What You Need To Know Before You Hit The Slots

By Jenny Lupino


Slots have got to be the most dazzling and exciting game to play in a casino for those gamblers seeking a quick - or lasting, thrill. They are easy to play, and usually pay you out small amounts every couple of spins to keep you interested and hopeful in case the big win comes up. It must be the anticipation of wining so much money that keeps people playing the slots. There is no particular strategy for slot machines as they are purely a game of luck. No matter how you look at it, how you count the number of payouts or the number of spins between wins, there is just no system to predict when the next jackpot win will be. However, there a few tips you can stick to in order to maximize your winning potential and make the most of your slots experience.

The most important point to remember with slots is not only to know where to start, but when to stop! Slots can become so addictive that you never want to leave the machine in case you miss the big one that is going to change your life forever. For this very reason they are extremely popular games in casinos. As always when gambling, the first strategy to have is the one that governs how much money you are going to gamble with - in other words, what is your limit, what can you afford to lose? That is one strategy you have to stick to. Don't give in and play recklessly because the probable outcome will be you losing everything - this is predictable!

The fact that slot machines do not require much brain work or decision making compared to Roulette and Blackjack for example adds to their attraction. And slots offer higher payouts than the other games, but at the same time, there is less of a chance of them paying out the big one. So for a twenty cent risk, you could win millions of dollars - who can deny the attraction that offers? Most experts also recommend playing on the highest denomination machine as naturally that will have the highest potential payout. However, if you cannot afford that, then rather pick a machine that fits in with your budget, and try and play the maximum number of bets for every spin. This obviously increases your chances of winning. The fact is that if you play on a $1 slot, you can get 95% of your bet back; a quarter machine will give you 93% back, and a nickel slot would offer you 90% back.

Most regular slot players are members of a slot cub, so always have your slot club card with you - if you haven't got one, then it is advisable to join up. Slot clubs offer lots of benefits like bonus options and prizes, and tips on how to best play the slots - they also do not cost anything to join. Contrary to what some people might say, there is no way that this slot club card can cause you to win more than if you did not have one. That is a complete and utter fallacy. The slots hit the jackpot based on the Random Number Generator, so no one can predict or influence when it is going to happen. The magical slot strategy package that can tell you how to win at slot machines simply does not exist.

So you have you slot club card, you know what your gambling limit is and you are seated at your favorite machine, what's next? The advice here is to play slowly. Playing quickly will not guarantee you a quick win - in fact, the exact opposite will happen - you will lose very quickly! If you see that you are not winning, then slow down. And stick to one machine. In Poker you may play more than one Poker game at a time, but not with slots. You will simply become a victim of the house's edge. No matter how well or how successfully you are playing, a certain percentage of your money is going into the casino profits. So if you play more than one slot machine at a time, you are simply feeding more money into the casino profits.

It is said that slot machines with more than one line - multiline slots are 'looser' than one line slots - meaning that they pay out more frequently than the one line machines. With bonus features that enable wild cards to replace other symbols, scatter pay which increases your win, free spins and bonus games which give you more credits, the chances of you winning are greatly increased. For better chances of winning that elusive jackpot, choose 'tight' slot machines.

Taking everything that is written here into account, the single best basic strategy for coming out on top when playing slots is to use your own common sense. There is no hidden agenda or secret method to winning a jackpot. Slot machines are won by luck and nothing else. There is no way on earth than anyone can beat a random selection process. If you keep a record of all your wins and losses, you will not see any pattern emerging. If you win more at one machine than the other it is simply because you pressed the spin button at the right time on that machine - two seconds later and you would not have won. It's that simple. Above all, when playing slots, remember to have fun!
