Slot Play : Build Your Own Jackpot! [Paperback]

Carlene Cole (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 1999

SLOTPLAY contains five separate tools for success at the slots. 1. The Build Your Own Jackpot section shows the player how to build a long-term savings account, using the same dollars that are used to play the slots. A workbook provides an easy step by step guide to success. 2. The Create a Permanent Bankroll section provides an alternative money plan. It shows how to build and operate a permanent fund to draw on for casino action. It keeps your slot money safe from other money demands, and your other money safe from casino activities. 3. The Power in the Payboard section shows you how to select a slot machine, what coin level you should play at for your bankroll, and how to choose a jackpot level that increases your chance of winning. 4. The six slot machine payboards most favored by the author's research are printed on Pocket Payboard Cards for the player to refer to in the casino when he is looking for good slots to play. 5. Three playing strategies are offered, each with win targets, loss limits, selection strategies and exit strategies.

Review

Casinos pay back 90 to 97% of the coins people play in slot machines. Did You Get Your Share? If you want to bring slot money home, this book is for you! The author shows you how to: Build a great savings account with the same money you use to play slots. Bring home money. Every time. Even without a casino Jackpot! Choose the right slots for your bankroll. Know what to do when you're winning. Know what to do when you're losing. Develop winning slot play strategies. -- From the Publisher

I really like the workbooks! Ive read a couple of other slot play books, but I had trouble putting my own plan together. With this book, I just followed the workbook directions. At the end I had my own personal slot play plan and was ready for the casinos. -- John Kerrigan Computer Analyst; Interviewed at Silver Legacy, Reno,Nevada

Send more books! Im SOLD OUT and BACK-ORDERED. People love your book. My readers want more! -- Peter Ruchman, Editor, Gamblers Book shop, Las Vegas, Nevada Publisher of more than 125 gaming books

Those pocket payboard cards are great! Instead of mumbling and bumbling around, I move right through the casino. Finding the slots I want is easy now. -- Rebecca Laschober, Language Translator; Interviewed at Harrahs,Las Vegas,Nevada

From the Publisher

I was browsing through nine hundred gaming titles in Gamblers Book Shop in Las Vegas, looking for a good gaming book to publish. This is the one I chose.

Why did I select this book?

It is well written, with clear concepts and detailed instructions.There is no empty fluff and no unrealistic promise. Just solid useful content.The author demonstrates a strong knowledge about slots, and a solid financial background.The process is easy to understand. A workbook makes it easy for players to use the material.A good scattering of cartoons provides comic relief.

I contacted the author and we published SLOT PLAY: BUILD YOUR OWN JACKPOT in May, 1999.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a concept!Saving money & playing the slots. Amazing, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Slot Play : Build Your Own Jackpot! (Paperback)

How delightfully ironic, the thought of saving money at the same time I am planning my next trip to the casino. Ms. Cole has some great tips and she presents them clearly, spiced with a real sense of humor. I can't wait to take my new Slot Play concepts with me on my next encounter with the one armed bandits. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Ms. Cole's next creative gem.

This review is from: Slot Play : Build Your Own Jackpot! (Paperback)

I'm writing this review a year after buying this book.

Let me begin by saying, I have a hard time saving money unless I have a goal. In this case my goal was 4 trips to Vegas over a year's time. I not only made my savings goals, but then got to play with it. Brought my winnings back with me and ended up with over $3,000.00 in my special Jackpot savings account.

I owe this accomplishment to the book "Slotplay". The Money Management in this book gives one such a feeling of being in control. I will no longer go to Vegas saying that I will limit my losing to $xx.xx. I now say they will get no more then 15% of what I take to play with.

The book was easy to read and the concept easy to understand. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled amongst the wisdom.

I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone, especially the people tired of returning their winnings to the casinos.
