This is more of an actual slot strategy than a bigger-picture casino observation, but it’s still general enough that I think it warrants a quick explainer. This is going to be about as brief as it gets, as I break down this concept in-depth whenever it applies to a specific game. You’ll often hear me…
Why? There are a few reasons for this. First, you could drop it. Duh. But if you think about it, there’s an opportunity for that to happen as an advantage slot player. You’re not going to the casino like a normal person and sitting on a machine for an hour and then leaving. I mean,…
Card pulling is something a lot of people do, and it’s something I always used to do up until mid-2025 or so. I still do it at some casinos, but for the most part, I’ve stopped being as flippant about it. We’ve all heard that it’s a good idea to use your casino player’s card.…
The casino always screws you over. But at least it’s out in the open: The house has an edge in every game, and if you gamble enough, you’ll lose everything. Fair enough; we all signed that unwritten contract upon entering. So if you’re playing a slot machine in a typical casino and the RTP (return…
Can you get by while knowing how to beat 10 common machines correctly? Yes, and Bruce Lee did say, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” So true. It’s better to master a few than be half-right on hundreds.…
This is exceedingly important, and I’ve touched on it before, including in the post about good and bad signs for camping. But why is it so important? I won’t overlap too much with what I said in other videos in this section, including how to identify these pros. But if you see someone walking around…
This might be an overlooked aspect of slotting, and it’s also one of those things that will be impossible to apply perfectly on day one. Advantage slotting is as much about maximizing your time as anything, and there are plenty of ways to cut corners without leaving too much meat on the bone. For instance,…
This is something that I think a lot of slot hustlers take for granted, which probably isn’t obvious to someone just starting. These advantage games are not all the same. At this point, especially if you include “clones” (different versions of the same game), I must have write-ups for over 300 games. It was much…
I referenced this in a couple of other posts and mentioned it briefly in the book, but this deserves its own section, especially these days. Why did advantage slots exist in the first place? Well, to draw in more people and keep them on the machine so they’d eventually lose all their money. But then…
Tough question, and it depends on what you’re looking for. Let’s start with the obvious: to make money. What’s the saying about telling people about the “best spot” to fish and then it quickly no longer becomes the best spot to fish? Well, I can assure you I don’t have any secret spots in 2026.…
