What Slots Do You Play on a Small Budget?

I asked an Executive of the Slot Machines Operation in my favorite casino here in Northern California, if he has any suggestion what slots shall I play for better chances of winning, with only $200 budgeted for about 4 hours play. Here's his answer

This is a tough question to answer. Are you a player who wants to play for a long time or someone who wants a chance to win large jackpots? Because they are really not the same type of player. If you want an opportunity to play with an advantage of skill then you should play video poker. We have some video poker machines here with a pay back over 98%. But I can’t recommend video poker without explaining that in order to win consistently you have to have a good strategy and know how to play the game. If you do then you have a level of skill that will allow you to win over 98% of the time. But video poker can be a little boring.

If you want to play just for entertainment and the excitement of taking a chance for large jackpots I would point you toward our $1.00 mechanical reel slots. They are, by far, the most popular slot machines with our players.

Conventional gaming wisdom would tell you that you should play the highest denomination game you can afford to play. And that is because the higher denomination games generally offer the best payback percentages. But with a $200 budget a high denomination game can eat through your money pretty fast if you don’t hit anything.

Do you find this advice useful? Let me know my dear readers if this information is useful. Good Day to all and remember, you only play an amount you can afford. If you are using your grocery or mortgage money to play, you are in big trouble, dear friends, male or female.

Personal Note: I like again to thank the Vice President for Slots Machines Operation of my favorite local Casino for his answers to my questions above as well as the $50 free slot play that he gave me, my wife and my neighbor yesterday when we visited the Casino. Mr. VP if you treat your clients the way you treat us we will become loyal patrons of the Casino for quite sometime. Again thanks a lot for the advice and the free play.

Joys of Retirement

I have been retired from USFDA since 2002. At first, I feel I have lost my identity as an individual or have lost my contribution to society. However, within a few weeks all these feelings were gone. It started when my wife and I started baby sitting one of our grandchildren. As some economics professor states: "Your children are your capital investments, but your grandchildren are your profits. That is why you love your grandchildren more than your children". I really agree with the statement. Retirement also gives you lots of time to do things you like to do, such as your hobbies and of course travel. In my case, I turned my hobby of gardening and landscaping into a small business in the Philippines. This endeavor was planned about five years before 2002. That year my wife and I started construction of our retirement home in Boac, Marinduque , Philippines. The next year we built a beach house, followed by a Conference Hall two years later. Needless to say, planning and executing the landscaping was a challenge and very enjoyable. With the help of local labor, I not only enjoy the time gardening and landscaping, but also help improved the economic situation of the province by providing work and jobs to the local residents. With plenty of time, I have engaged into two specific activities as follows: First, I created a website for my small business. By trial and error, I created and design the website, www.chateaudumer.com I have never been a computer nerd or expert. But with plenty of time and patience, the fruits of my labor could be enjoyed if you visit the website above. The second activity, I have not done before was to utilize on-line activities, such as shopping, paying bills ( save you stamps) and playing computer games in the Internet. I really enjoyed playing duplicate bridge on line. You play with players all over the world and can chat in between games. But be careful, you are not spending too much time in the computer. It is very addictive. With a lots of time, my wife and I devoted more time on our favorite humanitarian project. For the last 15 years, we have been involved with medical mission to the province of Marinduque. For details please visit the website: www.marinduqueinternational.org As a summary, the joy one gets on retirement is very specific for an individual. Some enjoy their free time by learning new activities, getting involved with humanitarian projects or spending more time with their grandchildren. Others hate it, since they missed their former jobs and co-workers. Others with no children still enjoy retirement by traveling, turning their hobbies into business or more community involvement. Of course those that retire and hate it, is believe to die earlier than those that enjoy their retirement years. So, plan your retirement as early as you can. The happier you are on retirement, the longer you will live.
