Don't know how many of you play the slot machines--or what your impression is of them. I'm sure I won't change anyone's mind--but if you would like some tips--I actually usually win, believe it or not.

Anything you win over $1200--the casino gives you a W2G signer.

Here are some pointers on how I win:

DON'T play at Indian Casinos

Don't play any slots other than $1.00--

ALWAYS play the maximum coins (I know--they don't use actual coins anymore--but on every machine there is a button that says "Play Maximum" Makes it easy...

Do Not Ever play the penny slots.

Now...In Silver Legacy and El Dorado in Reno...they both have "High Limit" areas. They all have $1 slots up to $100 slots.

You have to have some big money--at least $1,000 in cash. If all you have is $100 or so...go play blackjack or something.

The machines in the high-Limit rooms --max coins (or tickets-nowdays) is $27.00. Not all of them, but the ones I play are
3 reels x 9 ways = $27.00.

You'll win a lot of smaller prizes ($75-$100-$150, etc) then suddenly hit one of the jackpots. These are the signers I got from my last two visits--and I can't even find another from Silver Legacy that hit for another $5,000+.

Thursday night about 2:am I quit and went up to my room--since they always payoff with $100 bills--I counted mine and had exactly 100 - hundred dollar bills...



good luck
