Besting the Slot Machine

Do you have what it takes to win in a slot machine? Well, not to blow your bubble or anything but slot machines are on the top of the list of games relying on chances. Results are highly random and there is no honest-to-goodness technique that will work every time you face the machine. If you’ve heard somebody claiming otherwise, you’d be a fool to take his word for it.

Just so we are clear on this, I am not going to list down slot strategies. You are going to compete with the machine and slot machines are not exactly programmed to win even though there are times when it feels like that is what they are doing. Instead of trying so hard to outwit the machine, why don’t you focus on having fun with it? These are tips on how to go home with a smile on your face, and hopefully with money on your pockets, after an hour or two in the slot club.

It is advisable for anyone who is playing a game of chance to choose the game with a high payout. In the context of slot machines, look for those who have 95% or higher payouts. If you are only going to win two out ten games, you may as well win big.

As mentioned in the Ten Commandments of Gambling, expect to lose. However, let’s put a spin on it. Limit your losses. Before inserting nickels or tickets, or whatever it is that works for that slot machine in your neighborhood sports bar, set a perimeter for the night. For example, for Fridays, you only have to suffer ten losses. After that, you have to walk away. You can still be able to save some money for a bottle of your favorite beer to cool down and enjoy the rest of the night.

A slot machine does not care how many dollars you lose. It is not called the one-armed bandit for nothing. Since you are the one who have feelings and will likely be frustrated or even angry if you lose hundreds of dollars trying your luck, then you should know when to quit.

On the other hand, if you feel like Lady Luck is riding on your shoulder, by all means, don’t let anything stop your winning streak. You can even place a higher bet so that you could treat the whole gang afterwards.

The best way to play slot machines is to choose the machine which you are already familiar with. This is not the time to test the waters. Stick with the game you are good at and maximize your chances of winning. But if you are one of those people who have a streak of a daredevil, then do as you please. You won’t hear me say “I told you so” but I will wish you good luck.

Here’s how I look at it. Slot machines are games, with emphasis on games. It is supposed to be fun and carefree. The money is simply a cherry on top. If you are inserting quarters in slots solely for a quick return of investment then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. It will take out the entertainment value and you may find yourself kicking the machine if things do not go as well you envision it. If money’s what you need, go find a job. For cheap thrills seeker, this is the way to go.
