Slot Machines Inside Out
Crank and bank baby. That's one of the many slogans that you'll hear echoed throughout casinos in Vegas. Slot players tend to be a weird bunch. My favorite are the little old ladies that wear the "slot glove" on one hand, AKA Michael Jackson.
Okay, let's put aside the silly things we all do and get down to brass tacks. This article is about how slot machines actually work. By understanding some basics, we can dispel common myths and nonsense and have much more fun-heck, we may even hit a mega jackpot.
Rip apart the slot machine and you'll find the "money component" known as the RNG, which stands for Random Number Generator. The job of this little baby is to basically sit back sipping on Margaritas while cranking out numbers nonstop. Every millisecond a new number is generated. That's some hard work.
When you pull the lucky handle or smack the money button to play, the number that was generated by the RNG that millisecond is passed and this becomes your outcome. That number tells the system what to do. At the precise moment you did one of those actions, your fate for that spin was sealed. Now, the slot machine simply needs to play it out for you-and that's where the suspense and fun comes in.
Right next to the RNG is the memory chip that logs how much you've won or lost-no, no, I'm just kidding. If you look for this memory chip, you'd be hunting until the cows come home. There's no memory chip. That's right folks. The slot machine doesn't know if you just walked up and put in a $1.25 or if you've been there on an eight-day bender. It only operates one spin at a time and from spin to spin.
The "honestly" in the game comes from mathematics. Casinos don't need to know if it's "your' time to win or if you've won too much. The mathematics guarantee an outcome. Slot cycles can go on for eons, so never, ever think you're all set to win. It's just not so. Technically, a slot machine could hit three mega jackpots in a row or go without one for days, weeks, months or years depending on play and such.
The cycle is actually hundreds of thousands of spins. I don't know about you, but I'm not playing on machine that much at once just to make sure I get my bars lined up. Slot machines are fun to play-especially the new ones-but just remember that they are random machines.

Slots - Its History And Game Rules
In the early days of slot machines, the alias they went by was "One Armed Bandit". This moniker was put on these early machines since there was a lever on the side of each machine that the player pulled to play the wager that had been deposited. The wheels in the machine whirled and if the player was lucky, three cherries line up or some other payoff and the winnings were dropped in a tray at the base of the machine. The actual date of the first slot is about 1891. The five-wheel machine displayed possible poker hands elements and if they lined up the player collected from the machine owner. This antique was built by a New York firm called Pitt and Sittman. The next slot was the Fey machine built by Charles Fey. The Liberty Bell as his machine was called was a monstrosity of cast iron, which weighed in at over 100 lbs. This was a true slot as the player deposited coins and if the pull produced a winner, paid the huge sum of fifty cents. The wheels in this machine had stars, horseshoes and playing card suits like spades or hearts. The Liberty Bell Saloon in Reno, owned by grandchildren of Fey, has the first Liberty Bell on display.
The next version also by Charles Fey had the famous fruit images and ever since, the three cherries became a symbol for slots. One of the novel machines built by Fey dispensed gum on every pull to defeat the prohibition against slots.
The selling of gum was supposed to make it a dispenser and not a gambling device.
The modern age of slots was begun when the slots went electric and then the microchip, which were really put in play to defeat the cheaters who knew how to beat the mechanical slots. The computer board machines also eliminated the lever and the one armed bandit had lost its arm. This progression into the modern age of slots started in the 1960s. Now the slots are so sophisticated and have so many bells and whistles, the early developers would be flabbergasted to see a modern progressive slot. The Internet slots are another advancement that uses a random wheel generator and computer boards instead of wheels and the other elements that are still found in the old slots. Every week or so there is a new slot brought out for the player's entertainment.
Slot Play
Playing a modern slot takes luck for the most part and very little skill unless the slot is a Video Poker machine. The only decision a player makes on a regular slot is the coin value and how many lines to play per game. The progressive slots demand a max coin value on all lines played in order to get the massive payoffs some of these slots reward to a winning line. The progressive slots and the mega slots are set up to build a huge pot for players to shoot at and try to win. In some cases the slot is tied into a bank of slots that are actually in play in different casinos. These multi-site slots build up the progressive pot much quicker and are therefore attractive to the thousands of players who try their luck.
Single line slots are still found online and in live casinos, but they are becoming harder and harder to find. The public seems to like the multi-line slots as they get more action per game. Most players will automatically play the five-coin max in order to have a shot at the bigger payouts.
The Video Poker craze is a continuing phenomenon. The players like the decision making part of the game as well as being able to set the size of the coins and the number of lines to play per game. The payouts on these games can be rather high and the jackpots are sizeable in many of the VP slots. The games are very popular as the player gets to pick and choose the poker hand they are trying for. Many a Royal Flush is made due to the selection of the cards that were available when the game is first started. Some players will only play for the Royals and will keep any cards that are part of a Royal Flush. Others will only play parts of sure wins and hope to get the entire Royal in one fell swoop.
Solid poker players that play video poker have an advantage when first learning to play video poker as they have a better feel for the game. This advantage is quickly put to rest when the player learns that reasonable poker draws are often not the way to play if you want to take a shot at the jackpots.
Conclusions
Continuous growth of the number of variants to this poker game and the rapidly gaining popularity are high marks that Video Poker is setting in the casino world.
The early popularity has done nothing but continue over the last few years with all of the new games and wild card games that have been brought out for play. The additional bet after a winning hand has allowed the player to have even more gamble per game. Auto hold and analyzers have helped players make better drawing decisions.
Mega slots and multi-casino slot banks have helped to grow larger jackpots in less time. The size of the possible wins is attracting non-players to slots. This growth is one of the reasons that the slot providers keep adding to the game list for online casinos. The colorful games and many themes of the new slots have also helped to maintain slot game preferences. Out of all of the slot games that are now available online, there is one that will appeal to most players. The stick-em-up days of the one armed bandits has long ago been replaced by high tech games with multiple decisions to be made to come out a winner.

Playing Classic Slots
Slots have been around for a long time and they have been immensely popular through the ages. Though the game has become more sophisticated over the years, the classic slot machine is still favorable to a great many. If you are new to slots and you hear the term classic slots you might wonder if you are missing out on something. If you have played slots on a three reel slot machine than you have played classic slots. The reason that this is considered the classic version is because this is the way the game started out, with just three reels. The original slot machine was the Liberty Bell and had the three reels, so today this is considered the classic style machine among many different varieties.
Many like the class slots because there are a lot less outcomes than there is on a five reel or seven reel machines. In addition, a class slot machine can provide the player with as many as five payout lines, which includes three horizontal combinations and 2 diagonal lines, all of which payout relatively well if you bet the maximum. Because there are far less outcomes, when the five reel slot machine was introduced in the 1970s it was not considered the best way to play the game. Unfortunately there were simply too many combinations and the players got tired of rarely winning, and when they did win they never won very big.
While odds are better with the classic or three reel slot machines, players should know that the odds are not better than those found on video slots. The reason for this is that the reels are weighted. If the reels were not weighted than players would constantly be paid because of the somewhat limited combinations and the casino would not make any money. With the weighted wheels chances of winning are good, but they aren't as good as they would be if the reels weren't weighted at all!
Many people find that classic slots are simply more fun to play than any of the other variations that are out there today. Video slots are very popular today, as are the five and seven reel slot machines that have multiple payout lines. If you enjoy these variations on the classic you aren't alone, but many people find that there truly is not anything quite like the classic slots. All slot games are a game of chance, but there is something about the three reel or classic slot machine that make a lot of people more excited about their chances of winning, even if they don't win millions.
Many like the class slots because there are a lot less outcomes than there is on a five reel or seven reel machines. In addition, a class slot machine can provide the player with as many as five payout lines, which includes three horizontal combinations and 2 diagonal lines, all of which payout relatively well if you bet the maximum.

A Great Way To Beat Online Slots
It's not just your dream; it's the American Dream. You waltz into a casino, fumble around for a quarter, drop it in the first slot you see and moments later the bells and sirens are informing everyone you have just won the jackpot!
It's a nice dream but in the real world, it rarely happens. Take a look at how you can make slots pay off for you in the real world of online gaming.
It's a strategy called "Hit and Run" and yes, it's been around for sometime, but few possess the discipline to make it work. Many people don't even think about using it online, but try using the concept and you may see more cash coming into your pocket rather than going overseas!
For example, you start out with a bankroll of $100. When you are up 10%, move on to the next online casino. Start with the same $100 and when you are up 10%, move on to the next. Do you see how this works? You are willing to sacrifice the chance of the main jackpot but are willing to take small gains.
It may not have as much appeal as hitting a jackpot, but you'll enjoy the feeling of being a winner for the rest of the day.
When you are up by $50 to $100 then quit. Why? After awhile you will grow tired of the repetition and even though you won't mean to, greed will set in and all of your hard work to earn that $50.00 -$100.00 will disappear and the casinos will take it back with a grin!

Some Online Slot Machine Tips
Online casino slot machines are a very random game of chance, but there are certain basic money management and playing tips that can maximize your bankroll and increase your chances of success and of winning the big jackpots.
Tip 1. Know Your Machine: Sounds obvious, but there are many players who play and then realize they have not played the right amount of coins for optimum payout!
Tip 2. Go for highest payback possible: It's a game of chance; so if lady luck shines on you, get the biggest payback. The player has a far better chance of winning on online slot machines when payback percentages are bigger.
Tip 3. Play maximum coins at all times: Payback percentages are calculated to include jackpot amounts. Jackpots generally, are only paid on maximum coins played. If you play less than maximum coins, your payback will be less. You want the best chance of the jackpot and a big payback, that's the fun of online slots, so play maximum coins.
Tip 4. Check the payback percentage: Online casinos typically payback 75 - 97%. Look for casinos that have online slot machines with payouts of 95% or more. They are out there and your odds of bigger paybacks are of course greater on these machines.
Tip 5. Play Video Poker Slots: If you enjoy them, play Video Poker machines. The house edge is less and payback is usually better if certain basic strategies are used.
Tip 6. Set Your Bank Roll In Advance: Your Playing Strategy must be set up BEFORE you play slot machines; only gamble what you can afford to lose. Going into a casino or online, it's easy to lose track of time and money. With the adrenalin rush of playing, time and money can go very quickly!
Tip 7. Don't forget single payline machines: If you have small bankroll, these machines are less expensive to play, so you can play for longer and you still have the chance of winning a jackpot.
Tip 8. Play only two coin or three coin machines: Your money will of course last longer on a two coin max machine, than on a three coin max machine. You will be able to play and have the thrill of pursuing the jackpot for longer.
Tip 9. Don't play online progressive slots on a small bankroll: Payouts on progressives are much lower than on regular slot machines. For the casual player, they are a poor choice to play, as they consume your bankroll quickly.
Tip 10. Have A Win Target: When playing online slot machines most players have a quit time or amount of money they are prepared to lose, but many make the fundamental mistake of giving back their winnings. Have a win target, if lady luck smiles on you, then quit and enjoy some of your winnings.

This group of slot tournament chasers will show up for Hollywood Casino's slot tournament event and then a month later, you will see them at a tournament at the Grand Casino in Tunica. Though there are only a handful of these people who continually participate, the prize pool keeps them focused on playing the slot tournaments.
Some of the best kept secrets stay with these folks but there are a few tips that you can "catch on to" on your own. For instance, if you notice a familiar slot tournament player, you will notice they never drink right before they play a tournament because it slows down their reflexes. Many people use two hands to play the tournaments and continually hit the button to try to catch as many hits on the payline as possible.
Some of the "winners" will stand, not sit during the tournament, so they have more power to "put behind" the pushing of the button multiple times. There are other "tricks" many of these Champions of the Slot Tournaments use, but we may never know what they are unless we follow some of them very close because they are not known for sharing them out loud.
Many slot players believe there is power in numbers and if they are married or gamble with a significant other they ask a host how much play is required to be "invited" to the invitational tournaments.
While it may not seem like something you want to pursue, special "invitational" tournaments can secure you a spot where the top prize is into the tens of thousands of dollars. It is worth checking out to have a shot at the big bucks these tournaments provide.

Slot Machines Get A Facelift
You may not have thought it but women and slot machines have a lot in common. If you ever go into the middle of the casino, close your eyes and just stand still for a moment you'll know exactly what I am talking about. Next time you visit the casino, just do it and you will remember this comparison and know what you read here is the sound truth.
If you don't visit a casino very often you will notice how the slot machines get a new make-over the next time you set foot in one. The machines come in all denominations and sizes too. For example, the new machine could be loudest one on the casino floor ringing out as though a jackpot has been hit each time the smallest of wins occurs.
The manufacturer will find something wrong with the earlier version of a particular machine and low and behold go back to the drawing board for more gaming excitement and a fresh new look. Then, the new and improved version will be louder and brighter, with a lot more appeal than the earlier incarnation.
Like slot machines, some women need more frequent or dramatic make-overs than others. The women you see in casinos are from all walks of life; some come in dripping with expensive diamonds and pearls and head straight to the $100 machine. You also see another "denomination" in T-shirts and jeans, pouring out the last of their child benefit into the nickel machine. The size thing doesn't really need to be addressed, but women are like slot machines, that is a fact.
If you are still standing in the casino with your eyes closed you will hear the slot machines over anything else. However, if you listen really closely, you will hear something like a yelp. It's a woman who's jabbering away, completely oblivious to the comparison that we have made today.
If she wins at the slots, we know exactly what will happen. Everyone in the casino will hear her whiny, screeching voice above the noise of the one-armed bandits and the casino in general.
So the next time the casinos have a new slot version to hit the floor and the lady your with is getting on your nerves with her hand stuck out for "more", think to yourself, what would the casino do?
Isn't it obvious? Go back to the drawing board of course!

This popularity has now spread to online casinos increasing the amount of people playing slots by millions. So why are online slot machines so popular? Well, they are easy and fun to play, but they also offer the prospect of million pound jackpots and huge paybacks if lady luck smiles on the player. No wonder, online slot machines are driving a major portion of the huge growth in online casinos.
History
Slot machines were invented by Charles Fey, a car mechanic, who wanted a game that would amuse his customers while they waited for their cars to be fixed. These first slot machines were made of cast iron and massive in size. His first three machines were slot machines that paid out at about 1/5 per cent and became hugely successful. People soon started coming to Fey's shop just to play his slot machines even without cars to fix! When Fey saw that his slot machines were so popular, he decided to sell them to a local toy manufacturer, who would mass market them to all the casinos. The slot machine has not looked back since and although the idea is still the same; the technology and payouts of slot machines have increased dramatically. Today's online slot machines are more sophisticated, but are still easy, fun to play, and offer bigger jackpots than ever before.
How to Play
The basics of playing slots could not be easier; you deposit a coin, or coins, pull the lever, and compare the results to the machine's payout schedule and hope you're the lucky one to get a payback. There are decisions to be made about which slot machines to play and how much to play in them; careful selection by you, the player in these areas, will help you increase your winnings potential.
Online Slot Machines
The rise of computer culture led to a revolution in the design of slots. While the old machines had actual reels that spun to determine the outcome of the play, the computerized machines of today have any number of symbols on any number of reels. The symbols displayed are determined by a random number generator (RNG), which is constantly selecting a number series that correspond to the different symbols on the various reels. When a player plays, the random number generator tells the computer program which symbols should appear. The visible spinning of the reels is for entertainment value only, and has nothing to do with which symbols will eventually appear on the pay line.
Machines To Play
Online slot machines fall into two basic categories; flat tops and progressives. They differ x in the way that they payout. A flat top slot has the predetermined payouts for given combinations printed on the machine. Progressive slots feature a jackpot that grows by a percentage of each coin played in the machine. Progressive slots normally have digital readouts advertising the current jackpot total, and this can be a life changing amount of seven figures or more.
A Fun Money Making Game for All
Online slot machines are popular because they are fun and easy to play. If you learn some basic slot playing tips, you have as much chance of winning the million pound jackpots or receive a large payback as anyone else. All you need to do is learn some basic strategy.

How to Win a Slot Jackpot
Slot machines contain a "random number generator" (RNG) microcomputer that constantly spits out numbers. These random numbers correspond to positions on each of the reels in the machine. When a player pulls the handle or pushes the spin button he is not really initiating anything except the spinning of the reels, which is merely for show. He is simply telling the machine to display the reel positions that correspond to the last set of random numbers that were generated.
Certain tips on how to win a jackpot
The following are the tips of playing successfully in a slot machine.
1. Only play the best paying machines - Look for machines that payout between 95 and 99 percent. These are mostly $1 and higher machines.
2. Play non-progressive machines - This is because the random number generators are programmed to produce a higher number of reels and symbols on progressive jackpot machines.
3. Bribe a casino employee - Ask an employee in the slots area which machines are the best. Offer them a cut of your profits for helping you.
4. Physical placement - When picking a machine, location factor must be looked into. The physical placement of the machine is an indicator of how loose or tight the machine is. Loose slots are found near the change booths, on elevated carousels, near the coffee shop/cafe/snack bar, etc. You must avoid tight slots. They are generally placed near casino entrances, around or near the sports book/racing areas, near the ticket/show lines, etc.
5. Do not play multiple-payline slots - Although it seems like one can have better chances playing multiple-payline slot machine, you are increasing the odds against you drastically.
6. Always use your slots card - Do not forget to insert your players' card in the reader before you begin playing and do not forget to take it with you when you leave.
7. Play with coins rather than bills - If you want to get the most play for your money, feed the machines coins rather than using bills. However, make sure that the payout percentage is worth your time.
8. Know when to stop - Discipline is necessary when gambling, regardless of what casino game it is. It's very easy to just keep playing because you think you are minutes away from the jackpot, but that can be dangerous. Pocket 25% or 50% or 75% and add the remainder to your bankroll for more playing, or keep it all.
9. Try the machine next to you if yours is not paying off - According to industry sources, the casinos hardly place two loose machines next to each other. If you are uncertain on whether your machine is loose, it may not hurt to try the machines on either side of you.
10. Contrary to popular belief, the casinos do not "hide" or move their best machines simply because people find and play them. The casinos want them to be played. When slot machine players see and hear someone hitting a jackpot, it motivates them to pump more money into their own machine in hopes of hitting their own jackpot.

Online Casino Slots Explained
What can an online casino offer to fans of slot machines? Well, practically everything, that real halls can, plus something more than that. But before we look into online slot machine halls, let's give a meaning to several notions.
"One-handed gangsters" have been divided into two categories called slots and video slots (meaning a slot of a coin-receiver). Classical slots represent three mechanic barrels with a possibility to play on 1-5 lines. Video slots are a video screen 3x5 with the game on 9-30 lines with rich additional bonus possibilities.
One can find both kinds of playing machine in an online casino. From the point of view of the games quantity and their functional possibilities online games do not yield (and to some degree they may exceed) to offline ones. The doubtless leader in the slots quantity and quality is the "Microgaming" software. The downloaded versions suggest up to 180 kinds of different slot machines, classic ones and video slots in about equal parts. The classic slots suggest a game from 1 to 5 lines.
There can be up to 10 plays with progressive jackpots which average sums vary from 5 thousand to more than one million dollars. The first 9-line video slots appeared several years ago. The play "Tomb raider" (that is known thanks to the computer game and the film "Lara Croft, tomb plunder") still holds much favour. Lara's picture of 4 floors height can even be seen in the company "Microgaming" office.
After that 20- and even 30-line video slots appeared. The video slots provide with an opportunity to win free of charge bonus rounds including prize multiplication, additional bonus games, the possibility to risk and double the win, jackpots of hundred thousand dollars. The maximum prize of such games is usually $40-200 thousand. There are of course "wild" and bonus symbols, animation that is all the variety of possibilities for what the players love video slots. Besides, the player can set the quantity of games and then games start will be conducted automatically.
The second place would be rather given to the casino with the soft of the company "Criptologic". Recently they have concluded a treaty with a popular comics publisher - the company "Marvel" and have already created more than ten video slots with popular comics heroes (we know, for example, such personages as Hulk and Spiderman). All in all, the casino suggests more than 50 classical video slots, covering 9-20 lines with the abundance of possibilities.
Another unique possibility, provided for payers of the British casino "William Hill" is the availability of English "fruity" slot-machines that function with an opportunity of "pushing" the drum in order to make it move for a little while giving a player the winning combination. At the moment when I'm writing these lines jackpot on the video slot "Millionaires' Club" exceeds $3,5 ml., that is twice as much as the previous record for the on-line casino. When you receive a current issue of the journal, the jackpot will either reach the sum of $4 ml. or it will be hit and consequently it will constitute its original sum of $400 thousand.
Such producers of slots as "RTG" and "Playtech" yield a little as to the diversity of slots (but not as to their functionality). There are classical slots and video slots with diverse functions and jackpots including the ones at one million dollar. Only the "Boss Media" out of five provider leaders yields a little its competitors as to the quality of slots, but they too possess video slots, at least for nine lines and without a full abundance of possibilities.
While evaluating slots online, it is necessary to consider such a burning question as the percentage of payment. Unfortunately, in spite of the numerous players' requests the absolute majority of casinos do not show the laid into the game percentage of payment. However, one can try to estimate it. For example, the casinos with the software from "Microgaming" and "Criptologic" publish monthly common payment percentages, notarized by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. So the average payment percentage of all the slots usually varies in the range of 94-96 %.
As a conclusion, I want to mention that an online casino represents a very wide choice of different kinds of playing machines that do not yield with their functional characteristics to those ones you can see in playing rooms. The pluses of the online playing are more comfort conditions, wide range of stakes, the presence of bonuses that can double your means for playing. Besides, some casinos give the information about payments in pawn and the honesty guarantee that is difficult to see in real world. So, if someone decides to play slots in an online casino (s)he won't regret it.

Slot Machines - Casino Gambling People
There's a lot of available games to play inside a casino whenever somebody wants to go Casino Gambling. A gambler could pick to play card games, roulettes, and other games that have evolved over time. But among these, slot machines remain to be one of the favorites of people who love Casino Gambling.
Slot machines have been around almost instantaneously as casinos. The very first machine was created in 1887. It featured the commonly known configuration of the machine. This "one-armed bandit" was also able to feature an automated system that enabled it to simplify the payout mechanism of the machine. This became popular and soon found its way into every local bar or saloon at that time. Thus, possibly initiating the beginning of Casino Gambling.
Today, variations in the popular machine have become an act of creativity for its developers. Different machines come up with very different themes. The variations could go as creative as using pirate themes, geometric shapes, just to name a few. This is probably the reason why in Britain, slot machines are more commonly called as the "fruit machines". But whatever theme developers might come up with, the basic principle behind it still remains. The characters and the number of lines might change, but nevertheless, they still follow the original game structuring of its origin. It adds to the flavor of course, that Casino Gambling people are able to enjoy the machines they are betting on, given that they have evolved to become more fun.
The development of the slot machine did not come without myths surrounding it. Some Casino Gambling people believe that certain machines become either "hot" or "cold", depending on the number hits or wins a particular machine has given. Although myths such as this have crept its way throughout different places, the odds of winning on a standard slot machine is determined by an RNG or Random Number Generator. This means that on standardized machines, the odds of winning is always the same.
There are however, some machines that are specifically programmed to increase the probability of winning. Depending on the state laws that govern a particular casino, Casino Gambling on slot machines are required to give out what is called a payout percentage. Usually, the payout percentage is somewhere between 82 to 98 percent. But in the case of Nevada where state laws are not the same as others, the baseline payout percentage of machines is set to 75. This means that supposing one spin costs $1, after 1,000,000 spins have been played, the machine should have at least returned an average of $750,000 to the players. And so goes for other machines that have a different payout percentage set.
Other machines that are commonly seen when going Casino Gambling are those that give out huge jackpot prizes. The machines that could give out as much as $7,000,000, are linked in a network of different machines. The network could also extend to other casinos, enabling a link between one casino's slot machines and the other's. However, because of the large jackpot prize being allotted by these systems, the usual case is that the payout percentage is smaller than the one from a single machine.
Casino Gambling is still predominantly based on probability. Although this is sometimes preset by programs that are usually required by state laws, the odds of winning on a slot machine and any other Casino Gambling endeavor still requires a certain amount of luck to pull off.
Slot machines have been around almost instantaneously as casinos. The very first machine was created in 1887. It featured the commonly known configuration of the machine. This "one-armed bandit" was also able to feature an automated system that enabled it to simplify the payout mechanism of the machine. This became popular and soon found its way into every local bar or saloon at that time. Thus, possibly initiating the beginning of Casino Gambling.
Today, variations in the popular machine have become an act of creativity for its developers. Different machines come up with very different themes. The variations could go as creative as using pirate themes, geometric shapes, just to name a few. This is probably the reason why in Britain, slot machines are more commonly called as the "fruit machines". But whatever theme developers might come up with, the basic principle behind it still remains. The characters and the number of lines might change, but nevertheless, they still follow the original game structuring of its origin. It adds to the flavor of course, that Casino Gambling people are able to enjoy the machines they are betting on, given that they have evolved to become more fun.
The development of the slot machine did not come without myths surrounding it. Some Casino Gambling people believe that certain machines become either "hot" or "cold", depending on the number hits or wins a particular machine has given. Although myths such as this have crept its way throughout different places, the odds of winning on a standard slot machine is determined by an RNG or Random Number Generator. This means that on standardized machines, the odds of winning is always the same.

How To Profit At Slot Machines
To make the number of wins in a slot machine maximum, people suggest playing with maximum number of coins. But by analyzing the software programs of different slot machines, we can conclude that there are certain slot machines where a person can win by playing with only a single coin.
If you are playing in a multi coin and multi line machines, it is advisable to play one coin each on as many lines as you like. These slot machines give you betting flexibility you never had before. Not only can you choose how many lines to play; now you can also choose to play more than one coin per line. You will have to decide how many lines to play and how many coins to play per line. These machines have the most complicated pay tables of any slot machine. Have patience to study the pay table. You must look carefully to see if there's a payout, like a scatter pay, that's available only when you play all lines.
As far as multiline machines are considered, one can play more than one line if landing-winning combinations on pay lines didn't activate bothers you. If not, you can play one coin on one line.
How to play in different types of slot machines
If you are playing on progressive machines, always play with maximum number of coins. If you are not following this advice, you're only increasing the jackpot for someone else with no chance of winning it yourself. These machines can be recognized by the LED displays advertising the ever-increasing jackpots, some life changing, that you can win by playing the machine.
If you are playing in a straight multiplier machine, always play one coin at a time because the payback and hit frequency are the same regardless of the number of coins you play. Another type of machine is known as bonus multipliers. In these machines, it is always better to play one coin at a time. The main reason behind this is that the chances of hitting a payout with a bonus are so small, it's not worth the extra risk. Some people argue that you're playing at a lower long-term payback when you play only one coin at a time on a Bonus Multiplier. That statement is partially true. But, again, how times does a player hit the top jackpot?
Buy-a-pays is another type of machine. In this machine the best option is to play with maximum coins. The main reason is the increase in payback and hit frequency purchased by the additional coins can turn a terrible machine into a good one. These machines can have very high hit frequencies.
A hybrid is another type of machine where the rule is to play just enough coins to activate all winning combinations. The main reason is that the extra coins are rarely worth playing in a multiplier, and hybrids are multipliers when you're in the multiplying section of the paytable. When you are playing in a hidden buy-a-pay machine the general rule is to play with maximum coins because the feature activated by playing the last coin frequently makes the last coin pay back over 100%.
If you are playing in a multi coin and multi line machines, it is advisable to play one coin each on as many lines as you like. These slot machines give you betting flexibility you never had before. Not only can you choose how many lines to play; now you can also choose to play more than one coin per line. You will have to decide how many lines to play and how many coins to play per line.

Online Slots Winning Strategy
When it comes to online casinos, the slot games are truly the tour de force of the graphic designers and game planners who get an opportunity to demonstrate originality, vision and also humor. Slots certainly provide fun, thrilling, and colorful experience, but what more can you do as a player to maximize your winnings?
At a glance slot machines seem to be a game of pure luck. Several casinos even install autoplay function for players to truly auto-pilot the game and leave it running on the screen while going to grab a snack or taking a bathroom break. However, good slot games will keep you hanging on, compelled to see what the next spin will bring about, and here enters our strategy.
Slots strategy is comprised of very basic, easy to follow rules that are more focused on human behavior than the mechanics of the game. The underlying idea is that in order to be a slots winner, one must know not only how to start, but when to stop.
Rule number one (that can and should be applied in all realms of life...) stick to what pleases you. First of all find a slot machine that you like: the visuals, the sound, the play buttons, you get the idea. Slots are based on repetitive images, so pick out a game with a nice color scheme that is easy on your eyes and drawings that suit your likings.
Multiline slots with bonus features are generally looser than one line slots, meaning that they yield more winnings. Bonus features can include wild cards that replace any other symbol to complete a line, scatter pay which multiplies your win, free rounds, or bonus games which are games within games where you gain more credits. The more rewarding features they are the more you are likely to reap.
Prepare a larger bankroll than you intend to play with just to be on the safe side. While playing you'll lose some and it's important to have a chance to retrieve your money. When playing multi-line slots always bet the max. Otherwise you may not qualify for some of the bonus features. To keep your bankroll balance you can use the smallest coin denomination (as low as one cent in most casinos) while hitting Max Bet.
The final and most important rule is to quit while you're ahead, and that's usually when you have made a profit of about 30% of your deposit. (For example, if you deposited $300, quit when you reach to $400). You may get tempted to go ahead, but it is generally a good idea to let the game (and yourself) cool down. You can always go back later.
That's all there is to it. As long as you stick to the guidelines you stand a pretty fair chance of becoming a consecutive slots winner.

Development Of Slot Machines Over The Years
Anyone who visited a casino twenty years ago knows that the biggest change brought about by modern technology has been to the slot machine. Earlier it was a very simple device. You put a coin in the slot and pulled the handle to activate the three reels. The pay table was on the front glass and if you lined up three winning symbols you won. The modern video slot machine is highly developed than used in those days.
The new slot machines are truly modern day wonders and they have many technical advantages than the machines used in the past. The new machines are run by microprocessors that make it possible to have virtual reels and many stops making it possible to offer life changing jackpots. Unlike the old ones, the new video slot machines have five, nine or even more playlines. You can also bet multiple coins on each line that you select. The winning paylines can be vertical, horizontal, diagonal or zigzag. There can be scatter pay or bonus pay symbols on the reels
Although the new slots don't come with a manual, there is a help screen to explain you how the game is played. If you are playing a game you never played before, you must spend a minute looking at the help screen and understand the game. The first screen of the help menu shows the pay lines for the game. This screen also explains how the symbols must line up for a winning spin. Many of the new video slots require that the winning symbols must start on the left reel and go to the right. The screen will also tell you how many coins you can bet on each payline.
Importance of pay table in the slot machine
The next screen you want to look at is the pay table that shows how much each symbol pays. Slot makers try to make the hierarchy of winning symbols easy to understand. Some of the games have themes that make the value of the symbols easy to understand. But there are some which are confusing and so it is always best to check the pay table, before the start.
Each machine has a table that lists the number of credits the player will receive if the symbols listed on the pay table line up on the pay line of the machine. Some symbols are wild and will pay if they are visible in any position, even if they are not on the pay line. On the older machines, it was found that the pay table is listed on the face of the machine, usually above and below the area containing the wheels. Most video machines display the pay table when the player presses a "pay table" button or touches "pay table" on the screen. Some of the machines have the pay table listed on the cabinet as well.
It is up to you to determine if you want to play a machine that affords you many smaller wins or are you the type that wants to go for a big one? By looking at the pay table you can get a general idea. Although payback percentages are set to return a set amount over the long run, anything can happen in the short run.

This can vary from game to game, as well as from casino to casino. If you do your research ahead of time by looking through advertisements and speaking to slot floor managers, you will likely be able to find a machine that pays out in the 96-98% range.
7. Play With Money From Your Initial Bankroll
Do not play with any credits you may have earned along the way. By doing so, you will always walk away from the machines with some money in your pocket. Never bring money to the casino that you need for other expenses. If you cannot afford to lose it, then you should not be playing it in the casino. Break down your casino bankroll into several playing sessions. Do not risk it all in one playing session.
8. Play Full Coin In Progressive Machines
Progressive machines offer large jackpots. The big progressive jackpot is made by taking a percentage of all the money played into the machine. You can only win the progressive jackpot if you are playing the maximum number of coins. Do not play these machines if you do not plan to do this.
9. Slow Down
Slow down when you are playing casino slot machines. There are no prizes for the player hitting the spin button the fastest. Do not play more than one machine at a time. Playing more than one machine just exposes you more to the house's edge. In the long run, you will just lose your money faster.
10. Do Not Purchase Slot Systems
Slot systems that claim they can show you which machine is ready to hit a jackpot are a scam. The Random Number Generator (RNG) determines the winning combinations of the machine. There is no way to determine if a machine is "due" to hit a jackpot.
11. Read The Pay Tables
Looking at the pay table of the machine can help you judge the frequency that the machine returns a winner. If you notice there are a lot of combinations that return smaller wins, then that machine will usually have a larger hit frequency than one that has fewer winning combinations that pay back larger wins. Some players like a lot of smaller wins more often.
12. Cashing Out
When you are finished playing, make sure you take all your coins from the tray or your voucher ticket from the machine. Next, go directly to the cage to deposit your earnings. Do not walk around with a bucket of coins because they can be spilled, lost or stolen if you set them down. If you are playing a coinless machine that pays you with a paper voucher, make sure you cash it in. Some paper vouchers have an expiration date that makes them worthless after a certain period of time.
Finally, follow these winning slots tips and you could soon be collecting your first online casino slots jackpot!
1. Pick The Right Online Slots Casino Game For You
Every online casino slots game is fun, but the variations in game play mean that each game has something different to offer. It is worth having a look around to find out which online casino slots game might suit you the most.
Also, consider how much money you have to play with and how you want to win. If you would rather win little and often and play for longer, chose an online slots game that offers a good range of small to medium payouts. If you are focused on hitting the big jackpot, then progressive online slots are for you!
2. Set A Bankroll Limit
Always decide how much money you have to play with before playing any online casino slots game - and stick to it. If things are not going your way, switch to an online casino slots game that allows you to vary the coin size.
3. Choose A Casino Slot Machine With A Low Coin Size
Many online casino slots games allow you to choose the coin size you bet with. The longer you play, the higher your chance of winning. By starting with a low amount, you will get the maximum games for your money, which gives you more playing time. Remember, you can easily switch to a higher stake when you are winning. The longer you play an individual game of online casino slots, the greater your chance of hitting the jackpot!
4. Lock Up A Profit
If you hit a jackpot, make sure that you "lock up" a profit. That means, take your initial playing stakes and a little profit and set it aside. Then play with a small percentage of your winnings. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being a winner, and then giving back all your winnings to the casino. Take a break after a hitting a jackpot. Savor the win and enjoy it!
5. Keep A Log
If you hit a jackpot over $1,200, you will be given a W2-G and your winnings will be reported to the IRS. If you keep an accurate gaming log, you can use your losses to offset your winnings come tax time.
6. Always Look For Slot Machines With Higher Payout Percentages.

How to Avoid Common Casino Slots Machine Myths
Below are some casino slot machine myths about the game of casino slots. Understanding these casino slot machine myths can help you develop the best strategies to win when you play casino slots.
Myth #1. Someone Hits A Jackpot At The Machine You Were Just Playing: That Could Have Been Your Jackpot!
False. A winning slot machine cannot be spotted by the looks of it. Even a slot machine in a bank of machines with high payout percentages is not going to guarantee a jackpot. It is the RNG which hands out the winnings - not the machine itself.
Myth #2. Play The Machines Nearest The Doors Or Aisles.
False. While you may be more comfortable in these seats and these slots are played more often, they are not always the best-paying slots. Moving over 2 or 3 machines can be more profitable.
Myth #3. Hot Coins Mean The Machine Will Win And Cold Coins Mean A Cold Machine.
False. Anyone who understands how a slot machine operates, will know that a hot coin is not going to warm up the gears and get them to loosen up. This myth was likely started by an optimistic and creative gambler who had one too many free drinks sitting at the slot machines.
Myth #4. Payback Percentages Are The Highest On The Weekends.
False. Although casinos may change their betting stakes to accommodate certain types of players at certain times of the day, the payouts of slot machines still operate on a random basis as dictated by the RNG.
Myth #5. The Casinos Can Flip A Switch To Make Machines Tight Or Loose.
False. Only the slot manufacturer can make any changes to a slot machine. Besides, most Gaming Control Boards do not allow casinos to do this.
Myth #6. Players Will Win More Often By Pulling The Arm Of The Slot Machine Rather Than Pushing The Spin Button.
False. As far as the slot machine, or better, the RNG is concerned, both of these playing options are signals to start spinning the reels. Once the reels start spinning, the RNG has already determined whether it will be a winning or losing spin. If anything, it is the timing of spinning the reels, and not how one gets them spinning.
Myth #7. Machines Pay Better If You Use A Casino Slot Club Card.
False. The slot machine does not know what a slot card is, and it certainly does not care if you use one. The RNG continues to roll with symbol combinations, taking money in any form - cash or card. The advantage to you is the slot card freebie benefits.
Myth #8. You Can Determine Your Odds Of Winning By Counting The Number Of Symbols On A Reel.
False. Remember that the RNG uses a virtual reel that corresponds to the actual reel, which will always affect the odds in a different way than would be from simply counting the symbols and spaces on the visible reels.
Myth #9. You Should Play One Coin At A Ttime To Get More Chances At Hitting The Jackpot.
False. The chances of hitting a jackpot are small. In most cases, playing the maximum number of coins increases the payout rate percentage, which is actually your better bet to walking away as a winner.
Myth #10. If A Slot Machine Advertises A 95% Payback, Then I Should Expect A Return Of $95 For Every $100 I Put Into The Machine.
False. The payback percentages are long term percentages. The long term outlook allows the casinos to average income from the machines over time, which is much longer than the time you would take to play $100 in a machine. In the short term (the time you would take to play $100), the machine could pay off a lot more or a lot less than the advertised amount.
Myth #1. Someone Hits A Jackpot At The Machine You Were Just Playing: That Could Have Been Your Jackpot!
False. A winning slot machine cannot be spotted by the looks of it. Even a slot machine in a bank of machines with high payout percentages is not going to guarantee a jackpot. It is the RNG which hands out the winnings - not the machine itself.

Slot Machine Types - Progressives and Straight
There are two slot machine types: straight slots and progressives slots. In general terms, these slots are similar except for one feature: in the straight version, the winner is paid a preset amount, whereas in the progressive version, the jackpot grows by a portion of every coin played.
Oftentimes many progressive machines feed into a single jackpot where one machine has a chance to win, and the jackpot increases immensely. These combinations can be a mixture of several machines in a casino, or can be joined to similar machines in a whole locality. Progressive machines can usually be distinguished by constantly updated electronic payoff signs shown either above the machine or above a combination.
There are various types of machines, and whether your choice is a progressive or a straight slot, players will be faced with many options. Slot Machines differ on coin denominations, the number of reels, the number of coins to play and whether they offer one or several paylines.
The quarter and dollar machines are most well-known and they are located throughout various spots on the floor of the casino. Nickel machines can still be found in most casinos and some are quite costly because of the number of coins needed to play. For high-rollers, $5, $25, and $100 machines were developed and are assigned to exclusive VIP locations.
Straight slot machines consist of three reels, but casinos provide four or more reel machine options as well. The number of reels and the amount of symbols shown on each reel determines the rate of winning. Commonly, the higher the amount of reels and symbols, the more difficult it is to win the jackpot.
The amount of symbols per reel is fed into the machine's computer, also known as the Random Number Generator, that manipulates the slot machine. The actual number of symbols is determined by the amount of the jackpot offered by the machine. The reason for feeding the symbols is to make the jackpot hard to hit so that the machine will produce sufficient money to shoulder the jackpot and yield an income for the casino. The majority of the machines are designed to pay out in the range of 83 to 98 percent of the coins inserted.
The average machine works on a maximum of two to three coins. However many newer machines require as many as 100 coins for maximum play and payoff. There are slight modifications when it comes to machines that use multiple coins. In some machines, the value of the coins is equal to the payoff and in some, the payoff is slightly higher than proportional. A one-coin jackpot is not even paid off in some machines while the three-coin jackpot commonly pays one hundred fifty percent of a two-coin win. In such cases, it is wise to play the highest number of coins.
Did You Know?
The first mechanical slot machine was called the "Liberty Bell" and was invented in 1895 by Charles Fey. Mr. Fey was employed at the time as a car mechanic in San Francisco, California. Fey's slot machine had three spinning reels, with diamonds, spades, hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell painted around each reel. The "Jackpot" for this revolutionary machine was fifty cents or ten shiny nickels.
Regular slot machines provide one payline, but machines with three or more paylines are not unusual. For several payline machines, a coin has to be used for every payline in order to get the payout for the win. When one of the lower winning combinations is hit, automatic payouts will be given by the machine. However, the bigger jackpots will be settled by an employee of the casino who is informed by a light above the machine.
In conclusion, the most common of the slot machine types is the straight slots and these machines can be found in practically every casino in the world. Whereas the progressive slots are most players favorite type of slot machine because everyone dreams of hitting the "big one" and then promptly telling their boss where to go.

When you play you are getting the advantage of the normal payouts for the slots and the remote possibility of hitting the progressive. The entertainment value is just as good with the additional possible pay off of the progressive jackpot slot payoff. If you don't have a warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach now, then read one for more info on the progressive slots.
Just because the odds of hitting the Progressive slots are astronomical that you think you'll never get it. There's always a chance, but you will NOT wil if you don't play. That's pretty much a zero percent possibility of not getting it if you don't play the progressive slots.
The progressive slots are designed like a network of slots all interconnected to farm the same information to help accelerate the progressive jackpot to a higher value faster. So a percentage of all of the money played on each manchine determines how much money will be one by the progressive jackpot. The amount of money from each machine contributing to the progressive jackpot slots builds until someone eventually wins it. Depending on where your at, online casino or land based casino, this could take some considerable time. Usually by this time the winning amount is large, very, very large.
There are three types of progressive jackpots. Here's a brief list of all three and their basic setup.
(1) Stand Alone Progressive Slots
The stand alone progressive Slot is exactly what the name suggests. It is a stand alone unit that does not pull contributions from other machines. It only takes a percentage of the incoming money from the same machine, itself. The prize amount for the jackpot is almost always lower than the grouped or networked versions because there's less money coming in overall. It usually takes a considerable amount of time to build up a prize big enough to make you ubber rich. Remember that similar machines in the same area on the same type of progressive slot system will have varying top prizes. I suggest playing the ones with the largest prizes.
(2) In-House Progressive Slots
These are a casino slot machines that are owned by one particular casino. The networking is done through their own system network. The moneys contributed to the progressive jackpot are pooled from the same slots in the same casino. There is no casino crossing to other outside groups. These prizes can grow considerable larger that the stand alone progressive slots, but not as large as the wide area progressive slots seen below.
(3) Wide Area Progressive Slots
These jackpots for the wide area progressive slots are the largest in the industry of casinos. The slot makers themselves install the slot machines and pool money from all of the same class machines from all over Las Vegas from many casinos that are not even related. This makes the jackpot absolutely astronomical.The casinosusually chare a percentage of the slots with the manufacturers, but the games are owned ny the manufacturers.
Now you know that you could win more money playing progressive slots. You now know that the Wide Area Progressive slots pay out much more than the Stand Alone Progressive Slots. The same amount of entertaining fun is found in all, but if you want to play for the big money I suggest playing the Wide Area Progressive Slots.

The prize amount for the jackpot is almost always lower than the grouped or networked versions because there's less money coming in overall. It usually takes a considerable amount of time to build up a prize big enough to make you ubber rich. Remember that similar machines in the same area on the same type of progressive slot system will have varying top prizes. I suggest playing the ones with the largest prizes.
(2) In-House Progressive Slots
These are a casino slot machines that are owned by one particular casino. The networking is done through their own system network. The moneys contributed to the progressive jackpot are pooled from the same slots in the same casino. There is no casino crossing to other outside groups. These prizes can grow considerable larger that the stand alone progressive slots, but not as large as the wide area progressive slots seen below.
(3) Wide Area Progressive Slots
These jackpots for the wide area progressive slots are the largest in the industry of casinos. The slot makers themselves install the slot machines and pool money from all of the same class machines from all over Las Vegas from many casinos that are not even related. This makes the jackpot absolutely astronomical.The casinosusually chare a percentage of the slots with the manufacturers, but the games are owned ny the manufacturers.
Now you know that you could win more money playing progressive slots. You now know that the Wide Area Progressive slots pay out much more than the Stand Alone Progressive Slots. The same amount of entertaining fun is found in all, but if you want to play for the big money I suggest playing the Wide Area Progressive Slots.
