How to Win at Nickel Slot Machines
According to popular gambling website "Las Vegas Mikey," nickel slot machines are usually some of the most popular games in the casino. While it's true that nickel games typically don't have as much payback as higher denominations, they allow players with smaller budgets to play for longer and spend less. By betting less money you may not win as much when you hit a jackpot, but you'll definitely be able to play for longer, giving you more time to hit the big one.

Choose how much you would like to bet per line, and bet all the lines. When playing a nickel game, it makes no difference to the odds how much you bet on each line, but if you don't bet all the lines you're hurting your chances of winning.

Play long enough to get a feel for the game. Usually this is ten to twenty spins. If you don't win anything at all during that time, it's a good idea to move on to a different game.

Tips & Warnings
If you ask a slot attendant or slot host what nickel machines have been hot lately, they might just tell you. If a machine has been hot, it's likely that the payback of that machine is higher than normal, and you definitely want to play a hot machine.
Be sure to note how many lines the game has before playing. Most nickel machines have nine lines, but some have far more. Many players play nickel games to save money, but some nickel games have so many lines that it's actually cheaper to play all the lines on a nine line quarter game instead.
