The history of online slots in Ireland

Twenty years ago, Irish players could never have imagined being able to spin the reels from home. It all started with underground clubs and halls containing bulky machines. Then, in the mid-2000s, a quiet revolution took place when high-speed internet arrived and with it, the first online casinos. Initially, these were basic slots with simple graphics, but most importantly, they offered incredible freedom. You could play at any time without having to think about travelling into town. Over time, the slots became more complex, with the addition of storylines, bonus rounds and progressive jackpots that could make you a millionaire in a single spin. Today, Ireland is one of the most active markets in Europe, and slots such as Book of Dead and Gonzo's Quest have become as much of a classic here as a good pub.

Tips for players

Whether you're just starting out or are already an experienced player, a few simple tips can help you enjoy the game more and experience less stress. First and foremost, always remember that this is entertainment, not work. Don't rely on it as a source of steady income, as this will only lead to disappointment. Secondly, don't chase big wins from the outset. Start with small bets, learn the game's mechanics, and familiarise yourself with it. Thirdly, take breaks. If luck isn't on your side today, it's better to stop playing and come back to it another time with a clear head. Lastly, only choose licensed casinos where your funds and rights are protected. Reliability is more important than short-term profit in this case.

How to choose a slot with the best return (RTP):

RTP (return to player) is perhaps the most important digital indicator. Put simply, an RTP of 96% means that, theoretically, for every £100 wagered on this slot, £96 is returned to players in winnings and the casino makes a profit of £4. The key word here is 'theoretically'. In practice, you could either hit the jackpot or win nothing in a single gaming session. However, if you want to maximise your chances in the long term, look for slots with an RTP above 96%. This information can usually be found in the game rules or on the information pages. NetEnt's Mega Joker, for example, is famous for its 99% RTP, while the provider's Blood Suckers has an RTP of 98%.

The importance of volatility and bet sizes

Volatility determines the nature of a slot. Imagine two people: one is calm and reliable, paying you little by little but consistently. The other is an unpredictable adventurer who may not give you anything for years, but could then shower you with gold. Low-volatility slots are the former. Winnings are frequent but small. They are ideal for beginners and those who want to extend their playing time. High-volatility slots are the second type. Here, you may not see any winnings for a long time, but when they do come, they are often substantial. These are best suited to those with patience and a sufficient bankroll.

The size of the bet directly affects volatility. With high-volatility slots, it is better to bet less to survive long periods without winning. With low-volatility slots, slightly higher bets are possible. The main rule is that your budget for a single gaming session should be such that losing it will not inconvenience you.

Responsible gaming and player limits

This is probably the most important section. Gambling should remain an enjoyable pastime — not a problem. At VivatBet, we take our players' safety seriously. That is why we have developed a range of self-control tools. For example, you can set a deposit limit of no more than €100 per day or €500 per month. Once this limit has been reached, you will not be able to top up your account until the end of the selected period. You can also set loss and time limits to prevent the game from dragging on.

If you feel that gaming is no longer entertaining and is starting to affect your life, it is important to stop in time. On our website, you can take a time-out for several days or even weeks, or exclude yourself completely for a long period. Remember: play for fun, not for money. Your well-being is what really matters.
