Customer Reviews

Lund is one of the rare authors who does not sell snake oil

Most people play slot machines for "entertainment". If that's you, you will not appreciate Lund's insights. To play the way Lund suggests is often not enjoyable. It involves stalking machines and their players waiting for them to leave machines in disadvantageous states, then pouncing on them before other similer-minded players do. But I can't emphasize this enough...it is THE ONLY way to beat slot machines in the long run. All the other books will tell you is how to lose less and have a more enjoyable experience with occasional wins. Lund only considers a certain type of slot (Bankable) because they are the only machines that can be beat. If your goal is to find a way to WIN, Lund's books are your best chance. Unfortunately, slot machines change quickly, making some of the information in the book obsolete. Also, Lund assumes that you are playing these games in a competitive location like LV, where payouts are good. To win in less competitive venues like Indian casinos and the midwest, you may have to be more particular than Lund is.

"BANKING" IT IN!

I've just arrived to the casino and the palms Of my hands are slightly moist with anticipation. Which machine do I choose tonight. Hmmm? All games require a strategy, a game plan. Without one the chances of losing are great. When I purchased this book I was plesantly surprised. I don't gamble often but Robbing the One Armed Bandits was informative, easy to understand, and generally interesting. There are many slot machines out there to play but the question is which one, where, and when will it pay out?Although the book concentrates on Banking slots, the methodology in choosing a winning machine is well thought out. Like any game having knowledge is to your advantage. This book helps you to learn a strategy, which increases your chances of winning. If you are interested in learning a comprehensive method to win against Banking Slot machines then this book is definently the one to get. Since reading this book I am not as bewildered when I enter the casino. I feel armed and ready. I'm Banking it In!

You can actually win at slots

The truth is that you can only win at the slots dictated byMr. Lund. There are no other strategies for non-banking slot machines because they are unbeatable. Lund actually gives the player at certain types of slot machines if you play by the rules given. Apparently having to "think about it" is too much for the reviewer below me, but personally I am excited at the opportuntiy to play slots that can be beaten.On the negative side, Lund doesn't do a great job of explaining his methods, and although I know that his analysis of machines accurately predicts the ones that can be beaten, he needs to do more research to get a greater exactitude. The good news is that he frequently publishes a supplement to this book in order to keep it up to date.
