- Have fun.
- Don't believe common slot myths
- Manage your bankroll. Understand how much you want to play, how many sessions you want to play, and do some simple division.
- Don't play with money you can't afford to lose.
- Always bet all lines with the max bet. If you can't afford to do that, then play at a lower denomination slot machine.
- Be sure you're a member of the slots club and that you're tracking your play--you want to get all the comps you've got coming to you.
- Progressives don't pay out as often as regular slots, but you've got the jackpot to look forward to if you hit it.
- Higher denomination machines have higher payback percentages. So play the highest denomination machine you can without putting undue stress on your bankroll.
- Consider video poker.
I recommend checking out Slot Tips for additional info about slot machines and playing the slots. Another good site for slots players is Slots King.
