How To Practice For A Slot Tournament
The machines in the slot tournaments are specially prgrammed ones, programmed to hit. You don't win money, it's points. Whoever has the most points at the end of three sessions gets the prize. They usually pay money as prizes but also give over half of the winners free play instead of cash. At the tournament I played, the top 3 each had over. Slot Tournaments are fast-paced; it is essential to remember that you cannot stop spinning the reels. Ditch the distractions and stay focused. When a break is given rest and use the time to check how far up you are on the scoreboard. You will need all the energy you can get to win big. Hit the button as fast as you can. With many slot tournaments, like the $5,000 Tuesday Lucky Slot.

Before you enter any slot machine tournament it is important to understand how they work. While there are a lot of variations the basic principals remain the same for most tournaments both offline and online. In this article we discus the basics such as how to enter tournaments, how.
Are these slots just regular slot machines or are they set to be + tournament credits EV?
If they're not set to be +TCEV, isn't the best strategy to just not spin at all? Obviously people will 'get lucky' and beat the starting stack most of the time, but in a -TCEV game, wouldn't not playing have an advantage, since I would think all 99 other people would lose money in a -EV game more than 1/100 times?
Thanks,
So, yeah, the typical 'strategy' is to mindlessly whack the spin button.

Personally, I think the 'correct' strategy is to stop whacking once the reels start spinning, then start again after the second reel stops. That will keep you from getting tired too soon, so maybe you'll be able to get in more spins....

I agree with the above poster, they usually are machines that pay over 100% on tournament mode. Also, most tournaments I've seen determine a winner by win amount, not bankroll amount. In other words, in a tournament it costs 0 to spin. So for these types of tournaments, your question is moot. The best strategy is to squeeze in as many spins as you can, if there is a timer, otherwise, just spin out all your credits at your own pace.
But, in the case of a tournament where it is the bankroll that counts, you might find yourself playing on machines that pay back less than 100%. If you consider only expected values, then you would be correct in saying that the best EV strategy would be to not spin at all. And this would be a great strategy if you were competing against a small number of people. However, for your average, 100+ participant tournament, you give yourself almost no chance of winning if you don't spin. Even with machines that payback 80%, with 100 participants, the odds of you winning by spinning is much more than the odds of everyone else falling below their initial starting bankroll amount.

So where can I find a machine that was inadvertently left in tournament mode?Would it be legal to put a home-made button-pushing rig on the machine? You could play on several at one time ;)
They're not that dumb. One person, one machine, no devices.

Ditto. They're not that dumb. The machines would be in a back room, under wraps, until the next tourney.I don't think they even have a bill or coin acceptor mechanism.

Ok. But it would also spare you from repetitive stress injuries to the wrist and shoulder.Perhaps we can get someone with arthritis to sue? :P

I once saw some people who had jimmied a book of matches in the spin button on the slot, so the machine just kept spinning on its own after each spin completed. It was quite humorous to watch. When the machine ran out of credits they would load more cash in and start over again.
To me, it doesn't really sound like it would make that much of a difference. But I don't particularly like or understand slot machines, so it doesn't surprise me that I don't understand it. :)
The flip side is that my mom took 2nd place in a video poker tournament, and won some money in a slot tournament, and she doesn't really understand that prime moment of pushing the button either. She uses that fact to make fun of her boyfriend and his 'prime' understanding.
The only 'strategy' that he talks about is the timing of pushing the button.
The 'prime' moment is the instant that it will recognize that it's been hit. In this way, you can get more spins than other players. That's the key.Your mom did better than him? Good for her. She was also playing VP, where you have to stop and think, and not mindlessly press the button at the 'prime moment'.
