It seems like everyone wants to tell you a slot machine secret to
winning. If you've made it this far then you already know there are no
slot machine secrets. The computers random number generator determines a
win or loss.
With that in mind, there are sensible tips to playing slot machines
to reduce your chances of walking away from a casino flat broke.
Tip 1.- No matter what tip or strategy you use to play slot
machines, set a limit to how much you are going to spend before you
ever begin to play. Once you reach that limit, quit. Do not keep
feeding a machine in hopes of recouping any loss.
Tip 2.- Know the slot machine payout schedule. Two identical
slot machines can have different payouts. Play the one with the best
payout.
Tip 3.- Look for advertised slot machines offering 96-98%
paybacks. Casino's usually have a few banks or carousels of high
percentage payback slots.
Tip 4.- Play slots with your bankroll and not from the
credits meter. The reason is not that it makes a difference in
winning, but any winnings will increase your credits. This way, when
you run out of money or want to leave the casino, any credits you earn
are your winnings. If you spend all your money and use up all your
credits, you walk away with nothing.
Tip 5.- If your going to play progressive slot machines,
play the maximum bet. The odds on progressive slot machines are
higher, so when and if you do win, you want the highest payout
possible.
Tip 6.- Join the casino players club. Once you receive your
players card, always play with it in the machine. The casino rewards
players for time and money spent. Even if you don't hit the jackpot,
you may still receive free casino comps like meals, discount hotel
rooms, event tickets and more that are worth money too.
Tip 7.- Try to avoid slot machines with 4 or more reels
until you have built up a bankroll. Odds on 4 or more reel machines
are higher than the standard 3 reel slot machines.
Tip 8.- Play the slot machines you can afford and only spend
money you can risk losing. $1 slots payout more over time than 25.
But of course, there's no absolute guarantee you
will win more playing a $5 slot machine over a $1 slot machine.
Tip 9.- Divide your bankroll into the number of slot
sessions you plan on playing. If you are vacationing at a casino for 5
days and brought $500, spend $100 a day. You will enjoy your time at
the casino over the course of your vacation more compared to blowing
your wad all in one sitting and have no money left for the remainder
of your casino visit. People who do not do this are those who end up
maxing out their credit cards.
Tip 10.- Walk away when your losing and become irritated.
Playing slot machines are fun.and should be fun. When your not
having fun, it's time to go find something else to do. You can always
come back later.

The picture above is a payout schedule from a "Red White and Blue"
slot machine.
As you can see, if you were to hit the jackpot betting one coin would
win you 2,000 coins, 4,000 coins for a two coin bet and 10,000 coins for
the maximum bet of 3 coins.
losing slot players will not pay attention to payout schedules, where
as smart players who win at slots do. If you walk by the above machine
and the first thing you notice is 10,000 coins, you might as well forget
about becoming a serious slot player.
The key to win playing slot machines is to understand the payout
schedule. You should play a slot machine that offers the highest payout
for lower winning combinations, not just play a machine because it has
the highest jackpot.
Reasons for doing so, are the simple fact that your chances of
winning the large jackpot are a lot lower than winning smaller payouts.
By walking around the casino, you should look at all slot machine payout
schedules before you begin to play.
For instance, say you decide to only play quarter slots and see two
identical machines. When you compare the payout schedules, machine 1
offers 25 coins for the lowest payout and machine 2 offers 50 coins.
Which would you choose?
