The Standard deviation slots strategy is perhaps the most advanced of all slots
playing tactics. It involves using a mathematical equation to determine on what
spins the machine is most likely to yield a win. Although some people prefer
to use the precision of actual mathematical formulas in these strategies it
is not necessary, and with a little practice can be done quite quickly in your
head. Here are the steps to make the strategy work.
1. The 1st step is to choose a Slot machine, or game, that uses "Equal-Ratio"
play. This means any slots game that gives you the same payout percentage
for every level of play. For example, if you bet 4 dimes (40 cents) the jackpot
will be exactly 4 times the jackpot than if you had bet 1 dime. The standard
deviation strategy will only work on slot games that have this kind of payout
percentage structure.
2. The Standard Deviation strategy enables you to calculate the "standard
deviation" of the number of spins between wins. In order to accomplish
this, the player must bet with a minimum amount in order to establish, on average,
how many spins you must make before a win will happen. So have a pen and notepad
ready and play for a while. Record the number of spins you make before you get
a win. Make sure you repeat the cycle after every win about ten times. For instance,
if you spin 8 times and on the 9th spin you make a win you would write down
9.
3. Once you have about 10 wins recorded take the average of all the numbers
and you have the standard deviation for that game. So if you find that the
wins happen about 10 to 20 spins apart the standard deviation would be 15. You
would then know that in order to maximize your chances of winning for that game
all you have to do is continually bet minimum amounts for 14 spins, then on
the 15th you would bet the maximum. It might not work out every time, but it
will give you the edge you need to ensure you are playing with the maximum possibility
of winning.
NOTE: For the purposes of simplicity the exact formula for the standard Deviation
strategy is not given here. Doing it on the cuff and in your head is a much
more convenient way and is still just as accurate to produce a marked increase
in your number of wins. Just remember it takes time. The longer you stay playing,
the bigger the increase in the number of wins will be.
Also it is important to keep in mind that for best results you should employ
this strategy only on those slots games with the highest payout percentage.
If you have carefully selected a slot machine with a payout percentage around
98 percent, you have the ability to create a slot game with an ultra high payout
percentage. Combined with careful game selection the standard deviation strategy,
this is an extremely powerful way to get the most wins.
One Play Strategies
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.

Slot machines fall into two categories,
Straight slot machine.- Slot machines that have set jackpot
payouts according to the machines' payout schedule.
For example.
If you are playing a straight quarter slot machine depending on it's
payout schedule, winning a jackpot by betting one quarter would give you
200 coins, a two quarter bet wins 600 coins and the max bet would win
you a jackpot of 2000 coins.
Progressive slot machine.- These slot machines have jackpots
which are tied into a bank of machines (more than one machine on a
row), a carousel of machines (group of machines on a round platform)
or even tied into other machines at different casinos.
Progressive slot machines will have an electronic board attached to
the top of the machine that displays the progressive jackpot. Each of
the slot machines in the progressive group, when played, increases the
progressive jackpot.
For example,
Say you walk into a casino and see a bank of "Wheel of Fortune"
progressive slot machines. You can see they are progressive by noticing
the payout schedule has progressive listed as the top jackpot.
Each time someone plays any machine on this progressive bank, the
electronic board displaying the jackpot increases.
When a player hits the progressive jackpot, they win whatever dollar
amount is listed on the electronic board.
Things to remember about progressive slots.
-The odds of winning are usually about 2% more. This really does not
matter since winning is a matter of luck anyway.
-Most importantly, in order to win the progressive jackpot you must
bet the maximum bet. If you don't feel comfortable betting the maximum,
I would chose a straight slot rather than playing a progressive slot
machine.
Even though the odds of winning on a progressive slot may only be a
tad bit more, there would be nothing worse then to be betting one coin
and hit the progressive jackpot, only to win a few hundred instead of
the thousands of dollars the max bet might return.

Magic Slots is a magician themed game that looks completely different than all the other slots offered at Playtech casinos.
And while all Playtech slots can be played pretty fast - this one's even faster.
What's frustrating about this game is the lack of smaller reel combinations coming up. There really aren't that many
on the paytable to start with - so you can play through a lot of games without hitting much better than three bars.
Still, this game is really all about the jackpot - which at the time of this writing is huge.!
There's also a bonus game that's designed to keep you spinning - getting 3 magic wands opens up a bonus game. Not
3 wands in one spin mind you - but rather in a sitting. Each time a wand lands on a reel it's added to a
'collection' on the side - and once you've gotten three the game begins.
Sadly, we never managed to get 3 wands in a sitting - so just what the bonus game is, we're not sure. But as wands
appear to be few and far between, it's probably pretty good :)
