Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m the type of person that must bex max coins all the time no matter what slot machine. I would hate to miss out on an extra payoff or jackpot because I did not use an extra coin.. That’s just me but good advice..
I was playing at the local casino and was choosing between 2 slot machines…I picked the one on the right that was one of the 2 empty….Was max betting 2 bucks..had $500 to blow..a lady sat next to me after 30 minutes she hits 8K jackpot. It hurt. Still does
You can get that informtion directly from the slot manufacturers. Each machine has a “par sheet” that shows the various symbols on a machine and how often they will hit. It also shows the total payback percentage for each machine. Par sheets are not made available to the general public. However, if you do a goole seach for “par sheets” you will find a few sites that display some.
I have always wondered the odds of hitting one line games like a quarter triple diamond or a quarter triple diamond progressive. Can you do a video explainng approximate odds please. I have not been able to find the information anywhere.
Sounds more like a modified mulitplier than a progressive. The odds are so slim of hitting the jackpot that it would be best to bet one coin at a time. However, you may not be satisfied with a small win if you hit the jackpot and didn’t bet enough to win it. As stated in the video, you would be better off playing video poker rather than slots. It’s a little more work, but your money will last a lot longer and you can be sure that you are playing the machines with the highest payback percentages.
Video keno is a bad game. Just like video poker, the payback percentages can be mathematically determined by looking at the paytables. However, the video keno machines never have good payback percentages like you will find on video poker. You can find video poker games with payback percentages around 100%, but you won’t won’t find any like that for keno. Most would be closer to 90%. The reason for the difference is that video poker has a skill involved while keno doesn’t.
Makes sense to me…..next time in Las Vegas I’ll try to remember these tips.
So what do you suggest for a quarter dollar machine that pays you in 5 lines with a max bet of 5 coins. Considering the fact that lines 1 through 4 pays the same amount (2000 coins) for the jackpot, but the fifth lines pays the progressive. Thanks.
What about video Keno?????? What is the best bet????? I like 6 spot.? What do you think.??

@americancasinoguide I always thought VLT’s were the same as VGM’s. I would think that playing a dollar in a penny machine would have a better chance of winning than blowing that dollar on a scratch off. I live close to the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway and always wanted to try VLT’s. Maybe someday.
The part where someone had asked him a question about, when they got up and someone else sat down at the slot machine they were just one and that other person hit the jackpot and that she’d not have won the jackpot if she’d have stayed at the machine, begs to question in the timing factor, that could possibly be the key to winning a jackpot. Next time I go and play the slot machines at the casino, I think I’ll pause just a bit before I hit the button, instead of being so quick to hit the button.
@revpitty001 No it will not increase your chances of winning… My roommate does that all the time at the casino and I just laugh at him. Although, you might catch germs that could lead to you catching a cold or virus, because people do sneeze on those slot machine screens. The other day, I found my roommate playing the slots on his computer and I started to laugh again when he started rubbing the computer screen. I guess some people still believe in supersition.
@coreye0225 i won 350 bucks in like 30 minutes on slots so yes you can win at slots
Make your luck! Eg. Where are you more likely to find some money on the floor of a bank or on the floor of a night club parking lot 6 in the morning?
I would have to disagree with your wording. Your statement should say there is no way to win in the long run because, obviously, you can win in the short run. Otherwise, everyone would always lose and never play again. So when you play the machines you will occasionally get lucky and win. However, the longer you play them, the more likely you will come out as a loser.
@americancasinoguide It must be a sign. The only way to guarentee winning at slot machines is hogwarts magic!
It must have been caused by some of that Hogwarts wizardry!
how did i get here from a harry potter interview …
I learnt how to win stay away for a few months and save up money you will see how much you have saved I tryed going and staying away believe me staying aways better Pokies are very unreliable for winning money its much easier to lose then it is to win I have had winnings before and loses but overall staying away is best way to win if you care about money
“U-SPIN” is notorious for ALMOST givin you the USPIN bonus. WHY?
The only thing to know about Class II machines is that you are playing bingo. If you play slots, it doesn’t matter that much. However, if you play video poker it means a lot because there is no skill involved. It doesn’t matter how you play your hands. Normally, you can look at the pay table on a video poker machine and tell what the machine is programmed to payback to the public. If it’s a Class II machine you can’t do that because the pay tables are meaningless.
@americancasinoguide then, can you suggest some literature for ppl in Alabama to learn more about Class II casinos please?
Uk fruit machines that are not connected to a network and are just the big bulky machine going into a plug socket have to actually pay out. If you keep putting money in and DO NOT collect, the payout percentage keeps increasing and the machine is forced to pay out jackpot. its called ‘forcing’ but be careful, this only works on £5 and £70 jackpots and definitely not £500 or bookmakers machines
Not necessarily. A VLT is a video lottery terminal. It is regulated/operated by a state lottery commission and you will find them in bars and/or casinos. In New York, for example, all casinos at pari-mutuels use VLTs for their slots and video poker games. Some states use VLTs that operate like regular slot machines, but NY doesn’t. Their machines are similar to a scratch-off ticket with a pre-determined number of winner and losers. Research before playing! Some games are worse than others.
Is it true that VLT slots are the worse when it comes to payback?
20,000 to one lol thats crazy!!!
@MobileTelegraph coincidence every time up to this point :O
@revpitty001 LOL
You would have gotten the same result only if you had hit the draw button at the exact same instant. The machine doesn’t care how much money you bet, the only thing that matters is when you stop the RNG to determine the combination it draws. So, if you had hit the draw button at the exact same instant, then yes you would have the same result. Otherwise, you would have gotten a different result because the RNG is constantly cycling through various cominations until you hit the draw button.
Once I was playing a video poker machine which was part of about 8 poker machines together, with a progressive jackpot which had grown to about $8200. I played 1 x $1 credit, was dealt 3 cards to a royal, held them, and it dealt me the other 2 cards required and got a royal flush – $250, instead of the $8200. I have spoken to different slot attendants since, some said it wouldn’t have given me the royal if I’d played max credits and some say it would have. Would it have given it anyway?
I do all right playing slots. I have my favorite machines and can usually play all night on 60 bucks before I’m broke. Need a system to get my big butt outa there while ahead: )
The bonus round is not pre-determined. If you need to select from symbols to choose your bonus, the amount you will win is not pre-determined and it matters whihc symbols you choose. Also, if there bouns rounds where the reels spin, it is pure random luck as to what you will win and it is all determined by a random number generator. However, some machines, such as Wheeel of Fortune, may use a different random number generator to choose the winning symbols in the bonus rounds.
On bonus spins is the amount you win predetermined for the whole bonus spin round?
Yeah but it seems to be a two sided issu….Who to believe?
