Wheel Of Fortune
Today I’ll give you four general gambling tips that every gambler should know. I won’t go into a long, exhaustive detail, because these tips don’t require it. The concept is fairly simple. Know them, use them, do better. Let’s get started.
Gambling Tip One: Bankroll
Before going out to gambling you must set limits for yourself. By simply telling yourself how much you can afford to lose and how much you’d like to win, you’ll be ahead of most gamblers. For instance, you might have $100 to lose and you might be willing to stop when you have won $200.
Gambling Tip Two: No Big Six Wheel
The Big Six Wheel is a carnival game that will just suck your money out of your hands. You’ll know this game when you see it. It’s like a standing wheel from the Wheel of Fortune TV show. If you look at the wheel, you’ll see that most of the spaces return even money. Therefore, if you wager on anything else, you’re getting a really bad deal. And there are just enough non-even money spaces to screw you when you wager on the even money spot. You lose either way you play this game. I don’t know if it’s offered online, but if it is, run away.
Gambling Tip Three: Keno is Dinner
Keno was designed to be played while you eat dinner in the casino. Since you can’t gambling while eating, Keno comes to the rescue. However, playing it any other time is somewhat foolish. It’s okay to play for pure fun-if you really love the game. But playing it thinking that you’ll win some big payoff isn’t too wise. Keno is like the lotto expect with much worse payoffs. Many Keno players play while eating or they put in tickets when playing other games, such as poker.
Gambling Tip Four: No Strategy is Foolproof
There is no gambling strategy-other than not playing-that works 100% of the time. Read that again. There are some interesting and fun strategies that can help you have more fun and possible win a little more. In the end, they all fail-yes, all. But don’t take my word for it, go out and play one system for 24 hours at any casino and see how you do. And there’s nothing new under the sun. All the systems being sold as new are just repackages of old systems or they are actually based off of original gambling systems.
Have fun, play smart.

So just how in the heck did slot machines go from where they started to the machines of pleasure we see today? Today, they are modern technical marvels, but in decades gone past, the slot machine was basically a simple mechanical instrument with revolving wheels-nothing fancy.
You pulled the arm and the machine took your money-thus the “one-armed bandit” label was coined. They were very primitive. Personally, I think slot machines have taken a step back. Let me explain.
For eons, the big lure of slot machines was their humongous house advantage-ouch-but their payout method. That’s right. We all love when we hit a slot machine in the paying stomach and it spits out coins nonstop. Listen to the beautiful melody as those coins shoot down the barrel and into the metallic tray below. The whole world could hear when you won-and everyone loved it.
Today, it’s so darn technical that our music and experience has been taken away. Now instead of signaling to the whole world that you’ve just scored, the slot machine calmly and silently prints out a redemption ticket. Clean, yes. Fun, no.
But let’s look more at the fun side of evolution. In the old days, you’d throw in a coin or two, the wheels would spin and some money would pop out if you were lucky. Many got tired of this mundane play and let the slot world. Ah, but that’s all gone now.
Slot machines are now mini video game systems. They have bonuses, side games, moving parts and more. My favorite has to be the Wheel of Fortune. I also loved Reel Em In, which was the first slot machine of its kind.
Walk into any casino (or go online) and gone are the simple 777 slot machine (mostly). Now you’ll find branded video games. They got slot machines for CSI, Adam’s Family, Wheel of Fortune, Deal or No Deal, James Bond, Playboy and anything else you can dream up. In fact, there’s a convention annually that pitches new brands and ideas to casino executives. I even saw some Elvis slot machines-hey, it’s Vegas.
Virtual slot machines are the way of the future. I won’t be surprised to see full-blown video games at some juncture. We’re almost there now.
Since 2003, which is when WMS introduced the CPU-NXT with film-quality animation and high-resolution graphics, slot machines have evolved into next-generation gaming platforms. The future is bright for slot machines and slot machine players.

Slots, they are the lifeblood of any casino-online or otherwise. The one-armed bandits of days gone by are very improved today. The experience of putting a coin in, pulling the handle and repeating are gone. Today, slot machines are more of an experience than ever. They have side games, themes and much more. And the payouts are a little slice of heaven.
Today, I still see people playing the older slot machines, but the slot crowd has definitely grown since video slot machines came on the scene. And online slots are as hot as ever and exploding. There have been some amazing payouts in online slots-none to me unfortunately.
Video slots are here now and are the future. I remember the first video slot machine I played, which happened to be the first out there. It was called Reel-Em-In and it was a blast. I think I played for 10 hours on one once. When it debuted, this video slot was very popular. Right away it started showing up on various casino floors and it took hold quickly. Today, they actually have conferences for video slots. Themes galore is the order of the day.
Many regular casinos devote a lot of floor space to these machines, which are basically video games. Most online casinos have tons of them with every theme and option imaginable. You could play for months on end and still never play all of the video slots out there-it’s fun to try though.
One popular slot machine, still, is the Wheel of Fortune. When that came out, I played it all the time. Whenever the machine would yell out “Wheel of Fortune” I’d get excited. That bonus wheel is addicting. In Las Vegas, I saw one that was huge. It had seats all around it and whenever someone’s machine yelled out the popular catchphrase, everyone stopped clapped and watched the wheel. It was amazing. A friend of mine scored big on Wheel of Fortune-and I’ve won many times.
Remember, these machines are all based off of a random number generator. It’s all random, so don’t ever, ever think you’re “due to win,” because you’re not. The machine doesn’t know how much you’ve played, how much it’s paid out, nothing. It’s all math. You could spin it, hit millions, spin it again, hit millions again or you could put in $3,000 and not hit a darn thing.
Always play slot machines responsibly and always have fun. I don’t think it’s just me, but I tend to play progressives. If I hit, I want it to be so big that I’ve got some serious shopping to do once I’m paid. Slot machines are a blast and video slot machines are where it’s at. If you haven’t tried them, give it a shot. I’m sure you’ll enjoy them.
