casino slots
Michael asked:


Is it true, that the more people are at the casino playing slots the lower your chances of winning at the slots will be? I knoticed when the casino is slow and not bussy on weekday mornings that I seem to win something in 3 to 15 spins on quarter slot machines at max bet. When the evening crowd comes in, the machines pays less and sometimes eats most of your money. On weekends there seems to be a 50/50 chance of loosing and winning on certain slot machines. The penny 4 reel machines are pretty good even when its bussy at the casino and they can have way better odds when its slow, but even these penny slots can eat your money. I’ve been playing at the Fort McDowel Casino in Arizona near Phoenix.

I don’t know about any of that but I do know that the machines up front pay off more regularly than any of the other machines in the casino because they want people to see other people winning money. It’s good for business.

Slot machines are supposed to be completely random so there should not be a “hot” or “cold” time to play.

Some people swear by going at off-days or off-hours but I’ve never noticed any particular patterns myself.

Payouts on slot machines are determined by a random number generator. The machine is constantly generating random numbers, probably thousands of times a second. When you hit the spin button, the random number generator stops, and that last random number that was generated is tied to a certain win/loss outcome of the machine. The spinning reels are really for display purposes only, the random number determines the outcome and the spinning symbols just match that outcome.

So your odds are going to be no better or worse at any particular time of day or day of the week. It is all the luck of at what split second you hit the button that causes the random number to be selected. Even if you hit the jackpot, on your next spin you still have the same odds of hitting the jackpot again. What happened in the past has no bearing on future results. The machines do not get hot or cold, it just seems that way because you are either lucky or unlucky.

Note: There is an exception in certain Indian casinos that have what are called pull-tab games. For example, in the next million spins, one spin wins the jackpot, 1000 spins win the next highest, etc. - sort of like being on a cycle, which I think was how things worked decades ago. But the vast majority of casinos use Nevada standards and have random number generators as described above.
