Coin value and bet level do not affect your result

Many game developers, including Big Time Gaming and IGT , basically completely ignores coin values and bet levels in machines . Instead, it's all about what multiplier your bet is multiplied by if you win. Other game developers continue on the classic concept of coins.

For example, if you click up a slot from NetEnt or Play'n GO you can usually find (at least) two ways to adjust the bet. You can enter the coin value and you can click on BET level (number of coins). Here we are going to go a little more in depth$ing this concept.

Two ways to customize the inserts

The bet for a spin on a slot is determined by coin value, bet level and number of lines (or profit routes and the like). If you put a coin worth one$ona at stake in a slot with ten paylines, the bet is 10$. If you decrease and increase the values, the Bets will be smaller and higher, respectively.

The idea of offering these options is to make it easier to adjust the bet precisely. Fruit Shop NetEnt is a good example. Here, the two betting options give you the opportunity to play with a myriad of different bet sizes. Another good example is Starburst . On other slots, the division into two options is not nearly as necessary.

Are the chances of winning affected by what you choose?

Slot players are often somewhat superstitious, and it can be easy to get hung up on coin values and bet levels. Some players think that they may be able to get increased chances of winning if they increase the coin value or bet level. However, the reality is that the way the efforts are built up has no influence whatsoever on the result. The chances of winning are the same whether you play with a high coin value or with a lot of coins. That you win ”more " in the form of more coins if you choose to focus on the coin value is another matter.

Example: We can use Play'N GO's monster hit Book of Dead as an example. In this game, you can change all three possible bet parameters, i.e. both the number of lines, the coin value and the number of coins.

If you want to play for, say,$ 5 per spin with all the lines in play, you have two options. One is to set the coin value to 10 cents (0.01 euro) and play with a maximum of 5 coins. The second is to set the coin value to 50 cents (0.05 euros) and play with one coin per line. When you take home a win, the win in coins will be different in size depending on the option you choose. However, the actual amount added to your gaming account will be the same, so the choice of options does not matter at all.

In Jackpot games, the stake plays a role

In this context, it is wise to make some note of$ing bets and Jackpot games. When you play a” regular " slot without a progressive jackpot, the size of the Bet does not matter in relation to your chances of winning. The situation can be different when it comes to jackpot games. There are examples of slots with progressive jackpots in which larger efforts are clearly rewarded. Mega Moolah from Microgaming is a typical example, Hall of Gods from NetEnt is another. However, how you choose to compose your larger bet with coin values and bet levels still doesn't matter.
