When playing slot games, you want to hit the top jackpots. Whether you choose three-reel slots, video slot machines or the old-fashioned ones with a wire running through the slot machine’s top that hits contacts to create a circuit, your chances of hitting big are best on higher denomination machines, but you also have more opportunities to lose fast.

The amount you win on a slot machine is directly proportional to your bet size. The larger your bet, the bigger your wins, but it is important to understand a game’s volatility. High variance means wins are rare, but significant; low volatility means winnings are more frequent and smaller. This information can be found on a game’s help screen or by researching the online casino where you play.
