This is a simple but very effective strategy. Like Standard Deviation, in order
to make the One Play Strategy work, you must also choose slots games that offer
Equal-ratio payouts. This method works best with games that offer the biggest
jackpots, and you play only the maximum bet. These are the steps.
You start if any one play wins a payout at 1x-3x (1 to 3 times the amount bet)
then you make 1 more play.
If any one play wins 4x or more, then you make 3 more plays.
Otherwise you stop playing immediately.
Take note of those slots where such strategies might seem to work, and those
games where they do not work.
Note: there are a lot of people who don't believe in One Play slot machine
strategies. They usually say that it is impossible to win by just using one
kind of bet. The best thing to do is try the method out for yourself, if it
works for you than it does not mater what anyone else thinks about the strategy.
Also here are some things to consider when deciding whether to use the One Play
Strategy.
There will always be times when a slot game does not pay for awhile, and then
"pays off" in the end. However there also are times when a slot machine
game will just keep on paying.
Even a jackpot does not last very long if you go around feeding slot machines
that do not feed you back.
If you can keep, on average, 1x from every 3x win, you will do better than
to win the largest jackpot.

A single Blue Star symbol on the payline completes
the winning combination of a single Cherry symbol.
With 2 coins bet, a single Cherry symbol combination
pays out 4 coins. However, a Blue Star symbol is displayed,
so the payout is 4 x 2 = 8 coins.
Two Blue Star symbols and a 3-Bar symbol on the
payline, combine to produce a three 3-Bar symbols
combination. With 2 coins bet, a three 3-Bar symbols
combination pays out 100 coins. However, two Blue
Star symbols are showing, so the payout is 100 x 4
= 400 coins.

Most modern slot
machines are designed to look and feel like the old mechanical models,
but they work on a complete different principle. The outcome of each
pull is actually controlled by a central computer inside the machine,
not by the motion of the reels.
The computer uses step
motors to turn each reel and stop it at the predetermined point. Step
motors are driven by short digital pulses of electricity controlled by
the computer, rather than the fluctuating electrical current that drives
an ordinary electric motor. These pulses move the motor a set increment,
or step, with great precision.
But even though the
computer tells the reels where to stop, the games are not pre-programmed
to pay out at a certain time. A random number generator at the heart of
the computer ensures that each pull has an equal shot at hitting the
jackpot.
Whenever the slot
machine is turned on, the random number generator is spitting out whole
numbers (typically between 1 and several billion) hundreds of times a
second. The instant you pull the arm back or press the button, the
computer records the next few numbers from the random number generator.
Then it feeds these numbers through a simple program to determine where
the reels should stop.
.
You pull the handle or
press the button, and the computer records the next three numbers from
the random number generator. The first number is used to determine the
position of the first reel, the second number is used for the second
reel and the third number is used for the third reel. For this example,
let's say the first number is 123,456,789.
To determine the
position of the first reel, the computer divides the first random number
by a set value. Typically, slot machines divide by 32, 64,128, 256 or
512. In this example, we'll say the computer divides by 64.
When the computer
divides the random number by the set value, it records the remainder of
the quotient. In our example, it finds that 64 goes into 123,456,789 a
total of 1,929,012 times with a remainder of 21.
Obviously, the
remainder can't be more than 64 or less than 0, so there are only 64
possible end results of this calculation. The 64 possible values act as
stops on a large virtual reel.
Each of the 64 stops
on the virtual reel corresponds to one of the 22 stops on the actual
reel. The computer consults a table that tells it how far to move the
actual reel for a particular value on the virtual reel. Since there are
far more virtual stops than actual stops, some of the actual stops will
be linked to more than one virtual stop.
Computer systems have made slot machines a lot more adaptable, players
can simply press a button to play a game, rather than pull the handle.
For the manufacturers
and slot proprietors, one of the main advantages of the computer system
is that they can easily configure how often the machine pays out (how
loose or tight it is)
