With the overall expansion of gaming in most states, the reality of wins versus losses has become a reality of everyday life. Long gone are the days you would have to travel across the country to one of the resort and vacation towns to do your gambling. Most cities in the country have adopted some sort of gaming regulation in the hopes of finding their way to the taxes and revenue that come from the world of gambling. Just like those cities, hundreds of people a day flock to the local gaming lounges, bars, and casinos hoping for that to be their lucky day. But, was it? The reality of gambling is that the house is always favored to win. That's just simple business when it comes to the gaming industry.

There are some tips and tricks that any gambler is going to tell you will work in their favor and of course, some of those tips actually do work to increase the odds of the gambler. Gambling is one of those things that has proven to be a growth industry in the state of Illinois, which is where I live, so I'll be talking about my experience there and in surrounding areas. Now, onto those tips.

Big City Fives

The Big City Fives game is not that different than any other game out there. It works relatively the same. Different patterns in the game payout to the winner. The Big City Fives just happens to be a progressive game and in the smaller gaming facilities such as the bars and lounges, maxes out at $1199.00 on a $2.00 bet. That's not a bad return if you can get it to pay that but there are multiple levels of payout possible and you have to have five of any symbol in a pattern or row, with the possibility of a wild helping you out during the fever games. So, how would you raise your odds of winning with the Big City Fives?

Understanding the game is key. The first thing I do when I am deciding whether to play or not is to look at the jackpots listed. Starting first with the highest and then with the lowest. The lower jackpots are Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. It's not unusual at all to see these hit over a hundred dollars. If you see this then it's a good sign. Looking at the upper-level jackpots, Gold Bar, Silver Bar, Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades, the more jackpots that are already at max or close then the better your odds of hitting at least multiple middle to upper-level jackpots.

In case you're wondering, both of the photos you've seen so far are from one day and from the same game, just two different locations.

There are certain times that I maintain, within a certain amount of certainty, are better to play than others. Now, I don't want to come off overly mercenary about it, but if you can win by paying attention, then why shouldn't you. Right now, with all of the stimulus money being distributed all over the country, much to my surprise, gaming is seeing a three hundred percent increase. This means the money is flowing ladies and gentlemen so it's time to venture out and get you some. Both of these hits happened on a Monday following a busy weekend in the slot joints in my area. Both of these wins happened within my first two hours of play and before I'd taken my third $20.00 out of my pocket. In my area, the best times to play are from October thru April and from the first of the month thru the fifteenth. After that, I'd suggest slowing down.

Being a relatively small town it's not hard to drive by and tell when the businesses are at their busiest. Waiting until they've cleared out, is the functional equivalent of the lurker at a Vegas casino. You know the ones, they wait and just mull around the gaming floor, looking for that person that is stocking the machine fully and then gets up before the big hit. So, if you're in a small town or frequently pass by your favorite gaming lounge or spot you enjoy an afternoon escape, pay attention to the crowds. Talking to the employees will give you a feel for the level of play going on before you and you can even get tips on what machines have been busy and not paid versus the machines that someone..."Came in earlier and nailed it."

Biergarden

Heidi's Biergarden is one of the most popular games out there today and with good reason. The game has the capacity for huge hits.

Play responsibly but if you see a Biergarden game and have the funds definitely give it a try. Both of the above were hits that I was fortunate enough to see on the same day. As you can see, by studying the games, studying gaming a little bit, and paying attention to things like gaming patterns, business patterns, and how the games work, it's entirely possible to up the odds in your favor. I've walked into places with as little as fifty dollars and used what I've learned to find a game that has better odds of paying and I've walked in and played a couple of hundred dollars to find the games that pay into the four figures. The best hit locally I've ever had was over $3800.00 and the best casino hit I've had on a machine is over $25,000.00 dollars. If you want to win like that and enjoy the casino or gaming atmosphere that comes with a night of playing the machines, there four tips I follow.

1. Pay Attention To Progressive Jackpots

2. Look For The Popular Games

3. Find The Pattern Between Busiest and Slow Times In The Business

4. When You Hit Big, Move To Another Machine Or Go Home!

By the way, the above images are from the same day on four different machines. Good luck ladies and gentlemen, play on!

    I think you should recommend me a good online casino, because I'm not good at it, but I'd like to try it. Or even a bookmaker for bets.
