Should You Always Bet Max on Slot Machines?

Question

I've heard about the 'bet max' strategy for slots. Is it a good approach to always bet the maximum amount?

Answer 1

It's not necessary to always bet max on slot machines. The key is to play smart and have a budget in mind. For example, if you start with a certain amount, decide on a minimum amount that you're willing to go down to before you stop playing. This helps you leave with a profit and enjoy the game without overspending.

I went back to the casino this afternoon and began playing on a $1 triple double diamond slot.  The triple/double symbol kept falling on the pay line and I kept getting small hits a finally won $300 on a line hit.  I’ve hit $350, $475 and, today, $300 on the $1 denom-single bet triple double diamond slot.  Just exactly like you said.  I’ll never waste my time and money trying All Aboard Piggy Pennies again ( despite that $1200 win a few weeks back!) Single line simple slots (and pinball,) will be my go to slots from here on out! Now, leaving the casino with ALL my winnings is the new lesson I need to learn!

You are an amazing teacher.  I have to learn from you.  Cruising for 21 days in October and November  ... I sit there and play until I lose everything.

Just wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your day to upload and publish these videos! Playing these machines are a lot of fun but it’s hard to keep that self control at times when you do start winning and think you’re invincible lol your videos are the perfect examples of know when to walk away. Thanks for all your tips and strategies

I just recently started watching your videos. I am very impressed with your experience and communication skills but am even more impressed by your honesty. I am retired and don't have a bunch of disposable income to begin with so I cringe watching you put $1000 into a $5 machine. That being said, I do understand why it is better to play higher denomination slots. I will probably give it a try and stop if I haven't done well after a couple of hundred $. I also understand that it is much more difficult to win long term on penny slots but there are some really fun machines. I guess I am in it more for the fun and try to break even. I have never been to Vegas but may go later this year if they keep offering me comps and promotions. Thanks for your videos. Would love to talk with you sometime.
