What are the best tips or strategies to win at slots?
Hello, wikiHow! I’m a budding casino enthusiast and while I certainly know there are strategies and tactics you can use to win at something like Blackjack or Poker, how do you win at slot machines? Is there any kind of rhyme or reason to slots? I’m assuming there might not be, but the people who are into slots seem really into slots, so maybe they know something I don’t? Any tricks to win?

Winning at slots is entirely random chance so you'd probably be better off putting your money in a savings account...

I think the only way to increase your chances at winning at slots is to spend more money, but then you also end up losing more money...

I miss the regular slot machines. That show you one straight line. Not 10 or more. I hate that.

In my experience, there is only one strategy that will win you money at slot machines consistently: own the slot machine. It’s a bit of a common joke among gamblers, but it’s also true—slots are designed to win the house money. They’re kind of the scratch-off lottery tickets of the casino. They’re cheap to play, deliver a little bit of fun and dopamine, and they’re addicting because the risks are relatively low in terms of the buy-in. But yeah, slots are not a type of game you can optimize for. If you’re going to play the slot machines, set hard limits for yourself and don’t gamble a lot of your bankroll away. If possible, go on to some other game where you actually can gain an edge by playing smart. Blackjack, Poker, Baccarat, craps, and roulette all offer better odds in the dark. You can also strategize for those games, so you can earn more if you know the games well.

Most of the table games are very expensive to play when you are on vacation w out a limited budget per day !!!? It’s very disappointing to me cause I love to play the tables !!!!!

Some people feel luckier if they do things like rub the screen before they push the button or have a lucky friend push the button

Depends on your Bankroll, if you're Building one, play low Vol Slots, like blazing 7's, build your bankroll from 50 to 100. Then find slots with a good pay out. Always read the game rules and the pay table so you know what your playing. Then play until you get 1 bonus, whatever it is take it and walk away. This will be hard to do, if you turn 100 into 300 still walk away. If you must stay, pocket your winnings and just put what you started with in another slot. Repeat the process. Understand you won't win every time or even every week, but I have done this method for a good while now, and I find I always walk out of the casino with something to show for it.

I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that the machines by doors and walkways pay out more because the casino wants people to see other people winning and get enticed to play
