Increasing the Winning Odds at Slot Machines

Slot machines have been occupying most of the floor space in a regular casino. There are many varieties of slot machines like single-line slots, multiple line slots, progressive slots, online slots, and video slots. All of these varieties work on similar principles.

Every one of them has a random number generator installed inside the slot machine and it determines the resulting symbol combination every time a spin is made. Random number generators on slot machines are not affected by any factors such as when you spin, how frequent you spin, hot or cold coins, or any other controllable factors.

Because slot machines are games of chance, so how will you play them and win money? There is really no guarantee in being a consistent winner in slot machines but there are some things that players can do to improve their winning chances.

Every slot machine has a fixed payback percentage. Their average payback percentage is about 90%. And this mean that a slot machine with a 90% payback percentage will return about 90% of the money bet accumulated all over the machine's life. For example, if a slot machine has accumulate $10 million over many years, then it is expected that it will payback about $9 million on the same time period. But this doesn't mean that every time you play the slot machine, you will get the 90% payback percentage.

To have a good chance of winning at slot machines, find the machines that have the higher payback percentage and there are ways to find them even if casinos don't want them to be found. Slot machines with higher payback percentage are usually located in places where there is high traffic like aisles, restaurants, and cashiers.

Higher denomination slot machines have also higher payback percentage and non-progressive slot machines have better payback percentage than progressive slots. Generally, machines that have smaller jackpots are paying out more often.

Before you start playing the games, it is a good routine to read first the instructions posted on the slot machines. Even if slot machines almost look the same but they have different play rules and reading the instructions will give you the right idea on how to play the games.

Playing at slot machines entitles you to receive comps or complimentary items from the casino. These comps are given out as an incentive for players to be loyal to the casino. To avail of the comps, you must first sign up to be a slot club member and every time you play slot machines, always use your card. In this way, you can accumulate comp points that can be converted to freebies like free meal, free room, and more.

Playing at slot machines is totally fun, exciting, and also rewarding. You may not be a consistent winner but if you look for the high payback percentage, read the instructions, and be a slot club member, then you are not a total loser after all.
