In the latest video, when The Bandit is on Book of Dead, he mentions how someone said to him they reckon it’s more likely to bring in the bonus if you only play one line.

I’ve lost track of how many slot theories like this I’ve heard. Most people are pretty sensible in not buying in to them, but for anyone who’s ever tempted to believe these things, consider this a PSA:

If your theory takes the form of “When playing {slot} if I {blank} the game is more likely to {blank}”, it is utter bollocks. You cannot influence the odds of a slot game. Changing your stake, changing number of lines, clicking faster, clicking certain places, changing the bet level or coins, none of it makes any difference to anything.

firstly playing one line rather than ten means you have 10 times the number of spins per stake per line.  eg 10 lines at £1 x10 spins = £10, each line is 10p so if you still do 10p a line and pick one line only you have 100 spins @10p = £10. this is not a theory this is a fact. you can pay for 10 lines at 10p stake and have 10 spins@£1 a spin  total cost is £10 or you can have 1 line @10p and have 10x those spins (100 in total) so yes you have a better chance of hitting a bonus.  remember you are playing towards a bonus in the most spins and at the cheapest cost. so not really rocket science is it…………….

I think you are missing the OPs point – yes the bonus will come in if you are playing at 1/10th of your stake, but that is due to volume rather than the increased chances of getting a bonus due to the one line option.

At the end of the day however, all of these theories, game plans, strategies, as argyle states, are just total bollocks.  The slots are totally random.  This one line theory is right up there with the martiindale system on roulette or the belief that a number on live roulette is “due” because it hasn’t come in for a while

The casino’s actually play to this by listing “cold numbers” on a totally random game to convince the suckers, I mean players, that they are getting an edge.  0 is no more likely to come in after a 100 spins than it is after 2, neither is 9 not going to come in for a while purely because it has come in twice.

Bottom line, read all the strategies you want, buy the books from those bullshit artists on you tube entitled “how to win at slots” and at the end of the day the casino’s will still win.

and i think you are missing the point the “op” only mentioned bonus in slots in his first post — and not roulett numbers —- they are both different and cannot be compared, no matter what those odds are. if a slot has a bonus as mentioned “book of dead” you have a better chance to hit a bonus playing one line per stake as you can spend more money on spins using 10 lines. so if a bonus is going to happpen in 125 spins you have saved money by only using one line.  also its not called a theory its called a stragtegy.

Yes and all you’re doing in terms of odds and wins is making it like you’re playing 10 lines at 1p per line, i.e. 10p per spin. There is no advantage (or disadvantage) to you as the player staking 10p on a game such as Book of Dead at 1p per line versus staking 10p per line on 1 line only.

All you’re saying is lowering your bet makes your budget go further and give you more spins. Yes, obviously it does. What it doesn’t do is make the bonus more likely to land in any given run of e.g. 100 spins.

Argyl and babyface are spot on here.

To your point, Nostromo, you only increase your chance of a bonus within £x and not x spins. And even then that’s only if you keep the stake per line the same as when you play one line or ten lines. But you could make that point about anything, just reduce your stake to 1p per line if your goal is achieving a bonus within a set budget. It’s certainly not a strategy as it has absolutely zero impact on your overall RTP. It may just mean on that particular session that you hit a few bonuses opposed to zero if you’re on a higher stake and bust sooner.
