Slot Strategy

[lojo]

Hi Folks;
I know this is not a new idea, and I have searched and read many of the posts on this subject: AkA23 'gambling log', Addisyn 'teach me to play slots', and a few others. I've studied Kasino Kings site and strategy and Simmo's method at oggs.com. All very insightful. And when I'm back in the saddle I'll practice each of the methods.

I'm using my downtime by playing 'thoughtfully' in play mode; revisit my homecooked ideas and mixing in other people's ingredients.

It's a little harder to keep a log now without 'Playcheck' to cut and paste into a spreadsheet, but I'm just counting spins and results.

Best I've done so far was to take Simmo's Thunderstruck method and use it in TombRaider starting with 9 lines. As I got into my fourth incremental increase, I increased lines instead of coins, hoping for the 'inevitable' free spins and she showed up. Nice. Just keeping a paper log of my imaginary withdrawals.

I usually only play MG, but any RTG input would be more than welcome. I'm getting used to the interface in practice mode. I'm glad to share what has worked for me in the past.

Regards, and have a spin for me and all the other yanks who got caught with our pants down

1) Make sure you have plenty of time available for your session.

2) Start with a minimal stake comfortable with your bank roll.

3) Increase this stake if you double your original bank roll.

4) Increase again if you increase your bank roll by a futher 50%.

5) Repeat.

6) Hit a biggie.

7) Cashout.

Well, that's the theory anyway.

and especially for RTG my advice is: Change slots very often and leave them after very few spins, if the dont pay. - those slots are streaky - you can easily spend you entire bankroll at one of them as long as it is cold.
I have read about 1000 spisn without a feature. On the othe side: If they start to pay: stay with them. feature might show up several times within few spins.

Strategy is overrated. Just spin

Slot Strategy, .......isn't that an oxymoron


I have to agree with tencardcharlie, just close your eyes and spin man.


If everything to do with a slot machine is trully random per RNG machine how could there be any kind of Strategy, other than knowing when you have lost enough money to quit.

I agree - but you can also experiment with different methods of play that may extend your gameplay.

I don't see anything wrong with that if you enjoy playing slots.

Yeah, I did that for about a year and had some fun. And I still do the occasional wild ass spin when I'm up some bucks. But it's pretty rare to hit on one of those for me. (because I can only afford so many big throws) I usually make my money by betting low, trying to 'stay alive' long enough to hit a feature, then playing larger pulls from there on profits. It just keeps me in the game longer with occasional opportunities to hit it big

The times I've done something like go into TombRaider and hit the 10x button at betmax ($37.50) I have kicked myself for awhile waiting for my 'discretionary income' to fill back up so I could play again. But by playing it safe I can sometimes bet big on 'their money', know what I mean?

And you guys may be absolutely right in the long run... if I'm gonna hit a clump or streak, I'm gonna hit it. If I don't know when to quit, I will eventually be out of money anyway.

You must have some sort of rules for yourself when you sit down to play? I know I might overthink some things, but that is one of the fun things to me in slots. Maybe I should have said 'session strategy'? But I'm looking for more than that really.

Sure - ther is an RNG. But the most exciting question for a slot player is (ok: at least for me): How does it work. And if there are streaks, can you read a slot and predict what will happen in the next spins?
This can be one sort of "strategy" - the other, more reasonable one, is to adopt a strategy on how to develop your bets when you win, to decide when to cashout and be strong enough not to reverse the cashouts.

The simple answer is no, no one can, not even Michael Shackleford

Totally agree with that statement !
