3 High-Limit Slots Tips & Tricks for Small Bankrolls

June 12, 2022 By Jon Friedl - Professor Slots

Introduction to High-Limit Slots

The three easy high-limit slots tricks I’ve outlined merely point out that the winning strategies you worked hard to uncover at the casino you frequent can be leveraged, perhaps even optimized, in the high-limit slots area with relatively little risk.

Using My 5-Spin Method in High-Limit Slots Area

One interesting pattern I’d noticed at a relatively medium-sized casino had to do with a simple observation. At this local casino, I saw that I would win once when I first sat down but not win again for some time.

This strategy is my 5-Spin Method. Using this approach, we can take advantage of a common practice found at many casinos, where they provide an initial winning taste.

The first dozen times I visited the high-limit slots area at this small, local casino, I found it odd that I would win a jackpot during the first few pushes of the button. But then, I would spend thousands of dollars without so much as another hit.

I don’t mean I wouldn’t have another taxable jackpot, but I wouldn’t win anything whatsoever. It just seemed odd. Or, put another way, it was statistically unlikely to be randomly happening so consistently and often, visit after visit after visit.

As an aside, don’t worry too much about all the money I was spending. Unbeknownst to me at the time, each $100 spent these three months earned one more entry for the drawing of a car – which I would end up winning.

Combining Two of My Strategies for More Wins

Let’s go back to the story of what I learned and how I learned it. At the time, I even struck up a conversation with one of the slot operators. In that helpful interview, I asked them when were people winning jackpots and on which machines were they doing it?

This slot attendant helpfully told me about a slots player who had recently gone from one machine to another, winning about eight total jackpots in a row in the high-limit slots area. I found this approach very intriguing, to say the least, and have since tried to employ my Win, Walk Away, Return Later strategy alongside playing each machine up to five times. By doing so, I’ve found that my annual return for this strategy alone resulted in a 150% profit over my original bankroll.

However, I’d only been using this strategy for four months since this casino opened, and felt I’d need to continue doing it for about a year to be convinced that it wasn’t temporary or due to limited data.

Today I see this as an error on my part and probably a severe loss of winnings. Winning slots strategies exist, and you can find them yourself if you can believe your own eyes.

It’s the reason my YouTube Channel has been growing so fast. Slots enthusiasts who see these things for themselves, so they Google it. And find Professor Slots explaining why it happens.

The area most people get stuck on is this: They don’t believe these strategies are possible, and it’s hard to try it. That’s how it is when you’ve already convinced yourself it’s impossible. It doesn’t help that most winning strategies are relatively new and based on the latest casino technologies that started being installed in new casinos in 2012.

I have found this combination of winning strategies to be the cheapest approach yet to slot machine gambling while resulting in the highest profit margin. Using it at my local casino required only $500 per visit and $250 in return on most visits without a taxable jackpot. But then there are the taxable jackpots won, which are more than a few of the typical jackpot winnings on high-limit slot machines.

As I’m sure you understand, a single $4,000 taxable jackpot pays for many subsequent visits. My experiences resulted in my discovery of the 5-pull method and how to best use it in conjunction with another winning strategy I knew. Next, I learned a strategy I didn’t already know.

If a Slot Machine Shows a Win, BET!

By using these known strategies, yet another approach grew out of them. It’s easy, simple, and relatively inexpensive. It’s also utterly counter-intuitive to what most slots players tell you to do. But because they feel this way is the reason why it works.

Slots players will tell you it is essential to check the machine’s last play. If it shows a winner, then, skip that machine. Don’t play it, is the general advice. I say phooey, but I’ll pull from my 5-spin method a small caveat.

My following high-limit slots trick is this: If a slot machine is showing a win, BET ONCE. However, avoid that machine if it’s been played recently.

If it will work, a slot machine showing a win needs to be idle for a while and probably hasn’t been idle if its chair is still pulled out. The chair being pulled out is a beautiful clue someone used it relatively recently.

Why does this work? Some casinos set up their slot machines to offer an initial taste, the first push of the button of a high-limit slot machine will win either a “small” jackpot worth several hundred dollars or a more massive jackpot over $1,200.

For example, I happened to be in the casino one Saturday evening to take care of some tax paperwork with winning a car the night before and noticed that one of the $100 high-limit slot machines was showing a $1,000 win. I didn’t think much of such a small jackpot, as it was not even taxable, but it was something I noticed.

When I went back to the casino the early the following day, I noticed that that same machine had the identical winning reel combination. This indicated that no one had played that machine for just over one day.

At first, I didn’t think much of it. But then, standing there continuing looking at it, I thought about my strategies. And considering it carefully, I learned something.

Previously, my strategy was not to play any slot machine if it showed a win. But what if I was winning at one push of a button on machines that hadn’t been played for some time? Was this perhaps a refinement of a known strategy?

As usual, theory metaphorically in hand, I decided to test it. I walked over to the $100 machine showing the $1,000 win, placed my player’s card along with $100 in the machine, pressed the bet button, and immediately won a $5,000 taxable jackpot.

To date, this is the only time when I’ve won any taxable jackpot on a $100-denomination slot machine. I used this strategy at the same casino and, shortly later, won $500 with a single 1-credit bet on another $100 slot machine.

Idle Machines

One loose end with using this strategy is the question of how long does a slot machine needs to be idle for it to turn into a winning slot machine via this strategy? The honest and straightforward answer: I don’t know. But consider my observations.

Get Your FREE Guide Revealing…

I’ve found more slot machines are winners with this strategy if I attend the casino on a Saturday morning (especially after a busy Friday night) or mid-afternoon on Sundays.

These are typically the most extended times when slot machines aren’t played, and being idle for some time matters. But how long does it need to be inactive, you ask? I’m still piecing together clues about this.

Another clue comes from Eric Rosenthal, from whom I have second-hand information. He knows someone he trusts from within a slots manufacturer who told him that slot machines reset whenever printing voucher.

That’s interesting. If true, it means idle means no time at all. So, that information alone may be enough to tell you how long idle is – but I don’t think so.

Get Your FREE Guide Revealing…

Why? Because I’ve seen 30 minutes work when an immediate next player did not. Other times, I’ve seen it work after being idle for hours only. Another area of uncertainty is maybe, more like probably, different casinos are set up differently.

But I have put some effort into trying to figure this out. After some thought, one week later, I went back to the casino and took handwritten notes of all the current spin reels showing on all the high-limit slot machines.

Slightly over a day later, I went back to that casino with the intent of executing the usual strategy but brought extra cash with which to push the button once on any high-limit slot machine still showing the same reel spin from the previous day.

Unfortunately, that day was a beautiful day in January with moderately high temperatures not seen in months. Somehow, for this reason, the casino and high-limit slot machine room were bustling.

Get Your FREE Guide Revealing…

I mention this because, I found that ALL slot machines had been played when checking the reel spins on each slot machine. I then played my usual strategy, and to my slight dismay, I didn’t win a single time despite four immediately prior visits where I made 50% to 60% over the bankroll I’d brought.

What I learned from this confirmation, such as it was, was that it was the wins I had seen when using my strategy of five spins then stop was occurring on idle slot machines. To be clear, I had been winning on idle slot machines.

So, during busy periods in the high-limit slot room, which isn’t necessarily the same times when the overall casino itself is active, I learned that I shouldn’t use this strategy. Not then, anyway.

All I can say is, where casinos have set up this winning strategy, winning slot machines need to be idle for a while. This bit of information may not seem like much – but it’s something once considered impossible, which evidence now suggests isn’t any longer.

As a savvy slots enthusiast, I expect you’ll make the most out of it.

Play High-Limit Slot Machines Carefully!!

The whole point of these specific strategies is that they don’t require much money to try out. Not to be too blunt about it, why wouldn’t you try out inexpensive strategies in the high-limit slots area?

I first noticed this at Seminole Brighton Casino in Florida and Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Only afterward did I think, while I’m here, why don’t I try out the winning strategies in the high-limit slots area?

Unfortunately, this idea came to me only after I left both places. But here they are for you. If you have figured out a winning slots strategy that appears to work at a casino, consider trying it in the high-limit slots area.

This suggestion is especially valid if the specific slots strategy you’ve found to work outside of the high-limit area doesn’t require much bankroll to win. If only a small bankroll is needed, or if you’re willing to risk a larger bankroll if it doesn’t, consider one way to optimize your strategy – by bringing it into the high-limit slots area. Carefully, of course.

At Seminole Brighton in Florida, these follow-up thoughts for using a working strategy on high-limit slots should work quite well there. However, at Foxwoods in Connecticut, I’d caution against this approach there.

As Dr. Mike from the You Can Bet on That podcast very well knows (I was sitting near him at the time), you can win a couple of hundred dollars on a high-limit slot machine there within the first few bets.

But the problem is, you can do the same thing on a low-limit slot machine. So, use the winning strategy I described outside the high-limit area to bet less for corresponding winnings. Your profit will be more substantial.
