    I absolutely love slots and I don't really dabble in much else whenever I get a chance to gamble. I wouldn't say I'm addicted since I don't play often but I can easily spend 6+ hours pulling that rod and hoping to get lucky whenever I get a chance. I don't really play to make money because I'm old and experienced enough to know the house always wins, but I just love the thrill of pulling and seeing the drum spin and waiting with baited breath to see if I'm a winner. The sounds and visuals are a bonus too because they're normally super well done (probably on purpose to get you hooked, and yes, it works on me because watching the spin is almost as entertaining as winning). So for me, I'm happy to pay the so called "house edge" for the pure joy and entertainment I get from playing slots and for being in the casino atmosphere which is just lovely and sublime.
    Winning more often is an important factor because that's obviously the most exhilirating part.
    So which machine should I play on (and where can I find it in Las Vegas) such that my money will go the furthest (allow longer playing time for same amount of money) AND I will win more often (even though I'll probably still lose money overall in the end)?
    Thanks.

    If you want your money to last, find a penny slot that lets you bet a penny at a time on only one line: a penny a pull.

    Seriously.
    What, Me Worry?

    Yes, I suppose penny slots will make the same amount of my money go furthest since they're the cheapest per pull, but what about my other criteria "AND I will win more often"?
    So I suppose to rephrase, what I'm asking is, which penny slot wins MOST OFTEN in Las Vegas?
    Or maybe there's a machine that is NOT a penny slot, but which wins SO OFTEN that even though it is costlier per pull than a penny slot, the more frequent wins would allow me to play for longer?

    if you enjoy "pulling on the rod".....you have eliminated 75 percent of the penny slots at least...since they generally have buttons.

    my guess is that you are an expert at pulling on the rod.

    Where' the beef?

    MC, I have a dumb question. I'm not a slot guy. But I get free play for slots etc,etc. There is a deal where I win between $5 and $50 by swiping my card after earning 1 Tier point. There are 9 circles. 3 of the circles are $5 and 1 is to win $50. The others are somewhere inbetween. I touch one and it reveals how much free play I've won. Not once have I ever won more than $5 out of I'd say at least 50 tries. Either this is rigged or I'm the worst circle picker on earth. Any suggestions?

    I like this guy for penny machines. He has a strategy with a $5 win cashout and he's a frequent poster, I.e., he's not an armchair player! I started with this video because it explains his strategy, and it's one of his few LOSING sessions, so no BS. And you choose the game that appeals to you as NO ONE knows when a game will hit. WARNING: he's already been labeled a joke on this joke of a forum.
    BTW, he said $25 ahead. Just so no confusion- he means $5 ahead of his $20 stake.

    Every single slot video on YouTube is highly edited. These people are the same slot losers you see in casinos every day. Many of them even beg for donations for their addiction on sites like Patreon.

    Smells like disdain with a heaping side of jealousy to me.

    Homeboy has 24,000+ views on that video, so apparently people like watching what he is doing. If he's delivering the sort of entertainment that would justify 24K views, then why not request compensation for it? It's no different than people who do reviews of movies, sports, wrestling, video games or anything else having a Patreon page. Most importantly, Patreon is a mechanism by which people donate to whoever they want if they like the videos enough that they feel like they should do so. It's not like those cable channels that people are charged for (because of bundle packages) that they never watch, but pay for anyway.

    If he can make back his expected losses (and maybe even some over and above) by putting his videos on Youtube and gaining followers and Patreon subscribers, I say, "Good for him!" Even if he can't, it's his money and the money of the people who donate to him, so what do you care what he does with it or what his backers do with it?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Patreon guy. There's enough on Youtube that I can watch for free that I'm not going to start effectively paying for stuff until I can't find anything to watch anymore. As it is, I watch Youtube WAY MORE than I should, so I'm having no issues with not enough free content.

    Do you realize you just took both sides of the issue and told us that you are in favor and against it at the same time!?

    What a sick post... and a long one to actually say nothing at all.

    My advice for you is to watch some more Youtube but make sure it is Free Youtube Viewing.

    How did I take both sides?

    I said if he wants to ask for Patreon donations he can, if people want to make the donations; they can. I’m not personally inclined to donate. What’s inconsistent?

    I also don’t watch slot videos for entertainment, by the way. Almost everyone I watch makes money via YouTube ads, but some also have Patreon.

    ok she deleted the reference to "pulling on the rod".

    But she left up "pulling": and " watching the drum spin".....yet with penny slots there is no drumb spinning most of the time. Its video....like the one that she posted. There is no "rod" to handler and pull on.

    more proof she is fucking with you guys.

    I think Keystone put it best with his response....as response to the unedited version.

    but there are folks who fell over themselves to give aimee advice. You remember aimeee..she like slow massages, and she would get drunk and lose her memory.

    but aimee didnt mention a good piece of meat or pulling on a rod.....so these are very different people. Aimee didnt pretend to not know the difference between a message board and a chat site.

    good ole aimee.....and the people who fell over themselves to get on her good side

    I find it no different then some poor loser coming up to you in a casino begging for more money because they already lost all of theirs. whether on YouTube or not, I'm NOT going to fund anyones ploppie gambling addiction.

    I understand, but disagree with your point. The reason that I disagree is that someone who went El Busto who comes up to me begging for money in a casino is only being a pain in my ass and is not bringing me anything of value, entertainment or otherwise.

    In the case of the Youtube videos, he's delivering a sought after product, which is videos of someone playing slot machines. With that, he has brought the person a thing of entertainment value. I think that makes it a little different. I think that it might be a good thing for casual players who do not live in areas with readily accessible slot machines because they might get some idea of what machine looks fun when they do take a trip to the casino.

    No matter what you or he has said most of his sessions are going to be losers.

    if one calls "bs: on something or warns of possible BS....its not automatically jealousy

    in this case ironically he is commenting on a BSer showing video of another BSer.......

    its amazing that in a short period of time we have Tasha, kentry, sueEllen,...and lets wait for aimee to arrive...and maybe fat blonde will make bets that all 4 are real.

    SueEllen is a troll using a proxy to hide their IP address.

    I am banning this person.

    Do not make further accounts to circumvent this, as I will take action if you do. I have the ability to see "through" proxies, and I really don't want to have to expend the effort to do that.
