How to Pick your Coin Size when Playing Online Slots

By Keila Brown | 1st September 2010 | Casino Game Updates

Most online casino slot games let you pick the size of your wager. Usually, you can play anything between $0.01 to $5. This gives everyone a chance to play even if they want to bet small. Most sites, however, require the player to bet the max amount in order to win the max prize when playing online slots.

Since we all want to win the highest amount we can and take home the biggest prizes we can, it would make sense to wager a $5 coin with every spin. But wagering a $5 coin does not ensure success with every spin, as we all know.

The main reason to play a $5 coin is because this is where most of the jackpots are hit. The question is, however, how often does that big jackpot actually come around? If you pay the $5 coin only to win the big jackpot, then your chances of winning are very small and you don’t really need to play with such a large amount. Most people shouldn’t play the slots every time with a $5 coin since they don’t play long enough to give them a good enough chance of winning the actual big jackpot, thus putting their bankroll at risk.

At the end of the day, when playing online slots, your main goal is to have a good time. Of course winning lots of money is important too, but that’s just a side goal. Assuming you’re playing for fun and get a thrill out of playing slots, it wiser to play with a $1 or $2 coin and on only put down a $5 coin on occasion.

The idea is to have fun and make your bankroll last as long as you can. If you manage to do that, it really doesn’t matter what size coin you wager at the end of the day.
