Slot Strategies for Advantage Games

Here you will find strategies and bankroll recommendations for many of the advantage play machines you will find in casinos.

The risk scale indicates how many “units” you should have on hand to finish a play safely. If you’re betting $1 per spin and I recommend having at least 100x the bet, that’s $100. If you’re on the same type of play but you’re betting $5 per spin, that’s $500.

Green= Generally 1-20 spins; Yellow= Usually 20-60 spins; Orange= Worst-case scenario could be hundreds of spins; Red= Might cost hundreds or rarely thousands of spins

Long term, my “minimum play recommendations” that you see at the top of each game should get you just over a 100% return. That’s not to say you will win 100% of the time. Not even close. Rather, it’s my opinion on how low you can go in each game and still be profitable over a large sample, assuming an average RTP (i.e., not at a casino with a below-average “return to player”). I have and will continue to adjust some numbers as I get more of a sample, so nothing is set in stone.
