Common Slots Myths

Ever heard the theory to stay away from a slot machine that has just awarded a big jackpot?

Well, it's wrong.  There is no accurate evidence that proves if a slot machine pays out big, it will no do so again for an extended length of time.  Remember that slots are governed by Random Number Generators, which do not even know themselves when a jackpot is awarded. All they know is that a certain percentage (payout percentage) of winnings should be paid out based on the total amount of wagers.  There is no reason why you should pack up shop and switch to another slot after you have won a big jackpot.
 

Ever heard the rumor that online casinos will tighten and loosen selected slots in order to meet their payout quota?

If you have, don't believe it.  First of all, the casino software is programmed to meet a targeted payout percentage.  There is no reason why an online casino, or land-based casino for that matter, would need to tighten or loosen a slot machine - The software delivers as it is programmed to.  If the software was tampered with, auditors who review the casinos payouts for every game each month, would surely see a discrepancy in the software.
 

Heard the wives tale that if a slot machine has not put out a large jackpot for an extended period of time, it is bound to do so shortly?

Well, if you remember the theory about a slot machine that has just hit big, you would know that this rumor is malarkey as well.  Once again, the Random Number Generator does not know on what machine or when it will pay out again.  It is a series of programmed numbers moving in such a fast and irregular pattern, that when the numbers line up to give the command to pay out again, it could be several minutes later, or it can be in the very next hundredth of a second.
 

Ever wondered that if you turned off your computer just a few seconds later, you would have won the next progressive jackpot?

Although this is a natural fear, there is nothing you can do that will surely answer this question.  More than likely, you still would have missed the jackpot.  The Random Number Generator (RNG) can produce new winning combos every hundredth of a second - So, to say that if you waited two minutes longer to make your next bet you would have hit the winning jackpot, is like saying that if I you got a little more sleep the night before then you would have clicked the mouse faster and consequently hit the jackpot at the exact hundredth of a second the RNG produced a winner.

Have you ever heard "gambling professionals" say that slots have some of the worst odds in a casino, and are a waste of time?

Now you can tell them they are wrong.  There is no way of predicting when any gambling game is going to be a winner.  Even if the odds are better from one game to the next, there is always an unknown factor producing the outcome of every event.  Besides, the odds for online slots are actually better than many other games.
 

Heard another player say that an online casino or slots room is going to increase their payouts during a tournament?

Sure you have.  Too bad it's not true.  Other than tampering with the Random Number Generator, which would irrevocably offset the monthly payout percentages for an online casino, the only way a casino could increase the payouts during a gambling game is to increase the actual odds of that game - in effect, change the rules of the game, which any casino would be out of their mind to do.
 

Ever played at a slot machine, thinking all the symbols have an equal chance of hitting on the reel?

If you have, you are not alone.  Many players do not take the time to read the rules of the slot they are playing.  Remember to always study up on the payout schedule of a slot machine before giving it a spin.  If you were to do some math on why certain symbol combos pay out more than others, you will find the reason to be because certain symbols are fewer in number than others.
