Despite the fact that slot machines have the lowest odds of winning they enjoy the highest popularity among gamblers.

The slot department in any Las Vegas casino takes up more than half the gaming area and generates more than half the casino's revenue.

Gamblers love slot machines because they're easy to play, provide lots of action, both visual and audio, and are just downright.

Nickel and even penny machines have been growing in popularity, especially among the "locals," and for good reason. These machines obviously provide more gambling play for the buck, but, they usually offer a slightly higher payout rate, which is something most visitors are unaware of.

Tip #1- It pays to watch what the locals do.

How can you tell who the locals are?

Tip #2- They're usually dressed more casually than vacationers. Check out the pictures of me scattered around my blogs for examples although I'm a bit sloppier than most.

The caveat here is that in order to take advantage of the higher rate, a player must bet the maximum amount, or close to it. You'll soon realize that you're now gambling the same amount as you would on a quarter, or higher denomination machine. But if the odds are better, and you were going to burn quarters anyway, why not give "Nickel Hell," as my wife used to call it during her days as a Slot Shift Manager, a try?

This brings us to the "drinks" part of this posting.

Pretty much everyone knows that gamblers in Las Vegas are treated to free drinks.

I wonder why?

However, the hot, scantily clad cocktail waitresses who supply the free hydration don't ply that area as frequently as the quarter and dollar slots, for obvious reasons.

So how does the penny and nickel slot player, who plays as much as the quarter and dollar machines get his or her share of the free drinks?

Tip #3- Hang around the higher denomination slot area, sit at a machine, or flag down a cocktail waitress in that area, that's all there is to it.

Chances are if you just walk over to one while she's serving another player, or taking an order, she'll ask you if you want a drink.

Then you can find your lucky nickel machine, and by the time drink #1 is working its way through your system, a cocktail waitress will probably saunter your way.

Here's a website with some tips about getting the most out of your slot play.

This website claims to have free, for fun, slot machines, and a contest. I have not checked this place out, so if it's not as advertised, don't blame me.
