A review on Frank Legato's book How to Win Millions Playing Slot Machines!...Or Lose Trying would only be fair by first commenting on how funny and sharp Legato's insight and writing style is. That being said, Legato is also a very experienced slot player, with over twenty years of work spent researching and playing the machines themselves. Legato has been writing about slots for just as long, and currently writes several columns, including a very prolific one at the highly frequented Strictly Slots online casino. He was a founding editor of Strictly Slots magazine (the first national magazine for slot and video poker players) and was on the editorial staff of Casino Player. He currently serves as the managing editor of the trade journal, Global Gaming Business. How to Win Millions... contains a wealth of great information about slot machines in the U.S., although some critics would say that Legato needs to brush up on his knowledge about Midwestern casinos in the U.S. However, the book makes up for a few erroneous comments (the number of casinos in operation in Illinois) with all the laughs and helpful strategy tips it contains. The format and writing style is what makes this slots book one of the best. While there are some gambling authors who know what they are talking about, and have a helpful thing or two to share about slot machines, they sometimes make things too boring and complicated. Legato, on the other hand, dishes up his insight in a creative format that takes the readers on a road trip full of slots gambling action. Traveling from Las Vegas, to Mississippi, and to his stomping grounds of Atlantic City, How to Win Millions... covers everything from Legato's favorite Indian casinos to the best racinos offering slot machines. Readers will appreciate the books honesty and directness, for it does not attempt to sugarcoat anything. Legato tells you like it is - commenting on the character and management of each place he stops to pull the arms at. The content of this book covers many topics, which include slot machine operations, myths and facts about slot machines and playing them, specific advice on which machines to play, how to maximize winnings by cutting down the House Edge, in depth strategies on money management and progressive jackpot betting, as well as how to spot scams, shady slot machine promotions and rigged machines. How to Win Millions Playing Slot Machines!...Or Lose Trying by Frank Legato is a great read. It is an even better read if you have a good sense of humor. That being said, if you are a very serious person and like to cut to the chase, you may get impatient with Legato at times. He likes to have fun with his writing material, and so is not as short-winded as other authors. However, if you like to take things in good fun, yet still yearn to know all there is about creating the best winning conditions at slot machines, you should assuredly read this book.
