Strategy for slots

Strategy for slots involves money management because of the importance of staying alive long enough to maybe get lucky. Unlike blackjack, roulette or craps, all of which either let the player win many more wagers than slots, or else they have a bet option which allows the player to see many more wins than slots. A good example of that would be the red or black bet for roulette. Its slightly less than a 50% chance you'll win your bet but that's an incredibly higher percentage than anyone gets on one spin of a slot game.

Since it  is unlikely that you will hit a big win on your first spin(s) then our strategy for slots must include allowing for what might be an extended run of non-wins and thus we need to make sure we're playing a game which our bankroll will allow us to play for a while even if we encounter the worst case scenario.

These are personal observations which I offer only for consideration. Do not go out and bet the farm based on this information. It simply is what seems to work best for me. You should never go risk your money on any system or approach for gambling that you have not seen proven to yourself, for yourself. This is best accomplished by playing for free at one of the online casinos I list. (see right column).

So if you have $50, don't go play a slot game with a $5 max bet.  You just wouldn't be giving yourself any kind of a legitimate chance at ever catching that next win to keep you going. Instead it is much wiser to find a game which has a much lower max bet or credit value. At $5 a max bet we'd roll through our fifty bucks in just ten quick taps on the spin button. Personally I'd like to get at least 30 spins and preferably twice that many, which makes the quarter slots look like a good place to start since that would give me on a three coin max bet over 50 spins to catch a winning wave and I can of course always increase my wager at any time and never leave the machine I am playing so even if I prefer

So our strategy for slots includes not only recognizing the importance of money management but also in finding a slots game that can accommodate our needs necessary to have good money management. In other words, a game we can afford.
