As slots get increasingly volatile, the way we play slots sometimes has to change too. Here’s a timely example from the questions we’ve received:
How do you make huff n puff work with only $200? I’m not being snarky I promise. I love Huff N’ Even More Puff and High Rise but they rarely love me back lol what denomination and amount would you play?

With higher volatility slots where the bonuses are more out of reach, the easiest way to give yourself a fighting chance is to lower your bet. So on both of these machines that $1 bet at penny denomination just gives you more spins to reach the bonus, and the bonuses themselves have some real potential even at that bet level.
We’ve had encounters with both games where you can burn through $50 or $100 with not much happening. The opposite can also happen – we’ve had a really lucky scenario once where we got three bonuses and a big win (four total good paying events in all) in five (!) spins on High Rise.
The randomness of slots means you can encounter clumps of activity followed by periods of nothingness, especially given the higher volatility of these games. So this is one of those times where bankroll management is essential.
Slots 10 or 20 years ago used to be a bit more forgiving. A bonus would come out, on average, around every 50 spins, and the win size would be 25x. Bonus frequency averages now are above the 100 spin mark. If you played the old slots and the new slots the same way, there’s the risk of running out of money before you reach a bonus.
$200 means a minimum of 200 spins (presuming nothing won, which is very unlikely) to achieve a bonus. With some line hits sprinkled in, you’ll certainly have even more spins. And on these games a 100x bonus isn’t out of the question (although landing a Mini on the Huff N’ Even More Puff Wheel will sting).
Of course, slots have a house edge, so there’s no guarantee this will give you a winning session, but it will at least give you a chance to reach a bonus or two along the way.
