Casino/Best Time For Slots

[mrpayroll]

The outcome of each spin of any Slot machine is dependent on a Random Number Generator (RNG). The RNG is a computer that generates thousands of numbers per second. When the reels spin, they land on numbers that correspond to characters or pictures on the reels. If the combination on the reels is a winning one, you will get paid a certain number of coins based on the combo. If the combination is not a winning one, you lose your bet.

Although Slots have a Random Number Generator, they really aren’t that random. Slot machines are preset to pay out at different intervals and over a period of time. Payout percentages for Slots, as with Video Poker, are normally in the high 90s range. This doesn’t mean that if you play on a slot machine at any given time you will receive 90% of your wagers back. Wouldn’t you Slot lovers just love that! What it really means is that, over a period of time, 90% of all the coins entered into a Slot machine will be paid out. It also means that the machine needs to collect a certain amount of money first before it will pay out at the pre-programmed percentage. When a payout does come, it may come in the form of a JACKPOT but, more often than not, it comes in a random, fluctuating fashion.

Another interesting thing about Slots is that they are pre-programmed to tease you. Let’s say you’re playing Triple 7s on a 3 line Slot machine. At certain times, you may get two 7s on two reels while the third reel has a different character or number. This is a teaser and the machine is pre-programmed in this way so that you become inclined to keep on playing in the hopes of hitting three 7s. And, of course, the more you play, the more money you are likely to lose.

If you think about these facts, you will see that Slots are not random. There is no skill involved. You are playing in the hopes that the pre-programmed machine will pay you more than you put in or that you hit a Jackpot. Bear in mind that one (or very rarely both) of these will only happen IF the machine has already acquired a certain number of coins and the payout percentage has been reached.

I agree with this. There was a special on the travel channel , and this is how they explained how slots work. Good Luck.....

Won my biggest jackpot ($225 on a penny machine) on our last sea day. Broke even most of the rest of the week, but as a veteran of Atlantic City I agree with the advice to quit while you are ahead!
