Question: I usually play Hot Roll Video Poker, ten hands at 5-cent, 10-cent and 25-cent denomination. The game of choice is 8/5 Double Double Bonus or 9/5 for 25-cent denomination. This is all we have here in Boston. Each bet is $5, $10, and $25, respectively.
The question is: What is the bankroll ... (read more)

Ask the Slot Expert: Readers' advice to hold on to slot winnings7 April 2021
Question: I read with great interest your answer to the reader's question on how to walk out with your winnings and not put it back into the machine. I too have had difficulty getting up from a machine -- whether winning or losing.
A long time ago at the old Atlantic City Hilton, I had a run like never before, or after. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: How do you hold on to your slot winnings?31 March 2021
Question: I love your articles and Q/A.
I have no complaints, most of the time, about the casino where I play twice a month with just $400 each time. I find the pay back is fair.
Here is where I need your suggestions: I win and I always put ALL the winnings back. I'm alone and play. Like last week I won $850 and gave it ALL back. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Do you stop playing before you run out of money?24 March 2021
Two weeks ago I wrote about how I had altered my bankrolling from bringing enough money to see me through all but the worst luck to accepting a greater risk of running out of money before reaching my goal. I usually have a goal of playing a certain number of points because I'm trying to keep on a steady ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: My slot club account has been suppressed17 March 2021
Question: I texted my host asking him if he knew when my offers would go back up because a few months ago they literally dropped off completely with no gradual decline.
He checked into it and texted me that my club card account has been suppressed. He said we would talk about it in person so he could explain it to me but we haven't had a chance to connect yet. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Do you switch video poker machines when your machine goes cold?10 March 2021
In a past column, I asked whether you tend to play one machine or bounce around from machine to machine when playing video poker.
I intentionally excluded behavior when playing slots. Slot players more frequently switch games when a machine goes cold. In addition, most slot players have a list of ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Do casinos determine who will win a slot tournament?3 March 2021
Question: I have participated in a few slot tournaments in Las Vegas recently and have noticed some extreme irregularities when it comes to how the points are won. Several times I have hit three double multipliers in a row, which should have given me humongous points but instead I got no score at all. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: New screen almost makes me lose out on free play24 February 2021
Last week I wrote about changes to the slot club software on Red Rock's video poker machines (and probably all video poker machines in a Stations casino) . Whenever a casino changes a system, you have to pay attention. Things might work a little bit differently now.
For those not familiar with these video poker machines, they don't have separate, dedicated displays for the slot club. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: New slot club software on video poker machines17 February 2021
Question:
In response to your column today here is what I do with my points:
I prefer to cash my points in once a year. So, I do it at the start of each calendar year. The Indian casino here does not care when the player does this. However, only $500 worth can be cashed in at one time. ... (read more)
