I was under the impression that you can only get to the bonus rounds on many machines by hitting a max bet on that line. Doesn't that (edit: i.e., only playing one coin) change the house edge? (Expect this to happen if you try it.)
I have played thousands of hands/spins with 1 coin on VP and slots (that was the best strategy for the games).
I never had anyone say anything to me anything like that.
I’ve been playing slots at 1c/spin.
You might look back in the video poker section. One of my usual haunts has a few 1c multi-line machines where $20 will last for days. The blue-haired chain smoking old ladies love it. (3 line, 15c max bet! Great camaraderie; lots of friendly ribbing between the high rollers on that bank.)
The big problem is that the paytables are severely clipped, 6/5 JoB for example. You either need to hit a lot of low hands (2 pairs, 3oaks), or a lot of high hands (4oaks or better).
You can see videos of the Wizard playing slots at 5c/spin. I'm sure the Wizard would approve of 1c/spin.
As for being approached by people. It's happened lots of times to me. I think the general slots population are not used to seeing people play 1c/spin and that's why it sparks their curiosity.
It also provides insight into why people play slots. The fact that lots of people have told me that I wont win by playing 1c/spin says that a part of the reason people are playing slots is to win money.
And that is one of the other things I'm doing as well; I want to understand why people gamble. Particularly the psychology of slots players. There might be some good that will come out of it.

I figured you must be inviting comments or acting unusual when you're playing because normally sloties don't usually noticed anything but big wins.
If I seen someone doing this next to me, I would think
A) they just don't know what they are doing
B) they are really really broke/cheap/board looking for free drinks
C) they were rounding off extra credits to avoid getting paid pennies
In the mean time do a google search why people play slots, tons of information . Apparently it's like crack.
C) they were rounding off extra credits to avoid getting paid pennies
Personally, I look for older higher-denomination machines that don't accept fractional credits, and will print out a separate ticket for any fractional credits rather than stacking them.
Around here, at least, a lot of the $1 3-reel 1-line machines haven't been updated with the newer firmware to accept pennies. 1 ticket in, 2 tickets out.

I've even been asked by people 'Do you want my machine?' It certainly does raise a lot of questions. But, I've never had any problems by staff and that's the important part.
I have found you get different types of slot players. Some are really talkative and others are dead silent.
The worst of the lot are the old women. Don't get me started on them... :)

I would worry about the quality of that evidence. At least I know the people around me are genuine.
Another question I ask myself; Are the people sane? Watching someone playing $5/spin who you know can't really afford it...
It could be a madhouse. ;)
a lot of the $1 3-reel 1-line machines.
Are very boring after 20 minutes. Imagine playing 10 hrs on a double diamond progressive machine. NOT FUN.The return of Big Bertha
By Frank Scoblete
In a former column I discussed the evolution of the slot machine over an approximately 130-year period beginning in 1890-91 with the Sittman and Pitt mechanical device, which ruled the bar scene for a few years only to be replaced by Charles Fey’s true slot machine, the Liberty Bell, in about 1893.
Other unscrupulous manufacturers imitated Fey’s machine and some even had the gall to call their machines the Liberty Bell. These machines became the gambling gold mine for bar and saloon owners (what’s the difference between a bar and a saloon?).Then came fruit machines (“he got a lemon!”) called Gumball machines and these became the rage for a while.
Then we went through a sweep of the remaining evolutionary movements of the slots from the electromechanical Bally machines, be- ginning with the Money Honey, to the computerized video slots, video poker, digital slots and coinless slots. Gigantic jackpots were and now are available to slot players and the casinos are quite content with the money channeled to them from their slot aisles.
All that takes us up to a few days ago.
Now, dear readers, a new moment is about to explode on the slot scene; a moment of which even the casinos might not be aware. It’s a monster moment that had its germination long ago with a machine called Big Bertha.
Slot players know all about the Big Bertha type of machines and almost all of these players avoid them as these machines are a true sucker’s bet. They are for the casino tourists, so to speak.
Big Berthas can be as tall as or taller than the great former NBA player Yao Ming who stood 7’6”.They are as wide as a truck. They are the first monster machines of the casino landscape. And they have been around for a long, long time, much the way dinosaur fossils had hardened in the ground over the centuries waiting to be discovered and explode upon the world in the 1800s.
But the day of the new monster slots has now arrived.
I just returned from Atlantic City’s magnificent Ocean Casino Resort where I saw the digging up of the spectacular fossils of Big Berthas. Now these fossils, unlike the ones of the long dead dinosaurs, are alive, kicking and thriving. The new machines are like the dinosaurs of the books and movie Jurassic Park – alive! They are big, beautiful, sleek and thriving.
They are in groups of four – in circular carousels; or six, three on one side, three on the other side. There is plenty of room between carousels and between the half-dozen on all sides. Players are not suffocated by aisles of seemingly countless machines all squished with one another.
What makes our new monsters stunning is their height; somewhat taller than Yao Ming’s size. They require all players to look up even; no matter how tall such players might be. Their colors and contours, a slight curving of the facade as they reach for the sky, makes them look as if they were created by the best special effects department of Marvel movies. These machines are great for the players too, as the freedom from the crowds is a much-preferred situation than being crammed in. Their imposing heights make players feel special merely by playing these behemoths.
Are these machines good for the casinos’ bottom lines? I think so. They actually don’t spread out on the floor but rather up they stretch into the air, a place never utilized within the houses of Lady Luck. That rarified atmosphere is their domain. And other than perhaps a slight increase in the charge for creating such air-sniffing creatures, the cost difference between regular miniature slots and one of these giants is probably relatively minor.
And I would think worth every extra penny needed to create a horde of them for every casino.
These slot machines – call them what you will, be they monsters, behemoths, skyscrapers, leviathans, Nephilim, Goliaths, Bertha’s beautiful babies – are merely the call to the future for anyone who enjoys slot play.
Seriously, why play any other machine? Why crowd yourself in with the legions of slot players when you can have the airy comforts of being with the giants? Heck, you are what you hang out with. So why not be a giant? It is easy to join their company; just sit down and play one of these machines.
Let me use an automobile analogy as my last example of this new slot revolution that you should join. Think of these giant machines as the SUVs of slots – as in bigger is far better. There’s a reason why our roads are crammed with such giant cars. They make people feel powerful. However, unlike the SUVs, the monster slots cause no harm to the roads or egos of other drivers. They are there for your pleasure and your pleasure only.
So, in closing, why not jump on these new slot machines. If more players play them then more of these machines will appear in the casinos. And that will be excellent to the slot-playing public.
Give them a try and enjoy.
All the best in and out of the casinos!
