Super Slots

Super Slots are progressive slot machines that offer the potential of seriously life-changing wins. Winning the progressives is something that lots of slots players dream of, but is it a realistic goal or should winning a progressive jackpot remain an idle fantasy?

It may surprise you, but a frightening number are counting on winning the progressives to fund their retirement or children’s education. We describe this as frightening because no form of gambling should be considered a part of a rational person’s investment portfolio. Gambling is primarily a pastime that exists for entertainment purposes – not as an alternative to rational pursuits like working and saving for the future.

That said, you should approach the idea of winning the progressives as a bit of fun. As long as you are playing with discretionary income, and your bets always remain within your means, there is nothing to stop you having a go at winning a big prize, just as there nothing wrong with playing lotteries for the same reason. Just remember that no surviving casino has ever returned money to a player who lost more money than he or she could really afford to lose.

Online Casinos can only be beaten by astute players who patiently settle for small victories, like a few hundred dollars or pounds. With knowledge of the odds, probabilities, and correct strategies for the various games available, you can eke out small wins, especially if the game involves skill. Here are a few tips that might help you with super slots:

When playing progressive slots, use a trailing stop loss to lock in profits. This involves taking your original stake out of the equation as soon as you are £10 into profit, and then taking half of all further profits out of the equation. For example, if you decide to risk £20 on the slots and after half an hour you have £30, you would take your original £20 and put it in your pocket, leaving you with £10 to play with. If you lose this £10 you go home (or log off) with your original £20. If you increase your £10 to £12, you would place £1 in your pocket and continue playing with the remaining £11, and so on.

Of course, you can adjust this strategy for higher amounts, but the principle of “locking in” half of your profits as soon as they are generated remains the same. Working in this way, it is possible to spend hours at a machine playing with the casino’s money, knowing that if everything suddenly goes pear-shaped you have a pocket or online account full of profits already safely tucked away.

If you get change to play a super slot machine in a casino, give the teller a small tip. Then ask for pointers on which machine they would recommend you play. Often these tellers spend hours watching people play the machines, and in many cases they can point out a machine which hasn’t paid out a large prize for a while. Of course, you need to be discreet when asking a teller for a hint, and you have to take his (or her) word on trust. However, if you mention that there might be another tip forthcoming if you do well, you may well find that the teller becomes your new best friend.

Whereas thirty years ago a slot machine simply required you to pull a lever and hope for the best, modern machines, including most progressive slots, often have at least one feature – such as a nudge or a hold – which give the player the opportunity to exercise his skill and judgement. To make the most out of these opportunities you need to go slow when playing. It is all too easy to become an automaton, and mindlessly feed the machines coin after coin without thinking about what you are doing.

Go slow, stay awake, concentrate on what opportunities the machine gives you and you may well find that your gaming becomes more profitable. Who knows, you might even end up winning the progressive, in which case the super slots would give you a super win.
