There is one way to almost guarantee yourself a good time, satiate your
appetite for slots, and possibly even come out ahead - and that's to enter
a slots tournament. Many casinos now offer promotional slots tournaments
for a fixed entry fee, which entitles you to participate in a multi-day
tournament event, enjoy free room and board at the casino hotel while the
tournament is in progress, and be wined, dined, and treated like the valued
customer you are by casino personnel. Not only that, your participation
gives you the opportunity to compete against other enthusiasts to win thousands
- even hundreds of thousands - of dollars in tournament prize money.
Most slots tournaments have a number of rounds in which contestants
are given the same amount of machines credits and told to play them
until the time is up or their machine credits run out. The contestant
with the most credits at the end of each round wins a substantial prize
and a spot in the final round. The top prizes are usually rewarded to
the top three finalists.
If you enjoy the thrill and excitement of playing slot machines, slots
tournaments may provide jus the advantage you need to come out ahead.
Because slot playing relies solely button quickly (to get as many chances
as you can to hit the jackpot in a limited amount of the time) and you
can also find tournaments that return the greatest share of your entrance
fee in prize money and room and board comps.

and the information in the last two sections to get a rough
idea of the machines you should be playing. For example, if you want
$1000 to last for four days of five hours play (20 hours total), that
means you can afford to lose $50 per hour. With average results (assuming
90% payout) and expected losses, you should be playing quarter machines
at three quarters per spin.
If you come up nickels in your calculations but want to play dollars,
give up some of your playing time in order to up the ante. Then, do
as you promised and quit playing when the money runs out!
For those of you who have the courage to play way beyond your means,
remember: there are more promising and lucrative ways for you to invest
your time and money. Dumping your savings into a slot machine, though
seemingly exciting and daring, will not resolve inner conflict, dissatisfaction
with your present situation, or any other business or personal problem
that may be temporarily numbed by the mindless exchange of coins. Set
realistic financial limits, and don't play Russian roulette with your
future.
