How to Pick a Slot Machine in Las Vegas Casinos
- 1). Choose a bank of slot machines that fits your gambling bankroll (the amount of money you have set aside for gambling). Most casinos have machines that allow you to bet a penny, a nickel, a dime or a quarter at a time. They also typically have slots where you can bet from $1 to $1,000. If you have a bankroll of $50, for example, focus on the penny and nickel machines--choose a $1 slot, and your bankroll could be gone in a matter of minutes.
- 2). Look for a slot machine in a conspicuous area. According to WhichSlots.com, casinos want people to witness big wins so they will feel compelled to try their luck as well. Determine the high traffic areas of the casino and choose a slot machine that is visible from one of those areas.
- 3). Choose a slot machine within the high-traffic area in a place where players only stay for a short period of time. These slots are usually located near casino restaurants or within one row of popular aisles in the casino. These slots tend to build up larger jackpots, according to WhichSlots.com.
