Important Tips for Slot Players (2)

Never play the machine right next to someone who is winning. If the winner’s slot is loose, the machines on either side will be tight. Of course, the winner’s machine may just be a moderate payer that turned hot, but you don’t know that for certain.

Stay with a hot machine. Never leave a machine that just paid a big jackpot. By definition, it is a hot machine that could continue to pay out very nicely. Don’t abandon the machine unless it has not paid anything for six con¬secutive spins.

Observe other players who are winning. Watch players who are winning regularly and keep an eye (and ear) out for sudden jackpot winners. For any number of reasons, these people may occasionally leave while their machines are still hot. If you see that happen (and your machine is cold), move over to the other machine before someone else gets there. Why would a person leave a hot machine? Many slot players think a machine turns cold after paying a big jackpot. Or maybe they have a dinner reservation or tickets for a show. If the machine is still in a hot cycle, their loss is your gain.

Abandon a cold machine. Don’t throw good money after bad. If, after six spins, the machine has paid out very little, abandon it. If available, move over to the slot right next to it. Tight and loose machines are often placed side by side.

Never leave a machine that owes you money. Sometimes when you hit a big jackpot, an attendant has to make the payoff, or sometimes during a payoff, the machine’s hopper runs out of coins. Occasionally a machine mal¬functions and you can’t redeem your credits, or the bill acceptor gets hung and eats your Franklin without giving you credits. Stay with the machine no matter how long it takes for an attendant or mechanic to arrive. If you leave the machine, you will have trouble claiming what is rightfully yours.

Don’t forget to press the CASH OUT button. Most machines accu¬mulate credits as you play, and you must press the CASH OUT button to convert the credits into coins. Even if you have just won a hand-paid jackpot, before leaving the machine, press the CASH OUT button and be sure the credit meter reads zero. If it doesn’t, call an attendant because the machine may need a hopper fill, or the coin mechanism may be jammed. If you are distracted when you leave your machine and forget to cash out, someone else will get to enjoy your winnings.

And finally, remember the cardinal rule of slot play:
QUIT WHEN YOU ARE AHEAD, BUT NEVER QUIT WHILEYOU ARE WINNING!

The truly enjoable gambling can be only in a reliable online casino, like the one we recommend.

Important Tips for Slot Players (1)

The tips below are to help you be a more lucky slot player, try using them in free slots casinos where you can practice your skills before playong for real money.

Be sure to always insert your slot club card. In some casinos, using your card can effectively increase the payback of the machine you are playing by as much as one percent. You haven’t joined the slot club? If you’ve read the section on slot clubs, you will know that there is no down side.
Play only what your bankroll can handle. When you arrive at a gam¬bling resort, you should first ascertain what denomination of machine you should be playing. To help you determine this, the following table shows how much bankroll is needed for a two-, three-, or five-coin bet in each denomina¬tion, assuming eight spins per minute and a 90 percent payout rate:
Hourly Cost of Playing a Slot Machine

2 COINS 3 COINS 5 COINS
Nickel machine        $5 per hour $7 per hour $12 per hour
Quarter machine     $24 per hour $36 per hour $60 per hour
Dollar machine        $96 per hour $144 per hour $240 per hour

Next, decide how many hours you would like to play over the course of your stay. For example, assume you start with a bankroll of $600 and would like to play an average of five hours a day for three days. That is a total of fifteen playing hours. Dividing fifteen hours into $600 gives a rate of $40 per hour. Thus, you should not play anything more costly than a three-coin quarter machine. Of course, in actuality, you may win more or lose more than the 90 percent payback would indicate, but at least you have a reasonable starting point.
When you insert coins, be sure you get what you pay for. Like any equipment with mechanical components, slot machines are subject to con¬siderable wear and tear. This is especially true of the coin mechanism. After handling hundreds of thousands of coins, the mechanism will malfunction sooner or later. Your best protection is to observe the glass and the paylines as you insert each coin to be sure the correct sections light up, showing that they are properly activated. If you hit a winning combination that doesn’t pay because only two of your three coins registered, you are out of luck. If one of your coins doesn’t register, be sure to wave down an attendant or press the CHANGE button and wait for someone to arrive. Don’t spin the reels before the situation is rectified.
Play one machine at a time. Slot managers know that some people like to play two slots simultaneously, so they usually flank a loose machine with tight ones on both sides. At best, you will win from a loose machine only to lose your winnings to a tight one; at worst, you will lose to two tight machines. Two loose machines are never knowingly placed alongside each other.

Multiple pay lines

Both traditional reel-spinning slots and newfangled video machines offer mul¬tiple payline games, which can pay on dozens of different lines. These lines may appear as straight or zigzag patterns on the screen. Each line bet you make — and you can make multiple selections — corresponds to one line on the screen: up, down, or diagonal.
If you want to play just one line, you can still bet one coin, but if the machine displays a winner on one of the lines you didn’t bet, you don’t win. Multiple paylines are very common on lower-denomination machines, such as the penny and nickel machines that are popping up all over the casino floor.

Cashout tickets

Coin-operated slot machines are quickly disappearing from casinos as the new paper ticket technology, called TITO (ticket-in, ticket-out), takes hold. This change has revived penny and nickel slots because gamblers don’t have to carry rolls of coins and a $20 win doesn’t require hauling 400 coins to the cashier’s cage.
TITO also cuts down overhead and employee costs for casinos because they no longer have the hassle of refilling machines with thousands of pounds of coins. Here’s another important feature for the casino: Players can spin more reels per hour on a coinless machine because they don’t have to stop and feed coins into the slot. The result? Higher profit. Talk about a win-win for the casino!
TITO slot machines accept both cash and machine tickets to start play, so there’s no need for a coin hopper (metal bin to catch coins). For psychological effects, however, the machines still provide that irresistible sound of clinking coins when a player hits a jackpot (that lovely Dink! Dink! Dinkl as if real coins were pouring through the trough).
The ticket also gives you, the player, more flexibility. For example, if you’ve played six or eight spins on a free slots machine without hitting anything, you can move to another machine by cashing out (pressing the cash/credit button). The machine prints a new ticket with your remaining credit balance so you can take it to another machine, even one that uses a different denomination. After you’re done playing, redeem your ticket at the cashier’s window.
Don’t throw away or lose your ticket — make sure you cash it in before you leave. Some tickets are valid for up to six months. Just be sure to turn it in before it expires. Casinos earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on the revenue from unclaimed tickets (even though most of them are under $1).
