However one question that you may have in regards to playing multi stake slot games is whether the actual stakes you are playing those slot machines for have an effect either positive or negative on your overall winning chances.

This is a good question, for you would have thought that a high stake player who is prepared to wager for maximum bet spins when playing slot games should be rewarded with more winning payouts than a player who only wishes to play a for tiny stakes per spin.

In this slot playing guide we will take a look at some slot games that will give you more machines of winning when playing for higher stakes and will let you know what slots will not offer you any more winning chances when playing for high stakes than a player who is playing the same slot for lower stake amounts.

Three Reel Progressive Slot Stakes

Should you be a fan of the many different types of progressive slot machine you will come across online then you do need to be aware of what difference playing them for various different stakes will have on them.

For example if you are playing a three reel progressive slot which offers a single payline then in most cases you will find that if you can put into play more than one coin on that payline the only way you will have of winning the jackpot is by playing maximum bet spins, playing anything lower than maximum bet spins turns off the progressive jackpot element of the game and you will instead be awarded a much smaller payout if you line up the jackpot symbols.

If however a three reel progressive slot games offers you the ability of playing more than one payline then it is often the case that you are obliged to play all of the available pay lines to have any chance of winning the progressives jackpot which is awarded by spinning in the jackpot symbols on the highest number pay lines only.

Video Slots with Progressive Jackpots

There are a lot of different types of progressive slot games which are designed around a video slot structure, and the stake levels at which you play those types of slot games for will usually have an effect of your winning chances.

There are also some progressives video slots which you can play which will award you with the jackpot on just one single payline but often you will find it is the highest numbered payline that offers that jackpot payout, and as such if you do come across those type of slots then you are best advised to stick to playing for the highest stake amount with all of the pay lines activated as you will never have a chance of winning the progressive jackpot without activating all of its pay lines.
