Slot Machine Hits and Myths
Casino
Most players new to the games do not know how the slots work, and many beliefs have grown over when to play a certain machine, or when to avoid it.
Change machines after a big jackpot-it won't payout again for some time.
From a money point of view, it makes sense to pocket the win, abandon the machine and go home. But the machine is not due to go cold. The odds of another jackpot hit occurring are exactly the same as the first time.
Play a machine that has gone a long time without paying out - it's due to hit.
Not true. As before, machines are not programmed to run hot or cold at a particular time, but it may be worth cutting your losses after a long winless streak.
Casinos place 'hot' machines on the end of aisles.
A myth that is so widespread that end machines get a greater amount of play, no matter how much they pay. The truth is that not all machines in the same casino have similar payout percentages. And it's true the casinos want new customers to see other players winning.
But actual placement is a more compex art.
Payback percentage is lowered when the crowds are bigger and demand greater.
Again not true. The payback percentage can only be altered by replacing a machines' computer chip.
Not something that can be done by remote control.
