I want to say thank you for this recommendation list. I walked into Rio today looking for one of these slot machines. I found one of them mentioned, put in $200, and then ended up winning just shy of $6,000.
I’m so glad Twin Win made your list! That is my go to when I’m down to my last $20. I consistently win on it. Last time I put $20 in I walked away with $200!
Thanks for the advice on the games so I went to Hollywood hard rock and I started on double top dollar with a max bet of three dollars and I hit the jackpot which paid out $2400. After that, I went over to the flaming hot pots and I ended up getting another thousand dollars so I pocketed the $2400 and just played with the thousand that I had made purely house money and walked out with a good portion of it, plus my $2400! The videos really help thank you!!
Love your channel!! I’m a slot tech as well and the information you deliver is 100% accurate and on point. I just subscribed 2 weeks ago and have been looking at your catalog of videos on your channel. I have yet to find one that’s holding back information or making a slot sound better than they are. Also your advice on how to play and how much you should play is spot on. Your advice and honesty is a refreshing. Thank you for being completely honest with your subscribers. Best of luck to you and everyone reading and subscribed to your channel.
For most big progressives is it determined by you getting the bonus when the progressive is at a certain number? I've got the major like 3x on cash crop and only played it like 25 times...that grand never seems to come!
Have been watching since nearly the beginning of Brantley's channel and I have maintained same impression. We slot players are so fortunate that he started (and continues producing outstanding content for) this channel. I've recommended Cowboy Slots to several of my slot-playing friends, and am fully confident that the things I learn here not only make me a much smarter slot player, but also allow me to have more fun during every casino visit.
This was a great list brother. I recently quit playing 20 line reels exclusively and played Dancing Drums Prosperity for about 6 weeks straight. I kept track of every bonus and 2 notes, 1. I have achieved more bonuses in 6 weeks on Prosperity than I regularly on (I heart free games, triple big wheel, Triple double diamonds free games). 2. Betting 88 cents for the 6 weeks, My avg bonus was much more than any of the 20 lines games even when betting $2.00 on the 20 lines. Avg of 30+ bonuses was $55.00 (mainly because of 5 very nice bonuses that really inflated this number) but i rately ever hit a 10X bonus which is incredibly common on 20 lines.
For me, everytime i 👍 a video, youtube starts suggesting every kind of video similar to what I 👍 'd. And normally I don't like any of the suggestions lol. So I try to keep my youtube suggested videos free and random instead of so pinholed and curated only based on liked videos. Hard to explain I guess but hope it makes sense. But this guy is good so I'll give it a like 👍 here lol...I think comments are helpful for channels too
Because I don't like or subscribe to any video or channel. If this goes away, something else will pop up. If RUclips goes away, other forms of entertainment will appear. *shrug*
*Two* of my *Favorite* *Games* are *Flaming* *Hot* *Pots* *AND* *Thunder* *Drums!* unfortunately the *Line* *Pays* on *BOTH* are *not* *great* and *FHP* can be *pricey* for *Low* *Gamblers,* but a *Helluva* *Bonus!* *LOVE* *Hearing* "Order Up! *I* *Hope* *You* *Hunnggyyyyy!!!* thanks for all the *valuable* *info!*
It is a great question as to whether or not a game needs a bonus and I would say absolutely with the caveat it has to pay out really well the vast majority of the time. I have gotten completely sick and tired of landing bonuses that pay less than what a normal decent line hit would pay. Personally I would get bored even if I was getting decent hits if there wasn't a bonus I could get into that was almost a sure thing to pay out pretty well.
The Thunder drum game is cool but people only want the green drum obv because you do get that golden drum. It’s like mo mummy, people only want the cash collect feature. Fun games but I tend not to play games where I only want one of the bonuses! Thanks for the videos Brantley!!
I liked hotpot’s when it first came out but the absolute 0 line pays has had me avoid it recently. Dynamite pop recently came to my local casino and it’s my new favorite. Normal spins have potential for 2x and 3x wilds plus the bonus rounds are fun
I always play Big hot flaming pots at my local casino. It's such a fun game, and it can be a budget builder. My wife won a $2700 major with a $1 bet on Tunder drums. Thank you! for your best and worst games videos. 🤠
Thanks for all the tips and information you give. I'm definitely a low roller so any tips on making my budget last longer is great! Ill try some of these games soon! 🙂
I loved the Ghostbusters machine. Only saw it once in the Bellagio. Used to enjoy the Nascar machine (they have vanished now) and the really old Texas Tea machines. Found one of them on my last Vegas trip.
Thank you for another great video! I will try these out for sure! I saw a video on RUclips from 2 years ago with Ying Cai Shen and it was supposedly filmed at the Belagio in Las Vegas. I'd like to know if it's still there!
Haven't gotten into Flaming Pots, tired of the three bag games anyway. Did pretty good on Thunder Drums at first but now it just is lots of dead spins. Interesting you included Lantern Rise because it's been out for two years and gone locally. Twin Win the original is very hard to find anymore, be fun to see a new version. And your top pick IGT game, I've never heard of😊. As to your bonus question I've done very well on games that don't have a bonus round 👍
Thanks for featuring these Best Slots of 2024. I have been playing 5 Dragons Slots by Aristocrat whether the Classic, Deluxe, Gold, Rapid but not playing the other versions with the likes of Ultra, Red and Yellow Edition, Grand and other newer versions of it. Hope you can make a review of this game in the future because this game is really popular in Asia. Been playing other slots like Fat Fortunes and others.
Hot Pots is my fav, play it constantly. Thunder Drums and Mo' Mummy are my other 2 favs. I was not surprised to see Hot Pots and Thunder Drums on your list here....I do fairly well on those. The most hand pays that I've gotten were on Hot Pots. Thanks for your videos Brantley!
Dragon Link and the newer Phoenix Link is the top slot machine by a mile, great progressives, free game feature, hold n spin feature, and the graphics/sound
I also love twin win i won couple 12 buck hits on 75c then a 20 buck hit on and a 50 buck hit on 1.50 bet then a 73 buck hit on 4.50 bet i love this game so glad my casino got it in
I got to where I gave up on Lantern Rising . I’m conditioned to getting a large payout when hitting a bonus on higher bets. So cashing out on this game after nice line hits would have probably served me better
I play twin win often. Last time i played it, i moved my bet amount every few spins, .and hit for over a hundred dollars. I started with $10. Cashed out and played with the comp money
I do like games with bonuses and unique features. On this list I've only played Hot Pots and the bonus is fun and rewarding. I found it odd that Grand Legends was on the worst list because, while the bonus is more volatile, I've had some huge wins on it that made Hot Pots look small. I always watch and enjoy your gameplay sessions.
thanks for a great video, excellent reviews! I personally don't need a bonus round. I just want to make my budget last since I don't get to the casino all that often.
Hey cowboy slots! I go to Bally’s twin river in Lincoln Rhode Island and they have 20+ of your top rated slot, it may be a bit a of drive lol but they’re packed in that casino
I may have seen # 1 locally and just contacted them to verify hoping they call back doing a Cruise may hope to see it I do love many IGT games. Number 5 pick pot theme looks fun and time management slow down if lucky to Bonus will give it a try thanks to the review hoping chance is on my side. Excellent balanced review. Cheers.
Thanks as always for all you do and provide! I noticed that Albert playing in Vegas with ying cai shen. Which I thought you mentioned not in US? Unless I misunderstood? Thanks.
I saw it by accident. It was on a slot with a couple other games. I walked by the machine before without noticing. Then as I walked past it again it was on Twin Win.
I love Twin Win. It’s good for building points when I have 10x point days, and it can have some really good line hits even at small bet amounts (got a $20 hit off 45 cents today!).
I like bonuses but the old double diamonds still my favorite. China shores are great to can get hundreds of free spins on them and can bet from 30 cents to 4.50 a spin
So, I love your videos and this is no exception, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't go out and play the #1 slot machine of the year because it's not in the US. Is there another #1 equivalent that you might recommend in the US? 😞
Yin cai shen isn't at the casino I frequent the most - winstar. Though I feel that winstar tends to swap out any games that may have better odds for the players a lot. A lot of the games over the years I consistently did well on seemed to disappear in a few months and get replaced with games that are higher volatility. Lantern Rise for example was fairly plentiful there but now a lot of them have been removed too. It's one of my frustrations for the world's largest casino you would think they would have a much larger variety of games because of the floor space but nope
So only play Light and Wonder slots. Dragon Train is also a Light and Wonder game and has not been removed in Australia. Some injunction is in place over here I believe. Thunder Drums is reliable winner any slot that enlargens up a bowl or coin bag or drumsis a good indication that some money has been gambled already on it. Fu Dai Lian Lian is another one.
Ying Cai shen used to be at encore Boston harbor. I used to play it but didn’t seem to be popular for some reason I don’t understand. They removed it rather quickly
Pots is fun, however the bonus rounds don't seem to pay very well compared to your bet, however you seem to get more bonus rounds so I guess it all balances out.
I might try some of those, but not sure why you would include a number 1 pick that's not generally available in the US. Personally, Frankenstein and Regal Riches are the two I seem to enjoy the most and automatically gravitate to when I see them.
I live in Michigan and I noticed a lot of games you play I don't see in the casino's here and I visit a lot of casinos here! I noticed the most popular machines are China Shores! Do they have that game in the casinos you visit? If so I would like to watch you play it so I can see how you do on it! 😊
I think I have seen the Ying Cai Shen at my casino in Salamanca, New York!!! The face looks very familiar to me. I will double check soon and report back for sure.

I retired from Light and Wonder (Bally Tech, Scientific Games). The design talent is top notch.

I dont understand why people who watch your videos dont hit the like button, if nothing else its how i know whether ive watched it before !!

If it didn’t save the video I would hit like on all his videos
I do.
Because I don't like or subscribe to any video or channel. If this goes away, something else will pop up. If RUclips goes away, other forms of entertainment will appear. *shrug*
@@samspade1418 spot on.
You are one of the RUclipsr and has experienced In casino, as a casino goers, this is very informative and all you said make sense
*Two* of my *Favorite* *Games* are *Flaming* *Hot* *Pots* *AND* *Thunder* *Drums!* unfortunately the *Line* *Pays* on *BOTH* are *not* *great* and *FHP* can be *pricey* for *Low* *Gamblers,* but a *Helluva* *Bonus!* *LOVE* *Hearing* "Order Up! *I* *Hope* *You* *Hunnggyyyyy!!!* thanks for all the *valuable* *info!*
My husband and I played Twin Win quite a lot. We never hit a big win but usually were able to play for a long time. I never missed the bonus.
The slot machine Ying Cai Shen is in Riverside Resort in Laughlin, NV. In the non smoking section.
thank you! going there next weekend and will look for it!
Nice. I'll be there in a few weeks.
I want to say thank you fro your emphasis about knowing your budget and when to leave. This are the tips I have learned. Thanks again.
Love these types of videos! Thank you for taking the time to do them!
It is a great question as to whether or not a game needs a bonus and I would say absolutely with the caveat it has to pay out really well the vast majority of the time.

Personally I would get bored even if I was getting decent hits if there wasn't a bonus I could get into that was almost a sure thing to pay out pretty well.
You are right about the 1 cent vs the dollar slots! I put in $100 bucks and walked away in total of $565 in just 6 spins. Can't beat those odds
Always excellent content, thanks!
The Thunder drum game is cool but people only want the green drum obv because you do get that golden drum. It’s like mo mummy, people only want the cash collect feature. Fun games but I tend not to play games where I only want one of the bonuses! Thanks for the videos Brantley!!

This makes sense. I’ve played the first one twice and hit nice bonuses both times! Will probably play it more now
I always play Big hot flaming pots at my local casino. It's such a fun game, and it can be a budget builder. My wife won a $2700 major with a $1 bet on Tunder drums.
Thank you! for your best and worst games videos. 🤠
Thanks for providing all this great info.
Thanks for all the tips and information you give. I'm definitely a low roller so any tips on making my budget last longer is great! Ill try some of these games soon! 🙂
I loved the Ghostbusters machine. Only saw it once in the Bellagio. Used to enjoy the Nascar machine (they have vanished now) and the really old Texas Tea machines. Found one of them on my last Vegas trip.
Thank you for all your advice, playing is a little less scary with your helpful advice. Good luck into the new year!
Great info! Thank you
This is great! Thank you for the recommendations- I am excited to try some of these! ❤🔥😻
Thank you for another great video!
I will try these out for sure!
I saw a video on RUclips from 2 years ago with Ying Cai Shen and it was supposedly filmed at the Belagio in Las Vegas.
I'd like to know if it's still there!
Thank you for the list. I usually play Buffalo Gold Collection.
Thanks for the tips. heading to Vegas this week, also LOVE the hat!
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
Haven't gotten into Flaming Pots, tired of the three bag games anyway.
Did pretty good on Thunder Drums at first but now it just is lots of dead spins.
Interesting you included Lantern Rise because it's been out for two years and gone locally.
Twin Win the original is very hard to find anymore, be fun to see a new version.
And your top pick IGT game, I've never heard of😊.
As to your bonus question I've done very well on games that don't have a bonus round 👍
Yin Cai Shen was at the Borgata in Atlantic City this past summer 3 machines on a carousel. I hit on all three playing the lowest bet level
Was this in the part of the casino that they are completely renovating?
@ the carousel was by the VIP lounge. I know they were putting new carpet down in the entire casino.
We have several of the Ying Cai Shen at Bally's Twin River in R.I. Great game and a lot of fun :)
Ying Cai Shen can be found at The Borgata in Atlantic City
Which part of the casino?
@bigp0296 Right now, the casino floor is being remodeled.. A quarter of the machines have been taken off the floor.. Including that one 👎
Hot pots is what I've won the most on any machine i love the bonus round especially when you get all 3 it makes for a fun time and very rewarding
Great informative video
Hi, great information. Thank you.😊
Good video! Haven’t seen the top 2 before. Looks like that I would be lucky to see number one😂 thx Brantley!❤
Love your videos lots information

I plan to play Red Hot Flaming Pots and Lantern Rise on next Vegas trip...I also need to visit Fremont Street.
Thanks Brantley!
Going tomorrow. Looking at what to play & how to play them. Thnx.
Dragon Link and the newer Phoenix Link is the top slot machine by a mile, great progressives, free game feature, hold n spin feature, and the graphics/sound
THANKS FOR SHARING AND EXPLAINING THE GAMES UNDERSTANDABLE! SALUTE!
I love Twin Win. Can’t wait to play the new version!
Was waiting on this one! Thanks!
I also love twin win i won couple 12 buck hits on 75c then a 20 buck hit on and a 50 buck hit on 1.50 bet then a 73 buck hit on 4.50 bet i love this game so glad my casino got it in
I do not mind not having a bonus round, if the payouts are good. I played Twin Win tonight, based on your recommendation and I did come out ahead!!!
I got to where I gave up on Lantern Rising . I’m conditioned to getting a large payout when hitting a bonus on higher bets. So cashing out on this game after nice line hits would have probably served me better

I personally don't need a bonus round. I just want to make my budget last since I don't get to the casino all that often.
Thanks for the heads up.
Your number one pick is in several casinos scattered across Oklahoma. It's a very fun game.
Glad to hear it's in your area!
Turningstone Casino in Verona NY has that game last time I was there about a month ago. That's Ying Xi Chan(spelling might be off lol)
Awwwww..... No love for the 12 foot tall Willy Wonka game? I drop my bets and can play forever. So much fun. Great stuff Cowboy
I love Ying Cai Shen but the new Hard Rock in Bristol took it out even as it was a popular machine.
Well, I just got to the reverse atm city, so let’s see if this works, it’s just a gamble but nice to see some others opinion. Thanks.
I like games with bonus rounds. I played Quick Hit Link for first time today, really liked it. I wish I could find Ying Cai Shin.
Hey cowboy slots! I go to Bally’s twin river in Lincoln Rhode Island and they have 20+ of your top rated slot, it may be a bit a of drive lol but they’re packed in that casino
ty for sharing my fav is hot pots and magic lamp
I may have seen # 1 locally and just contacted them to verify hoping they call back doing a Cruise may hope to see it I do love many IGT games. Number 5 pick pot theme looks fun and time management slow down if lucky to Bonus will give it a try thanks to the review hoping chance is on my side. Excellent balanced review. Cheers.
Great information! Do you ever go to Cherokee NC?
Only played Big Hot Flaming Pots and did not have much luck. Will look for Lantern Rise, Twin Win and Ying Cai Shen
Great channel but I don't recommend Thunder. I put in like 700. Got one bonus on a 5 bet that paid like 50. Beware guys!
could you do a video sometime on your favorite games versus the best and worst games and explain why?
Flaming hot pots is great. The bonus round is really fun and can pay out really good.
Thanks as always for all you do and provide! I noticed that Albert playing in Vegas with ying cai shen. Which I thought you mentioned not in US? Unless I misunderstood? Thanks.
I haven't seen a twin win in years. Guess I don't go to the places.
I remember that one in the officer's club slot room. Years ago.
I always liked it
I saw it by accident. It was on a slot with a couple other games. I walked by the machine before without noticing. Then as I walked past it again it was on Twin Win.
I love Twin Win. It’s good for building points when I have 10x point days, and it can have some really good line hits even at small bet amounts (got a $20 hit off 45 cents today!).
I like bonuses but the old double diamonds still my favorite. China shores are great to can get hundreds of free spins on them and can bet from 30 cents to 4.50 a spin
Thank you for you identifying the best and the worst slots.
So, I love your videos and this is no exception, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't go out and play the #1 slot machine of the year because it's not in the US. Is there another #1 equivalent that you might recommend in the US? 😞
Thunder drums is sooo hard I have never done well on it 😢
I love hot pots! I usually do pretty good on it
Great I won a handpay on Lantern rise at the M resort. It’s has beautiful graphics.
I don’t need a bonus round in a game. Flaming Hot Pots and Twin Win are on my list to try
Flaming hot pots is prob the biggest bank roll eater in the casino. Terrible game, I stopped listening once he had it listed at 5
As a tech, I realise AGS is creating some fun games, but as a tech? Hate those cabinets! Lol
Good advice as always!
Bonuses are cool and fun but if it's going to pay out well and you can play longer that's also a big +!
Thanks, good info!!
lots of Ying Cai Shen machines at the Casinos in Macau
You are a great speaker.
I like lantern rise, but it takes a while to get the bonus. Unless you get the haywire feature
Yin cai shen isn't at the casino I frequent the most - winstar.
Though I feel that winstar tends to swap out any games that may have better odds for the players a lot. A lot of the games over the years I consistently did well on seemed to disappear in a few months and get replaced with games that are higher volatility. Lantern Rise for example was fairly plentiful there but now a lot of them have been removed too.
It's one of my frustrations for the world's largest casino you would think they would have a much larger variety of games because of the floor space but nope
So only play Light and Wonder slots. Dragon Train is also a Light and Wonder game and has not been removed in Australia. Some injunction is in place over here I believe. Thunder Drums is reliable winner any slot that enlargens up a bowl or coin bag or drumsis a good indication that some money has been gambled already on it. Fu Dai Lian Lian is another one.
Thunder Drum: I've hit over $600 off of a $20 bill with a .60cent denom. This slot Never disappoints glad it's on the list for sure!!!
I've never seen those games in our casino in Illinois
Is it better to play a penny denomination 1.50 on .01. Or go to .02 and play 1.50? Hope this question make since
I’ll be putting this to the test today. I was going to the casino anyway, and I like to try new games here and there. So, why not?
I like bonus rounds but hesitate to play them with a low budget because to me the bonus round does not hit often enough to make the risk worth while.
Ying Cai shen used to be at encore Boston harbor. I used to play it but didn’t seem to be popular for some reason I don’t understand. They removed it rather quickly
Pots is fun, however the bonus rounds don't seem to pay very well compared to your bet, however you seem to get more bonus rounds so I guess it all balances out.
Thanks
Awesome video. I was going to say that I've never seen that #1 game. You should've had an alternate choice for US games lol
I might try some of those, but not sure why you would include a number 1 pick that's not generally available in the US. Personally, Frankenstein and Regal Riches are the two I seem to enjoy the most and automatically gravitate to when I see them.
I live in Michigan and I noticed a lot of games you play I don't see in the casino's here and I visit a lot of casinos here! I noticed the most popular machines are China Shores! Do they have that game in the casinos you visit? If so I would like to watch you play it so I can see how you do on it! 😊
I think I have seen the Ying Cai Shen at my casino in Salamanca, New York!!! The face looks very familiar to me. I will double check soon and report back for sure.
