I usually play blackjack. I would like to try out slots, Is it true that after x amount of spins that you are guaranteed a free spins round?

What could be a minimum amount of spins needed for the free spins ?- 10 or 60 ?

For the most part NO. We have a member here that claims he can predict when a bonus round is coming, but I'm pretty sure it's hogwash.

There are certain games (very few) that are designed to have a bonus round initiate after X number of spins, however, it's usually indicated on the machine that's how it works. A current example of this is Scarab. Technically it's not the bonus round, but a built in feature.

Most bonus round slot machines are designed for the bonus to come up randomly. There will be an average amount/number of spins that it actually takes. It could come up on your very first spin or it could take 500 spins +. Each different type of game has a different frequency.

That is not true. You are not guaranteed a bonus round after x spins. It would be random with an average of x spins.

Older slots usually had more frequent bonuses probably around the 60 to 100 average. The newer slots tend to take more spins than that.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

How many spins do you think a newer slot takes for a bonus round on an average?

Most seem to be in the 300-500 range

go with the skill games for the free spins and bonus spins. I tried Prominentt Skill Games machines last month. You will get tons of free spins.
