The Top 10 Slot
Secrets You Should Know (4 of 8)
Gambling should always be fun, but it
should more importantly be as profitable as you can manage to make
it. A good way to identify the best slot machines on a casino floor
is to look for those devices that have had a single player warming
the seat for hours at a time, with at least one other person
hovering nearby in the hopes of sniping their stool when they get
up. If you can wait long enough, be sure to secure a seat and save
your money for these games.
Secret Tip #5: Profits don’t
always come out of the coin slot.
No matter how strategic and canny you
are, playing the slot machines is a guaranteed losing battle in the
long run. At the end of the day, no pokey is going to top a
ninety-nine percent payoff. That doesn’t mean that your trips to
spin the reels have to be a consistently losing proposition,
however. You can actually come out WAY ahead, albeit not necessarily
in currency, by signing up for the players’ club of whatever casinos
you frequent on a regular basis. Generally, these memberships award
freebies (“comps”) to players based on the total amount of money
they put into play. Generally, these clubs give you perks for every
thousand dollars you cumulatively spend. It could be a free night’s
stay in the resort hotel (worth a few hundred bucks a night,
depending on the location), gratis dinners (upwards of fifty
dollars), promotional tickets to a show (again – could be quite
pricey), and so on.
