How to pick a Slot Machine 🎰 Tips from a tech! 🤠 

Listened to this on my way to the casino for the first time tonight. I took $320. I am leaving with $904. I HAD A BLAST! Thanks for the advice!

I want to personally thank you!!! I look at slots totally different after watching two of your videos and I got my first hand pay last night on a $5 double diamond. I have had two trips with very positive results. Thank you for the videos and sharing the knowledge and tips.

Watched this and went to the High Limit lounge at my local casino. Never been high limit before. Followed the knowledge and in one hour I walked away with $11k

I watched this video this morning. Just got back from the casino, took $100. Walked out with $720!!!

I would say the number one "Rule of thumb" when playing slots is your initial Bankroll. The larger your bankroll the higher your bet. If you are a casual slot player with a small bankroll you tend to gravitate to the machines that have lower payouts but pay out more often. I am one of these people and I find that playing this way I can last 2 - 3 hours on $100.00 and still have lots of fun. The key is to go to have some fun and entertainment. If you go thinking you will get rich you will be sorely disappointed.

So I just wanted to give you a huge thank you for your time making these videos. Today 5/19/22 I hit my very first hand pay using your techniques. Played in my budget but on higher denomination this trip.

@Cowboyslots I just followed your advice and it works, I went to the MGM Northfield, only played the cabinet machines mainly double diamonds and triple double diamonds and walked out with over $1,280 on $200 thank you so very much!!!!!

So great. I love these tips. I consider myself lucky now that I played a dollar machine $2 max, on a 12x machine. Second spin I hit 12 x 12x blue 7. I won $14,400. The jackets came out in seconds. It was a newer machine in this casino, and I was in shock. Very lucky, and I haven’t hit anything like that since. Right time, right place. The casino isn’t even there anymore. But it was a Fitzgerald’s and was a favorite place. They moved out and replaced it with a Saratoga casino. I don’t know if they’re related but I never won anything there anymore. Good luck everyone! Take what you can afford to lose, and have fun!

This video is very helpful for people like me who really haven't understood the full picture of everything from how to pick a machine to how to play. You bring it all together and in a very understandable way. Your channel stands out from others in that you truly put out information in an organized manner.

27 years (1995) ago I knew a couple in their late 50s - he was an electrical contractor and she an assistant bank manager. They lived very frugal lives: they didn't go to the movies, or dinner, or collect stupid crap; their home was paid off and their kids were grown. Instead, they squirreled away $10K every 4 mos and took a one week fully comped vacation to Reno. He'd hit the Blackjack tables with his $5K and she the slots with hers. Over the three years I knew them, she won a $50K, $20K, and new car. Not bad for gambling $15K a year, or $45K. She had many times where she left on the plus side. She told me a couple rules. 1) if a machine takes 1/2 the money you put in it, cash out and find another machine 2) if you double your money cash out (which is bad advice in your opinion) and 3) play within your budget.

1/12/2023: Yesterday I watched this video. I was pleased to see that I already, instinctively I guess, used some of your recommendations on picking a slot. But it was your explanation of the odds, watching for patterns, and your system of gradually going to higher cost machines that helped me the most. So a few hours later, I went to the casino with $100. My favorite slots are double and/or triple diamonds. Unfortunately, most of these machines are now starting out as $1.00 machines. But I found one for .25 and began to play. 25 minutes later I had won over $100 and moved up to a $1.00 machine. Playing $3 a spin made me gulp but I quickly (first spin!) got a $125 payout. I continued and was hitting $60 and $90 payouts, and I could clearly see the patterns. On about the 75th spin, I hit for $812.00! What a blessing! You see, the week before my car died and it needed a new fuel pump that cost $900. That was a big hit for me as I live on Social Security alone. So there I was, staring at the almost entire cost of my repair. I cashed out and this next month isn't going to be as financially difficult as I had expected. Thanks for the tips and better understanding of the odds and how they work.

We took your advice when we went to our favorite AZ Indian casino and initially only played the $5 machines. We took our usual $500 bankroll each and tried to stay on the triple stars machines. It was hard to put that much money into a machine at a time, but it really paid off. Hubby won a $1200 hand pay and we both kept winning smaller amounts. After we had our initial bankroll in our pockets, we played the penny slots for fun. And then I won a $629 hand pay! We ended up going home with $1500 after 6 hours at the casino. We usually consider it a good night if we only lose half our bankroll, lol. Thank you so much for your videos because I’ve learned a lot of things I didn’t know about casinos!

Thank you cowboy for your tips! I’m not much of a gambler, but after watching your video, thought I would put your tips to the test. I’m definitely the one that likes the “fancy” machines with all the stuff going on, but played a boring one and won $1000! Will be using your tips again next time I visit a casino.

You, dear cowboy, are an INCREDIBLE TEACHER! I LOVED EVERY WISE AND CLEAR WORD YOU SAID, AND LEARNED SO VERY MUCH!!!😘, from CT.

I have implemented a lot of your tips on my casino adventures. All I can say is they have definitely helped me out long term. I’ve had the mindset for years if I can’t afford to play high limit I don’t go.

We are in Vegas now and thanks to your tips, strategies and knowledge my wife and I have returned to our hotel every day with more money than we left with. Still working on getting a handpay using your strategy, I just haven't had the time to go thru all 4 steps yet but steps 1- 3 have paid off. Thank you!

The RU-vid algorithms brought me to your channel and I just want to say Thank you brother, your videos are fantastic, easy to understand and just feel (real) truthful. God bless from 🇨🇦

I have been watching slot channels players and I must say this is the most informative information I have gotten so far thank you for sharing; I will definitely be applying your techniques on my next Casino trip.

Thank you for tip 10 your voice sounded like you cared like you been there before! I appreciate it so much. I kept feeding the machine 2 weeks ago feed it over $1000 thinking it should pay and it didn’t! I was even giving my son money and he lost on his machine so I took a big hit. Thanks for theses tips very helpful. ♥️

Hey man I did the best I could with this information and played the quarter machine at Yamava Casino. I played a hundred and lost following your suggestions and it just wasn't my day , however I went back after a week, and played $100. I saw where some people were sitting next to some low volatile machines on my first trip, and played there,I payed attention to the patterns which I still don't know what to look for however it was keeping me in the game, not just little wins but bigger ones for a quarter machine,which let me know this machine might be out of balance, and wouldn't you know it I hit!!! $927 jackpot and then a $97 jackpot, back to backs are real 🤯 and never play just went off what you said and did the best to apply. I think the machine I played was a progressive since the jackpot changed after I hit and it was written in digital. You have turned a believer out of this beginner Wow!!

Thank you so much brother. I've learned so much from your videos as well as Jackpot judo. I just started gambling about 2 months ago and didn't know the first thing abouts slots. Today I hit my very first handpay jackpot ($1600). Now I'm inlove with "Top Dollars" just like most of the professionals..😂. I've also learned the laws and regulations governing the casino. Thanks you again. Stay humble and stay blessed

I have been doing this for years and I agree. Also noticed end machines and ones by the bathroom also hit a lot too. My must play machines are 2 coin Blazzin 7s. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing

Your tip on patterns is so true. I was playing a machine that paid me $500 in two bonus sessions in under 10 minutes, and was happy with it, and walked away. There was this guy watching me and others play that bank of machines. Minutes later on the machine I was on, 2 majors dropped at the same time I his bonus session for a total of $10k.

This is the absolute best slots strategy video I have ever seen. Your content is beyond amazing and very intelligent. Very much appreciated. New subscriber!

Love tip #10. We budget. Knowing the casino is most likely getting it. Entertainment with a chance to win. Now with these tips we’ll have a better chance. Great channel

Using your tips . Within 5 minutes I hit a 10 grand jackpot on Tarzan . After a break to stop shaking , up tried a game called lightning link . I bet 5 dollars and won 3 2200jackpots in a row same machine. Thank you Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Off to deposit my winning s at the bank. 🍀🍀🙏

Thank you so much for the shout out! Really appreciate it & so happy for the success of your channel!!!

I have hit back to back jackpots twice! And I've seen it happen more than once in the high limit area where I like to play. Someday I will hit my third. Solid tips Cowboy.

Thank you for caring enough to explain things in a clear and precise manner now I care enough to become a member so that your channel stays up you support us we support you it's a win-win thanks again

Omgggg I was watching your videos before going to Winstar casino in OK. Holyyy guacamoleee I just won two mini jackpots on two separate machines! $1700 and $1500! Never everrr ever have I actually made good money playing slots! But this time I knew what to look for! Thank you for the info! Playing is more fun when you know the rules of the game ;)

Thanks for your tips. I got my first jackpot a couple days ago and I appreciate your advice. I don't expect it to always be that way, but you certainly gave me an edge

Thanks !! ALL of your 10 tips are well thought out and learned honestly in the trenches.

I learned more in 35 minutes than I've learned in the last year excellent presentation

Just discovered your channel a few months ago, but your advise is invaluable. The biggest one is the penny slots are eye candy with crappy payout potential. Outstanding content. I can't wait to put it to use on our next trip to the casino.

Absolutely, as an ex supervisor of slots, they are random, and most what a casino uses is mind control in a manner of speaking, penny machines sound cheaper but actually they are far from it. The minute one walks through the door their mind is manipulated. Any ever ask why the most colorful carpets and shiny glass above, because subconsciously your eyes bother you when seeing such carpets so one is apt to look up, then if you look to far up that shiny glass gets to the eyes so you look down, a manipulation to keep one's eyes even with the slots. Baccarat use to be the only game that was 50/50 until that was changed, leaving it now at 51/49 for the house. Slots aren't like the old ones that actually did spin, they are computerized, perception they are spinning, it's a computwr and they are most definitely random, set in phases. This man definitely knows what he's talking about, slots are always high risk, no matter which game you choose, be it slots, card games, roulette they are all set for the house to have the advantage, basically they have to or the casino would go broke. One thing that has nothing to do with gaming but important is if one is coming to Vegas from somewhere else please take numerous breaks from playing, the air is thin and staring at slots for hours with no breaks or sleep one is a high risk of passing out, we got that all the time, so remember that. Great video

I been looking for tips like this for 10 years now, thank you for the great video!

You are so right when it comes to always playing the max. I had to learn the hard way and I haven't looked at those machines the same. When I finally made 21, my parents took me to one of the casinos back home in Baton Rouge, LA. I sat down at one of the progressive machines and just started playing. Didn't read or nothing, lol. It hit all the blazing 7's and according to the payout, I should have walked away with about $1.3 million...BUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, I only played one credit. All the people walking by were screaming O-M-G baby you hit!!! LOL, when they noticed the machine wasn't going haywire, they was like, dang, you only played one credit huh, lol. HARD LESSON LEARNED!

So one thing I don’t often see mentioned. Patterns can be useful in determining the hit probability. But, how do patterns relate to determining when a machine is simply NOT near a winning pattern. As an example, I normally play 5-10 spins to determine if a pattern is appearing. What is your take on how long you should play before determining either a winning or loosing pattern?

Thank you so much for explaining. I was so confused in what to play & how it works bets & line Thank you again

I appreciate all your advice! I applied your techniques just to start off as a beginner at a local game room. Started with 20 left with 50! 😆 Keep up the great work! Look forward to many more!

I love to gamble my favorite slots are the "Triple Stars." If you have time, I would appreciate you posting a list of the best casino's to go to and their locations. I'm from NYC and looking for a great Casino getaway for my big 60th Birthday in March 2023! Thank you and have a blessed year! LETS GO GET UM! CHA,CHING!

Higher denomination, the bigger the payout is absolutely true!!! I've noticed that by watching other players! Great tip!! 👍 I liked the pattern thing, watching for patterns, very good tip also 😎👍 I enjoyed your video, I learned something new today!!

I have watched your videos and will start with the.25 machine for a total of .50 per spin on a low volatility machine to build my cash before moving to the $1.00 machine. My budget is to start with $100 and hopefully increase to $150-200.

Thank you! I think by far your advice and tips are the best! The most simplified and straightforward.

The wealth of knowledge in this video. Wow. I've been doing the exact opposite of what you said for years. I'm going to put these tips to the test when I go to AC and Vegas in a few weeks. Playing smart is the key. 👍

Thank you so much for the tips!! You educated me on so much and showed me my mistakes

"Higher the denomination, the better the odds. Higher paytable, the lower the odds. Higher multipliers, the lower the odds." This is the first time I've heard any of this. I'm excited to put these into play on my next visit. Thank you so much!

I won back-to-back-to-back jackpots on a $1.10 bet in San Diego. Three straight $5,000+ payouts. Made over $17K off a $40 bankroll in one night in total. "Riches Drop Plop Plop Peach" was the game. Triggered the bonus coin game on three consecutive spins. $5,200+ then $5,000, then $5,000. Hit two more handpays in High Limit that night, one for $1,200, and another for $3K. Best part for me was tipping out over $4K to the staff. We were going nuts. It was seriously like a movie. Every game I played that night paid me money. Blackjack, Pai Gow, Three-hand Poker, etc. I will never have a night like that again, but I sure as shit hope I do.

Question, does it help your channel to let the commercials run? Or can we skip with out affecting your channel?

A tip from waaayyy back in the day was, look for a 3 wheel slot machine with the "cherries" sitting on the centerline of the middle wheel. That was supposed to signal the machine was about to hit a jackpot. It always worked for me. Might be hard to find one of those machines these days.

Your tip on pattens is valid. I have been aware of patterns for the last year and it has made a difference. Visually this can be fun and puts a twist on your activity. This is the first year of having a higher win than loss. However, in the end, it never makes up for what you put into the machine. Be sensible and responsible and work with your budget.

Great tips. I learned the payouts, wins after wins, the higher the bet the better the odds. Thanks so much.

As a newer slot player I love all the tips and positive energy you exude, just love you Cowboy Slots ❤

I used your tips looking for a 3 reel $5 single line slot that had a lower jackpot and that wasn't a progressive. I played maybe 6 spins and hit for just over a $1,000. Thanks for the tip on how to read pay tables and why a lower jackpot is a good thing.

I always wanted to know how to help guide my friends who gamble in the correct direction to better their odds of winning. Now I can confidently say I’ll be a better wingman. I’m a huge fan of your techniques and love the fact you don’t endorse anything!!! Huge Thank You and I hope I run into you when I visit Vegas one day! Your awesome!

Great tips. I 've been following Stacy's High Limit Slots for a long time.She plays the type of machines that I do and wins frequently.

Checked out your channel after seeing a comment from someone on Major Chasers. Sure glad I did! Really enjoy watching your channel!

I have walked in to a casino in Vegas and windstar in Oklahoma which is the biggest in the world and asked for the slot manager. They had no problem pointing me to the machines with highest payouts and I took over $1,800 3 nights in a row. So they will tell you if you are friendly with them

Your tips are amazing! Tried them at an Indian casino! Hit a lot of high payouts playing max bet.

Thank you. You communicate so well. I need to save this video...and listen again and again...so I don't play foolishly when I am cruising.

This is the Best video out of all of them. These tips are great! Thank you so much for all the free advice and for all the time you put into this! It’s appreciated! I ❤️ Cowboy Slots.

I’m playing my first trip to Vegas and this is so helpful!!!!! I’ve played slot machines once before and left after I made .25 cents 😂

I’m not a casino kinda person. I’m not a fan of gambling but I have been dragged to them enough over the years to have played slots a bit. Half of these tips I did figure out on my own. I’m drawn to those older machines, I avoid the cartoony penny slots. Always reminded me of chickens in a cage, pecking at buttons until the machine gives a reward. But I def gathered some new ones (always bet max) that i’ll be trying out next week. Thanks for the tip!

Great video! One thing I don’t understand is how you said if you’re playing a $25 machine and playing 2 credits a spin ($50) then move to a $50 machine so your odds will be better. But then later you said always bet the max. Those 2 rules seem to contradict each other because if you’re playing max then you should always move to a higher denominator machine right?

You are leggit, dude-- there is legitimacy in ur dialogue. You got a good heart, we don't get this knowledge in school. Thanx for giving in depth tour to the world of unknown.

Thanks for your tips. Generally I play the max bet depending upon some factors. In November we were at a tribal casino and I had already lost about $600 that trip. On Saturday night I sat down at a Quick Hit slot with a tropical theme. I pulled a $100 bill out of my wallet and fed it to the slot. Looked in my wallet again and thought what the heck and pulled another $50 bill and fed that. The max bet was $9. Yes a penny slot. I think about on the third spin it hit 8 quick hits for $10,825.04. The only reason I remember that because when I tell the story I make such a big deal about the 4 cents. The story gets funnier. I had them pay me $750 in cash, take out the taxes, and pay the balance by check. About 20 minutes later I was called the to the cashiers cage because they forgot to put my name on the check. That's the biggest payout I have ever won. My first trip to Las Vegas was February 1993. I saw it snow downtown Las Vegas watching from the 6th floor room at the Golden Nugget one night about 10 pm.

I won 2 hand payouts in Las Vegas recently thanks to you.

I rarely comment on youtube videos but this time I want to Thank you Because I followed your tips and hit a nice hand pay on a machine that I would've never thought. Thanks again man! Great info!!

Hey cowboy, just tried your method again of doublingyour money and then leaving or moving onto a higher denom. Works well. Had me playing and having fun for a long time although I played bingo slots because it's all we have. Method still had good results.

Thanks bro, you confirm several things I've noticed like demoniation, pattern and back to back. I wasn't aware of the Gaming commission info,, excellent tip, the lowest payout on the highest denomination is also excellent. Your overall presentation was excellent. The advice about always knowing your limit before going, stellar advice. That could keep many people from going on tilt and causing lots of problems in their personal lives. I've subscribed because you're informative, laid back and experienced..I believe you're an honest guy. Much appreciated brother! 😎

I love the honesty and transparency that this man shares. Thanks buddy. Awesome videos!

In WA instead of having individual chips controlling each machine there is a central server and its a scratch ticket lottery based system. What I mean by this is when purchasing a scratch ticket there are a set number of tickets in a pack. Say 50 tickets. While nobody knows which specific tickets are winners, those winners are predetermined(not going to randomly change) that game and denominations being distributed from a central server means that all players in the casino are playing from that same scratch ticket pack, but a very large pack indeed. With that said I was playing 88 fortunes max bet hit for $3000. Waiting for the suits to arrive I popped a $100 into the same game next machine. 5 spins in I hit 1800. I'm now playing a 3rd machine..all next to each other. As the suits are writing up the 1st 2 I enter into a bonus round. The lid closes and 14,000 becomes my 3rd jackpot on the same game, same bet, all 3 simultaneously on the handpay screen. What a rush

Thank you for the tips. I love playing slots but didn’t know how to read pay tables. I will definitely check out all your videos. They are educating me on casinos!

Hard Rock just opened their Phase 1 casino here in Bristol VA ( in my backyard basically). I play slots and I've taken home much more than I have put it which is a win right there. I can't wait to use your tips! Thank you so much! I'll let you know how it all worked out

Great video, thank you. I have found it helpful to have a plan before going into the casino, plan your work and work your plan!

Great tips brother! So I have a question. How much you normally feed into a machine before you walk away? Do you take a few spins in or spend a certain amount of money?

Wow! Fantastic info on gambling tips, learned a lot. Thanks for your knowledge and wisdom on playing. Will continue to watch. I play at Kansas Star Casino. Jill from Wichita KS Thanks again

I love what I just learned and can't wait to give it a try. However, can you do some videos on the new machines? Do the same tips apply?

I’d say whether to bet max depends on the machine. For games like Blazing 7 or Wheel of Fortune you have to bet max. For a game where the top payout is more than the coin multiplier like the one in the video there is also a benefit to playing max. But for a game like a 2 coin double diamond where the top payout is just a coin multiplier at max (like 800 for 1 coin and 1600 for 2 coins) there isn’t really an advantage to max betting. I usually change my bet back and forth on those ones.

Thanks for this video my first time I didn’t lose at slots this trip. But I missed out on a spin bonus due to only betting 1 instead of 2 credits ($25) could of been 25k win so to everyone here always bet the max

Thanks for the video, Im on the part about the penny machines, I definitely fall for this every time, making sure I try the higher denomination machines next time

Love your advice and hope to learn more I rarely go to a casino but when you do go it is nice to have a little training

This video was great! Didn't skip at all for once! Will use tips and get back at cha for sure. Appreciate the video

I'm headed to the Peppermill Casino in Wendover Nevada tonight with my son to have some fun and spend some quality time together. He likes to play the tables but I love the old school slots like Double Diamonds. I have had good luck in the past, but I had a much bigger budget to work with. I only have $200 to take tonight, so... I need to make it count. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the tips! I’m a slot player and I’ll be sure to apply them on my next casino visit!

The one variable I would've liked to hear mentioned is time. How much time do you have to play slots. The video seemed to be geared for the player that wants a quick hit. Lots of us want an enjoyable experience and if we win big it's a bonus. You can calculate the expected hourly loss of everything on the casino floor. Slots let you control the pace if you want to stretch your budget. Picking the right machine and not doing the max bet allows you reduce the expected hourly loss. Choose the machine that doesn't penalize you for betting one credit. Pause between each spin and look around. Never hurry the process and tip the beverage server well.

Great video. Need your videos for slot machines. Keep them coming. Hard to find good videos on slot machines.

Thank you for you're tips. I've followed a few and its makes a big difference.

Some of the the things you mentioned I knew but man I learned so much more, thanks bud!

Thank you for the tips especially the last one about knowing when to stop. Love your channel

Thanks for the tips. I don't ever really win but I can see why now. I will try your tips next time I visit a casino.

Just subscribed love these tips I always tell people to never play 10 cent denom always play 50 or above

First time watching your channel. Thank you for the great tips, lots of useful information; "Don't play if I can't afford to play max" 🤔 I needed to hear this! 😊 You are correct about the patterns, once I see that on my machine, I keep playing because I know it's set to pay. Love Stacy's channel!

My husband and I are going on to the casino Dec 15th, I'm going to put this info to good use. Thank you!

Good tips; however, the older 3-wheel machines are fading out of CA. Most tribal casinos here are 90-95% computerized machines with lots of "bells & whistles". Personally, I've loved the older 3-wheelers and have actually done quite well throughout the years.

Thank you!!! My hubby and I have been playing the penny slots for years and never won anything more than $1200. We were driving home from California to Arizona and watched this video. That night we decided to go And put your wisdom to use. We went into the high roller room for the 1st time I sat down at a $5 triple star slot, pulled 3 tines and on the 4th spin I hit a jackpot. $6700. I thought I won $2000 and it kept climbing. Next machine I won$1100 after 3 pulls and then next machine after 5 spins won $900. I was in shock!! We followed your tips and it paid off. Thank you for helping those of us who were scared to play higher minimums. Excited to head back to the high limits again. You are the best!! Thank you thank you!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 As a life coach and self love mentor it helped me break through some of my own beliefs about money coming easily to me!! #moneybeliefs @inspiredwisdom

Thanks for the great tips! Some of them I knew but it was nice to hear the reasons and validation. Some I didn't know but they are really good info! I can confirm your tip on patterns. I've seen it and won a couple of jackpots, but until you discussed it I didn't realized that it was something to watch for and follow, so I now have a new strategy! Also, appreciate the recommendation to get-up-and-leave when the machine is not paying. From now on, I will do that more often!

Question: in your last example , right before tips Recap, when do you know that the machine is probable well balanced ? After about 5 hits ?

I would add one more that probably ties into "Watch for Patterns". I walk around the casino and look at the last cashout. A lot of machines say, "Paid out 65 Credits" or "2100 Credits". I find a machine with a high payout figuring that the person before me played a lot of spins, got their money back or made some money... but not ALL the money. This strategy has treated me well, especially early in the morning. Why the morning? The machine might have been sitting there half the night and that internal clock to get back to legal is accentuated.

I am going to Vegas next month and will be playing at the Strat…I watched this video twice and will be putting the tips to work
