Dumb Question of the Day

Yes, and it seems the higher bets might hit higher, but not as often, and certainly not often. I only have bet a dollar when I am WAY up and then only for a very few spins, because I am chicken, lol.

I am just wondering, for example, if I hit a bonus round playing 40 cents a spin. Should I bummed, because I should have been betting 60 cents for that round or IF I had been betting 60 cents, would I have maybe not hit the bonus round cuz of different settings? See what I mean?

I have always wondered about how that works.

Oh, and BTW, Loose Caboose at High Noon Casino is hitting like CRAZY tonight, lol. I am having so much fun, spinning a little on and off.

At Club World and Lucky Red, Loose Caboose had kind of died on me for a LONG time. Tried it tonight at High Noon, and I have hit the bonus round at least FIVE times. Once time I had the train cover all THREE lines (which rarely happens to me, either) retriggered, and I won 97 dollars on SIXTEEN spins. That is almost as much as my 110+ spins on the Club World game. I just hit it again getting FOUR trains, but the caboose only covered one line this time. Still I got like 45 to 50 dollars on this round. I LOVE Loose Caboose when it is paying. lol

The game is usually the same no matter the bet size with one important exception in the jackpot games. Often you are only able to win the progressive jackpot by betting the maximum. When the game has a random jackpot, you often have more chance of winning it by betting larger. However your bet size does not change the chance of winning any of the minor prizes.

I really thought I would hear different. /That the settings ARE different according to the bet (I know the amounts are, due to the bet, obviously, but I am truly surprised by this answer).

Also, I didn't think the online casinos were like that, where you have to bet MAX to get the progressives, cuz in the perpetual winner's thread I have heard of others winning them betting lower. So are you saying just that the chances are better with betting bigger? I also know many at land casinos who won great progressives and hand pays betting the minimum (but not as much recently). I won't play on a land casino progressive slot machine where I have to bet max to get the progressive (Outback Jack is one example where you do NOT have to). Different when playing 2 bucks on a dollar machine versus 1.00. I will always bet max on those, because it would be silly not to try for the "big one." lol

Thanks, CL-Ed!

I really wonder about this, because when you look at the Perpetual Winners thread a few won MAJORS with betting like 50 cents, and I won that Minor playing 88 cents, which is minimum bet for Lucky Tiger. So, I guess we still have a chance, but the odds are BETTER if we bet bigger? I won't play on land casino machines where you have to bet max to win big. I know two people who won the Major on Outback Jack betting 30 cents per spin, lol, so I guess it CAN happen, just not as often as for bigger rollers?

That makes sense, CL-Ed. Thank you, as always! 🙂
