It’s a common myth that slot machines are the
worst gamble in a casino. The truth is that
making bad bets at the craps table or blackjack table can
give far worse odds than any
slot machine. The odds you get when playing slots are
similar to those for roulette.
Another commonly held belief is that a slot machine that
just gave a big payout won’t pay out
again for a while. Actually, statistically speaking, the
odds are the same for every spin and every
spin is completely random and independent of all past
spins. So there’s no way to predict the
next spin and a jackpot is just as likely to be hit right
after the last one was hit as it is after a
thousand dry spins
Strategies
Most slot machines reward you for playing the maximum
number of coins. For example the
jackpot may pay 2000 coins with 2 coins played, but 4000
coins when 3 coins are played.
If you don't feel comfortable playing the maximum coins
you might consider moving down to a
machine that accepts lower-value coins so you can play
the maximum. For example instead of
playing one coin at a dollar machine, play the maximum
number of coins at a quarter machine.
Some online casinos let you play for nickels (Lasseters
Casino has some of the lowest betting
limits starting from 1¢.
Play at casinos that advertise the best payout
percentages. These casinos are eager for your
business are willing to reward you with better payouts.
The build-in payouts for slots games
are different in each casino for each slot game. Some of
the casinos pays out well over 99%
for some slots (e.g. Zodiac Casino) while others rip up
to 10% on each spin! Check out our
payouts page to find casinos with the highest payout
percentages for Slots.
If you’re playing a progressive machine, remember
that you'll probably have to bet the
maximum number of coins to be eligible to win the big
jackpot. You may find the largest
currently available jackpot at our Jackpots page.
Always play the maximum bet. If a machine will take a
bet of five quarters, place the five-quarter
bet. This gives you the best odds of winning long-term if
you get a good hand.
If you like to play slots, Always look for a 98% or
higher payout with a progressive jackpot.
