Everyone knows that playing the slots is a game of chance.  Want to make your chances better?  Here are a few tips to help make your money at the nickel machine go further.

First, check to see whether someone has just won a big payout on your machine.  If so, walk away!  Find a machine that has a smaller payout and take a seat.  

Next, check out the line payouts.  You'll usually find an icon on the bottom corner of the machine's screen.  Go through each one.  If the payouts are high then you've found a good machine.  This is also the screen where you will find how to achieve the bonus, if the machine offers one.  Finding a machine that offers a bonus is a good idea. The bonus round is where you can really win the big bucks!  Try to find a machine with a bonus that offers free spins or a multiplier.  These seem to pay out the best.

After you put in your money look at how many lines there are and decide how much you want to bet on each line.  The more you can bet the better.  Obviously, the higher the bet the more you'll win.  If you can't afford to put in the money for a maximum bet, then at least try to put a bet down on each line.

It's time to spin.  If you've won, congratulations!  Keep going.  If you are only winning small amounts at a time don't increase your bet.  If you win a lot, try increasing your line bet.  Maybe even put down a maximum bet.  If you don't win anything after ten spins, walk away.  If you haven't won in the first ten spins, chances are you won't win in the next ten either.

Good luck.  Just remember, gambling is meant to be fun.  Don't sit down at the machine expecting to win, and don't spend more money than you can afford.  It's best to bring a set amount of money and quit if you've lost it all.  Also, if possible, leave your bank card at home.  Easy access to your ATM card is how you can get into real trouble.
