6 Tips on Mastering Online Slots – How to Play Like a Pro

Online casinos have never been more popular. Their popularity has drastically increased since it became a buzzword in the XXth century. Nowadays, there is a variety of games that can be played in online casinos, and players worldwide can choose one of the thousands of games, ranging from poker and roulette to different slot machines. This means that casinos have something for practically everyone. However, choosing the right game or slot machine is not such an easy task. This can either make or break your game, and it’s a choice that stands between you winning and losing. But one question remains, regardless of the level of experience you have in playing online slots – how to master these games and how to play like a pro? Take a look at these six tips that will help you boost your game significantly.

Tip #1: Choose a less complicated game

Slot machines range from easy to very complicated ones. The developers have added so much content that sometimes it takes time to master a particular game. In the same manner, there are those games that are pretty simple, and contrary to popular belief, these are the games that you should always go for in case you want to learn how to win at slot machines and win significant sums of money. It’s always easier to master a not-so-complicated game as players like to have fun rather than concentrate on complex storylines. 

Tip #2: Stick with a game and practice it

Practice always makes perfect. The best way to master anything, not only slot machines, is by training and spending more time doing it. This being said, if you really want to master a game and learn how to play it like a pro, then always go for this game, at least a couple of spins. Spending time on learning to play more games means that you will be the “jack of all trades but master of none”, which is not something you want. 

Tip #3: Browse around until you find the perfect game for you

Yes, it would help if you always went with less complicated games, but it’s also essential to find a game that fits you and you enjoy playing. One of the biggest mistakes a player can make is sitting down at the first slot machine they see. You should take your time to walk around the floor and take a look at every available slot machine. Choose the one you are instantly drawn to. Choosing a slot featuring the art you like matters a lot and will motivate you more. You should also know that the design and art of a slot machine tell a lot about the game itself, which you can use before deciding on a slot. For example, slot machines with cartoonish characters have very entertaining bonuses that you might enjoy.

Tip #4: Make use of the free entry bonuses

Another tip you should have in mind is playing at online casinos that offer free entry bonuses. In case you want to try many different games to find the one you really enjoy playing, make sure to do that in casinos that allow you to try out free games. Free entry bonuses and free spins will make you practice that particular game more, and this step will help you understand what’s in store for you and what you can expect from a particular game when you start investing your money. On top of that, playing free games and using bonuses is incredibly fun and will help you catch secret quirks and tips. 

Tip #5: Use YouTube to check tutorials

YouTube is a great platform you can use to master a particular skill. Similarly, you can use this platform to master a particular game and learn how to play like a pro. It doesn’t matter what game you end up liking the most; you will find popular slot tutorials for 99% of the games that exist. Some tutorials are created by the developers, while others are filmed by avid gamers who enjoy the game as much as you do. Feel free to search these up and get a head start. 

Tip #6: Have control and patience

The most important (and for some, the most difficult) skill is learning how to use self-control and how to have patience. Yes, we all want fast results, fast money and skills to come quickly. This is why this is of the utmost importance – time makes everything perfect, and this is something every player should know how to apply when playing online slots. Apart from that, have control over your finances, which can be very tricky. Online slot games are very engaging and thus addictive, so it’s always good to set yourself a certain budget that you will stick to. Not only will this make you control your finances in a better way, but it will also teach you the patience that you need for the game. Strict players rarely lose a lot of money. It’s the overly excited and impatient ones that lose all the time and never actually get the chance to master a particular game.

Online slot machines are games of luck, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot master them and learn to play them like professionals. Follow these tips, always know what you’re playing and never play when you’re not comfortable or when you’re angry. 

Katy J Pearson Releases New Song ‘Game of Cards’

Katy J Pearson has shared a new song, ‘Game of Cards’, lifted from her upcoming album Sound of the Morning. Check it out below.

Speaking about the track, which follows lead single ‘Talk Over Town’, Pearson explained:

‘Game of Cards’ dates back two years ago, initially written with my friend Ben Hambro (who was the lead singer of Lazarus Kane). We hung out a lot together as I’d sing in his band, and he used to be part of the KJP ensemble. I forgot about the song for a while, then rediscovered it and sent to Heavenly who liked the chorus but the verse wasn’t quite working. I wanted to give it a chance so took it with me to the Dan Carey sessions where we assembled fresh verses – he really helped me work out where the song should go. ‘Game of Cards’ is about finding someone you click with on a romantic level and how it really is a game of cards in that you don’t know what hand you’ll be dealt. It’s about the vulnerability of a blossoming relationship and not knowing where it’s headed.

Sound of the Morning will be released on July 8 via Heavenly Recordings.

Body Type Share Video for New Song ‘The Charm’

Australian band Body Type have previewed their forthcoming debut album Everything Is Dangerous, But Nothing’s Surprising with a new single called ‘The Charm’. The track, which follows previous cuts ‘Sex & Rage’ and ‘Buoyancy’, comes with an accompanying video directed by Madeleine Purdy. Check it out below.

“This track is about how women are held to higher standards than men in the music biz,” the band said in a statement. “It’s harder for us to get away with being a bit shit or making mistakes. Some guy once told us the ‘charm’ was gonna wear off if we didn’t get better at our instruments, that we had to do our 10,000 hours before we were worthy of the hype. This is our response.”

Everything Is Dangerous, But Nothing’s Surprising is out May 20 via Poison City.

Stars have released ‘Capelton Hill’, the latest offering from their forthcoming LP. It follows previous singles ‘Pretenders’, ‘Snowy Owl’, ‘Build a Fire’, and ‘Patterns’. Check it out below, along with a live performance video for the track.

“This song sounds like an ending. And maybe it is,” vocalist Torquil Cambell explained in a statement. “It’s certainly a moment of looking back; at what we’ve done together, and what we’ve lost along the way. It focuses on this band’s enduring obsession: loss. The cost of loving somewhere or someone is the fact that you lose them. The last two years have taught us all a lot about loss; loss of loved ones, of time, of memories, of simple pleasures. That loss hurts. We’re all hurt, and there is no way around it, you can only go through it. Whether you’re ten or fifty, things change. But on Capelton Hill, maybe things can stay the same. For just one more year.”

Stars’ From Capleton Hill is due for release on May 27 via Last Gang Records.

Slaughter Beach, Dog Collaborate With Trace Mountains and Anika Pyle on New Song ‘Just Like Me’

Ahead of their upcoming tour, Philadelphia’s Slaughter Beach, Dog have shared a new collaborative track, ‘Just Like Me’, which features two tourmates, Trace Mountains and Anika Pyle. Check it out below.

Slaughter Beach, Dog’s Jake Ewald said of the collaboration:

Every few years I get curious about writing songs for other people. Sometime before the pandemic, in response to a writing prompt from our publisher, I wrote the first verse and chorus of “Just Like Me”. I remember piecing the words together while vacuuming corn chips out of the van after a tour, and I liked how disarming the first line felt. I forgot about the song until last year, getting ready for our first shows back. I woke up on the studio couch one morning before band practice and quickly jotted down a second verse and chorus, then filed it away again.

A few months ago, Anika Pyle called me and suggested that she, Dave Benton (of Trace Mountains) and I should work on something collaborative to coincide with our tour. We all jumped at the idea – I sent ove rmy unfinished demo of ‘Just Like Me’, Dave replied with a melody and a chord progression for a bridge, and pretty soon Anika and I were hunched over our notepads at the Metal Shop fleshing out the rest of the lyrics.

Francis of Delirium Release New Song ‘Mirrors’

Francis of Delirium have released a new song called ‘Mirrors’. It’s included in the new EP of the same name, also out today, alongside the previously shared tracks ‘Come Out and Play’, ‘All Love’, and ‘The Funhouse’. Take a listen below.

“The EP was largely a way for me to process and adapt to the chaos that continued to be more and more present in our everyday life,” Jana Bahrich explained in a statement. “As I was writing the EP, it felt like every moment got weirder along with my headspace. I was inspired to mimic that mayhem by using heavier guitars and darker tones, leaning into drum sounds that were massive and bombastic, drawing from bands like Slint and The Smashing Pumpkins.”
