Example , you deposit £100 and get a 100% bonus . You have £200 to play with but £5000 wagering to complete
How would you go about this ? Some will start with as low as 40c spins , right ? Others might bet £1 or £2 but how many would go hard from the start with the max allowed £5 spins ?? Hardly anyone afaik
However , the max bet rule is there for a reason and do you know what that reason is ? It's because the bigger you bet the more money you will come away with on average !! You might want to do 50c spins on a £200 bankroll to give yourself more chance of hitting that big bonus and more playing time but the fact is playing like that WILL cost you money . If you want to maximise your chances of winning money from a bonus then you need to do max allowable bet all the time. (check the bonus T&C's for the max bet allowed)
I don't know of a slot variance simulator but here is an example for roulette adjusted to 96% RTP doing 10000 trial runs for each betsize . As you can see as the betsize increases the average return increases and the maximum return increases . On the negative side the chance of busting increases also BUT on average you will win more (with bigger winning sessions which is fun of course)
£100 deposit + £100 bonus = £200 start balance
£5000 wagering
Betsize £1
Avg End Balance £71
Max End Balance £378
Chance of gain 31%
Chance of Bust 23%
Betsize £2
Avg End Balance £77
Max End Balance £432

Of course slots are not the same as roulette so these numbers are just to give an idea of the principle but the fact is that bigger bets = more money won (or less lost) per £1 wagered . Just something to think about next time you feel like "degening" with big bets you will actually be playing more optimally ! Go hard or go home truly applies here
IF I made a mistake here or there's something wrong with my logic then lmk but I feel like this isn't widely understood amongst slot players and they feel like they are playing better doing "sensible" bets of say 1/200th of their bankroll but in reality this strategy is actually hurting their chances of coming out on top !
