I don't like to play games where I have no control on the outcome or no skill is involved. My girl was telling me about an insurance client of hers, who was about to leave cache creek casino over here, and he played his last quarter and hit the pot for $50k. Then used it as a down payment on a house. Imagine the odds.

OK, here it goes. Long but useful.
In order for a slot player to hold their own and possibly hit a big jackpot on today's slot machines, they must know which machines offer the best payouts and which offer the worst. **Loose machines or tight machines.**
Once players know where the loose machines are usually located, they must know which denomination machines to play based on their bankroll and comfort level. At the end of this, I will point out the good areas to play slots
The following figures will give players an idea of how much of a bankroll is needed for each type of machine based on a three coin maximum bet with ten spins per minute at a 90 % payout rate:
Nickel Machine: $ 9.00 per hour
Quarter Machine: $ 45.00 per hour
One Dollar Machine: $ 180.00 per hour
Five Dollar Machine: $ 900.00 per hour
Next the player must decide how long to spend playing during each session and the total number of sessions for their trip. This is derived by dividing their total bankroll by the number of days for their trip. Then divide the daily allowance by the number of hours per day to be spent playing. Proper bankroll management is a key element in any slot machine stratgey.
For example: A player arrives in Las Vegas with a $ 5000 bankroll and plans to stay for five days. That allows for $1000 per day to be wagered. The player decides they want to play a total of five hours per day. This means they can afford to lose $ 200 per hour. This player would want to play dollar slots according the above information.
Once the proper denomination machine has been determined, the best slot machine strategy is to start out slowly by playing flat pay machines in the best locations. As the player increases their bankroll with winnings, they can advance to progressive and higher denomination machines.
Always read the machines payout table prior to inserting any money and always insert the maximum amount of coins. The maximum amount of coins to be played is sometimes determined by the number of paylines.
The biggest mistake that slot players make is they don't leave when they're winning. To avoid this mistake, smart players will use the credit meter to always keep track of where they stand. Players should make sure that the credit meter is activated by observing whether or not the button is lit. If this step is skipped, this could be detrimental to our winning slot machine strategy.
Dollar players should run one full rack of coins through the machine ($100 worth of coins). On a three coin maximum bet machine there will be one coin left over at the end. Hold onto that coin. Do not insert that coin into the machine. Press the CASH OUT button and put ALL the coins into a bucket or back into the original rack. Immediately walk to the cashiers window and cash out! Never play with the credits that are accumulating in the machine.
Once the player has accumulated a profit from playing only the best machines in the above manner, it's time to move up to a higher denomination machine or to the progressives playing the exact same way as the lower denomination machines.

BEST SLOT MACHINE LOCATIONS
The best places within the casinos to find loose slot machines are no longer the front entrance of the casino or the edge of the aisles. Casinos are now placing mid-paying and tight machines in these locations. Smart slot players should look for high paying machines in the following areas:
Best Slot Machine Location #1 - On elevated carousels.
Machines programmed with higher payouts are located in the areas that are most visible from all angles. Players are more likely to insert more money into their own machines after seeing a big winner from one of these easily viewable locations.
Best Slot Machine Location #2 - Next to change booths.
Players waiting in line to purchase coins are enticed to buy more change and play longer after hearing and seeing excited players celebrating a big win.
Best Slot Machine Location #3 - Near cafes and coffee shops
Loose machines are often strategically placed in these locations to encourage players to finish eating quickly and get back to playing their own machines.
On your next visit to a casino, search for slot machines in the above described locations for optimal payoffs. A great deal of thought and planning goes into the placement of slot machines in a casino. Now you know their secrets.
