With newer video slot machines taking the spotlight when it comes to popularity, regular mechanical slots from IGT are still among the most popular and profitable today. Knowing which slots give the best payouts and higher pay frequencies are absolutely important to making money on an otherwise tough to master game. There’s no doubt that some card games offer the best win percentage, but there are also slot machines that offer a spectacular payback.
Select a machine that has a lower multiplier. Anyone who’s played these type of machines know that your chances of hitting a nice line pay on a 10X pay machine is drastically lower than one that has a 2X pay or no multiplier. Studies have shown that these lower multiplier or wild machines offer a 30% greater payback than those machines that offer a higher multiplier. I can tell you on many occasions that I have almost pulled out my hair when I couldn’t get anything on a 5X or higher slot machine on twenty dollars. The odds are through the floor with those. So as tempting as the high risk, high reward slots that offer greater pay, play some of the lower multiplier machines. You’ll find that you will win more over a longer session than high multiplier games and more frequently.
Play a machine that uses one payline. To the novice slot jockey, it is not immediately obvious to play a single line machine. So hey, the more lines, the more chances to hit some nice pays, right?? Not true, what slot manufacturers have done is that they have spread out the symbols on their reels and have placed more blanks, therefore making it tough to get significant wins. Also, have you ever noticed the pay difference for getting three red sevens on a single line Double Diamond machine and getting the same line win on a five liner? It couldn’t be any more different. Play the single line and win more for the lines and receive a higher payout frequency.
