Here are some of my favorite slot machine secrets and myths. Maybe
you have heard some of these too, there quite amusing to say the least.
You can spot a winning slot machine. The only way you'll
spot a winning slot machine is when the bells are ringing and the
money is dropping. Slot machines use random number generators and
that's exactly that. Random.
Casinos place loose slots near the cashier, aisle ways, etc.
If this were true, it would be the only machines anyone would play. A
casino mixes slots all over the casino floor. No one with any
experience at playing slots would make a statement like this.
Count the number of symbols on the reels to determine your
odds. This is mathematically impossible, remember the RNG (random
number generator) determines the stops. There is literally millions of
combinations on a 3 reel slot machine, so there is no way of
determining odds by the symbols on the reels alone.
Casinos can tighten or loosen slot machines from the back
office. In order to change how a slot will payout is by changing
the computer chip. No casino can just flip a switch.
A slot machine that has not been paying is due to hit.
Absolutely false. The RNG assures this. You have an equal chance of
winning on a losing machine as you do on a machine that just paid out
the jackpot.
Pulling the slot machine handle produces more wins than
pressing the spin button and visa versa. Again false. It make no
difference, as the computer only uses these as mechanisms to start the
game. Only the computer determines a win or a loss and it has already
determined if you are a winner or loser even before the first reel
stops spinning.
Playing with hot coins improves your chances. It makes no
difference. Once again, the computer determines a win or loss and
the temperature of the machine or money is irrelevant. Although it's
funny that people still burn their fingers with lighters believing
this works.
Casinos set slot machines to payback more on the weekends.
Wrong again. Your odds of winning are the same no matter if it's
4:00pm Monday, 8:00pm Saturday or 3:00am Wednesday. Casinos can not
and do not do this.

One of the latest additions
to the Microgaming slotmachines is this 5 reel 15 pay-line
slots game, Real Strike. The theme is deep sea fishing. This
slotmachine has a bonus game (with free spins and mystery
multipliers), a Scatter and a Wild symbol. The coin size
starts at only $0.01 and the maximum is $0.50 (with a maximum
of 10 coins per line and 15 lines that makes a maximum bet of
$75 per spin possible!). All wins pay left to right. The
jackpot is 10,000 times your line-bet when you hit 5 Wild.
symbols on an activated pay-line.
To
qualify for the bonus game you must have five Bonus symbols
displayed in a line, on an enabled payline. In the bonus game
six boats are displayed. Behind each boat is a random number
of free spins or the multiplier amount. You choose a boat and
your free spins or multiplier is displayed. You are guaranteed
a win during any of the free spins. The winnings in the bonus
game are already multiplied by the number of coins you are
betting per payline.
Chain Mail bonus slot is a 5 reel, 20 payline, 200 coin slot machine with a wild/multiplier symbol, a scatter symbol, and a Castle bonus game. Three Bonus Gate symbols displayed on reels 1, 3 and 5 activate the Castle bonus game. There is no payout for any Bonus Gate symbol combination. In the Castle bonus game there are five rows of seven doors. You choose one door from each row to reveal your bonus win amount. The Castle bonus game has two special symbols, the Princess Roxy symbol and the Uncle Mordread symbol. If you find the Princess Roxy symbol, you are paid all the win amounts behind each door in that row and move to the next row. If you find the Uncle Mordread symbol, the game ends and you are automatically returned to the regular game.
