Play Slots

Play slots using our Golden Rules and you can become more effective. Playing slots isn’t rocket science to begin with, so you will find it easy to follow these golden rules as soon as you have read through them...

• Always read the payoff information that is posted next to each machine, especially on Pay for Play machines.

• Never leave your slot machine. If you have a problem, call an attendant and they will come to you.

• Always check you have inserted the correct number of coins when playing Progressive Slots or Pay for Play machines.

• Set limits on how much you are prepared to lose, and don't exceed that limit, because chasing losses can be dangerous. If you play to have fun rather than to make money you will have a great time and avoid worrying about how to pay the mortgage next month.

• If you do intend to play for the big money, you should do as much research as possible about the machine you intend playing. But even in this case you should still set yourself a limit.

• Always play machines that you understand. Never start playing a machine that you have randomly discovered without first reading the rules and familiarising yourself with it.

• Watch others play for a while to see how the machine works.

• Never underestimate luck. You may think that you know a machine’s take or pay cycle, but always remember that luck is the biggest factor in slots play.

• Don't just assume because you have spent all night feeding one particular machine that it will suddenly return all your money plus bonuses. The old “just one more go” routine always turns into just one more after that, and after that...

• If you do hit a streak and end up in the money, consider having one or two games on a high end machine – maybe even a £5 slot. And of course, if you win on one of those you should take the money and run!
