Learn about the Mysteries around Slot Machines

Slot machines myths are floating around the gambling industry . But here we set the record straight.

A very tricky myth is that every slot machine runs on pay cycles and take cycles. So stay away from the machines that are taking and find one that is due to pay. Well this fact is not true. No slot machine , online or land based, in today’s world runs off cycles. Every machine runs off RNG’s (random number generators) that as you will see, determines when a machine will pay. The RNG’s are pre programmed into every machine and at each point in time; every spin is completely independent from the last and the one before it and so on. Taking this into consideration, it is impossible for pay and takes cycles to exist. We will notice that many myths are simply not true, due to the function of the RNG.

Another myth that floats around is that the casino may reward a certain player with a jackpot or big win here and there to encourage them to spend more. Besides, if you never win, you will get bored and spend your money on other casino games. Although these sounds like it would be a good idea for the casino, it is completely illegal and will never happen in any casino. Bringing us back to our old friend: the RNG, we can’t stress enough, every slot machine is equipped with an RNG and thus every outcome of every spin is completely random, no matter who is playing what game and where. Casinos may reward big spenders with extra bonus dollars or free rooms and meals but who wins the jackpot is totally up to the RNG.

A bad strategy which some people believe is the best but is not, consists to start off on a machine playing small amounts or the minimum coins required in order to warm it up. But by now I bet you know why, and yes! It’s because of the RNG. You have just as much chance of hitting the jackpot on your first spin as you do on your 20th spin.

And finally, if you are a math brain and heard that you can beat a machine by calculating the odds of each symbol hitting the pay line; don’t quit your day job. Calculating odds on a slot machine is impossible. The RNG’s function is produce numbers for every spin. These numbers correspond to a specific area of the reel and there are literally hundreds of stops that each reel could make. With over two hundred stops on each reel, means that on a 3 reel slot machine, millions of different combinations can be generated.

So as you can see, the function of the Random Number Generator puts to rest any myths you may have heard or believed when it comes to playing slot games . Although every spin is random and completely independent from every other spin, there are a few tips that can help lead you in the right direction of becoming the most successful slot player you can be.
