If you are playing slots at online gambling sites your goal should be to try and hit some sort of jackpot. Playing slots at online gambling sites is fun but eventually the house edge will take some of your bankroll. To win at slots gambling you need to hit a jackpot so you need the proper bankroll to reach that goal.

Let’s look at the bankroll you need. You always need to play the maximum coins and most machines will pay back 95% or so. Let’s say you play for about 3 hours, or 1,800 spins. If you have a $50 bankroll you will have about a 2% chance of hitting the jackpot. Your chances of losing that entire $50 are about 77%. If you increase your bankroll to $100 your chances of hitting the jackpot go up to 3% in those 1,800 spins and your chances of losing it all drops to about 50%. If you up the bankroll to $200 you up your chances of hitting the jackpot go up to 4% and your chances of losing it all drops to about 10%. Increasing the bankroll to $300 doesn’t help your chances of hitting the jackpot. That really doesn’t change no matter the bankroll but it does drop your chances of going broke in those 1,800 spins to about 1%. You can technically increase your chances of hitting the jackpot to about 5% with a bankroll of $400 or $500 but that is as high as your chances of hitting the jackpot will ever go in those 1,800 spins. You won’t go broke with that much money either.
