Money Saving Tip: Slot Machines

It seems like a rush, right? Drop in 75 cents, pull the lever, and hope that the jackpot siren will go off. In all honesty, I recall seeing more people playing slots in Las Vegas casinos than anything else. Personally, I cannot sit in front of a slot machine for hours on end. At the same time, it could mostly be due to the game involving no player skill. Having the fate of the pull determined by a computer chip in a machine doesn't sit well with me; especially if I plan on investing hundreds of dollars in Las Vegas gambling.

When in a casino, I always encourage first timers to check out everything being offered. Many times, however, the flashing lights and sound effects put out by these money-hungry computers are impossible to resist. Take a page from my book: if slots are a new endeavor, start small and work your way up. Penny slots are a great way to spend a few bucks if gambling is completely new and nobody will be immediately overwhelmed. Don't be intimidated into thinking that high credit slots only have good payouts. I've personally hit a few small jackpots on penny slots and it is well worth the ten dollar investments. Just remember to set spending limits if your on the verge of becoming a slot machine junkie. Have fun, and remember to be responsible. I'll see you...in Las Vegas.
