Am I the only one losing at the slots?10 June 2007
Dear Patrick: You belong to the biggest club on planet Earth - the slot player who loses over and over again but keeps playing in the hopes that he will win some money, some time, and have some fun. You are not alone. You are not unique. Slot machines are holding anywhere from about 5 percent on dollar machines, to 10 percent on 25-cent machines and all the way up to 15 percent on those giant progressives. Those are very big edges and they are hard to overcome - rather, they are hard to beat even on single nights in the casinos. Those "hits" you want are few and far between and if you are giving them weekly action then you are on the side of the slot bell curve for those who have lost more than the probability indicates you'll lose. There are some people on the other side of the bell curve who have lost less than they should have. But winning? Getting big hits? Just listen as you play to the sounds of the slot players at those thousands of machines. How many are screaming? You might get one on a night who hit something really worth hitting. Think of those hundreds of thousands of spins and no major winners. You might consider moving to other games such as craps and blackjack where you can keep the house edge at bay. Personally I think these games have more to offer someone such as yourself. For your excellent letter I am giving you a free month on my members only private web site at www.goldentouchcraps.com. There are over 5,000 members on this private site. Enjoy! All the best in and out of the casinos! Frank Scoblete Do you have a question for Frank? Send it to Ask Frank.
