\"\"Progressive slots are among the most-random games in the casino. Nevertheless, there are still times when you can gain a progressive slots advantage.<\/p>\n

You can’t count on these advantages as much as card counting or similar techniques.<\/p>\n

But you can still try to make long-term profits with the following three methods.<\/p>\n

1. Play When the Jackpot Has Grown Considerably<\/h2>\n

A game provider seeds a progressive slot machine with its initial starting jackpot. For example, the gamemaker may fund the jackpot with $10,000.<\/p>\n

The top prize then grows based on how many players gamble on the game. This means that the original $10k value and could go up to $100,000 or higher.<\/p>\n

You can actually gain a long-term edge when you play a slot after its jackpot has grown so far. For example, the game’s payback might be offering over 100% return to player (RTP) when its jackpot is worth $1 million.<\/p>\n

You can then jump on the game and start playing to take advantage of positive expected value (+EV). This by no means guarantees that you’ll win long-term profits, but you at least have a theoretical advantage edge.<\/p>\n

2. Play Mystery Progressive Slots<\/h2>\n

\"\"Mystery progressive slot machines pay their jackpots automatically at a certain value. For instance, one of these games might pay their jackpot at exactly $100.<\/p>\n

You can therefore walk around the casino and look for mystery progressive jackpots that are close to their triggering value.<\/p>\n

For example, you can play the game mentioned above when its jackpot is at $90. You then only have to play until contributing the remaining $10, at which point the jackpot will be unlocked.<\/p>\n

3. Play Banking Slots<\/h2>\n

Banking slots feature a bonus meter that rises as you collect special scatter symbols. But once you have enough of these symbols, the meter reaches the top and pays a bonus.<\/p>\n

You gain an edge on banking slots by playing them when the meter is almost full. This makes the biggest skill spotting banking slot machines with a nearly full meter.<\/p>\n

The biggest drawback to this progressive slots advantage play method is that there aren’t many banking machines left in Las Vegas. But you can still find some at a few Vegas casinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
