Play the maximum number of coins. Many machines require that a player gamble with the maximum number of coins to have a chance at winning the jackpot. Check the machine’s payout table to find out what the odds are for each payoff combination.

Research the slot’s Return to Player percentage (RTP). This is an average calculated over a long period of time, and it gives players a good idea of how likely it is that the machine will pay out. Look for slots with a high RTP, around 96% or higher.

Avoid branded slot games. These machines often have themes tied to popular culture, like films or TELEVISION shows, and they tend to have a lower RTP than non-branded machines.

Watch other players’ behavior. If you see other players cash in their chips and leave the machine it’s probably hot. However, it’s important to keep in mind that some machines do go cold after a big winner leaves, so don’t jump on the bandwagon too quickly.

Ask a casino employee where the loose machines are. They see thousands of people gambling each week and may be able to point you in the direction of a machine that’s paying out big. Be sure to tip them generously if they help you.
