Slot Machine Strategy?

[kawetsriyanto]

It is a luck based game just like dice. There is no strategy.

I agree with you. Because it is a luck-based game, there is no way to find out a certain strategy to win. His friend may be lucky to use that strategy at that moment, but cannot be applied at another time, moreover for an online slot. Slot Machine isn't created to play with a certain strategy, all players only need to rely on their luck here. 

The only good strategy is to limit the use of money and come back the next day with different expectations.

It is not a strategy to win but a strategy to limit the chance of big losses.
Limiting funds doesn't increase the chance to win. It is only a preventive way to not overplaying.

The best approach is get comfortable and familar with the dynamics of a game on a lower betting amount before moving up to bet seriously.   Not everyone has the patience to do this but I'd suggest its worth it if you are going to be playing for any amount of time, I think people rush a little too much.   

I don't know for sure about slots or dice, but with a roulette it was shown that better to go all-in just with one bet rather than betting with a small amount of money. Because in honest roulette you will lose anyway, but with small amounts it can take like few thousands years in some cases. So if you've came for money, it's better to test your luck with one bet and go home

^ Definitely right that is not a strategy, probably there is no strategy but I have a tactic on how to have profit, just keep bet folded the amount on your previous bet, and when you win at least once then quit. I think that is a martingale strategy right?
But it ends up depending on your luck, if your luck was not there, just leave and never gamble because this is not mean to you and you should find another game that is suitable for your skills.

Lol, i can't agree with that. His strategy is really good way to go with all of this.

Let me quote myself:

Man, i will tell you for honest: After i have finished Harvard course about probability i can tell to you that there is no any "strategy" for dice or slots. Even term "strategy" doesn't have any sense towards this games.

It's pure luck-based games and you have only one strategy: Is to count EV (expected value) so you will now win your or loose on a long run.

Martingale is the worst way to play slots/dice i think. This will work only if you have endless recourses and eternity to play (work on a very very long runs)

[chaser15]

Does waiting to get on a machine that gets heavily played a legit strategy?  Does it make more sense to play different types of machines or play one machines for a long period of time? Etc etc..

Gamblers are played for a long-time because their bankroll can afford it. It does not because they are purely lucky on that slots. Maybe mid-game, they are winning but since they are expecting again another win, they stick on that casino game hoping for another win.

Unfortunately, whether online or physical, there's no strategy to win. Just hope that luck will come to us during our gambling time and try forcing us to quit to bag some profits. There are other days to try out again our luck.

If you have a good bankroll and you are willing to lose it everything then better if you are going to go for a max bet so that you have a good chance to win big as well. At least that's what I do before and that's what I see on those high rollers before in a traditional base casinos. "Bet big to win big" kinda attitude, it's a huge risk on your part but that's how you enjoy and play the game. 

[famososMuertos]

Ever since I ever went to a casino, it always caught my attention to see the chairs tilted to the machine and guarded by someone or the coins on top of the chair, also someone surely told you that the machine is occupied.

Then someone also told me that there were "camels", do not ask me why they said that, but they are the people who analyze the hours that someone spends playing on a machine and they are waiting for these people to finally leave the slot machines for them to start playing, the same strategy as the previous one but they let the other people spend their money before they start spinning for hours.

I don't know if that can be called a strategy but it exists.

[timerland]

One of my best friends and I would travel to the local casino some years back from time to time.  Wasn't a very fun casino but it was about as good as we could get for those times as gambling was very restricted back then.  He was a big fan of playing slots and always seemed to have some sort of strategy.  He would look for players who were sitting at a machine for a long period of time and then play them.  There were a couple other things he did that he called "strategy" but I can't remember what they were.

My question for you guys, is there any strategy you know of for slot machines ? I think this more so applies to in person casinos but maybe online as well.

Perhaps there would be some strategies specific to individual games for the bonus features?

But other than that, I don't think that there is much you can do to determine the outcome.

At the end of the day you are just going to press a button to bet regardless. But if you do get into a bonus where you have to proactively make choices, there may be a possibility that you are able to maximise your chances (e.g. an inbuilt game of blackjack as a bonus feature, you might want to play basic strategy).

There's really no perfect skill to win on a slot machine. Only if you can afford to bet thousands of dollars you may increase your odds of winning some money, and that's not a guarantee. Its really about the luck of the draw. Best way to win money is be at the right time and at the right place, and run away with your winning, and don’t stay in casinos more than an hour, win or lose.

It's like beating the algorithm programmed on that slot machine. It seems effective but it needs patience. Luck still plays a role but these gamblers waiting for the right time might be thinking of another way to increase the chance of their winnings. I remember reading an article related to that under a so-called Strategy 101.

I also believe there's a catch to it but only applies to physical machines. There's no way it can be applied to online slots.

I think in physical casinos, we can observe a certain machine even it was coded. There are cases I believe in the past where others know some advantages that can be applied in a certain machine.

I don't know if that kind of setup is still present in some casinos but it's no secret there really is. Unlike in online casinos that no way we can make a way to win in the long run against the house. To increase winning chances if possible at these online casinos, try to play lower house edges or the highest RTP available.

In physical slot machine maybe there is but in online slot casino, I don't know if there is because it based on RGN which is generated from the computer.
Sometimes gamblers do this when they are in physical casino, they observe first what common combination will be possible the result and then they bet it because they know that it will repeat the result.

But in online slot machine casino, I don't know because they had run algorithm that based on a code that will generate per betting.
Strategy will not be applied on such online casino because the slot games was based on luck not more on technical thing that can you calculate the possible result.

Not really, the slot machines are programed to have a certain payout rate which is less than your buyin. So the longer you play the more likely are you to reach the expected values. The more player and slot games the closer it will get to the averages. Which doesn't mean that we can end up lucky and make a decent profit.
Looking for machines that are played heavily is a good idea as long as nobody won in a while. The more players on one slot machine increase the chances that the jackpot is cleared out. Observing the floor and keeping an eye on which machine is being played frequently and didn't win for a while, is a good strategy. But we still need go be lucky to actually win.

[Reid]

That seated slot machine should have not dealt with a jackpot for a long time before you take the spot. Then, there is the waiting time on how long the person will play there. It's a difficult strategy but could be worth it with patience.

Back then, there were cheating tools that was used with slots and just a week ago I saw one in social media about the story of that man. I forgot his name but it was a documentary of how he created the tools and he even bought a machine just to tinker it and find out how he can create the equipment. Investment.
As for strategy, I only have the superstitious idea to be bad luck at one position so I switch to another machine.

Lol, i can't agree with that. His strategy is really good way to go with all of this.

Martingale is a strategy to not lose money, or to break even, not to win. And it's not even for slots, it's just a general strategy really. By the end of the day, Martingale's strategy pretty much relies on luck, so is it still a strategy really? That's like saying relying on luck is a strategy in of itself, and is pretty much just hiding the fact that you're going YOLO on the game (which you are, by the way, just that the rate is different for each player/session).

Let me quote myself:

Man, i will tell you for honest: After i have finished Harvard course about probability i can tell to you that there is no any "strategy" for dice or slots. Even term "strategy" doesn't have any sense towards this games.

Pretty much sums up what you'd expect from Martingale and luck based games in general.

There's nothing more to it than luck. I mean even if you have a lot of patience waiting for the right time to win in, your luck would be the one who will be the key to win that jackpot. Maybe it would just a coincidence if you win the jackpot in just 1 roll in the slot machine that has been played too long for a certain day. Since slot machine game won't take much of your time, meaning you'll also lose a lot of money in no time.

But if we win the jackpot in just 1 roll, that means we will be rich from that machine without using any strategy but we have luck in that game. But I think that will not happen many times because the casino will know whether that player cheats or just because of his luck winning that. If you use a strategy, that will require patients to try one by one to find the right strategy and sometimes, that will spend so much money before we can get the right one.

Well, maybe if we are “lucky” enough to find the “right” strategy then maybe we can make winning a regular thing in playing slot machine. But, I beg to differ with that, my friend, because it is still based upon one’s luck. Slot machines are luck based games, and will stay so to be just as that. Otherwise, it will be proven that some sort of strategy really works, especially during this modern era and with the existence of online slot games.

Strategies couldn't help with the slot machines. Everything is upon the luck, the machine itself operates on random choice selection. If you are able to manipulate the machine then it is possible to use some strategies. Things are highly advanced. Earlier I read in an article where a person used to win regularly. Finally it was found he used some tricks with the powerful magnet. Now those weren't possible as technology has kept everything in a well advanced way. So it is all about luck and not about strategy.

Luck influence the most, but strategy also plays its own role.

Emotion and bankroll management, there's no certainty if we are talking about the slot, no one is capable to detect
what result will be there after you trigger the button.

You'll gonna wait if the outcome favor you or you need to move forward or if it's time to call for the day.
