The slot players card: The explosion
of computer technology has not gone unoticed by the boys of Las Vegas,
in the last few years, the start of the nineties, most Vegas Casinos have
introduced a players card. You will see them at various places in most Vegas
Casinos. It's a plastic card designed by the industry to track your action,
how much you play. Some casinos issue a card exclusively to your name, such
as Harra's and the Flamingo Hilton in Vegas. Others simply have blank cards
available that have not yet been registered to a player. In either case
the card is placed in a slot usually near the top front right of the slot
machine, and acceptance is acknowledged or you are asked to reinsert the
card. Once the card is inserted, and accepted, all subsequent play is recorded
on the card.
An unregistered card can be registered by the casino after a
certain level of play has been reached. At this time an exclusive card is
issued to the player. Go to a cashier and inquire for details. A point schedule
has been determined by the casino and each point plateau carries with it
a prize of some kind, from T shirts to free dinners to even free rooms,
if play warrants. The down side is forgetting your card in the machine and
walking away without it. It's worth the effort to have a card. Try not to
forget it in the machine. Money Changers; The last feature we
will discuss is the automatic changers mounted on almost all modern slot
machines. They too are mounted on the front end right hand side of most
machines. They will accept bills varying from 1$ to 100$ in some cases.
Simply feed the bill into the slot and you are credited with a like amount
of coins depending on the denomination of the machine. The coins are released
by pressing the "cash out" button. The count, incredibly, is never
wrong.
Those Amazing Video Machines: gaining
in popularity and diversification, these machines are hard to keep up with.
The technology seems to change almost daily as do the games. Trying to examine
these machines individually is a futile endeavor since there are just too
many of them and so we will deal with them in categories. I classify them
in general categories, Poker Video, Black Jack Videos, Keno Video, Multiple
game Videos and Symbol Videos. The first three are self explainatory, Poker,
Black Jack and Keno, the games are traditional with few minor variations.
Muliple game Videos are players choice, you select the game you
want to play out of a selection of four or five different games on one machine.
Symbol Videos are similar to traditional Slot machines with up to five or
more pay lines. The odds of winning are no different on these machines than
on any other although many players swear by Poker, since they have a little
control over the outcome. Poker is presently the most popular of the Video
games and can be found in great numbers at most Casinos. Like the slots
they come in various coindenominations and usually have progressive Jack-Pots.
The Jack_Pots are associated with a Royal Flush, Ten to the Ace in the same
suit. Video Keno is also a very popular game, it seems that most of
the Casino games are popular. In Keno the player one to six coins and selects
a set of numbers, out of eighty numbers he can select one or fifteen. The
more hits the greater the win. I would like to provide more detail but it
would make this page far too long and onerous to read. For details visit
my Keno Page.
In conclusion, these are the most
common aspects and features of slot machines. For openers, I believe you
have as much information on slot play as you probably need or want. A review
of these pages will at least make you familiar with some of the aspects
of Casino gambling.Good Luck
Money Management at the Casino
The best way to keep from spending
more than you want to is to know, at all times, where you stand. There are
a number of ways you can do this. You can operate on a daily gambling allowance,
which is the most common approach. Within this approach there is still the
need to know where you stand. When gambling or gaming, if you wish, money
no longer has a value as you normaly associate value with money. It becomes
increasingly easy to get carried away. This you should gaurd against.
Limit the number of turns spent
at a machine without a win. If after 5 to 7 plays you have not had a hit,
leave and try another machine. I have seen slot machines go up to fourty
times without a hit. I have done this purposely to learn how long you can
play with no hit. On the other hand, if you land a machine that is in a
"pay cycle," and no matter what anyone tells you, they do have
a pay cycle. I call it a "take cycle" and a "pay cycle."
And the "take" cycle is longer than the "pay" cycle.
During take cycles you will get the odd small payout but overall they get
pretty stingy. See "IF You Are Disciplined" section below for
more on "Pay Cycles."
A pay cycle can be quite an experience
and gives real meaning to; "know when to hold em and know when to fold
em." Play the pay cycle as long as you are getting reasonable hits
within 10 or so turns. They cool off as quickly as they get hot. Hot slot Machines may be found in
Casinos but they are randomly placed for optimum effectiveness. In other
words, placed where they can be best seen by potential players. These payoffs
make players itchy to play any machine and thereby action is created. Not
only are these machines randomly placed, they are periodicaly relocated
so as not to allow some smart player to zero in on them for any period of
time. The only person that can tell you where they are is the guy that put
them there. Other than that it becomes an adventure to find one. Don't waste
your entire trip looking for one of these shill machines, just have fun
and Good luck.
If you are disciplined you can try
this approach. If you get a good hit of 50 plus coins, keep a handful in
the tray and scoop the rest into a bucket, there are lots of buckets all
around. Each time you get a susequent hit, put one half in the bucket to
keep. When you have run out of coins in the tray it usually means the pay
cycle is over. Take your winnings and move to another machine. If you play
this method you will play longer and have more fun with your money. Even
if you use this money management system, you should limit your turns to
10 or 15 withour a hit. You should remember that the more clinical your
approach the less likely you are to enjoy yourself.
A personal note A recent visit to
Biloxi Miss. proved to be fun and rewarding. No we didn't make any money
but we sure had a lot of play for the money we spent. The Grand Casino has
a bank of Sizzling sevens upstairs, nickles that is. Four of us sat in a
row and played for three hours we hit dozens of sevens and cashed in about
40.00 each. My good wife hit the sizzling sevens for 1000 nickels, a real
kick, that's what it's all about.
