I play quite often at a local Indian Casino as well as a few trips a year to Vegas and have hit some pretty nice jackpots. I play mostly dollar and quarter machines, depending on my bankroll for that session.
Last week , in Vegas I hit a blazing 7 machine at Harrahs for 1,500.00. Later that day, at the MGM Grand, I hit for 1,100.00 on a Majestic Lion dollar slot.
The night before we left, I played at Pechanga and hit a QuickHit progressive for a little over 1,000.00. I used to like to start out on the Blazing 7 quarters and if I won a few hundred bucks on that, Id move on to dollars. That has worked out for me quite well a few times. But, at the casino near my home, there arent many good quarter machines to play. The ones they do have usually have someone on them. I have found that the Blazing 7's, QuickHits and other machines that have stand alone progressive jackpots are usually my best bet. At least I can look at the jackpot and know more or less if that machine has recently payed out a huge jackpot.
