## Summary

The video explains why players often fail to hit handpays at casinos, attributing it primarily to insufficient betting relative to their bankroll. The creator demonstrates this principle through gameplay on various slot machines, emphasizing the importance of bet size and game volatility.

### Key Points

- **Betting Too Low** [00:34] — The biggest mistake is not betting enough. Bets must be relative to bankroll for success; low bets like $1 or $2 rarely yield jackpots.
- **Example: Double Gold** [01:02] — On a $2 bet, typical hits are 40 credits (triple bars) or 180 credits (Double Diamond). A handpay requires the top line hit of $5,000, which is rare at low bets.
- **Higher Denomination Comparison** [01:46] — At $5 denomination (max bet $10), the same middle hit pays $400, and with a double, $800. A triple seven with a double pays $1,000, making handpays more achievable.
- **Volatility Matters** [02:28] — High-volatility games like Dragon Link offer better handpay chances even at lower bets ($2.50-$5) because wins are less frequent but larger. Low-volatility slots require higher bets for similar chances.
- **Recommended Bet Size** [04:06] — A $5 bet is a comfortable sweet spot, as it can easily produce $1,000 line hits, which are better than handpays because they avoid taxes.
- **Bankroll Management** [05:20] — The creator uses a $10 bet on Mystical Mermaid, dropping to $5 if the bankroll falls to $2.50, maintaining a 1-2% risk per spin to sustain play.
- **Demonstration of Success** [14:22] — A massive bonus round on Mystical Mermaid yields 67,000 credits ($6,700) from a $10 bet, illustrating the payoff of betting in relation to bankroll.
- **Final Advice** [26:14] — To win handpays, increase bets from $0.50-$2 to higher amounts; the creator guarantees handpays will come with this adjustment.

### Conclusion

The key to hitting handpays is betting more relative to your bankroll, ideally around $5 per spin, and choosing games with appropriate volatility. This approach increases the frequency and size of wins, making handpays more likely.

## Transcript

One of the biggest questions I get asked is why haven't I hit a handpay? I've been coming to the casino for years. I've spent thousands of dollars and I've never hit a handpay. Well, today I'm going to let you know
why exactly you aren't hitting handpays. So, let's get at it. So, let's get at it. >> [music]
people make when they come to the casino is you're not betting enough. I know, it's absolutely scary, right? You don't want to lose your money, but your [music] bet needs to be relative to your bankroll for you to be successful.
I've heard people say I've lost thousands and thousands of dollars. they're betting $1, they're betting $2, and they're surprised they haven't won a jackpot. So, let's take a look here. Double Gold. [music] Much like any other
traditional three-reel slot, the average middle-of-the-road hit is going to be 40 credits if you're betting two. That's triple bars on double diamonds. This is what you're going to get relatively often, and a lot of times you'll get it
Diamond for instance, you'll get the Double Diamond and triple bars, >> right? 180 credits. Now, at a dollar, that's $180. For you to get a handpay, you would have to land the top line hit. In here is
to land the top line hit. In here is $5,000. [music] percentage. Now, let's go take a look at a $5 denomination and we're going to compare. All right, y'all. So, we're here at the
Double Gold $5 denomination. So, max bet is $10. That same middle-of-the-road is $10. That same middle-of-the-road hit, you can see here is now $400.
you can probably land it with a double, which makes it $800. Now, all you have to get is that triple seven with a double, just the triple seven and you've got yourself a $1,000.
The higher you bet, the more likely you are to get a handpay. Now, I'm not saying you have to bet ridiculous amounts of money. You don't. $5 denomination, that's when you're really looking at it. And, depending on what
volatility, the less you have to bet. And we'll talk about that here in a second. Okay, y'all. Let's talk about a higher Dragon Link. Now, these are actually some of my favorite higher in volatility
games because they are much more consistent and a lot better at paying >> [music] >> But on this game, at 10 cents at $5, your chances of hitting a handpay are significantly higher
than, let's say, a normal three-reel slot. Why? Because of the volatility. Not only could you land that $1,000 major, but in a game like this, you have just the nature of higher in volatility.
less wins, but when you do get them, they're going to be massive. So, you can bet a little bit less. You can probably bet $2.50, $3, $5, and get closer to old-school slots. That's the trade-off,
right? More consistency on the old school, better chances, but here you >> And that's what a lot of people are wishing for. They'll come in with $300, and hope for hitting a handpay at 50 [music] cents or a dollar.
Can it happen? Yes, it absolutely can. People hit the grand at a dollar, or they hit those majors at a dollar. And it does happen, but those are the And it does happen, but those are the very very very rare rare occasions. So,
I'm telling you, if you want to get consistent handpays, you need to bet And it doesn't need to be a crazy amount. $5, that's a good point. That's kind of my comfortable because it is very easy to get a $1,000 line hit on a
$5 bet, which for me is better than a handpay because you're not paying any Okay, y'all. So, now you know [music] the big issue. You need to start betting more. Now, you don't have to bet crazy amounts. Like I said, $5 is about that
handpays. Now, I'm going to start with a normal reasonable budget, and we're going to go to a kind of middle-of-the-road cuz I get it. A lot of casinos don't have lower in volatility slots, and a lot of
volatility slots. That's why we're playing on a Game King. These Game Kings playing on a Game King. These Game Kings have a lot of the classic IGTs. So, Wolf Run, Kitty Glitter, Cleopatra, Cleopatra II, and in this [music] case, Mystical
Mermaid. Now, Mystical Mermaid has been around for a very long time, and the bonus can be incredible if you land it. Now, are you going to win a huge major grand like you might on, let's say, Dragon Link or Phoenix Link? No, but you
can absolutely hit a handpay on this game. So, let's get at it, and let's see hopefully, fingers crossed, get a handpay.
Let's go ahead and play this $10. All right, so you can see, 20 lines, we're starting at $10. And if we get down to $2.50, we're going to drop our bet down to $5. That's going to keep us in that 1% to 2%
and by sticking to that, we're going to ensure that the line hits that we get, the bonuses that we get, are going to be enough to really double our bets. Mermaid is that
you'll get good line hits, but they're going to be a lot less but they're going to be a lot less frequent. But we're doing pretty good. Than maybe on something like [music] Dragon Link or Lightning Link.
volatility game, but it's not because the line hits, the >> [music] >> tend to be >> tend to be much bigger.
>> All right. >> [laughter] [music] >> It's not doing so good. All right, scatters. 20 bucks.
