When it comes to the world of casinos and gaming, penny slots are one of the most popular games. For a small investment, you still have the chance to win big! Whether you’re new to casinos and gameplay or a regular, penny slots are fun and exciting for everyone.
At Valley View Casino & Hotel, we have a variety of penny slot games to choose from on the casino floor, amidst over 2,000 total slot machines. Whenever you want to play, just stop in! So you can make the most of your playing time, here is a quick guide with tips on how to play penny slots and how to maximize your casino fun!
What Are Penny Slots?
The name says it all—penny slots are slot machines where each spin costs just one cent. In their simplest form, you put a penny in, hit the button or pull a lever and spin to win! The best part is that if you end up with the right combination, you can win much more than that one cent.
The one-penny-one-spin formula isn’t the only way to play, however. The game has advanced, and players have a number of options. Currently, most slot machines have more than one payline, and you can pay to play the ones you want.
A single penny slot machine could have dozens of paylines. These paylines are important because they are what determine the types of prizes, bonuses and other features that are triggered with each spin. Typically, the more paylines you play, the more money you can win. While some penny slots require players to bet on all paylines with every spin, others don’t. It’s up to you how you want to play!
Choosing the Right Machine
Choosing the right slot machine is entirely up to you, your style and your preferences, and the right slot machine will most certainly maximize your fun. One of the most popular things slot machine players pay attention to is the RTP (return to player) of the machine. This number shows you how often the game makes payouts to players. The higher the number, the more payouts the game has made. Other features you should look at are progressive jackpots, bonus rounds and free spins.
Progressive jackpots are jackpots that continue to grow larger and larger until the jackpot is won. They might be tied to other machines in the casino or even other casinos so that the jackpot accumulates according to multiple machines. When you max out your wager, you become eligible to win the maximum jackpot amount.
Another way to choose the right machine is to find one that just feels right. Take some time to look at all the penny slots available on the casino floor. This is one of those times when you can judge a book by its cover and play whichever penny slot machine feels lucky or stands out to you the most.
You can even pick your machine based on the graphics or the theme you like best. Some of the most popular themed penny slots include Book of Dead, Dead or Alive 2, Drive: Multiplier Mayhem, Blood Suckers, Gold Train and The Catfather.
However you choose your machine, you don’t need to stay at the same one the whole time. Enhance your experience by playing different penny slot machines. This will not only maximize your fun but also give you access to more bonus features, like free spins, bonus runs, multipliers and more.
Manage Your Bankroll
When you go to the casino, you should pay attention to the bankroll, even if you are only planning on playing penny slots. Your bankroll is the amount of money you are playing with and comfortable potentially losing. When playing penny slots, you will probably still want to follow a bankroll management strategy. It’s easy to do: just set a budget before you play and stick to it while playing.
Try to only wager what you can afford and not to overdo it with any autoplay options. It might help to track your winnings and losses too. Choose slots that have maximum bets that are within your budget. If you are at the casino with a friend, you can implement a buddy system and help each other manage your individual bankrolls. Plus, hitting the casino is more fun with a friend!
