Slot Machine Payback Probabilities

Hello All,

Things are still dull and wet in England and everyones mood is reflecting this.

I may be working on some housing details later this month so I will keep you guys updated in case you care ;)

Today I have posted the 4th part of my mini-article series which concentrates on slot machines inside casinos.
You will find this article quite eye opening, especially if you don't already know anything about random number generators and how slot machines pay out. If you like it let me know, if not let me know why.

The whole series has been co-developed by WassOnline.com and if you want to know more details then why not visit their casino reviews section and check out ther slot machine guides.

Slot machines are as random and unpredictable like a game of roulette. In a slot machine, when you pull the handle or press the spin button you are actually not generating any numbers. This is done to add to the excitement in a casino. How a slot machine actually works is with a microcomputer that is constantly generating numbers even when the machine is not in use.

There are known as Random Number Generator (RNG). Therefore, when you pull the handle or press the button the machine displays the last set of random numbers that were generated.

A good slot machine is one that gives you a higher payback percentage. These are machines that offer anywhere between 95 to 99 percent and try and play these only. Generally, the machines where you play with $1 or a higher amount are the ones that provide you with a higher payback percentage.

Machines that require you to play with $5 or more statistically have proven to have the highest payback. Many slot machines have signs indicating ‘up to 98% payback’. This is an indicator showing you that there are many loose machines leaving you with a higher chance of winning some money. ‘Up to 98% payback’ means that the slot machine will payback 98 cents of every dollar, but this takes place in the long term. When this sign is put up it means that probably one of the machines is loose what you can do is to play when the ‘up to’ is missing from the board.

There are many ways to spot these machines; if they provide signs then you are in luck but otherwise look for the machines that are centrally located. This is because the good machines with a high payback percentile are generally located where people can see them and her the sounds of a jackpot.
