Beating Casino presents 13 must know tips if you play the slots
Whether you play live or online casino people just love to play slot machines
In some countries like the U.S. Slot machines are the most played casino games because they're fun
they don't require any difficult strategy and you can win a lot of money investing very little
Odd on slot machines aren't unchanging
So there's nothing you can do legally that will change the outcome
few have tried in the past to scam and cheat the game, untill they got caught, arrested and imprisoned
Still there are approaches, tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of the games having fun and winning money
In this video, we will cover 13 do's and dont's you must know if you wish to play slot machines. So let's begin
Tip #1. Higher denomination slots have higher payback percentages
This was true when three-reel games ruled the slot floors and it's true today when the large majority of the games are video slots
Dollar slots yield a higher payback percentage than quarter slots, which pay more than nickel slots
Which pay more than penny slots and you get the general idea
Still it doesn't mean everyone should rush out and play dollar slots
There are other factors beyond payback percentage to determine which slot you should play, like entertainment value and what is it you want from the game?
Playing higher-denomination games means bigger bets and more risk. So, if you're betting $3 on a three-coin dollar slot that pays
95% your average losses will be more money
than if you're betting 40 cents on a 40-line 1-cent game that pays 86%.
Tip #2. If you choose to play progressive slots, make sure your bet enough to be eligible for the jackpots
On progressive slot machines, a percentages of each wager is added to the jackpot or jackpots.
Three-reel slot machines usually have a single progressive jackpot on the top payoff, and you must bet maximum coins to be eligible.
On a three-coin dollar slot machines, for example
You can't win the progressive if you bet only one or two coins. Instead, landing the top jackpot
combination on the payline brings a reduced payoff at a fixed amount.
On video slots, progressive jackpots usually are multi-tiered
anywhere from two to twelve progressive levels have been offered.
Typical is a four tiered progressive with levels labeled mini, minor, major and grand or bronze, silver, gold and platinum
or anything similar. On some video slots, all players are eligible for the jackpot regardless of bet size. On others,
you must make a separate bet to be be jackpot eligible.
The Jackpots are the main events of the progressives, and aside from those jackpots, the games usually pay less than other games.
So, if you're going to play a progressive slot machine
Make sure you bet the necessary amount in order to be jackpot eligible.
If you don't want to bet that much, it's better to play a different slot game.
Tip #3. Choose slot games that fit your goals and playing personality
Ask yourself
Are you looking for slot games that give you maximum jackpot opportunities, games extend play with frequent small wins or something in between?
2 Three-reel games put more emphasis on their top jackpots, but have a lower hit frequency with more losing spins
They give you the best chance to win big but also the best chance to lose fast
In video slots with picking bonuses, you touch the screen to pick gift box, restaurant dishes
alien creatures or other game icons to reveal your bonuses.
Video slots that feature pick'em bonuses usually have high hit frequencies with many small wins that give you extended play,
but a lesser chance at a big jackpot.
Video slots that feature free spins as their main bonus events, usually fall between the three-reel games and the pick'em games
in both volatility and the chance at a big win.
During free spins you make no additional bets and can win anything up to the top jackpot.
However, it's also possible to win nothing on free spins
It's up to you to decide where to find the most value. In jackpot chances, in the player-participation opportunity of pick'em bonuses
or in the hit-and-miss nature of free spins.
Tip #4. Always play within your budget and be willing to lower your bets or even stop playing if you hit a limit.
Let's be honest as we're not kids anymore. In many sessions on slot machines you will lose money
And there's nothing you can do to change that
Sometimes you will win and even win big, so enjoy those times when they come.
But, never bet money you can't afford to lose, and be sure you're playing games that fit your bankroll, because the games should be fun,
so bet responsibly. As a basic rule of thumb,
You're gambling bankroll should cover 250 bets to give you a 90% chance of lasting 3 hours.
Here's a breakdown of recommended bankrolls for a 90% chance of 3 hours without spending it all in some common configurations:
Whether you decide to play at a land-based casino or an online casino with $200, you can't afford to play dollar slots.
If you decide you want to try them anyway
and find yourself losing a quick $100, be prepared to either walk away or drop to penny slots with the rest of the money.
Remember, that slot machine odds are unchanging, and that they are the same on every spin.
Tip #5. Start small to win big, or "prime the pump"
Prime the pump bettors assume the wins won't come right away
That is why they choose to start with small bets and work their way up, hoping to be betting big when the wins come.
The truth is, you're as likely to win early as later on, and starting small will miss some winners.
The payback percentage will be the same as if you'd bet the same amount on every spin.
Chuck Flick, a slot player who tested many systems, tried priming the pump by stepping up his bets in a regular pattern. In 5 trials
he had 4 losing sessions and 1 winner. This is a normal outcome even if you're not starting small.
Tip #6. Play machines at the ends of rows
The theory states, that machines at the ends of rows are visible to passers-by
and casinos want those other customers to see slot players winning.
However, in modern casinos, games of the same type in a row usually have the same payback percentage.
Tip #7. Scouting the machines that pay big
Some players like to play slot machines that have made big payouts, figuring they're hot machines.
Others avoid those games, figuring they're due to go cold.
The opposite applies, too. Some players figure cold machines are duds. Others think they're due to get hot.
In reality, all streaks are just blips on the radar to machines that yield a normal payback percentage over hundreds of thousands of plays.
Machines are never "due" to go hot or cold,
and recent paybacks do not offer any clue as to how a machine will perform for you.
Again, remember the rule: Odds on slot machines are unchanging. There's no such thing as a hot or cold machine.
Tip #8. Looking for near misses
Scouting near misses means looking for games with jackpot symbols on the reels or screen, but just short of a winning combination.
If you're in the right frame of mind,
scouting can add a little intrigue to choosing a game, but near misses aren't really any indication of what's to come.
This means that near misses give no indication of future outcomes.
They can add a little interest to the games, but they can't change your outcomes or lead you to a winning machine.
Now it's time to go over the don'ts. What was done and you shouldn't do or try
Tip #9. String theory. When all slot machines were three-reel games with coin slots,
cheaters worked a scam in which they tied affixed a string to a coin. They would drop the coin into the slot
trip the mechanism that gave them credit to play, then use the string to pull the coin back out.
One woman in Nevada was caught using a coin on a brightly colored piece of yarn,
easy to spot from a distance. Others were less obvious, but those who were caught were prosecuted.
Manufacturers designed more secure coin acceptance devices to make this cheat impossible. Today,
most slots accept only paper currency or tickets and no longer have slot heads.
Tip #10. Slug it out
Fake coins, or slugs, were a problem for casinos as long as slot machines accepted coins.
Some were no more than a rounded piece of metal, with no design. Others were more elaborate, and counterfeiters in the eastern U.S.
stamped slot tokens that looked much like those used in New Jersey.
As long the metal and manufacturing costs were a lot less than the value of a real slot coin, there was incentive for cheaters.
Coin recognition software grew progressively more sophisticated to combat the problem. Tip #11. Magnetic Force.
Some slot machines in the 1960s and 1970s were vulnerable to ordinary magnets.
Cheaters used magnets to make the reels float freely instead of stopping on a spin.
The scam artists would remove the magnet only when the reels had aligned in a winning combination.
More sophisticated were top-bottom devices, used into the 1980s. The top was a metal rod
that was bent on one end, and the bottom a strand of wire.
The wire would be inserted in the coin slot to hit a metal contact, and then the top would be jammed in the coin slot.
The combination completed a circuit that would activate a coin dispenser and send free coins pouring into the slot tray.
Protection had to be built into the games to shield vital parts from magnets and to make it impossible to hit contacts and create
an electrical circuit.
Tip #12.
Inside job.
This scam was pulled on so-called "Big Bertha" slots in the 1990s. Big Bertha's are bigger and wider than other slots.
A team was arrested in Nevada after they crowded around a Big Bertha.
The front of the machine was opened, a woman climbed inside and the machine was mostly shut. She then rigged results.
With team members blocking view, everything looked normal to casual passers-by, but security was alert enough to stop the cheats.
Tip #13. Cheat by chip
A software engineer for the Nevada Gaming Commission programmed chips that functioned normally in slot machines, except those in the know
could take advantage of a cheat code.
When the cheats inserted specific numbers of coins in a specific order, the machine would pay out.
The engineer was arrested.
