To be a successful slot player (Part 2)

4. Knowing when to quit. No slot machine will continually pay out. They will “take” and “give,” usually in cycles. Sometimes a machine will shower you with coins, while at other times you may get one of the better-paying slots machines but one which is in the “take” cycle. To know when to quit is to protect your investment. That’s where strategy comes into play. (See “The Big Secret,” which follows.)
5. When is enough enough? Well, that’s a toss-up. It depends on what the value of the money happens to be for you. Generally, I’d say that any win over and above
your initial starting investment is profit, and therefore something you should pocket and keep.
6. How often to play? That depends on your available time. Generally, I’d say about once a month, and in dedicated periods for profitable play. But that depends, to a large extent, on your time, access to a casino, and available capital. Find slot games the best for your situation.
7. How long to play? On a $1 machine that takes 2 coins as maximum, about two hours should be enough to run the machine through its paces. However, you should monitor your pay and
adapt your playing time according to the relevant requirements listed earlier. For $1 machines that take 3 coins as maximum, this time period will be determined by your bankroll. So is the case for $5 classic slots machines and higher.
