Two tips for staying successful

Golden Riviera casino features an enormous array of slots. Each of these slots carries a unique theme. It is part of the way we create a stimulating atmosphere for our players, from ages long past to mythological forces from around the world. But it’s important to remember that the basic mechanism behind the operation of the slots remains markedly similar regardless of the dressing that covers the machine’s front end.

Let’s all admit from the outset that slots are exclusively about chance. There is no real strategy involved in pulling the wheel, spinning the reel and waiting for a combination. The best we can offer you are some tried and tested tips that can give you the most out of your slots experience. Here are two of our premier principles for long-term slot success. They won’t guarantee you a win, but they are two important considerations for the slot lover.

When you choose a machine, it’s a good idea to have a set number of dead-end spins in your mind that will determine when you leave the machine. If after, say, 25 spins you have not received a payout, then change machines. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see a change in your winnings – that would mean falling into the gambler’s fallacy, which on the slots would erroneously suggest that some machines have a higher payoff chance at different times.

A slot machine is somehow more “primed” for a win at certain times. On progressive jackpots the potential payouts can of course but the actual probability of hitting the jackpot doesn’t change. The reason we suggest switching slots when it appears that you’ve hit a dead end is simply because it can give you a mental boost. Ultimately, this can mean a more enjoyable experience, which is ultimately what good-time gambling is all about.

If you are planning a trip to a land-based casino, it is a good idea to plan ahead with your bankroll. Managing your gambling money is a good way to make ensure that you don’t leave depressed, deprived and distraught. Sure, for the really high rollers, bankroll management is not something they even need to be concerned. But for the ordinary casino patron, it’s a crucial part of both responsible gambling and slot survival.

Part of bankroll management is also about determining how long your bankroll will last you. Let us say that a player gives himself $2 000 at the beginning of the month with which to play the slot reels. If he wants to play 5 days per week then it is going to cost him around $335 per week to play. Anything won over and above this can obviously be used to extend play, but never count on this.

If any kind of jackpot is won, consider a bonus that can either be set aside as an extra little nest egg or used to extend the bankroll for that week. Work out how much you need at each time and stick to those limits no matter what.
