Hey Drpsyce..
The best advice I can give you is to first try to find loose machine in the areas I always list like by the snack bar, cashiers booth, or free standing carosels. Dont just pick a machine at random. Stay away from machines by the tables, and by the buffet lines.
Then, learn a little about he machine before you play. Read the payout screen so you understand a little about the lines if it is a video machine. (The o'le three line slot machines are still best odds. ) I always play about 10-15 spins and see how it is paying. If after those spins your percentage of payout is less than 80% the machine is in a take cycle and it is time to move on. When you find a machine in a Pay cycle, settle in and then is when luck comes into play as well. That random number generator is always in control. Don't stay at a losing machine. Slots also become more profitable if when you win you " HIT AND RUN." I know you play like this too. Get a decent profit, pocket your original bankroll, plus a profit, and play the rest if so desired. Slots are purely luck, but there are things we can do to increase our chances of winning. I have managed to do very well doing just the few things I have mentioned. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!! May the random number generator
