How to Play Online Slots Like a Pro The Game Hello roomies, and welcome back to BingoHall’s “How to Play Online Slots Like a Pro” series. Last time we talked about the basics of online slots. We have given you a walkthrough for all the terms you need to be aware of, and have given you a few cool tips as well. For the new installment of our series, we thought it would be an excellent idea to play one of the games ourselves and to write down a log, detailing everything that happened. This should give you an insight into what you can expect when you play online slots.
The preparation We chose to play online slots on Bee Land, a game we picked randomly. The game is perfect for all you honeybee lovers out there. The symbols represent beautifully stylized bees while the music makes you think about sunbathing in
a garden full of flowers. We can almost smell them as we prepare to play the game.
Bee Land provides players with 20 paylines across 5 reels and a maximum bet of $5 per payline. The Honey Maker is the scatter symbol. It pays anywhere on the table and getting it 3 or more times will take you to a special free spin bonus round. You will get 12 free spins and a bonus multiplier, according to the number of scatter symbols that appears on your board. If you get 3, all your earnings during the bonus round will be multiplied by 3, if you get 4, the winnings will be multiplied 5 times, while getting 5 symbols will multiply your free spin winnings by 10. The Three Wild Flowers is the Bonus symbol. Get it 3 times on an active payline and you can access a special bonus round, called the “Honey Queen�. There you will have to collect pollen, transform it into delicious honey and take it to the queen for a huge reward.
Starting to play We decided that if we wanted to play online slots for a longer amount of time, starting with a small bet and the most amount of paylines would be the best idea. So we selected a bet of $0.05 and activated all 20 paylines. That led to a total bet per spin of $1.
The first 10 spins didn’t bring us much. We only managed to get 2 winning combinations for a total of $3. But we were so busy laughing at how cute the bee in the pink tutu dress looked like that we didn’t really care much about anything else. Over the next few spins we won a total $5, but we were still $7 down from our initial sum. We decided that our resolve to play online slots consistently would pay off in the end, so we kept going with the same bet. About 5 spins later we got a nice pack of 3 wilds across the reels, which activated a grand total of 15 paylines! That got us to a nice $13 over the initial $50. And if that wasn’t enough, on the very next spin we got 2 more wilds, activated 5 paylines and won $6 more!
We won $6 playing in Bee Land! Whoever said it’s boring to play online slots has never visited BingoHall! By now we were already $19 ahead. Reported to our initial sum, that represented a nice 38% profit. We could have easily stopped there. But it was good that we didn’t, as 3 spins later we got 3 scatter symbols and entered the free spin round! There we managed to win $7.5 more!
We got 12 free spins and won $7.50 in the process!
Needless to say, we were having the time of our lives. The funny thing is that our luck did not stop there. Just 3 spins later we got 3 more Wild symbols. This time they activated a mere 8 paylines, but with a total gain of $18!!
We won $18 so far! We were already more than 20 minutes into our gaming session and everything was going great. The game was treating us very well and, considering how much money we had when we started, we had already won a tidy sum. We almost doubled our initial betting pool, but we wanted to keep going and reach the special bonus round. And so, we started to spin the reels again. After about 5 more minutes, we got a jolt of excitement, as we got 2 bonus symbols and a wild. However, we remembered that the wild symbol cannot act as a replacement for the bonus one. Thus, we had to keep going. The bonus round! Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait too long and we managed to get lucky with 3 bonus symbols on an active payline! Now we were finally able to document the bonus round thoroughly. Everything starts with a set of instructions.
We finally got in the Bonus Round! Really excited about it! Let’s see what we can win! Then, you have to select 1 of 7 flowers. Each flower can give you a specific amount of points, while one of them unfortunately spells “game over”. If you choose the wrong one, the bonus round ends here and you don’t win anything. Luckily, we chose a flower that gave us 200 pollen points.
First stage of our bonus round in Bee Land! After we gathered the pollen, we stopped for a second and thought about how fun it is to play online slots! Then we got back to business and chose one of 3 honey making machines. Again, choosing the wrong one will take you out of the bonus round. However, we managed to get lucky again and chose a good machine.
…and we got to stage 2! Let’s see what we’ll win! Finally, we got to select the Queen Bee’s house and she rewarded us with even more points. In total we raised 1,900 points. When multiplied with our bet of $0.05, that led to a tidy $95 just for the bonus round.
We won 1,900 bonus points which translated into $95! Over the course of 35 minutes, all we did was play online slots and we made a profit of $115! That’s more than 200% of our starting money. Overall it was a great experience and we managed to capture a few great images as well. As you can see, you don’t need a lot of money or too much time to play online slots and win. All you need is a positive attitude and a bit of know-how. And now that you have our play-through, you already know more than enough about The Game.
