1777 basel Slots — A Complete Guide to Choosing the Best Slot Games
From classic three-reel slots to the Megaways engine and jackpot slots — 1777 basel has a large collection of slots. This guide explains how the different types of slots work, how to choose a game that suits your budget and preferences, and some practical tips from experienced players.
Four Types of Slot Games and Their Differences
When people hear "slot", many think of just pulling a lever and watching reels spin. But modern slot games are far more varied. Understanding the four main types makes it much easier to find a game you enjoy.
Classic Slots
3 reels, typically 1–5 paylines. Simple gameplay with fewer bonus features. A good starting point for beginners.
SimpleVideo Slots
5+ reels, animations, free spins and multipliers. Most games from PG Soft, Pragmatic Play and JILI fall into this category.
PopularMegaways Slots
Big Time Gaming's patented engine — reel height changes on every spin, so the number of winning ways can reach up to 117,649.
High VolatilityJackpot Slots
Fixed or progressive jackpots — a big prize from a single spin. JILI's Jackpot Joker and Jackpot Fishing fall into this category.

How Bonus Features Work in Video Slots
Modern video slots offer more than just matching symbols. Free spin rounds, cascading reels, symbol multipliers and buy-bonus features are what make each game distinct. For example, in PG Soft's Fortune Tiger, the tiger symbol carries a special multiplier on every free spin, while in Pragmatic Play's Gates of Olympus, the tumble mechanic removes winning symbols and drops new ones in their place.
The frequency of bonus features and their potential payout determine the overall experience of a slot. Low-frequency bonuses generally offer larger rewards, but require patience. That is why understanding the bonus mechanics before playing a game matters.

Megaways — Chances to Win in Hundreds of Thousands of Ways
The Megaways engine was introduced by Big Time Gaming in 2016. On each spin, the height of every reel changes randomly between 2 and 7 symbols, so the number of possible winning ways is different on every spin — up to a maximum of 117,649. Bonanza Megaways (max RTP 96%) and Extra Chilli Megaways (max RTP 96.82%) are two popular examples of this engine.
Megaways games typically include a cascade or tumble feature — after a win, the winning symbols are removed and new symbols fall from above, which can create multiple wins within the same spin. These games are high volatility, so it is important to set a budget before starting a long session.
RTP Comparison of Popular Slots
RTP (Return to Player) is a numerical expression of how much money is returned on average per ৳100 wagered over the long term. It is not a guaranteed result for any single session — it is an average across millions of spins. The table below shows the RTP of selected games.
| Game Name | Developer | Max RTP | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fortune Mouse | PG Soft | 96.96% | Video Slots |
| Mahjong Ways 2 | PG Soft | 96.95% | Video Slots |
| Mahjong Ways | PG Soft | 96.92% | Video Slots |
| Extra Chilli Megaways | Big Time Gaming | 96.82% | Megaways |
| Fortune Tiger | PG Soft | 96.81% | Video Slots |
| Super Ace | JILI | 97% | Video Slots |
| Jackpot Joker | JILI | 97.23% | Jackpot Slots |
| Gates of Olympus | Pragmatic Play | 96.50% | Video Slots |
| Bonanza Megaways | Big Time Gaming | 96% | Megaways |
| Wanted Dead or a Wild | Hacksaw Gaming | 96.38% | Video Slots |
RTP figures apply to specific game configurations and actual results may vary.
Choosing the Right Slot for You
No slot is universally "the best" — the best one is the one that fits your budget, patience and preferences. Keeping three key points in mind makes the decision easier.
Volatility
Low-volatility games pay small prizes frequently — your budget lasts longer. High-volatility games pay larger prizes but less often. Beginners should start with low-to-mid volatility.
Theme and Mechanics
Mythology, fruit, mahjong, western — theme is a matter of personal taste. But mechanics (Megaways, cascade, multiplier) affect your chances of winning. Alongside choosing a theme you like, take the time to read about the mechanics too.
Budget Planning
Decide in advance how much you will set aside for a session. Keep the size of each spin's bet to no more than 1–2% of your session budget — this gives you more time at the table.
PG Soft's symbolic slot series
Beyond PG Soft's Fortune series, Ganesha Gold and Ganesha Fortune are well known among Bangladeshi players — these slots are built around the theme of Ganesha as a symbol of prosperity and include special multiplier features. A detailed guide to the Ganesha Fortune slot is available on that page.
Practical Tips from Experienced Players
- 01 Try demo mode first. Before playing a new game with real money, use demo mode to understand the mechanics. Knowing how long free spins take to appear and how multipliers work makes it easier to make decisions in real play.
- 02 RTP vs. volatility. Looking at RTP alone is not enough — a high-volatility game with 97% RTP can run through a small budget quickly because wins are irregular. A low-volatility game with 96.5% RTP may last much longer.
- 03 Set session limits. Decide in advance how much you are willing to win or lose before you stop. Read the responsible gaming guidelines for guidance on playing responsibly.
- 04 Understand bonus wagering. When playing slots with a bonus balance, keep in mind that winnings cannot be withdrawn until the wagering requirement is met. The 1777 basel VIP cashback program offers additional benefits for regular players.
- 05 Choose your bet size wisely. A maximum bet may be required for the largest jackpots — but if the budget does not allow for that, a mid-range bet can still produce good payouts.
Common Misconceptions About Slots
Many people hold beliefs about slots that have no basis in fact. Recognising these can help you avoid irrational decisions.
"If I haven't won in a long time, a big win must be coming soon"
Every spin is determined independently by the RNG (Random Number Generator). The result of a previous spin has no effect on the next one — this is mathematically proven.
"Increasing your bet raises the chance of triggering free spins"
Bet size affects the value of prizes, but the probability of triggering a bonus feature does not depend on bet size.
"New accounts get paid out more"
Licensed software does not adjust payouts based on the age or history of an account. RNG-based results are completely neutral.
"Playing at night or early morning increases your chances of winning"
The server time or the time of day does not change the RTP or the probability of winning. Slot results are independent of time.
Beyond Slots — Video Poker as an Alternative
Alongside slots, another popular section at 1777 basel is video poker. Jacks or Better is the most widely recognised form of video poker — here, holding cards with the right strategy can result in a higher RTP compared to slots.
