SLOTS QUIZ
Part 2
Here is the second part of the Slots Quiz with 7 additional questions and a ratings chart. Let's begin...
8.) What is a nudge slot?
- Wild Symbol combination pays?
- A certain combination nudges you to the Bonus round?
- Paying Symbol dropping up or down on center payline for win?
C. Come on baby, drop that paying symbol down and give mama a big win. It could be a basketball, diamond, cherry or wild symbol. You just need a little nudge up or down to that center payline and you're in the money.
9.) What's a short win?
- A small jackpot?
- A win just before you are running out of money?
- A large win with a small cash outlay?
C. This happens all the time. A large jackpot is hit with a minimal cash outlay. 15 bucks gets you $1000's. Now that's a long win on a short chance. Take the money and run!
10.) What is “flying solo”?
- Gambling alone?
- Slot Players who play one coin only.
- Only winner of a progressive jackpot?
B. I call them 'onesies'. Slot players who play only one coin. I know I advocate wager management, but this is wager suicide. I suggest you drop down a denomination and play max. coins where at least you are in the running for the top jackpot without the 'slot bends' of missing out because you should have played just one more coin. The only exception here is the bonus multi-line slots.
11.) Which is better: pull the handle or press the spin button on slots?
- Handle?
- Spin Button?
- Neither, both the same?
C. There is no difference, fellow slot players. Manufacturers still add on the handles as a holdover from the 'bronze-age' days of slots. The day is coming when the handle will be eliminated entirely and we will surely yearn for the good ol' days.
12.) What is a Wild-Pay slot?
- Slot that has more wild symbols than 7's?
- Slot types that offer double, triple and more with wild symbols?
- Only wild party animals are paid jackpot?
B. The Wild symbol substitutes for a win, double wild symbols multiplies win, and generally, three wild symbols net you the top jackpot on payline. There are many more wild slots out there to choose now. However, keep this in mind before selecting, the higher the payout multiplies, (e.g. 5x 10x 20x), the lower the probability of payouts. Therefore, seek out the double, and triple wild slots.
13.) How many Games/Hour does the average slot player play?
- 500/games/hour?
- 600/games/hour?
- 700/games/hour?
A. 500/games/hour on average. These stats can change dependent upon whether coins are manually inserted or credits used. There really is no need to hurry, unless you are playing in a Slot Tournament, and then accelerate to warp-speed for the win.
14.) Are there higher dollar values for some Progressives in the casino?
- YES?
- NO?
- All the same?
A. Oh yeah. Most casinos have a selection of banks/carousels that consist of Progressive slots with different primary jackpot$. All savvy slot players will want to scout out these slots and play 'large'.
Ratings:
14 -10: Congrats. A veteran player with a slots education degree. Bravo.
