Best Answer

While older slot machines used a mechanical/mathematical approach (the number of icons on each wheel, combined with the required combination of those to yield various winning matches), today's typical slot machine are completely computerized. They generate thousands of random combinations per second, and when you pull the handle (or push the button), the cycle stops and you get the number it was up to. The handle, the slowing-down of the wheels, etc., are there simply for historical purposes.

Do you believe there is one or more slot machines in any given casino that are set in the players favor and if so why?

Yes and No. As the saying goes 'the house always wins'. Many slot machines in casinos have a set payout rate; usually in the ranges of about 90-98% (the highest payout rates are in Las Vegas). The 2% that doesn't pay out goes to the casino, they make huge amounts of money from slot machines, even at the highest payout rates. In terms of them being in players favor many gamblers who have made a living from casinos have always stated that the best chances to make gains are with the slots rather than using a system with roulette or Blackjack. The payouts with the slot machines are on average a lot more than the table games. When you look at games like Roulette you have a 48% chance of winning on a European Roulette table and 47% chance of winning on the American Table. Compared to a 90-98% payout rate on the slots you can see why a lot of people say the slots are in the players favor.

How many games are in a casino?

There are three general categories of casino games: table games, electronic gaming machines, and random number ticket games such as Keno and simulated racing. Gaming machines, such as slot machines and pachinko, are usually played by one player at a time and do not require the involvement of casino employees to play. Random number games are based upon the selection of random numbers, either from a computerized random number generator or from other gaming equipment. Random number games may be played at a table, such as roulette, or through the purchase of paper tickets or cards, such as keno or bingo.


How many times do you play a slot if it does not hit before you go to another one?

Every class III slot machine is controlled by a random number generator (RNG) which insures that each spin is a random, independent event. It is a fallacy to believe that machines are programmed to run in "hot" or "cold" cycles. You could lose thirty spins in a row and hit the jackpot. Then on your very next spin hit the jackpot again. Players cannot figure out patterns on slot machines because each spin is a random event. Unfortunately, switching machines after a certain number of losses will not improve your chances of winning.
