• Set a budget. Make sure you stick to it.
• Choose a machine denomination within your budget.
• Use the buttons to access pay tables and information about the game.
• Insert your money. The machine tracks money as “credits”.
• Choose the number of lines as well as the number of credits, which you can use to calculate your average cost per spin.

Denomination of machine X Number of credits X Number of lines = Average cost of spin

EXAMPLE: $0.25 X 5 credits X 3 lines = $3.75

Volatility: How risky a slot machine is to play. A low volatility machine offers a lower risk with a potential lower reward while a high volatility machine offers a higher risk with a higher potential reward.
Randomness: Every slot machine contains a random number generator, which ensure that every spin is completely random and independent of previous spins.
Payback Percentage: The amount a slot machine is programmed to pay back to players over the entire lifetime of a machine. These percentages typically fall between 80-95%.
Near Miss: When winning symbols appear extremely close to a winning pay line but are not part of the winning pay line.
False Win: When the amount won on a spin is less than the amount wagered.

• There’s no calling dibs on slot machines.
• Don’t expect others to save your machine for you if you leave.
• Pushing or shaking the machine is disruptive and could cause property damage or personal injury.
• Playing multiple machines during crowded times is inconsiderate of others.
