While it may be scientifically impossible to "beat" a given slot machine there are some basic rules to keep in mind so that you can be a smarter slot machine player.
I dug up an older article by Frank Sclobete, the Gaming Guru, and it is loaded with logical, sensible advice.
You'll learn how to improve your odds a bit, and at least give yourself a longer amount of time at the slot machines. This might increase your chance of hitting a jackpot by virtue of being in the right place at the right time.
Here's another article along the same lines but with a slightly different take on slot machine strategy, and finally, a link to another site with still more advice on how to play slot machines.
Have fun and good luck!
