My Experience with TheSlotGuru What an experience it was. It was something that I wasnt expecting. Once he told me where we were going. I was ok with that but he didnt tell me that this was going to be a big shock of my life. Once we pulled up to the casino a valet took the car, I already knew and seen that he turned into a different person. His game face was on. I still dont know what I m in store for. It was a beautiful place, as soon as we went over to the slot machines, he pulled out his money. I could see there was something different about this when he didnt pull out $20 dollars bills; he pulled out $8000 in $100 dollar bills. He put the first $100 in and played for 5 minutes, and then to my amazement he hit twice on two different slot machines. He tried to give me as much attention as possible but he was totally focused and on a mission. He went around the casino to different slot machines, getting the lights to go off as often as he could. Lights where going off on a regular basis and there he was; WOW. The casino workers showed him so much respect. I could tell that they knew him very well and something he does a lot. I have never seen something like this before. This was my first big taste of what a professional Slot Machine Gambler is all about. I could feel the energy he was putting out and I absorbed it and use it to this day. Some people go just for fun, No! This is serious work for him, not a hobby; its a lifestyle for him. He told me You have to spend Money to make money. I slowly realized that after a little time. He had very little to do with emotion on his face. He was very intense when he was in the moment. He had the whole attention of the casino. Everybody wanted to be next to him or play the machines he was on. I noticed that when he played, he never once looked at the screen; he watches the other lights in the casino while waiting for the machine to stop. He will play seven to eight machines at one time. I was so amazed. He was there on a mission and he was going to make that mission no matter what it costs. Hes not the one to just give up. Hes a true go-getter and always stayed very respectful. He showed everybody from the other players to the attendants respect. I enjoyed my experiences with him. It was the first time I have seen anything like this and I dont think I ever will again. It was amazing to me that the lights where going off back to back at different machines multiple times. My experience with this gentleman was the onset to my career; who knew. Its amazing to find something out about a friend that you didnt know and then say; wow. I wrote this book to show you what it was like from my eyes. This is your first real step into the world of
4

a Professional Slot Machine Gambler. This adventure and lifestyle I have chosen is something most people will never experience. You are about to step into a world that only a few have traveled known as the Professional Slot Machines Players. Jena INTRODUCTION: Well, I must congratulate you on one of the most powerful decisions you will make in your life pertaining to slot machines. Now, before I get started I must tell you that every single word, phrase or thought in this book is of my own opinion! All of these ideas that may seem basic are my own thought and I m only giving you something to think about or experiment with gaming! If you decide to use any method or modes that you are about to read, it will be or you own accord. Under our terms and condition you cannot hold, affiliates my sponsors or myself liable for your bad out comes. (Thats the Gamble you assume) Please dont play with money you cannot afford to lose! Remember the casino is a business. I want to pass on information that the everyday person can use, because I am that everyday person. I also want to note that some of the things you are about to read may sound kind of contradictory, and too simple to be true. If you read the book enough times, you will soon get into my way of thinking and you will be enlightened to see my mindset and my way of thinking inside a casino. You will also read about my mindset outside of the casino after a day at the casino. One of the things that will happen if you re-read my book is you will find something different to take with you each time you go to the casino. Everything that you will read in this book, I use in my gamming strategy; Trust me! For my own privacy and because Im not looking to be famous, I will not use my official name. I will use the name of TheSlotGuru. The original book I made uses the name of Butterman. My grandmother gave me this name when I was four years old. She passed away when I was eight years old. May God rest her soul I have read a lot of books on the market by all types of people related to Slot Machines. Some of these are from employees of casinos and different people that claim they know how to hit the slots at the casinos. They claim they can tell which slot machines are going to hit. (Payout) Believe me, if people could hit so often, why not work full time at it; right. The bottom line is you have to have heart to play the slots for a living; you also have to be a little crazy! Well, the information that Im putting out in my book is coming from a person that has done it and still doing it, my friends. It was total rubbish and it hurt me to read such
5

non-noteworthy information that other people wrote. So I decide to give you the real take on this. You are getting the real facts on the inside secrets to Slot Machine Gaming my friends! I started playing slot machines nineteen years ago, when I was stationed overseas in Germany. Once I was discharged from the Army (honorable discharge of course). I started working for the government and playing the slots around my hometown in Michigan. When I started making more money at the slots than I did at my job it was time to leave my government job. Yes, I really did. I am now a professional gambler with no regrets on my decision. Its how I make my living now. I would not advise anyone on doing this unless you start hitting like I did and most of all you CAN AFFORD IT. I think Im most qualified to write this book because I have done it night in and night out. Im still doing it for a living today. Setting lights off in every casino I go in is a great feeling not to mention the money I make. Im not bragging my friends, yes its a rush that only a person that has been able to get the lights to go off can understand exactly what Im talking about. If you have not had the pleasure of this feeling then Im going to show you how I did it! When the light goes off I never know how much I won, because my style of playing is: I dont look at the screen when I play (max bet of course). Thats right; I dont look at the screen of the game or games Im playing. I look at the different machines around me. I also look at the people (mainly women). Im standing most of the time so after each hit of max bet I glance at the light on the top of the machine. What a RUSH it is when that light goes off! There have been times when I would have a light go off and I would ask a total stranger to look at the screen and tell me what I won; its truly exhilarating. Ah, one can never get enough of those red, white, and blue lights. Discipline is one word you should get to know. You will have to be very discipline to play slots whether they are high limits slots or the penny slots. You must be disciplined enough to walk away when you are ahead but also remember that you want to win. So its your call! In my opinion if the machines gets cold and doesnt payout; walk away and play another machine. You can always come back and play a few more rounds later. If that machine still doesnt payout, leave it and dont look back. Someone could go to that machine that you just left and hit, so its best not to look back. If this should happen to you and you are looking, congratulate the person that hit and move on. I guarantee you Karma will be on your side, my friend if not that day; another. Remember you are in the casino to have fun first and foremost! Never forget that simple rule, yes, I know we all want to win and win big, but we must first understand that we will

never break the casino rules. With that being said go and have fun playing the slots and watch how your game changes if you have what I call slot etiquette. 1. Respect the elderly no matter how bad of a trip you are having. Always help the elderly move things out of their way. You should always put the elderly needs before you own. 2. Never argue over a machine with anyone. 3. Never hit on the slot machines or slam the arm on the one arm bandit. 4. Play with strategy of thinking outside the box! I dont do the norm. I do the opposite of the So Called Norm, whatever that is! 5. Blend in with your gamming surroundings and have a blast win or lose! 6. Give Back! Yes TheSlotGuru is so sure you are going to start hitting I want my cut, thats right Buying this book is minimal compared to whats coming your way. Your Karma will change if you dont comply with this simple rule. The information Im giving you will be worth as much to you as it is to me. If you actually look at a person that hits, bangs, and swears at the slot machine, they really dont have karma on their side. Lets not forget its a Machine! It would be best not to play too close to that type of person. Thats my experience when I run across those types of slot players; I keep my distance. Thinking out of the box meaning: Dont always play the same games, go to different games and play the max bet like I do. I play a lot of the games that have bonus rounds. The pay off after a good bonus game could be a wonderful experience with life changing money as well. Again, max bet is the name of my game my friends and bonus games paid/pay me well Thats if Im playing the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or dollar machines. The bigger the Max bet means the bigger the payout. (Remember only play what you can afford to lose) Playing higher limit slots can be a bit more intricate you must first start off with a sizable bankroll! Please dont expect to go in high limits with one hundred or even two hundred dollars and expect to be successful on a consistent basis! On a few occasions you can see a light go off with a small bankroll. You should keep the mindset when you step to the high limits, you should have a sizeable bankroll. Dont get me wrong, all it takes is one pull in high limits and you can walk out ahead. Remember we are talking about casinos and they are not there to make every Joe and Mary wealthy! That being said, when you step into high limits you, in my opinion should have at least one thousand dollars and thats on the low side. Your trip would go a lot better on the dollar machines and below which is not a problem, because they also pay well, my friends! Thats enough to play quite a few rounds on the slots and if you lose, then it wont cost your house and car if you dont do so well. (Only take what you can afford to lose) Now, if you hit well you will be happy to say the least.

You can take my advice and follow the steps that I share with you that have given me great success over the years with no fake stories within. Its all about being the best gamer you can be. If you master one of my techniques you will be a happy person. Once I step on the high-limit floor, my mind and thoughts are on lights. Nothing more, nothing less and I dont play for credits on a slot machine; I play for the light on the top of a slot machine to go off. Believe me its not hard to do that a few times, but to make lights go off every time you go to a casino, well thats more of a professional. This is something I have become The Professional Slot Machine Gambler If you follow the information in this book you should be able to set lights off on your next visit or every visit. The lights come on when you hit a winning combination of one thousand two hundred dollars or more on one spin. This is why I play for the bright lights, the pretty bright lights! Thats what this book is all about and where my mindset is when entering into a casino. You purchased this book for a reason and if you follow my advice Im sure you will be successful at the casino more time than others. Remember to leave when you are ahead the result from not observing this simple rule can cost you your whole bankroll before you decide to leave. You always want to play with what you can afford to lose. I never play with money that I have to pay bills with but then again I live a cash-only lifestyle so I really dont have any bills. I will say things in this book multiple times for a reason. Saying things back to back and often is a good learning tool. I swear by it! Your job is to pick up on the multiple things I repeat and learn them. Study the statements I make in this book, take them to the casino with you and watch how enlightened you will become, my friends. To me there are a lot of playing styles out there, but for now lets concentrate on two types of (easy to miss) playing styles. One style is for the person who goes to the same casino often and the other is for the person who goes to any casino only a few times a year. If you go to the casino two or three times a year, then you need to put this book down no refund, just put it down. Im just kidding, I know you enjoy the information that Im putting out. You will learn a great deal to take with you even if you only go a couple times a year. Now, for the ones that go to the casinos on a regular basis, lets take a trip into the life of a Professional Slot Machine Gambler. I am going to be brutally honest and realistic in these passages. I do believe in the Lord. That being said, I do pray while I play the slots (sometimes not all the time). Some people claim its wrong to gamble, (maybe so, maybe not) but if you look hard enough, you can find something wrong with everybody. My take on people that say you shouldnt gamble is to mind your own business Some people that want you to stop when you lose will be the same people with their hand out once you win. Im going to take you into my world of gaming, my friends.

Whats on My Mind When Im Entering and Walking into a Casino? Attention to detail is whats on my mind when walking through the casino on my way to the high limits area. Im always looking around for those blinking lights! If for nothing else, Im looking for the area the lights are going off in and making a mental note of it. (No particular machine just the close area) Then later that night or one day in the future, Im going to play in those areas. Just the idea that the lights are going off lets me know that the casino is paying someone and thats a good feeling to TheSlotGuru. On my way to my slot section I hear people on the card table hollering for twenty-five buck they just won. I look, smile, and keep on moving towards my area with lights on my mind. The card and dice tables bring out a lot of intensity from people that make them scream and shout! The slots also have a way of making a person scream or shout, as you will find out! Once I arrive in the high limit area I scope the area, then if there arent any lights going off I then go and try to make some go off. First, I look for the highest paying machines and do a max bet, hoping for the best. I dont believe there is anyway a person can tell when a machine will hit (unless you are playing the machine, received a nice sum of money and it feels like you should continue) or can they determine which machine will hit by what is on the screen when they walk up. There are times however that you will be on a machine and you can just feel it will hit and in fact it will not all the time but it does happen If you see lights going off in your gaming area make note of it and remember which machines are lit up. Some people that win collect their winnings and leave without really putting any money back into the machine they just won on. I say go behind them and put a little bit of cash in the machine they just hit on. Around one hundred dollars is a good amount. Remember you are in the high stakes now! If you are on the penny machine do the same thing but insert twenty or fifty dollars if your bankroll can take it. If you dont play that day on your next visit try the machine that you had seen with the lights going off, you may be pleasantly surprised! It doesnt matter how many times the machines hit they sometimes hit back-to-back more than once. All of the styles and techniques Im about to discuss with you in this book will not be able to be accomplished in one visit to the casino; not even one hundred visits. Pick a few techniques that I will give you and put together your very own personal style and try them on one visit. The more you read on the more complex my gaming will get, so catch your breath and get ready to follow me as I make those lights go off. Oh, one more thing, I will be telling you my secrets to hitting more jackpot no gimmicks. I m going to give you my exact movements and thoughts. So if you read and get a good understanding of your reading you will uncover your own style of play. Happy reading my friends!

Remember but Forget Yes, my friends, thats what TheSlotGuru does If I made a lot of money at the casino on one trip, its good to know you did it, but remember to forget the past on the next trip and start new each time. Only think about your future success! I cannot stress enough the here and now factor must be implemented on a regular basis. For your success to have longevity dont get caught up on your last trip. It could be a fatal error! Good or bad, I try to forget the last trip and start fresh when I enter the casino. Then you may get on a game that was not hitting on your last trip and it pays off. (Using max bet of course).

Always be Polite Yes, this is true, always be polite whether you are winning or losing. I truly believe in karma. Just treating people with common courtesy seems to go a long way with my karma in the casino and out of it also. Many times strangers in good moods have uplifted me When I wasnt doing so well at the casino on certain nights, Jus a simple hello or having any luck buddy seemed to have changed my luck a few times. I dont like to talk too much until I win, which brings me to my next topic.

Talk when you feel Like It It may seem simple enough, but you will be surprised at how many people want to talk to you when you are gaming, especially when the lights are going off. TheSlotGuru sees this as annoyance. Its best to stay focused and keep your mind on gaming using your very own technique and not get sidetracked by idle chatter. Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with talking; you are there to win money not really chat. You might want to suggest this book and then they will see and understand exactly what you are doing And I will thank you ahead of time for promoting my book Thank you. Always Help the Elderly Although Im in the casino to get money, I cannot help but see elderly people with their walkers or oxygen tanks. First, I think its awesome they are out enjoying themselves trying to win money. Actually its great they have a competitive obsession and my elders out competing; is fantastic. I look at each elderly person like they are my grandparents! (They dont know thats how I look at them and this is okay, because I know some of them look at me as their grandson). I take it upon myself to move a chair for them or clear the aisle if they need it. I respect the elders and if they dont smoke (I do) I will put it out. Yes treating people right is part of my gaming experience and I favor older people who are gaming.

High Limits
(The cats meow!) (Or TheSlotGuru Caterpillar) (Ones yin and yang)

I personally look all around the casino, but my main concern is High Limits high limit gaming is a different world for me because one light on the right machine can bring life-changing money to even a novice! Its happened to me many times as I was playing a slot machine thinking thoughts and boom, I get a light to go off and its 16K (sixteen thousand dollars) or 48K. What a night; right? To me, thats life-changing money. I did not mention the 75K or 63K I also won that night. I was doing nothing more than playing a machine to the fullest! Those are real JACKPOTS that I hit while gaming. This is one of the methods Im writing about and it includes Karma. Yes, I consider karma as one of my greatest assets! As I approach any machine my mindset is on light, but a lot of time you need credits first. This is where I slide in a 100-dollar bill on a ten-dollar machine. (This is ten credits) Playing the Max bet, depending in the machine; in this case two credits is max bet. Keep in mind all it takes is one hit of max bet to get top dollar amount on any hit (Check the machine you are playing to be sure you are aware of the cost for max bet) Example: (These are situation that I have encountered several times) You hit for eight hundred dollars, a lot of people take the money and run but not TheSlotGuru. Once I hit for three hundred dollars or more on any given slot machine, I feel reassured that I have that money to play with NOT run with. (Unless that is what you are playing for; in that case great job!) With max credits bets, I have a couple of different techniques. The first techniques Is: I hit max bet when the reels stop I hit it again quickly (Fast Play) Repeat that three to five times, then if no light I wait ten-fifteen seconds (Slow Play) Then hit max bet again. Then every two-four seconds (quick, but not supersonic fast play)

To play or cash out depends on how many credits you have accumulated and how the machine has been paying out. Yes, there have been times when I had 2500 dollars worth of credits on the slot machine (with my style of gaming it happens a lot) and as I said before, it depends on how you are feeling on that given day. That the gamble my friends!

11

Now Option 1: Cash out and go get a light. Option 2: Play until you get to a certain amount, lets say 1800 dollars, and then cash out at 1500 dollars. (Because I never seem to leave on the mark that I set for myself) Option 3: I play all the way back down all the credits determined to get that light. To me its almost like you are saying to the slot machine I want more and Im not going to settle for anything less. Now one of two things will happen; at this point when you play all the way down from two thousand five hundred dollars. Either you will hit a visible light (because two thousand five hundred dollars is a jackpot in accumulated credits but no lights came on. Because you did not get them on one spin you accumulated them. Therefore, you will not get taxed on that type of jackpot!) Or you dont and play all the credits back. I started with 100 dollars won up to two thousand five hundred dollars and play for the light to come on I lost it all. It has happened so many times to me Im walking away scratching my scalp (because I have no hair) wondering what just happened. Know when to stay or go! Trust me you will feel it! You must listen to your gut.

Do I or Do I not Use My Players Card Without any question; YES. I love my status of having the highest card level in that particular casino Im playing in. I think the slot machines sometimes give larger jackpots to high-level card holders (not proven just my thoughts). Also, most of the people I see that are regular big time winners use their cards, not to mention the food and rooms you get for free just for using your card. Many other benefits to using the card are massages, pool, recreation, and the gift shops Did I mention that you also get points that turn into cash that goes onto your players card? Different casinos have different rules so ask a casino employee to point you in the right direction, you will be glad you did. Trust me.

Whats on my Mind as Im Playing Slots? I am going to be honest here and all I am thinking about is lights! I do push that thought to the back of my mind as far back as I can push it. (Which isnt too far) I try to think of positive thoughts that keep me going through the night and let me tell you about those lights, my friend. They come on when you least expect them and many times over. So try to mentally not expect it all the time because it adds up to a lot of letdowns. I dont like let downs but dealing with the casino full time has its share. Thats one of the main reasons I dont look at the screen, because I dont like seeing two matching symbols and not three! The
12

feeling I get is like Mike Tyson just hit me in the stomach! Somehow it all evens out because when I hit for 48K I feel great. Again you have to be ready for the ups and downs, mentally tune out the negative and go with the money you can afford to lose and have a great time. I also like to have mental dialog with people that are no longer in this world. Relatives, friends or close ones that have passed away. I find it to be very comforting, tranquilizing and relaxing. While Im talking to my grandmothers spirit and a light comes on! It has happened too many times to count. I will not go off into extra-life experiences; thats another book. I will say the words I have with my relatives while Im gaming are so nice and pleasant that it almost seems like they are right next to me. Then the light comes on. The words that are in this book cannot be made up! Im giving you my life experience inside the casino. Uncut and uncensored! You must read every word I write in this book to truly uncover my mindset as Im in the casino and getting the lights to go off; while I entertain the other guests who wish it were they. Yes, this is my style of playing, just keep absorbing the information Im putting out and Im sure your slot days are about to get a little nicer!

How I Act After a JACKPOT Theres nothing I hate more than a cocky winner. To me Karma is not on their side and I keep my distance. I have found out in my experiences at the casino that, even if a persons makes a light go off once or twice, they are not happy. Most of these people dont tip and are just jerks in general; their night doesnt last long either. Dont be surprised if they start talking to you after they lose their bankroll, especially if they see your lights going off more often than theirs. First I thank whatever relatives spirits I was talking to at the time and then I smile through the whole process of getting paid. The process starts with, giving the slot attendants my license and social security card. After that some casinos take your license and social security card, get the information they need, and give you it back on the spot. Next they will reset the machine then have you do a spin off. Then You continue to play until you can go get the money you just won. (Four Winds) I must say it is a wonderful feeling as Im escorted to the cashiers cage and the attendant at the counter then counts out my winnings to me. Im smiling the entire way through to the cashiers even if its only a 1200-dollar jackpot! Karma is amazing then I tip depending on how busy the casino is at that given moment and how long I had to wait to get paid on my jackpot. (They get it to me fast at MotorCity, MGM, Four Winds, and the Soaring Eagle, Caesars Windsor and Greek Town casinos) Once I make it back to my machine, I then do my spin off, tip the slot attendant and Im right back at the slots. At that point you have the option of calling it a night. (But not TheSlotGuru)

13

To me playing the slots is a lot like life; you get out what you put in. Even know I am a professional slot machine player I still have to pay dues in the form of not hitting sometimes. (At least thats what I call it) If this is the case for the night I get some food and relax at the casinos hotel. To me theres no two ways about it Im in the casino to gamble, eat and sleep if necessary. I gamble first, then eat or (but not usually) get around to sleeping.

Different Modes That TheSlotGuru Plays Under

(Playing styles and techniques I have learned over the years)

These are my definitions: I have never let this information out before now, so enjoy. You may have to re-read this book each time you are planning a trip to the casino. To your amazement each time you read it, different parts of the book will bring you something you missed. Here are some playing techniques I use and have observed over the years: 1. Fast play mode fast play on one slot is hitting the button in two-four second intervals (I told you this earlier, remember) and thats when Im playing one machine. 2. Slow play mode hitting the button in ten second intervals all the time. No changing up just straight play at ten-second intervals or more per hit of the button. (This one is too slow for me but I have seen people play this technique with some success) Also its good to use this with fast or moderate play. Say, if you are on fast play mode and you hit the max bet button four times on the fifth one I pause, going to slow play. (One hit of the max credit button, then go back to fast play mode) Thats just one way of putting together different styles, my friends. 3. Moderate play mode hitting the button between five and ten second intervals. This is a vital part of my personal formula as well as fast play! I have thoughts going on in my mind as I play, Im not hitting the button as quick and I slip into moderate time frame. I combine fast-play with moderate-play, when Im playing one slot machine. (This is rare, because I hardly ever play only one slot machine) I will get into that in a moment. 4. Going with your gut mode. Yes, I said it, one of my most successful techniques ever! Once I come into the casino I have an instant head rush and my heart starts pounding. Its a feeling that I love to feel and thats when I first get there. Once I start gaming after no lights for a period of time (normally around ten minutes) that feeling quickly leaves, my friends. Now on the other hand to combine that feeling with a light going off on the first game you play is unbelievable. (This has happened numerous times to TheSlotGuru to say the least. Not bragging, just letting you know it can happen to you also, my friends) Trust me!

These are some of the Different Types of Players TheSlotGuru has Noticed at the Casinos 1. Penny-pinch-playing this style I personally think is the worst of all for ME. These are the casino patrons that come in the casino and just play one credit on one line at the slots and really expect to win something. I smile and speak if we make eye contact. I observe the machine they are on and if Im around after they leave, I go right behind them and set a light off. (True Story) 2. The cautious player They watch you from far and wait until you get off the machine you are on. They observe exactly how much cash you are putting in the machine, how long you have been playing the machine and when you leave. They are right behind you to take your place when you leave. Its really best not to look back. Reserve the table if you can play some machines they were on if you ever see them playing. 3. Ghost players these are the players that always seem to be there to congratulate you when you hit a light, but again no one actually sees them playing. Strange People! 4. The Card/slot player they play the tables full-time but do a little moon lighting on the slots any winnings they get on slots; they put back at the tables All you have to do is observe them and sometimes they are looking at a slot machine but cant leave the card table. Use your sense to observe and go to that slot and play it a few rounds, you may be very pleasantly surprised. Trust Me! 5. The always hitters the people that always seem to hit. Its a good idea to observe them as you are gaming if they are in your area. Watch the games they play and take mental notes. Then you can play them at your leisure if you feel like it. You will soon become one of them an always hitter! Trust Me!

Which Bills do I think are the Best to Use? I personally have played with all bills but 10-dollar bills seem to make me tired, because Im constantly feeding the machine. 50-dollar bills people say are bad luck and they may be right because I have rarely hit a jackpot with 50s. I think that playing with twenty dollar bills are good, but I put five in at a time to equal 100-dollars. Thats not too bad, but still kind of ho hum! (Boring to me) I mainly play with 100-dollar bills and always have some 20s on hand to play with as well. Everyones bankroll is different but I favor the 100-dollar bills and thats what I play with the most.

How I get annoying people away from me without getting the Casino involved First off, let me say that everyone that talks to you are not annoying; only the ones bothersome to you. These are the ones that want to just sit there and talk about nothing while looking over your shoulder hoping you lose. You can take two simple routes to get rid of these pests that seem to bring bad luck. First, if you have a cell phone look directly at the person thats being an annoyance and simply say good luck, I have to make a call. At that point stop playing and walk a few feet away, leaving your money in the machine is ok. The casinos have more cameras than you can shake a stick at. So they know thats your machine. Ninety-nine percent of the time they will leave. If they dont then you simply look at them and let them know you do not like being watched while you are gaming thats that they are gone. (Most of the time if it gets this far the slot attendants that you tipped will see whats going on) That slot attendant (without you saying anything to him) will have that person leave you alone). The attendant will take care of you; just make sure you take care of them once the light comes on.

How I choose which Slot Machine to Play As Im walking around in high stakes Im also looking at the payout of the machines. I normally float in the direction of the highest paying slot machines, but with Karma and observing I relax my mind, walk up to any game that interests me and I start playing. No secrets here, these are clues I look for, no magic tricks. Im not telling you I look at a screen and by the combination on the screen thats what determines if I pay that machine or not. No way shape or form do I go by that nonsense. I have never walked up and won money because of a combination thats on the screen. I have however played a machine that had two sevens showing out of three but I didnt get a light. That doesnt mean if you do play a machine with the symbols showing you will get the light either. (Im telling you my story). I rarely look at the screen; so I couldnt tell you whats on the screen. Regardless of what the screen shows you want to play that particular game then go ahead and play it. Max bet it! You will also run into people within the casino that think they know everything about every jackpot thats been hit for the past years in the casinos. I do in fact listen to their information, but it rarely holds any water whatsoever on my gaming. Sometimes when they tell me a person put fifteen grand in a machine and got nothing out of it; it does not affect my mindset. That doesnt mean you will not have the lights come on. Stay focused! I have had several people come up to me and tell me that someone just won on a machine I was playing. I look at them (in their eyes) and say thank you for the information. To
16

me that is negative and it holds no weight with me. In most cases I get a light on that very machine! (Once you get in good with Karma your entire casino experiences will change).

Advanced Play
(one of my specialties)

To me advance play is when you play multiple machines at one time, my friends. This is what I do, and again without a nice bankroll you cannot use this technique. But thats no problem, because your bankroll will be larger if you just comprehend my information that Im putting in this book. You will do just fine with some moving around playing two or three machines at once. I dont like watching the screen anyway and unless you are playing in, for example; playing twoend machines right across from each other and you play slow mode method. You will have time to watch your outcome of all games. Here is another example: This is a little more constant movement involved. This is my mode and this is my gaming most of the time. So you can see why I quit my job, because I was tired night in and night out with this type of play. On most nights, I may start off with two machines. I usually never play one unless my money is getting low. Once I get a light to come on, then I am off in the fast mode constant meaning while Im waiting for the slot attendant to bring me back a 15000K Jackpot on one machine. I hit another for 14000K before they paid me for the first one yes this happened to me quite often. Thats why I love what I call constant play meaning Im playing while Im waiting to get paid. Im still hitting max bet on a machine that is next to the machine that I hit the jackpot on, so while they are counting my money to me at the machine, I sometimes hit max bet on the machine next to it. (Some casinos pay you at the machine if your jackpot is five thousand or less, this depends on the casinos) I always play other machines while waiting to get paid. I have had up to 3 different machines with lights on before the attendant got back to me. Thats my fast mode; these same lights will go off in slow or moderate modes as well. On good nights I play seven (7) to ten (10) slots at the same time. My play mode is fast which means that I am not stopping for me until my body gets tried. I will play single, double rows and sections at one time. Im getting older but in my hay day I used to tell people I was at the gym because I was constantly on my feet. Yes, my feet get tired after eight or nine hours of constant play. There have been times when I was on fast mode for about thirteen hours and the lights were going off like crazy. My arm was so tired from me raising it up all night just to get paid. I think I raised my arms over fifty times that night. My whole body gets tired, thats why its good to
17

choose a casino with great hotels so you can rest up. You will feel like a new person the next day. Winning Percentage of a Machine A thing like a winning percentage of a machine to me just doesnt matter much because even the machine with low percentage still hits sometimes. Who knows when that last time was? Playing the slots is what its all about so dont worry about the percentages of a machine, you will lose focus. I enjoy playing hard hit slots or should I say the slots that guest deem to be hard to hit. More of a challenge for TheSlotGuru and when those hard hitting machines payout; it will change your life. You never know unless you play them. What is going on inside the slot machine? What makes it tick? How can you get an Edge on Slots? Let me say this loud and clear All I think about when I go into the casinos is lights. That light can be 1200 dollars or million dollars; all I ask my father for is lights. To know how a machine or when a machine will hit; I personally think it cannot be done. If that could be done its wrong and with wrongness comes bad Karma followed by a rough life, my friends. The thing is this, the machines are going to hit and I dont know when or where. I can say I will play my best when Im there and I want you to do the same. If anyone says they know how to beat the casino you say Show ME! they will talk a good game but when it comes down to it, dont waste your time and energy. Winning money will come to you by following the rules, the casinos and mine.

What time of Day Do I Go to the Casino? I used to think going at certain times of the day or certain days of the week would influence the machine to hit. For example: I used to think that the machine only hits on weekends or the machines only hit during the daytime. I thought the machines only hit right after they were changed or before it was time to get changed. Yes, my mind clicks more than a stopwatch. After years of gaming, observing, and winning I can honestly say to you my friends that anytime is a good time to hit a jackpot. Simply put, I go every day of the week if I feel like it. (Anytime is good) I will usually go between 10pm and 5am but thats really not saying much. I have stayed from 10 hours to 36 hours in one visit. I will start at night with a bankroll of three thousand to four thousand dollars. (Remember we are talking about ME, if you want to go with a smaller bankroll thats fine because all it takes is one good light and any light is a good light, my friends)

18

Im Not Going to Tell You That You Will Hit a Jackpot on Every Trip! (I also will not tell you that you wont) There is absolutely no way I can tell you or guarantee that you will hit a light every time you step into a casino; that would make me a liar! What I will say and stand behind is this book, my style and techniques that I am explaining. If you read and more importantly really comprehend what you are reading in this book, then your mindset will change and yes, your luck will also change!

One Thing That Goes Thru My Mind as I Lose and Lose Bad To continue to be as real as I possibly can when I have a bad night at the slots. For me, bad only comes in one of three ways. 1. I get a few lights as soon as I get there playing moderate mode and lose it all back before I get to the high limits. (A bad start) Yes, I play certain high paying penny, nickels, dimes and quarter machines. (On a max bet, it may be fifteen bucks on a penny then if I change the denominations to five cent on the same machine it is seventy five bucks max bet) These games are on the floor before you even reach high stakes and if you are not careful these will prevent you from making it to the high stakes. When I first get to the casino and make my way to high limit slot area, I will get a few lights to come on playing the penny, nickel, or dimes slots before I get there; which is a great way to start out. 2. To make it to high limits with the same size bankroll or better than when you entered the casino is an awesome feeling. Getting some lights before the high limit is great but getting the high limit lights will make your night. 3. The bad part is I dont leave when Im ahead. (And I still dont) When I do leave some twenty-four hours later, sometimes is not good my friends. These are the facts of a professional gambler. This is when you make your own choice my friends REMEMBER to go to the casino with what you can afford to lose and nothing more. If you go there with that mindset your trip will be more enjoyable. If this scenario ever happens to you at least you are prepared. (Remember in the beginning of the book I said leave when you are ahead and thats what is on my mind as Im getting my rear end handed to me on a platter).

How I Act and What I do After I lose at the Casino When I am down to my last few credits and the trip is winding down I know its pretty much a done deal for this trip. Its very important for me to smile (as much as I can) and speak on my way out, which is the same as I do when I get there. If Im hungry I go and eat free because I used my players card when playing. After a long day in a casino I do go eat, relax and wind down. When its time to leave I dont stand around looking at other people playing or telling every person thats the machine I hit on. To be a true gamer you have to accept losing just like winning! Karma is such a beautiful thing and there is a blessing in everything in life, my friends. (Thats just how I feel) you just have to stay thinking positive; it has not failed me yet! If you master the art of leaving once youre ahead you will be fine. This is very tough to master... But not impossible!

How Do I Feel After a Bad Loss on my Way Home? To me a bad loss is when I should have left but didnt. If I had left earlier it would have been a great night, because I would be up by 10 or 30 thousand. When its all said and done I lose and go home saying I should have left when I was ahead. Ninety-five percent of the time Im ahead. I love driving and being on the road especially on the way home because it is very tranquil for me. I play nice soft music that relaxes me. Of course Im tired from gaming, because it usually 10 plus hours. If I am too tired I will pull over in a public area and take a nap Dont drive if you are that tired, you may have another life changing experience that you will not like. Take the Nap! When I arrive at my home I get around family, smile, laugh and look at whats really important to me. I try to look out for everyone so when something happens to TheSlotGuru I get comfort in helping others. They have no idea that they (my family, friends, and the guys at the barber shop) are helping me feel better. Karma is more than a game to me, my friends; its my life! You should also treat people nice when you win; treat them nice when you lose as well. Thats my story and Im sticking to it! Letting you know how Unpredictable the Casinos Are True story: When I am exiting a casino I always play the cash I have on me. One time I was down to my last two-hundred dollars and I observed a one-dollar machine, I bet the max, which was forty-five dollars. I hit for ten grand! Thats right, I left the machine and come back after fifteen minutes. I put a one hundred dollar bill in and won sixty-eight thousand dollars... I went from two hundred dollars to seventy-eight thousand dollars in less than thirty minutes. I still get a rush when I think about it! Thats why I dont give up.

How do I honestly feel about my Job as a Professional Gambler? I love it; its exhilarating for me. Yes, I have bad days but the good ones outweigh the bad ones Its all about my mindset and how I am in my world, life is not just casino! I dont go every night When the time is right Im off to work! I love being a gambler. When I walk into a casino I never know what or how the night is going to end. I never know how much I may win. The thrill of the unknown is awesome. You have to love it or hate it. If you want good Karma, you dont hate anything, right?

How Do I feel About the Casinos? I personally think that the casinos are in business to make money I also know they give out winnings as well (millions per month, I dont know the exact amount but its a lot) my job is to get my share from any casino I want. If I make 100 trips to the casino and get ahead (ahead meaning more cash than I went in with) and this happens ninety-five percent of the time. Leaving can be hard because of the fun and the rush you get from the lights. I have never had a problem at the casino with getting paid on any of my jackpots I have hit They never made me wait too long after a big hit like Forty-thousand, fifty-thousand and so on. Remember you are on cameras from the time you are in the parking lot until you step on to the casino floors. I love the fact that I dont have to look over my shoulder. The casinos give me that comfort when Im there. To me casinos are one of the safest places to be! When you are dealing with millions of dollars a day as many casinos do, I go to play and not cause problems. You will not be there long if thats your intention. Im there to win and enjoy the entertainment. Sometimes I think the casinos let their cardholders win more. Thats my take (has not been proven just my thoughts) if you think about that. Thats how the casinos know when their friend is playing and they track your style of play and bets. The big bucks come to the cardholder a lot in my experiences at the slots. Trust me! (Observe)

My Guide to you Learning from My Ups and Downs One of the many reasons I wanted to put my 19 years of experience in this book about casinos is to show people exactly what I do, exactly how I think and how I move. You must read every line, go to the casino, come back and tip me. Now read this book again. You should be laughing pretty hard now because you now realize I hit so many nails on the head. It took me 19 years to put this collaboration together and this book isnt that thick for a reason, my friends. I didnt want to get lengthy with a bunch of non-sense, just the facts on how I got
21

where I am today. I will only hope and pray that you get lights to go off and if you follow my lead you will be fine. If you get one light, it pays for this book and the priceless information thats in it. Like I said up to now I have shown you how to act when you are up and down. Learn from it! Embrace it! You will hit the lights my friend! Trust Me!

Building Your Own Styles from My Own Techniques and Strategies I would like for you to experiment with your own formulas and different modes of playing. No two styles are alike my friends as long as you are aware of that and everything else covered in this book. Now you have my mindset going into the casinos This book is small enough to read five times over! Im a firm believer in having a great time at the casinos even if I lose.

You can Use my Style and Methods on any Machine from the Penny Machines up to but not limited to the hundred dollar machines and beyond. Thats right any machine in the casino you can use my styles and methods on. I use these methods all the time. I favor the high limits but like I said before, I play one cent, five cent, and twenty-five cent machines also. I use these slot machines making my way to the high limit machines. Remember what you read in this book, my friends It may cost you a jackpot if you dont. The remaining pages are a small portfolio of some of my work/winnings at the casinos. I have repeated things in this book on purpose. Its called repetition and its an effective tool to learn with. As your will see. I dont know you and you dont know me but somehow I feel connected to the people that are reading this book for my style and strategies. I take nothing for granted, my friends. When I go to the casinos its a job for me, I have to win to survive and to me there is nothing less than max bet on any machine that I play on, no exceptions. I enjoy treating people well even if I dont leave the casino with any money that day. Thats why its very important to play with your players card because it will allow you to get free food and give you hotel accommodations. Choose your casinos carefully my friends To be frank, if I lose on three straight trips, I take a break from that part of the casino. Unless you use the casinos as your main source of income like I do, then you should not encounter such droughts as I have. Dont hold it to me, my friend, thats just my mindset. You must remember its still a gamble. Dont you love it? No, well you will once the light or lights come on and you take your winnings. Enjoy yourself and give some away. I always find it great to do something or give people money thats not expecting it Like the lady in front of me at the gas station. She had a five or ten dollar bill and I just paid for her gas, then said have a blessed day. She was very thankful and that made it all worthwhile.

The look on their faces are overwhelming, the power of giving is one of those things where you have to do it to truly appreciate it! If you give enough, expecting nothing in return from the people that you may help, my friends, Karma will pay you a visit personally, that I promise you. Karma is a nice thing to have and the things karma does speak volumes, my friend. If you are doing good things then you may have met Karma already. She is a real friend and she is always around when you need her. When she takes care of you by allowing you to hit some lights, make sure you do something for someone else. I remember one day I was at the casino and it was a great day for me. Lights were going off all over the place! I won well over 100 thousand dollars that trip (which is extremely rare event) which lasted for one day! I got a bunch of hits like Five thousand, seven thousand, and eighteen thousand dollars. What a night! When I hit I would give someone some money, yes total strangers mostly especially if they were having a bad day. We know what bad days are all about; right? Giving a stranger a little something could impact his or her life and if I help them by giving just a little something my day just got a little brighter. Throughout the day events, I must have given away one or two thousand dollars. All that kind or giving drew people to high limits and people come where the lights are. I assisted people that day with max betting and karma advice. The ones that listened were getting lights and those ones that didnt were watching them get lights. (True story) The day ended for me by hitting a jackpot for forty-five thousand dollars. I walked up to the family of eight or nine and gave them all 100 bucks each. (What a feeling that was!) They asked why and I simply said that I just hit and I have to do some good. The grandmother started to cry, as did. It is a great feeling and I cannot stress this enough. No long extended discussion is needed! Thats the whole thing. You do it from your heart and your casino trips will change for the better. If dont think treating others will have an influence on your luck at the casinos, think again, my friends. Trust me! (Again this was rare occurrence, yes it has happened to me before but its just not an everyday event to win that type of cash.) You must be realistic, but it does happen to me and can happen to you. On that particular day I was playing fast mode on multiple machines all day long. I kept the attendants busy and they were serving me expeditiously, yes, I tipped the attendants well! Remember Karma it will pay in the long run.

My Local Casinos Made Me Rich Yes, this is true my friends. I have yet to go to Vegas or Atlantic City casinos. If my styles and methods are good in Michigan I wonder how great they will be there. I hear they have one thousand dollar slots, wow! Im sure Karma will be with me She always is and she will always be with you as long as you live the right way, my friends. None of us are perfect but its up to you to make yourself a great person and that will transpire into the gaming area. I wish I could see the look on some of your faces when those lights start going off on a more constant basis. Im proud of you already! Congratulations! If you can visualize it, you can do it Trust Me! I would like to thank the casinos that have given me my greatest gaming experiences. The casinos that Im about to name have not paid me to mention them in this book, nor do I work for any of these casinos. Im nothing more than one person out of many who has won millions at the casinos. The difference with me is I have taken you inside my mind and told you what I have done to get me to this stage in life. Thanks to all of these casinos: Motorcity, Greentown in Detroit Michigan, MGM downtown Detroit, Caesars of Windsor Canada, Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort Mount Pleasant Michigan, and the Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo Michigan. Thank you all for the experiences a person can dream of. Im going to tour Vegas and Atlantic City along with a few others casinos to see what kind of experiences I can have. Thank you all for being top-notch establishments! The accommodations that you all offer like gaming, food, and hotels are and should be rated well above the 5 star rating Again thank you for all of the support and continued support I will receive. Lastly, I would like to leave you with a few words of wisdom from my life and casino experiences. You have to put out positive energy to acquire positive results! If you read this book enough you will see and uncover certain things that are not visible to the naked eye. The one that can read and understand everything Im saying will learn about professional success in life and that it depends on how we treat other. You should always treat strangers and family in a positive way, yes I know sometimes its hard but karma will smile upon you if you do You are in control of your life and times will come for you to help out or do nice things for people. Do what is right! I wish the best for all that have purchased my book and by bringing Karma into your life; your gaming days will soon be much better. Make sure you read this book at least twice and you will experience some form of a revelation. Dont be alarmed; its just our good friend Karma working you over in a positive way. No matter what you do, never do something for someone just because you want to have something good happen to you. It must be done from your heart no matter how small or big,
