When using this strategy there are certain rules that you need to follow in order to be successful:
Look for single pay line, two-coin machines with a modest jackpot and a pay table that has a good range of medium-sized amounts. (ex. 800-80-60-40-30-20-10-5-2, from largest to smallest) Machines with this type of pay table will have small to medium jackpots hit more frequent because most of the money does not have to go to funding a huge jackpot.
Remember – Larger jackpots mean fewer smaller payouts.
Try playing a two-coin quarter machine with a single pay line and a jackpot of 800 coins for one-coin play and a 1600 coin jackpot for two-coin play (ex. Double Diamond quarter machine or Wild Cherry quarter machine) You still have the chance to win a nice jackpot of 800 coins even if you play only one coin and you will also make your money go further.
Gambling Facts
Someone hits a large jackpot on the machine you just left. Would you have hit the jackpot if you had stayed on it? No-The Random number Generator determines the winning combination at that exact millisecond. It is highly unlikely that you would have stopped the RNG at the exact microsecond as the person who played the machine after you.
A slot machine has not been paying for a long time. Is it due to hit? No- Each spin is a random occurrence and is not affected by what has taken place before that spin.
Once a machine pays out a large jackpot, should you quit playing because it will not hit again for a long time? No- Slot machines have no memory and they do not keep track of what has happened before. The results are totally random.
If you play maximum coins you will produce more winning combinations? No-The number of coins you play has no bearing on the frequency of payoffs but if you do hit a jackpot it will be considerably less if you did not play maximum coins.
A machine will pay more if the player plays from the credit meter instead of inserting coins by hand? No- the Random Number Generator does not discern between a coin drop or a credit played. This has no bearing on where the reels stop.
