(If your reels line up for the progressive or top prize, and you do not have the maximum bet, you only get a small sum). I mostly play table games, but if I play a slot machine I always follow one rule:įor example, if I play a machine that has pay outs listed for 1st, 2nd and 3rd coins, I always play 3 coins. Or you can bet numbers with a 35-to-1 payoff, again the two green gives the house the edge. If you bet say on black every time the house will hold a 5% edge over you b/c of the two green numbers. There are 18 black numbers, 18 red numbers, and two green numbers. Slightly better odds are video poker, but it does require skill, whereas slots require none, just your patronage.Īn easy game is roulette. If you are playing that 20,000 coin payout machine, only playing one coin, the payout might be 500 for a single coin versus 20,000 for 3-coins. Are you the sucker playing 5000 or 20,000? For example two machines setting side-by-side one pays 5000 coins, and the other pays 20,000 for a jackpot. If you must play a slot, look for the ones with the highest payouts, and play maximum coins allowed. BJ gives you the best odds, about a 1% edge over the house for single deck, double-split on anything, and allow surrender.
Slots are a suckers game for those who do not know how to play table games. Put your money in press the buttom, you have got it mastered.
