Playing with Casino Credits
The paytable describes which combination of paylines and symbols pay the most, and how much you need to bet.
Machines that translate your cash into ‘credit’ rather than displaying a monetary value can be confusing because this credit style play is normally done without telling you.
Credits are created automatically, apparently to give players more value for money. This does not always work out to be true however.
For example: You might start out with $100 in your account, which you want to spin out over a week or so, but find you have spent it in half an hour, when the machine offers you a thousand or so credits and a multiplicity of paylines, and multiple credit per-play games.
Credits are easy to get and even easier to spend, because online slot machines automatically convert your entire account balance into credits.
By using credits, casinos are actually using a bit of reverse psychology on its punters. That is, they know people don’t like to spend dollars, so instead we get credits. But what’s the catch?
When playing at a machine that does this, it is important to make sure you know exactly how much one credit actually is. Sometimes, depending on the machine one credit can mean anything. It can be easy to accidentally press maximum bet without noticing, and as you burn through credits, your balance can disappear in minutes.
One of the best things to do is to check the games in play money mode beforehand. That way you can see just how the credit games work or If in doubt, then there is always the option of finding an online slot game or casino that offers monetary play. It is easier to understand, and also when its real dollars you are burning through, it is much easier to stop.
