There\u2019s no end to the varieties of slots games out there, from Megaways slots to Jackpot King slots to hold and win slots, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

But such a vast array can be overwhelming for a newcomer, and it\u2019s no surprise that beginners often find themselves avoiding certain kinds of slots because they simply don\u2019t understand how they work.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve come across drops and wins slots, but you\u2019re nervous about trying them, you\u2019re in the right place. In this article, we\u2019ll take you through how they work, how to play, how much you can win – and, most importantly, the <\/span>best strategies to use to profit<\/span><\/a> from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do Slots Games Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Slots games almost all work on the basis of a number of spinning reels<\/b>, usually three or five, although there can be many more. When you click to play the game, each of those reels spins before landing on symbols from a predetermined range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you match a certain number of symbols (three or more, as a rule), either in a row or along specified pay lines, you win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each symbol is assigned a value, meaning that the amount you win will vary depending on which symbols you\u2019ve matched. The higher value symbols are less common, meaning that a small win is more likely than a large one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most modern slots games also offer bonus features<\/b>, which typically give you free spins or begin a mini game if you land a certain number of bonus symbols in a spin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are nigh limitless variations on the traditional slots format, but the vast majority of slots games work roughly along these lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The outcome of the spin itself is determined by a <\/span>Random Number Generator<\/b>, or RNG, which is built into the game software. Each possible outcome is assigned a number, and weighted according to how frequently it should occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RNG is run for every spin of the game, ensuring the result is both random and fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Different About Drops And Wins Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are two main features in drops and wins slots that set them apart from other slots games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Tournaments<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you play any drops and wins games, you\u2019re automatically entered into a daily tournament.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you play, your high scores will be added to a live leader board – your score is calculated by multiplying your biggest win from a single spin by your stake.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Based on your success in these daily tournaments, you get the chance to win prizes based on your position. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>At the time of writing, there was a total prize pool of \u00a340,000 up for grabs, with a maximum daily prize of \u00a35000 and a total of 3500 prizes available to win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Prize Drops<\/b><\/h3>\n

In addition to the weekly tournaments, prizes are randomly awarded when playing any drops and wins slots game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prize drops are triggered at random during normal play, and are paid from a daily prize pool – at the time of writing, this was \u00a330,000, but can vary. This is split across potentially thousands of prizes, which can be up to as much as 2500x your stake.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Play Drops And Wins Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Drops and wins slots are just like any other slots game!<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing you need to do is ensure your stake is at least 15p to qualify for the daily leader board, though any stake qualifies you for daily prize drops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Otherwise, simply play as normal, hitting the spin button to play the game, and hope for a win!<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Can You Win From Drops And Wins Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to the game itself, it all depends on the maximum winnings for that game.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Big Bass Bonanza\u2019s drops and wins game has a maximum win value of 2100x your stake during regular play – but if you\u2019re hugely successful, you\u2019re also likely to get a great score on the daily leaderboard, further increasing your win.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, of course, you\u2019ve also got the chance to win a prize drop on any spin!<\/span><\/p>\n

You should be aware, though, that despite the potential for massive wins through the leader board and prize drops, <\/span>the likelihood is that you will lose money overall when playing a slots game<\/b>, and drops and wins slots are no different.<\/span><\/p>\n

To have a good chance of making a profit, you need to play strategically – and the next section covers exactly how that works.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Best Strategies To Profit From Drops And Wins Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The best strategy to use for drops and wins slots is pretty much the same as for any other type of slot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the likelihood of winning anything significant from either a weekly tournament or from daily prize drops is pretty minimal, you can largely ignore the special features of drops and wins slots if you\u2019re intending to play strategically to end up in profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is to use a strategy that puts you in a position where you are statistically more likely than not to profit from your play.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how does that work? It hinges on the concept of \u2018<\/span>return to player<\/b><\/a>\u2019 (also known as RTP) in casino games, which is the average percentage of money staked that is paid out to players in winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

A game with an advertised RTP of 95%, for example, would pay out \u00a395 for every \u00a3100 staked on average, with the remaining \u00a35 forming the casino\u2019s profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every slots game, whether a drops and wins game or any other kind, has this profit margin coded in its operating software<\/b>. This means that players will lose a portion of their money, on average, when playing slots.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s before you take free spins into account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bookies and casinos almost always have a range of <\/span>promotions on offer<\/span><\/a>, which allow you to earn free spins or other casino bonuses. When you take these rewards into account, you often come out statistically ahead, rather than expecting to lose a portion of your money.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, let\u2019s consider a typical sign up offer – <\/span>stake \u00a310 on slots to receive 100 free spins<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the game in question has an RTP of 95%, you\u2019d expect to make a return of \u00a39.50 on average from your \u00a310 wagering, resulting in a 50p loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your free spins have a value of 10p each (which is typical), you can calculate that these free spins are also worth \u00a310 – and if you play them on a slots game that also has a 95% RTP, you can expect to make another \u00a39.50 in winnings on average.<\/span><\/p>\n

You would therefore end up with an average profit of \u00a39 from this offer<\/b> – a solid return on your initial stake.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are lots of offers available along these lines, meaning that you can repeat this process to make ongoing profits from casino.<\/span><\/p>\n

And to make this easier, <\/span>OddsMonkey members<\/b><\/a> who choose the All Access package gain access to over 100 casino sign up offers, plus tons of reload offers<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You should be aware that there is risk in completing casino offers, however<\/b>. Your results are unlikely to precisely match the advertised RTP of a game from just a couple of hundred spins – and it is possible to lose your \u00a310 and win nothing at all from your free spins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, the likelihood is that you will end up in profit overall, and this is ever more likely as you complete more offers, reducing the variance in your results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Ways To Make Money From Online Betting Sites<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why people become such fans of casino offers, but there\u2019s no denying that they involve an element of risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
