From Faster Medical Service To Global Crisis Relief – The Potential Of eVTOLs To Usher In A New Future

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As Countries Battle To Curb Global Emissions, Air Travel Is Under Scrutiny The impact of aviation emissions on climate change is significant, as airplanes burn fossil fuels that release CO2 emissions and other warming non-CO2 effects such as nitrogen oxides (NOx). Unfortunately, emissions from aviation have been growing at an alarming rate. Between 1990 and 2019, aviation emissions more than doubled, surpassing the growth rate of any other mode of transportation. If left unchecked, aviation emissions could double again by 2050 compared to 2019 levels and consume more than 10% of the remaining carbon budget needed to limit global warming to below 1.5°C. In the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft have received attention from the press, the public and investors as a potential solution to help curb global emissions. Companies like New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR) (“Horizon Aircraft”) are currently developing prototypes that may revolutionize the way we approach air travel. Horizon Aircraft is working on its prototype eVTOL, the Cavorite X7, a unique aircraft designed for longer-range regional passenger, cargo, and special missions. Horizon Aircraft currently has a 50%-scale prototype that has successfully demonstrated hover flight and the company believes it will complete a successful transition flight before the end of Q1 of 2024. Brewing Crises Demand Better Solutions Helicopters have historically been the quickest mode of transportation for hospital transfers in emergencies but eVTOLs are looking like they may be a better alternative. Horizon Aircraft boasts that its product will be able to take off and land like a helicopter and fly almost twice as fast with lower operating costs. Their prototype aircraft is expected to fly at speeds up to 450 km and carry 700 kg of useful load over 800 km. These new aircraft could transport an injured person to the hospital in half the time or deliver critical, lifesaving medication between hospitals quickly and more efficiently than a helicopter. In the last few years, there has also been an uptick in climate-related disasters. In the wake of a hurricane or severe storm that knocks out power, aircraft like the Cavorite X7 could land in any suitable small space and provide aid directly to people in need. Notably, with a hybrid electric power system, this aircraft can recharge itself without the need for a functional electrical grid. Global Congestion Grows As People Migrate To Major Cities With population growth and urbanization on the rise, traffic congestion is becoming a pressing concern for citizens and city planners alike. A recent study conducted in the U.S., France, Germany and the U.K. revealed that road congestion results in up to $200 billion in lost productivity annually. eVTOL aircraft could offer a unique solution to increase efficiency in the air network that transports people and cargo. This increased efficiency may offer significant reductions in air transportation pollution. This transition to better technology is being recognized by the larger investment community; Horizon Aircraft recently published a global study that showed an overwhelming majority (96%) of professional investors understand the increasing global demand for improved transportation systems, coupled with the imperative to reduce the environmental footprint resulting from increased road congestion. The study’s findings included that investors also believe the advancements in technology that demonstrate the safety and feasibility of eVTOL aircraft will catalyze movement in the regulatory landscape and attract substantial investments to the sector within the next five years. Horizon Aircraft Could Be On Track To Be A Leader In The Air Travel Revolution Horizon Aircraft’s technology and leadership have distinguished itself from competitors such as Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) and Lilium NV (NASDAQ: LILM). The company, led by a seasoned former fighter pilot, harnesses the wealth of knowledge accumulated by its professionals with extensive backgrounds in military and commercial aviation. Comprising a dedicated group of engineers, pilots and business specialists, the team at Horizon Aircraft is determined to drive innovation in regional transportation. The future of aviation demands modern-day solutions and cutting-edge technology. Horizon Aircraft seems well-positioned to be a leader in the space. Featured photo by Skyler Smith on Unsplash.

HTX Ventures: Why BounceBit's Innovative Solutions Might Be Key To Unlock the Bitcoin (BTC) Ecosystem?

HTX Ventures

Singapore / March 28, 2024 – With the approval of BTC spot ETFs, institutions and individuals worldwide are increasing their holdings of BTC, spurring a surge in the BTC prices. BTC now ranks among the top 10 assets globally by market capitalization. BTC inscriptions and scaling are two niche segments gaining widespread traction in this market cycle. The exploration of diversifying revenue streams from BTC ecosystem assets is drawing the attention of the cryptocurrency market. So, which solution will become the optimal one to tackle issues such as interest on BTC assets, network confirmation delays, lack of smart contracts, and high gas fees? Current solutions for enhancing the BTC ecosystem include Layer 2s and sidechains. As one of the investor of BounceBit’s 6M funding round, HTX Ventures sees BounceBit, with its CeFi+DeFi product model, as a potentially innovative solution to open up the Bitcoin ecosystem for more application. This research report thoroughly examines BounceBit, outlining its product design philosophy and HTX Ventures' investment rationale. HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of HTX, leverages an integrated approach that combines investment, incubation, and research to identify the most exceptional and promising teams around the world. To date, HTX Ventures has supported over 200 projects spanning multiple blockchain tracks, with some high-quality projects already listed on HTX for trading. What Is BounceBit? BounceBit is a BTC restaking chain exclusively designed for Bitcoin, building BTC restaking infrastructure that provides a foundational layer for different restaking products, secured by the regulated custody of Mainnet Digital and Ceffu. It employs a BTC + BounceBit hybrid PoS mechanism for validation. BounceBit resolves trust issues with underlying BTC assets through multi-party custodianship, creating BBTC for DeFi interactions on the Bounce mainnet. Native BTC assets are used to participate in low-risk arbitrage strategies on various centralized exchanges. Additionally, under a hybrid token staking mechanism, using BBTC+BB (BounceBit's native token) for staking can generate LSD tokens, further obtaining node staking rewards and restaking profits. By combining centralized custody and sidechains, BounceBit aims to address the longstanding trust issues of sidechains while reinvigorating the BTC ecosystem. This will reduce trading fees and unlock the financial potential of BTC, enabling access to applications in DeFi, gaming, social, and more sectors. How Does BounceBit Work? BounceBit's product design is very ingenious, as shown in the following diagram: Users deposit multiple types of on-chain Bitcoin assets into the BounceBit Protocol which is actually supervised by BounceBit, CEFFU, and Mainnet Digital under a jointly managed MPC wallet. This setup is to address trust mechanism issues and ensure the security of user assets. By using off-exchange settlement (OES) solutions like Ceffu’s MirrorX, it gives protocol secure access to the deep liquidity on exchanges and earn yield through diverse trading strategies, while funds stay safe on-chain in MPC wallets, a wallet technology that essentially splits the private key into multiple shards. This way the single point of failure (SPOF) risk is reduced to a minimum. Additionally counterparty-risk is reduced, as the user funds are never actually stored on any centralized exchange, but rather are mirrored by Ceffu. BounceBit works with multiple experienced asset managers with a longstanding positive return track record to trade through MirrorX. All of the asset managers use Funding Rate Arbitrage as their trading strategy. Funding Rate Arbitrage is a profitable delta-neutral strategy which capitalizes on the difference of the funding rate between different markets. On the other hand, after users transfer their native assets into BounceBit, a new asset, B-Token, will be minted. Taking BTC as an example, after depositing BTC, users will receive BBTC assets that operate on the BounceBit mainnet. Currently, there are two main types of on-chain activities for this asset: First, under BounceBit's hybrid staking model, using BBTC+BB (the project's native token) to participate in node staking, while the LST generated from staking can further engage in restaking activities, further amplifying staking returns; second, BBTC can be used in various DeFi interactions on-chain. Currently, BounceBit has launched BounceClub for developers and users, where users can participate in various DeFi activities and income-generating activities on the BounceBit mainnet, increasing the richness of BTC asset earnings. Source:https://x.com/bounce_bit/status/1771481179683692656?s=46&t=ODDW1eIwucwwKwUR-9MGBg In terms of sources of income, by participating in BounceBit's staking and on-chain financial interactions, users can get yield on their assets: CeFi yield from native assets under centralized exchange sub-accounts. DeFi yield from interactions on the BounceBit chain. Staking rewards from using BBTC+BB for staking, as well as restaking profits from LST generated after staking. In summary, BounceBit, while ensuring asset security through multi-party custodianship, offers multiple ways to generate yield. HTX Ventures’ Investment in BounceBit HTX Ventures, being a principal investor in Bouncebit, is confident that Bouncebit is able to address a significant and genuine market demand by leveraging its centralized custody model built upon a standard sidechain. BounceBit's primary objective is to tackle issues such as interest on BTC assets, underutilization of idle BTC, lack of innovation, and high gas fees. Essentially, it aims to provide diverse revenue streams, mitigating Bitcoin's challenge of lacking smart contracts. Current solutions for enhancing the BTC ecosystem include Layers-2s and sidechains. Layer-2 solutions execute Bitcoin transactions off-chain to enhance transaction speed. Examples of Layer-2s include state tunnels and rollups. State channels, like the Lightning Network, have limited scalability and mainly focus on expediting peer-to-peer transactions, making it challenging to deploy Ethereum-level smart contracts. Rollups lack sufficient trust guarantees as Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions cannot be verified by the mainnet upon returning the ledger due to issues with underlying code and signature verification. The most promising approach currently involves upgrading Bitcoin's BIP layer and updating miners' underlying codes based on new Taproot protocols to support OP/ZKP verification and Bitcoin miner calculation. However, there may still be a long way to go before rollups' implementation. Sidechains function as independent chains, allowing users to map Bitcoin from mainnets for application. While sidechains offer better processing speeds, they lack trust verification from the Bitcoin mainnet, thus raising concerns about trust and consensus. Additionally, project misconduct is more likely to occur, jeopardizing the security of mapped assets. This TVL dilemma is common among most sidechains. BounceBit posits that the infrastructure related to Bitcoin is primarily asset-driven, emphasizing how BTC can be utilized in new environments or chains. Unlike focusing on building layer 2 solutions directly atop the Bitcoin chain, BounceBit stands as an isolated PoS layer one. Here, nodes stake both BTC and BounceBit tokens to ensure the security of the chain. The connection between BounceBit and BTC is established at the asset level rather than the protocol level. BounceBit seeks to address the consensus and trust issues of sidechains through centralized custody on top of a regular sidechain. Given current circumstances, this combination of centralization and decentralization may offer a compromise to solve both technical and trust issues. BounceBit's design mechanism and development team have created a competitive edge and opened up opportunities within the sector. Outlook With the approval of BTC spot ETFs, institutions and individuals worldwide are increasing their holdings of BTC, spurring a surge in the BTC prices. BTC now ranks among the top 10 assets globally by market capitalization. Additionally, BTC inscriptions and scaling are two niche segments gaining widespread traction in this market cycle. The progress in these areas has sparked excitement in the market, drawing more attention to the BTC ecosystem. Developers and market participants are exploring additional BTC-based use cases and income opportunities. BounceBit, as a product combining CeFi and DeFi, possesses a certain degree of innovation in its product model. By integrating centralized and decentralized mechanisms, it introduces a tri-party custodianship mechanism into the trust solution, creating new EVM chain assets to invigorate the financial attributes of native assets, potentially becoming a new solution for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Moreover, the project team has demonstrated excellent capabilities in product operation and traffic generation. HTX Ventures expects more technical breakthroughs in the BTC ecosystem, accompanied by the emergence of more ecosystem projects. This trend will fuel excitement and anticipation. Currently, BounceBit's combination of CeFi and DeFi has promising potential for TVL growth and is poised to diversify revenue streams from BTC ecosystem assets. *Special thanks to BounceBit for their support in writing this article.

News Release

4 Stocks To Watch With Rising Copper Prices

BNNHF, FCX, ERO, FQVLF

A seismic shift has unfolded in the global copper market following a significant announcement from Chinese smelters. On March 13, these influential entities, responsible for processing half of the world's mined copper, jointly declared a production cut. This decision reverberated through the market, sparking a surge in trading activities. As a result, the benchmark three-month copper price on the London Metal Exchange (LME) soared to $8,799 per metric ton, its highest point in seven months. Simultaneously, copper for delivery in May experienced a substantial uptick on the Comex market in New York, reaching $4.06 per pound ($8,932 per tonne), marking a significant 3.3% surge from the previous day’s closing. Moreover, amidst projections of copper's crucial role in the transition to clean energy and net-zero emissions by 2050, its demand is poised for significant growth. Copper is indispensable in renewable energy infrastructure, electric vehicles, grid modernization, and energy storage systems, making it a key enabler of a sustainable energy future. Given this backdrop, investing in copper mining stocks presents an opportune moment. Let's explore four copper mining stocks worthy of your watchlist: Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (OTC: BNNHF) (CSE: BNN) is a Canadian-listed junior exploration company with a primary focus on advancing the Alotta project, situated in the Yukon Territory, Canada. This project, positioned approximately 50 kilometers south of the Casino porphyry deposit, represents a significant opportunity within the Dawson Range porphyry/epithermal belt. The Alotta property spans approximately 1550 hectares, comprising 74 mineral claims. Notably, the property boasts over 4 by 1 kilometers of in-situ gold soil geochemistry, signaling substantial mineralization potential. Its strategic location in the unglaciated portion of the Dawson Range enhances the prospect's attractiveness for exploration and development. Geologically, the Alotta project shares similarities with the renowned Casino Deposit, including comparable Mesozoic intrusive phases and intermediate composition with porphyritic textures. The property's distinguishing features, such as reduced magnetic intensity due to hydrothermal fluid activity, imply the presence of porphyry-style mineralization processes. Coincident copper/gold in-soil anomalies, as well as magnetic depletion areas within the intrusive complex, add to the project's potential. These features align with established models of porphyry deposits, bolstering the case for significant mineralization within the Alotta property. Additionally, radiometric surveys have revealed large potassic highs within areas of magnetic depletion, indicative of alkalic porphyry systems known for their copper and gold deposits. This geological evidence underscores the prospectivity of the Alotta project and its potential to host economically viable mineral resources. Beyond its Yukon exploration activities, BNNHF holds a strategic 20% interest in Aion Mining Corp., a company focused on the development of the La Estrella coal project in Santander, Colombia. With eight identified seams of metallurgical and thermal coal, this investment diversifies Benjamin Hill’s portfolio and positions it for exposure to the global energy market. Recently, on March 26, 2024, BNNHF announced the successful closing of an oversubscribed $5 million private placement financing. This recent development underscores the company's ongoing efforts to secure funding for its exploration and development projects. The influx of funds from the private placement financing enhances the company's financial position, enabling it to advance exploration activities and potentially uncover valuable mineral resources. This financing success further indicates investor confidence in the company's prospects, which could attract further interest from potential shareholders. It serves as an important catalyst for investors to consider the growth potential of Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (OTC: NNHF) (CSE: BNN) and its projects, such as the Alotta project in the Yukon Territory and the La Estrella coal project in Colombia Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) stands as a major force in the global copper industry, boasting a robust portfolio of assets and a commitment to excellence. With its headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, FCX operates a diverse range of large-scale assets across North America, South America, and Indonesia, positioning itself as one of the world's largest publicly traded copper producers. At the heart of FCX's operations lies its strategic focus on copper, gold, and molybdenum mining. The company's flagship assets include the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, renowned for its vast copper and gold deposits, and significant operations in North America and South America, such as the Morenci minerals district in Arizona and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru. FCX has continued to demonstrate strong financial performance, reporting impressive earnings and revenue figures. Most recently, in January, FCX reported fourth-quarter earnings of $388 million, surpassing Wall Street expectations. This financial success is attributed to growing demand for copper and higher prices for gold, which have bolstered FCX's fortunes. Looking ahead, FCX remains optimistic about its prospects, expecting to sell 4.1 billion pounds of copper, 2 million ounces of gold, and 85 million pounds of molybdenum in 2024. Moreover, FCX is actively pursuing growth opportunities, with several expansion projects underway across the United States. For example, the company is expanding its Lone Star Mine in Safford, Arizona, aiming to increase copper production and extend the facility's operational life. Additionally, FCX is seeking permits for a pit addition at its copper mine in Tyrone, New Mexico, further demonstrating its commitment to long-term sustainability and growth. In line with its dedication to shareholders, FCX recently announced cash dividends of $0.15 per share, reflecting its performance-based payout framework. This dividend declaration underscores FCX's commitment to delivering value to its shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility and prudent capital allocation. Ero Copper Corp. (NYSE: ERO) (TSX: ERO) is another company that stands out as a compelling opportunity in the copper segment due to its high-margin, high-growth, and low carbon-intensity operations. With headquarters in Vancouver, B.C., and operations primarily based in Brazil, Ero Copper has established itself as a significant player in the copper mining industry. The company's primary asset is its 99.6% interest in Mineracao Caraiba S.A. (MCSA), which owns and operates the Caraiba Operations in the Curaca Valley, Bahia State, Brazil. This complex includes underground and open-pit mines, including the Pilar and Vermelhos underground mines and the Surubim open-pit mine. Additionally, Ero Copper holds the Tucuma Project in Para, Brazil, an IOCG-type copper project with promising prospects. Ero Copper's recent construction update for the Tucuma Project highlights significant progress, with physical completion now over 85%. The project is expected to commence production of copper concentrate in the second half of 2024. The company's focus on safety is evident, with over three million hours of work completed without a lost-time incident. Financially, ERO has reported robust earnings and production results. The company's fourth-quarter copper production exceeded expectations, contributing to record full-year production. Moreover, its gold production has also been impressive, with record numbers achieved during the reporting period. Analysts have also shown confidence in Ero Copper's performance, with increased earnings estimates for the first quarter of 2024. Despite some fluctuations in earnings compared to analyst expectations, the company's overall trajectory remains positive, owing to strong operational performance and strategic growth initiatives. ERO offers an appealing investment opportunity in the copper sector, supported by operational excellence, strategic assets, and prudent financial management. With promising projects underway and a track record of success, ERO makes a fine addition to any savvy investor's copper watchlist. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (OTC: FQVLF) (TSE: FM) is a global copper company known for producing copper in various forms, including concentrate, cathode, and anode, along with inventories of nickel, gold, and cobalt. With operations spread across several countries and a workforce of approximately 20,000 people worldwide, First Quantum is a significant player in the copper mining industry. In February, First Quantum reported its results for the fourth quarter of 2023, revealing a net loss attributable to shareholders of $1,447 million ($2.09 loss per share). Despite facing challenges, the company's CEO expressed confidence in First Quantum's resilience and the determination of its teams to overcome obstacles. Notably, the company secured a $500 million copper prepay arrangement with Jiangxi Copper, enhancing its liquidity position amidst supply challenges in the copper sector. The fourth-quarter results were impacted by disruptions at the Cobre Panamá mine, leading to a 28% decrease in total copper production compared to the previous quarter. However, the company remains committed to its growth initiatives, including the S3 expansion at the Kansanshi mine in Zambia, which is expected to significantly boost copper production and free cash flows by 2026. Analysts have taken note of First Quantum's recent developments, with RBC Capital Markets upgrading the company's rating from Sector Perform to Outperform. They see potential in the S3 expansion and believe that resolving issues at Cobre Panamá could unlock further value for the company. Stifel Nicolaus has set a price target of C$14.00 for First Quantum Minerals, indicating a potential upside of 5.11% from its previous close. Despite the challenges faced, First Quantum Minerals remains a key player in the global copper market, with strategic initiatives in place to drive future growth and value creation for shareholders.

HTX Introduces Fee-Free BTC Trading with Daily 200K USDT Rewards Amid BTC's Surge to $70K

HTX

After experiencing the largest weekly drop in nearly six months, Bitcoin rebounded on March 25, briefly reaching $71,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at 70,590 USDT on HTX. According to a report released by 10x Research, Bitcoin may surge to a new high of $83,000 after a period of consolidation. Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, has warned of a potential liquidity crisis among sellers within the next six months, citing the rapid net inflow of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which exceeded 30,000 BTC in early March. Should such a crisis occur, Bitcoin's next peak could surpass expectations due to limited seller liquidity and a thin order book. Given Bitcoin's heightened anticipation and scarcity, leveraging its volatility for maximum returns is a crucial consideration for investors. In response to this, HTX has introduced the "Trade to Earn" event aimed at enriching trading experiences and offering users opportunities for asset growth. Trade to Earn: HTX's Fee-Free Trading of BTC The Trade to Earn event is a benefit for all trading users at the HTX exchange. After successful registration for this event, participants can earn $HTX as rewards by trading designated cryptocurrencies. Additionally, all daily trading fees generated will be fully utilized for $HTX buybacks to support stable appreciation. 100% of $HTX acquired through buybacks will be entirely burned. Currently, the Trade to Earn event applies to BTC/USDT spot and futures trading. Participation in either trading type enables users to enjoy negative fee rates and stand a chance to share a daily prize pool of 100,000 USDT, respectively. This event enhances the platform's liquidity through reduced trading costs and improved trading efficiency, offering users better trading experience. Meanwhile, the supply of $HTX will be decreased through the event to enhance its stability and value, which will help attract more investors and users to participate in ecosystem development. Most importantly, this burning method also grants more earning opportunities for HTX DAO users. Through participation in liquidity mining and staking, users can receive more rewards in tokens, thereby achieving wealth appreciation. A Guide to Trade to Earn: How to Grab 200,000 USDT Daily According to HTX's announcements, the Trade to Earn event will conclude at 11:59:59 (UTC) on April 14, 2024, for the BTC/USDT spot trading and at 11:59:59 (UTC) on March 27, 2024, for the BTCUSDT perpetual futures trading. A daily prize pool of 100,000 USDT worth of $HTX will be distributed for each pair. The event is on a daily basis. A day is defined from 12:00 (UTC) on Day T to 11:59 (UTC) on Day T+1. For spot trades, rewards will be calculated and updated starting on Day T+2 at 04:00 (UTC), and users can claim their $HTX at any time. For futures trades, rewards will be credited to winners' HTX spot accounts within 3 working days after the end of each round. Trade to Earn is open to all HTX users, including market makers and API traders. To participate in Spot "Trade to Earn", you must have at least 300 Rockets and register on the event page. For the futures event, you must have at least 10 USDT (excluding futures trial bonuses) in your futures account and click on the Register Now button. Notably, starting from 16:00:00 (UTC) on March 19, 2024, trading fees corresponding to participants' rewards in the "Trade to Earn" event will no longer be eligible for commissions or rebates. Other fees generated by their trades will remain unaffected. This initiative aims to further increase the daily buyback amount of $HTX to support stable $HTX appreciation. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem. This expansion covers a wide range of services including digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investments, incubation, and more. As a world-leading portal to Web 3.0, HTX is committed to a growth strategy focused on global expansion, ecological prosperity, wealth effect, and safety and compliance.

Online Slots Singapore - Play The Best Slot Online SG

AM Mediterranean

Are you looking for the best real money slots and slots sites in Singapore? Then look no further. Essentially, real money slot games provide Singaporean players with the opportunity to win big real money prizes from the comfort of their homes. Unsurprisingly, this form of gambling has gained a lot more attention in the past three years. Here, we look at everything you need to know to get started… the best slots sites, odds, payouts, progressive jackpots, support, tips, tricks and more. Best Online Slots Sites Singapore Gembet Casino - Best Online Slot Site SG 7Bit Casino - Best Overall Slot Collections LuckyBlock Casino - Best Slot Machine Cash Drop MB8 - Best Jackpot Slot Games Me88 Casino - Trendy Online Slot Games Mirax Casino - Best Casino Welcome Bonus for Slots 1xBet Casino - Best Slot Casino with Sportsbook MyStake - JILI Slot Games SG Katsubet - Best Customer Service for SG Players How We Pick the Best Real Money Slots Sites We make sure that for each slots site we look at, we follow a multi-step process. To successfully evaluate casino operators for Singaporean players, we check out various features including: Ease of registration Payment methods Bonuses User experience Slots and game selection Software providers Betting limits Customer support RTP Certification and licences. Our first and main focus is on operating licences… and if the operator lacks a valid one, it goes no further. Licences signify that they have been given official approval by stringent governing bodies- meaning fairness and trustworthiness. Subsequently, we look at bonuses, promotions, and VIP memberships to gauge how well the site treats its players. The list of software providers and games helps us determine the casino's size and the entertainment value you can look forward to. Finally, we test out the customer service - to ensure you can rely on assistance as and when needed. How to Pick the Right Slot to Play So, you’ve picked your slots site… but how do you pick the right game to get started on? Well, before playing for real money, it's crucial to acquaint yourself with game features through free demo versions of the games, which are available at most online slots sites in Singapore. While the visual appeal may capture your attention initially, there are other factors to consider when deciding whether or not to spend money on the game. These include: Payout Percentage - RTP Maximum Prize Paytable Betting Range Free Spins Bonus Rounds When opting for real casino slots, checking the payout percentage ensures you are playing on a slot that pays out a decent amount in winnings. You should also consider the allowed betting range to make sure it caters to your budget. Additionally, look for information about free spins and bonus rounds, which can increase the fun - and the winning potential. Online Slots - Odds and Payouts When starting in the world of online slot machines, payouts and odds become crucial aspects you need to know about. RTP The key focus should be on RTP, which is the Return to Player Ratio. This signifies the percentage of money returned by the provider (the higher the percentage, the better). Make sure the RTP is clearly advertised, and a useful tip is to steer clear of games with low RTP. If you spot an RTP below 95%, it's advisable to avoid that operator - unless it is a progressive jackpot game as these tend to have lower RTPs. Typically, the average RTP should be between 96 to 98%, with rare cases reaching 99%. Volatility Volatility is another frequently encountered term in the online casino industry, signifying the level of risk in a game or, simply put, how often you can expect to win in a single session. High and low volatility are common classifications… where high volatility slots offer fewer wins, but they are bigger wins when they do arrive. Conversely, low volatility slots deliver smaller but more frequent payouts. Everything Else You Need to Know About Online Slot Games In the world of online slot machines, it's absolutely essential that you understand key elements such as paylines, pay tables, scatters, and wilds: Paylines: These are the positions or lines on which the symbols need to land in order to hit a winning combination. There can be anywhere between 1 and hundreds of thousands of paylines depending on the game. Normally, you require 3 or more symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel on any of these paylines to score a payout Paytable: This is a chart displaying the win ratios, offering you insights into how to succeed in the game. Checking the paytable before playing is always a good idea, especially for complex real money slot games, as it provides you with instructions on features like wilds, bonuses, and scatters. It also outlines how to achieve the maximum bet for maximum profit. Scatters and Wilds: Scatters, when they land, don't need to land on a payline. As long as three land anywhere on the reels, they often trigger feature rounds and even have their own payouts. Wilds can substitute for any regular symbol to create a winning combination. Getting a wild with four identical symbols on a payline, for instance, results in a combination of five winning symbols. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Features All real money slot games for Singapore players come with all sorts of exciting and unique bonus rounds designed by developers, each game offering its own distinctive experience. Before you get started, it’s a good idea to know the differences between these similar features, so let's break them down for you: Bonus Rounds: Triggered randomly, these often award the biggest prizes without requiring you to spend any extra money to play them. These often take the form of free spins that let you spin the reels again - usually several times and they often come with other features such as multipliers etc. Free Spins: Featured in most casino slots real money games, these spins basically allow you to spin the reels without using your own bankroll, providing an opportunity to win substantial prizes. They are generally triggered by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels. Bonus Games: Similar to free spins, these randomly triggered games often involve mini-levels where you collect generous prizes and awards. While not all games have bonus games, they can offer seriously decent rewards. Nudges: This feature isn’t that common in online slots, but it involves pushing symbols one or two spaces up or down to form winning combinations. Clusters: There are also Cluster Pays games, where you form wins by grouping them rather than by landing them on adjacent reels on a payline. This simplifies the process even more, enhancing your overall experience and can lead to huge wins. Progressive Jackpot Slots Real money slot machines are hugely popular because they offer the allure of enormous prizes… and progressive jackpots stand out as the most popular avenue for trying to win those substantial sums… that could potentially change your entire life with just one single spin. Progressive jackpot slots, slightly different from regular slot games, collect a portion of every bet that is placed on that particular game, potentially forming massive jackpots contributed to by every player that tried their luck on the game. Each jackpot starts from its seed… which is the minimum guaranteed amount that can be won - and that gradually builds up. With every bet made on the game, a small portion (usually around 5%) contributes to the progressive jackpot. The jackpot can then either be won randomly or won by triggering the jackpot round. Once won, the jackpot will reset and the process repeats. Basically, these slot machines have the potential to change your life. However, it’s important to note with progressives that each game has its own stake requirement, so make sure you pay attention to the minimum stake required to trigger the jackpot. Some games require you to place maximum bets, whilst others allow you to trigger the jackpot no matter what your stake. The Best Slot Game Providers Singaporean casinos offering real money games exclusively partner with some of the most distinguished software providers in the world, like NetEnt, IGT, EGT, Aristocrat Technologies, and Pragmatic Play to name but a few. NetEnt NetEnt, a standout name in the industry with over 15 years of operation and over 71 million daily transactions, boasts some of the most popular slot titles out there - including Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, Mega Fortune, and Blood Suckers. IGT IGT, another highly reputable provider, has made a name for itself by creating renowned titles such as Texas Tea, Dungeons & Dragons: Treasures of Icewind Dale, Wheel Of Fortune, and Pharaoh’s Fortune - all of which are widely enjoyed by players across various online casinos in Singapore and all over the world. EGT Not to be mistaken for IGT, Euro Games Technology (EGT), hailing from Bulgaria, is recognised for its wide selection of high-quality real money slots like 20 Super Hot, Flaming Hot, 40 Super Hot, and Burning Hot. It has earned a fantastic reputation among Balkan's software providers. Aristocrat Technologies Aristocrat Technologies, founded way back in 1953, is one of the oldest companies in the online gaming industry, operating in over 240 gambling jurisdictions. This is indicative of its stellar reputation and highest quality. Pragmatic Play Pragmatic Play, a hugely popular gambling content provider, is one that prioritises mobile gaming. Their commitment to mobile optimisation ensures that you can expect exceptional compatibility when playing on your mobile device, so you can enjoy the very best quality and experience no matter where you are. Playing Online Slots on Mobile For those looking to enjoy their real money online gambling experience on their mobile device, you’ll be pleased to know that a diverse range of options awaits you, so you won’t need to worry that your slots adventure will be left wanting. Thanks to the ever improving technology and HTML5, Singaporean players no longer need to download any specific dedicated software - instead, they can enjoy the thrills of direct play through their mobile browsers, which makes the whole process even easier. Mobile functionality means that as well as playing all the top games, you can also make deposits, withdrawals, collect bonuses and promotions… and do exactly what you need to do - mirroring the PC experience seamlessly, with automatic screen size adjustments. If you do prefer to download a dedicated app, a mobile slots app operates like any other phone application. It is generally downloadable from the store - and is normally compatible with iOS and Android, and sometimes even with Windows and BlackBerry systems. This flexibility ensures that slots can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime, as long as you have a decent internet connection. While some bonuses may be exclusive to web-based users, others cater specifically to mobile gamblers. The advent of HTML5 has undeniably revolutionised the online casino industry as we know it… particularly within the world of mobile slot sites in Singapore.

Our Top Tips and Tricks for Playing Online Slots Although slots are completely random… and there’s no way to guarantee a win, there are a few ways to try and maximise success in real cash slot games… so, if you’re wanting to give yourself the best experience possible, follow these steps: Familiarise yourself with the game either through free spins or by playing the game in demo mode first. Learn the symbols, mechanics, and bonus games before spending any real money on the slot. Make the most of your bonuses by picking the ones with the best terms and conditions- and use a payment option with low or no fees. Where possible, select a higher number of pay lines for more chances of payouts. Utilise AutoPlay for automated and more efficient gameplay. Try out Progressive Jackpots if you’re looking for those substantial prizes - but remember that the chances are you won’t win, so don’t spend more than you intended to chasing the jackpot. Cash out any decent profits when you get them. Play games that come with a high RTP for better returns. Keep disciplined in your gambling habits - set a budget and make sure you stick to it. Never gamble more that you can afford to lose - and always keep it fun. Ultimately, preparation is key for those new to online gambling. Start by enjoying free slots games to help you grasp the basics and minimise the risk of financial loss. Also, look to use free spins bonuses when available to get to grips with the game's features, symbols, and bonus rounds.

It’s also good to learn how to play progressive jackpots, timing your gameplay for the best chances of winning big. If you are ahead of the game and have won some decent profits, we recommend you cash out any good wins to safeguard your bankroll.
