Victor Royer has once again written a book that will help you be able to make educated gaming decisions in the casino. Do not plan on playing the newest video slots without reading this book, as they are dominating the casino floor. Better yet buy his other two slot books as well and come fully prepared. Mr Royer shows the latest machines and how to play them to your advantage. This helps you to pick games that offer you a better chance to win while walking away from those that don't, making your bankroll last longer.I can personally tell you I felt more confident walking into the casino after reading his books. I go home a winner more often than I use to and I know what games I should be playing, and which I should walk, if not run away from. It is a fun and educational read and I recomend his books to everyone looking to spend their hard earned money on casino entertainment. An educated gambler is what the casinos do not want, this and his other books give you that education.

I have been a long time follower of Mr. Royer's publications on the sport of gambling and, quite frankly, have received some very nice wins due largely to his gambling information prowess. This latest book on Casino slots walks you through the evolution of the Aristocrat gaming machines to present day and I found it to be quite informative. I intend to use Mr. Royer's keen insight on the various ways to play these machines on my next trip to Las Vegas. I highly recommend purchasing this tool for slot gambling.

For anyone who likes modern slot machines -- or is interested in finding out more about them -- this is the book for you. Especially if you don't know how they work, and what to expect. The author focuses on Aristocrat slots specifically, because they are the machines and games that are currently the most popular in major casinos -- and especially in Indian casinos, and the casinos outside of Las Vegas. And even in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City -- or anywhere for that matter -- these are the kinds of slots that are the most played, and most requested by players.

In this book -- and for the only time anywhere as far as I can tell from reading other books on slots -- the author shows the starting values for progressives, and also -- which is a real treat -- how much they grow to before they are hit. Games like Beat The Bandits, for example, have this profile.

There is also a section on what is meant by the various terminology on the modern slot machines, and what this means. For example, did you know what a Power Pay machine is? Or why it's called that? Or what it means to your playing money? Well, in this case, this means that the machine has an added wager -- a side-bet of sorts -- that allows for more wins, and more bonuses. And there are many other such helpful hints as well.

There is also a section on what are the Stand Alone Progressives, Double and Triple, and what this means. Also what is meant by a local link, or a bank, or a multi-link progressive, and what this means, how much it costs, and what you can reasonably expect to hit -- and how often.

There are profiles of games most of us who play slots already know -- such as Mr. Cashman, JAWS, and so on, but here you learn what kind of differences there are between these games, and how they play differently in these various ways.

And then there are other games, new games, such as The Sopranos, Jeff Foxworthy, Jackpot Manor, Banana King, Chicken 2, Kentucky Derby, Hit The Heights, and many many others. All of them described in detail, with instructions on how to play, and what is good, and which way to play them to your best advantage.

Some of these games also have a story that the author tells. Sometimes it's a historical references, such as with Pompeii or The Shield, and sometimes it's the author's own story, like the one about Hit The Heights and Bob Stupak's tower in Las Vegas and The Sky's The Limit.

It's a great read, and I like it. You will too, I'm sure. So now I'm off to the casino again. Maybe today is the time for my jackpot.

I suppose I should have read the description from Amazon. It even says `In This Book You Will Find * More than 100 photos of the newest and best slots. * How to find the best games and machines. * How to play the newest slots-before using your own money.' And that is all it will do. No strategy other than `play maximum.' If you're wanting a book the goes on endlessly about the history of slots, the newer slot machines available now, what they look like, how many reels you can play on them, then you'll enjoy the book. But if you're looking for ideas on strategies that MIGHT improve your chances of making your money last longer, then there are much better books available. Two that immediately come to mind are Smart Slot Strategies: A Mathematical approach to winning slot machine strategies by John W. Crockett and Mike's Guide to Better Slot Play by M. J. Veaudry. Save your money and pass on this book.

I didn't realize that Victor Troyer had turned into a shill for Aristocrat. I have read Victor's articles for years and thought that he was pretty knowledgeable about slot but this book is nothing but a commercial for Aristocrat slots. There no tips to winning in the entire book unless you can call bet maximum a tip. Save your moen and your time and don't buy this book.

If you are thinking or now playing video slots you would definitely increase your chances of winning by reading this book. Also, learning about which machines are best to play, this book is tops. It will provide info which would be an enormous task to do on your own. Since just published, it will bring you up to date on all the newest machines, best to play, and ones to avoid.
When i started playing slots, (in my 3rd year) i bought Mr. Royers other book "powerful profits from slots" and cannot stress enough that if one wants to play intelligently and have the best chance to win, it is a must read. This book will keep you away from bad machines, educate you on what to look for, and has a money management section, which he calls "The big secret" which will show you how to take some of the winnings home with you, which i can say after 2+ years is a problem with most. The first 2 years of playing slots have been profitable. (this year so far the casino's have a small lead on me) Lucky ?? Absolutely, positively, but i can say that this book gave me the knowledge and confidence to get there. (when i speak to players in the casino i never tell them about my good fortune as they would not believe me anyway) An easy read, loaded with info, cannot say enough about it.
