The strategy we'll go over now is called "the shotgun."
That's because you're gonna take a shot at a row of machines
or your favourite online slot games where you won't do
much damage to your bankroll, but you may hit on a number
of small machines, maybe six, where you'll put your plan
into play.
Actually, you're taking a shot at all six machines, not
just one, hoping at least one of them is ripe for a nice
payout. You set up your pattern of play, but this strategy
is not aimed at just one machine, rather, it's aimed at
how much you'll put into each of the machines. We'll start
with the first machine where you deposit 1 coin and pull.
Then deposit 2 coins and pull. Then deposit 3 coins and
pull, then 4 coins, and last 5 coins. Then you move on
to the next machine, except if one of the plays gives
a payout. In that case, you have to repeat the amount
of coins you played, because you never leave a machine
where your last play was a winning one.
Each machine of the six that you picked out gets the
same level of play. All the machines must be the same,
i.e., 5 coin machines (you can also play this at the 3-coin
slots).
- Pick six slots.
- Set aside 15 coins for each.
- Set naked
pulls and loss
limits.
- Deposit coins in the pattern of 1-2-3-4-5.
- When the six machines have been played, the series
is finished.
Go back and start over.
The strategy of the shotgun is that one, two, or even
three of those machines will give a payout. The most you
are investing in a machine is the total of the series
1-2-3-4-5, which equals 15 coins or $3.75 at the quarter
slots. Of course, if you want to play at a higher stakes
machine, you can, providing that your bankroll allows
it.
If you have a small stake, simply cut down your series
to 1-2-3. That means that at the quarter slots you're
risking $1.50 per machine and $9 for the whole group of
six machines. You can vary the number of coins you put
in, as well as varying the number of machines you play.
Again, your bankroll will determine how many machines
and how many coins you can play.
The shotgun gives you a couple of shots at several machines.
You won't win a lot of money at one machine, but you won't
do much damage to your bankroll either.
