Don't make the same mistake i have made playing slots i get very lucky in the past two months on Iron PokerPoker turning 20 into 2K playing Iron man 2 hitting the big one feature once for 500 and increasing the bet trying once again to get to this feature as the size of the bet bigger on any jackpot slot increases the chance of getting to the jackpot feature but did not happen again last week i did a cash out of 80 and left 10 for slots and got the bankroll up over 300 did i stop no again stupid mistake instead i should cash out most and leave some for poker games haven't had much time lately with work for any games which is a good thing i guess anyway my point is when you get a good winning streak on slots take a break and hit the withdrawl button GL.

That is the biggest mistake most people do with slots. After winning amounts like that they are trying for even more. This is not happening, and if it does it will be the exception to the rule Right there you stop, you are hitting the cash out button and leave a few credits for another day Better luck next time.

Yup. The trick is not playing them. If you do play them, just like in poker, don't chase your losses, cos you will simply plough more and more money into the game and eventually lose out...... Unless you are super lucky and hit a big win, which is statistically unlikely!.

I have said that before but it will say it again. I am so jealous with this party poker offer. Slots is my favorite game And if you get free tickets is even better, cause you can win money without sweating

Slots are always going to be a losing gamble if you don't withdraw at a specific point.You can always deposit again after a withdrawal.I try not to play with much my own money unless I am really bored.As for jackpot games I have never had much luck with those.

well the only way to win in the long term on slots is to wait for some random dudes to fill them up and get very little in return... then sit down with a fat wallet and milk the slot until it pays out big time. slots are preprogrammed to pay out a certain percentage, so if someone is being paid out below that percentage for a long time, it's more or less certain for someone who replaces him to be paid out more than the usual pay out percentage...

Many people do what pochui said, especially old ladies that are hooked with slots They wait behind you watching you play, and when you leave they sit down.
Some times it is annoying having always someone watching you, and in a couple of casinos i have been, unless you know the one playing the slots you are not allowed to watch.

I consider slot games a black hole for money. House edge and game speed are high, so the balance usually goes downhill really fast. Of cause a high variance slot offers the chance of a good hit, but one could play the lottery, if that is what one is hoping for.

I have seen the poachers many times and maybe have been guilty myself of watching drunks fill a machine that they can't play.I also remember the old slots with the £15/25 jackpot that when they got full all the lights would go red and you were guaranteed a jackpot...sometimes multiple repeats.
