Operation M.Y.O.W.
(Make Your Own Win) is a 3-reel game where players choose from
five different pay tables and each pay table is displayed on
the machine. It may be played in denominations of $.05, $.25,
$.50, $1, and $5. The theme of this slot machine is feline (cat)
with an Asian flair with pay table symbols including Coi, Dragons,
Flowers, etc. In addition, cat icons represent the five lucky
colors. Each pay table has a distinctive name and lucky color.
The names are: Lucky (White), Catman (Purple), Kung Fu Kitty
(Yellow), Catzilla (Green), and The King (Pink). Players have
the ability to scroll through the set of five different pay tables
and play on the one that they choose. The player chooses between
the different pay tables at anytime by selecting a prominently
displayed ‘Next Paytable’ button. Each pay table has
different payouts, but the wheels work the same regardless of
which one the player has chosen. A player can change, at any
time, to a new pay table and each one has its own flavor. The
players’ choice does not affect the way the wheels stop.
Overall, the pay tables have very similar odds to the player.
The Blue Star symbol is wild and substitutes for
any other symbol to complete winning combinations,
and increases the payout.
A single Blue Star symbol pays out 3x any combination
it completes.
Two Blue Star symbols pay out 9x any combination
they complete.
Three Blue Star symbols on the payline
create a winning combination as shown in the Payout
Table, and do not multiply your win.
Example:
1. A single Blue Star symbol on the payline completes
the winning combination of a single Cherry symbol.
With 2 coins bet, a single Cherry symbol combination
pays out 4 coins. However, a Blue Star symbol is displayed,
so the payout is 4 x 3 = 12 coins.
2. Two Blue Star symbols and a 3-Bar symbol on the
payline, combine to produce a three 3-Bar symbols
combination. With 2 coins bet, a three 3-Bar symbols
combination pays out 100 coins. However, two Blue
Star symbols are showing, so the payout is 100 x 9
= 900 coins.
3. Two Blue Star symbols and a Seven symbol on the
payline, combine to produce a three Seven symbols
combination. With 2 coins bet, a three Seven symbols
combination pays out 200 coins. However, two Blue
Star symbols are showing, so the payout is 200 x 9
= 1,800 coins.
Once a machine pays off, don't play it again because it won't pay off again for some time.
The machines have absolutely no ability to keep track of what has happened in the past. The results are totally random, the slot machine is as likely to pay off on the next pull as it would have
if a jackpot had not been won.
Slot machines near the entrances to casinos pay off more than other machines.
This belief is based on the assumption that winning machines near the entrance will attract passerby's into the casino. However, today there is no need for casino operators to attract people to
play slots, so if it was true in the past it most likely doesn't apply to today's reality.
Casinos can change the odds of a machine so beware of any casino employee fiddling around near the machines.
The payoffs on every slot machine are coded on a computer chip inserted into the machine when it's manufactured. Casinos, slot technicians, etc. cannot alter the payoffs.
If a slot machine advertises a 95% payback then I should expect a return of $95 for every $100 I put into the machine.
The payback percentages are long term percentages. The long term outlook allows the casinos to average income from the machines over time, which is much longer than the time you would
take to play $100 in a machine. In the short term (the time you would take to play $100) the machine could pay off a lot more or a lot less than the advertised amount.
You should play one coin at a time to get more chances at hitting the jackpot.
The chances of hitting a jackpot are small. In most cases, playing the maximum number of coins increases the payout rate percentage, which is actually your better bet to walking away as a winner.
