This guide therefore is going to be answering the question why do some slot machines never seem to pay-out, and also giving you a few pointers and slot playing tips so that you can do your upmost best to avoid playing a slot machine that may not pay you out very much too. High Variance Slots are Risky Slots to Play. Penny slots have the worst odds of any slot machine in a casino and it's because the casino has to take a bigger cut of each bet to make money than it does if you're playing bigger bets on each. Slots to avoid, to me, are known softwares with rigged games (not any of the major players), or avoid based on 'x' criteria ie if you want long play sessions on a low bankroll, avoid high variance slots, such as 'x', if you have a large bankroll, are a big better and want potentially huge returns, avoid low variance slots like 'y'. Understanding how slots work is important in maximizing your gains and dispelling some common myths that have grown up around slots. Once you know how slot machines work you will avoid the common pitfalls made by uninformed players.

• Which Slot Machines To Avoid

Las Vegas slot machines are known by a variety of names around the world. Slot machines in Australia are generally referred to as video poker, poker machines or pokies. In Japan it is known as pachisuro. In Britain, they are usually known as Fruit machines, Bandits and AWP (Amusement with Prizes)

Traditional slot machines are coin-operated machines with three or more reels, which spin when a lever on the side of the machine is pulled.

Las Vegas slot machines which are considered modern slot machines are designed to look and feel like the old mechanical models, but they work on a completely different principle. The outcome of each pull is actually controlled by a central computer inside the machine, not by the motion of the reels.

The positions the reels will come to rest on are chosen by a Random Number Generator (RNG) contained in the machine's software. The RNG is constantly generating random numbers, at a rate of hundreds or maybe thousands per second. As soon as the lever is pulled or the 'Play' button is pressed, the most recent random number is used to determine the result. This means that the result varies depending on exactly when the game is played. A fraction of a second earlier or later, and the result would be different.

What does all this mean, you ask? It means,
Las Vegas slot machines have one of the worst House Advantage. That means the odds are always in the slot machine's favor.
There is no reward for playing longer. Each play is an independent event with the same odds of winning or losing as every other play on that game.
Persistence doesn't pay off. The result of your previous play or series of plays doesn't determine what happens on your next play.
There is no way to tell which slots are wining machines. Slots are never 'due for a win' and they don't 'go cold' after a win.
The location of the slot machine, whether it's on the Strip, off the Strip or Downtown affects the outcome of a game.

Now, here is the news you don't to hear. There is really no strategy to out smart the slot machine. However what we can show you are some wining tips on playing slot machines.

One of the questions visitors to Las Vegas ask is, where are the loose slots. Loose slots are Slot machines with above-average pay outs.

It's a fact that Las Vegas Slots differ in their payouts. Generally the odds of wining any prize on Las Vegas Slot Machines are approximately 1 in 5. However the odds to wining a top prize on a red, white and blue slot machine, for example, are only 1 in 373,248.

Some slot games pay smaller prizes more frequently and offer more bonus games (Loose Slots). Other machines pay out more often in the middle and top prize categories. It's important to mention that the chances of winning smaller prizes on slots are greater than the chances of winning top prizes.

The Slot Expert's Guide to Winning at Slots

The Best Number of Coins to Play in Slots

Type of Machine	Rules and Reasons
Progressives	Play maximum coins. If you play don't play maximum coins, you're only increasing the jackpot for someone else with no chance of winning it yourself.
Straight Multipliers	Play one coin at a time. The payback and hit frequency are the same regardless of the number of coins you play.
Bonus Multipliers	Play one coin at a time. The chances of hitting a payout with a bonus are so small, it's not worth the extra risk.
Buy-A-Pays	Play maximum coins. The increase in payback and hit frequency purchased by the additional coins can turn a terrible machine into a good one.
Hybrids	Play just enough coins to activate all winning combinations. Extra coins are rarely worth playing in a multiplier, and hybrids are multipliers when you're in the multiplying section of the paytable.
Hidden Buy-A-Pays	Play maximum coins. The feature activated by playing the last coin frequently makes the last coin pay back over 100%.
Multilines	Play one coin or maximum coins. Play maximum coins if having winning combinations land on paylines you didn't activate bothers you, otherwise play one coin.
Multicoin/Multilines	Play one coin each on as many lines as you like. Play one coin on each line if having winning combinations land on paylines you didn't activate bothers you, otherwise play one coin. If there's a Hidden Buy-A-Pay, play enough coins to activate it.

I found a $1coin dropper machine in Blackhawk that looked to have a 127.62% payback. I ran $20 to $146 when I decided to cash out
Imagine my surprise as it paid off in Chicken McNuggets. GRRRRRRRRRgood read as always Mission. What is your minimum Bankroll you like to have on one of your outings? If you don't mind me asking. The wife plays video keno and she said she will have to look for the fireball one now.

good read as always Mission. What is your minimum Bankroll you like to have on one of your outings? If you don't mind me asking. The wife plays video keno and she said she will have to look for the fireball one now.

Thanks!
My typical bankroll is usually insufficient to seriously pursue most Progressives, but then, I'm not an Advantage Player professionally. However, the concept of, 'Sessions,' is an arbitrary and artificial construct, so even under-bankrolled, as long as you only play certain machines at an advantage, you'll be at 100%+ ER on those machines in the long run. My minimum bankroll, thus, is whatever my budget for that happens to be at the time.
If we're talking about disadvantageous games, then $5.00-$10.00 for those parlor Keno games and probably $10-$20 for Fireball Keno.
If one were to pursue these games seriously, then you would probably look at the known probabilities and:
Rock Around the Clock: It's a known Bonus, and pretty cheap to get to the Bonus Games. You would pretty much just use whatever the maximum would be to reach the Bonus Games, assuming you lost every single spin.
Quick Hits Platinum: This one depends on where the advantage is, or if it is spread out among Progressives. I would typically want to look to have enough money to get the type of coin-in to give me a 75% probability of hitting the highest of the contributing Progressives (i.e. 5QH, 6QH or 7QH). Of course, if a lower Progressive hits dropping you under 100%ER, you stop.

Which Slot Machines To Avoid

Video Keno: Again, at least enough cash to have a 75% probability of hitting the Progressive.
I mean, the whole thing is just sick!!! Consider a professional slot advantage player, rarely (but possibly) dropping $5,000-$10,000 to chase a Progressive worth about $500 all because he is at 103% ER. Sick life! They definitely have my respect, I couldn't take the stress. I win or lose and don't care that much either way.

We are going for 3 days end of Oct. My bankroll for slots is $300-$500. We do prefer smaller less busy casinos some may say dives but we like them. We play at the local Indian casinos and the few years we have been I have never seen the Quick strike machines that hit by $500 over $400. The ones that hit by $200 rarely over $150. I always suspect ,without any proof of course ,that they reset these machines without them being hit. But I still keep looking. My goals are to just have fun and not burn through my BR to fast. I doubt I will have time to hunt much but part of my enjoyment is looking at all the crazies out there. Thanks for all the good information. They do have a slot rebate at one of the casinos we will be visiting but they pay back over 3 days so we may miss out on the last day and it only stays on your account for 90 days but still thinking about that one.

That's not a bad bankroll for many games, it can give you a good run at some of the Progressives that don't necessarily require a Max bet, Must-Hits, if you can find an advantageous one. I would be reluctant to pursue a Progressive on QHP with that sort of bankroll, because I've seen a $1.50/spin QHP machine cause $500 to disappear within an hour, hour-and-a-half, in some cases. If you don't hit for the Progressives or Bonus Games for a bit, the Base Pays aren't going to save you, that much I can promise.
If you really want to look for something, like I said, try to find those Keno Progressives for which you only need to bet $.50. $500 should last you at least seven-eight cumulative hours at Keno, unless Lady Variance really kicks you in the teeth. If you like people-watching, and aren't on a linked Progressive, you can also do that to facilitate slow playing.
Other than those, basically just what I said earlier. The $0.25/denoms tend to be simple games, though, if the $0.01 slots are the only ones you find entertaining, then just take the time (if not Max Betting) to make sure it's a perfectly-graduated payout.

Then you avoid the glitzy machines and stick to the barely noticeable ones that have minimal graphics.

Bor-ing!

I hear a lot of people say it is stupid not to play max coins on a slot machine. That thinking makes the casino very happy.

Especially when many new progressive games have the same payback for any denomination.
