Payout percentages are the most commonly used form of differentiating slot machines, and the most often used form of advertising slots by the casinos. Many casinos offer "98% payback slots " or some other high number as their payback percentage. This is most often thought of as "98% of the total amount of money deposited into the machine will be returned to the player". People tend to think this means if they play through $100, they should expect to have $98 come back to them. This is a bit of a fallacy however, because the return percentage is a theoretical one based on an infinite timeline. This means if you were to keep playing the slots game forever, you would eventually have made back 98% of what you put in. Most people don't usually play long enough to hit a big jackpot however, and winning that jackpot is part of the calculated 98%. This means if you play and don't win big, chances are you're actual return percentage will be significantly lower.

What do I mean by traps? I mean slot machines that aren't entirely up front about what they offer you. The biggest trap by far is the full coins trap. There are many slot machines in Vegas that advertise great payback percentages and amazing jackpots, but they also advertise themselves as 'quarter slots ' or 'nickel slots ', which is a little misleading. The majority of these machines require you to play multiple coins in order to be eligible for some or any of its available jackpots. Many of them require that you are playing the maximum number of coins possible on the machine in order to be able to win the jackpot that probably convinced you to play it in the first place! So be very wary, you may find yourself in front of a machine that has three cars lined up in a row making you think you've won the grand jackpot, but no lights will flash, no sounds will erupt, if you only played one coin.

There are many, many myths around the Internet trying to convince you that the casinos in Las Vegas have masterminded the way they place their slots , with loose slots more visible than tight slots . You will undoubtedly read about how slot machines near the isles, on raised carousels, or near the entrances and exits pay out more and more often than other slots in the casino. The logic is based on the idea that the casino wants any winner on a slot machine to be seen by as many people as possible, convincing them to play too. While this may be a fairly logical assumption, it seems as though if it was true once in the past, it sadly no longer is. Recently Michael Shackleford of the wizard of odds has done some fairly systematic tests of casinos around Vegas and found no difference between the payouts on machines located randomly, and those in previously though of 'loose' spots.

A big mistake that a lot of people make when they first start playing slots
is neglecting to set a finite amount of money for each session of play. A session
of play could be a night, a day, an hour, or a week! However long you plan to
be playing slots you should always set a limit that you are willing to LOSE
and stick to it. Once you hit that limit DON'T GO OVER! Playing slots is a game
for Adults. If you don't have the self control and discipline to set a limit
and not spend over it then you don't deserve to play. That may sound harsh but
it's the truth. This is your livelihood your toying with, and if you're not
responsible with your money your livelihood could go down the drain. It happens
every day. So do yourself a favor and don't let it happen to you. Every time
you plan to visit a casino take the time to sit down and figure out how much
you can afford to lose. If you're going on a holiday then budget an amount for
the week. If you're just going for a night then budget an amount for the night.
There is no rule for how much is right, but the best way to think of it is,
how much you would spend on a normal night out, or a normal weekend outside
of the casino. If you would normally sped $100 out with friends outside of a
casino in a night, then set your casino limit for the night at $100. Once you
set this amount you can either do one of two things: you can sit down prior
to going to the casino and budget out how you're going to spend the money, in
other words on what games. The other way is to wait until you go to the casino
and just spend as you go. This method is a little more risky because it's easier
to lose track of how much you're spending. The best way to spend as you go is
to take out your entire bankroll for that evening as soon as you get to the
casino. Spend only that cash, then, when you run out you know for sure that
it's time to quit.
As an added money management tool some people like to actually keep a pen and
notepad with them throughout the night, and will actually record ho much money
they are spending on each game. When they win they write it down-when they lose
they write it down. Micromanaging your budget this way can be a very smart way
of deciding what slots games you want to play throughout your session. For instance
if you see that you are losing money a little faster then you normally would
on a certain progressive game, then you might consider switching to a flat top
game with fewer reels.
No mater how wealthy you are there is no excuse for playing slots without setting
a budget, even the richest Arab Sheiks have the good sense to set limits. If
you really like to play slots it's the only way to ensure you can continue to
play on into the future.
