You are probably so sick of repeating yourself over and over. Thank you for putting your heart into helping others.
I'm not - Everyday we are finding new ways to present the information. :)
@@GambleSmarti have played at a place where the machines are set at 92% payout rate for a little over 10 years.
we only have low limit machines here as the high limit ones are not allowed here.
i have i believe extreme bad luck, can you tell me if what's happening to me is anywhere near normal?
here are my statistics:
i've seen a total of well over 3 million in jackpots drop on machines next to me including an uncountable number of majors right after i left the machine.
i've played lightning link, lock it link, dragon link and rising fortunes.
on rising fortunes the grand drops on average once a year and the major 3 times.
i've seen the grand drop twice next to me ( at 41k and 62k) and the major 3 times.
that's 20% and 10% of the jackpots which dropped, which is a FAR higher percentage than the other machines which drop no end of jackpots...
on the other three the major has dropped an estimated amount of around 15 thousand times in those 10 years, i lost count of the number of majors which dropped next ot me or right after i left the machines, but my estimate is around 300 times, which is only 2% of the total.
the grand dropped 14 times on those machines next to me from an estimate of 300 times on those three machines.
which is around 5%..
i know of an old lady who only ever played 50cent bets on lighting link, she won the grand 5 times....
friend of ours has won the major 3 times and the grand on lock it link, and he doesn't even play those that much.
i have not won a single one of those jackpots...
we go on average 6 times a month and we only play within budget to keep it sensible, which is the only way you should play.
how is it possible to miss out on that amount of jackpots?
is it even possible with those statistics not to get a single one of them?
do you know of anybody else with this amount of bad luck, and no good luck at all?
my girlfriend has played ligthning link for a total of around 6 hours in those 10 years, she has won a major jackpot... which with these statistics to me seems completely normal....
Probably because he keeps getting called out for being incorrect about slots software in 2024
You're right on all points. I've been a slot gambler for 40 years and a slot game designer for 15 years. But honestly, the slot industry has an interest in creating myths and making players believe they have control. Such players play more often, for longer, and lose more money than rational players. We have invented many nasty things like near-miss situations, perceived persistence mechanics, denominations and bet levels, progressives and much more to fool players into thinking they have any control. We are constantly thinking about inventing new techniques of such kind.
If it was all about winning and losing, without any emotion, then we would offer a machine where you put in $100 and randomly pay out $0 to $1000 instantly. Without any animation and sound. No player would play it even if the odds of winning were identical.

I have probably thee most diabolical idea for a new game that could and will change game design and mechanics. Might be a rat race to get there too. But I’ll probably talk to much about it and get it ripped off lol! So I’m just going to stop there. I’m not kidding, I have logos mocked up, I’m a professional Tattooer. Absolutely LOVE slot everything. I do love to play them, but even everything about them I am super intoxicated by? Honestly wanting to hault a 15 year professional tattoo career. I just don’t know how or where to start? I’m 37, I am very tech savvy. Just decided to start getting into coding, first step. Getting the ugly shit outta the way. Although im down definitely rather work with a company than create then sell potentially which would just never work?
Are you by chance looking for new ideas on games and ideas to try to make your local patron happy with walking away with less money than they have expected to lose? You guys have already done this decades ago it’s perfect. I’m in the market to stretch that. And I have a way we can add a sprinkle of zest called confirmation biased. This whole thing Would be like a gnarlier moolah, nothing like it at all. AT ALL. Nothing like any other game out.
I just stumbled onto this video, so I'm not sure if the term you used, "perceived persistence mechanics" is what I'm thinking of. While he was speaking, I was thinking about the many slots which feature a graphic of a pot which gradually fills with gold coins or such whenever a bonus symbol appears which doesn't result in a payout. This may telegraph whether a large payout happened recently or not, and feed the superstition that a machine is ready to payout, when in fact it has no bearing at all on the probability.
Rather deceptive in practice, but probably effective. I wonder if it might balance out though if superstitious players will avoid a machine with a nearly "empty pot"? Or are the machines programmed to "fill" that pot after they've sat idle for a period of time?
@@ciabelle281 These filled pots, growing pigs or illuminating chains of fireworks are what we describe internally as a "Perceive Persistence Mechanic".
The pots are usually triggered by a specific event, e.g. an incoming scatter. Internally, there is a probability table. For example, if the pot has 10 filling levels, the lower levels are filled with a higher probability than the upper levels.
On average, the second last level is reached at around 75% of the trigger frequency of the free games, so that the pot is usually almost full when the next free games are won purely by chance. However, there is no correlation between filling the pot and triggering free games, only a mathematically similar frequency. If free games have to be awarded, all missing levels of the pot are filled.
Free spins can be won at any time, regardless of how full the pot is.
If the pot is almost full, the chance of winning free spins is no greater.
@@ciabelle281from what I understand, the only ‘pots’ that actually have some potential value are those with for example extra spins/wilds/whatever built up, and especially if they have a must hit by number, then you are probably in a better position than average. A display showing a growing item alone generally means nothing.
@@ciabelle281
Excellent questions!! Unfortunately no one is answering.
Great talk! I find it's best to go into the casino level headed.
Their job is to take my money, all of my money. My job is to have fun, follow my rules and maybe walk away ahead.
Well said
I really have to thank channels like you and Cowboy Slots providing tips, debunked myths, building bankrolls and volatility to players. I went to Vegas twice and I have won about about $66k worth of jackpots on slot machines, following your tips, playing mainly three reel games like top dollar. I keep track my losses and it’s reasonably low like a few thousands dollars in losses, so either way I’m up. So I’m continue following your tip because you are the experts that know how these slot machines function.
All slot machines are rigged to steal your money that's it
Their channels are not "teaching people how to win" so when you post comments like this all you're saying is you got lucky. They are teaching people to play smarter and minimize losses.
Literally almost nobody is going to ever be up $66k on slots you are either a 0.0000001% of players or you are lying.
@@wh0racle3 bruh I never said that, I follow there step. Obviously it’s gambling at the end of the day, a logical adult with sense would know that. And I’m sorry haven’t been that lucky gambling, you are coming off kinda bitter off a public comment. 😑
I programmed computers for over 25 years. If there is a percentage payout, then there can not be random payouts. It has to be one or the other, but can not be both. If the payouts are random, and there are 4 bonuses. Mini, minor, major and jack pot. On a true random machine, then the bonuses should hit at a equal 25% rate. If you spend 1/2 on the slot floor, notice how many mini bonuses are hit as opposed to max bonus. You can spend 24 hours in a casino and not see a max bonus payout. If you are in a large casino with 3000 slots, you will see 10's of thousands mini's, 1000's of minors, hundreds of major, but not one max. The only random event is if the spin is a win or lose, after that everything is controlled by a program that keeps track of money going in and out. This program passes the payout amount to a display program. The display program then determines number of spins and pictures to be displayed. The pictures on the display do not determine the payout, be shows the out come. It may display line hits, free games or bonuses, but what you are to receive has already been determined.
There is a random part and a non random part. Just like picking out a card from a standard deck of cards. The act of you pulling out a card is random, but the control is it has to be one of 52 cards.
@@GambleSmart a spectrum within a spectrum maybe? best example i can give is this: a bonus is going to occur, but the amount of it is randomized. is that possible? seems it's still within the 'rules' that casinos must follow with their states gaming commission to do that type of randomization within a controlled environment...
I agree. What I understand after playing for several years is the casino is required by law to give back a certain percentage of what they take in, but that doesn't mean every machine is set to pay back a specific percentage. One machine might pay back 150% while another is set to pay 30% of what it takes in. Trying to find the machine that pays is the hard part. For instance, my sister hit a jackpot on the same machine 2 times in a month and goes to the casino about 4 times a month. She always plays the same machine. That tells me that it is a winning machine that is set to pay at a higher rate. If you go frequently and just watch, you will notice the same machines tend to hit, while other machines consistently lose. After you figure out which machines hit, it's all about whether you sit down at the right time. What I am trying to say is some machines are set to never pay a significant amount and are set to only give you kickbacks. While other machines may appear to be eating your money and then out of the blue they hit a jackpot. That's why I put very little into a machine and hope I sit down at the right moment. Chasing is a great way to lose a ton of money.
Yes! Thank you !! First expert to tell the truth here “ the ONLY random Event is if a spin is a win or loss but EVERYTHING ELSE is programmed “ !!! Thank you . This fact gets overlooked so many times !! They just keep Harping on the “RNG “ as a basis for the complete game is random but that leaves out so many things like the DESIGN of the machine.
That is what I thought. The machines are not random and are controlled by a pre set program. I am a nurse and I was always fascinated on how the human body works, so I knew there had to be more to the machine than a random spin. Thank you. You have answered my question. These guys weren’t able to answer. 😮😮😮
You have definitely impacted my way of thinking when it comes to slot machines. I am on board 100% when I listen to what you are telling me. I appreciate the fact that your channel has done all of the legwork and your team is willing to share that info with us to help improve our gambling experiences.
Thank you so much!
He killed me withthe foil hat! 🥳
Great information! Knowing this and believing this information hasn’t stopped me from getting wrecked at times when gambling, but when this happens I know and accept that the responsibility of the outcome lies squarely on my shoulders, not the casinos. Keep up the excellent content!
Slots have a random element but when a program determines a "payback percentage", they cease to be random. The program changes the choices the rng can pick from based on coin in. As more money is put in, the number of winning choices the rng can pick from also increases. This is done over such a long period of time it is impossible to anticipate results but these machines are not random. They absolutely make money for the casino.
here is an example of ramdom slot playing. one day i was in the high limit area of hardrock tampa, i found a low volitil game which i can't remember what it was called but i do remember it was a one line (for hits), and i put in 100 bucks, the first time i hit, the slot machine did not go so i asked a slot attendent and he said if i wanted to play max bet at $20 dollars a hit, i have to hit the button twice. so i did and on the first hit/double hit, i made $800.00!!! then the slot attendant walked by as i did this and said "hey nice win there"!!
As a gambler of 35+ years I agree 100% with Marc. It’s all based on luck and everyone has an equal opportunity to win or lose once you press that play button.. feeding thousands of dollars into a single machine doesn’t guarantee anyone in winning a progressive or a handpay jackpot. Good luck to everyone that likes to gamble.
Are you saying after so many years of gambling that you dont belive in hot machines?
@@Ninnoa I would expect that is EXACTLY what @FreedomSlots590 is saying - No such thing as a hot machine.
by far my favorite topic. I think most fall into this right away, I know I did, but you guys showed me the the reality. It now drives me crazy when I hear people saying a slot is hot or take out their players card to see if it helps winning. Great stuff as always!
It can be very freeing to learn how these machines really work. It allows you to focus on the things that really matter.
Marc what a great topic. It's one, I hv to say, I hv experienced. You've given me another piece of info to help me when I go to the Casino. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to start this channel and talk abt so many topics I can say hv wanted a real answer in and look forward to hearing more!😊
Glad it was helpful!
I ladder bet not to control anything but because I want to bet bigger but don't have the bankroll to sustain max bets and don't want to bet minimum all the time so it's a decent compromise for me
I've done the same. That is different then ladder betting to find what denom or bet is "paying".
Yeah, I’ve done the same but that’s different than trying to find the “sweet spot “
That's why I mentioned what I do because I believe it's true ladder betting stopping when you hit something isn't true
Makes things interesting too. You’re hoping to land a bonus on the higher bets of course. It’s like gambling within gambling.
Love the hat! Lol! You are EXACTLY right! Love it! We'll be watching tonight for sure! Love y'all! ❣️
HEY MARC, LOVE THE HAT!!, LOL. BUT, THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. YOU MAKE US BETTER GAMBLERS!! 😊
This was such a good video. When I am playing, I try to keep my emotions out of it. I don't get really excited when I win or bad when lose. When you get your adrenaline up it just leads to addiction. However, still working on leaving when I hit right away or when "it's just not my day." It's random.
Great information mark you just open my mind to a different way of thinking and gambling and processing all this information to make me a better gambler. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us.
Great to hear!
Great video and information, you speak eloquently about a difficult concept. Thank you for your integrity!
Thank you
I don’t have time to watch this now but based on what I’m seeing in the preview I have never been more excited to watch a video 😂😂😂
The behavioral research is so helpful to rationalize why human behavior is difficult to change. Just as nurses try so hard to have folks understand why it’s best for a diabetic for example to not overeat and choose foods lower in carbohydrates. Excellent thoughts.
Watching you and Brantley has taught me so much. I've been gambling 40 years and have never had a handpay or a line hit over $400. I think some people have more luck at gaming, plain and simple. I have close friends who bet the same way I do, and log two to three handpays a year. Luck is random too. Recently bet $.40 and got an $80.00 line hit. So that is equivalent to an $800 hit on a $4.00 bet. Those are my "big" wins and I'm happy with them. Well, kinda. I LOVE beating casinos at their mind games and walking out ahead, even if it's only by a little.
luck matters but its something uncontrollable. My wife was lucky for years on Keno, now its the opposite.
I get a handpay EVERY casino trip I expect it and get it
If you play small bets most of the time, handpays are going to be rare. I’ve only gotten one in my life, landed the highest progressive on Kronos on a $2 bet. I never do bets larger than $5. Doing larger bets will definitely increase the amount of handpays you get. If I played like many of the high rollers I watch on here that routinely do huge bets like $50 or $100 per spin or more, I most certainly would get lots of handpays. The reality of betting like that is that you will have massive wins at times but will have equally massive losses as well. I could bring say perhaps $10k with me, play large bets like that and certainly get multiple handpays. The odds are, I would still lose overall and lose big. It takes deep pockets to play like that.
@@gregrowe1168Very true! It's all relative to the bet size. But (lol) I know people who bet in the $2.50 to $5 range exclusively and they get the HP's. And they get them on the higher volatility games. One person also does incredibly well at scratch-off tickets . However, I have cheated death four times behind the wheel. So that's its own kind of luck eh?
This is wonderful information Mark. Thank you.
I’ve removed the letters RTP from my writing because you guys have addressed that issue numerous times.
Channel recommended today. Not my usual vid but had to watch just because of your choice of headgear 😂
Thanks Marc, great info
I know you are 100% spot on
I enjoy the programming you guys do.
It would be great if we heard from more tech management types to reconfirm what you guys say. For some reasons they are reluctant to come forward but I get that.
Loved the alien 👽 hat Marc. Thanks for the tips. I do appreciate what y'all tell me at least. Have a Blessed Wednesday.
Foil hat was sick! Great video,see you both tonite.
Thanks again for another very informative video! Hope to see you in April at Winstar.
Marc, I believe that your Tin Foil Hat works in the ca$ino to have me win. I will wear one when I go this weekend ! Thanx Marc 🎉
LOL
Love the hat!!!!! You know after playing slots for 58 years, and have been educated about RNGs and etc, I still have some thoughts on how slot machines work. Silly I know, but I play mostly "Classic" machines, and tell myself if I should continue, or move on just by the way the symbols are coming up. Thanks so much for your page, I so enjoy you guys sense of humor!!!!!!!
Not at all unusual for our brains to use pattern recognition to form our thoughts, even when we understand something is random. We can't really stop it because its subconscious behavior we can't really control. We can only override it after the fact. Many of us that understand it have these thoughts as well. The difference is we can override them with more logical critical thinking skills. That's why it so hard for some people accept how these machines actually work. They just accept what their brain is telling them about the patterns it is seeing.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Your passion and knowledge translates in the video. Thanks for another awesome topic!
We appreciate that!
Genius hat mark lol
Great information, thank you
Great session, To sum it all up, " THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT GAMBLING". Thanks Guys. 😎😎
Thank you so much 💓, it was a good session.
I really wish you could find someone willing to talk about class 2 and how it actually works. Very informative video.
We're trying!
Love the hat! Walking away with $20 after putting .75 cents in is one of my favorite walk aways. We were on our way to Acme Oyster in Harrahs in NOLO.
Well done!
Play the wheel on Diamond rain.
Marc, I love your brain smart foil hat! I also love your knowledge on how slots do work. Good Luck and stay safe! 👍
I have hit a jackpot then spun it off and hit another jackpot on same machine
I really enjoy your videos-even though I hate that they are true! LOL. I just got my Master's in Psychology and Addiction and many of my courses referred to gambling for perfect examples of biases. Having said that, I KNOW what you are saying is true and I STILL get into a "frenzy" at times playing slots. We all fall victim to the master manipulators that program these machines for "entertainment" but mostly for the casino advantage. Keep up the good work!
the more we learn from you, the better off we all will be!!
Thanks for sharing your great information about slots you are totally right on ❤
It's those screen knockers that blow me away !
It’s so annoying and the those button slappers
The BEST video on slots I have ever seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good topics Marc.
Great video. I learned a lot from it
. Good luck to you
Great show Mark ! Thank you
Great Video! It’s hard to Not fall into the myths and bias…(it makes it fun sometimes to believe them) if you sit on one machine all night because of randomness-I think it takes away from the experience😂
Love your stuff!
Great show Marc good info
Hahahaha, the hat!!! 😂 I freaking love it! When will these be on the website? 😂
LOL
So in essence we as a gambler have a very small change of winning a big jackpot. 😮😮
no, you have a very small chance of winning
Thank you. Great info😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Mark. Totally agree with you. I go to the Casino on a regular basis to play slots . It's fun entertainment . You never know what's going to happen and it's totally random. Yet I see people all the time making stupid decisions. Banging on machines, fast stopping, trying to trick the machines, etc etc
People atill get mind tricked
Love the video. I whole heartedly agree. I am a professional wrestler (gamble too) but going into pro wrestling I had to completely reset my mind on how I fall and take “bumps” because most people including myself was never taught how to properly fall on my back we tend to do the fallacy that we’ve seen from others or self taught that hey I need to use my hands or feet immediately when falling to catch myself when actually that’s bad it’s the same thing with gambling especially on slots we were told our entire lives or saw what other people were doing and saying like oh this casino has nothing but tight machines or hey if I fast stop the reels I’ll probably land it. It’s been nothing but myths and crap shoved down our throats to just accept it as machines are lucky and when they pay big stay away cause they won’t hit again for a long time. It’s just not true!! Us people who know that it’s just a world of calculators when you step through those doors know how to properly play. Convincing others that deeply believe it’s not will probably never come around and that’s okay it’s just like telling a hard nfl fan that it’s just a show. Well same thing they won’t believe. I’m glad that I’ve been gambling more and been much more successful because of you and cowboy slots. Never stop what you’re doing.
We appreciate you and I know Brantley does too.
That's why I miss the old coin-op slots. IF you put the coins in with 'heads' facing your chair, the ca$h would flow to you !! 🎰💵💰
😂
Oh yeah, that worked EVERY TIME! hahaha
spot on, two thumbs up
For me, this makes me enjoy slots more. I know it’s truly random so have fun and you may or may not win. Period.
I can't agree more! When I learned how they REALLY work it was so freeing! It's just me and my budget now!
LOVE THE HAT !
Aw, you removed your foil cone hat. 😂
Is the foil cone hat part of your merch? 🤔 😂
Great video😀
Hi have a couple questions, how and who sets the payback percentage, can those percentages be adjusted via offsite computers or only at the machine itself?
The developers design each game to have a limited amount of payback percentages the casinos can select from. The casinos can have the manufacturer configure the machine with one of the available options before delivery of the machine or the casino can configure one of the options themselves. Upon delivery of a new game the gaming commission has to be present to verify and document the settings and seal and/or lock the logic portion of the machine that holds these settings to prevent tampering. Once the machine is approved and placed in operation the casino can push a configuration to the machines (newer games only) but this "package" does not get configured. You can think of this like downloading a software update. You can get emailed a software update but until you access your email account and run the update it isn't installed. In any case, to change the payback the machine must be unsealed and/or unlocked by the gaming commission so the menus that allow the change to be made can be accessed by a slot tech. Once the settings are applied the gaming commission will again verify and document the new settings and seal and/or lock the logic portion of the machine to prevent tampering. So to make any changes to payback there have to be multiple parties involved and they need physical access to the machine. These processes not only protects you the player from having the casino change these settings at will but it also protects the casino from someone changing them without the casino's knowledge and approval.
hey marc, what about when you pplay the top dollar machine and you hit the bonus that gives you 4 offers and tells you to "try again" or "take the offer" is that something you schould go by when this happens?
Was actually going to do another video on this soon, so stay tuned :)
First time watching your channel, awesome I enjoyed it. I just subscribed 🎉
Welcome aboard!
You are a TRUTH TELLER!
Tinfoil hat! Love it!
One thing I noticed when I play my favorite machines at The WinStar which are Lucky Ducky and Red Hot Ruby mixed in with a few other VGT machines is the bingo showing possible hits patterns. It happens at each spin very quickly and the only time it has a chance to hit is when a pay pattern shows. It never pays if one of the patterns does not show and not always even if a pattern does come up. So why don’t all the machines have that bingo pattern?
So, is the bet denomination on the slot games fallacy, bias or both. Since slots are just random boxes waiting for the right moment, what is the purpose of having multi denomination bets across the board. Seems that if you wager .50 cents at anytime you could win the machines largest pot. So what I’m taking away from this is random luck says to just bet low and have chance luck riding on your shoulder.
I have a question. Is the 5 reels as a whole 1 random event or is each reel a random event (on their own) so 5 random events.
The outcome of the spin is the random event.
Quick question. Do you have any experience on the "skill game" slots here along the east coast and specifically Georgia? Do they operate by the same parameters and pay percentages?
The skill based games are quite different. Don't have any experience with them, so can't really speak on it.
Outcome bias is another, IE I stopped the reels that is why I won that bonus or I rubbed the screen and the jackpot hit. 🤣🤣🤣
My wife gets caught up in that. "I'm not winning. Someone is gonna sit down and win all my money back." Then there's me who answers her, "It doesn't work like that, babe."
The exception may be if she is playing a game with a must hit by progressive. I avoid these games because you do feel some "ownership" over the money you feed into it. But otherwise....yes keep trying to educate your wife. Pretty much all of us have been there until we learned it doesn't work like that.
@@kevinb4079 Exactly.
Those are somewhat random too though. You know when they are extremely close like the major is at $9900 and it’s a must hit by $10000 that’s it’s truly a no brainer to keep playing. Even then, it might take a few hundred spins to go off. If it ever gets to that point, you can guarantee nobody is giving that machine up. The irony even then is it might be linked to other machines and an adjacent player might hit it.
@@gregrowe1168 The difference is with a regular progressive, if you walk away and someone sits down and hits the progressive in their first spin it's nearly impossible that you would have hit it on your next spin. Whereas with a MHB progressive you certainly would have hit it on the next spin too. I also would never play a linked MHB game. I rarely play them. They're always stalked by advantage players. I just don't want any part of that scene.
@@gregrowe1168 Careful - even with just $100 to go, that major only goes up a penny or two every few spins. You could put in way more a few thousand to get it to trigger. For example: Playing $1 / spin and the major goes up 1/2 cent. You will pay $100 for that major to climb 50 cents. It may be set to trigger at $9990+. It has a long way to go. I would need to go to an ATM before it pays.
Good stuff Marc...its funny how [sum] people dont trust these machines [or games/casinos] and are just waiting to get robbed...but still end up in the casino droppin sum cash on said machines!! Ha!🤦♂️ See u guys tonite, vaca so I'll be ther!👍🎲🎰👍
I don't get that either. If someone really believes the casinos are doing all these things people claim they are doing why would they even go to the casino?
Moral of today, Don't chase just have fun. Walk away with that win.
Diggin that Balenciaga hat 👌
Are bonus games payout predetermined or is each individual spin completely random like every other spin? Especially bonus spins like hold and spin on a Lightning Link slot for example. Is that treated like one continuous spin? Does it matter how slow or how fast you play it? Like for instance if you perhaps stop and take a drink or just mash the spin button like a lunatic, will the outcome be the same?
Depends on the bonus, Free Games and the Spin and Hold feature are NOT predetermined. Each spin is a separate RNG stop. We actually addressed this question in our recent Coffee and Comments - here is the specific location: ruclips.net/video/mauYLcyPllk/видео.html
Hi thanks for information can you talk about how to get permission to videotape at a casino and how to get a host thanks again
Marc, pleeeeease answer if you know this: I fully realize the slots will have sometimes have runs of wins and runs of losses. It’s part of statistics. But my question is: If programmers comply with the stated payback of a certain chip in the long run are they allowed to program higher payback initially, let’s say the first 200 plays but then have a lower payback after that? I sure have experienced that a lot of times and am convinced they program that in.
Thanks
I didn’t think you’d know but thought I’d ask.
Everything you say is so true . But It's almost impossible to teach logic to gamblers. There is a quote from the 1800s that still rings true today, "Is it really not possible to touch the gaming table without being instantly infected by superstition?" luckily, I've never been affected by superstition. I gotta go now. I've got work to do. That chicken isn't gonna sacrifice itself before I go to the casino! 😈
Well said
So how do you explain the times that nomatter what machine you play you hit or lose. Its like cycles. Or how do you explain "hot" machines?
There can appear to be hot and cold cycles, but they aren’t intentionally programmed. It’s just part of randomness. It’s like you flipping a coin 20 times in a row. In some instances you might get 12 heads in a row, even though it’s supposed to be 50/50. This swings happen naturally in randomness, it’s just hard for our human brains to process.
@GambleSmart I didnt here you say that machine do not get hot or cold? Your just saying that them being hot or cold is out of our control and rather they are hot or cold really is random as well?
The concept it's not that difficult. The result of every spin of the reals in a slot machine is independent of every other one. Nothing more, nothing less.
I only have a casino that has Video Lottery Terminal slot machines (not the bingo ones). I know what the difference is between them and a regular slot machine. Can you do a video about the best way to play these machines? I know the house always has the advantage but is there an optimal strategy for VLT slot machines that will give me the best chance?
There really isn't a advantage play to be had on VLT just like any other. VLT is just another way of generating randomness. Instead of a RNG in the machine, it's an RNG with lottery results (from the state). I will admit though, I have not personally played any VLT machines.
Great video
Can you please please please do a video on cruise ship casinos? Way too many people are convinced that the slot returns are routinely changed mid-cruise and even overnight! Use whatever contacts you have to get the real story out!
Something I heard in an old video a long time ago covered the casino making an adjustment to the percentage payout and it said the poker video machines at the bar were fixed but the ones out on the floor could be adjusted. Is that true. Can we hear more about the adjustment of percentage payouts? Is a computer chip replacement used to make the adjustment? How does that work?
I'm sure they will cover this on this channel but Marc has already demonstrated this on other channels. It requires physical access to the machine and a gaming commission employee to be present with the key to access these settings. Don't let anyone tell you it can be done remotely. Besides, that payback % is a long term outcome that takes MANY (millions) to be fully realized. It's not like they can change it and the machine instantly starts paying out or taking in. The more spins the closer it gets to the configured %. The funny thing is, if they changed the payback % on a video poker game you could easily tell. What the hands pay would change since they can't change what cards are in the decks. This change would be completely noticeable to the player.
This video may give you an idea of how the games are locked by the gaming commission: ruclips.net/video/F_LFcnYsikU/видео.html
@@kevinb4079 Thanks. I have wondered about that for a really long time. Good video.
Does the RNG keep running during bonus free games?
Specifically for games like China Shores where you can win 1000 + free games.
Or is it already determined what you will win after the original bonus trigger, even if you retrigger more free games?
I've been told that whatever option you select to start the bonus whether it's the random Credit Prize, Free Games x2, or the free games x7,x12,x18 option you will get the same result. But thats not true cause sometimes the games gives you less or more than the range of the credit prize?
Are you familiar with Konami China Shores / Mayan Chief games?
Thank You, Great Info!
Free games are not predetermined, each spin is an RNG stop. BUT, what the RNG picks from can change based on the type of game. So you may see different reel sets, etc during the bonus games.
China shores, and mayan chief use to give me a lot of free games. Now its been 8,16,24 lol
What I don't understand is if every spin is random then how can it be programmed to pay out a certain percentage at the same time?
Is it possible for a machine to hit the jackpot 10 times in a row? How would that affect the payout percentage?
The video we posted today answers this question :) ruclips.net/video/1KHcXB5b-nw/видео.html
This has been ask and explained several times in these comments. It's all about the possible combinations that are being randomly selected from and the probabilities of a certain combination being chosen. This is why the most probable outcomes will pay nothing or a small amount while the least probable pay more. The math of these probabilities is not predictable from spin to spin but over the course of MANY MANY spins the laws of the math used are very predictable. Yes, it's possible for machine to hit a jackpot 10 times in row but it is not very probable. Just as it's possible a jackpot may not hit for many more spins then the exact probabilities say it should. There are variances on both sides and over time as the machine is played more and more , those variances will average out extremely close to what the math determined it would be. The more the game is played the more accurate the math will become as all of those variances in winning and losing get averaged. The more numbers you average the less a very small or very big number effects the average. You may be aware of this from taking tests in school. The more tests you take in a class and score high on means the less effect a test you score poorly on is going to effect your grade point average.
After my extensive research, I have found the perfect method “STOP GAMBLING” that’s it. My major downfall was when I would walk away from a loosing machine, then someone else sits down and hits a big one, I would kick myself thinking that I left too soon but as we know, that’s not true the outcome might not have been the same if I continued playing.
i was at a roulette table in Harrahs. Zero came up 3 times in a row, i was there i saw it, odds are 54,872 to 1. -Dino
2 questions I can't reconcile
#1 can slot odds be adjusted on the fly
#2 how can the payout percentage be controlled if it's totally random
#1 No, they can not. It requires regulatory approval (gaming commissions). They have to physically come out and unseal the machine, witness the change, then reseal the machine. Not something most casinos go through the trouble on.
#2 Our tip from yesterday addresses this: ruclips.net/video/1KHcXB5b-nw/видео.html
@@GambleSmart thank you very much very informative appreciate it
Hey Marc, Nice hat! Does it get hooked into a slot machine so you can read the RNG 😂? I played your video for my wife, who is the great skeptic. Randomness doesn't seem to compute for her, even after she played 5X- 10X with me and hit for $1,000. Your message really got her thinking, but she still has questions 🤔. I'm sure she'll eventually come around, albeit slowly.
It takes time - it's not an easy thing for most people to grasp. But, when it clicks - it clicks.
After reading quite a few comments my take away is that there is still a lot of “yeah buts” and confirmation bias from self described computer programmers and software techs. Every spin is a completely random event just like every flip of a coin is a completely random event. Some folks just can’t wrap their heads around that.
you forgot to tell them to turn the volume all the way up and don't play with a players card they are tracking how much they pay you
I post similar things all the time to facebook threads. The conspiracy theories and myths are exhausting. Keep up the good work! It’s the RNG, people!
What about Automated CRAPS...with the dice in the glass bubble. Are the dice ever manipulated by giving a slight nudge at the end to take away a winner????
No, that can not be controlled outside of an RNG.
So you are saying the number is pre-determined and then the dice "shake" that number????@@GambleSmart
Love love the hat 💕💕💕💕💕
I want to know why in bonus rounds that the mini or minor or lowest multiplier hit 99 percent of the time. Are their different rules during bonus rounds?
It's because it's heavily weighted to the smaller amounts. Thing of a bowl full of 100 ping pong balls. 1 of them is the Grand, 2 are the Major, 10 are the Minor and the other 87 are Mini. The RNG still picks a ball from the bowl at random, but as you can see, it's most likely going to be the Mini in this example.
@@GambleSmart Haha - It seems more like 1000 ping pong balls with the Mini being 987!!
Marc a little off topic here but do you know a good company that ships Slots machines? I have one under warranty need to ship from Socal to Ohio thanks.
Yes, I recommend Beltmann. They are kind of pricey, but you don’t have to palletize. They just come pick it up and wrap it.
@@GambleSmart Marc thanks so much i appreciate it.
After watching that video, I want to know if some machines pay out more than others. Or picking a machine. Is there anything to that.
We did a video yesterday that helps to explain this: ruclips.net/video/7vJeYAwqL34/видео.html
