MANUAL SPIN OR AUTO SPIN

MANUAL SPIN OR AUTO SPIN

Online slot players will all have a personal preference of whether they like to use a manual spin when playing a slot or if they want to set up the auto spin and sit back and relax. Our article will break it all down for you so you can decide which of these two styles suits how you like to play. So will it be auto-play or manual play? Let's read on and find out more.


  • What is a manual spin on an online slot?

A manual spin on an online slot is where a player has decided how many paylines they would like to play and at what cost per line. The total stake has been calculated, and by clicking on the spin button for each game that is played, the manual spin option has been decided and used by the player.

  • What is an auto spin on an online slot?

The auto spin option on an online slot is used when a player opens the settings for the particular game they are playing, chooses a set amount of spins to play, and presses the spin button to begin the cycle of selected spins.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MANUAL SPINS WHEN PLAYING ONLINE SLOTS?

It could be argued that choosing to spin manually when playing an online slot offers a more personal experience and increases the entertainment you receive for your money. Manual spinning also gives players the option to speed up the process of the game by counting any wins that have been accumulated; some slots can seem to take forever, even counting up a very small win, and by pressing the spin button manually on the slot, the amount will be added to your bank, and the reels will spin again. Unfortunately, this option is unavailable on autoplay, and you must wait for the win to count up. 

Manual spinning can also offer players the option of quick spinning, although not all slot developers add this feature to their games. The quick spin is where you press the spin button manually to initiate the spin, and then you press it again quickly after, and the reels will stop to end that particular game. This feature tends to be used by experienced hardcore players that want to trigger the bonus rounds on slots as quickly as possible.

Due to changing regulations within the gambling industry, the quick spin option is no longer available in some jurisdictions when playing for real money. However, where possible, we have made sure that all of our demo slots feature this option so those visitors who wish to use it can if they would like to.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AUTO SPINS WHEN PLAYING ONLINE SLOTS?

Using auto spin when playing an online slot gives players options that a manual spin can't offer. One such feature is that of choosing a loss limit; this is where you can select the maximum amount of money that you will lose during your selected auto spins; this can be very useful so that you don't get carried away playing one slot and lose more money than you had anticipated.

The single win limit, where available, is an excellent tool to use when playing with an auto play; this will stop the auto spins dead if you win the selected amount or above and will give you the chance and time to re-evaluate your play and decide whether or not it's time to move on to a different game.

Although somewhat obvious, the main benefit to an auto spin is that you don't have to sit there and continually press a button on your desktop or mobile device; you can simply set the slot for a number of spins you are comfortable with and sit back and enjoy the action. 


manual spin vs auto spin what do we think?

Our decision on which spin technique we will use often depends on the style of slot we are playing. If, for example, we are playing Holy Diver Megaways from BTG, we would set up an autoplay, as this game requires you to build up to a feature rather than having the chance to hit a bonus on any random spin. On the other hand, for a slot such as Dead or Alive, we would opt for a manual spin and maybe use the quick spin option to speed the game reels up a little bit. 

Ultimately it will all come down to what type of slot player you are and what you feel comfortable playing at. So our advice would be to check out as many free play slots as possible that we offer, find a style and technique that you are happy with, and learn as much about the games as possible.


FAQS

Do all online slots feature a quick spin?

Whilst most slot developers integrate a quick spin option into their slots, others believe it takes away the player experience. So, it will all be dependent on the game provider you are using. 

Can I set up auto spins on my mobile phone?

Auto spins can be set up and played across all desktop, tablet, and mobile devices as long as they are available in your jurisdiction. 

Am I able to use Autoplay in the UK?

Autoplay was recently removed in a 2022 regulation shake-up by the UKGC.
