As a senior citizen, and a penny slot player, how much should I be wagering per spin?
Mel G. As a budget-minded gambler, Mel, you have plenty of betting flexibility in the number of lines and number of coins per line you can bet when playing penny slots. Yet be forewarned. Penny slots are big money makers for casinos. They tend to get a lot of play because penny-wise players like you enjoy playing them, but they also tend to have relatively low paybacks. Being a prudent player, you need to comprehend base denomination. Penny machines should be just that, penny machines. Not a buck” target=”PZ”>buck a spin when betting ten pennies a line times ten lines. Because many players are betting the max per line, the average bet on these machines has skyrocketed, yet the low paybacks remain the same. The penny-pinching method I recommend is to bet one coin per line on each line on a penny slot. From that thrifty level of play, if you get hot, bet a little more. When your luck turns south, drop back to one coin per line. Dear Mark: Besides looking for the best pay tables available
