You can often perform several hundred spins per hour, which is a blazing slots play rate.<\/p>\n<p>Contrast this to how slow many other games play, with most featuring just 100 rounds in an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The pace at which you play casino games has a big effect on your losses per hour. You can see below just exactly how much of effect it has.<\/p>\n<p><H2>Slots Play Rate vs. Other Games<\/H2><\/p>\n<p>Below you can see examples of different casino games and how they compare in terms of speed. Each of these examples are based on land-based games:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Slot machines<\/li>\n<p> &#8211; 500-600 rounds per hour.<\/p>\n<li>Blackjack<\/li>\n<p> &#8211; 60-100 hands per hour.<\/p>\n<li>Mini baccarat<\/li>\n<p> &#8211; 100-200 hands per hour.<\/p>\n<li>Roulette<\/li>\n<p> &#8211; 50-60 spins an hour.<\/p>\n<li>Craps<\/li>\n<p> &#8211; 20-30 rounds (not rolls) an hour.\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can see that mini baccarat is the next closest regarding rounds per hour. But not even baccarat comes close to the speed of slot machines.<\/p>\n<p>Slots give you nonstop action, which is part of what makes them entertaining. You also have to be careful, though, because this quick speed can make them costly.<\/p>\n<p><H2>How the Quick Slots Play Rate Leads to Bigger Losses<\/H2><\/p>\n<p>Slot machines generally have some of the highest house edges in gaming. They can already be expensive due to this fact alone.<\/p>\n<p>Slots only become more costly when you add in the fast playing speed. Let&#8217;s say that you play a game with a 5% house edge for 500 spins an hour.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also assume that you bet $1 per spin. Doing the math (1 x 500 x 0.05), you&#8217;d theoretically lose $25 per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s consider the same example with baccarat, which has a 1.06% house edge. The math here (1 x 200 x 0.0106) shows that you&#8217;d only lose $2.12 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t mean to turn you off of playing slot machines, because they can certainly be entertaining games. On the same token, though, you don&#8217;t want to get lost in the quick playing rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slot machines play faster than any other game in the casino.
