Do you look for the slot machine that someone else was playing and did not win on?

Historically did you only play machines that paid out coins that were not warm?

Do you pull the arm of the slot machine to get the reels spinning or do you press the spin reel button? What works for you

All of the items above most likely just mean you are superstitious or believe in good fortune. Heck when playing the slots this is most probably an important element. Do you always play the same machine that gave you the last big win, do you prefer to play three coins or one – what works.

Do you ever play the big machine at the front entrance to the casinos with the six foot arm and two foot symbols. What is the key element to make these machines win. Do you bring your lucky symbols with you when you go to the casino. Rabbits Foot, Shamrock, ‘squeeze toy’ are they are keys to having your next big win.

When you boil it down the one element that is constant in playing the slots is something called a Random Number Generator (RNG) that all the machines are based on. You are most likely asking no this can not be the arm on the slot machine when I pull it I win and win I press the spin reel button I lose. Well sorry it all boils down to the RNG. Each game is designed on a set of probabilities and yes different slots win at different rates and each slot game may have a different margin.

But heck lets not ruin the dream. I myself play the way that makes me feel good. This is called hope and entertainment and after all that is what playing slots is all about.
