Casino Slot Machines

[ English ]

Modern casino slot games are controlled by computer software, and the win %s are pre-programmed into the gaming software.

Casino slot machine games have RNGs which are continually generating combos, even when the slot machine game is not active.

Running collectively with the Random Number Generator of the casino slot machine is the payout rate percentage.

The pay out percentage controls how much the slot machine will pay out, for eg the pay out % might be 90%, meaning the slot machine game will payout 90% of all the wagers played, … the casino simply gets to keep 10 per cent.

This does not mean that each and every time you bet ten credits you will receive nine in return – where’s the fun and exhilaration in that? Instead, the casino slot just won’t payout for a little while, and then suddenly jump on a hot streak and you might draw the big top prize.

The payoff %s will most likely vary between the differing games and a few of the notably popular casinos, for e.g Golden Online Casino, which puts forth a cash payment of up to ninety-five per cent!

Thus, in essence, the one-armed bandit takes all the cash played into it and pays it out to a number of fortunate winners. The casino only gets to keep a fairly low per cent of all the wagers allotted.

The casino one armed bandit software controls each part of the machine, from the dazzling lights to the revolving of the reels.

When you hit spin on the one-armed bandit, a combination is formed by the RNG which relates to the pictures on the reel.

 

Slot Machine Location

[ English ]

Books have been set forth on this matter, and the bickering and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still passionate – 60 years after one armed bandits were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our observation is that this is not so anymore.

Nearly all of the large casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines near any of the doors.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, we find that this also isn’t a universal rule any more.

What casinos found over the years is that people walking down the busy aisles were frequently on the way to somewhere else. If they played the slots at all, they would simply put in their loose change because they happened to be walking by. Win or lose, they would very often not stop to keep playing. And the last thing a casino wants is for someone to win a jackpot by playing only a few coins and then not stay to put it all back in!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
