Slot strategies: winning on slots, that's how you do it!

We at Goldrun Casino get a lot of questions from players that ultimately come down to, how do you win (more) on online slots? That is why we thought it would be a very good idea to make an online Goldrun Casino Guide about winning online classic slots and how to win money on online video slots in online casinos.

First, a very important caveat. As you know, we at the 100% reliable, 100% legal Dutch online casino Goldrun Casino are always 100% honest with you. Because we are fair to all our players. Therefore: there are no winning slot strategies. There is no such thing as always winning at slots. So don't be fooled. When you play in an (online) casino you can win or lose money.

There are ways to play smart, or should we say smarter, on online slots.

Read with me!

To understand how to win online slots, you need to understand how slots and video slots work in a casino. An online slot, but also the slot machines in Holland Casino, for example, rotate, spin, using a Random Number Generator, an RGN. A Random Number Generator determines completely randomly, so independent of what you do or what you don't, whether a spin is profitable. Or not.

You have 100% no influence on this yourself. Once you have pressed the start button of an online slot machine, the computer, the RNG, determines whether you win or not and if you win, how much money you win. You can see for yourself how much money an online slot theoretically pays out on average, measured over millions of spins. You can tell by the number called RTP. RTP stands for Return To Player. Any slot that has an RTP of 97% or more is a relatively attractive slot to play.

At Goldrun Casino we strive to adjust the slots as much as possible to an RTP that is at least 97%. We state the RTP of each slot machine loud and clear at our online casino Goldrun. You can already see the RTP if you just move your mouse over a slot that you want to play with us. As mentioned, we are an honest online casino. We do!

When you play online slots you do not influence the winnings you score. You can play smarter. For example, only bet more money, per spin, if you are on a win. Then you play with your winnings, so with our money, and not with your own money.

Your chance of winning is also generally greater if you play on a slot machine with a high(er) RTP. However, this is not always the case. Some slots are low volatile, medium volatile or high volatile. A low volatility online slot or classic online slot machine gives prizes more often, but those prizes are often lower. A highly volatile slot machine gives prizes less often, but those prizes are often higher.

It is possible to win more on online slots, for example, if an online casino has a bonus. One form of such an online casino bonus is a slot tournament. If an online casino has slot tournaments, you grab extra prizes, apart from the winnings that a slot machine may pay out of you.

A slot tournament usually works as follows. An online casino has a bonus promotion. For instance. You have to play on a certain online slot machine. Whoever spins the most spins on that online slot or gets the most winnings within a certain time earns extra money. That money does not pay out the slot, but the online casino.

If you participate in online slot tournaments, you can win extra money on slots.

Playing online slots for free in online casinos while winning real money is possible. You are then dependent on online casino bonuses. Many online casinos periodically give away free spins, free spins, to their players. Then you get a certain number of free spins on a slot machine. These online casino bonuses often have bonus conditions. This often means that you cannot have the winnings you make with your free spins paid out immediately.

In Goldrun Casino you also play slots for free, but not for real money. You can play all our online slots in a fun mode, a demo mode. Why not play for free at Goldrun Casino with free spins? Because we don't like gifts for our players that have (very) little value. Goldrun Casino has the best Dutch online casino bonus. With your first deposit of the day you will receive 10% free play credit from us and there are no bonus conditions attached to that. We give you a maximum of €50 free per day, only on your first deposit, because we don't want to tempt our players to deposit too much money.

Do you want to win on a slot machine? Then maybe, if you like, play an online slot that is linked to a jackpot. Keep an eye on it. Many of those online jackpot slots pay out less money if you don't win the jackpot because that jackpot needs to be filled. Online jackpot slots therefore often have a lower RTP – you now know what that is! – than average.

If you play at Goldrun Casino on a selection of classic slots made by the popular slot machine maker Holland Power Gaming, HPG, you will be playing for the Goldrun Casino Mystery Jackpot. Those HPG jackpot slots do not have a low RTP because we at Goldrun Casino fill the jackpot out of our pocket.

We wish you the best of luck winning slots! And remember, always play wisely and never risk more money than the money you can afford to lose if you're unlucky.
