Win at Slots |
|
The Slot machine is
far and away the most seductive device on the casino
floor. They are fairly easy to play. You do not really
need to know anything to play a Slot. All you have to
do is put in your money, press a button and pray. Playing
Slots does not require too much skill nor does it require
too much brainpower. It is perfect for people who want
to take a shot at destiny. |
| |
Though Slot machines
are simple and easy to play, one should always remember
that you are playing against a machine. Different machines
have different requirements. So it is important to follow
few general checkpoints before you jump for the machine. |
-
Make sure you know what denomination
you are playing, before you play your first coin
or credit.
-
Always read the payback schedule
to see if the jackpot is available only for maximum
coins played. For instance, three jackpot symbols
might pay 100 coins for one, 200 coins for two,
but 1,000 coins for three. (This kind of machine
is termed a bonus multiplier. If all payoffs are
proportionate - 100 for one, 200 for two and 300
for three - it is simply a multiplier).
-
On simple multiplier, you can
choose to play any number of coins keeping in mind
that the more you play the bigger will be the payoff
on a hit. On bonus multiplier machines, always play
the maximum number of credits.
-
Some machines will payout on
certain symbols only. Referred to as Buy a Pay machines,
these pay on certain symbols only for specific number
of coins or credits played. You might get two-for-one
when you get a cherry but nothing when you hit three
bars because for that combination, you need two
coins.
-
You must play maximum number
of coins required to win while playing against a
progressive jackpot. There is no gambling letdown
as devastating as lining up all the jackpot symbols
and getting only a tiny amount of money when, had
you played those extra coins, you would have experienced
a windfall.
-
If you choose multi-line machines,
double check to see whether you have to play the
maximum number of coins to win the jackpot.
-
Develop patience and take your
time. Playing Slots is not a matter of speed. In
fact, the faster you play, the faster you will lose
if you do not hit something. Play at a reasonable
speed and enjoy yourself.
-
Do not panic and do not chase.
Stop the game if you begin to think you will never
get even or win. Choose another machine or quit
for the day. If you lose have your bankroll, move
down to a lower denomination. You can always move
up after you have recovered your losses.
-
Be practical. Do not play more
than you can afford to lose in one sitting. If you
have 25 dollars as a bankroll, you would be wise
to play the lowest denomination machine that requires
the fewest coins per pull. This will allow your
bankroll to stretch out over a longer period of
time.
-
Understand the psychology. A
casino attracts a multitude of players. Overall,
those players will leave some of their money behind.
A few will take money out. The amount taken out
by the winners is far and away offset by the amount
left behind by winners. Players hit jackpots all
the time and these jackpots come from the losses
of others.
-
Cash out. Slot machines are a
big gamble. When you get ahead, take the money.
