Auto Play is a feature that can be used on many slot games and selected other casino games. It is an option where a customer can set their stake per spin, then set a number of spins and allow those spins to be completed automatically. This means that the customer does not have to hit the spin button to start a spin. The feature is most commonly used on slot games.

How do I use Auto Play on a slot?

It is very easy to use the Auto Play feature on a slot game. Many slot games will have a button which you can click which will take you to the Auto Play menu. On others, the Auto Play feature may be found in the section which lists the information about the slot.

Once you have found the Auto Play feature select the number of spins you want to play using Auto Play and select the stake you wish to bet per spin for each of the Auto Play spins. Once set up, you just click the button to start the Auto Play feature

Can I set any parameters when using Auto Play?

Yes, there are two main parameters you can set when using the Auto Play feature. These are: -

Number of Auto Play spins to be played.
The cost per spin for each Auto Play spin.

It is prudent to ensure that your balance has enough funds to cover the amount of money you would spend if the Auto Play feature was to run for the full amount of spins selected. For example, if you selected 100 Auto Play spins at £0.50 per spin, then you would need a balance of £50 or greater in your account in order to cover all the stakes you would need for each Auto Play spin.

This does not including any winnings you may land during Auto Play but as the amount won may vary considerably, it is still sensible to ensure you have enough funds for your Auto Play session.

What happens if I run out of funds using Auto Play?

If your balance reaches an amount that is less than the amount required for the next Auto Play spin, then the Auto Play session will automatically end. You will also receive a message along the lines of “insufficient funds in account”.

Auto Play will never take your account into a debit balance and will always stop if you no longer have the funds available to continue to use it.

When is a good time to use Auto Play?

Many slot gamers still enjoy the feeling of control they have when clicking on a button to start an online slot. However, sometimes it is impractical or difficult to do so. This is where Auto Play is a positive for gamers. For example, if you are midway through a session and you receive a telephone call that requires your attention, or somebody rings the doorbell, you can set the Auto Play feature running to continue with your spins while you attend to other things.

Another good time to use Auto Play is when you have received a number of Free Spins as a bonus, or through some other promotion. Sometimes the number of Free Spins you receive may be a small number, but other times, it can be considerable. For these larger number of bonus spins, Auto Play is a real benefit, allowing you to play those Free Spins with no risk to your balance.

Auto Play is also great to use when you are playing a base game in a slot with the hope of triggering a bonus game. Using Auto Play here means you can let the feature control your base game play, then it will stop to allow you to play through the bonus game or Free Spins feature.

Are there any benefits of using Auto Play compared to playing each spin individually?

Firstly, it is important to point out that there is no difference between an Auto Play spin and a manually clicked spin. Both types of spin have the same chance of triggering a win. This is important as some people suggest, erroneously, that Auto Play spins are less likely to win as the slot ‘knows’ you are going to spend the amount of money required to cover the Auto Play spins anyway. This is a gamblers fallacy. There is no benefit, or hindrance, to using Auto Play over manual spins in terms of winning.

Where Auto Play can have a tangible benefit is in the amount of time it takes to complete the spins. Auto Play tends to be quicker than playing each spin manually. Also by using Auto Play it is much easier to budget for your spins as you know in advance how much you are going to spend in that session. When playing manually, it is very easy to spend more than you planned to as you are not keeping track of how many spins you have had.

What happens if I trigger a bonus feature or game when using Auto Play?

If a customer uses Auto Play to play a slot game and on one of those spins, one of the main bonus features of the slot is triggered, such as a bonus game or Free Spins, then the Auto Play feature will stop. The customer will then be able to play through their Free Spins or the bonus game.

Once the bonus game or free spins are completed, the Auto Play feature will restart on the base game at the number of spins it had completed when the bonus feature triggered. So, for example, if you triggered a bonus feature on a slot after 77 spins out of the 100 you set up in Auto Play, after the bonus feature is completed, Auto Play would restart with the 78th spin.

What happens to any winnings when using Auto Play?

Any base game winnings you win when using the Auto Play feature are automatically added to your balance. Auto Play is a very useful feature on slot games, which you can use when you like and which you can stop at any point when it is playing through the number of spins you initially set up. It is especially useful for those who are keen to control their spending on slot games, or those that don’t have much time to play.
