Excerpt:

     Casinos today earn more money from slot machines than from all their table games combined. If slot machines didn't exist, there would be no pirate battles, canals, or 1,000-foot-tall towers at the casinos we frequent.
     Today's slot machine is a high-tech marriage of computers, mathematics, and graphics—a far cry from the slot machines found in casinos even as recently as five years ago.
     Because there's now such a variety of slots (with new ones appearing every year) and so many different things to be aware of while playing them, slot players need to keep abreast of how today's machines work. Like aficionados of any gambling game, slot players can use knowledge about their favorite game to improve results while playing.
     This book will show you how to recognize the different types of machines and explain what makes them different. You'll learn which types of machines let you play for a long time and which types eat your bankroll quickly.
     You'll also learn how many coins should be played in each type of machine, as well as techniques for stretching both your bankroll and your play time.
     I can't guarantee that you'll win every time you play if you follow these tips. But I can guarantee that you'll play longer on the same bankroll and have more fun while you do.
