I believe it's not only important to know when to leave the casino but it's also important to know when to leave a machine that has gone cold.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Agreed! We’re working on that:)

[@jlnriddick]

@@TheMidlifeRide I'm pretty sure Cowboy said it's a myth that a machine goes cold? Also, when starting with the .25 cent machine, Cowboy's method says you are suppose to be playing 5 credits ($1.25 per spin), as opposed to 3 credits, which is what you're playing at .75 per spin, so you're actually starting out incorrectly right out of the gate! I'm hoping to try out his method also, but you have to follow his directions if you're going to "test his method".

[@VersetyleMC]

Cowboy Slot’s method requires a 5 liner machine with a max bet of 5 credits. The type of machine that you are on doesn’t go into effect until you reach the $1 denom stage of his method. Hopefully this helps

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We tried that in another video:) Trying the Cowboy Slots Handpay Method on a 5 Line Double Diamond in Las Vegas | Step 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vTdZWZhaaBiqs

[@nunyamarie9044]

That was my first thought at the start. Seems silly to complain and whine when the recommended method isn't followed. The machine wasn't hitting so go to another one.

[@kirkanderson2106]

It’s not a max bet for his method it’s 5 line sand .25 a line for step one

[@Astara59]

Thank you for this Vedic. You know it just makes me happy to know that you played for a win and just keep trying. I tired it and within my first 10 spins I got my first hand pay but the difference now is I’m not just playing not knowing. Before cowboy slots I just played what ever not knowing anything about the games I played. I love that I have learned how to play better and I save a lot. I have a small cash box leave the key at home. If I put $40 and double it I put $40 in the box. I love opening my box when I get home I always have what my starting budget was or more. That is after I double my bank roll cuz I go to have fun. I listen and learn everything and I am a better gambler because of the cowboy slot guys. Keep trying their methods because you will eventually win. And you did get comps

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear that you’re having luck and keeping your winnings:)

[@forrestc]

I think videos like this are important to show that these methods aren't always a success... I've done this a couple times myself with no luck. I know the stats are against the penny slots, but when I do leave with a win it's usually after playing those.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Agreed! We know winning makes for a more popular and exciting video, but that’s just not our reality. And, yes! We tend to pick up a few $$ here and there on the pennies. Plus, there are some really fun games that we aren’t going to write off just because someone said so. Thanks so much for watching and for the great comment :)

[@HomeSlots]

@@TheMidlifeRide Very glad you do. Even though it’s a good method, and is mostly about money management and pushing risk at the right time, it doesn’t always work and we at Cowboy Slots make sure that people understand it’s still gambling at the end of the day. Thanks for watching guys! … Marc @ Cowboy Slots.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@HomeSlots Thanks for the comment! We’ll keep trying because I like the concept. We’re bound to get lucky one of these days :)

I also used the cowboy slots method and lost...a lot. The casino always wins in the end.

[@shellyhollingsworth3909]

That was brutal. Mark and Brantley @CowboySlots always remind us that their method is no guarantee that you will win. It's still gambling after all. I still like their method, as it keeps me playing longer. Even if I don't win big, I go home with money in my pocket😊 Better luck next time!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Thanks for watching! We like the concept of this method, too, and we know going in that there are no guarantees:)

[@herbertcastillo3529]

I believe @cowboyslots said pick a 5 line machine, but 👍👍 video.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Yeah, we may have misinterpreted when he said “no more than” 5 credit max. We’ll try 5 line next time:)

[@jaimequiteno2943]

Think he said 3 line machine 5 credit max

[@junzsi]

I found that the 5 lines quarter slots have been really good bringing me to a double. I know you might spend a bit more. But the pay outs are nice

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’re planning to try the 5 credit machines next time. Thanks for watching!

[@lowlyworm468]

yah i think he specifically says that on his video? trying to figure this all out!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@lowlyworm468 what I heard him say is “no more than 5 credits max”, so I took that to mean we could play a machine with a max less than 5 credits. He also pinned a video of a woman winning in Atlantic City and she was only playing 3 credits. You might ask on his channel whether it really makes a difference.

[@lowlyworm468]

@@TheMidlifeRide totally! thank you so much for the fun videos! :) we are of the same low rolling breed!

[@pathgurlj9851]

Yes, I use the method 25 cents 5 lines and works every time for me. If the machine is not showing u live in 15-20 mins, change machines. Haven’t tried this game, so will try next time in LV.

[@Its-All-Random]

Sorry if it did not work for you! I tried it once and doubled my money then went to $1 denom then lost when I reached playing $5 denom. Again, its still gambling so it’s all about luck! But let me tell you, since I started playing old school slots as recommended by Cowboy Slots, I’ve had 9 handpays in Vegas. Stick to low volatile machines! I stopped playing penny slots. Realized I’ve been bamboozled by the casinos all these years. Good luck and have fun!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’ll still play other slots because we have fun playing them. We’ve been playing the old school slots for years and usually do pretty well on them. We’ll keep trying because I like the concept, though we might start at a higher step in the strategy, since we didn’t have luck on the quarters. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Glad to hear it has worked out for you:)

[@eileenloring6660]

Thanks for posting this. I just tried the cowboy slots method, starting with 50$ on a 25cent (3 credit) machine. I came close to doubling my money. I should have probably stopped at that point but I really wanted to try for it. I had a very long playing time and I really enjoyed it! I talked to the machine a lot like you guys!! I felt a lot more confident playing and selecting a machine. I will definitely try again!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

That’s great! We’re glad you enjoyed trying and hope it pays off for you next time:)

[@pathfndr4711]

This method is great in theory, but, personally I would have found another machine at $50. Your particular machine was not giving you sustainable hits 😢 if it gave more back and stayed above $70+/-, I would have kept on going.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Thank you for being specific on this recommendation! Lots of people have said we should have moved but offered no details.

[@biscuitandme4119]

That was my question. You can switch machines right . Just keeping in the denom

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@biscuitandme4119 sounds that way. Many have said it, but we didn’t even know that was an option because we didn’t remember him mentioning that in the video we watched.

[@deelo4153]

Cowboy did say that...in the end it's still gambling and expect to lose. Won't work for everyone. 😮

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We always expect to lose, but always hope to win :)

[@Dcmaddog12]

You have to switch machines…. Staying on the same the entire time is how you never win. I don’t think his video mentioned that you can always switch machines lol

[@TheMidlifeRide]

I don’t remember him saying that either. Thanks so much for letting us know! We definitely would have switched. Does it have to be the same machine though? There’s usually only one of each name. Could we move from a Triple Stars to a Double Diamond?

[@Dcmaddog12]

@@TheMidlifeRide you can do what you feel is best. There is no one size fits all. It is all RNG - random generated number. Here is what I’ve had some success doing the hardest part is walking away with it, especially if it happens first 10-20 mins of being there. I take $100-200 only and look at good paying pay tables and low-medium volatility. I bet starting slow 50 cents to $2. If I hit I bump up to $3-10. If I go up some I’ll hop on medium-High volatilityy dragon link. I don’t agree with cowboy on those. I have won a few major jackpots and handpays off off of couple hundred dollars. But if it’s dead spins 5 or more i switch denominations. Or new machine. My top 5: 1: triple double wild cherry or double wild cherry (this is the double diamond volatility level just with cherries and more exciting pay table) 2. Triple Double Diamond 3. Dragon or Lightning Links - just watch for dead spins / blanks and switch denominations often. They hit pretty good amount of time and they pay very very Well. You can bet minimum 50 cents and still receive the progressives of $50 minor or $500-1000 major. I have had 4 this year 4. Double Diamond Deluxe 5. Any Triple 7s old school style reel If you stay on same machine more than 50 spins especially after hitting several hundred dollar line pay you should do a couple backup spins and switch machines unless it just keeps hitting. The hardest part is leaving. I’ve had multiple nights where I ran couple hundred to $1000-2000 and walked out with only up few hundred or with pockets empty. Don’t be that guy. I now have a little portable pocket size safe box to cash winnings and I can’t open until I’m at home. Hope this helps! If it does for you lmk. Great channel!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@Dcmaddog12 interesting info! Sounds like you have your strategy all figured out. Thanks for sharing:)

[@lyndaparkerson3005]

I think he said, if you were not getting some regular payouts, you can change machines just choose the same type machine

[@joeahopelto8032]

You can't win by being a butterfly at the slots. I have seen too many players spin 2 or 3 times and move on. Also, it's difficult to win with minimum bets.

[@MrDynamic76]

I did this method last night at Choctaw in Durant Oklahoma. I started with $100 and ended up winning $458. Going to try again this weekend!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Awesome! We hope you continue to win with this method:)

[@scotthogan6891]

As far as gambling goes I'm going to tell you right now you have better odds waiting on a slot machine that you have on the winning the lottery numbers and that's factual

[@coreynancyconan3148]

Cowboy slots does say a machine that has 5 credit.. maybe try that next time

[@TheMidlifeRide]

That’s the plan!

[@bonwatcher]

I like Cowboy Slots too, but starting at 25 cent machines to advance to a handpay is tough. I usually start at $1 machines trying to double on $100 at lower volatility slot machines (Blazing 7's, Top Dollar, Pinball) and go up to $5, $10 and $25 slots if I'm lucky enough to keep doubling up. 🤠

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We plan to start at $1 next time. Thanks for watching and sharing:)

[@biscuitandme4119]

He says to play a strict 25cent denom with 5 credits. machine. Thats $1.25 .

[@rongriswold1292]

When you got to half way you were supposed to move machines.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

I don’t remember hearing that in the video I watched. Can you tell me which video he says that? I’d like to watch it.

[@grandmaday9575]

@@TheMidlifeRide His original video he says "double or nothing" - but later, the other guy on his channel says to change machines after you lose half. In one video, the other guy moved to a $0.02 machine that wasn't three reels or anything on the first list, so they are changing their "rules" as they go. It depends what video you see first. I haven't had any luck with the Cowboy method, either.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@grandmaday9575 ah, changing the rules as they go… lol! Sounds like we either need to watch every single video (unlikely) or just trust our gut and do what we want:) Thanks for the info!

[@BadBearU812]

My opinion is the lower your bet, the less chance you have for handplay!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Agreed! But, his method doesn’t call for a handpay until you’re at the last step-$10 per spin.

[@ritamoreno2031]

Thank you for posting using this method you did win over the 100.00 thresh hold you should of either upped your bet or went to another machine.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We won??? When? We were supposed to double our money-$100 in (400 credits), $200 out (800 credits). We didn’t get anywhere close to doubling on this one. At what point would you have switch machines or moved up to $1 denom?

How to iD low volatility slot machines

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Cowboy Slots channel has many videos on that subject that you can watch:)

[@stephaniehall8179]

Its very hard to double up on a .25 cent machine. I only play those slots to waste time before heading home 😂

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’re learning that firsthand:)

[@twodalec]

Watching this I’m really rooting for you guys. I want to try this method at my local casino. My previous way of playing was to cash out if I double or better. And quit if I lose half. I’ve had mixed results but mostly break even. Cowboy slots has helped Me be better at choosing a low volatile machine.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’ve learned a lot from Cowboy Slots, too. So disappointed that it didn’t work out for us, but we’ll keep trying:) How much do you start with when you either double or quit after losing half? What’s your local casino?

I tried the method at the $.25 machine. I won $1000. Then I went to the $1.00 machine and played Thunder Cash. $5 max bet and lost it. I didn’t walk away like I should have.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Oh no! You lost all of it? I’ve always wanted to play Thunder Cash at max bet, but our machines are way more than we’re willing to spend for max. And that game can be a real heartbreaker!

Thunder cash is high volatility game so I shouldn’t have played that game.

[@wildthang68]

He said it should be a 5 credit max bet machane also i dont know if that makes a big difference or not it must or he probly wouldnt have said it

[@TheMidlifeRide]

This was a 3 credit max bet machine. He said “no more than 5 credits max bet” so we interpreted that as any max up to 5 credits. Also, he posted a video on his channel of a woman in Atlantic City winning big on the 3 credit max. I think it’s a pinned comment in the video we have linked in the description if you want to check it out:)

Would for example a Triple Stars 25 cent slot have the same program chip as a 5 dollar Triple Stars machine seems like the 25 cent one is very volatile as you would say thx

That’s a good question. We would guess the payback percentages would be different. Cowboy Slots would surely know!

[@debfore8619]

Did he say play 5 quarters? Very frustrating I bet. Thanks for the video

What we believe he said was to play UP TO 5 credits, or no more than 5 credits max at the 25 cent denom. I’ve seen others play and win on 3 credits. But, I definitely think we’ll try 5 if we do this again. Seems like it would be easier to win with multiple lines. Yes, it was pretty frustrating. Thanks for watching:)

@@TheMidlifeRide He did say no more than 5 credits max and "for this example you will be playing max".

I think you need to lower your winning expectations. If you start with $100 on a $5 bet to walk away with $200, using that same ratio for a 75¢ bet you should walk away once you make over $15. I hope it makes sense and wish y’all the best of luck!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

The way we normally play, we cash out with much less! We’ll take anything over what we put in the machine. Sometimes, if we’ve been up and down for awhile, and get back up to our original investment, we walk away. Free entertainment!!!

Sorry to say this, but that is not Cowboy method. You didn’t even follow step 1 correctly. You should be betting 5 credits max not 3. If the machine only have max bet 3 than it’s not the right one. Step 1: $100 play until $200 25 cent machine, 5 lines, max bet no more than 5 Ex. Triple Star, triple double diamond, wild cherries (not triple cherry!) Step 2: Reached $200, move up to a $1 machine. Insert $100, single bet, play until $300. Step 3: Reached $300, move up to a $5 machine. Insert $200, single bet, play until $400.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

When he first starts talking about step one, he says 25 cents, NO MORE THAN 5 credits max. He later says 5 credits, 5 lines.

25¢ machines stink bc you cant make enough to get to the next level unless you are extremely lucky. Looks like this mach is balanced and will not pay out a big pot. A lot of people play 25¢ slots with 3X. Cowboy says look for a 25¢ with X5 bet.

These slots are painful to play now that we have all the new video slots, But I have been playing them also just to mix it up. In maybe 10-15 sessions. I've had 2 big wins $2-$3 spins over $1000.00 but no hand pays? One session I did cash out $1400.00 though on triple double diamonds hit the triple double red sevens and some other smaller hits, and the machine was just on a roll. Right timing is what that is about. I think personally, move around after $50.00 on a small bankroll from my experience. I can't tell you how many times I've played $100 down to $50 and brought it back to $150 or $200 just changing machines. If a machine is going to hit and it will hit sooner than later. And if you have a small bankroll you have to spread the wealth over more machines to give yourself a chance

[@TheMidlifeRide]

They can be pretty boring, but when you’re losing, so are the new flashy games! When you say you won on $2-$3 spins, is that max bet? What denom?

[@TheTylerjoy04]

Yah, Cowboy Slots Method SUCKS!! I've Tried So Did My Wife, My Coworkers & Few Of My Friends & Nothing.. I'm An Auto Technician By Trade, I Work Cars.. I Can Fix Them BUT I Can't Not Control The Program Or Change Them,Only The Manufacturer & Casino Can.. Same As The Cowboy Slots. He Can Fix Them But Cannot Change The Program.. And Just For The Record, Heard It From A Retired Slot Attendant, They Can Keep Track On Your Play, Only When You Use Your Player's Card.. That's All I'm Saying..There's More To That, But Keeping It To My Self & I Promise The Person I Just Keep It To My Slef..😁

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Sorry to hear that you haven’t had any luck either. We knew there were no guarantees, but we seemed to lose our money much quicker than when we play using our own strategy. I always wonder if we’d have better luck if we don’t put our players card in the machine.

[@Redmoom]

It was painful listening to you being all negative. The idea is to enjoy gambling within your budget. The guy said it doesn't always work and that this method allows a person to spend more time playing than loosing it all quickly with the chance of building up to higher machines & payouts.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We enjoy gambling our way. This method, in our experience, didn’t prolong our play or give us a chance to play higher denoms. We’ve done steps 1-3 now and it is clearly not the method for us.

[@jeffreyfarmer7883]

He said on the video I watched to play on a 5 line quarter machine

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We heard him say “no more than 5 credits max.”

[@jlnriddick]

@@TheMidlifeRide YEs he did, but in the next breath he said, " you're going to be playing the max bet, so find a .25 cent machine with 5 lines!

[@williambowen3186]

Leave "come on"out of you conversations and you'll be way more positive,need that positivity,right.Change machines

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Will that make us luckier?

[@donade3241]

Casino makes most of I ts money from Penny and Quarter machines Odds of winning are virtually nil.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

They’ve taken more of our money on $1 and $5 denoms and it’s gone in a flash. Even if we lose at the lower denoms, we’re able to entertain ourselves for a longer period of time. We’re just not lucky so we’re in it to play as long as possible without risking a ton of money.

[@go_Rogue]

I cringe everytime you say "awe come on" especially when it's the 1st spin after a winning spin. You should try this technique on a multi line low volatility game.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

I prefer the multi-line, but most of the ones at Cosmo aren’t on his recommended slots list. There is one 5 credit Double Diamond, but it is usually taken. There are a few more that are 9 or 15 credits near the high limit, but we never made it that far.

[@swat007jp]

That’s what she said was my favorite part 😂

[@paulamaslow4298]

Personally I don't think it should be called a "method" instead I think it should be referred to as the way he plays because when you say a method people think that if I do it that way even though he is clear that it's not going to be a success story all the time they think that more often than not they're going to end up getting a head that is just not the way at the casino

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We understand what you mean. We have to admit we were overly optimistic before the 1st attempt, but we should have known better!

[@sydlyntwolovin1272]

Quarter machines take your money and don't pay much. I don't think this method will work unless you get lucky on all machines. I start at $1 machines unless I just feel like playing pennies

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We just tried $1 denom on our last trip:) Trying the Cowboy Slots Low Budget Method Step 2 to Build Your Bankroll and Get a Handpay kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKccp-Gipytb5o

Still not his method!!!! 25c 5 credit Machine. Feel like you’re trying to prove his method doesn’t work. His method works plenty on correct machines and denominations. You might as well be doing penny slots. Not impressed w your content.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

He says “no more than 5 credits max.” But, if you’re only looking for videos with 5 credits, we tried that here: Trying the Cowboy Slots Handpay Method on a 5 Line Double Diamond in Las Vegas | Step 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vTdZWZhaaBiqs P.S. we are not trying to prove his method doesn’t work.

[@jenniferbutler180]

It wants you to put another 100 in it

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Lol! No chance!

[@wendydiederich317]

@ The Midlife Ride these machines also when very well on two coins. what I do is watch where the triples are either three coins or two if it's not paying on three coins I would have switched to two coins at that point and maybe played $20 I think you would have won better on two coins. My experience with this machine is you can play hundreds of dollars on three coins and win nothing but the minute you switch to two it's just went after when I would try that next time just a little suggestion Thanks for the video

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@SIMCOMotorsportsTV]

I would have started at $1 denom and then went to $2 denom after doubling since the progressive jackpots typically are only valid for the higher denoms at max bet. Anything at 50c or below really isn't worth it.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Yeah, not much luck on the smaller denoms. We did try $1 on our next trip, didn’t even bother with 25 cent. Thanks for watching:) Trying the Cowboy Slots Low Budget Method Step 2 to Build Your Bankroll and Get a Handpay kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKccp-Gipytb5o

[@scotthogan6891]

Listen to me carefully the first thing I want you to say to yourself is not me it's not about whether you're good people or not it's about the machine that you're playing every machine is different you need to go check a different machine out because this one's not working for you good luck

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We only stayed to test his method. We wish there were more of these machines around but they’re pretty hard to find. We normally only put $20 in a machine and then move along.

[@susieturk1]

I always start with the five line quarters. I get up enough, i'm satisfied and I leave. I haven't stepped to the second step yet.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We tried a five line in another video. Trying the Cowboy Slots Handpay Method on a 5 Line Double Diamond in Las Vegas | Step 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vTdZWZhaaBiqs

[@CecilKersh-ye5ns]

😢most of the videos they show on utube are big commerical for the casino. I have hit one handpay on double Dimond $1.00 dem.,but not like they play. You have to play a machine no more then three plays and if you do nothing move on to the next machine. Hope this helped. Big C

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Were you playing max $5 per spin? How much did you start with and how long until you hit the handpay?

[@andrewmcqierry4542]

It worked for me

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Glad to hear it!

[@anniesmith2]

He also told you to take your winnings and go to another machine. You can’t just let it take your last dollar. This is your third try….clearly it is not working this way for you.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Can you provide the time stamp in his video where he says this? We must have missed it. We really didn’t have any winnings to move and there’s no guarantee another machine would be any better.

[@anniesmith2]

I rewatched the original video and he does not say anything there. I did find the one I did see and it was called PUT to the TEST….Mid to High Volatile Slot. (Same guys) That is what he did. Made a quick profit on the first hit and then went to the next machine. Watch that video….I see you made another two videos. I really felt bad for you after the first 3. Anyways, all the best to you and hope you win next time.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@anniesmith2 thanks for the info. I’ll check it out:) And thanks for wishing us good luck - we really need it!

[@HopeLamb-i7c]

The higher the play the higher %, it would have been interesting to see rThem switch to a $1

[@TheMidlifeRide]

$1 is step 2 of his method. We might skip straight to that one next time we try.

[@andrewmcqierry4542]

75 c is not what cowboy said not following directions perfectly just saying

[@TheMidlifeRide]

He said 25 cent denom with a max bet no more than 5 credits. We tried both the 3 credit max and the 5 credit max. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vTdZWZhaaBiqssi=WN-LLXZ9g9cnpye5

[@paranormaltester2036]

Didnt cowboy slots say five line quarter max? Making it 1.25?

[@TheMidlifeRide]

What we believe he said was to play UP TO 5 credits, or no more than 5 credits max at the 25 cent denom. I’ve seen others play and win on 3 credits and Cowboy Slots pinned a link to one in his comment section. But, I definitely think we’ll try 5 if we do this again. Seems like it would be easier to win with multiple lines.

[@jlnriddick]

@@TheMidlifeRide Watch the video again. You'll clearly hear him say to play the max bet of 5 credits. He was basically setting the stage when he said find a machine with "up to" 5 credits.

[@agentlemind5282]

I think you guys were on the wrong machine. if you spend $50 on a machine with no line hits, your supposed to cash out and change machines. Plus if you play max bet, your line hits would pay out higher. Good luck next time.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’ve started moving machines since our first round of attempts. We did play max bet. This was a 25 cent, 3 credit max machine. We also tried a 5 line, 5 credit max in another video. Thanks for watching:)

[@walterbrakey4788]

I like this machine but at $1 one I hit 1400 jacketpot on

[@TheMidlifeRide]

@@walterbrakey4788 Nice! We’ve had a little luck at $1 denom, but not that much.

[@laimaz6340]

Switch denominations if one isn’t working. The quarters must be overplayed

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Maybe we’ll try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion:)

[@melvernthompson2682]

I thought you were suppose to try this method on a $1 denom at $5 max bet? ( On this machine with $100 bank roll)

[@TheMidlifeRide]

This was step 1 of his method, 25 cent denom, no more than 5 credits max. I don’t think any step calls for $1 denom at max bet. Step 2 is $1 denom, 1 credit and then it jumps to $5 denom, 1 credit. Does he have another method?

[@kennygordon6884]

wasn't the key to step 1 was .25 cent machine with $1.25 max bet. you picked the wrong type of machine.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

He said no more than 5 credits max, so we did 3 because it was all that was available. But, we later tried a 5 credit, 5 line. Trying the Cowboy Slots Handpay Method on a 5 Line Double Diamond in Las Vegas | Step 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vTdZWZhaaBiqs

[@muzzafuzza8109]

Ain’t you supposed to have done 5 lines max bet on the .25? Pretty sure it would a been more evidence if you done it the way it says

[@TheMidlifeRide]

[@LisbethSeeley]

I think if you would use a one dollar bill and cash out every time you got fifteen credits you would leave with more than one hundred

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Probably so!

[@Harrwood]

I think his way works, however doubling 100 on a 75 cent bet isn’t realistic.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We agree. We usually put in $20 and cash out when we’re up. I think if we had done that, we might have collected an extra $100 over time.

[@mikedingas9934]

I tried this method recently at Treasure Bay in Biloxi. No luck at all. Boring exercise at best.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Sorry you didn’t have any luck either. Losing is very boring to us:)

It's too bad you didn't stop half way through your money and tried your own method to see which method worked the best.

As I was watching this video, I was surprised at how no triples came up with 2 7's.

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We’re never surprised. We are usually very unlucky!

[@scotthogan6891]

It's not the system it's the machine when you spin say more than six times and you don't get any line hits probably need to move to a different machine but it's not I quote not thank you

We will definitely move next time if the machine isn’t hitting!

hey said 25 cent 5 credit max maybe thats why ,, you would have won more when you hit that tripple and got 40$

What ever U do do not leave that machine it’s kickin back very well every few it’s paying better then blanks

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We actually won a little bit on this same machine just before we filmed this. We only put in $20 though and cashed out as soon as we were up!

[@pamcampbell2772]

My conclusion on this method is that it is hard to double your money on a quarter machine unles you get a really good hit If not maybe it’s not your day

[@TheMidlifeRide]

Next time, we’ll probably skip to step 2, $1 denom.

[@scotthogan6891]

This is not going over to the 18 machine and drawing out money this is gambling
