Slot Strategy Rumors and Techniques

Slot machine strategies are as varied as the slot machines themselves, with years of accumulated old-wives tales dealing with concepts like the "looseness" of a certain machine or casino, and if a slot machine is "due" or not. One way or another, slot machines are by far the most profitable gambling aspect a casino has in its repertoire. This is particularly interesting, given that it is almost common knowledge that slot machines have some of the worst odds than any other game in a casino - Only Keno can compete for that position.

It is the mentality of wanting to play a certain slot machine until it hits the jackpot, (because one feels it is due to give after "investing" so much into it) that hits a player's bankroll the hardest. This is not the best strategy; On the contrary, it is essentially the strategy of a compulsive gambler. The misconception comes in where the player thinks that since the casino is required to return the majority of the money wagered on its slot machines, which is true, that it will come in a large sum...to them. On the contrary, the majority of the casinos payout comes from small slot machine payouts that could hardly have a chance at recouping your "invested" losses.

A player could sit down and put one-thousand dollars into one machine and only get paltry pay-outs in return, while another could sit down and put one dollar in and win the biggest jackpot - This is the mystique of the slot machine...the "just one more pull" mentality.

There are some tricks that could hold water - Like the rumor that the slot machines facing the paths where the majority of the people are walking by are set to be looser  in order to draw passer-bys into the casino. But, the best strategy comes from setting a gambling limit, and sticking to it, as well as knowing the right machines to play.
