When a 3 coin slot machine offers a bonus payout
in the jackpot prize for a 3 coin bet then ideally it's always
best to max bet 3 coins as that is where alot of the value in
playing the slot games lies. You will certainly be kicking yourself
if you do hit a jackpot and you weren't max betting.
However, some slot games don't offer any extra value
for max betting 3 coins. We will list those online slots at the
base of this page because they are ideal for trying out any of
our strategies as your not losing out on any value in the jackpot.
We have just laid out nine slot machine strategies that
can be applied to the three-reel 3 coin slot machines.
- Up
The Steps: This is probably the best, mostly because
you can bet small when losing and betting max at the
hottest times. Its an ideal strategy if you have a small
bankroll and want to maximize playing time and also
for pessimistic players who don't want to always bet
max just for the added value of the jackpot that they
think they wont win. This method gets another look at
five-reel machines.
- Up
The Steps Hi/Low: This is slightly more aggressive
than our first strategy because you can jump from minimum
to maximum bets in jumps rather than steps .
- Patterns:
A disciplined betting strategy that is set out before
you start playing. Useful in controlling any losses
but has disadvantage of you sticking to the low betting
levels of the pattern when at slots game is running
hot. As well as the basic patterns strategy we also
have variations:
Aggressive
Patterns Bigger bets.
Controlled
Patterns. Have some sort of controlled betting pattern.
- Chickens
Slot Strategy: A strategy for those who like to
vary the machines they play on. Split the bankroll into
sessions and play one session on each machine and then
leave whether winning or losing. Run like a chicken.
- Squirrels
Slot Strategy: Similar to the chicken strategy but
if you have a winning session you stay playing at the
hot slot and guarantees you leaving the session a winner.
- 3
Star Strategy: Tallows you to stay at a certain
machine, but gives you a chance to drop to a lower bet.
- The
Simple Strategy: You start with a middle 2 coins
bet. If you win you jump to max coins. You stay at max
coins until a loss occurs, then you drop one betting
level. After every loss you drop one level; after every
win you jump to max bets, simple??
Take your time to examine each of these strategies and see where
you can add your own variations. There are good points with each,
that will protect your play.
