It's not impossible but highly improbable that you can beat the odds playing the casino slot machines. It is programmed to pay at random using clock and betting conditions. There is nothing you can do to the machine including praying or massaging the screen that would cause to alter the event. My advice is to play the casino machines as a form of entertainment, not a scheme to get rich.

Vegas casinos pay back about $98.50 in winnings for every $100 spent. The cheapest slot machines are more like $97/$100, and table games can be over $99/$100. But, in the long run you will always lose when playing against the house. The only way you can ever have better than 50% odds (without cheating) is by playing a game, such as poker or sports line betting, in which you're playing against all the other players, not against the house (the house just takes its cut off the top). In poker or sports betting, if you're smarter than most other people or if you have more information than other people, you can win consistently. In slots, video poker, craps, roulette, blackjack, and most other games, you will always lose in the long run. The one exception is if you are a good card-counter in blackjack (but the casinos don't like counters, and they'll kick you out if they know you're counting).

You cant.

People have gotten very rich off selling you books about how it can be done but that isnt true.

Each draw is random and independant of the other draws. All machines in a casino have the same probabilities as the others.

Your best bet is to go to a casino that is trying to attract customers. From my understanding the main casinos lower the chance on the slots since they are visited so much. The casinos that are struggling to get people in raise the chances so that more people win in order to draw more people in.

Tips to surviving a trip to the casino:

1. Educate yourself. Know which games have the highest "house edge" and avoid them. The odds for roulette and keno, for instance, are horrible -- roulette has a house edge over 10%. Craps, on the other hand, has a very low house edge *if* you know which bets to avoid. Blackjack, I understand, also has a low house edge, especially single-deck tables, but you have to study how to minimize the house edge (without cheating, of course). Video poker can have a low house edge, but you have to look at the payouts listed on the machine and know which ones are the machines to play vs. the ones to walk away from!
2. If you start losing, walk away. Don't "throw good money after bad" -- meaning, don't assume that you can recoup your losses with more betting.
3. Avoid "systems." Most of them don't work, though they might seem to at first glance. If a system seems to make sense to you, do some additional research, in other books or online, just to see what others say about it.

One book I highly recommend: "Winning Casino Craps," by Edwin Silberstang. It's a slim little book that tells you everything you need to know about the odds at the craps table, including which bets you should never play. It's a little out-of-date, last time I checked, in that many tables now offer higher behind-the-line odds. Nevertheless, a great little book, and very readable.

Hope that helps!

This works best for me, it doesn't beat the odds all the time, but usually I win.

Method 1:
Play 1 quarter at time and count how many quarters you put in, when your winnings are more than that cash out.

Method 2:
Play 1 dollar at a time, put 1 dollar in a machine and move to the next machine, cash out when you win. Seems like there are a lot of sucker wins, like 10 coins or 2 coins that try to make you sit and play, but if you just cash out by the time you played $10 worth you will probably have a profit. Works most of the time for me. You end up running through machines quick that way though.

Method 3:
I haven't tried this, but was told by someone who does it. Take $2000 to a progressive quarter machine and play max bets all day for 2 days solid, and usually you will hit a few $700 - $800 payouts.

Don't paly machines AT ALL! The odds are ALWAYS in the houses favor. The best odds for casino gaming are Black Jack & Craps and to a lesser degree the Wheel. Don't play machines and especially NEVER play machines at Indian Casino's.

The machines are rigged. Turn the sitution around. If you owned a great big hotel. You had a 100 pretty machines sitting on the floor. You had 100 people putting money in those machines.

What are the chances you would give the money back.
1 in 4, 1 in 10, 1 in 100

Beat a slot machine is difficult, but beating with roulette is not really difficult. although it is not 100% guaranteed you win.

Strategy:
Put 1/256 part of what you have on RED.
If you win, you stop playing, and you've beaten roulette.
If you loose, put the double of it on RED, so 2/256.
If you win, you've won two units, lost one, so the score is +1. Stop and you've beaten roulette.
If you haven't won, but lost for the 2nd time, double your deposit: 4/256 on RED
If you win, you've won +4 and lost -2 and -1, total score: +1. Stop and you've beaten roulette.
Continue with this strategy: every time you loose, you double your deposit, every time you win, you should stop - ok, if you can't stop, continue with 1/256.
The only time you won't beat roulette is if it's eight times black without one single RED.
Of course the more games you play, the more likely it will be that you'll have eight times black in a row.
You could instead of 1/256 deposit, do a deposit of 1/1024 or even less, this makes it less likely that there are enough blacks in a row to loose all your money.
If you've got EXCEL, try to make a spread sheet with it.
Left colum with RANDOM function are the outcome of games in a row: black or red
Columns 2 to 21 are about twenty people who play according the strategy: they start with 256 coins. First deposit is 1, and depending on the outcome their next deposit is again 1 or 2, 4, 8 etc.
At the bottom of your spread sheet calculate how much coins they have. Did anyone loose all the money?

There's really no way to "win." However, if you want to play machines, check out the video poker machines instead of just slots. At least there is strategy involved. Also, these machines have different odds. Check them out before playing.
If you have any luck on a machine, pull out the money that you brought with you to gamble and put it in your wallet and don't touch it. (ie. - You decide to play with 20 bucks. On your first pull, you get lucky and win 40. Put 20 in your pocket and make it untouchable.) At least then you are guaranteed to walk out with no less than you went in with.

They are games of chance designed to separate you from your money as quickly as possible. There is no way to "beat the odds" in a consistent manner. It is all chance. If it were not, casinos would be out of business. I hope you don't have a gambling addiction. If you feel an overwhelming urge to gamble, please seek professional help before you ruin your life. May God bless and keep you.
