Rate It [ 0.00 / 0 Votes ]
You want to bring enough money to the machines so you can handle a moderate size losing streak, but still have enough playing stake money so that luck can turn itself around and maybe swing the fortune in the other direction. That amount, which we'll get to in a second, will be your one session stake. If that stake gets drained, then you call it a day.
The key concept in formulating single session bankrolls for a machine is to restrict losses to affordable amounts. That's why you should bring "moderate" amounts, not substantial amounts to the slot machines. Minimizing losses is the key. You can't always win. That's a fact of life for gamblers. If you're losing, keep the losses affordable -take a break. Don't let yourself get caught in a situation where you get beat badly. There's always another day.
You should have enough money at the machines to cover 200 Plays. A play is the amount of money you'll be betting on one spin. For example, if you're playing $0.25 machines and are playing three coins at a time, your play costs $0.75. Thus, your bankroll for the session should be $150. If your coin instead was $1, then you would need a $600 machine stake (200 plays x $3). $0.05 players would bring $30 at three coins per spin. These are the maximum numbers. You can risk less, which you might want to play it safe.
These conservative numbers are designed to keep your losses to affordable amounts. This doesn't mean that you'll lose the amounts shown above, only that you won't lose more than that. That's a big step in the right direction right there.

5 - Protect Your Winning Streaks Rate It [ 0.00 / 0 Votes ]
Once you've accumulated a sizable win at the slot machines, and had yourself a good run, the most important thing is to walk away a winner. There is no worse feeling than skulking away from a machine after having lost all your wins back.
The general guidelines it is recommend to put away three fourths or more of your winnings into a "protected" area that you won't touch under any circumstances. That money is bankable, for you won't play it. Whether those wins are put aside as coins in a "no touch zone" plastic bucket, a mental note to shut off after you drop to a certain number of credits, or however you do it, make sure you do it.
Never touch the money you have set a side in your protected zone. Never. Protecting your wins just as Important as limiting your losses. Once the coins or credits are on your side, it's your money, not the casinos. It's yours now. You risked and you won. Great. Now take it home with you and do something fun with it.
