Why bet big in poker?

Big = Strong; Small = Weak
In general, big bets and raises are a sign of strength, while smaller sizes are a sign of weakness. This is because when bluffing, players want to save money just in case their opponent doesn't fold. And when they've got the nuts, they go for as much value as possible.

Do you have to bet big to win big on slots?

The jackpots are the main events on progressives, and aside from those jackpots, the games usually pay less than other games. Don't settle for a lower paying game.
