When choosing an online slot machine to gamble, there are a few important factors a player should always consider.

One of the most important considerations is picking an online casino with a good track record of slot machine payout percentages.  This means you should look for only those casinos which consistently hit no lower than 95% for their monthly slot machine averages.

Of course, you will not know what a machine is paying out for the current month (payout reports are audited findings generated a month thereafter), but, if you research the previous months, you will be able to gauge a fair assessment of the payout percentage range you should expect.

If you see any months that deliver payouts below 95%, you should search out other online casinos. Always keep in mind the payout percentage is a long-term average that will usually not reflect on a single betting session.

In terms of land-based casinos, many machines will be posted with signs saying "payout percentage up to ...%". Try to stay away from these machines since you are far more likely to get the payout that is below the "up to" value.  Rather, look for those slots that say "payout percentage is ...%"
