My Top 3 NetEnt Slots

Finding a good online slot could be time-consuming. Gaming companies work hard to release new titles every day and the retro classic slot machines have now become captivating 3D high-quality products. However, this diverse and daily-growing variety can be confusing. My affection for NetEnt is due to fact that their products rarely fail in delivering my complete gambling satisfaction. Down below, I’ll let you peek into my personal most-played NetEnt collection. These games have earned their special place in my slots-loving heart thanks to great payouts and captivating themes. Check them out if you’re looking for some high-winning, yet entertaining game ideas.

Kings of Chicago

Kings of Chicago NetEnt SlotThis slot grabbed my attention as it looked and felt like the perfect synergy between poker and slots. The conventional slot symbols are replaced by winning poker hands. There are 5 fixed paylines on the reels and bets from £0.05 up £50. The usual reel-spinning action is missing, instead, symbols are dealt just like on a real poker table. The cards are laid out from left to right one by one with extra added slow-down effect on the last award-revealing row. The Joker card substitutes for all the other cards and doubles the wins. Three Scatters activate up to 30 free spins with the same x2 multiplier. Overall, with its 97.8% RTP and its unique design, the game is a total winner in my book!

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix NetEnt SlotWhen in the mood for good old guitar riffs and brilliant slot visuals, Jimi Hendrix and NetEnt collaborate to create magic. The game is jam-packed with amazing features, each of them with a special song dedication. Free spins, bonus rounds, and up to x30 multiplier swirl around the 5 reels covered with wild flowers, guitars, and peace signs. It’s one of those slots that must be played with the sound on and with the volume up. But don’t let the good music theme fool you! Besides being a true pleasure for the ears, this NetEnt creation is a treat for your cash balance as well! Bonus features get triggered easily and award pretty rockin’ great!

Twin Spin Deluxe

Twin Spin Deluxe NetEnt SlotTwin Spin Deluxe steps out of the conventional 3-row/5-reel layout with its 6 reels and 5 rows. There are no paylines but clusters instead. To get a payout, you’ll need at least 9 identical symbols lined horizontally or vertically next to each other. I seem to really enjoy this cluster pattern, especially with the twin reel feature. What this feature does is starting all spins with identical twin reels. Both of them are linked and expand up to 6 during the free spins round. This generates pretty epic clusters and a great payout.

These three games are the ones I usually reach to when slots are on my mind. Of course, there are loads of other amazing NetEnt options available on the market.

All games on that platform come with a short rules overview and a free demo for risk-free exploring.

Betting Masterclasses – Part 2

Professional gamblers work hard to gain their achievements and have mastered skills that most of us still struggle with. Part 1 of our masterclass series was just the beginning and I am ready to go further along the success route along with you. To be honest, I didn’t want to bore you with a too long first post while the idea of making it into a series seemed perfect. Either way, I’m glad you are back and let’s get to work!

Bankroll Management and Winning Mentality

GamblersProfessional gamblers and entrepreneurs are kind of the same thing. Gambling could be a business demanding a lot of financial effort for building a thriving venture that pays pack. And just like any other business, financial management is what turns an idea into a winning success story. Of course, if you’re just playing for the thrill without any professional intentions, the following money-managing tactics might be a bit overboard! But what’s certain, they wouldn’t hurt your balance in any way. It’s up to you to choose which one resonate the most with your gambling style and goals.

What sets professional gamblers from the rest of us is that they play focusing on value as opposed to bare money wins. The expected value of a bet can be calculated, and it basically equals the expected average win per bet or the overall edge * average bet * hands per hour * hours played. To put this complicated formula in other words, serious players never define or chase their all-time highest achievement, they chase a positive expected value. This brings us to the conclusion that they enter a game with different expectations than regular players. We tend to expect to win and if we don’t there’s disappointment while professional players share a different idea of winning and losing. A long losing streak would be the most ordinary thing and nothing to be depressed or disappointed by. However, for any of us, it could actually be the end because of our high and not-proper expectations. Having the ‘professional’ winning mentality means to know that mastering the skills is more important than the profit. The only way to achieve that is by not rushing and having patience with yourself and how you perform.

WinningAnother good advice would be to make a plan and follow it. A well-known option is to research different staking systems such as Martingale or Fibonacci. Trying them out takes time, allow yourself that treat and see what works for you and what doesn’t. If you don’t feel confident enough yet, one of the safest ways to select the size of your bets is to go for a percentage of your current bankroll. This often gives a feeling of control and relaxes the mind. After some time and practice, following these type of betting theories would be unnecessary as you’ll be qualified enough to make bet decisions independently. What practice does is gathering all the theories and mathematical calculations into one giant perfect mess. And this mess will at one point provide the right intuition in any given situation, automatically and stress-free.

It’s time to end this class here! Let me know if you’d like a part 3 edition!

Betting Masterclasses – The Beginning

Getting а valuable piece of advice from the right person is often equal to spending multiple hours reading, researching and practicing. Sometimes just a single word at the right moment is what makes the difference and what turns a scarred-of-heights person into a pilot or a hobby gambler into a professional. It takes a lot of effort and dedication to master any type of skill and those who have done it know an awful amount of secrets along the way. If you’re curious to know how a pro gambler thinks and acts or you’re interested in stealing their best moves, just keep on reading. For the sake of this, I’ve researched the pro gamblers’ mindset thoroughly and I’ve tried to narrow the success secrets down to the following key practices.

Emotional Discipline

Playing PokerRule number one for professional gamblers is leaving all emotions at home. We can’t live without feeling but keeping the emotional rollercoaster under control is what professional players learn to do first. To be honest, emotional intelligence is important not only in gambling but in life in general. Emotions help us a lot but only if we know how to manage them. Otherwise, they become the enemy! Now, imagine the enemy taking control over your bets! Nobody would want that! Gamblers need a clear, well-rested, sober, and most of all a calm mind! Emotions tend to mess up with this zen state. And I don’t just mean negative emotions. Positive emotions are just as bad. So, when there are bets are on the table pretend you are at work and you are paid to be professional. And part of your work is to remain calm. I know, gambling is one of the most exciting activities and what’s required is not easy. Yet, there is the trick! Practice self-control, endurance, stay focused, and filter away all emotions. Think of yourself as a robot, a pre-programmed machine and just automatically do what’s best and not what you FEEL like doing! When you’re done all the set-aside emotions are yours to take again!

Psychology of Winning and Losing

Player emotionsNobody wants to lose, and everybody likes to win! But how gamblers embrace defeat and success is what makes them either great or not-so-great. When most people fail to win, the natural response is to start finding excuses or blaming Mercury Retrograde, to say the least. Losing repeatedly causes most people to lose confidence and start discouraging themselves. If you want to be a professional gambler you have to work hard on not being like most people and master your reaction to losses. Losing should be a learning opportunity and nothing to be afraid of. Compete like you train or train like you compete is something all professional gamblers believe in. Winning, on the other hand, comes with a massive adrenaline and happiness boost which could also have very negative side effects. Such as overconfidence, recklessness, but most frequently it leads to increased bets. And there is nothing wrong with raising as long as it’s not out of pure joy only.

I hope you’ve enjoyed our first masterclass! I’m thinking about turning this into a series, so I’ll be glad to see you back very soon!
