HOW TO PLAY SLOT MACHINES a tutorial for beginners!

[Music] hi guys how's it going i want to tell you a story about the last time i was in vegas last month um i was sitting next to a lady who was playing a slot machine uh she stuck in her money and she started pushing buttons nothing was happening and she kind of just stared at the machine for a minute or two and finally she turned to me and she's like help me please i don't know what i'm doing and so i realized there's a segment of the population who has no clue on how slot

machines work so this is going to be a little bit of a different video uh where i try to show you how slot machines work it's a beginner's tutorial and hopefully by the end of this you'll kind of have an understanding of what to do next and i'll try and explain this as quickly as possible okay so we're going to start off with a traditional three reel slot machine now the first thing you kind of want to look for is the denomination of the slot machine so this is a one dollar slot machine which means

each credit is going to be worth one dollar so we're gonna take our money um almost all slot machines these days take cash they don't do coins anymore so you stick your money in the machine there and you'll see i have 20 credits because i stuck in a 20 bill uh so this machine has a pay line it's um that's where you'll see that one there and that pay line goes all the way across right there so the idea of any slot machine is to get matching symbols on the pay line now if you look

up this is how things are paid out so if i get one cherry on the payline and get two credits uh if i get um bars or sevens or that two times multiplier um now i have to get exactly what the picture is right there and that's how i get paid right there so uh if you look at the betting panel now it's really easy um there's a few buttons here there's bet one so that means i'm gonna bet one credit so now my bet is one credit and i'm gonna hit the spin button the

play button right here and it's gonna spin and we'll see if i get anything on the payline so that was a loser because i got blank blank and a two bar and that doesn't show up on the pay table right there so that doesn't work so that was a loser let's do one more spin here and notice all i had to do was hit the play button i didn't have to hit bet one again because my bet is already set at one there's a couple of other buttons here uh there's the max bet button so

if i hit that that's gonna do max bet and max bet on this one goes to the third credit so that means it's gonna be a three dollar spin so let's hit that next bet button and uh do that and that bet me three dollars and that was a loser as well unfortunately that happens a lot when you play slots the other buttons on here um there's a button called service right here and if i hit yes that means a slot attendant is going to come to me with whatever i need help with whether i

have a question about the game or if i need them to do something for me uh generally most people don't need that and then there's this collect button right here this is how i get my money out of the slot machine so i'm going to hit yes and now it's going to print me a ticket and this is my voucher right here and i can go to a cash out voucher which i'll show you next and that's how i get my money back now most casinos have these cash out machines here so the way this

works is you take your ticket and you stick it in here [Music] [Applause] and there's the 15 bucks and it says please touch the screen to finish your transaction and it'll dispense out my money now you can also take your ticket to a cashier cage and they'll also change it for you but that's how you get your cash i want to show you another three reel machine that has multiple lines so you'll see this has five lines right here so this is line one line two line three line four and line five so let me

stick in five bucks here and i'm gonna play all the lines so again it's a dollar machine so if i play all five lines it's gonna be a five dollar spin so i can pick my lines right here so i'm gonna do all five lines and i'm gonna do one credit per line you can do up to 15 if you do the three times five but we're doing five times one so if i get a match on any of the um lines i'll get paid let's see how it goes oh missed it on that one

too so now i'm going to show you uh what's up called a penny slot so that means each credit is worth one penny but here it says the minimum bet is 50. and the reason is is because there's 50 lines that's pretty crazy now on almost every slot machine there's going to be something that says game rule so if you get confused on how things pay out you can hit that and it'll go through all the rules here but i'm going to keep tapping it to show you the pays so this is how it pays

so you need to match three or more of all of these symbols except the tigers you need to match two or more on any of the lines and if i keep going this will show you all the lines right here so that's how all 50 lines are paid out there's a lot to look at but this if you hit game rules that will always help you out so my suggestion is when you're starting off playing slots try doing it with a minimum bet so i'm gonna do 50 cents that's my minimum bet here on this

game it goes all the way up to five dollars so i'm going to hit 50 cents um and that'll just give you give you a chance to get a feel for the slot so that was a loser so that's a winner um so you'll see line 23 there that's um that gave me the three ships and so matching three ships on one line paid me five cents do a couple more now a lot of slots have uh bonuses or features and this is uh one of those slots uh one of the bonuses if you paid

attention to the game rules is if you get six of these balls or orbs right here you'll get a special feature uh we'll do it we'll play through this five dollars and see if i can get anything else i got the ships again now that showed up on a couple of lines so line 12 and line 37 you'll see the lines flashing there and so i won 10 cents [Music] now these pandas are wild so they match any other symbol except for the ball or a bonus symbol [Music] that's a good winning spin [Music] because

all these lines matched up and that paid me two dollars and ninety cents [Music] hey got it excellent so that's the feature now so what this is called a hold and spin bonus and it just says start the feature button so i'm gonna hit play and so i get three spins now every time a ball lands it resets the spins to three so it keeps going and this mini bonus it shows you up here the mini's worth ten dollars so that's pretty good [Music] so keep going now the key on this one if you fill

the whole screen with those balls it'll pay the grand jackpot which is ten thousand dollars that would be a nice uh payday now keep in mind to get one of those big big wins that's a very hard thing to do i'm gonna be very lucky so i ran out of spins and now it's gonna pay me for everything on the screen here that's a very good win 54.50 on a 50 cent bet excellent so i always recommend anytime you're up or you've won some money let's hit that cash out button uh and take our profits

and now i'll spit out that ticket and i'll go back to the redemption machine and get my cash now one of the things i bring to a casino with me every single time is this little pocket save it's called a winner's bank and it's a little lock box and what you do is you leave the key at home and anytime you have some extra money or if you're winning on the slots you can stick the money in the winner's bank here it's going to be really hard for me to do it with one hand here

but you can tuck money away in this bank there we go and i can't access it until i get home so this is a great way to tuck away your profits and i've got a link to this bank in the description in the comments below so if you're looking to get one of these this is a very handy thing to help you walk home with money when you're playing the slots at the casino so the next kind of slot i want to show you it doesn't have lines it's considered extra real power or some slot

machines call it anyways pay um basically this doesn't have any lines at all it just uh you need to get matching symbols on consecutive reels and so for instance right here it says you need three nines to win a nickel so you need to get three nines on the consent first consecutive reels left to right and that's how that'll pay you so let's do minimum bet 40 cents until i get a win and i'll show you how that works [Music] and this happens a lot where you'll just get a bunch of losing spins in a

row [Music] well so far there has not been a match on the first three reels okay there we go so i got this these moon symbols are actually wild so they will match any other symbol on the page on the pay table but you see all the nines and then i got three of the deer and so that spin paid me four dollars and forty cents because they matched left to right we'll do another example of it so you can get another there's the jacks it's the jacks match um and it was it the pay

table shows i get a nickel per line per uh set of three of the jacks but it doubled it because there were two jacks there so that's how i got the 10 cents [Music] and let's get one more win i got the man because that's the wild so it's a dollar times two so two bucks for that one so the last thing i want to show you is my players card every casino will have a a player's card a booth where you can sign up for your players card for free and what you do is

when you are at a slot machine you can stick it in i'll show you where you stick it in and it'll trap your level of playing and how much you're betting and this is how you can earn uh what are called comps or complimentaries uh you stick it in there and it'll keep track of your slot points and you can redeem those slot points for like free hotels free food free gifts sometimes the casino will give you free slot play as well so i highly recommend signing up for one of these uh club cards before

you even start playing slot machines and that's how you can get extra freebies from the casino well i hope that helped you figure out how to play slot machines it's pretty simple and hopefully this video helped you understand some of the basic rules next time you go to vegas or a casino you'll be a bit more informed you can watch my other videos and please subscribe i've got lots of good slot machine wins on my channel and i wish you lots of luck [Music]
