Step 1
Play at the casino with the best odds. Many gamblers don't realize that payoff odds for slot machines can vary between casinos, typically running between 80 and 98 percent. While there may be minimum payouts mandated by law, some casinos offer a higher percentage as a way to entice players. The minimum varies among the states. For example, in Nevada it's 75 percent, while New Jersey requires a 78 percent return. According to Slotmachines.org, the average national payout among all states with slot machines is 90 percent.

Step 2
Before choosing a slot machine to play, check the various pay charts on each machine and choose the one that offers the best payoff for a jackpot. Many gamblers prefer to play progressive slot machines, which are linked together and offer a chance to win a large cumulative jackpot.
-
Step 3
Play the maximum amount of coins if you are playing a progressive machine. Otherwise, if you hit the jackpot, you will receive a set amount rather than the progressive jackpot. A chart on the machine lists the payouts for each winning combination and number of coins played.

Step 4
If you are on a limited budget, play low-cost slot machines, like penny or nickle machines. This allows you to stretch your money farther, giving you more chances to win, even if you play the maximum amount of lines and coins.
-
Step 5
Don't be afraid to play a machine that has just paid out a large jackpot. According to Kimo's Vegas, slot machines work through a random number generator, which means they are capable of paying out two large amounts in close proximity or even twice in a row.

Step 6
Don't pay money to anyone who claims to have a system for beating slot machines. Because of the heavy regulation and the fact that reel combinations are generated randomly by the random number generator, there is no real way to identify a slot that is ready to pay off or to otherwise increase your odds substantially.
