The period of time usually is over the lifetime of the machine.  Nicely generic term used by casino's for their own benefit.

 The only way you can win at slots is to get very lucky one time, and quit playing forever.  

NO casino game is beatable in the long run.

  And I would bet that the payoffs are also much lower than they advertise.

I win at slots consistently some huge payouts.
But only at atlantic city because they are governed by state to have an 18% take over all.

Here in PA i have thier take at 55% and i'm down $750 over past 8 months.

Last month went to A C played 7 card stud $5 - 10$ limit 8 hours i won $575 so late night decided to play the slots went to nickle slots 9 lines you can bet 1 coin per line up to 5 I play it 3 per line/

I use the 5 pull method up to 10 pulls to determine frequency of hits

IF i hit anything in 5 pulls and 10 puls I stay on that machine.

I also play Craps on the floor and thats my only games i play on casino floors

Possible -Yes

The only one who wins longterm at Slots has a Monkeyspaw/Lightrod if they even work anymore.

I no longer play them and no longer go to that casino although I hit 4 jackpots last year at video poker.  I would recommend playing blackjack, craps, video poker, or poker.  I don't have much luck at blackjack anymore either.  So I pretty much just go to play in the poker tourneys.  If I don't win anything I go home.

Whats misleading is the signs that say like 90% or 99% payback.  Most states there only has to be one slot machine in the casino that pays that.  The rest could only pay back 25% or 30%.   Slots are a waste of money if you play you should play high denomination ones as they keep less money.  Like the $100 dollar machines.  But I would stick to card games or video poker or not recommend going.  If you live in vegas sports is fine to.

THERE'S NOT A CASINO IN THE US THAT HAS 25 TO 30% PAYOUTS. THEY WOULD BE CLOSED DOWN

I respectfully disagree sir.

I have a Blackjack system where I play two hands, keep a Tens count, and a separate count for Aces.  Wagers vary from $25 to $150 accordingly.  I usually only make one trip per month.  The last four trips were all winning ventures and earned me over $3400.

 I believe you, but why stop at one trip per month?  If it is profitable, you should be playing multiple times per week.  And you still have a very short sample size of winnings.

Goose, I wish you continued success, as I hate the greedy casinos, but I think your luck will shortly run out.  I say this because I have known SEVERAL people over the years who have had MUCH greater runs in blackjack than you, only to give it all back, plus MUCH more shortly thereafter.

I am not greedy.  I take what the casino is willing to give on that particular day.  More than one trip each month would be pushing the envelope.  It would also be inviting the casino to confront me, something I would like to avoid at all costs. (I am banned for life at Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods is my only local escape)  I show them that we dine at their restaurants, tip the dealers, and leave with a modest profit.  Foxwoods sees me as no major threat and it needs to stay that way.

I'm guessing you are using the Hi-Lo count ?

I don't get to Vegas much anymore, hit AC maybe 3 times a year, but when I do I play at Caesars.  I get no heat at all and as long as I don't go over $200 a hand, they couldn't care less. Hell, in fact the pit boss will sometimes will ask me what the count is and I ask them which one ? Uston, Zen or REKO
