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.
.
THE GAME.
The "Dream House" slot machine is a "Three lines" payout with a 5000 Coins Jackpot.
-1 coin : you play line 1.
-2 coins : you play lines 1 and 2.
-3 coins : you play lines 1, 2 and 3.
HOW TO PLAY.
1. Select the coin value you want to play.
2. Verify that you have credits in the credit window.
3. Press "Bet1" "Bet2"or "Bet3" (3 coins), depending on how many coins you want to bet, then "Spin" it will start spinning automatically. Bet Max" will start spinning automatically using "3 coins".
SPECIAL FEATURES :.
The game bonus symbol activates the Bonus Wheel. The symbol showing up on this wheel determines your position on the bonus table.
I had a white rat named Elmo who didn't get fed until he learned to press
a bar in his cage. Whenever he pressed it, a pellet fell into his dish.
Elmo quickly learned to press the bar when he got hungry.
Then one day we (the professor and the rest of us budding psychologists)
changed the rules. Sometimes we gave Elmo dinner when he pressed the bar
- and sometimes we didn't. poor Elmo no longer knew when to expect his food.
So you know what he did? He pounded that bar relentlessly until the food
finally came. Sound familiar?
The biggest lesson we learned from Elmo was that if you want to make
behavior stick, don't reward it all the time - reward it now and then.
This strategy is called random reinforcement, and it's the same principle
at work on us when we play slot machines.
