How to win in Vegas
Posted at: 05/30/2011 8:17 AM

Who doesn't want to hit the jackpot?

People come to the bright lights of Las Vegas with big dreams, but is there a secret for success when it comes to slots?

According to gambling expert Anthony Curtis, the Palms Casino has the loosest slots in town.

"They literally showed me their books, and gaming control confirmed that the numbers were the numbers," said Curtis.

At the brand new Slot Emporium at Palms a player can win both cash and prizes.

The first and, apparently, only decision needed is how much to spend on each spin?

"That's the big tradeoff. How long do you play, versus how much can you win if you get lucky?" said Curtis. "The strategy is to play as slowly as you can. Whenever I have friends or relatives who want to play slots, I usually direct them more to the old-time machines where you play two or three coins, instead of 300 coins."

Curtis points out that you are better off with live games then you are with machines, but if you do play with a machine remember, it's just a computer inside there.

It doesn't run hot or cold.

"That's just a big myth when it comes to slots and video poker, that a machine can become "due," said Curtis."It just doesn't happen that way."

So maybe you don't need strategy or luck. Maybe all you need is a nickel.

I know there are strategies for playing video poker although i have never studied them. Slots however, having not looked into it either, i would be hard pressed to believe there is anything more than "theories" on how to get an advantage....i believe that they may decrease your odds but i dont see how you could ever get an "advantage" over a slot. Certainly interested in being proven wrong though....

Slots are obviously a losing proposition.

However I will usually play $20 or $30 in the Mega Millions machines... this jackpot is a life-changing amount of money. Worth the risk IMO.

Respectively stating, no they are not.

I also play the Mega-Millions for the hell of it. But you have to go into with the attitude of "I'm going to spend $50 to try and win the Nevada lottery." You don't ever play these machines for other profits since their non-jackpot payoffs are lousy.

That's exactly what I mean. It's takin' a shot at the big time - like the lottery.
