If you start looking for various strategies and tips to help you play pokies better and hopefully ensure that you end up turning a profit – you’re going to find that there are a lot of options out there, and not all of them are entirely on the level.

For starters, you’re going to notice that some strategies may give advice that conflict with other strategies. Also, you’ll notice that some ‘systems’ seem to be decidedly fake.

At the end of the day, you’re going to have to face the fact that while there are some legitimate strategies for playing slots out there, there are also many that are based on incorrect information – and some that are outright scams. In order to differentiate between these you’re going to have to know how to dissect the strategies that you come across and determine how effective they are before you actually set foot into a casino or log onto an online gambling website!

Figure Out Exactly What the Strategy is Asking of You

Before you can dissect a strategy you need to know exactly what it is asking you to do when you’re playing pokies. Some strategies even include steps that you’ll need to follow before you actually play a game of slots and can start as early as when you first enter a casino or an online gambling website.

The first step you need to take is to outline exactly what steps you’re going to have to follow in order for that strategy to work. Normally this will mean reading through the pokies strategy and figuring out what it has to say.

For example, if the slots strategy says that you should choose a game with a high payout percentage and place bets in a 1-2-3-2-1 series, that would mean that your first bet would be 1 coin, your second bet would be 2 coins, your third bet would be 3 coins, your fourth bet would be 2 coins and your fifth bet would be 1 coin.

If you like you could outline that strategy like this:

1. Pick a game of pokies with a high payout percentage
2. Follow a series of 1-2-3-2-1 coins when betting in that game of slots

Although it is a relatively easy step to follow, outlining the exact steps that the strategy asks you to take (including those that start when you enter the casino or are planning to go to an online gambling website) will help you to analyze them later – and dissect them too!

Determining How Strong the Pokies Strategy Is

The tough part about dissecting a pokies strategy isn’t just breaking it down – which you’ve already done. Instead, the hard part comes when you’re actually trying to determine how strong that strategy actually is.

For the most part, the reason why this stage is so difficult is that sometimes you’ll need to have a strong knowledge of slots and its inner workings before you can determine just how strong a certain strategy is.

Since you’ve already outlined the strategy itself – you now need to look at it step by step and see whether or not each step has any real benefits.

Let’s use the previous example which was:

1. Pick a game of pokies with a high payout percentage
2. Follow a series of 1-2-3-2-1 coins when betting in that game of slots

In this example, you can see that step number 1 definitely has some benefits to it. One of the basic facts that you should already know about pokies is that whenever you’re playing it at any casino or online gambling website you’re going to want to choose games with high payout percentages because they’ll help improve your odds.

So step number 1 checks out – but what about step number 2?

Following a series of bets where the coin varies – how is that going to help you when you’re playing slots? The only way it could is if you knew when the game was going to pay out – which is impossible. If you had a thorough knowledge of pokies you’d know that this is known as ‘bet patterns’ and it doesn’t work at all.

Basically this means that while the first step is based on a solid foundation and will help you when you play pokies in a casino or on an online gambling website – the second step isn’t. In fact, if you do your research you’ll realize that it is going to harm you more than it helps.

See how easy it was to dissect that slots strategy?

Some of the strategies that you encounter are going to be a lot more complicated than this example, but the core approach that you use should remain the same. If you find that there is a step that you’re unsure about or don’t know whether or not it helps – look it up. Just be sure that when you do, you pick the sources of information that you trust very carefully.

By dissecting pokies strategies in this way you should be able to weed out most of the more blatant scams and fake strategies that are only going to get in your way. Also, you should be able to find those strategies that are honestly and truly going to help you out when you next go into a casino – and that is what you wanted in the first place, right?
