You can increase the probability of winning larger amounts by selecting $5, $10, and $25 slots, or by winning more often with cheaper slots with low to medium pay outs. However, there are some things that can be done by way of money management to affect your play. However, we give some tips later that might give you an edge in case a place has “hotter” machines that payout more often while still being within state legal testing requirements. The payout rates are regulated in licensed casinos to prevent cheating. A computer chip has your decisions already determined. A random number generator determines if you will win or lose before you even sit down to play the machine. Yes it happens here and there, but I would say more often does it die than keep on hitting.Slots are all luck and not based on skill. I know machines are random, but more often than not, in my experiences and what I’ve seen, machines don’t usually pay out nice again for a bit.

Or do you cut your losses and move on after losing say $100 or $200 without anything?Ģ.) If you are lucky enough to hit a nice win/bonus that either breaks you even on that machine after a big investment, or puts you comfortably ahead on that game, do you continue to play thinking it’s hot? Or do you switch to another machine after that hit?
