Playing the Slot Machines to Win

When you walk into a casino for the first time, it can be quite overwhelming to see the number of table games and slot machines that are there for the picking. However, knowing how to play the slot machines and understanding what your chances are of winning will make the whole process seem quite not so daunting.

The first thing you have to understand, whether you are playing the slot machines, or anything else in the casino, is that you are bound to lose something. The house, or the casino itself, has the edge over you – and therefore they will ultimately come out on top over all. The house edge is the difference between what the odds of winning the slot machine jackpot are, and how much the casino actually pays out when you win.

If you learn the odds, you will have a better chance of understanding how likely it is or isn’t that you will win at the slot machines. Gayle Mitchell, of “Casino Gambling Made Easier” says that her strategies for winning the slot machines are:

1. Slot machines offer a smaller house advantage: basic slots with a single pay line, progressives, and bonus multi-line slots.

2. Some experts think that as long as you stick with one slot machine, you stand a better chance at winning – and hence decrease the amount of edge the house would have over you.

3. The average slot machine edge is 9% but can be as low as 3% or less on some games

4. Know which slot machines offer the toughest odds – those like Wheel of Fortune have the longest odds in the casino

5. Educate yourself, and know that your chances of winning are less than your chances of having a good time if you let it all go.
