Staying Power

I call it staying power, you need enough money to last out the machine. Simply put, stay away from penny and nickel machines.
To win anything big you have to play above a dollar. Go to the dollar machines, but you need at least 400 dollars to start. Pick a three-coin slot, if you can't play three at least play two bucks. I found the best is a triple diamond machine, start with a hundred dollar bill and dont worry about it - you came to gamble. The worst thing is you could lose the money; keep that attitude.
Begin by playing two dollars a spin, if you lose two to three spins in a row, go for three bucks or max. You should hit something in the next two to three spins. Dont spend the whole hundred on that machine. If you go down to 40 bucks take that money out and try somewhere else. Always play the lose-three-in-a-row method then bet max. After you hit a good one quit that machine.
These days, going to a casino with 100 or 200 bucks the big win wont happen. Sometimes you lose 100 to 200 bucks before you hit, you need money to play these days. The casinos love those people who come to play those penny machines to get into those nonsence bonuses that cost you $1 to play and you win $10 back after you've lost a bundle,its a slow death. Try the dollars but bring enough money to play.
Years ago people would gamble with 100 dollars it would last all night long. Not these days, the average person makes a little more than that amount a day. Lastly you can try to watch someone lose a good share on a machine than jump on it and try $50 in it, odds are you will hit. It works for me all the time. Good Luck!
