Payout Hierarchy Selection
Your wager selection will be influenced by the payout hierarchy. This is the part on the machines which shows the graduated scale of payments, and bonuses offered. This information is usually found under the “pays” menu icon on video reel slots, and on the belly glass of reel slots. It tells you what amounts the game pays, how and when, and with what combinations. Further, it shows you whether this is a “doubler” or a “buy-a-pay” machine or game.
Some of these machines and games may look the same but have a different payout hierarchy. This we have already discussed. Don’t forget to look at this payout hierarchy and make sure that you understand what it means and how it will affect your bankroll, your play and session investment, and your win expectation. You acquire this understanding by combining all of the information shown here and applying it to your overall machine or game selection.
