We all know that blackjack can be beaten, right? Books have been written on the subject of card counting, entire movies have been made about intelligent men and women who are able to beat the system and walk off with absurdly large amounts of cash because they know exactly how to play the game. Roulette can also be beaten – we all remember (or at least should) that scene from “Casablanca” where Rick helps out a Bulgarian couple get their passports in order through the use of his roulette table at his casino. Hell, even bingo can be beaten – we’ve seen it time and time again! No, I don’t have a movie scene in mind for this one, but I guess the titular “Bad Grandpa” came closer than any of us ever will when it comes to beating bingo.

But did you know that slots can also be beaten? Yep, you heard me right – something as random and unpredictable, something created by design to rob you of your savings and addict you into putting every single cent into it, can be beaten into submission harder than a masochist at a BDSM party! Now, don’t get me wrong, beating slots is way harder than beating blackjack is (and that’s saying something), and there’s still a considerable amount of chance in there, but it is, regardless, entirely possible. For example, did you know that, in physical casinos, the slots placed towards the back of the casino are usually programmed to give higher payouts than the ones placed front and center? Just one little trick like that won’t possibly earn you the jackpot, but stick with me here and I’ll teach you a lot more!
