A method and a device for anti-slip control, in particular, for traction control, in a motor vehicle, in which, in a first operating mode, a braking force is applied individually to each driving wheel with a tendency to spin to reduces its slip, and in which, in a second operating mode, an output quantity of the driving motor is additionally reduced if two driving wheels on the same axle show a tendency to spin, thereby avoiding, in an especially reliable manner, unwanted switching from the first to the second operating mode. A switch from the first to the second operating mode takes place no earlier than the end of a first waiting time that is selected in proportion to the difference between the braking forces applied to the two driving wheels with a tendency to spin and occurs after the tendency to spin of the second driving wheel is detected.
