Grinding Slots Online

Everyone knows someone who grinds out a decent living at poker, but did you know it’s entirely possible to do the same with online slots? Well it is, and here’s what you need to know if you want to join the ranks of the slots pros!

First up, it’s the bonuses offered by online casinos which are going to work in your favor – so you have to know and understand exactly what you can and can’t do with the free money they are offering.

High payout and low playthrough

Your grinding will basically involve playing some of the highest payout games with your bonus money and then try your hardest to get to the withdrawal part of the process!

So, low play-through is a must for any game you’re looking to play, and the number should be connected to your bonus as well as your initial deposit. Any playthrough bonus which is set at 30 or less is ideal, giving you a decent chance of turning your bonus into cold hard cash.

Check the small print!

It’s really important that you double-check that your chosen game has no – or decent – cash limits on what you can win with your bonus. If you’re playing real money slots for example, you need to focus on games which don’t include an unrealistic limit to your winnings!

Also look out for the minimum/maximum stakes for bonus play as you’ll find many online casinos instantly snaffling your entire winnings if you play either side of these stake limits. Be careful – that’s your profit disappearing down the tubes through carelessness!

Which games give me an edge?

Theoretically none, of course! The house ‘always wins’. But this is where your clever use of the bonuses comes in – you find the games, the best online slots where the payouts are so close to 100% that your bonus plays make them +EV (in poker parlance).

And of course, you need to make sure you’re playing on reputable sites - well-reviewed casinos which have no problem paying you when your grinding comes to fruition. There are plenty of them out there, but as ever the onus is on you to check them out before depositing!

So, good luck with your slots grinding – it may not look quite so great on a CV but it can certainly improve the look of your bank balance!
