The truth is that there is no trick to slot machines. They provide random results based on set mechanics and it all comes down to luck. With that being said, not all games are the same, so picking the right options is key, and you can still change the size of the bet throughout the session for better results.
The probability of winning on any spin of the game is set by the game's program, and nothing you can do will affect that. The game is always set so that in the long run the machine will pay out less than what is wagered.
