Slots Playing Strategies
Many
question what kind of playing strategies
could be devised for a completely random
game. No slots playing strategy will
guarantee a winning session. However, the
player who follows some simple playing rules
will stretch out his bankroll and be better
off in the long run. Other than there are
some money management strategies that will
help you stay in the game longer.
Basic slots Strategy
1. Seek out the highest payout possible:
This may seem obvious, but many
players disregard this dictum. There can be
a difference of 10% or more in the payback
percentage offered by the same slots machine
located in a casino in Detroit versus a
casino in North Las Vegas. The player has a
far better chance where general payback
percentages are greater.
2. Seek out the higher pay machines: Slots
managers generally place higher paying
machines in high traffic/high visibility
areas. This is so that people will notice
the machine paying off and be inclined to
try their own luck. Be careful, however.
Slots managers may place loose machines in a
high visibility area like an elevated
carousel where everyone can see winning
pulls. Players will assume that all the
machines on a carousel are loose. Slots
managers are generally several steps ahead
of players, it is their business, after all.
They will mix their tight slots in the same
carousel as their loose slots.
3. Join the player's club and always use
your player's card: Use of a players card
has no effect on the outcome of the pull. It
can, however, help you get some of your
money back. Many casinos offer a "cashback"
program that gives the player back a
percentage of their total play.
Additionally, all casinos offer comps. Take
advantage of these offers, join the player's
club and always use your card.
4. Play maximum coins at all times: Payback
percentages are calculated to include the
jackpot amounts. Jackpots, generally, are
only paid on maximum coin pulls. If you play
at less than maximum coin, your payback will
be less than maximum. 5. Seek out single
payline machines: These machines are less
expensive to play. Your money will last
longer, and your chances of winning a big
jackpot, will be greater on a single payline
machine.
6. Play only two coin or three coin
machines: Once again, your money will last
longer on a two coin max coin machine than
on a three coin max coin machine. You will
be able to play longer and be in the running
for a jackpot longer.
7. Have a Money Management and Playing
Strategy set up BEFORE you even get into the
casino: Going into a casino without a money
management or playing strategy is like
trying to build a house without a set of
plans. It is a prescription for disaster.
8. Stay away from progressive slots: Payouts
on progressives are much lower than on
regular slots machines. For the casual
player, they are a bad bet.
9. Use the Play Through Betting Method: As
part of your plan, only bet with the amount
you planned to bet that session. If your
session plan is to bet $200, then play the
$200 through the machines, and no more.
Pocket whatever wins you have generated off
the original bet and end the session. Do not
play off the credit meter. |
