Playing Online Slots The Smart WayWebsite Gambling Article by - Ryan D - Nov 18, 2006
We all dream of playing slots and hitting it big. We all know that it is possible to wager a small amount and become an instant millionaire. However the reality of playing slots, be it at a land based or internet casino is that you play until you have no money left to play with and possibly feel disappointed that you played. It does not have to be like this. Even in a game like slots, that is largely a game of chance, there is a way to play smarter and more successfully.
Stop playing when you are ahead - know when to stop playing.
When playing slots there is a good chance, that at some stage, you will be ahead. It may not be a lot of money, but you are in the money. What most players tend to do is hope that they will win more, so they keep playing. Its pure greed that keeps players playing. And what usually happens is they play back all that they have in the hope of winning big (or bigger).
The fact of the matter is that the longer you play, the greater the probability that the casino will win. So don't be greedy and don't play for too long. Know when to stop playing.
Play slowly and determine upfront what you want to achieve in playing. Determine how many hours you want to play for as well as how much you would like to win. If you determine this before playing and stick to it, the chances are you will have a more rewarding playing experience.
Establish realistic and achievable goals and stop playing once you achieve your goals. For example, lets assume you are happy to play $100 on a slot machine, and you want to make $25 000. This is not very realistic. You may make $30 and can walk away from the machine with $130. That's a 30% return!! Where else can you make 30% in such a short space of time. You need to be realistic and stop playing when you are in the money.
However, your goal may be to make your $100 last for 2 hours, than play for 2 hours and stop thereafter, whether you are ahead of the game or not. You have achieved your goal.
Know your machine by reading the payout table. Before you begin to play an unfamiliar machine, read the payout table and other information. It will tell you how many coins to play for he maximum payout. Its horrible to see the jackpot combinations come up and you have not played enough coins to win.
We can summarize what is required to play successful slots by referring to the term "discipline". You need to be disciplined to know when it is time to stop and stop. You need to set realistic playing goals and stick to them. Play slow, know your machine and stop playing when you have attained our goals. You may not win the big one, but you won't lose either and your playing experience will definitely be more rewarding.
