Before you start playing
Before you play any bonus feature slot game, either online or at a land-based casino be sure to read the pay table. You must know what is needed to activate the bonus round and if a specific bet level is required, such as max coins.

Bonus feature slots are not worth playing if you do not intend to qualify for the feature round. This is because the bonus round pay outs are included in the games overall payout percentage. More often than not, max bet is required but not always - so remember to always read the pay table before you play.

In our Bonus Feature Slots Review Section you will find the betting requirement listed for each game within the review. So you really have no excuse for missing out on any of the bonus rounds because you did not read the pay table.

While you are playing bonus game slots
There is absolutely nothing you can do to alter your chances of hitting a winning combination, this is true for all types of slots. The random number generator that creates the spin outcomes is not affected no matter what you do.

Depending on what type of bonus feature slot you are playing there are some things to look out for and to maximize your chance of being a winner.

Some bonus round games require that you collect a certain amount of symbols before you get to the bonus round, if you have only got one to go it is highly recommended that you continue to play until you hit the feature, most of the time the feature pay out will be worth waiting for.

On games where you can hold the reels it pays to become very familiar with the pay table. This way you know what to hold and can maximize your chances of hitting the better combinations, also you can avoid missing out on pay outs because you did not realize you had a paying combination.

Basically the biggest tip we can give you is be ALERT. Take the time to understand the game you are playing and your enjoyment will increase.

Money Management - Strategies for Success
Since there is nothing you can do to alter the reel outcomes, there is another factor that you, the player have complete control of - Your money. Playing with a money management strategy can give you a better chance of at least playing longer and hopefully ending up a happy player.

The easiest and one of the most popular techniques is the "Play Through" technique. Using this strategy is fairly simple, you just play your bankroll through your selected machine once and only once. What you have left at the end is what you leave the casino with or if you are ahead play on with.

Another point to note is that many players who want to play longer don't adjust their bet sizes accordingly. Your bankroll should let you have at LEAST 30 spins on the slot of your choice. Always remember that it is your decision which slot and what coin size you will play at - don't play above your comfort level.

Final Note
As with any type of gambling there are risks involved. Always remember to play only with money you can afford to lose. Play for entertainment only and you will find that the enjoyment you get from playing increases.
