If your casino has machines that are displayed as 99% or 98% return, play these machines! If the casino is displaying these machines as special, you can guarantee that the other machines in the casino are set to lower payout percentages.
Most casinos will have their highest paying machines et in prominent positions so that the most people can see them paying out more often, enticing new players to try their luck. The best way to find these machines is to stand in an area close to the slots and look for what machines you can see, and which ones seem to stand out more then others.
Even though the prizes are higher, progressive jackpot games often have a lower payout percentage to account for these bigger prizes. The prizes are also linked between many machines, and sometimes between many casinos, meaning that your chance of winning is even smaller then other times.
Now just remember, when we say bribe, we don’t mean anything to sinister. What we are suggesting is to befriend the staff members and offer them tips in return for pointers to where the good machines are. Some may even help out for a friendly smile. And who knows the machines better then the people that work with them every day?
Some people believe that the rewards cards change the odds of the slots, but this could not be further form the truth. All the rewards cards do is tell the casino who is at which machine. The card readers do not connect to the slots themselves and have no influence at all over the game. If you don’t use your rewards card you’re missing out on bonuses that are rightfully yours!
When you look at the fine print on the machines you’ll see that on most of them the major jackpot is only able to be won when you play the maximum number of coins for that machine. This means that you should always play the maximum number of coins so that you can be in the running for this big prize. If you are on a budget that can’t afford to play this much, move to a smaller denomination machine so that you can still be in the running.
This may sound a bit like shopping, and in reality it is. When you are looking for a slot machine, try a few coins in a machine and see if it pays. If not, find another one and do the same. Soon you’ll have found a good machine with a good payout schedule for you.
This is the biggest tip that we can give. It doesn’t matter if you’re winning or loosing, there is always a time when you should stop. If you’re winning you should leave before you put all of your winnings back into the machine again. If you’re loosing you should cut your losses before they become even bigger. The best way to do this is to set limits on how much you’re willing to loose and how much you are happy to win, and when you reach either of these limits, stop playing. This may seem hard to do when you’re on a winning streak, but remember that it’s better to be ahead then to be even.
