NOTE: Before undertaking any
playing strategy, it is wise to keep the size of your bankroll in
mind. And ... PLAY WITHIN YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
STRATEGY #1 - THE PLAY-THROUGH
METHOD
You think you've found a "loose" slot machine.
Good. Take your bankroll and play it through the machine ONCE. Do
NOT replay any coins/tokens that you have won. After you have played
your bankroll through the machine, take any winnings and QUIT. This
method will practically guarantee that you will leave the "session"
with SOME money (if not an actual jackpot).
If your slot machine seems to be on an upward
trend--you may opt to play your winnings (up to the amount of your
initial bankroll) through the machine once more. Playing the same
machine beyond this point, however, is risky.
STRATEGY#2 - THE STEP-DOWN METHOD
For the sake of demonstration, let's say
you've chosen to start playing a $5 slot machine. Play the machine
until you've played one-half of your initial bankroll. Stop. Count
the money/tokens in the coin tray. Add it to what's left of your
initial bankroll. If the total amount EXCEEDS your original session
stake (bankroll), play the remaining amount of your initial bankroll
through the same machine. If it does NOT total your initial stake,
"step down" to the next denomination machine ...(in this case, a
$1 machine). At this slot machine, play one-half of what's left
of your starting bankroll. Stop. As before, count the money/tokens
you have won and add it to what remains of your original stake.
If the combined total EXCEEDS your starting bankroll, "step up"
to a $5 machine once again. If your combined winnings do NOT equal
or exceed your original bankroll, "step down" to the next denomination
slot machine (a quarter machine) ... and repeat the process.
If you don't actually leave the casino a
winner, you will have stretched your playing time tremendously WITHOUT
EXCEEDING YOUR ORIGINAL BANKROLL.
STRATEGY#3 - THE PERCENTAGE-PLAY METHOD
This particular strategy involves playing
a fixed percentage of your bankroll for each "pull." For example,
let's say your session stake is $100. You have chosen to play a
$1 machine.
You will play a maximum of five (5) percent
of your stake each pull. Therefore, you would play up to five coins
on the first pull. If you win, you may continue to play at five
percent. If not, then you limit your next pull to five percent of
what remains of your bankroll. And so on.
The question is: "When do I quit?" The answer
is: when you've lost half of your initial stake OR ... if you are
winning ... when your last ten (10) pulls have yielded no winnings.
At that point, you may choose to move to
another slot machine, "step down" to a lesser denomination machine
... or call it a day and eat some dinner. Again, the choice is entirely
yours.
STRATEGY#4 - THE BLITZ METHOD
This strategy is not for the weak-of-heart
or for those whose bankrolls are not sufficiently healthy. You must
also be relatively certain that you have chosen a "loose" machine.
Play your entire bankroll through the slot
machine regardless of whether you win or lose. Why?
Your objective is to "force" the machine
to pay you a very nice mid-level jackpot. If you are lucky (and
you have indeed picked a "loose" machine), you may receive more
than one good-sized jackpot.
The downside: if your chosen slot machine
does NOT respond the way you thought it would, your bankroll is
gone. Your gambling session is over.
SUMMARY: 96-99% pay-out slot machines
+ always play within YOUR comfort zone + near-perfect execution
of the chosen playing strategy = AN EXCELLENT CHANCE OF WALKING
AWAY FROM THE CASINO ... A WINNER!
