Slot Machine Myths Debunked: Understanding How Slots Work
Slots are an everyman’s game. From minimum bettors to high rollers, anyone can enjoy a spin at the one-armed bandit. That’s not to say, however, that certain players don't have rituals, techniques, or other strategies they believe improve their odds of winning. But do these tactics truly work? And if they do, how can you use them to line up those cherries and take home a pile of dough? Well, your…, Myth 1: Machines That Haven’t Paid Out in a While are Due for a Win, This is a common theory that, on the surface, makes a lot of sense. For those who believe in luck, a cold streak can only last so long, and a series of wins is inevitable after taking multiple losses. But slot machines don’t follow this logic. This is because: Each spin is random—on digital and analog machines. Your current spin is independent of previous turns outside of minigames, bonus rewards…, Myth 2: Bigger Bets Increase Your Odds of Winning, Since bigger bets equate to larger returns, players can be quick to assume putting down a huge wager likewise increases their chances of winning overall. Unfortunately, this belief is false due to a legal framework called Return-to-Player rates (RTP). RTPs are dictated by the jurisdiction in which the casino operates. They set a minimum standard for how much money, as a percentage of what players…, Myth 3: Slots Pay Out Less When You Use Player Rewards Cards, This persistent, pesky myth is not only wrong, it’s detrimental to avid players hoping to collect points as they play their favorite slots. The fact of the matter is that this claim is categorically false. Whether or not you insert a rewards card, slot machines don’t: Change your chances of success Pay out lower winnings Affect your play in any way Feel free to insert your player card—including…, Myth 4: Video Slots Have Lower Odds Than Mechanical Machines, This myth lives on as players feel more in control with mechanical machines. They can pull the arm, see the wheels turning, and witness them fall into place with the (correct) assumption that the outcome was determined from the start of the spin. On the other hand, certain players believe a video screen will change a potential win into a loss to avoid paying out. Due to the aforementioned rules…, Myth 5: Certain Machines Are Hot and Known to Pay Out More Often, Just like certain players believe a cold machine is due for a profitable turnaround, many think specific hot machines reward players more than other slots. This is completely untrue and any hot streaks observed on single machines are easily explained by: A random, unrelated string of wins that just so happen to occur at a specific machine A single, large jackpot that gets everyone excited about a…, Myth 6: Casino Employees Can Change Your Game’s Outcome, Aliens are more likely to interfere with your slot machine’s outcome than casino staff. As mentioned, RTP dictates how much money a machine pays out and those rates are set by local laws. RTP isn’t the only rule governing slot machines, however. Regulations vary from state to state, but they’re always heavily controlled and monitored. Casino employees have no way to influence the results of a…, Myth 7: External Factors Can Influence Your Odds, Many players believe a crowded casino leads to better chances of winning. Others say the time of day you play matters more than anything else. But, realistically, neither of these is true. The only factors that affect your outcome are a machine’s RTP and the randomness of your particular spin. Luck may be part of it, but the conditions inside the casino have no influence on your results., Put Your New Slot Knowledge to the Test at Ocean Casino Resort, Now that you know the ups and downs of slots, why not exercise your knowledge in real life with a trip to Ocean Casino Resort?
