The
most important slot machine tip we can give you is to

not lead you on to buy some e-book with more tips that
we already offer for nothing.
Slot
Machine Tip #1
Don�t be
greedy
Players
don't lose because they never win; they lose because
they don't quit when they're ahead. Remember
on how many occasions you were winning? You were ahead?
It wasn't a big haul, so you kept playing, hoping to
rake in more and more. In the end, you gave back all you
won and you lost all the money you started with. The
longer a gambler plays, the more likely the house will
win. That's a fact.
The
main reason the great majority of players don't win is
their own greed. One Casino executive told us: "Our
players win all the time, but when they do they're not
happy, they want to win more and more, so they keep
playing until their bankroll is all gone."
So
what's the slot machine tip that'll make you a winner?
Stop being greedy! Before you put your money at risk,
think about what you would like to achieve, besides
having fun. Do you want to play for a certain number of
hours, or do you want to win a specific dollar amount?
Or a combination of both? Think about it. It's a most
important slot machine tip.
Slot
Machine Tip #2
Set
reasonable goals
Supposing
you're willing to risk �200 on your favourite slot or
video poker game. It would be wishful thinking to hope
to turn �200 into �10,000, but you have a realistic
chance to turn �200 into �250, that's a 25% gain in a
very short time. Where else can you get 25% on your
money that quickly and have fun doing it? Slot machine
tip number two: Set a modest goal and quit as soon as
that goal is achieved.
On
the other hand, if you plan to make your �200 stake last
for three hours, use this slot machine tip: play a
25-cent machine and stop at the end of the pre-set time
period, regardless of whether you're ahead or behind.
Decide
on what you're aiming for before you begin playing and
don't let greed take over. That way you have an
excellent shot at achieving your goal, and you assure
that you will not lose more than what you were willing
to risk in the first place. Have the discipline to do
this and you will have a much more satisfying gambling
experience. Using common sense and being in control at
all times is perhaps the most important slot machine tip
of all.
Slot
Machine Tip #3
Know
your machine
Before
you begin to play a new, unfamiliar type of machine
always read the instructions. Make sure you know how
many coins to insert for maximum payout. There is
nothing worse than seeing the jackpot combination line
up and then discover you didn't insert enough coins to
qualify for the big payoff.
Slot
Machine Tip #4
Look
for the best paying machines
Look
for machines that payout between 95 and 99 percent and
only play those. Theses are mostly �1 and higher
machines. Statistical research data indicate that �5 or
higher machines have the highest percentage payout
range. The range starts at 93.7% and goes up to 98.5%.
Remember
- these are ranges and averages, not absolute values.
The next highest payouts come from �1 machines followed
by 50-cent machines, 25-cent machines, and 5-cent
machines.
You
will often see signs that say "Up to 98% payback"
indicating that they have loose machines. This means
that over the long term the slot will pay out 98 cents
of every dollar that is played. The "up to" is the
key point here. It means that a Casino could have
only one machine set to pay back at 98% to comply with
the sign. If you find an area of slots with a sign
without the "up to" you may want to give it a try.
Slot
Machine Tip #5
Play
non-progressive machines
The
random number generators are programmed to produce a
higher number of reels and symbols on progressive
jackpot machines, slot players are better off playing
the flat rate machines found in the
best locations.
Slot
Machine Tip #6
Bribe
a casino employee
Ask
an employee in the slots area which machines are the
best. Offer them a cut of your profits (if you make
money) for helping you.
Slot
Machine Tip #7
Play
the maximum number of coins
The
only way you can hit the jackpot is by playing the
maximum coins.
When
you look at the payout table on the slot machine, most
of the time there are three columns; the first column is
the payout for playing one coin, the second for playing
two coins, and the third for playing three coins
(maximum).
Slot
Machine Tip #8
Don't
play multiple pay line slots
Although
it seems like you have better chances playing multiple-payline
slot machine, you're increasing the odds against you
drastically. The fact that you have to pay more to play
these kinds of slots and that the payout rates aren't as
good as single-payline slots makes it a bad deal.
Slot
Machine Tip #9
Always
use your slots card
Don't
forget to insert your player�s card in the reader before
you begin playing and don't forget to take it with you
when you leave. Many players do not take advantage of
"comps."
Slot
Machine Tip #10
Play
with coins rather than bills
If
you want to get the most play for your money, feed the
machines coins rather than using bills. However, make
sure that the payout percentage is worth your time.
Slot
Machine Tip #11
Know
when to stop
Discipline
is necessary when gambling, regardless of what casino
game it is. It's very easy to just keep playing because
you think you are minutes away from the jackpot, but
that can be dangerous. Your chances of hitting the
jackpot are the same for each pull. Decide how to handle
your winnings. Pocket 25% or 50% or 75% and add the
remainder to your bankroll for more playing, or keep it
all.
Slot
Machine Tip #12
Play
the highest denomination machines that fit into your
bankroll
The
higher the denomination the higher the percentage of
payout on slot machines. Therefore, if you can afford
it, play the �5 slots in the best locations. If that's
too much then play the �1 machines.
Slot
Machine Tip #13
Try
the machine next to you if yours is not paying off
According
to industry sources, the casinos NEVER place two loose
machines next to each other. If you're uncertain as to
whether your machine is loose, it may not hurt to try
the machines on either side of you.
Slot
Machine Tip #14
All
slot machines "dump" from time to time
Dumping
occurs when a given machine has been paying out below
its programmed percentage payout for an extended period
of time. Dumping is its way of returning to its
baseline percentage. This phenomenon can occur anywhere
on the gaming floor, and you need to take full advantage
of it when it happens. Ok,
HOW?
If
you were to observe two slot machines side-by-side, and
one was a legitimate 99%er while the other one was a 90%
(tight) machine dumping - you wouldn't be able to tell
them apart. And, the best part is: it doesn't matter!
Using your personal pull-rule, you would play the
machine(s) fast and hard. When they stop paying, MOVE
ON. |
