How to Win Millions Playing Slots from The Slot Guru

Some people say winning a slot machine jackpot is just the luck of the draw, but our next guest says he has a tried and true method to success. I'd like to know. Here with us now, I know. What we're gonna find out here with us is Ernest Cobb, aka The Slot Guru, who flew in today all the way from Detroit, Michigan. So thanks for making the trip. Only the best for the CT style. Oh, thank you. All right. See, look at that. All right, so how much money have you won, Ernest? I've won just a little bit over $10 million since 2005. 10 million? In jackpots, yes sir. Oh my gosh. But you have given a lot of it away. I have over $8 million. I've given away to strangers. And, you know, just from my heart. How do you pick these people out? Do you just see them in the casino and say, hey, here's a million? Random casinos. I mean, random people. And it's inside the casino and outside the casino. You know, that brings the good karma to my gaming. So that's kind of what helps you? You just- It does. I think it does because if I hit a jackpot and someone isn't hitting a jackpot, for me to just give them 100 or $200 and I just won $50,000, come on. That's the best that I can do. And nine times out of 10, it's an elderly person. So that's one of the secrets, give back here? One of the secrets is to give back, to love people more than you love money. All right, so let's talk about your casino experience. How often do you go? I go once or twice a month. So that's not really a lot- That's it. To be getting these big jackpots. Well, I go and I stay probably two or three days. If I'm gaming good, I stay about two or three days, max betting, doing my thing, so- Max betting, that's the key there, right? Yes, ma'am. That's one of the keys is to max bet because if you hit a jackpot and you're not max betting, you won't get that top dollar amount. What else do you have to do? I mean, you max bet, do you have to stay on the same machine? Do you move around? Well, no, I move around a lot. I play over eight machines, sometimes 10 or 12 machines at a time. So you have to be like an octopus. You have to have eight arms. Sort of, kind of, with the exception of you gotta move instead of your arms just moving. Yes, sir, yep. So you have a lot of your tricks here in your book. When was this published? The book was published in 2009, December 2009. And we're kind of talking about your experience in the casinos. Talking about my experiences, talking about what I do inside the casino and outside the casino as well. Very important, I mean, to actually master loving people more than you love money is something that's not easy to do. That's gotta be hard to do, especially, say you win $10 million. I can see where you can get wrapped up in that pretty easily and, you know, it kind of takes over. You came more than half of that away. Right, I mean, and that's because of my belief. I don't wanna get off into the religion and nothing like that, I just believe in God. You know, I play when I play slots like most people do. You know, I'm just like an everyday person with the exception I hit extreme jackpots. Wow. And this has happened many times? Many times. Most of the time when I go into a casino, I probably do 100 to 200,000 in jackpots. And then sometimes I also lose. So, you know, the book covers how to handle winning and how to handle losing as well. How do you handle losing? Well, you leave. You run. You cut your losses for that day, right? You cut your losses and a lot of times when I'm playing slots and I'm having a bad day and I'm noticing that the money is not one of those days, I stop from playing slots and just go around the casino giving away money, you know. And what's some of your reaction when you do hit a jackpot? Are you like used to it? Do you even get excited anymore? No, you can never get used to hitting a jackpot because the adrenaline rushes through the roof. And that's something that the slots have given me, you know, to be able to hit a jackpot and do 70, 75,000 on one hit of the button is what most people don't make in a year. So I go and I take that. And then I go on a giving spree. So how about, let's say for instance, hypothetically speaking, Teresa and I go to either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun tonight, which I think you should come with us, I'm just saying, or maybe some of our viewers and we can hang out with Ernest tonight. But say we go in there, what are some of the things that we should look out for when we get on the gaming floor? As soon as you get on, as soon as I get on the gaming floor, I'm gonna find out for one, where high stakes are, is, you know, and then I'm gonna look at each slot machine because everybody can't afford high stakes. So I'm gonna look at the nickels and the pennies, and then I'm gonna look at the dollar amount that you can actually win in a jackpot. So if a top dollar amount, let's just say is 300,000 credits on nickels, well, or on pennies, that's what I wanna go for. And, you know, with the casinos, they don't, you know, me, I don't think casinos cheat. I think they're awesome. You know, and I, you know, the slot machine. Well, obviously, if you won 10 million, I would think they're pretty awesome as well. Ernest, what's your website? It's theslotguru.com. And we can find some tips there, too, along with your book?
