2 comments about Secrets Of Winning Slots.

1. I happened to see this book at my friend's house but didn't finish the book. So, I went home and ordered it online. After finished reading this book, I must tell you that I'd gained a lot more confidence in winning more money. Last week, I went to Las Vegas with my family, and it DID pay off. Not all the tips and secrets in the book applied, yet I managed to win more money than I'd ever done before. Take it from me, I don't like reading much, but I got to admit that this book is pretty easy to read. Better yet, you can just skip to any chapter you're interested in right away.



2. After living in Las Vegas, and Reno for over 20 years, I've seen tons of people write about secrets to winning at slots. About 95 percent are completely worthless. This book does not tell you where to win or how. Most of his "Tips" are a lot of junk, mostly common sense. If a machine isn't hitting after you hit the button fifty times, the chances that it will are slim. Mr. Cardoza never gives any real, solid winning advice through the whole book. If you've never in you life played a slot read the book. It is good for people who don't know anything about slots. If you have played slots, don't waste your money on this book. Understand that Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, Laughlin, and others are built on SLOTS not the table games, not the pricey shows, SLOTS. Casinos in Las Vegas make about 50-75% of their revenue on the SLOTS. Keep that in mind when you go. I love playing the slots, and I have won several thousand dollars, but not by employing anything in this book. Use the money you want to spend on this book and get a book on Black Jack and Poker. Which incidentally are the best paying games in the casino. Problem is they take a long time to master, but the pay off is much greater.

1. Id love to except I have been waiting since December 14th for my order and there is no end in sight. Today, March 11, Amazon requested another delay until May 3. Please Amazonians just tell me if you're never going to get this book and I'll buy it used.
   
   PS. I heard it's great!!!!

2 comments about Big Book of Slots.

1. The Big Book of Slots and Video Poker is a no-nonsense approach to setting a gambling budget and managing expectations. Explanations of the price of fun make it easy to make choices before you go to the casino.



2. I really don't think the book was helpful at all. The information was very repetitious and outdated. Would not recommend at all!

5 comments about How to Win Millions Playing Slot Machines!: ...Or Lose Trying (Scoblete Get-the-Edge Guide).

1. I waited so long for this book. And when I finally got it, I couldn't be any more disappointed.
   First of all, I search on the net for books on this suject. Frank Scoblete's came out as some of the best books on the subject. And this book was on printing but not released yet. I thought "...even better, I am going to get the latest advise..." When I got the book, I found that Scoblete only wrote the Foreword.
   The book reminds me one of those yellow Idiot Guides to___ books. Joking around, instead being serious and to the point. And even those guides, after all, give you good information.
   There is not any advise that would help to play better at slot machines. Not even information about what machines are better, how to play then, no strategies. Nothing. Just stories of Legato's experience in different casinos in different towns.
   Do not waste your money!!!!!



2. The good news about this book is that it does provide the reader with some good insight about slot machines. The bad news is that the information it contains would fit inside a pamphlet and the rest of the book is filled with lame jokes and enough cliched one liners to fill a dozen cancelled sit-coms.



3. Warning! This guy could be Michael Moore's roommate. Everything about it was a waste of time and not to mention the money. What kind of desperate loser writes a book about playing slot machines to expound tired liberal beliefs. Worse, the slot information is in rehashed "duh" territory you can find anywhere. All things considered, this could be the worst book ever written about slot playing in the history of gaming. Reading and realizing you spent money for this book is akin to watching your last coin hit two red sevens and a blank.



4. My wife bought me this book as a birthday gift. And what a gift.
   It's a delightful combination of gambling information and fun.
   I laughed from start to finish.
   
   The book revealed a number of insider secrets about today's casino operations and the revolution in traditional reel-spinning and multiline video games. Especially interesting
   was the author's revelation about "loose" slots. What a
   "loose" slot really is.
   
   The author's account of his slot-themed road trip through
   the United States made enjoyable bedside reading. Especially
   after a hard day's play at the slots.
   
   If you enjoy a good laugh and wish to learn the absolute latest
   about today's casinos and their new generation of slot machines,
   this definitely is the book for you.



5. A most enjoyable read. Mr. Scoblete tells you how it is for slot players and you'll smile or laugh out loud while reading his book.....a lot, as a matter of fact. He makes knowing you're probably gonna lose a bit more enjoyable.

5 comments about The Slot Machine Answer Book: How They Work, How They'Ve Changed and How to Overcome the House Advantage.

1. I agree with Karl from New York that this and Scoblette's Break the One-Armed Bandits are the two best slot books on the market. I've read just about all the slots books so I know. What sets Grockowski and Scoblette apart is the fact that these writers can write. They are professional writers who know how to interest a reader. The information is accurate, the anecdotes fun and informative. Grockowski's book is filled with insights and stories. I love the way he tests your knowledge before he answers and elaborates on his information. His other book, The Casino Answer Book, is also a very fine book. I read that about a year ago. In a field, gambling writing, where semi-literates have dominated over the years, it is refreshing to have some good writers appear.



2. Book informed me of a few things I wasn't aware of but didn't much cover the small Indian casinos prevalent in our area which is all we play in. Would possible be O.K. for anyone that travels around some.



3. The way that this book is set up is that the author gives you a series of questions, and then the answers. Personally I did not care for this format. Part of the problem is that by the time you get to the answers, it is easy to have forgotten the exact wording of the questions. I think that it is ok to have a quiz after the information is presented, like some of the Dummies and Idiots books might do, but I did not care for the quiz first format. If you know NOTHING about slots, this is not a good first book to read.

   Some of the chapters were more interesting than others, and more useful. I did not really care for some of the chapters about the different manufacturers of the machines, and thought that it was pretty difficult to take a quiz on this information.

   Many of the themes are repeated over and over, such as how the machine is random. Sometimes this becomes a dead horse that is beaten. I know there are a lot of misconceptions about slot machines, so maybe this is neccessary.

   Overall a good book, but I preferred Break the one-armed bandits better. Perhaps that is because I read "Break" first, and it was such a ground breaker. This book even quotes "Break" a few times.




4. I have to disagree with the previous reviewer ... a book doesn't get any easier to follow than this one. The start of each answer paraphrases the question. You can easily browse through, reading the answers as a series of essays on slots, without ever taking the quizzes. To me, breaking down the volume of information into short, digestible essays makes this one of the most user-friendly books on slots around. It goes beyond Break the One-Armed Bandits with information on video slots and slot clubs. Definitely a must for slot players.



5. i spent 10 bucks for the book read it i made $660 the first time playing slots.......i say i made my money back....$660 stars,,,,

1 comments about Slot Operations the Myth and the Math.

1. Slot Operations gives a good overview of the slot operations and sample polices and procedures. However, the information is somewhat dated and does not deal with TITO (Ticket In - Ticket Out) which is now used in place of coin in most casinos, multi-denomination, and multi-game machines. Still I haven't found a better book on the subject.

4 comments about Powerful Profits From Slots.

1. No other book tells the real story of what the modern slot machine actually is. All modern slots are computers. Other books talk about the Random Number Generator as the "mechanism" by which the slot machine program "picks" the winning events. No other book, however, tells the reader what the RNG actually is, and how it really works, and why this is important. No other book actually shows the inner workings of the modern slot machine, because no other author has been allowed to publish this information. Royer's book is the ONLY book that tells the truth of the reality of the slot machines, including video slots, and how and why they work the way they do, and how to play them to win. This information is EXCLUSIVE to Royer, and to this book.

   Royer also shows the reader which are the best slots, and why, as well as how to find them in the actual casino, and how to exploit them for profits. Because of Royer's "insider" knowledge of not just the slots themselves, but also of the casino's slot mix floorplans and marketing strategies, Royer is able to show the reader precisely what to look for in the casinos to find just precisely where the really good slots are, and why they are there. Royer also explains where the "bad" slots are, and why they are placed there. Royer shows the reader how to tell the good from the bad, and how to make this knowledge pay.




2. This book is the most informative and straight forward of all the slot gambling books I have read. There seems to be an assumption that the reader already has the basics down and if you do you will benefit from this book. I thought I knew a lot until I read this book. I would not recommend it for rank
   beginners.



3. The "powerful profits" are made to the author when you buy this book. This book will not help you in any way, unless you have never been to a casino in your life.

   Some people just don't get the point. For whatever strange reason, there are people who think that you should be able to "quit your day job" and go playing slots. In this book, the author makes it plain that slots are machines whose programs provide for a steady house edge. Therefore, mathematically, no slot machine can be played in a manner that would always assure the player of a profit. However, the author also makes it clear that there are "methods", as opposed to "systems", that the knowledgeable, educated, and smart player can use to help win on those slots that offer the best paybacks and winning opportunities. And, he identifies which they are, and shows you how to find them!
   
   There is also a big difference between something called a "system" and a "method". The author here in this book makes it abundantly clear what this difference is, and why it is so. In simple terms, a "system" is usually something that will supposedly 'guarantee' you a steady win, mostly on negative-expectation games. This is NOT what the author is offering in this book. Instead, the author makes it very plain that the "methods" he offers are those that are based on sound understanding of the slots, their programs, and the skills and knowledge necessary to take advantage of the opportunities some -- but not all -- of these slots offer. Alongside this advice, the author also makes it plain that none of his "methods" are somehow 'guarantees', but rather guidelines to help the slot players improve their results, lose less, and win more.
   
   This book is full of great advice, and much wisdom. The author has gone to great lengths to unmask the realities of what slots are, and how they really work. He has also put decades of his personal experiences behind the recommendations and advice he offers. Several times he makes it clear that he is NOT offering "systems", but rather the knowledge that smart players can use to help themselves become better players.
   
   It is the application of this knowledge to the information the author offers about slots that makes this book essential reading for anyone interested in playing better, losing less, and winning more and more often.

5 comments about Slot Smarts: Winning Strategies at the Slot Machine.

1. As we say in the Old Country, this one's a "corker," a real pick-me-up and put-down "read". Good for browsing which is about all travelling slotters like me get to do en route to the next tournament. The author had won me over well before I got to his piece on slot tournaments. Beats me why others haven't woken up to that lure yet. Best of all worlds! Fun galore and somebody in the group is always guaranteed to take out the big money. Makes sense to me but then most of this book does, and for old pros like me too. After some of the junk put out by "experts" on one-armed bandits, this book sticks to reality. We all need a game plan before the money goes in AND we all need to stick to it. That makes real sense.



2. I read this short book in one night. The strategies for playing the machines are well documented and easy to follow. My only complaint is too much time repeating the basics of limiting your gambling to money you can afford to lose and limiting your expectations for profit--we all know that I hope. But I'm going to try the strategies on my next trip to the casinos and I'll let you know if they work then...



3. This book would have received higher "stars", however, the author is too moralistic in preaching on the perils of slot playing. There is too much information in this book that the average slot player is already aware of. The book was disappointing from this stand point. I did use the author's spreadsheet to enable better tracking for my future slot sessions. Frankly, the book is overpriced for the knowledge gleaned.



4. I'd like to start out by thanking the author. I've been a gambler for several years, but not a very smart one. I used the - Green Plan - on quarters and it worked for me. I made a profit late in the afternoon. Had I been playing 3 quarters all along, I would have run out of money hours earlier. I'm anxious to study up on the other work plans and put them to the test.

   It was a new feeling for me that I was in control of the outcome much more than ever before. I recommend it for the gambler that likes to go often, but can't afford it if they lose. This way, you win a little or lose a little, and can afford to keep visiting the casino.

   It sure beats some of my previous strategies, like rabbits feet, wearing red and walking around an oak tree during the full moon.

   Thank you, Claude.




5. There is good advice on how not to lose your money. I pretty much do what the man says anyways.I went to an Indian Casino and won a little like I always do,but am anxious to try out the machines he tells of in Atlantic City in April.I think the Indian Casino's aren't set up the same as the others.Like he says it is work to win and I always do,but only win between $100.00 and $400.00 which is good for me.Read the book if this is your first time at a Casino and playing slots.

5 comments about Break the One-Armed Bandits.

1. I laughed so hard at certain chapters in this book that my sides hurt. I also learned a great deal about how the slots work and their history. There are some excellent strategies in this book as well. Definitely a book worth buying.



2. I have read just about every book on slots but I resisted buying this one because I thought the information would be old and stale. Now having read it I have to agree with other reviewers that just about all slot books "borrow" heavily from Scoblete's work and are nowhere near as comprehensive. The book is a masterpiece of research and it is well written and extremely fun to read. I recommend this as the first and only slot stop you'll need before you try your hand at the one-armed bandits.



3. I am not crazy about playing slots--but to get free room at the Venetian (LV) I need to put in hours each day, each visit. The Scoblete book is the most informative overall I've read so far on a subject where random chance is the rule. The chapter about which slots are loose was probably good advice--but people don't hear coins falling into the hopper any more--coins have been replaced with paper receipts. Paper payoffs also skew the advice in that excellent chapter on money management. These days most people deposit bills, not coins, into the slot machine and there is no bucket of coins to use or to reserve. Mr. Scoblete needs to revise this book. If he still gambles, I'm sure his well-thought 1994 guidelines would benefit from updating. I would be first on line to buy the new book. The organization and research of "One-Armed Bandit" are outstanding.



4. I found this to be extremely interesting reading, as well as entertaining and informative. I don't think any of the tips and tricks in ANY slot machine book will apply at "Indian Reservation" casinos, but this book is a must read for any fan of Jersey, Vegas, Mississippi, or other non-reservation casinos.



5. I bought this book few days ago. I finished reading in a day. This book spent most of the time telling stories about gamblers but not the method to win a jackpot. The author does not have much experience in playing jackpot machine, he merely did some interview with real gamblers and casino employee. There is no pictures, no facts or figure to illustrate. In my opinion, It can only be consider as a easy to read book on jackpot. Do not expect to win anything after reading it.
