What is the 'Bank the Bonus' method in slot machines?

Question

Can someone explain the 'Bank the Bonus' method for playing slot machines?

Answer 1

The 'Bank the Bonus' method is a strategy used when playing slot machines to increase the chances of leaving the casino with a profit. The idea is to divide your budget into separate vouchers (e.g., five vouchers of $100 each if your budget is $500) and play different machines with each voucher. You play until you either lose the voucher or hit a bonus game. Once you hit a bonus, you cash out and move on to the next machine, without continuing to play on the same machine, which statistically would lead to a loss over time.

There is no "best method" other than perhaps not play at all.
I spent quite a few years working for a company that made these type of machines and being the leading hand there I got to test most of them. In all the time I was there I only hit the jackpot once. Odds are programmed in and can be changed on the fly without any player's knowledge. There is usually one machine that has good odds and that one is used as bait. Don't waste your time and money, they are programmed to make profit for the venue not the player.

I dont' remember the last time I've played $100 in a machine and NOT get a bonus. I wouldn't say this method is leak proof, but I can see it working a little. It's all about the timing and most of all LUCK. Also gotta watch for the machines that must pay by certain amounts or hit a bonus by certain amounts of spins too. Noroc!!!

Great concept and simple! Should keep you from getting bled out on one losing machine. Thanks

I was betting like that but with 1s and later 20s. Now I play 50s and 100s, I will try it with 50s. Thanks.

This method works ok here in Australia ok also, however I often win far more on lower denomination bets.
