Upping the stakes with high value pokies
Playing pokies with a small bankroll can be really fun but the real excitement of playing is using larger stakes where the possibility of really big wins is more realistic. While there is a lot more excitement with bigger stakes there is also the need to play with a cool head and a clam, reasonable sense of judgement. If you’re going to play high-value pokies you’ll need tips from the best in the business, check out our red hot information on how to make the most of your high value pokie fun….
Spin levels and the amount of risk you play with
The most successful pokie gamers know that whether they are playing high stakes pokies or spinning on the minimum level it is always a good idea to employ a low spin risk. This means that you should aim for a spin level of around 1% of your bankroll, if you’re starting out with a budget of 100.00 a good risk level to start off on would be 0.10 per spin. That way when you do lose it does not greatly alter your bank balance! It also makes it easier to avoid chasing losses, as your bankroll grows you can increase your relative spin risk.
The power of an intelligent budget
Pokies is a form of entertainment, just like going to the movies or eating out so when you budget for pokies create a realistic budget. Yes you will have winning sessions and there are potentially great rewards to be won but there will also be sessions where everything doesn’t quite go according to play. When planning you budget work out how many spins you could get if you lost every single spin (virtually impossible to do!) this will give you an idea of how far you can stretch your budget. Eg:
100 x 0.01 = 1.00
100 x 0.10 = 10.00
100 x 1.00 = 100.00
Fixed your spin size as a low percentage of your entire bankroll will keep you in the game longer increasing your chances of landing that über-jackpot spin so plan ahead and make the most of your budget. Use common sense: if your bankroll is 500.00 then spins of 0.50 are realistic and could fetch you big rewards.
High value pokies: who is it for?
Anybody can play high value pokies provided they create a realistic pokie budget and don’t break the bank in doing so. You can win big by playing with spins of 10.00 or even 100.00 but remember there is also the possibility you may lose. It is all part of the excitement of pokies! Follow these tips and work out if you’re ready to take the step up:
> Only move on to higher stakes pokies if you have cut your teeth on lower level pokie wagering over a period of time. This experience will stand you in good stead when it comes to winning or losing sessions playing at a higher value.
> Build up your bankroll BEFORE you begin to play higher value pokies
>Keep in mind the relative risk and spin level that you are comfortable playing with
> The possibility of losing is very real but so is the chance of winning BIG! Enjoy your pokie gaming to the max!
