Your Slots Tips

Many players end up playing slots until their pockets are empty.  That is not the way playing slots is supposed to work.  These tips will help make positive memories out of your experiences at both online and land based casinos.

Slot machines are a blast.  They only become dangerous to the pockets when players are blinded by the lust for the big jackpot.  These tips are simple and sensible, read them and see for yourself. 

How do players end up losing everything to slot machines?  Is it because they never win?  No!  It is usually because players do not have the good sense to quit playing slots while they are ahead.  Here is a useful fact to keep in mind: the slot machine odds are in the houses favor, the longer you play the better their chances are of beating you.  Treasure your winnings. Avoid the embarrassment of winning a jackpot, wanting more, and playing until you have not only squandered your surplus but your initial bankroll as well. 

Greed is a gamblers worst enemy.  Casino managers know that the more a player loses the more they want to win.  The more they want to win, the more they play.  And as we said before, the more they play the slimmer the players chances get. 

The most valuable slots tip is: DON'T BE GREEDY!  Set your goals before you begin playing.  Having fun is a given, but you must also decide whether you want to play for a certain amount of time or dollars.  Perhaps a combination.  Give this a lot of thought, it may be key to your slots success. 

When setting fiscal goals, set them within reason.  Blossoming an initial bankroll of $400 into $12,000 is not a reasonable goal.  However, you can make a 25% plus in a rather short time, so shoot for $500.  Making back 25% of your cash quickly, legally, and while having fun is pretty unique to slots.  The next great slots tip is setting simple goals.  Then, more importantly, walk away as soon as they have been achieved.  

Now, if you decide you want to play for 2 hours with that same $400, play at inexpensive, twenty-five cent machines.  Then, as soon as you hit that 2 hour mark walk away from the game.  Walk away no matter if your earning are in the positive or the negative.

Setting goals and sticking to them will help you avoid the biggest gambling pitfall:  Losing more than you were willing to risk in the first place.  Self-discipline may be the most important ingredient required to create more positive gambling experiences.  Players are often surprised at what a formidable gambling strategy common sense and self-control can produce.  

Final note:  Know what you are playing.  Always read instructions.  If you plan on putting your hard earned money into a slot machine, know that machine like the back of you hand.  Familiarize yourself with the amount required for the big jackpot.  Few things are more heart breaking than winning a payoff then discovering you did not insert enough to win the big payday.  This is a tragedy easily avoided by reading the game instructions.

The Slots Line Friendly Dozen

To further aid you in setting up your slots strategy, we at Slots Line have posted the The Friendly Dozen.  These 12 tips are easy to remember and  are sure to help you avoid regrettable gambling experiences.  With a little bit of luck, they may even lead to greater slots success.  If you remember nothing else, remember these! 

SL Tip #1: Slot machines are not your friends or your family, they aren't even people.  So erase the idea that they owe you anything.  Dumping all of your money into one slot machine with the illusion that on the next spin it owes you a pay out is foolish.  A fool and his money will soon part.  

SL Tip #2: As in all gambling games, knowing the payout and the odds are necessary to build strategy.  Familiarize yourself with the payout schedule before dropping one cent into any slot machine.  

SL Tip #3:  Seek out machines with relatively high payouts.  95% and above are usually your best bet. 

SL Tip #4: Before you sit down to play, make an important decision.  How much of your money are you willing to part with in one session?  As soon as you find yourself at that amount, WALK AWAY!  No more slots for the day.  

SL Tip #5: Only play at slot machines that fit the amount of money that you are willing to risk. It would be silly to play at a $20 slot machine with only $40 to spend.  The idea is to get as many arm pulls as your money can buy.

SL Tip #6: If you come across a machine that suits your fancy but you can not afford it, keep shopping.  The odds are that there is a similar machine that requires less.

SL Tip #7: After you have settled on a machine that is agreeable to your budget bet the maximum the machine allows.  Hitting a jackpot, then discovering it could have been a bigger win just by betting the max can really ruin your day.

SL Tip #8: Bet more when Lady Luck is on your side. Bet less when she is not.

SL Tip #9: Always be sure to cash out the credits that you have collected. 

SL Tip #10: Your chances of hitting the winning combination are not related to the amount of credits you bet. 

SL Tip #11: Not having luck at one machine?  Move along to a next one.  Machines do not owe you anything!

SL Tip #12: Read all instructions offered about your machine.  What is the point of playing a game you do not know how to win?  Don't allow yourself to be surprised by an inanimate object; especially when all of its secrets are offered in the instructions.

Good Luck!
