Slot Tip one that could save you money and frustration. Always read the pay-off information on each machine, particularly on Pay for Play machines. These are usually three coin slot machines with the first coin paying only on limited symbols, perhaps cherries and bars. The second coin pays on the next set of symbols and the third coin pays on any win. The big win is with the third coin. Many a player has turned up three sevens and stood in wonderment as to why they didn't get paid. They only put one coin in the slot machine and one coin wont feed the Bull dog on a Pay for Play. Know what you are playing and good luck.

Slot Tip two The cash out button controls the payout function, it either indicates credits or it drops the coins in the tray. Be sure you have cashed all of your credits before leaving the machine. If you are not sure of what to do, call an attendant and ask.

Slot Tip three Large jackpots are paid by the attendant, some machines pay partial jackpots and the attendants pay the rest, never leave your machine until you have received your total winnings.

Slot Tip fourWhen slot machines hoppers are low in coins they have a tendency to realease coins very slowly. The machines are timed to go into a "Tilt" mode when coins have not dropped into the tray for a certain period, usually a minute or so. When this happens, stay with the machine untill an attendant arrives to open the machine and correct the problem. The counters on the slot machine will show how many coins have been paid and how many are still owing. Remember, when coins are being released slowly and sporadicaly the machine will probably go into a "Tilt" mode. Stay with it until an attendent corrects the problem.
