Slot Machine Games

April 23, 2008

Slot Machines are very popular form of entertainment nowadays. The game becomes appreciated more and more and there exist some tendencies indicating that one day it’ll be slot machine games that will replace bingo social role with meeting such requirements as donations for education, etc.

It’s interesting to find out a payout level of a certain machine, and to get to know schedules concerning an appropriate percentage. It’s definitely better to pick up a slot machine with the higher payout level and the lower amount of symbol matching. In fact it’s possible to have a game at a machine with high slot machine payout percentage, notwithstanding the fact that some states offer relatively low payouts. To find the right one you have to visit specialized forums where dedicated players share their information and present many interesting pieces of advice, or to compare payout level of several different casinos. What is more, you should bear in mind that the higher minimum bet of slot machines games, the higher payouts you will be able to get. As far as taxes are concerned, it is more reasonable to play at a machine with three or four reels than with more ones.

You probably came across a lot of myths about slot machine games. There are some superstitious players who put only hot coins into a slot, in order to heat the inside of a machine up and to get a winning combination. There are rumors going around claiming that there is a more gainful principle of pulling a lever than pushing a button. That is why certain players do their best while pulling the arm with all the strength they have. To put it simply, everyone finds his or her own method of making the game full of fun.

The Natural Tendency Paradox

April 02, 2008

Some time age I had a conversation with a friend of mine who claims there’s no way will one be a winner in the long run and how his computer simulation model has proven it. Many people know the Law of Large numbers, Random Walk, etc., and how the vig ties into that. However, based on observations, I don’t believe laws of Large numbers are something that can be evaluated during a few visits or over a 1-2 hours of play. You must be aware that you’ll hit lucky streaks, unlucky streaks and choppiness over probably as little as just one hour of play. You must be prepared to face such events.
After familiarizing with a few books, taking notes to my own mistakes, I created some rules that I had to follow if I wanted to have any chance of taking home (small) profits in roulette. And it was not until I began following these rules that my game truly improved. Here is what I came up with. I grouped them together and dubbed it “THE NATURAL TENDENCY PARADOX:”

  •    Play even money and/or 1:2 bets on a Single Zero wheel if possible
  •    Never increase the stakes if you lose.
  •    Don’t panic when you are losing. This is a cause compulsive betting. Try to be patient. Because of natural laws, one or  two trends will begin to take shape shortly - No pressing until it does. (Rule number 5 will protect you if it doesn’t.)
  •    You must press when you win! This is your only chance! Sadly, it’s probably the hardest rule to follow.
  •    Don’t get caught into continuum. Take several 10-15 minute breaks but never break when you’re winning. Decide on loss limits and win limits. Leave the game when its time.
