Maximum Coin Play

March 4, 2008

It seems like everyone who gives out advice on slots tells people to make sure they are playing the maximum coins. Of course it seems like people are only pushing you to play more money, thus putting more of your bankroll at stake in order to get you to lose and out the door quicker. However, Mark Pilarski gives his advice on why this is a good idea.

For almost all multiple-pay and multiple-play machines, the maximum coin line tends to yield a better percentage payback. Note on the paytable the proportional difference in the size of your payoff. Example: One coin inserted pays 500 coins; two coins: 1000 coins; three coins: 4000 returned. You clean up when that third coin is played. Play fewer coins and the casino advantage rockets north. That is why esteemed sources, and myself in the past, (love that! Good company…) suggest playing the maximum coins allowed to yield a better payback percentage. If playing the maximum amount happens to be a budget buster, those same esteemed sources and Yours Truly will also recommend switching to a lower denomination machine. Can’t hack playing $3 a yank? …play 75¢ instead.

There are, however, a few machines that do return 500 for one coin inserted, 1,000 for two coins, and 1,500 for three coins. If you happen to come across this sort of proportional paytable, you wouldn’t need to play the maximum amount of coins to get full value from this machine.
