What strategy to use in Pick & Click bonuses
1. Understanding mechanics
Pick & Click in slots is a bonus round in which the player selects hidden objects (chests, rocks, boxes) with cash prizes, multipliers, or other enhancements. The result in most cases is based on a random number generator (RNG), so it is impossible to fully predict it. However, the strategy helps:
2. Strategies for different types of Pick & Click
Pick-until-collect (before first "finisher")
The first task is to avoid an object with an ending symbol.
It is optimal to choose objects located at the edges or in the corner (often this is a psychological trick of the developers, but there may not be a statistical difference - it is important to have a clear algorithm).
Stop after a meaningful win if the slot allows you to skip the remaining attempts.
Fixed number of elections
The goal is to maximize the value of each choice.
Select objects in a staggered order (to evenly cover the field and reduce the psychological factor of randomness).
When configuring bonuses (for example, Secret of the Stones), give priority to multipliers and wilds, and not additional backs, if the slot is highly dispersed.
Multilevel bonuses
Try to go as far as possible, choosing less "attractive" looking options (often expensive prizes developers visually highlight, which may coincide with "traps").
At the first levels, it is permissible to take risks, at the late levels - to play carefully so as not to complete the round too early.
3. Bankroll Management
Do not bid up before the bonus unless the slot guarantees increased winnings at a high bet (in Pick & Click, this does not always affect the content).
Schedule a session: Bonus games don't happen often, so it's important that the bet is comfortable over the long distance.
Keep records of winnings in bonuses separately to understand the real return.
4. Psychological techniques
Don't be tempted by "intuitive choices" - stick to a pre-designed scheme.
If the slot allows you to quickly open all objects, avoid auto-opening - manual selection increases engagement and helps control the process.
With consecutive unsuccessful bonuses, pause or change the slot - the algorithm does not "remember" past results.
5. Conclusion
Although Pick & Click remains an element of randomness, using a clear strategy:

- minimize the risk of early round completion (in pick-until-collect modes);
- increase the chances of a more profitable set of bonuses;
- manage bankroll based on potential winnings.

Although Pick & Click remains an element of randomness, using a clear strategy:

- gives more chances to get maximum prizes or multipliers;
- minimizes losses from "empty" elections.
- The main thing is to adapt the approach to a specific type of mechanics and always control the game budget.
