When it comes to slot machines, I always choose the most profitable ones and they are not always among the most popular ones.
So I always read the "info" page of each game to help me select which one to play.
I always choose those with higher RTP, lowest minimum bet amount, number of pay lines...
Sometimes, I just pick them randomly or because of their catchy name/design.
I do always go for low minimum bet with having many winning lines even though it isnt really that big but its enjoyable if you do
saw that you can win up everytime you do press that roll button.I also agree on what you have said that playing certain slots
will really depend on the theme which do catches my attention specially with the design/icons etc.
With all the slots that are currently in the market, you would able to see lots of them in different variants but actually
they are all just the same and become bored when i do play for a short period of time.
When you do play slots for some time you will able to determine which providers do give out high variance and low variance.
