I received an email revealing the secrets on how to win the slot machines. One of the tip is to learn the average number of spin it takes for the slot machines the player is playing to pay off 10x our bet.I thought to myself if this is true, its only mean that everyone is a guaranteed winner. This is a game of chance and I dont think we ever gonna know the secrets or beat the slot machines. Whats your opinion? Do you think this is a game of chance or you can apply strategy to win?

Hello abroji, you are lucky because you have no casinos in your country. The introduction of casinos has cause a lot of people to loose a huge sum of money everytime they gamble. Thank for your response.

Slots are a game of chance and I don't think there is a way to beat them. It takes a lot of patience and luck. You m ost often lose more money than you win. I do'nt think there is a strategy that you can apply to win in gambling.

Hi mamasan34, slots are definitely games of chance. I think the player should know which slot machines have not make any payout yet.

I will admit when it comes to playing these... I usually will Stop when I get ahead. It just makes no sense to me these people that keep on Betting BIG all of the time to only loose $1000s of dollars everytime they go to a Casino. And as to a Strategy, is is hard telling what it is. But I know one thing when a machine you are on gets really Cold it is time to switch machines. Plus I was told never go play immediately on a machine that just paid out a certain amount, as it will not hit again like that for a while. Anyone know if this is True?

The only winner here is the owner of the slot machine :-) I never play these machines hun, they will take your money and leave you broke. I have watched people feed machines for hours, sometimes winning a few pounds but in reality they spend a lot more than that.

I agree with you totally. I think most of the players realized this but they cannot stop themselves from gambling. It is like an addiction. Thanks for your respond.

slot machine - no one can win at slot machine.
Hello,ellie,I think no one can actually beat the slot machines,those who can win is only because they are lucky and nothing else. The machines will in fact calculate the percentage of money it will give out to the players,let say there is 1000 dollars in the machine and 15%(150) will be give out,but the chance of the money to be given out is random and no one know when it will happen and there is no guarantee of winning.

Hello easy888, thanks for stopping by. That is very true. The slot machines is set to give the owner big profit and only give a small percentage of payout to the lucky players.

It may or may not be true but the fact is the casinos watch what players are doing and change the slot machines so that the odds change a little every now and again. I have a sister-in-law that used to work on those machines, and while they have to "winnable" there are many different odds depending on the machine you are on. For instance you might clean up with that formula on nickel slots but you would probably fail miserably at Poker slots. SO its a toss up. There is only a few rules they have to follow as far as setting those machines up. Mostly they just have to make sure they are paying taxes correctly on the money that goes into and out of the machines. Remember how much you get back sometimes depends on how much people have played it up until you get there. If one person won 200 bucks on it before you..chances are it will be awhile before you can win that much if you sit down at the machine. Then there is the thing with machine resets. Every time someone wins a big jackpot (like a couple of thousand or higher) the machine gets reset and the odds start all over again.) You aren't going to win that $2000 jackpot. You might win one bigger or none at all. Depends completely on timing I believe.

Yes, you are right ariesflame. I heard about other winners sharing their experience about winning tips. Its true what you say about machine resets and how many times the machines have been spinned. But I still think it is a game of chance and as you say, timing. Thanks for your respond.
