Introduction:

In the video slot gaming world, players and experts often stay that the outcome of your pay is fixed the second you start playing a slot game. But not all games are created equal. And while this may have been true with older machines, there are many newer machines that can potentially buck this trend. As games incorporate more gamification techniques to entertain and engage different audiences, the possibilities of different game types are growing more and more diverse each year.

In this exploration of luck and skill, we delve into the possibility of changing your fortune on video slots with this one special tip and insights from a special game we found.

8 Reasons

With that said, let's dive into the game in question called Rising Phoenix. It's a modern video slot game with some simple features. It has about 5 spinning reels and 3 columns.

What is special about this game is that it guarantees you a bonus wheel when you get 4 total phoenix wild symbols if you also get a paid winning line on your game on this 4th phoenix on game. If you don't have a winning line, the bonus wheel will just add random multipliers to the pre-existing values on wheel.

If you are lucky and are able to get a winning line when you get the 4th phoenix wild, then this will trigger the bonus wheel arrow to spin around the bonus wheel.

So what is this special bonus trick and why does it matter?

If you get to the bonus wheel with a winning line and the bonus wheel arrow starts spinning around the wheel, then you can potentially change your multiplier value for better or for worse depending on your strategy.

If you press the Start button before the spinner stops, it will give the arrow a kinetic push around the wheel. If the spinner is starting to slow down, then the push can be as little as 1 to 3 spaces. If you press the start button much earlier while the spinner has a lot more motion, it will likely give a much bigger push around the bonus wheel.

If you see that your wheel is starting to slow down and may stop at X2, then that little push may give the arrow enough power to for example go from x2 to instead land on an x10 multiplier or x11 multipier or more if there are higher multipliers on the bonus wheel. That is why even if you don't win a paid line on the 4th bonus round phoenix can be a good thing in the long run if you keep on playing as each bonus wheel multiplier can be raised.

This tip will especially be helpful if you are able to get either the Grand Free Spins or Major Free Spins bonus which will place either a Grand spot or Major spot on the wheel. Major or grand jackpot may vary depending on your slot bid denomination, but with this button trick, you may be able to bend fortune in your favor if you see the wheel may be falling short of reaching the coveted major or grand tile. So that little kinetic push may make the difference between a regular multiplier as opposed to a grand or major jackpot.

 Keep in mind that odds are by default in the casino's favor. So even though you may have a chance to change your luck on the bonus round to increase your multiplier, the game makers still may have the upper hand overall as they can possibly control whether or not you even have a good winning hand when you get that 4th phoenix wild. There are times you may play and get the wild but not get any winning line so the game design may encourage you to keep playing and betting more until the next round that gets a winning line with the 4th multiplier.
Or if the winning line is a low-paying line, then this is another way the odds can favor the casino. With this said, hopefully this little tip can help you have a fighting chance in winning.

Bonus Tip: If you also see two out of the three grand or major bonus free spins show up, then it's possible to use the start button to time the final 3rd free spin tile to stop based on the rhythm of the free spin tile showing up.
