Being a winning slot machine player is impossible. All slot machines are specifically designed in order to give the house a long term edge, so the house will always come out ahead if you play long enough. One way to fight the house edge on slot machine games is to play a game with a really big jackpot, bet the max every time you play, and hope that you hit the jackpot. An easier time locating you do hit the really big jackpot, guess what you do next? Stop playing that game.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you shouldn't play slot machines. In fact, I think video slot games, especially the really good ones, are a lot of fun. But you want to keep in the attention of your mind that mathematically, what you're doing when you're playing a slot machine on a long term basis is paying for entertainment. You can calculate how much you're paying for that entertainment by multiplying the house edge times your average bet times your number of spins hourly.dewa poker

For example, if you're playing a video slot game with a payout of 95%, then the house edge is 5%. (The casino keeps 5% of each bet you make long term. ) And if you're average bet is $3, then you're going to pay an average of 15 cents per spin to the house. (5% times $3. ) Assuming you're making 500 spins hourly, that game costs you $75/hour to play, which can or may not be a reasonable price for you entertainment. That depends on your money.

Something else to factor into your calculations is how much the perks and bonuses you're getting back from the casino are worth. If you're playing in a land-based casino where you're getting free drinks while you play, then you can subtract the cost of those drinks from you're hourly cost. (Or contain the cost of those drinks to the value of the entertainment you're receiving--it's just a matter of perspective. ) My recommendation is to drink top-shelf liquor and premium sodas in order to maximize the entertainment value you're receiving. A Heineken can cost $4 a bottle in a nice restaurant. Drink two Heinekens an hour, and you've just lowered what it costs you to play each hour from $75 to $68.
