Useful Tips for Slot Machines

Whether you are a newbie or an experienced slot machine player, the following tips will always prove helpful. These tips are suitable for slot machines on land base casinos and for online slots machines as well.

Don’t Forget to Use Your Player’s Card

The most important piece of advice for all casino players is never to forget to use their player’s club card. Your card is not only useful to earn you a lot of different comps, like free meals and drinks, free accommodation and entrance to different shows, but it will also offer you cash back, according to the amount you have spent playing. If you forget to use it, you just miss out on some generous offers. There are some players who deprive themselves of all these offers because they believe that using their player’s card, changes the way a slot machine pays out. This is a big mistake and the whole idea is just a myth.

Pay Attention to the Pay Tables

You will be able to find out the hit frequency of a machine by reading its pay tables. As far as hit frequency is concerned, there are two kinds of slot machines. A low hit frequency machine gives a winning combination about every ten spins, but it pays out more money each time. On the other hand, a high hit frequency machine gives a winning combination at about every three or four spins, but the wins it returns are considerably smaller. It’s up to you to decide which kind of machine is best suited for you.

Progressive Machines Need Maximum Coins

A Progressive jackpot is formed when a certain percentage of the money people bet goes to a pool and waits for the big winner. Machines from several casinos are linked together to form this top jackpot. In order to win this kind of jackpot, you need to play with the maximum number of coins. If you play with fewer coins and you hit the jackpot you will only get a very small percentage of it. There are several cases of people who have hit the jackpot but couldn’t get the full amount, as they hadn’t played with the maximum coins.

Slot Light Indicators

When you enter the slots area in a casino, you will see several lights on the machines. The lights on the top are called “candles,” while the ones at the bottom of the machine tell you about the coins you can use on the specific machine. Red means it is a nickel machine, yellow means it is a quarter machine, and blue means it is a dollar machine.

Keep your Profits

Always be careful with your money and don’t play back all your winnings. Especially if you hit the jackpot and you want to continue playing, put the largest percentage of your money aside, and go on playing with only a small amount. It is a pity to be so lucky, and then return all the money you won to the casino. However, the best advice after winning a substantial amount of money, is to stop playing, have a drink or a nice snack and enjoy the feeling of being a lucky winner!

Keep track of your Bets

If you are a regular casino goer, you’d better keep a record of your bets, winnings and losses. This will prove useful if you win an amount of money over $1,200 and you will have to fill in a tax form. If you keep a record, you will be able to deduct your losses in order to offset your winnings.

No Need to Rush

There are some players who think that playing on more than one machine at the same time, will bring them more profits. Nothing can be more wrong than this, as the house edge you expose yourself to is double, and eventually you will lose your money faster. And there is no need for faster and faster hitting of the spin button. Playing on slot machines is fun. Slow down and enjoy the game!

Money Management

Make sure that all your expenses are covered before you decide to play your money at the casino. Don’t play with the expectation of winning in order to cover your expenses, and never borrow in order to play. One more good point to have in mind is not to bet all the amount you have available on one game and in one session. Take breaks, choose a different game and bet a small amount each time. Don’t take too many risks if you can’t afford to lose.

Cash Out Your Winnings

If you are lucky enough to have won a certain amount of money when you finish playing on slot machines, go straight to the cage to cash out your winnings. Don’t leave the coins you have won on tables, and don’t go round holding them in your hands as you may spill them or lose them. If you were playing on a coinless machine, and have received your payment in the form of a voucher ticket, be careful not to lose it, and don’t leave it anywhere as it may be stolen. Take it straight to the cage to cash it out. And something else that you may not know. Ticket vouchers have an expiration date, so remember to cash them in before they expire.

Slot Systems are Scams.

There are several systems, extensively advertised in the market and on the Internet, which claim that can show you when a slot machine is ready to pay off. Have in mind that all those devices are scams, since the winning combinations of slot machines are determined only by random number generators. Those systems can only tell you the odds to win, but they can never predict when you can get the jackpot.
