MacIntyre Symms offers important lessons, including: -How can you choose the North American casino with the best chance of paying off? -How do you decide whether to stick with the machine you are playing or move to a new machine? -How is slot machine strategy affected by casino innovations such as the progressive jackpot and multiple-coin machines? Along with helpful tips on how to win and win big, Symms also briefly offers slot machine history, a quick course in how to manage your money, and some of the wacky things to expect should you win the big jackpot.
I personally enjoyed this book, which I borrowed from the library. The part that I enjoyed the most, were the case studies near the end of the book, which described several types of slot players, and the common mistakes that they made, and how they overcame them. One case study was about a guy who won 2 million dollars playing 10 dollar slots, and continued to play after he had won. That was really interesting. There might not be much new in this book, as another reviewer mentioned, but playing slots is not as complicated as other casino games. This book is to the point, and drills home good ideas and strategies like the title suggests.
