My contribution is: Mix your bets, meaning play 50 cents on up for a couple and change your denomination. Do not play the same bet regardless of how much you're betting. If a machine is going to hit, it usually hits quickly if not move on otherwise you're wasting your money. Go when it's not crowded so you skip to the next machine. Usually if I don't hit within $300.00 for the night I should go home. When you win, play a liitle bit and then leave and don't play the same machine next time, find different machines and keep track of the ones that didn't hit previously and then play when you come back. Sometimes it's not your night, leave and come back another time. I've spent a lot doing this and have learned the hard way, lol Good luck!
I think the best tip on this is something I always tell people, as well which is: if it's going to pay it WILL usually be SOON. You don't have to wait for a whole hundred dollars to be spent. For instance, I have studied this a lot - if firelink won't give me a bonus on 5 spins, it usually will take a very long to pay anything., And I agree too that you should switch the bet. I think progressive betting is my favorite way to play the slots.
I know this is super rare but a few months ago my father was playing a quarter slot and got down to 50 bucks then hit 3 grand once they came to the machine for the handoay they reset the slot so he could still gamble that 50 in the machine while he waited for them to bring him the 3 grand before they got back with his money he hit the 3 grand again. Then he left. Probably the most he will ever win because when he goes he only brings 200 dollars to play with and only plays slots. P.s. punctuation is not my strong suit.
just try really hard to be responsible. 200$ every 3 months is 1,000 a year on gambling. Thats not too much. And anytime your profit is the same (200$ or more) leave and go home.
I think the best thing to do is to just have fun while playing. Unless you’re super serious and if it is a career, then just have fun. Know your budget and know when to quit if you win something. I love going to the casino for leisure and to have fun (even though I lose). Good luck to all and hope one wins a mega jackpot
Why are so many people acting as if they are informing others that slot machines are a losing proposition. Everyone already knows this. You need to understand that people play slots for entertainment, as a hobby. Because someone likes to golf on Saturday's, and pays $200 in green fees and for a cart, then spends another $50 in the clubhouse having drinks with friends, we tend to accept the notion that it is not waste of money, but rather the person is pursuing free time interests. It is the same thing for people who enjoy playing slots. It is just another hobby, they go with friends and have drinks and have a good time, and sometimes they do win. Hopefully this will help stop all the snarly comments.
It's human nature to want to go "just a few more spins"! The key is forcing yourself to cash out if you are ahead, or have come back to break even. There's nothing wrong with walking away.
i know its a 3 year old comment but whatever, when i gamble online i deposit 100 euro usually. if my balance is at 200 euro i will never stop and take my profits. why? when i deposit that 100 euro in my mind i already lost it, its not an investment. its a entertainment spending! i will play and have my fun till im out of balance OR when i hit that juicy jackpot and can cash out for atleast 10x more than i started with. simply dont gamble if your only goal is to profit, do it to enjoy yourself and potential profits is just a nice added plus. when you go to a restaurant you easily pay over 100 euros, or you gamble for 100 euro and enjoy youself. same thing, dont expect anything in return other than temporarily entertainment.

I played a machine at a bar yesterday, I put $20 in it and bet $0.50 cents a spin. I hit a bonus and it paid $80, so I cashed out and quit. I got some food for $7.00, and a free soda, and I went home with $53 more than I left the house with. That is how I do it, if the bonus would have paid $40 or $50, I would have cashed out on that too.
I don't go to the casino unless i am in a good mood. I've noticed that when I go and Im in a bad or sad mood i do REALLY lousy. I dont know if this applies to other people but it sure happens to me. I only go like twice a year. I either win well or even out. Mostly just have fun🙄
I think if people want to go they should go when they are neutral as it can hardwire behavior patterns which can cause addiction if you are not "neutral", I do the same if I choose to have a drink.
I feel ya!!! How many times I've been playing at the slot machine & "feeling good" cause I've WON a few hundred dollars, (like $400.00) and then end up PLAYING IT BACK!!! 😣😣😣😣 Then- I'm kicking myself & feeling SO LOW when I'm leaving.... cause I knew how much $$$ I had run the machine up to, & I wanted to bring that money BACK HOME!!!! 😔😔😔
I hear you bro....I hadn’t been to a casino for years...i stopped in one day..i bet $3.75 on triple dragon unleashed and hit for $5700.00 ...the people i was playing next to said, “Leave...leave now”. I played a little longer...walked out. I came back the next day and though it cost me $1000.oo i hit for 6700.00. the next few days i won several more smaller pots...i paid the tax on some of them, and didn’t on the smaller ones. Sure enough i kept going back...and out of the $15,000.00 i had won...i lost it all but $3000.00. Now come tax time it’s going to kill us...and i have nothing to show for it. I want to go back...but it’s obvious this magical time ended. I wanted a motorcycle for 20 years, but I’m on disability...i finally had the money to get one...but my wife wanted some for something else...so i caved..and thought...well...I’ll just have to win more to accomplish both things. Talk about regrets. Gambling addiction...you walk in feeling excited and high thinking about winning...soon enough...your thinking about trying to get back to scratch, then after a few trips to the cash machine, the despair and self recriminations lead to the walk of shame...to my car...and the self loathing, and crying and praying. I haven’t gone back for about a month and I’m starting to feel better. But like i say...it’s going to be bad at tax time. Take care everyone, and i pray for all of us to have grace to overcome this addiction.
The story of us all, eh? Won $700 ($300 over my starting bankroll) and told everyone I knew better than to go back ('a bird in the hand....'). Ignored my own advice and ended up losing my profit - which is really a return of previous losses - AND an additional $800. Been on Sad Street ever since... Gambling addiction is downright horrible. So much shame, so much disappointment with oneself. If I/we had all the lost money there'd be no need to hope for a big win!
ONCE YOU'RE WINNING cashed out right away…don't give the machine time to bring back your winning money. if the machine don't give you anything after cashing out..its time to hit the pedal and run as fast as you can.
A very wise slot director at out local told me .Time is on the casinos side ,not yours . witch means the longer you play the higher the odds are in you losing .
Casinos don't cheat you. They simply pay you less than the true odds on every game they offer. That's how they make their money. It's simply a matter of math!
You can if you want. If another patron holds a machine for you slipping them a little something is kind. If it's an employee, they're just doing their job so tip at your discretion.
See actual payback percentages for slot machines, at various denominations, here - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/slot-machine-payback-statistics.html
Steve I have been studying Mega Bucks , it’s Not Random, again the mainframe computer will produce a major Jackpot win in a particular Casino at a particular time of day in a particular Machine . Not Random
My advice is go some place where you always gambled order a side or coffee maybe something to eat? Sit down with your phone and play - sure maybe you win nothing but when you leave you can still feel good because you still had fun and did not lose either
My last trip to a casino.. Had 80$ bux left so I toured the casino just looking... Got a decent vibe from a machine sat down dropped 20$. After 5-6 spins hit 196.35. Cashed out put that slip in right pocket from my cash and went touring again. Did that for the last 60$. Walked away when cash was gone. All in all I walked out a casino with 687$ and change. From 80$. Cashed vouchers out at different cashier windows throughout casino. Never hitting the 600$ tax threshold
At MGM Casino here in Detroit, I have made , estimate, $2160 off a certain two cent slot the last 3 months , seriously my luck is uncanny...I estimate I have spent almost $560 playing so I guess I am ahead about $1500 or so?? Just keep getting bonus symbols and re-triggers, well also betting $3 a spin helps...good luck to all who enjoy the slots at the casino's...
What about playing one certain slot over and over and you play it because of past results because you're starting to realize there's a pattern and you might be catching on to it a little bit
Past results do not reflect future results. It's all random. An exception would be a "must hit by slot" where the jackpot builds and it must be paid out by a certain amount. So, if it says on the machine "must it by $50," then the closer that jackpot is to $50, the more likely it will pay out soon.
I know that the higher the denomination you bet, the higher the payback percentage. However, there are some slot machines that allow multiple denomination bets and allow you to choose the denomination to bet. If you choose a higher denomination before you bet, does it increase your payback percentage chance or decrease your payback percentage chance in real time depending on whether you bet higher or lower?
Yes. You can see the same thing in multi-denomination video poker machines where the pay table will change depending on the denomination chosen. When the pay table changes on a video poker machine, the payback percentage also changes.
We have been trying to figure that out for a while. The states that break down slot machine stats by denomination just lump multi denom machines together and we haven't been tracking them since they don't actually say what denominations those machines are for.
Just go and play and have fun, Call me in six months when your sitting at one of your favorite slots, like a zombie in a trance, totally addicted to gambling and wondering what went wrong.....
I won on my birthday! February 5th, 2021. I was playing the thunder slot machine, 1 cents. .60 cents and bonus round 4 free spins. I won $448.82. This is true! I cashed out and went home.
Unless I'm missing something I don't see how they can truly be random. Given they are programmed with a minimum percentage they must pay back, that alone says there is win manipulation
It is explained further in this article - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/slot-machines/how-can-slot-machine-results-be-both-programmed-and-random.html
Funny that there are laws in states saying that a machine has to pay out say 90% and another state has to pay out 95% and the machine is say a triple dollar with the exact same payouts, my question is this, then how can it be completely random? If it was random how can you guarantee that the machine over a period of time pays out 95%. Random means it might only pay out 10% whereby being in violation of state laws.
The payback percentage is a theoretical number that is based on probability. For example, a 98% payback percentage is a long term number that is based on probability and it doesn't mean that a machine must pay back that exact percentage within a certain time period. Some days a casino will lose money on a machine, but most days it will make money and in the long-run the machine will pay back very close to what it is programmed to return. As a simple example, think of a bowl with 10 balls. Nine are red and one is white. If someone randomly picks a ball, in the long-run about 90% of the time a red ball will be picked and about 10% of the time a white ball will be picked. Slot machines work the same way, but they just have many more combinations programmed into them to achieve whatever payback percentage is desired by the manufacturer.
I just go to CASINOS to get out of the house and have some fun. You win some, lose some. The HOUSE always has the EDGE. They're on business to make money not lose it paying out huge JACKPOTS.
6th important thing to know !! .... If you don't put any money in the machine, then you don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to get it back. Take it from me, a lifetime slot player who has banned himself from the casinos. Best decision of my life !!
Banned from the Shootiung Star Casino's, for life in Minnesota for being an advantage player. The casino's lost no revenue from my play. Anyone playing the same machines, would have hit the same thing. Was told by the management, that i'd never be kicked out for winning, They really disdn't need to lie to me.
I watched a lady betting $8.88 on a penny slot and lost $300 in less than 5-minutes .. then she hit the screen on machine and yelled "*#@! this place, i'm never coming back" ... a week later i seen her in there again
This video says that the higher denomination machines have a higher payback percentage. Is that really true if you are playing the same game (but a different coin denomination)? The “Valhalla” or “lion Dance” or “Wild Wolf” penny machines have a different payback percentage than the “Valhalla”, “lion Dance”, “Wild Wolf” quarter machines? Is this also true of Video Poker (Quarter Vs Dollar)?
Ok, for that to be true of Video Poker they would have to either alter the pay tables or the cards are not dealt at random. (It would have to be an alteration of the pay tables)
They need winners as they encourage others to bet. They make a lot of noise paying out but take money quietly. They kkeep 80% making for 20% payout. However that 20% gets put back in.
There are very few 10-cent machines and that's why the information is not widely available. From what we have seen, the return is similar to nickel machines.
Good information. Penny slots are misleading..it costs a lot more than a penny to play.When you think about it dollar slots are penny slots..100 pennys at a time
Considering there are still a lot of penny machines require you to pay a max bet of $3.00 to get the payouts so it would be cheaper to play a $1 machine with a single payout line.
Nobody should be complaining about slots. It’s literally the crappiest odds in the casino, which is why there’s hundreds whenever you walk in. If you want to make money, stick with blackjack or poker. There’s a very very slight house edge on those games.
Back in 2000,when our casino was brand new,I sat and dropped a few single quarter tokens in a machine which offered a BMW with the max bet,three tokens at once. One token could get you 250 bucks,two a lot more(I forget how much more,maybe between 500 and a 1000 bucks.) and three the car. I only had a handful,didn't really pay heed to the progressive pattern and walked out with zilch. Maybe FIVE seconds later some random guy took my seat and won that car. First spin,first three tokens. At the very least,I think,I would have won 250 bucks and then gotten insanely depressed and frustrated upon realizing what I could have won instead. Not paying attention to the progressive thing----although I often had only a limited amount of money to spend and would try to hang on to it for as long as possible---cost me at least four much larger wins than the largest ones I went home with. Still,that's gambling. No sense beating myself up about it.
How can past results of a slot machine not affect future results, for better or for worse? How can slot machines be called "totally random" when a pre-determined outcome is programmed? The payback percentage of slot machines would grow if there are more losing results than what is programmed to be the desired payback percentage. How can this not be the case? Let me ask/explain another way: I do not know what the time-frame (number of spins) the payback percentage is based on, but say it is 100,000 spins and the payback percentage should be at 91% +/- 1%. If, say, after the first 20,000 spins, the payback percentage is at 80%, then the payback percentage would have to be higher than the 91% the rest of the 100,000 spins. Therefore, a machine can be colder or hotter than it was previously, and this is based on past results. No? If that is not the case, can you please explain to me how this is not true, because I really want to understand. Thanks!
The payback percentage is a theoretical number that is based on probability. For example, a 98% payback percentage is a long term number that is based on probability and it doesn't mean that a machine must pay back that exact percentage every time it is played, nor, within a certain time period. Some days a casino will lose money on a machine, but most days it will make money and in the long-run the machine will pay back very close to what it is programmed to return. There is a confidence factor associated with the theoretical payback percentage whereby the longer the machine is played, the more confident the casino should be that the results will be in line with the expected payback percentage. So, as an imaginary example, after 10,000 pulls the machine might be within 25% of the theoretical payback, after 100,000 pulls within 12%, after 500,000 pulls within 6% and after 2,000,000 pulls within 1%. Each slot machine has a PAR sheet which gives a detailed analysis of this information to the casino. I read a lot of casino industry publications and of the best articles I have read that explains the math for slot machines, can be found here - www.indiangaming.com/istore/Dec15_Ashley.pdf To further explain how probability is used to control the payback percentage, think of a bowl with 10 balls. Nine are red and one is white. If someone randomly picks a ball, in the long-run about 90% of the time a red ball will be picked and about 10% of the time a white ball will be picked. Slot machines work the same way, but they just have many more combinations programmed into them to achieve whatever payback percentage is desired by the manufacturer.
Don't forget your freeplay, the Friday night giveaways, your $10 buffet credit, your free slot tournament ...... anything to get you in the door to take your money is their goal. If you go, take only what you can afford to lose .. say to yourself "if i lose this money will it make me mad, sad or depressed?" Go for fun BUT don't go expecting to win or get rich .. most of the time you will walk out empty handed, every great once in a while you may win just to keep you coming back ... best advice, stay far away and keep your money
Play online. You will win. The slot has a phenomena. It eats the cash or the bet which you stake at first, then it will randomly pay you the bonus or the free spin. Bet the minimum. Don't bet the maximum because the difference between the stake or bet and the winning in bonus free spins will be much to great to achieve surplus in profit winnings. The most difficult part in slot is to understand the compatibility of the game. It comes by experience. You will never achieve this in a physical casino.
I want a sizable amount about 10 years ago and I have easily paid it back into machines at various casinos up and down the East Coast. Psychologists are hired to put all the bells and whistles and timing is very important.
Can anything be gleaned from the proliferation of slot machine videos on RUclips? These would be the videos where players are recording their slot play in realtime; a lot with seamless recording involved. Also, some slot machines, say a $5 three reel mechanical slot, may have a 'progressive' bonus for max bet when the predesignated combination of symbols turns up on the payline. Does the Random Number Generator (RNG) 'randomly' select this combination to not come up? I realize that just because I have never personally seen a $5 Wheel of Fortune Progressive ($10 a spin) pay out the $100,000 jackpot does not mean that it hasn't happened. Also, casinos like to publicize these large jackpots to stimulate interest and there's been a dearth of pictures of smiling people holding large, colorful representative checks for advertisement purposes from my local casino.
Those videos usually either show someone getting a good win on a slot machine. Or, they show people playing on high-limit machines. They are, sometimes, interesting to watch, but you really can't learn anything from them. Our most popular video is on how slot machines work and you can see it here - ruclips.net/video/7Wkubf1PrWg/видео.html That video is eights years old, but the information is still valid. We made an update to it in late 2016 to see what, if anything, had changed and you can see that one here - ruclips.net/video/hkhjZ00rsHQ/видео.html
01:02 Are people really playing 500 spins an hour?? If a player was to spin once every 10 seconds without pause they would spin 360 times an hour. I don't see how someone would spin 500 spins an hour let alone 800.
If one machine pays a jackpot,they take the rest of machines to make an average percent payout.ive put $100 in a machine and got nothing.90%payout is bull
I will get to the bottom of this travesty. Each slot machine should be marked as to the percentage payout. Also every slot player should be given the facts as how payouts are determined. I suspect that the chance of a favorable payout is maybe 50% at best.
Once again, you are showing your ignorance on a subject of which you know very little. Minimum payback percentages are required in regulated jurisdictions and the lowest you will find is 75% in Nevada. However, in reality the average payback in Nevada is over 90%. You can see information on actual slot machine payback percentages on our website - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machine-payback-statistics.html
1 thing that a slot player should know before feeding the casinos' owners. do not go to the casino..! Its so hard to earn your money like to go and give your money away to them..! You wont ever beat the casino at all..! You better spend your money with your family, your kids, your parents.! With your love ones..! But stop feeding those fkn casinos.
What's the correct way to think of multi-line games? Do they pay out at a higher rate? Or are you just compressing your playing experience playing 3/5/50 lines at a time?
You should bet enough to be eligible for the bonuses. While you usually don't have to make a maximum coins bet to be eligible for the bonus, you usually need to bet a minimum amount. If you don't bet enough to be eligible for the bonus rounds then you will never achieve the maximum payback percentage for that machine.
Very happy for you. Sit on it awhile, and write down your top "Needs vs Wants" list for half of it; then invest the other half wisely. And be aware that a $875k win will only be about $400k net after state and federal taxes. So don't "go crazy" and think you are set for life❤️

PLayed a Penny slot once, bet the max, hit for $685.00 was on my first $20 of the night... I cashed out and left the casino.
You are smart I would do the same thing
AMEN
Wish I was that smart!
I'd do the same
and never played again? Or lost it all on trips back to the casino .. most everyone that ever wins ends up losing it back to gambling at some point
My tips are these. Always play high denomination slots ( a dollar and up). Always best max. And always walk away when you hit big (over 500 dollars).
Not easy to just walk away, but I do like your tips. Thanks for sharing.
Sterling Archer that's right bro! But before you able to do that you must have self control.

Gambling addiction...you walk in feeling excited and high thinking about winning...soon enough...your thinking about trying to get back to scratch, then after a few trips to the cash machine, the despair and self recriminations lead to the walk of shame...to my car...and the self loathing, and crying and praying. I haven’t gone back for about a month and I’m starting to feel better. But like i say...it’s going to be bad at tax time. Take care everyone, and i pray for all of us to have grace to overcome this addiction.
The story of us all, eh? Won $700 ($300 over my starting bankroll) and told everyone I knew better than to go back ('a bird in the hand....'). Ignored my own advice and ended up losing my profit - which is really a return of previous losses - AND an additional $800. Been on Sad Street ever since...
Gambling addiction is downright horrible. So much shame, so much disappointment with oneself. If I/we had all the lost money there'd be no need to hope for a big win!
That's what my dad told me,"When you hit a jackpot cash out."
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
ONCE YOU'RE WINNING cashed out right away…don't give the machine time to bring back your winning money. if the machine don't give you anything after cashing out..its time to hit the pedal and run as fast as you can.
A very wise slot director at out local told me .Time is on the casinos side ,not yours . witch means the longer you play the higher the odds are in you losing .
Well of course but that can be said about anything , it be like saying the longer you drive a car the higher the odds you'll die in a car wreck .
I wish I could play for an hour. I can go in with 400 and leave in 20 minutes with nothing. Haha. Max betting on just penny slots still adds up.
Bro what how does this even happen
With $400 I would recommend the $1 machine betting 3 max credits strategy. 130 pulls, better odds than the penny denomination payout.
I play for hours on 150
Ryan. Same with me. Money goes through so quickly and no wins
The CASINO always WINS! no matter how you play just go and have fun 😊 ...
chewie man: True. Then if and when you win it's fine to be pleasantly surprised.
chewie man ITS HARD TO HAVE FUN WHEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE CHEATING YOU
Casinos don't cheat you. They simply pay you less than the true odds on every game they offer. That's how they make their money. It's simply a matter of math!
u just have to realize that and to manage your risk.
Not so! Just because you don't know how to do something does not mean it is impossible.
Do you tip the floor workers for holding the machines and when you win a $2,500 JP?
You can if you want. If another patron holds a machine for you slipping them a little something is kind. If it's an employee, they're just doing their job so tip at your discretion.
Do you tip your server if you received good service?
The way video slots usualy go for me is either non stop losses or non stop bonus plays. Its always one or the other
Is it payback percentage if you're betting high is it different if you're playing the $0.02 machine
See actual payback percentages for slot machines, at various denominations, here - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/slot-machine-payback-statistics.html
Steve I have been studying Mega Bucks , it’s Not Random, again the mainframe computer will produce a major Jackpot win in a particular Casino at a particular time of day in a particular Machine . Not Random
Well, I guess you should go play them and hit one of the jackpots. Let us know how well that works out for you. We will be rooting for you, honestly!
Does it matter where you touch the button, like the middle or hit the corner ?
My advice is go some place where you always gambled order a side or coffee maybe something to eat?
Sit down with your phone and play - sure maybe you win nothing but when you leave you can still feel good because you still had fun and did not lose either
My last trip to a casino.. Had 80$ bux left so I toured the casino just looking... Got a decent vibe from a machine sat down dropped 20$. After 5-6 spins hit 196.35. Cashed out put that slip in right pocket from my cash and went touring again. Did that for the last 60$. Walked away when cash was gone. All in all I walked out a casino with 687$ and change. From 80$. Cashed vouchers out at different cashier windows throughout casino. Never hitting the 600$ tax threshold
Wow . I never thought of cashing out vouchers seperately to avoid the tax on 600$ or more . Smart
What’s your opinion on stopping the reels instead of letting them stop by there selfs ????
It doesn't change the outcome. You are simply playing faster and you will lose more quickly, in the long run.
Rick SGS I wondered that too.
The computer chip determines the outcome not the screen. Your outcome is chosen regardless of what the screen shows.
At MGM Casino here in Detroit, I have made , estimate, $2160 off a certain two cent slot the last 3 months , seriously my luck is uncanny...I estimate I have spent almost $560 playing so I guess I am ahead about $1500 or so?? Just keep getting bonus symbols and re-triggers, well also betting $3 a spin helps...good luck to all who enjoy the slots at the casino's...
Congratulations, you are on the winning side of the bell curve and you have been very lucky!
I have had luck, but I also know that kind of luck is fleeting...
What about playing one certain slot over and over and you play it because of past results because you're starting to realize there's a pattern and you might be catching on to it a little bit
Past results do not reflect future results. It's all random. An exception would be a "must hit by slot" where the jackpot builds and it must be paid out by a certain amount. So, if it says on the machine "must it by $50," then the closer that jackpot is to $50, the more likely it will pay out soon.
Take any wins you can get, even if just a couple of dollars.
that's great advice
Hello I would like too know , does it mean something when a casino staff puts they're finger on your slot machine
What if the casino made loud noises when taking your money vs winning? Can you imagine the deafening sound?
I know that the higher the denomination you bet, the higher the payback percentage. However, there are some slot machines that allow multiple denomination bets and allow you to choose the denomination to bet. If you choose a higher denomination before you bet, does it increase your payback percentage chance or decrease your payback percentage chance in real time depending on whether you bet higher or lower?
Each denomination has its own payback percentage. So, usually, the higher the denomination you choose, the higher the payback percentage.
americancasinoguide multiple payback percentages in the same slot machine?
Yes. You can see the same thing in multi-denomination video poker machines where the pay table will change depending on the denomination chosen. When the pay table changes on a video poker machine, the payback percentage also changes.
Good question .
What about multi denom machines. Does the payback differ based on the denom you choose? Example, lightning links by aristocrat ..
We have been trying to figure that out for a while. The states that break down slot machine stats by denomination just lump multi denom machines together and we haven't been tracking them since they don't actually say what denominations those machines are for.
Every weeks, i go gambling and i realize that i own nothing in my life excluding fun to gamble.
2020 can he please give us an Up Date.
Just go and play and have fun, Call me in six months when your sitting at one of your favorite slots, like a zombie in a trance, totally addicted to gambling and wondering what went wrong.....
Thank you for your advice . Very imterested .
that's funny when he said that past results thing..lol I'm real bad about looking at what the last person cashed out at on the machine
How to make a random number system win big
Good tips, Thank you!!
John is awesome....love his videos.
I won on my birthday! February 5th, 2021. I was playing the thunder slot machine, 1 cents. .60 cents and bonus round 4 free spins. I won $448.82. This is true! I cashed out and went home.
How do you cash out
I've been winning but I cant get my money
Unless I'm missing something I don't see how they can truly be random. Given they are programmed with a minimum percentage they must pay back, that alone says there is win manipulation
It is explained further in this article - www.americancasinoguidebook.com/slot-machines/how-can-slot-machine-results-be-both-programmed-and-random.html
@@TheJackpotGents Thanks! Makes sense now.
Funny that there are laws in states saying that a machine has to pay out say 90% and another state has to pay out 95% and the machine is say a triple dollar with the exact same payouts, my question is this, then how can it be completely random? If it was random how can you guarantee that the machine over a period of time pays out 95%. Random means it might only pay out 10% whereby being in violation of state laws.
The payback percentage is a theoretical number that is based on probability. For example, a 98% payback percentage is a long term number that is based on probability and it doesn't mean that a machine must pay back that exact percentage within a certain time period. Some days a casino will lose money on a machine, but most days it will make money and in the long-run the machine will pay back very close to what it is programmed to return. As a simple example, think of a bowl with 10 balls. Nine are red and one is white. If someone randomly picks a ball, in the long-run about 90% of the time a red ball will be picked and about 10% of the time a white ball will be picked. Slot machines work the same way, but they just have many more combinations programmed into them to achieve whatever payback percentage is desired by the manufacturer.
Getting back 90% could take ALL your MONEY
I just go to CASINOS to get out of the house and have some fun. You win some, lose some. The HOUSE always has the EDGE. They're on business to make money not lose it paying out huge JACKPOTS.
6th important thing to know !! .... If you don't put any money in the machine, then you don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to get it back. Take it from me, a lifetime slot player who has banned himself from the casinos. Best decision of my life !!
Great tutorial! I work on slots and I am a collection agent in Illinois. Do these occupations pay decently in casinos or is it a low paying job?
I played Robin hood hit the prince of thiefs twice on a Saturday night...here in Ontario , Oregon
Excellent
trying to find bartop made by interblock called starbar in Vegas. do you know any locations that have them in vegas
Banned from the Shootiung Star Casino's, for life in Minnesota for being an advantage player. The casino's lost no revenue from my play. Anyone playing the same machines, would have hit the same thing. Was told by the management, that i'd never be kicked out for winning, They really disdn't need to lie to me.
I played penny slot machine and lost $110 in not even 15 mins.
velvetdinh must have been betting on like 40 lines and 20 credits??
Ha ha idiot
😐
And that's why I don't play penny slots.
I watched a lady betting $8.88 on a penny slot and lost $300 in less than 5-minutes .. then she hit the screen on machine and yelled "*#@! this place, i'm never coming back" ... a week later i seen her in there again
This video says that the higher denomination machines have a higher payback percentage.
Is that really true if you are playing the same game (but a different coin denomination)?
The “Valhalla” or “lion Dance” or “Wild Wolf” penny machines have a different payback percentage than the “Valhalla”, “lion Dance”, “Wild Wolf” quarter machines?
Is this also true of Video Poker (Quarter Vs Dollar)?
Yes. And, generally, yes for video poker too.
Ok, for that to be true of Video Poker they would have to either alter the pay tables or the cards are not dealt at random. (It would have to be an alteration of the pay tables)
They need winners as they encourage others to bet. They make a lot of noise paying out but take money quietly. They kkeep 80% making for 20% payout. However that 20% gets put back in.
anybody know the payback on dimes?
There are very few 10-cent machines and that's why the information is not widely available. From what we have seen, the return is similar to nickel machines.
This guy is ultra cool
Do multi domination video slots still very on pay back?
Video poker can definitely depending on pay tables
Nothing was mentioned about the server-based machines where the casinos can change the payouts!
A casino cannot change payouts on a machine you're playing once the game starts they cannot change it.
I use to win in the casinos but lately. I can't win anything. I think they tightened their slot machines.
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
Same here and it sucks I use to win mini jackpot twice and then a month later I would go back and lose all money
Good information. Penny slots are misleading..it costs a lot more than a penny to play.When you think about it dollar slots are penny slots..100 pennys at a time
Considering there are still a lot of penny machines require you to pay a max bet of $3.00 to get the payouts so it would be cheaper to play a $1 machine with a single payout line.
The lower the denomination, the more credits you need to win a jackpot. Ex. Quarters are typically 3-5 credits, pennies are typically 225-300 credits.
Nobody should be complaining about slots. It’s literally the crappiest odds in the casino, which is why there’s hundreds whenever you walk in. If you want to make money, stick with blackjack or poker. There’s a very very slight house edge on those games.
Back in 2000,when our casino was brand new,I sat and dropped a few single quarter tokens in a machine which offered a BMW with the max bet,three tokens at once. One token could get you 250 bucks,two a lot more(I forget how much more,maybe between 500 and a 1000 bucks.) and three the car. I only had a handful,didn't really pay heed to the progressive pattern and walked out with zilch. Maybe FIVE seconds later some random guy took my seat and won that car. First spin,first three tokens. At the very least,I think,I would have won 250 bucks and then gotten insanely depressed and frustrated upon realizing what I could have won instead. Not paying attention to the progressive thing----although I often had only a limited amount of money to spend and would try to hang on to it for as long as possible---cost me at least four much larger wins than the largest ones I went home with. Still,that's gambling. No sense beating myself up about it.
How can past results of a slot machine not affect future results, for better or for worse? How can slot machines be called "totally random" when a pre-determined outcome is programmed? The payback percentage of slot machines would grow if there are more losing results than what is programmed to be the desired payback percentage. How can this not be the case? Let me ask/explain another way: I do not know what the time-frame (number of spins) the payback percentage is based on, but say it is 100,000 spins and the payback percentage should be at 91% +/- 1%. If, say, after the first 20,000 spins, the payback percentage is at 80%, then the payback percentage would have to be higher than the 91% the rest of the 100,000 spins. Therefore, a machine can be colder or hotter than it was previously, and this is based on past results. No? If that is not the case, can you please explain to me how this is not true, because I really want to understand. Thanks!
The payback percentage is a theoretical number that is based on probability. For example, a 98% payback percentage is a long term number that is based on probability and it doesn't mean that a machine must pay back that exact percentage every time it is played, nor, within a certain time period. Some days a casino will lose money on a machine, but most days it will make money and in the long-run the machine will pay back very close to what it is programmed to return. There is a confidence factor associated with the theoretical payback percentage whereby the longer the machine is played, the more confident the casino should be that the results will be in line with the expected payback percentage. So, as an imaginary example, after 10,000 pulls the machine might be within 25% of the theoretical payback, after 100,000 pulls within 12%, after 500,000 pulls within 6% and after 2,000,000 pulls within 1%. Each slot machine has a PAR sheet which gives a detailed analysis of this information to the casino. I read a lot of casino industry publications and of the best articles I have read that explains the math for slot machines, can be found here - www.indiangaming.com/istore/Dec15_Ashley.pdf To further explain how probability is used to control the payback percentage, think of a bowl with 10 balls. Nine are red and one is white. If someone randomly picks a ball, in the long-run about 90% of the time a red ball will be picked and about 10% of the time a white ball will be picked. Slot machines work the same way, but they just have many more combinations programmed into them to achieve whatever payback percentage is desired by the manufacturer.
Don't forget your freeplay, the Friday night giveaways, your $10 buffet credit, your free slot tournament ...... anything to get you in the door to take your money is their goal.
If you go, take only what you can afford to lose .. say to yourself "if i lose this money will it make me mad, sad or depressed?" Go for fun BUT don't go expecting to win or get rich .. most of the time you will walk out empty handed, every great once in a while you may win just to keep you coming back ... best advice, stay far away and keep your money
Oh yea! We get all kinds of "free" stuff from casino lol
very good information, thank you..
Casino is the cemetery for the rich and the poor.Casino never loses no matter what
mady guindin no shit, winners didn’t build Vegas. However some people do win, most lose.
To truly win you would have to win more than you play, cash out and then NEVER play again.
Why are you so attractive?
Play online. You will win. The slot has a phenomena. It eats the cash or the bet which you stake at first, then it will randomly pay you the bonus or the free spin. Bet the minimum. Don't bet the maximum because the difference between the stake or bet and the winning in bonus free spins will be much to great to achieve surplus in profit winnings. The most difficult part in slot is to understand the compatibility of the game. It comes by experience. You will never achieve this in a physical casino.
That's so interesting my friend, I play everyday, never win 🤔🤔🤔
Yes, he is right.
No matter what say or think you will always lose. Put your money where it can be useful.
Fun is useful
I want a sizable amount about 10 years ago and I have easily paid it back into machines at various casinos up and down the East Coast. Psychologists are hired to put all the bells and whistles and timing is very important.
All slots are played with short term odds. On the short term, slot payback is minimal.
Can anything be gleaned from the proliferation of slot machine videos on RUclips? These would be the videos where players are recording their slot play in realtime; a lot with seamless recording involved. Also, some slot machines, say a $5 three reel mechanical slot, may have a 'progressive' bonus for max bet when the predesignated combination of symbols turns up on the payline. Does the Random Number Generator (RNG) 'randomly' select this combination to not come up? I realize that just because I have never personally seen a $5 Wheel of Fortune Progressive ($10 a spin) pay out the $100,000 jackpot does not mean that it hasn't happened. Also, casinos like to publicize these large jackpots to stimulate interest and there's been a dearth of pictures of smiling people holding large, colorful representative checks for advertisement purposes from my local casino.
Those videos usually either show someone getting a good win on a slot machine. Or, they show people playing on high-limit machines. They are, sometimes, interesting to watch, but you really can't learn anything from them. Our most popular video is on how slot machines work and you can see it here - ruclips.net/video/7Wkubf1PrWg/видео.html That video is eights years old, but the information is still valid. We made an update to it in late 2016 to see what, if anything, had changed and you can see that one here - ruclips.net/video/hkhjZ00rsHQ/видео.html

wow that was helpful
Jackpot 11 k I bet 60 cent , would they let me have all 11k
Geisha was the first slot machine I worked on.
I go for the free pop and play like 100 and call it a day
Very informative!
You are awesome. Thanks
That’s how they built those towers in Vegas. Slots are the casinos favorite.
Yeah, in one of our other videos someone says as a rule of thumb, the nicer the casino the tighter the games.
If you’re only getting 50 hands per hour in blackjack you’re playing at a very slow game. On average, it’s probably twice that number.
A hand a minute would be 60 hands, plus stoppages for new players, shuffling, so I call bullshi..on that.
i wish every slot had it's own Jackpot dollar amount instead of all having the same Jackpot.
I have had luck just playing one game in each machine in a entire line of slots .
Then how do people know when a machine will pay and they boom they win the jackpot?
You just have to be sitting in the right place at the right time. (I never have been)
Thank you for those tips!
Lynn Foster h
01:02 Are people really playing 500 spins an hour?? If a player was to spin once every 10 seconds without pause they would spin 360 times an hour. I don't see how someone would spin 500 spins an hour let alone 800.
Anonymous ten seconds is a long time. Watch how long the reels spin. Its more like five seconds
Of those 500 spins, SOME of them will win a small amount.
I guess I'll just continue going to the pinball museum and play them all day! LOL
Just hit 950$ on a (1.60$ ) bet 😭😭👌👌👌
Love to play
Noise never bet max an c hot a bunch of money betting small
I just watch these cuz they're comfy.
If one machine pays a jackpot,they take the rest of machines to make an average percent payout.ive put $100 in a machine and got nothing.90%payout is bull
Sot machines do not work in that manner. The results are random. Watch this video - ruclips.net/video/7Wkubf1PrWg/видео.html
It pays back 90% in the longterm not the short term lol
R P the odds are based on long term...
I will get to the bottom of this travesty. Each slot machine should be marked as to the percentage payout. Also every slot player should be given the facts as how payouts are determined. I suspect that the chance of a favorable payout is maybe 50% at best.
Once again, you are showing your ignorance on a subject of which you know very little. Minimum payback percentages are required in regulated jurisdictions and the lowest you will find is 75% in Nevada. However, in reality the average payback in Nevada is over 90%. You can see information on actual slot machine payback percentages on our website - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machine-payback-statistics.html
akolak... HAH!
You ignoramus!
Indian casinos (in California) are not required to post their payback percentages.
Where and do we complain if a casino is cheating people out of money?
You complain to your state's gaming commission. Look for it online.
Cara M. Trump, in the mirror ... you complain to the reflection in the mirror. Listen to the reflection.
1 thing that a slot player should know before feeding the casinos' owners. do not go to the casino..! Its so hard to earn your money like to go and give your money away to them..! You wont ever beat the casino at all..! You better spend your money with your family, your kids, your parents.! With your love ones..! But stop feeding those fkn casinos.
Lee Williams what ever you want
What's the correct way to think of multi-line games? Do they pay out at a higher rate? Or are you just compressing your playing experience playing 3/5/50 lines at a time?
done.
Betting more doesnt trigger more mystery bonuses
You should bet enough to be eligible for the bonuses. While you usually don't have to make a maximum coins bet to be eligible for the bonus, you usually need to bet a minimum amount. If you don't bet enough to be eligible for the bonus rounds then you will never achieve the maximum payback percentage for that machine.
I hit more bonuses on lesser bets which really irratates me because when i max bet bonuses go away
I won a jackpot 875 , 000 from greektown casino detroit yesterday from slot
Very happy for you. Sit on it awhile, and write down your top "Needs vs Wants" list for half of it; then invest the other half wisely. And be aware that a $875k win will only be about $400k net after state and federal taxes. So don't "go crazy" and think you are set for life❤️
Wow. Thats awesome.
Guarantee it will be gone within 5 years
These slots they tell you every spin is random and you have the same chance but I think they lie.
If you play 1 dollar, and get back 90 cents, you lose
I went greedy and lost 1000 euro in online casino :( Never playing again
jjasper 1000 euros damn man that is insane!!
