1. Where can I find loose slots?

We'd all like to know, wouldn't we! Some people say the loosest slots can be found at the end of the aisles. Others will tell you based on where and how frequently they have won themselves. Keep in mind that even if you do find a loose machine, the payoffs from those slots might be less. Casinos aren't stupid. Also, it is commonly known that loose slots are placed at a distance from the table.

2. Which machines have the best payouts?

Find the most generous casino owner and the highest legal minimum and you just might find a pot of gold.

3. How do I know when to play?

Some people talk about "pay" and "take" cycles? There is no way to be exactly sure whether they exist or not. A better way to think about it is that there are pockets of pay time within larger periods of take time, and vice versa. Identify when those pockets occur and you're golden.

4. How do you suggest I think about playing slots?

This applies, or should apply to any game you play. You want to have fun and you also want to be smart. So, before attacking those one-armed bandits, set a cash loss limit for yourself.

Some people have trouble setting limits for themselves. To help yourself -if you're as human as the rest of us - decide, and stick to your decision. Always remember… if you stick to your limit, you'll probably find another chance to go play. Can't necessarily say that if you reach further than your arms can stretch.

5. What is the coin counter for?

The counter tells you how much you have entered into a machine. Drop in a roll of coins and then read the counter to see how it works. With a keen knowledge of statistical odds, some talented slots players successfully use the counter to their own benefit. Pretty neat, eh?
