Batman Slot Machine Tricks

Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” became the third highest grossing movie of all times in 2008, which resulted in a reboot in the way people looked at the caped crusader. Following Dark Knight’s success, Microgaming and IGT both released its Batman inspired The Dark Knight video slot. The Dark Knight slot is a five reeled progressive slot, which is primarily based on the Dark Knight film by Christopher Nolan.

After IGT’s last release, Lord Of The Rings, conquered the hearts and minds of the online slot enthusiasts, the leading online game developers were faced with a challenge of following it up with something equally grand (if not more!). The Dark Knight online video slot from Microgaming is the biggest proof that the gaming developer was successful in that quest. The Dark Knight’s success in the theaters had ensured that the thematic association of the game would give the developers a scope to create something grand. With mind boggling graphics and dynamic gameplay, this online video slot is a worthy successor to the LOTR video slot.

Batman Slot Machine Bonus Collection - Big Wins! How to Win at Slots – Tricks to Improve Your Odds Learning how to win at slots is no easy task. Online slot machines are renowned for being completely random, so no amount of skill will give you. Not all slot games cost the same amount of money per spin. Knowing the cost per spin for a slot machine will help you determine if you can afford to play it or are willing to play it. For example, if a slot machine costs $5 per spin and your budget is $50, then you’ll want to find a slot machine with a cheaper price per spin.

There are 243 different ways for players to win in this online video slot. In a departure from usual Microgaming & IGT tradition, The Dark Knight slot’s betting options are comparatively limited. On the other hand, there are random cash prizes, bonuses, free spins and four different progressive jackpots in this online video slot that enhance the chance of players’ chance of winning the game. The gameplay of Dark Knight slot is based on cinematic spins. That means that cut-scenes would be played from The Dark Knight movie whenever a winning combination is achieved. Both games are unique, however, both have similar features and graphics.

Free Spin Feature

The Dark Knight slot incorporates a free spin feature which is triggered when three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels. The free spin feature lets the player spin fifteen times for free, and the winnings in the free spin round would be increased two-folds. If the player is lucky enough, Joker or Batman will randomly appear on the screen to award them with more extra spins. Some lucky players might even get rewarded with a 5x multiplier over the original 2x during those random appearances by Batman or Joker.

Wild Symbol on The Dark Knight Slot Machine

It is obvious that the wild symbol of this game would be denoted by none other than the caped crusader himself. The Batman wild symbol acts as a substitute for other symbols while completing winning combinations. Batman’s appearance is followed by him giving the player more opportunities to win by covering the reel. Even The Joker is sometimes used as a wild symbol. Joker’s appearance on the reel is characterized by him blowing a symbol up and replacing it with the wild symbol. The wild symbol in The Dark Knight Slot can substitute all symbols except the scatter symbol.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol is one that is characteristically a chaotic element of all video slot games. Therefore it was given that the symbol of chaos in The Dark Knight slot could be none other than The Joker. When the scatter symbol of The Dark Knight online video slot, denoted by The Joker, simultaneously appears anywhere on at least three of the reels, the free spin feature of the game is triggered. The free spin feature of The Dark Knight online video slot gives 15 free spins to the players, with a 2x multiplier. Random appearances by Batman or Joker would allow players to spin even more times, and sometimes would also reward players with a 5x multiplier.

How Can I Win the Dark Knight Progressive Jackpot?

The Dark Knight online video slot is also a part of the Mega-Moolah progressive network, and features four separate progressive jackpots. Players of The Dark knight slot can be entitled to one of the four progressive jackpots, the smallest of which is still a substantial sum of money. The four progressive jackpots of The Dark Knight are named: mini jackpot, micro jackpot, major jackpot and mega jackpot. A player’s chances of winning one of the progressive jackpots are significantly affected by how much he/she is playing the game.

The progressive jackpots in The Dark Knight can be triggered randomly. If a player is fortunate enough to trigger the progressive jackpot round, he/she would have to choose a side (Joker or Batman), spin the wheel and pray for lady luck to smile.

The Dark Knight Slots Game Play And Graphics

The name of the developers of the game drives the expectations from this online video slot sky-high, and gets delivered in due fashion. The Dark Knight’s graphics are an excellent visual feast which stays true to the dark mood of the film itself. It was not an easy job to recreate Christopher Nolan’s broody and noirish vision on an online slot game, but Microgaming pulled it off with flair. The symbols, cinematic cut-scenes and the accompanying music; combined with excellent gameplay, make The Dark Knight Slot a must-play game if you are a slot enthusiast.

The Dark Knight Legacy: Series of Films / Comics

Bob Kane’s Batman has been a super-hero icon from the day he first appeared in DC’s Detective Comics series. Literally Dozens of movies have been made about the ‘world’s greatest detective’ (who also packs a mean punch!). But none have been as critically acclaimed as Christopher Nolan‘s interpretation of the superhero in cinema. Nolan’s vision has reached deep down into the essence of Batman, the story which narrates the struggle of a determined hero who would never give in to the darkness within him. The character of the caped crusader, which is in a constant state of conflict, is one that is admired by comic book fans and movie fans alike.

Apart from being the pop cultural icon that he is, Batman is also a very profitable brand-name. The proof of Batman’s commercial viability is demonstrated in the unprecedented sales of Batman toys, accessories, comics, movies, television shows and merchandise. Even today, after more than seven decades after his creation, the dark cult of Batman remains ever so strong and is still growing in size, fascinating and inspiring countless people from around the planet.

Introduction to High Roller Slots Tricks

This blog continues our journey of winning strategies for slot machine casino gambling. Here, I’ll be explaining to you three easy high roller slots tricks. Now, please understand I’m not trying to turn you into a full-time high-limit slot machine gambler! Not at all!

As I’ll explain, there are some very inexpensive slots winning strategies which can be applied to more than just low limit slots. They can also be rather cheaply used, with only a few bets, on a $1 to $5 denomination high limit slot machine.

The three tricks you should know about involve applying a few of the winning strategies I’ve already discussed, as well as a new slots strategy, winning strategy #6, I’ll be explaining in full momentarily. Here goes!

1st Trick: Use Winning Strategy #1 in a High Limit Slots Area

One interesting pattern I’d noticed at a relatively medium-sized casino had to do with a simple observation. At this local casino, I saw that I would win once when I first sit down, but not win again for some time.

This pattern recognition is a slots strategy I’ve mentioned before, explicitly Winning Strategy 1: Only Win Immediately and my Professor Slots podcast episode #23.

By using this approach, we can take advantage of a common practice found at many casinos, where they provide an initial winning taste.

The first dozen times I visited the high limit slots area at this small, local casino, I found it odd that I would win a jackpot during the first few pushes of the button. But, then, I would spend thousands of dollars without so much as another hit.

I don’t mean I wouldn’t have another taxable jackpot, but that I wouldn’t win anything whatsoever. It just seemed odd. Or, put another way, it was statistically unlikely to be randomly happening so consistently and often, visit after visit after visit.

As an aside, don’t worry too much about all the money I was spending. Unbeknownst to me at the time, each $100 spent these three months earned one more entry for the drawing of a car – which I would end up winning. I tell that story in:

As a second aside, the money I was spending was significant slots winnings from another local casino where I was consistently making quite a profit using Winning Strategy 7, the topic of my next blog article.

2nd Trick: Combining Winning Strategies #1 and #7

Let’s back to the story of what I learned and how I learned it. At the time, I even struck up a conversation with one of the slot operators. In that helpful interview, I asked them when were people winning jackpots and on which machines were they doing it?

This slot attendant helpfully told me about a slots player who had recently gone from one machine to another winning about eight total jackpots in a row in the high limit slots area.

I found this other slots player’s approach very intriguing, to say the least, and have since tried to employ my Winning Strategy 7 alongside playing each machine up to 5 times. By doing so, I’ve found that my annual return for this strategy alone resulted in a 150% profit over my original bankroll.

However, I’d only been using this strategy for four months since this casino opened, and felt I’d need to continue doing it for about a year to be convinced that it wasn’t either temporary or due to having limited data.

Today, I see this as an error on my part, and probably a severe loss of winnings. Winning slots strategies exist, and you can find them yourself – if you can believe your own eyes.

The area most people get stuck on is this: They don’t believe these strategies are possible, and it’s hard to try it yourself they do when you’ve already convinced yourself it’s impossible.

It doesn’t help that most winning strategies are relatively new, and based on the latest casino technologies that started being installed in new casinos since 2012.

Getting down off my usual soapbox, and back on topic, I have found this combination of winning strategies to be the cheapest approach yet to slot machine gambling, while resulting in the highest profit margin.

Using it at my local casino required only $500 per visit and $250 in return on most visits without a taxable jackpot. But then there are the taxable jackpots won, which are more than a few of the typical jackpot winnings on high limit slot machines.

As I’m sure you understand, a single $4,000 taxable jackpot pays for many subsequent visits.

Again, so far, this is all further storytelling about the experiences which resulted in my discovery of Winning Strategy 1 and how to best use it in conjunction with another winning strategy I knew. But, next, I learned a strategy I didn’t already know.

3rd Trick: If a Slot Machine Shows a Win, BET ONCE

By using these known strategies, yet another approach grew out of them. It’s easy, simple, and quite inexpensive. And, it’s completely counter-intuitive to what most slots players will tell you to do. But, because they feel this way is the reason why it works.

Slots players will tell you it is essential to check the machine’s last play. If it shows a winner then, in general, skip that machine. Don’t play it, is the general advice. I say phooey, but with a small caveat I’ll pull from Winning Strategy 1.

My third trick is this: If a slot machine is showing a win, BET ONCE. However, avoid that machine if it’s been played recently.

For this to work, if it is going to work, a slot machine showing a win needs to be idle for a while, and probably hasn’t been idle if its chair is still pulled out. That the chair is even pulled out is a beautiful clue it was used relatively recently.

Why does this work? At some casinos that set up their slot machines to offer an initial taste, the first push of the button of a high limit slot machine will win either a “small” nontaxable jackpot worth several hundred dollars or a more massive taxable jackpot over $1,200.

For example, I happened to be in the casino one Saturday evening, to take care of some tax paperwork having to do with winning a car the night before, and noticed that one of the $100 high limit slot machines was showing a $1,000 win. I didn’t think much of such a small jackpot, as it was not even taxable, but it was something I noticed.

When I went back to the casino the next morning, I noticed that that same machine had the identical winning reel combination showing on it. To me, this indicated that no one had played that machine for just over one day.

At first, I didn’t think much of it. But then, standing there looking at it, I got to thinking about my strategies. And, standing there thinking it through, I learned something.

Previously, my strategy was not to play any slot machine if it showed a win. But, I started to think, what if I was winning at one push of a button on machines that hadn’t been played for some time? Was this perhaps a refinement of a known strategy?

As usual, theory metaphorically in hand, I decided to test it. I walked over to the $100 machine showing the $1,000 win, placed my player’s card along with $100 in the machine, pressed the bet button, and immediately won a $5,000 taxable jackpot.

To date, this is the only time when I’ve won any taxable jackpot on a $100-denomination slot machine. Although, using this strategy at the same casino, shortly later I did win $500 with a single 1-credit bet on another $100 slot machine.

How Long Does a Slot Machine Need to be Idle?

One loose end with using this strategy is the question of how long does a slot machine need to be idle for it to turn into a winning slot machine via this strategy? The honest and straightforward answer is: I don’t know. But, consider my observations.

I’ve found more slot machines are winners with this strategy if I attend the casino on a Saturday morning (especially after a busy Friday night) or mid-afternoon on Sundays.

That’s because these are typically the most extended times when slot machines aren’t played, and being idle for some time matters. But, how long does it need to be inactive, you ask? I’m still piecing together clues about this.

Another clue comes from Eric Rosenthal, from whom I have second-hand information. He knows someone he trusts from within a slots manufacturer who told him that slot machines reset whenever a voucher is printed.

That’s interesting. If true, it means idle means no time at all. So, that information alone may be enough to tell you how long idle is – but I don’t think so.

Why? Because I’ve seen 30 minutes work when an immediate next player did not. Other times, I’ve seen it work after it’s been idle for hours only. Another area of uncertainty is maybe, more like probably, different casinos are set up differently.

But, I have put some effort into trying to figure this out. After some thought, one week later I went back to the casino and took handwritten notes of all the current spin reels showing on all the high limit slot machines at that casino.

Slightly over a day later, I went back to that casino with the intent of executing the usual strategy but brought extra cash with which to push the button once on any high limit slot machine still showing the same reel spin from the previous day.

Unfortunately, that day was a beautiful day in January with moderately high temperatures not seen in months. Somehow, for this reason, the casino and high limit slot machine room were incredibly busy.

I mention this because, when checking the reel spins on each slot machine, I found that ALL slot machines had been played. I then went ahead playing my usual strategy and, to my slight dismay, I didn’t win a single time despite four immediately prior visits where I made 50-60% over the bankroll I’d brought.

What I learned from this confirmation, such as it was, was that it was the wins I had seen when using my unrefined strategy of 5 pulls then stop was occurring on slot machines which had not been played for a while. That is to say, I had been winning on idle slot machines.

So, during busy periods in the high limit slot room which, by the way, isn’t necessarily the same times when the overall casino itself is active, I learned that I shouldn’t use this strategy. Not then, anyway.

All I can say is, where casinos have set up this winning strategy, winning slot machines need to be idle for a while. This bit of information may not seem like much – but it’s something once considered impossible which evidence now suggests isn’t any longer.

And, being the savvy slots enthusiast I know you are, I expect you’ll make the most out of it.

Play High Limit Slot Machines When Appropriate – Carefully!

So, let’s continue to talk about getting the most out of my winning strategies. The whole point of these specific strategies is that they don’t require much money to try out. Not to be too blunt about it, why wouldn’t you try out inexpensive strategies in the high limit slots area?

I suppose I first noticed this myself at Seminole Brighton Casino in Florida in October 2019 and earlier at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut in April 2018.

Only afterward did I think, while I’m here why don’t I try out the winning strategies I’ve just figured out in the high limit slots area?

Unfortunately, this idea came to me only after I left both places. But, here it is for you. If you have figured out a winning slots strategy that appears to work at a casino, consider trying it in the high limit slots area.

This suggestion is especially valid if the specific slots strategy you’ve found to work outside of the high limit area doesn’t require much bankroll to win. If only a small bankroll is needed, or if you’re willing to risk a larger bankroll if it doesn’t, consider one way to optimize your strategy – by bringing it into the high limit slots area. Carefully, of course.

For those who have read my blog article Seminole Brighton Casino Florida Trip Report, these follow up thoughts for using a working strategy on high limit slots should work quite well there.

However, for those who have read my blog article Easily Win a Little at Slots at Foxwoods Casino Connecticut, I’d caution against this approach there.

As Dr. Mike from the You Can Bet on That podcast very well knows (I was sitting near him at the time), you can win a couple of hundred dollars on a high limit slot machine there within the first few bets.

But, the problem is, you can do the same thing on a low limit slot machines. So, use the winning strategy I described outside of the high limit area to bet less for corresponding winnings. Your profit will be more substantial.

Summary of High Roller Slots Tricks

In review, I’ve pointed out the easy application of two past winning slots strategies, along with a new winning strategy, which would require only a few bets on a high limit slot machine.

From a high level, the three easy high roller slots tricks I’ve outlined are merely pointing out that the winning strategies you worked hard to uncover at the casino you frequent can be leveraged, perhaps even optimized, in the high limit slots area with relatively little risk.

Because, finding that a winning strategy which works is a huge accomplishment, for which you should be proud to have uncovered. But, don’t stop with finding it, even if it was with my help. Your next step is, as always, to work closer to accomplishing your gambling goals.

If your gambling goal is entertainment, as with more slots enthusiasts, then getting a W-2G for having won a taxable jackpot would be exciting. I know my first W-2G was very exciting and, quite honestly, you never really get tired of winning them.

If your gambling goal is earning comps, then you’ll undoubtedly earn players clubs point by making bets on high limit slot machines. But, more importantly, some or all of winnings received in the high limit slots area can be spent on low limit slots.

Finally, is winning take-home money your gambling goal? Well, you’ll earn that money with little cash spent. If, as always, the casino you’re at has been set up by their operator such that one or more of these approaches will work.
