If you hit big on a machine you won't hit again.
Not true! - Slot machines have a computer chip that operates the
random number generator that causes a variation from 1 to several
billion combinations in a matter of milliseconds beginning the second
you spin. Whatever the number the random number generator is on in that
split second that you spun is what you see on the screen. This number is
compared by the computer chip, to a table in the memory and the result
is the combination you spun.
The casino can, at will, loosen the slots or tighten them up.
Not true! - The payout rates are set and can not be changed by the
casinos and these rates are audited by outside companies insuring fair
play. You must consider that a reputable casino puts it's reputation on
a very high set of standards and even attempting to change the payouts
would risk the integrity that the casino has built for itself.
If a machine hasn't hit in awhile it is due to hit.
Not true! - .The games are totally random due to the Random Number
Generator and do not 'remember' when it hit last and does not predict
when it will hit again. I have played at land based casinos and sat at a
particular machine for hours several days in a row and it never hit. And
on the same train of thought, I have hit a particular machine two or
three times in one sitting.
If you get up from a machine and someone else sits down and hits
the big one, this means that if you hadn't moved you would have won.
Not true! - No matter whether it's you or the next person in line, the
spinner must hit the spin button at the precise time that the Random
Number Generator lines up with the winning combination. The odds of you
hitting the button at the same millisecond as the 'next' player are not
calculatable.
You are least likely to win at a slot machine.
Not true! - .Slot machines have among the highest payouts of any
video gambling machines.
Odds are changed to pay higher on weekends or other high traffic
times.
Not true! Again going back to the integrity of the casino and the
ability to change the payouts, the casino has no control over this as it
is all done with the Random Number Generator and in the case of land
based casinos, the machines arrive at the casino with the Random Number
Generators preset.
All winning combinations have an equal chance of being hit:.
Not true! -. The larger the payout on a win, the smaller the
chance a player has to get that win. Therefore, a player most likely
will win many small combinations in a sitting,
and winning the actual big payoff has a much less probability of being
hit. This is why it is called gambling, you're taking a chance and have
no assurances of winning but you
do have the promise of a fair chance.That's all for now. If

Food Fight!
is a 5-reel bonus game slot machine. To view the pay table you
must click on the “Pay Table” button located next to
the red “Cash Out” button on the lower left side of
the machine. It may be played in denominations of 1¢, 5¢,
25¢, 50¢, $1, and $5. To play, put money in the machine
by clicking on the chips in the lower right corner and press
“Bet Max.” This will play the maximum bet (9 paylines
and 45 coins), giving you the maximum chance to win and automatically
spins the reels. If you’d like to play fewer lines or fewer
coins per line, just select the lines you want by using the “Select
Lines” and “Bet One” buttons. When you have the
bet you’d like, just press “Spin,” and wait for
a win. Win by lining up food icons on any of the nine pay lines.
Receive three pieces of an ice cream cone sundae (ice cream cone,
ice cream and ice cream topping) and watch them combine to give
you a bonus win! Get three pieces of a pie (Pie Plate, Pie Filling
and Cherry) anywhere on your screen and enter the food fight
bonus round, where you can finally get revenge on those people
from your past. Choose your victim, and when you’ve selected
your target, just click on the “hand” holding the pie
to let the splattering begin. You win the coins for each person
that you hit. Once you miss, the bonus game is over and you keep
the bonus that you have won thus far. The amount you win is dependent
on the total amount of coins you have played, so the more coins
you bet, the more you can win. All of the pays, with the exception
of the bonus game winners, are played from left to right. That
means that you win when you line up the icons starting from the
leftmost wheel. To see what each combination pays, just click
on the “Pay Table” button. Line up five pudding symbols
on any active pay line and win the progressive jackpot.

Multi-line Machines Add a Meaningful Choice to Slot Play .
The slot machines dominant in the '90s gave players little flexibility for tailoring games to meet meaningful personal preferences. Differences like symbols on the reels were cursory, and serious options were accordingly limited. True, there was a pick of denomination -- $0.25, $0.50, $1, and so on. Another choice was giant jackpots with infinitesimal chances of hitting, modest meed with merely minuscule prospects of prosperity, or somewhere in between. And there were alternatives that few folks ever fathomed, like machines where extra coins bought more confusing ways to win as opposed to bigger returns and bonuses.
The nickel and other multi-line machines now proliferating at punting palaces across the ever-widening wagering world offer solid citizens additional diversity. This, more significant in shaping session performance than most slot fans yet fathom. For a particular amount dropped into the hopper of hope per round, it's the trade-off between more money on fewer lines or the converse.
Slot machines differ among games, to the extent that two devices may look identical, yet don't necessarily have the same inner workings. Further, the relationship between what players do and what they get involves the unpredictable intervention of chance rather than the certainty of cause and effect. So a painstakingly precise analysis entailing the probabilities and payoffs of one particular machine won't apply exactly to another. Intuitive understanding of what to expect, among any proficient gambler's greatest talents, is far better served using a simplified model.
For this purpose, picture a hypothetical five-line nickel machine. Make believe it takes up to five coins per line and has only one return level -- $0.15 for every $0.05 bet on a winning line. Experienced bettors know this means you win 2-to-1, a nickel earns you a dime, since the $0.15 includes your own money -- the $0.05 bet you didn't lose. Say you're comfortable risking $0.25 per spin. You could do it in various ways, the extremes being a quarter on one line or a nickel on each of five lines.
If the chance of winning were 31 percent, this game would have a payback of 93 percent. About average for the nickel slots.
The 93 percent return isn't affected by your decision to play one line at quarter or five at a nickel each. But, the net wins and losses per spin, and the chances associated with them, do change.
Betting $0.25 on a single line, you have 31 percent chance of winning $0.50 and the complementary 69 percent chance of losing your quarter. Betting $0.05 on each of five lines, probabilities and profits are as shown in the following list.
Chances of various wins and losses on hypothetical machine, betting $0.05 on each of five lines
no of probability net profit hits or loss
0 15.64% lose $0.25
1 35.13% lose $0.10
2 31.57% win $0.05
3 14.18% win $0.20
4 3.19% win $0.35
5 0.29% win $0.50
These figures demonstrate how distributed bets dampen expected ups and downs. Shifting the total from one bet to five drops forecast $0.25 losses from 69 to 15.64 percent, and only 50.77 percent of all spins are projected to lose anything. Big wins are also fewer -- the chance of earning $0.50 is below one percent with $0.05 per line, versus 31 percent betting all-or-nothing. But, a nickel win in the multi-line mode is expected slightly more often than $0.50 going for broke, and the other payoffs bring the overall shot at winning something to 49.23 percent.
Smaller bankroll swings characterizing each round of multi-line play ultimately keep players in the game longer on a given stake. Say you start with $50 and bet $0.25 per spin. The chance of being in action for at least 2,000 spins, about three hours of fast fingering, is 78.8 percent with a quarter on one line. It's higher, 98.5 percent, with a nickel on each of five lines. Sumner A Ingmark, celebrated songster of the slots, said it like this: You cannot win if you don't play, So temp'ring risk may save the day
