Slots and Slot Machines - Casino Junk Food and Mindless Fun

Slots and slot machines make a lot of noise, but if they could talk, I'm sure they'd have no problem telling you how unbelievably popular they are. Going to a casino and not playing a slot machine is similar to going to a carnival and not eating cotton candy. The bulk of a casino's revenue comes from its slot players, making slot machines far and away the most popular casino game ever.

Rows and rows of slots and slot machines cover the floor of every casino. Slot play is hypnotic and mindless and provides an escape from day to day life that for many slot players is second to none. I have a relative who will play slot machines for no money on that Hoyle Casino software just because she finds the sights and the sounds of the games so compelling. To me, the ONLY thing interesting about a slot machine is the potential to hit a jackpot.

There is no skill or strategy involved in playing a slot machine. How to play is usually obvious. And the fantasy of hitting a jackpot is the same fantasy people have when they buy a weekly lottery ticket, but it's more immediate and urgent. (You can only hit a lottery jackpot once or twice a week, but you could theoretically pull the lever on a slot machine 500 times an hour.

The popularity of slots and slot machines are phenomenal. There are ways to get more slot entertainment for your dollar, but there's really no way to become a professional slot player or gain an advantage over the house.
