How to Make Money at Slots

How to Make Money at Slots You’re watching the Players Network. Male: Hey life’s a gamble; you’re watching the Players Network. I’m the player. Dana West: Welcome back to Players World, the casino that’s cranking 24/7. Brian Tracey: I’m Brian Tracey. Dana West: And I’m Dana West. Brian Tracey: Alright, first step, we’re going to talk about the Casino game that is captured America the attention for over 100 years now and all because of chewing gum. Dana West: It’s the game that brings through out the Casinos as the coins dropped to your stainless steel hopper. Brian Tracey: And you know what that ka-ching, ka-ching sound means? Dana West: Maybe need I need to higher octane gas? Brian Tracey: Not exactly. What it needs is that people all over the Casino are cashing in on Jackpots. All on our machine that occupies over 50% of any Casino floor. Of course we’re talking about Slot Machines. Justine Priestley: In they days of Bugsy Seagulls, slots were on after thought. The floor went to the table games and the slots—well the slots went to the wives of the high rolling Blackjack and Craps players. We slip in a coin, pull the handle and waited to see what would happen. What else was a wife to do, take dance lessons all day? Today’s slot machines have all the advantages of Nintendo technology. But the basic principle behind them is still the same as the first mechanical slot machine invented in San Francisco in the late 1890s. Narrator: The lure of the frontier, American heroes were born with the likes of Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hickok and Doc Holiday. To Charlie Fey the 21st off spring of a Bavarian school teacher, the American Adventure played right in to his mind. When Charlie hit America, he begun dabbling and gambling apparatus, punch board, wheels of fortune, but it was San Francisco’s Barbary Coast the captured Charlie’s fancy. Charlie Fey Character: It was the world of prospectors and dances all girls. Gamblers and more gamblers, Ruby Robert, Betamillion John Gates, Charlie Fey, inventor of the Liberty Bells Slot Machine. Drinks were too bits a throw whether it was the hooch will kick back or the pink lader they serve the women and it was in these saloons and tobacco shops where I saw my very first Poker Vending Machine. You insert a nickel in the slot and a five-card hand flipped up. Now, the better winners were paid off in cigars and chewing gums. I tried not to chew it all in one place. Well, that got me in to thinking, Three wheels, each roll and out ten symbols, playing cards, horseshoes and one liberty bell. To win the big jackpot, all you had to do is get three liberty bells in a row. Justine Priestley: A one and a thousand shot, but because the pay out was real cash and no longer a stick of gum, Charlie’s Liberty Bell took the country by storm and earn the nickname the Thomas Edison of slot machines. Thanks Charlie. Dana West: Did you know that Charlie Fey’s original design and concept remain the standard for slot machines for over 60 years. Brian Tracey: And have you ever wondered where all those fruit symbols come from, the cherries, the lemons and the grapes? Well, they are actually the flavors of the gum that was paid out in the early days. Dana West: So have you noticed itching then pull down that one arrow let’s had on down on the floor and Jeff Colt is going to show us how to spin our way to the jackpot. Jeff Colt: The slot machine holds a special attraction to me. In one way or another, it’s kind of something that I’ve doing pretty much all my life. When I was little, I put a nickel in the gumball machine, turned the knob and out came my gum. When I was older, I put a coin in a pinball machine, took control of the flippers then watched the light to the number’s spin. If I racked up enough points, I even got a bonus game to boot. So, I pretty much feel right home, putting quarters in machines and watching of spin. You should see how excited I get on laundry day. So, in the intimidating world of blackjack and craps, that at home feel could be just the ticket for first time in Vegas. I’ve ask Heidi Rantsen manager of Slots at Players World to give us a few tips on how to handle your way around that maze dominated the Casino Floor. Hi Heidi. Heidi Rantsen: Hi Jeff. First thing to know is that clot machines are program to pay off randomly according to a set’s schedule of odds, so it is fact or myth that machines become due to hit a jackpot. Jeff Colt: That’s a myth. Heidi Rantsen: So if it falls to faith, then you’ve got to feel your way to the right machine. Jeff Colt: How they’ll know? This is going to be an over all package for me. Good looks along just do not do it. You can have something going on inside. I like the machine with lemons. Can I say lemons? Heidi Rantsen: Jeff, here’s a couple of other players to tell you their technique. Female: You walk around until one talks to you and it will call out your name and it helps if you have your handout too because you can feel the energy coming from the machine. I says dearly, dearly come to me. Male: Just pick them at random and if they’re good we just stick with them. Female2: You just know, it seems calling for you. Female3: I like the red, white and blue. And I go by the numbers on the machine. Female4: There’s no secret. Male2: If you’re lucky, you’re lucky. Heidi Rantsen: Twin Crowns, now this baby speaks my language. Jeff Colt: Quarter. Heidi Rantsen: It will not going to work. Quarter, dollar machine. You got to check the denominations. Machines are played anywhere from pennies. Jeff Colt: pennies, you’re kidding? Heidi Rantsen: No, all the way up to $500 machines found in the high limit slot area. Jeff Colt: $500, that’s going to be typo. Heidi Rantsen: There’s two ways to play slots. There’s the Frequent Play and the big jackpot like the Nevada Nickels, Quarter Mania and Cool Millions. You can tell aggressive machine because every coin going into the backup machines adds up and the bank just plays above and progressive jackpots can be huge. Jeff Colt: And this is very cool. You can even summon a change person from your machine by pushing the change bottom and that activates a light, top you machine, just like that. Oh I’m sorry. I was just showing her down. Heidi Rantsen: Some machines even take bills and instead of coins, you get credits on the meter. The real advantage comes when you wager with the multiple pay lines. That’s the world on slots, pull or spin, you’re ready to play. Jeff Colt: Well, thanks a lot Heidi for dropping by. Heidi Rantsen: Thanks. Maybe next time we can pull some handles together. Jeff Colt: Some handles, what does that mean? Heidi Rantsen: Play slots. Jeff Colt: That of course. Okay, you’re on. Heidi Rantsen: Thanks. Brian Tracey: Hey Dana, you got a buck? Dana West: What do you need in a buck for? Brian Tracey: Well, I figured, if you give me a dollar then I can turn it to thousands of dollars and we can have a lot of fun tonight. Dana West: Fat chance. Anyway, that’s it for us here at Players World. For Brian Tracey, I’m Dana West. Remember, it’s a playground out there. There’s no curfew so you come out and play. And go Wild card. [Music Playing]
