How to Win Playing Slot Machines

  While it is true that these machines do pay out randomly there are in fact steps you can take to dramatically increase your chances of coming home a winner.  To increase your chances of winning at the Slots you will need to 

• Choose the right casino 
• Choose the right machine 
• Join Slot Clubs
• Manage your money properly

  One thing that is important to for you to understand is the concept of payout rates.  The Payout rate is a number that tells you how much you can expect to win, on average, out of a machine over the long run.  On a machine that is set to pay out at a rate of 95%; for every $100 you put in you can expect to get back $95 from the machine ( in other words you would lose $5). These rates are averaged out over time, and of course anything is possible in the short run.

  Payout rates  are set by the casinos themselves.  One casino may set the payout rate at 95% on their machines while the casino across the street may set their machines to pay out at only 85%. Before you leave home you should have an idea which casinos offer higher payout rates on their machines and where you want to play.

After you find the best casinos to play in; the next thing to do is to find the loosest machines.  Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a machine:

• In general the higher the denomination the better the machine will pay out.  Quarter Slots pay better than Nickel Slots, Dollar Slots pay better than Quarter machines, and so on.
• Casinos often like to place looser machines in areas that are highly visible or will attract attention or get people gambling.  Areas near change booths, coffee shops, bars, or elevated platforms are good areas to try.
• Tighter machines are generally placed near the Table Games or lines for shows.
• Sometimes you can ask a change person or cocktail waitress if they know which machines are hot.  If they give you good advice and you are winning, return the favor and give them a tip. Try to get their name and maybe they can help you the next time you visit.
• Always play maximum coin.  Unless the machine does not give a bonus for playing the maximum number of coins (most machines will); over the long run you will do better playing maximum coins because the jackpot bonus if figured into the payout rate for the machine.

  A slots program works just like a frequent flier program that the airlines use.  When you sign up for the Slot Club you will be given a player's card that can be inserted into  the slot machine.  That card will identify you as the player and allow the casino to keep track of how much money you have put into the machines.  The more money you spend the the more rewards you get.  Rewards (Called Comps in the casino business) will usually come in the form cash rebates, free or discounted meals, show tickets, and hotel rooms.  By participating in Slot Clubs you can cut the casino's advantage on you, and even turn a losing session into a winning one.

 Try Two Cupping

Most people have no concept of money management when they play the slots; they simply play until they run out of money. The best method of money management for the slots is to "two cup" it.  Simply do the following:

1. Get two cups.  Place all your coins in one cup (Let's say 100 coins in our example), leave the other cup empty.
2. Put all the coins (100) from the first cup through the machine.
3. After you have played all the coins through the machine, count how many coins the machine paid out.
4. If you have more coins than you started with (lets say you have 120 coins now), put the excess number of coins (20) in the second cup and place the original number (100) back into the first cup. The coins in the second cup are your guarantee, do not gamble with those coins.
5. If you have fewer coins than you began with, place all the coins in the first cup and begin again. If you have lost a large number of coins you may want to try another machine.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you are ready to leave or until you have no coins left in your first cup.

Using this method will allow you to maximize your enjoyment, maximize your chance of leaving the casino a winner, and at the very least limit your losses by providing you some guaranteed winnings you can take home with you.
