First, steer clear of the jackpot slots...the expected return will include the jackpot and be lower than other slots. Secondly, try "incremental" betting (Outdated URL (Invalid)). Example: do 50 spins at $1 then, then increase it every 50 spins until you get the feature or a decent payoff, then start over Those would be my hints. Probably stick with a medium variance machine if you want some decent pays every now and again and get a "winner screenshot" - low variance slots will last longer but you won't get many hits worth shouting about.

I do the opposite ...I am all excited at first ...deposit $100 ($50 if my husband is reading this) and feel all brave betting $2.25 then I lose $20 and get scared & drop it to $1.50 then lose $20 more and drop it to $.90, then .45 then when I have like $5 left I am betting .09 trying to make it last.
I do need a different strategy...I just need to stop being a wus.
