how do you play slot machines?

Question

does setting on one machine better than wandering around few bucks here few bucks there looking for one that will pay back. if you get a good pay off do you stay or move to another machine. you have a system that works ??

Answer 1

The only system you should concern yourself with is playing the maximum number of coins per spin. I see way too many times where the person hits big with only one coin in. Some machines don't even pay at all on 1 coin. Find out the payout schedule on the glass before playing.

Answer 2

There is no system for slots. Each machine pays according to it's own programmed schedule, and there's no way of knowing if it's close to a payoff or not.

So do whatever you enjoy. Sit at one machine all night if you have fun there, or walk around and play a whole bunch. Your chance of winning is the same in either case.

BUT -- and this is big -- if you do happen to walk away from a machine then see it pay a few minutes later, it's hard to shake that off. So when you leave a machine, don't keep paying attention to it. Move on and don't look at it again for quite a while.

Answer 3

Slot machines are like any gambling game. There is no system that will enhance your chances of winning.

Slot machines are computer driven and use Random Number Generators. Each pull of the lever (more likely push of the button these days) is totally random and unconnected to any previous pulls. In theory, a machine can hit the jackpot over and over . . . if the player just happens to be lucky. It also can never hit, even though it's programmed to payoff X% of the time. It all depends on timing: What number was randomly selected at the time you activated the machine.

Good luck.

Answer 4

There is no way to "beat" slots. You can get lucky and win, but it is a game with negative expectation. You expect to lose going into it.

Answer 5

I just put money in and pull the lever. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
