Slot machines by country[edit]

Australia[edit]

In Australia 'poker machines' or 'pokies' are officially termed gaming machines. Australian-style gaming machines frequently use video displays to simulate physical reels, usually five. These machines have additional bonusing and second-screen features such as free games and bonus levels. They also allow for multiple lines (up to 200) or multiple ways (up to 3,125) to be played.

On multiway games, players play the entire position of each reel instead of fixed lines or patterns. For instance, if a player plays 1 reel on a 243 way game, they receive three symbols in the first reel which pay anywhere in the three positions, while all other reels pay in the centre only, with unused areas darkened. On the other end of the scale, if the player plays 5 reels, symbols can appear anywhere in the window and will pay as long as there is one in each reel. Most games however still require the symbols appearing left to right, sometimes this even includes scatters. Scatter symbols still pay the same as per conventional games, multiplying their pay amount by the total bet and the number of ways/reels played. Other multiway games give you even more ways by using a 4x5 or 5x5 pattern, where there are up to 5 symbols in each reel, allowing for up to 1,024 and 3,125 ways to win respectively. Aristocrat calls these games Xtra Reel Power and Super Reel Power respectively. These games typically cost more than their 243 way Reel Power counterparts. Recently, IGT has also started to manufacture multiway games. Gaming machine manufacturer Konami Australia also made an alternative way of gaming by using patterns, where symbols pay adjacent to one another. Most of these games have a hexagonal reel formation, and much like multiway games, any patterns not played are darkened out of use. On both systems, scatter symbols still pay in the darkened areas just like standard machines where scatters don't have to appear on a payline.

The laws regulating the use of gaming machines in Australia are a matter for state governments, and as such they vary between States.

Gaming machines are found in casinos (approximately one in each major city) as well as pubs and clubs in some states (usually sports, social, or RSL clubs). The first Australian state to legalize this style of gambling was New South Wales in 1956 when they were made legal in all registered clubs in the state. There are suggestions that the proliferation of poker machines has led to increased levels of problem gambling; however, the precise nature of this link is still open to research.^[1]

In 1999 the Australian Productivity Commission reported that Australia had nearly 185,000 poker machines, more than half of which were in New South Wales. This figure represented 20% of comparable machines in the world or 2.4% of all the varying gambling and prize based machines in the world (excluding those that are illegal),^[1] and on a per capita basis, Australia had roughly five times asmany gaming machines as the United States. Revenue from gaming machines in pubs and clubs accounts for more than half of the $4 billion in gambling revenue collected by state governments in fiscal year 2002 – 03^[2]

In Queensland, gaming machines in pubs and clubs must provide a return rate of 85% while machines located in casinos must provide a return rate of 90%.^[3] Most other states have similar provisions.

In Victoria, gaming machines must provide a minimum return rate of 85% (including jackpot contribution), including machines in Crown Casino. As of December 1, 2007, all gaming machines with support for $100 notes were banned due to an amendment to the gaming laws; all gaming machines made since 2003 comply with this rule. This new law also banned machines which would automatically play with the button held. One exception to these laws exists in Crown Casino, any player with a VIP loyalty card can still insert $100 notes and use the autoplay feature, whereby the machine will continue to play without player intervention until credit is exhausted or the player intervenes. All gaming machines in Victoria have an information screen accessible to the user by pressing the 'i key' button, showing the game rules, paytable, return to player percentage, and the top and bottom five combinations, with the odds shown. These combinations are stated to be played on a minimum bet (usually 1 credit per line, with 1 line or reel played), excluding feature wins.

Western Australia only permits the use of particular forms of gaming machine in Burswood Casino, and no gaming machines may be used elsewhere. This policy (the most restrictive in Australia) had a long historical basis, and was reaffirmed by the 1974 Royal Commission into Gambling:

...poker machine playing is a mindless, repetitive and insidious form of gambling which has many undesirable features. It requires no thought, no skill or social contact. The odds are never about winning. Watching people playing the machines over long periods of time, the impressionistic evidence at least is that they are addictive to many people. Historically poker machines have been banned from Western Australia and we consider that, in the public interest, they should stay banned.

Japan[edit]

Japanese slot machines, known as pachisuro or pachislo (portmanteaus of the words 'pachinko' and 'slot machine'), are a descendant of the traditional Japanese pachinko game. Slot machines are a fairly new phenomenon and they can be found in mostly in pachinko parlors and the adult sections of amusement arcades, known as game centers.

The machines are regulated with integrated circuits, and have six different levels changing the odds of a 777. The levels provide a rough outcome of between 90% to an astonishing 160% (200% if using skills). Indeed, the Japanese slot machines are 'beatable'. The parlor operators naturally set most of the machines to collect money, but intentionally place a few paying machines on the floor so that there will be at least someone winning, encouraging players on the losing machines to keep gambling, using the psychology of the gambler's fallacy.^{[citation needed]}

Despite the many varieties of the machines, there are certain rules and regulations put forward by the 'Security Electronics and Communication Technology Association', an affiliate of the National Police Agency. For example, there must be three reels. Also, all reels must be accompanied by buttons which stop these reels, the reels may not spin faster than 80 revolutions per minute, and the reels must stop within 0.19 seconds of the button press. In practice, this translates to 'the machines can't let the reels slip more than 4 symbols'. Other rules include the following: no more than 15 coins can be paid out per play, credit meter can't go higher than 50, 3 coin maximum bet, etc.^{[citation needed]}

Although a 15 coin payout may seem ridiculously low, the regulations allow 'Big Bonus' (~400–711 coins) and 'Regular Bonus' modes (~110 coins) where these 15 coin payouts occur nearly continuously until the bonus mode is finished. While the machine is in bonus mode, the player is entertained with special winning scenes on the LCD display, and energizing music is heard, payout after payout.

Three other unique features of Pachisuro machines are 'Stock', 'Renchan', and tenjō (天井). On many machines, when enough money to afford a bonus is taken in, the bonus is not immediately awarded. Typically the game merely stops making the reels slip off the bonus symbols for a few games. If the player fails to hit the bonus during these 'standby games', it is added to the 'Stock' for later collection. Many current games, after finishing a bonus round, set the probability to release additional stock (gained from earlier players failing to get a bonus last time the machine stopped making the reels slip for a bit) very high for the first few games. As a result, a lucky player may get to play several bonus rounds in a row (a 'Renchan'), making payouts of 5,000 or even 10,000 coins possible. The lure of 'Stock' waiting in the machine, and the possibility of 'Renchan' tease the gambler to keep feeding the machine. To tease him further, there is a tenjō (ceiling), a maximum limit on the number of games between 'Stock' release. For example, if the tenjō is 1,500, and the number of games played since the last bonus is 1,490, the player is guaranteed to release a bonus within just 10 games.

Because of the 'Stock', 'Renchan', and tenjō systems, it is possible to make money by simply playing machines on which someone has just lost a huge amount of money. This is called being a 'hyena'. They are easy to recognize, roaming the aisles for a 'Kamo' ( 'sucker' in English) to leave his machine.

In short, the regulations allowing 'Stock', 'Renchan', and tenjō transformed the Pachisuro from a low-stakes form of entertainment just a few years back to hardcore gambling. Many people may be gambling more than they can afford, and the big payouts also lure unsavory 'hyena' types into the gambling halls.

To address these social issues, a new regulation (Version 5.0) was adopted in 2006 which caps the maximum amount of 'stock' a machine can hold to around 2,000–3,000 coins' worth of bonus games. Moreover, all Pachisuro machines must be re-evaluated for regulation compliance every three years. Version 4.0 came out in 2004, so that means all those machines with the up to 10,000 coin payouts will be removed from service by 2007. Only time will tell how these changes will affect the Japanese Pachisuro industry.

New Zealand[edit]

Slot machines, commonly called 'pokies', were introduced into New Zealand in 1991. A 2009 study linked the prevalence of slot machines with high crime levels.^[4]

United Kingdom[edit]

The provision of slot machines is covered by the Gambling Act 2005. This superseded the Gaming Act 1968.^[5]

Slot machines in the UK are categorised by definitions produced by the Gambling Commission as part of the legislation brought in with the Gambling Act of 2005.

Casinos built under the provisions of the 1968 Act are allowed to house up to twenty machines categories B to D or any number of C or D machines instead. As defined by the 2005 Act, large casinos will have a maximum of one hundred and fifty machines of any combination of machines in categories B to D, within the total limit of one hundred and fifty (subject to machine to table ratio of 5:1) and small casinos will have a maximum of eighty machines of any combination of machines in categories B to D, within the total limit of eighty (subject to machine to table ratio of 2:1).

Category A[edit]

Category A games were defined in preparation for the planned 'Super Casinos'. Despite a lengthy bidding process, with Manchester being chosen as the single planned location, the development was cancelled soon after Gordon Brown became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As a result, there are no lawful Category A games in the UK.

Category B[edit]

Category B games are divided into subcategories. However, the differences between B1, B3 and B4 games are mainly the stake and prizes as defined in the above table. Category B2 games – Fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) – have quite different stake and prize rules. FOBTs are mainly found in licensed betting shops, or bookmakers, in the form of electronic roulette.

The games are based on a random number generator (e.g. through the application of the uncertainty principle) and thus the probability of getting the jackpot in each game is independent of any other game, and these probabilities are all equal. If a pseudorandom number generator is used instead of one that is truly random, the probabilities are not truly independent, since each pseudorandom number is determined at least in part by the one generated before it.

Category C[edit]

Category C games are often referred to as fruit machines, one-armed bandits and AWP (amusement with prize). Fruit machines are commonly found in pubs, clubs, and arcades. Machines commonly have three reels, but can be found with four or five reels with around sixteen to twenty-four symbols printed around them. The reels are spun each play, and if certain combinations of symbols appear then winnings are paid by the machine, or a subgame is played. These games often have many extra features, trails and subgames with opportunities to win money; usually more than can be won from just the payouts on the reel combinations.

Fruit machines in the UK almost universally have the following features, generally selected at random using a pseudorandom number generator:

• A player (known in the industry as a punter) may be given the opportunity to hold one or more reels before spinning, meaning that the reel will not be spun at the next play, but will instead retain its setting at the previous spin. This can sometimes increase the chance of winning, especially if two or more reels are held.
• A player may also be given a number of nudges following a spin (or, in some machines, as a result in a subgame). A nudge is a single step rotation of a reel of the player's choice (although the machine may not allow all reels to be nudged for a particular play).
• Cheats can also be made available on the internet or through emailed newsletters for subscribers. These cheats give the player the impression of an advantage, whereas in reality the payout percentage remains exactly the same. The most widely used cheat is known as Hold after a nudge and increases the chance that the player will win following an unsuccessful nudge. The cheats give the player an incentive to play the latest games.^{[citation needed]}

It is known for machines to pay out multiple jackpots, one after the other (this is known as a streak or rave) but each jackpot requires a new game to be played so as not to violate the law about the maximum payout on a single play. The minimum payout percentage is 70%, with pubs often setting the payout at around 78%.

These machines also operate differently from truly random slot machines. The latter are programmed to pay a percentage over the long run. Fruit machines in the UK are usually based on a compensated mathematical model, which means that a machine that has paid out above its target percentage is less likely to pay out than were it to have paid out below that percentage.

United States[edit]

In the United States, the public and private availability of slot machines is highly regulated by state governments. Many states have established gaming control boards to regulate the possession and use of slot machines. Nevada is the only state that has no significant restrictions against slot machines both for public and private use. In New Jersey, slot machines are only allowed in hotel casinos operated in Atlantic City. Several states (such as Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana and Missouri) allow slot machines (as well as any casino-style gambling) only on licensed riverboats or permanently anchored barges. Since Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi has removed the requirement that casinos on the Gulf Coast operate on barges and now allows them on land along the shoreline. Delaware allows slot machines at three horse tracks; they are regulated by the state lottery commission. Illinois would legalize a wider expansion of video gambling outside casinos in 2009.^[6]

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act generally prohibits Native American casinos from offering 'Class III' gaming without entering into a tribal-state compact approved by the Department of the Interior. Class III gaming covers all other games that are not otherwise regulated as 'Class I' (traditional tribal social games played for small prizes) and 'Class II' (bingo and games 'similar to bingo' played competitively against other players, such as pull-tabs or punch boards, and explicitly excluding slot machines and card games played solely against the house) under the law.^[7] Class I and II games are regulated by the National Indian Gaming Commission and individual tribes, and do not require state approval to run if they already permit tribal gaming.^[7] As a workaround, gaming companies developed slot machines compliant with Class II operation, which abstract the result of an electronic bingo game (conducted between other players using a centralized computer system) to generate a pre-determined result for the reels as an entertainment display, allowing for a similar experience to an RNG-based 'Vegas-style' slot machine.^{[8][9][10][11]}

Some 'Instant Racing' or 'historic racing' games operate in a similar manner; their results and payouts are based upon wagers on the outcomes of previously-held horse races, using the parimutuel betting system. These machines also typically use slot reels as entertainment displays.^[12][13]

In some regions of the U.S., such as Pennsylvania, a variety of unregulated slot machines marketed as being a game of skill have become common, usually located in restaurants, bars, and convenience stores. They add a basic skill-based mechanic, requiring players to play a 'wild' on one of 9 symbols in a 3-by-3 grid to form a matching pay combination. The legality of these machines have been questioned, with critics having accused their manufacturers and operators of using the games to skirt gambling laws.^{[14][15][16][17][18]}

More and more Australian residents are growing addicted to online slots. The online slots, which are also called slot machines and pokies, particularly in Australia. These online slots are becoming more and more popular over time all over the world, especially in Australia. There are reasons why online slots casinos are so popular. The outcome of the games is unknown in advance and depends on the odds. This is what attracts players to play online casino slots. Vivid impressions and emotions during the game attract players for entertainment.

In addition to vivid emotions during the game, many people have the odds to win a huge amount of real money. There are many stories of gamblers whose stories about ways to win excite the mind; their lives have changed dramatically after the global winning jackpot in online slots. Below, you can see a list of the best online casino slots in Australia, from which you can choose the one that suits you best. They will allow you to enjoy your favourite online games. Besides, you will find a player manual that explains everything about slots in online casinos for a better understanding of online games.

History of Slots in Australia

Slots appeared in Australia in the 1900s. Sometime after the auto mechanic Charles Fey provided the world with a car called “Liberty Bell”, the era of slot began. It was the first slot with three spinning reels.

The principle of operation of the first slots was nearly the same as now: the reels with different symbols rotated after the player pressed the lever. If after this manipulation, three identical symbols appeared on the reels, the jackpot was drawn.

Of course, over time, while the popularity of slot g grew, the functions of the slot games also evolved. New symbols were developed to distinguish the new slot. And in 1934, the electronic slot flourished. With the restart of the slot movement in 1963, Bally Manufacturing changed the reel trigger to a button. More reels and winning systems were added later. Along with this, there appeared more options for placing bets and winning real money.

In Australia, a slot is called pokies. It so happened that earlier slot was often placed in clubs and bars next to video poker machines, which were popular among Australians, and since then, the slot has been called ‘pokies.’

Not so long ago, Australians who continuously played slot games were considered non-high society in the casino setting. Their payouts were small; they were not eligible for free spins or bonus rounds and extra games, and additional privileges such as lavish dinners or show programs were only available to the table games players. However, in recent years, everything has changed dramatically, when 70-80% of casino revenue began to be available on slots. This is the simplest game which consists of tossing a coin, pressing a button, and pulling a handle. Besides, there is no need to feel embarrassed when dealing with professionals who have been playing at the table games for a long time. Also, now the amount of jackpots in slot machine game has grown to such a size that it is considered the largest in a casino.

Types of online slots

Online casinos offer many types of online slots. These can be modern slots with excellent graphics and sound effects or with high odds of winning jackpots. Online slots have become nearly the most popular online casino games. One of the factors behind their popularity was the high win rate. However, the long term experience of playing online casino slot machine does not imply a lot of experience in real casino games and huge winnings, but you should not forget about a considerable loyalty system. There are many bonuses and different methods of service for online casino players, which makes your online slots game much more enjoyable and convenient than a real casino game.

To increase the chances of winning, you still need to know the rules of the game and the winning system. And since there are several types of online slots, you need to have an individual approach to each. Below, we will consider the differences in different types of online slots that you can find both in online casinos and real casino, as well.

Game Types

In addition to a classic slot machine with a familiar design and casino theme, there are different themes for playing slots. Each time, different titles and themes of the slot machine are invented and launched to attract more online players. People can choose their favourite slot machine with popular heroes. Appropriate graphics, favourite characters and narration are added to the slot machine.

Different types of slot machine reels

There are several types of reels for slots. Online casino players choose them for themselves, considering what type of gaming they prefer: simple or with different types of functions and combinations.

Five reel slots

The most popular type of slot machine among online casinos for real money. These five-reel slots offer many types of combinations, settings, bonuses, and customisable features. You can use free spins, with which you can win real money. Wild and Scatter symbols are a small part of the opportunities from a slot machine with five reels. And owners of online casinos are happy to attract players with such bonuses.

Now, in online casinos, five-reel type of slots are the most popular type of gaming. There is a wide range of opportunities for developers to expand the gaming types with different combinations, bonuses, and ratings that can be adapted for different segments of online players.

Three-reel slot machine

This is a classic type of slot. The slot consists of three reels. Accordingly, the number of prize combinations is significantly reduced than that of the five-reel type of slots. Almost all three slot reels offer a classic game with the traditional seven and BAR symbols. Due to its simplicity, the experience of playing the three-reel type of slots is not accumulated as fast as playing five-reel slots.

The advantage of the three reels slots is their simplicity. A small number of combinations for winning real money cannot involve any tricks during the gaming, and some do not involve tricks at all. For some, the three-reel slot machine may not seem the most exciting type of gaming. But over the years, this type of online slots has been popular precisely because of this advantage.

Paylines

The more reels in the slot machine games the player is playing, the more pay lines it is possible to activate. Which means the likelihood of winning is increased by increasing the odds for real money betting.

Progressive jackpots

Outwardly, this type of online slot machine does not differ from classic five-reel slots; however, progressive jackpot slots offer rather different payouts than another slot machine cannot afford. The winnings of the slot machine with progressive jackpots are much higher. Unlike other types of slot machine that operate separately from others, on their own, progressive jackpot slots form a network that is connected to the online casino. Thus, the amount of jackpot prize depends not on one player, but on everyone who plays this type of slots, increasing the number of winnings with their spins.

Let’s take a closer look at what exactly the progressive jackpot slot machine offers. These are four different sizes of the jackpots, for which you need to use different playing techniques. Of course, winning the biggest jackpots is difficult enough, but it can be real. This guess is confirmed by the story of the Briton jackpot, to whom the Mega Moolah slot paid out 13.2 million pounds in 2015. HAve a read on that rare occasion. To win seven-figure sums, players must follow the conditions of the progressive jackpots bet and place the required amount for it to pass correctly.

How to Play Online Slots

At first, it may seem that playing online slots is difficult. Its bright colours and many symbols can be confusing, and really confusing seems the game’s principle. However, it only seems like online slots are complicated. In fact, online casino slots games are as simple as the real-life slot games. Only they are more convenient.

The main essence of the slot machine games is to rotate the slot machine reel in anticipation of a good chance when the required number of identical symbols appears. Different combinations of symbols imply different amounts of real money winnings.

Each slot machine is individual in the selection of winning combinations, but the main point is always the same — spin the reel until the right combination of symbols appears, which will bring you a win, real money.

Features of the Online Slot

Having learned more about the different types of slots, one could notice how many options and functions an Australian slot machine can potentially include. There are countless types of features, bonuses and privileges, but they mostly fall within several basic types of features.

• Bonus games

In online casinos, you can unlock bonus spins by scatter symbols. With the help of bonus games, you can restart your game or start a new one.

• Wilds

This category of symbols is considered a feature of playing slot game for the reason that they can take on the value of any of other symbols—except for the bonus and scatters—and thus bring you closer to a prize combination.

• Free spins

Free spins on slots can be earned on an active game, in the event of a certain combination of reel symbols, or use the online casino bonus program. It requires money, but free spins give you a chance to win real money or use it for multipliers.

• Scatter symbols

To use them, you need to take advantage of the welcome bonuses, free spins and extra rounds and follow the pay lines.

• Skills button

Especially for players who are exploring different long term strategies for playing slot machines in search of the one that will lead them to win, the game developers have created a skill button that can be used at certain points in the game.

The first instructions created were controversial among the players. Someone argued that instructions do not affect the outcome of the game. The main point of the instructions was that by pressing a certain button, Australian players would be able to influence the course of the game in the form of prompts or the visible ability to stop the reel at a certain moment. This gives the appearance of controlling the progress of the game. Over time, the popularity of this button grew, and for this reason, more and more online slot game began to be equipped with a skill button.

• Multipliers

This system assumes the accumulation of prize combinations, as a result of which there is an opportunity to win the amount multiplied by the number of winning bets.

Benefits of Free Online Slots

It seemed that all the advantages of playing in an online casino are real money winnings without leaving your home. However, free online slot games also provide several more benefits. Previously, it was impossible to imagine playing slots without coming to a real casino, paying for a bet and spinning the reel. You couldn’t play just using your computer and a couple of clicks. Moreover, it was impossible to play for free. It is difficult to imagine a situation when in a real casino, you ask the employees to give you a free spin, please. But all that changed the moment the Australians got the chances to use online video slots. In which, accordingly, it was not house advantage to play from home, what table games are deprived of, but also to receive free spins and bonuses for additional games, even without financial investments.

Another benefit of free online casinos is a skill-based experience. With the help of the free version of the online casino, Australian players can try various slot game, understand the principle of their games, before placing a maximum bet for real money.

Most online casinos provide certain slot machines for free use. Some are easy enough to use; others are not. But they are enough to start with simpler slots at the beginning of a casino gaming career, gradually switching to complex slot machines schemes. For beginners, free video slots are great odds to have a new long term hobby without investing money.

Mobile Slots Peculiarities

It is no surprise to anyone that mobile devices are rapidly replacing computers for using video poker machines in online casinos, because they are much more convenient, in terms of mobility and the ability to use the network in any convenient place. Besides, technologies are rapidly developing and playing online slots on mobile devices is equally convenient or even several times more convenient than on personal computers. Online slots are ideally adapted to mobile screens, and there is practically no difference in operation.

It should be noted that not all gambling machines are adapted for mobile phones. The process of transferring slot game to mobile apps goes from newest to older. Therefore, if you did not find your favourite slot in the application, it means that the slot is of the old model. When you choose an online casino slot, it is impossible to determine if it works in a mobile casino immediately. More likely to work on mobile devices if modelled by some popular provider such as Betsoft, NetEnt or Quickspin.

There is also a difference between your favourite slots on the computer screen and in the mobile application. It’s all about the screen size of your devices. To optimise the online casino slot for mobile devices, it was necessary to change its image in some ways. In most cases, there are more compressed images of video reels. This does not mean that some of their functions are also cut out. Mobile slot games contain the same part of the functions as an online casino video slot, and sometimes even more functions and bonuses from the loyalty system specifically for mobile slot players.

Basic strategies for slots

Slots are one of the most classic casino games that are simple for the player. You just need to spin the drum and hope for luck. It is impossible to influence which symbols will appear, as well as when the jackpot will fall out. Also, it cannot be determined when the slot is “cold” or “hot”. This does not mean that there is nowhere to pay attention. You need to find out what type of slot is in front of you. There are three types of spinning reel slot – multiplier and progressive.

• Progressive. According to this long-run strategy to win a jackpot, it also makes no sense to pay less than the maximum number of coins. When a combination of symbols falls out, the player receives a percentage of each coin played. Previously, each slot machine worked independently, and the progressive jackpots were determined independently. Still, now electronic slots are networked with other slots, and all the coins played on the network are added to the total jackpot—basic strategies for slots.
• The buy-a-pay. is one of the main indicators in a casino, the skill-based strategy of which you must know to get the most profit from your bet. The main idea of this strategy is not to play less than the maximum payout amount. With this strategy, each played coin will book a set of symbols or a pay line. The first coin books the winnings for cherry symbols, while the second activates the streak, and the third activates the sevens. If you bet only one coin, even if the jackpot falls out, the player does not receive money, which can be a very offensive ending.
• Multiplier – an indicator by which the winnings are proportional to the bet, excluding the maximum jackpot. If you can put three coins into the game at the same time, but you use one, then three bars will return ten. For two coins, three ingots will return 20, and for three coins – 30. With other symbols like sevens, you can get 500 and 1000 for one and two coins, respectively. But if you played all three coins, sevens can return up to 10,000. Carefully read the instructions on the machine.

Slots machine myths

• Due to their less ignorance of how slot machines and the gambling industry in general work, there are many tips among Australian casino players on how and when to play slot machines correctly, which slots are better to choose and how to take a jackpot. However, to a large extent, these are incorrect beliefs and are not at all true. Let’s consider the most popular myths about slot machines and the casino system.
• After the jackpot has been won in the machine, it cannot give money shortly, and it is necessary to change the machine. This is absolutely not true, for the reason that given money management, it is necessary to take profits and not stop. It never happens that the slot has cooled down. According to the program of random number generator, which is embedded in the code of slot machines, the probability of winning the jackpot in the next game is the same as the first time.
• A high chance of winning is on the machine, which has not given out a prize for a long time. Slots have no concept of “on time”. All winning combinations work by chance. And even a long game with defeats may not end for a very long time.
• The most winning machines in the casino are placed next to the aisle. This is a prevalent myth among casino players, which is why central machines are trendy. This myth convinces users that those who win at slot machines sit on public display and attract interested players with their joy. Even the fact that they give out a prize no often than others does not stop the players. There is some truth in this myth – not all slots in casinos have the same winning percentage, but you should not think that the system for placing machines is so simple.
• The more people there are, the less likely it is to win. The slot program code of random number generators is written so that it does not depend on the number of people who simultaneously gamble and it is not easy for casino operators to change it. To make any changes, it is necessary to open the slot and replace the microcircuit. It’s hard enough to do it in a room full of people without suspicion.
