In the 1960s, almost six decades, the small innovations led to an electromechanical slot machine that did not any human intervention. A player would put in a nickel, pull the lever and if he’s lucky, money would roll out clinking. Video screens were added, the backend processors became faster and soon a self-reliant machine came about.
Similarly, online casinos too developed a system. In this system, however, nothing fits into a pattern. Everything was randomly decided and there is no log maintained to back-track a player’s performance.

One could win big multiples in a row or lose sorely throughout the day; there’s no telling to how it works. The reason is pretty simple. All the online casinos use a set of algorithms that employ the Random Number Generator (RNG) concept. The only thing that matters here is the second at which the mouse click is encountered and the RNG then determines what symbols appear on the screen.
There are a number of things one could do to win money online. Let’s first take a look at some of the things we could do online:
1.
No deposit bonuses: These are practically free money. Many sites offer an entry bonus to lure a new user and this is in the form of money. This helps a player to play online slots for free and also understand how the game works.
2.
The Loose Slot: The term loose slot came about when mechanical slot machines back in the day had some mechanical fault that would make the slots a bit ‘loose’. These were exploited to dispense more money. In today’s world of online gambling, there’s still some truth to this concept. A lot of online slots pay out quite frequently. Keeping a close eye on the one that does so helps in increasing the chances of winning.
3.
Local and Network Jackpots: A local jackpot is created by a specific casino and the money is generated by only those players that are participating in the slot game. In other words, it’s a local game and no one outside is involved. A network jackpot pools money from multiple online casinos and therefore offers a mega jackpot. It is important to remember that not all online slots are created equally and therefore, it would be recommended to go for a local jackpot.
Manipulating a Slot Machine:
Let’s get to the thick of it. If a slot machine is properly designed with true Random Number Generators, they are theoretically unbeatable. Like mentioned above, there is no pattern to the system and it is impossible to guess which number might work the charm.
There have been cases in the past though, where people have managed to bypass into the system and “tweak” it in their favours. Some of these cases are of pure theft; a slot machine’s hardware is messed with or the casino insider lends a hand to manipulate and get away. In other cases, luck comes in handy. Someone finds a glitch in the system and takes away more than they deserve.
Well, beating a slot machine is very, very tricky. There is a lot of patience that goes in and it will be truly tested. Here is a way that could be effective in overcoming the obstacle:
1.
Always claim the bonuses that casinos give. These are not the free spins but the bonus money a casino gives you upon entering. It allows you to try the strategy with real money and yet save it if you lose.
2.
Hitting a losing spree is good in a scenario like this. When this occurs, increase the bet but remember to not go over-board. Do not try to increase it by 10 times; take small steps and double it.
3.
Every casino works on a factor called Return to Player or RTP. It is the amount of money a casino is supposed to return to the players. By players, we do not mean individuals but the public in general. The RTP number determines how much profit a casino is going to make. This is indeed the driving figure for every casino and no casino would wish to function without it.
4. While choosing a game, always go for one with high RTP. Most game producers do not provide the RTP publicly and it can be a bit of a struggle in getting these numbers out. A little research will, however, be very helpful. To summarize, beating an online casino game is of sheer effort. There are so many things that go into devising a game and thereby, many precautions are taken. It takes a lot of time in research to be effective.
