How to pick a fair slot?

[trevorwatson]

I have been trying out different online slots lately, but it feels like most of them are just designed to take your money without any real chance of winning. I am looking for something that is transparent and actually shows the player how the results are calculated. Is there a way to tell if a game is truly fair or just a black box of algorithms? What should I look for in terms of stats or certifications before I start playing?
I would really appreciate any tips on how to find a game that gives me a decent shot at staying in the session for more than five minutes.

Finding a transparent game is actually easier than it looks if you know where to check for the RTP and provably fair settings. I usually stick to Plinko Stake because you can actually see the ball's path and verify the hash of every single round yourself. You can find more info about how this works on this Plinko Stake site. I personally prefer games with an RTP above 97% since they are much more forgiving for beginners. The mechanics in Plinko Online are super simple because there are no hidden symbols or complex bonus triggers to worry about. I always tell my friends to start with low risk settings so they can see the small wins coming in regularly. It is much better to play for an hour with small returns than to lose everything in two spins on a high-volatility slot. Just check the attributes table on the site before you commit any real cash to see the min and max bets. Most of these games are developed by solid teams like Spribe or BGaming, so the quality is always there. I have found that keeping a cool head and not chasing big multipliers is the best strategy. It makes the whole experience way more relaxing when you know the math is on your side.

That makes a lot of sense and I like the idea of being able to verify the rounds myself. I had no idea that some games actually let you see the hash to prove they are fair. I will definitely look for that 97% plus RTP rate from now on. Thanks for pointing out the difference between the providers too. I am going to try the low risk settings tonight to see if I can get some longer playtime.
