Obviously there are both conservative and aggressive
gamblers at every game in the casino. Players who are
conservative in their approach, are happy with small returns
on a more regular basis.
Conservative slots play is generally more rewarding.
The big paydays are not quite as constant but the big
loss days are very, very rare. The aggressive players
do end up with high paydays on occasion but also experience
the big losses on days when things don't go so well.
The
up the steps approach is very popular with conservative
players, but maybe you prefer a little more aggressive
play. This is called "pattern play," because the increases
are not predicated on a winning pull, rather a predetermined
pattern of bets that you set up ahead of time.
You can choose any pattern you like but it has to be
set up before you venture onto the casino floor or login
to your online casino. Otherwise you'll be making wild
bets and decisions on hunches, emotions, or any other
gut feelings that enters your mind.
Let's say you set up a betting sequence, geared to a
series of fifteen bets: 1-1-1-2-2-2-3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1.
In this case you have set 27 coins aside to play out this
pattern. There is no loss
limits or naked
pulls amount to stop you. You pick a machine and go
through with the pattern. If, when the series is complete,
you have back your original investment plus a profit,
then you pocket these extra coins and go through the same
27-coin series again. We recommend a 50 percent loss limit
in a series to gear your stay at a machine. If you lose
three consecutive series of 14 or more coins, then that
slots machine session is complete.
You do not change the predetermined pattern at any slots
machine. If you started with the one previously laid out
(27), then you play it out that way for every series you
attempt at that particular machine. When a 27-coin series
is complete, you should always put aside the profits.
You can stay at a machine as long as you keep winning,
but, and this is where you have to keep records, and you
do not stay at a machine if :
- You lose three series in a row.
- You lose three out of four series.
Suppose you lose 16 coins, lose 14 coins, win 6 coins,
lose 12 coins, win 3 coins you're slowly being ground
out, even though there were not three consecutive losing
sessions. Leave that slots machine. If playing online
slots just have a scrap piece of paper and keep a basic
record of the results.
