Tricks for Winning Slots

Many people love to play slot machines. Moreover, why wouldn’t they? Slot machines look like carnival rides. They play fun music. They are very colorful. They have bright lights to attract your attention. You can put just a little bit of money in, and you have the potential for winning millions of dollars in cold, hard, cash.

However, like everything else at casinos, there are tricks to the trade. You need to know that more people play slot machines at a casino than any other game. Casinos also make more money at the slot machines than any other game as well, and the odds of you winning are long. However, long does not mean any chance at all. If you have a plan in place to beat the machines, you have a far better chance at beating the one-armed bandit. Not sure where to start, or how to come up with a plan to beat the system? We have some ideas for you.

Do Your Research

Do Your ResearchExperts say if you really want to beat the slots, you never go into a casino cold. That means you need to do your research on the casino as well as the slot machines you want to play on. You can research the machines in several ways. For example, each slot machine has to have a payout table on it. You need to look for it—some machines have the table on the side, while others show the table before the game begins on the screen. You might want to look at websites as well. There are also specialty magazines and newspapers that sell information about slot payouts, or they make the information available online. It may be worth your while to join a few of these websites to get some insider tips.

In general, slot machine percentages can range anywhere from 80% to 98%. You will want to pick a slot machine that has the highest percentage of payouts in order to increase the chance you hit it big.

Know Your Limitations

You will need to make sure that before you step foot inside a casino, you know your limitations. We are not talking about physical limitations; we are talking about the amount of money you are willing to lose. Of course, no one walks into the casino with the hopes that they will lose everything. However, you need to be aware that whatever money you bring in with you, you need to be willing to lose it.

Most experts say that you need to decide for yourself two limits. First, set a lose limit for yourself, and stick to it. This is the amount of money you can lose before you stop playing for the day. In order to make sure you stick to your limit, experts say that you leave your credit and debit cards at home and carry cash.

In addition to your spending limit, gambling experts also suggest you set a double my money limit as well. While the urge will be for you to keep going, experts say that is not the smartest move. Instead, once you have doubled your money that you brought in with you, leave the casino, and take all that money with you. If you are staying in the area for a while, you can always come back the next day to try your luck again. However, you will only want to bring in the amount you started with the day before.

Planning for the Long Range

Slot Planning for the Long Range

If you are on vacation, and you plan to stay for a considerable period, you will need to make a plan for spending that money before you ever walk into a casino. Casinos are large time suckers. They plan it that way. The longer you stay in a casino, the more money you might lose. For that reason, figure out ahead of time how much money you will spend per day, and how much time you want to gamble. Stick to the schedule, whether you are winning or losing. Because casinos do not have clocks on the gaming floors, take your phone with you, and set an alarm when you need to stop gambling.

Slot Clubs Are Your Friend

Many casinos have slot clubs if they are land-based. If you are playing at an online casino, they usually offer free spins or free money for new signups. Both kinds of slot clubs offer cash prizes and bonus spins for loyal customers, so make sure you sign up. That way, you can spend more of the casino’s money without losing your own. Also, be sure that you use your club card, or you sign in each time you play to make sure you are getting all the money you are entitled..

Be Smart about Your Machine Choice

Do not play the first machine you come to. Instead, be sure that first, you choose a machine that has a smaller payout. The smaller the payout, the bigger your chances are to win. Once you have decided on a machine to play, check the maximum jackpot on each machine. One of the tricks of the trade is to put a machine with a 2000 credit payout right next to a machine of the same name with a 10,000-credit payout. You will want to play the machine that offers you the maximum amount of credits to win for the same amount of money.

In addition to playing smaller payout machines, you will want to play the highest denomination machines you can afford, because these machines have the highest percentages for winners. For example, if you can afford to play the dollar machines, you should. The chances of you winning on the dollar slots are greater than on the quarter slots.

A Word about Progressive Slots

Slot winningEveryone knows that progressive slot machines are the machines with the largest payouts. In addition, with good reason, because those are the jackpots that get your name in the paper. For example, a man puts in $100 on a progressive slot—and won $40 million. Everyone wants to win that prize. If you even want a chance of winning at a progressive slot machine, you have to play the maximum credits each time you spin. One of the biggest tricks on a progressive slot machine is that many players play the machines without ever realizing without a maximum bet, you have no chance to win the grand prize.

Here are a couple of tips for playing progressive slots. First, make sure that you are saving a little of your money back just for progressive slot play. Once you have played the other slot machines, go try your hand at the progressive slots. Second, make sure you check out the progressive slot machines ahead of time. Just like the other slot machines, each progressive slot has different payout percentages and winning jackpot amounts. You want to find the machine that has the highest payout percentage as well as the biggest jackpot amount possible.

If you go into a casino with a plan, chances are you will be able to find a slot machine that suits you, play for a period, and come out with more money than you came in with. That is all any gambler can possibly aim for. Good luck and happy playing!
