Exactly what are the odds for the different payouts on slot machines?

Answer 1

There is no way to determine the odds for a slot machine other than a Poker game. The payout odds for a slot machine are not displayed anywhere on the machine. Only the pays are displayed and you cannot determine the odds from this info.

Since all of the game info is available for poker, if you have one of the many poker books available you can determine the odds for these games. There are too many unknown variables with slot machines.

ALL gaming machines,MUST,by law,now clearly display overall % odds,(usually quite close to coin aperture),by way of a small 'plaque/sticker',quoting something like: 'This machine is designed to pay out a minimum of ** %,however a sucession of close wins may reduce overall odds''

That's most simple way of getting an idea of what's available to you.

However,there is an alternative to this,(although I wouldn't recommend it !),is to obtain a 'refill key',(easily available on eBay for couple of £'s),these are a universal fitting for most slot machines in Great Britain,although Iv'e heard they are going to be changing this shortly.

With key,just insert into 'fruitie',and on LCD,there will be a display on view,and by using various hold buttons,which vary with each make/model,you can easily see many details the owner/operator doesn't want you to know,believe me!IE:last payout,% payout setting,% payout achieving,and probably most important exactly how much ££'s is obtainable from hopper/chute.,plus a lot of other valuable info if you are planning on playing that certain machine.

Hope that helped a little in your question

Answer 2

That's a really tricky question because the odds vary so much between different slots Also, slots with the same name can vary in their payback. Sometimes what looks to be the same slot, but in a different location in a casino can have very different odds of winning the jackpot. I would advise buying one of the many good books on slots out there to really get to grips with the question (sorry, not much good as an answer, but it is really complex) In the meantime, this link may help explain a little about payback - http://www.penny-slot-machines.com/Tips/slot-pay-back.html - Don't play slots in UK betting shops unless you wnat to lose your cash! The slots in Vegas casinos are much better, with payback on most popular machines, like those made by IGT, often over 95% Also, for a list of Online IGT Slots and their payback percentages, take a look at this link - http://www.penny-slot-machines.com/IGT-Wagerworks/payback-percenta.html - you can see how much they vary, even from the dame manufacturer!

Answer 3

There are no "signs" that tell if a slot machine is about to pay off. What shows up in the window for possible cash win combinations is purely at random. Some slot machine experts insist otherwise and still others have used some mathematical efforts to try and figure it out, but I don't think any have yet been proven as working all the time. Each and every spin is a random event in a slot machine. The only possible "sign" that a slot machine might possibly be close to paying a jackpot is if it is a progressive that has reached it's limit. For example, if the limit is $7500 and it is already there, then the chances of hitting it are slightly better.

Answer 4

One may determine the odds of winning Roulette in that there are 36 numbers to choose from so one's ideal odds of winning are 1 in 36. However, those betting on Red, Black, Odds, or Evens have a better chance in winning since their chances are about 47.5% due to the possibility of the house winning.

Answer 5

To determine the odds of winning a game of slots it depends entirely on the particular slot machine. It also depends on the amount put into the slot machine.
