, and many pay-lines which increases the complexity of the betting scheme. Even on a penny denomination, a Max Bet can incur in a total of $0.25 bet.

The player must understand that when betting on a penny denomination 5-reel slot it is hard to keep the bets at penny-level. It is possible at the expense of losing some of the odds the game provides. Here’s how you would want to be to keep the odds of the slot machine at its highest.

First select the denomination of the machine (penny) and reduce all coin bets to a minimum (1). Find out how many betting lines the game provides. Can be anywhere from 3 to possibly 25. To ensure that you can complete winnings lines often, it is a mistake to try and bet only in the middle bet line. These 5-reel slots are not like traditional slots. You can win only by having many combinations of betting lines crossing through the reels. That’s why betting only 1 betting line, 1 coin on penny denomination is a bad idea. Yes, you are betting only one penny but your chances of actually hitting something are slim. The idea is to at least get half the bet lines on these machines. In such cases you are likely to get some jackpots at the expense that you’ll probably be petting 5 to 10 pennies per spin.

The more advanced 5-reel slots are not designed to be played just for pennies but you certainly can do it. Just have to be smart on how to bet when you play on penny denomination.

Where to play free penny slot machines

October 8th, 2009

Penny slot machines are favorites for many. Even when you play them for free, that is, with fake fun money, they are a lot of fun. Some online casinos now offer their penny slot at no risk for the player. Players don’t have to deposit to play them. All that is needed is to register for free at the casino (basic information like name and email) and then you can start playing. There is no big difference between games that you’ve downloaded and those that you play directly on the web. The quality is pretty much the same granted that you have a good internet connection. You may find out if you have a good connection for playing web-based slots by clicking on the banner we have at the top of our blog that says “load game”. If you can play these games without any technical difficulties it is a good sign that you have a good enough internet speed for playing online.

While these games do require registration, there are other that don’t even require players to register. However, the quality of these 100% free games is much inferior that the ones developed by professional online casinos. We strongly suggest players look for penny slots that are developed by reputable casinos.

Playing penny slots for free is always a good thing before planning to deposit. Test the games, pick the ones that you like the most so you can get the maximum amount of entertainment while you play. Try them out to see how loose there are because while playing penny slots is fun in itself, there’s nothing like hitting a real big jackpot while at it.

Good luck on your search for the best penny slot machines online!
