Slots Playing Strategies
Many
question what kind of playing strategies
could be devised for a completely random
game. No slots playing strategy will guarantee
a winning session. However, the player who
follows some simple playing rules will stretch
out his bankroll and be better off in the
long run. Other than there are some money
management strategies that will help you
stay in the game longer.
Basic slots Strategy
1. Seek out the highest payout possible:
This may seem obvious, but many players
disregard this dictum. There can be a difference
of 10% or more in the payback percentage
offered by the same slots machine located
in a casino in Detroit versus a casino in
North Las Vegas. The player has a far better
chance where general payback percentages
are greater.
2.
Seek out the higher pay machines: Slots
managers generally place higher paying machines
in high traffic/high visibility areas. This
is so that people will notice the machine
paying off and be inclined to try their
own luck. Be careful, however. Slots managers
may place loose machines in a high visibility
area like an elevated carousel where everyone
can see winning pulls. Players will assume
that all the machines on a carousel are
loose. Slots managers are generally several
steps ahead of players, it is their business,
after all. They will mix their tight slots
in the same carousel as their loose slots.
3.
Join the player's club and always use
your player's card: Use of a players
card has no effect on the outcome of the
pull. It can, however, help you get some
of your money back. Many casinos offer a
"cashback" program that gives
the player back a percentage of their total
play. Additionally, all casinos offer comps.
Take advantage of these offers, join the
player's club and always use your card.
4.
Play maximum coins at all times:
Payback percentages are calculated to include
the jackpot amounts. Jackpots, generally,
are only paid on maximum coin pulls. If
you play at less than maximum coin, your
payback will be less than maximum. 5. Seek
out single payline machines: These machines
are less expensive to play. Your money will
last longer, and your chances of winning
a big jackpot, will be greater on a single
payline machine.
6.
Play only two coin or three coin machines:
Once again, your money will last longer
on a two coin max coin machine than on a
three coin max coin machine. You will be
able to play longer and be in the running
for a jackpot longer.
7.
Have a Money Management and Playing Strategy
set up BEFORE you even get into the casino:
Going into a casino without a money management
or playing strategy is like trying to build
a house without a set of plans. It is a
prescription for disaster.
8.
Stay away from progressive slots:
Payouts on progressives are much lower than
on regular slots machines. For the casual
player, they are a bad bet.
9.
Use the Play Through Betting Method:
As part of your plan, only bet with the
amount you planned to bet that session.
If your session plan is to bet $200, then
play the $200 through the machines, and
no more. Pocket whatever wins you have generated
off the original bet and end the session.
Do not play off the credit meter.
