Elements for winning at the slots
The most important element is you.
You.....Know yourself and set your own boundaries and style of play.
The house
....Casinos know human nature and not from a book but from
hard day to day experience. Set objectives.....If your objective is to just play the slots in any random fashion, that's fine, it's your money and if this brings you a measure of fun, great. I have played that way for many years and lost "Mucho Denaro" I thought I was enjoying myself but I can tell you I have a lot more fun now using the method of play I've developed. Steaming...Don't blindly play a machine and chase the Jackpot, Particularly on the high end slots.If you want to play for fun play the nickle machines, $10.00 goes a long way. Progressive slots are the slots that accumulate a great jackpot and always require the maximum number of coins to qualify for a jackpot win, should you be lucky enough to hit the big one. The amount of the jack pot is determined by the input of coins and increases with each incremental unit. These are dynamic jackpots jackpots because the are always growing.A Static jackpot will stay at a certain level untill someone hits it and then it starts over again at that level. For example if the jackpot on machine X is 1000 coins for 3 sevens, it will never be more than 1000 coins. However, a Progressive jackpot is set at a starting point, lets say 2,500.00 and increases with each coin played, sometimes to a maximum amount and then remains static untill someone hits it, at which time it is reset and the process starts all over again. A hit on a progressive slot can make your day or even year, depending on the size of the hit. The money paid out on a progressive win in no way affects the Casinos bottom line since all jackpots are merely a hold percentage of what has been played, in other words it's all players money, at least it was at one time. The odds on hitting a progressive Jackpot are in direct proportion to the amount of the jackpot, small progressives are hit often whereas large giant progressive hits can be calculated in months. Progressives that are small may be hit 4 to 5 times a day and even more often. This raises the anticipation and excitement of the players and motivates them to play longer. So the rule of thumb on Progressive slot machines is rather simple. The smaller the jackpot the more often it will hit. The larger the jackpot the less often it will hit. I have seen a progressive nickle machine stuck at the maximum of 30,000.00 for well over 2 years and I won't mention the name of the Casino. I'll leave you with my tried and true advice, when you play the slots, have fun and if you win it's a bonus.
