Slots Strategy

You should always play the maximum number of coins possible which will maximize your payout. If the maximum number of coins on the slot machine you are playing is more than you want to bet, consider switching to a slot machine where you can play with lower values and bet more coins. For example, if you want to bet one dollar, instead of betting one dollar on a dollar machine, consider playing a quarter machine and betting four quarters. Casinos will have many options as to the coin value of the slot machines, so determine how much you are comfortable betting and then play a machine with a coin value that allows you to play the maximum number of coins based on what you have determined that you want to bet. Some online slot machines will let you play with as little as nickels or pennies.

When playing a progressive slot machine, you should always play the maximum number of coins to be eligible to win the big jackpot.

You should look at the payout percentages that the casinos advertise and go with the casinos offering the highest percentages. Payout percentages usually fall in the range of 94%-98%. A 96% payout means that for every $100 bet, the machine will pay out an average of $96. Maximizing this payout percentage will maximize your payouts over time. Because the payout percentage is an average, you can conceivably win thousands of times your bet amout with just a few small bets.
