I use this info. I have a loss limit, and a win goal, as well as a time limit. When I hit any of the three, if luck has been really good, stay and re-evaluate those limits and goals, and otherwise depart. Always arrive with a full tank of gas.
wake up, they are making GAZILLIONS of MONNAYE of gamblers. the only way to win with these machines is to buy one of them and put them out for others to loose their money. but then i´m not happy making others unhappy. so the only real way to deal with the problem is to walk by. if you dont play, the machine wont either. and that is one thing we teach our children that money is a serious matter, like fire and blades nothing to play with. slot machines in germany (outside of explicit casinos) have a maxbet limit of 2€ (older games 5lines) up to 4€ (10lines and more) so the linewin pay is better than with a hundred winning lines, which would require a fullscreen win to payback what you pay for. mathematically 2 € maxbet at 5 winning lines, top symbol 5 of a kind pays 2000€. if you get all 5 winning lines, a fullscreen 2€ bet can pay €10.000. if you play 2€ maxbet - with a €10.000 budget, how long can you play from it? 5000 spins. in smaller numbers 5€ at 0.05€ bet is a hundred spins. lets say you repeat your set budget 5 times after you lost the first five bucks (so alltogether 25€) at 0.05€ a spin, then calculated you could go ten times gambling from the money of the biggest win possible, some more, some less. progressive jackpots excluded - that chance is so rare. it just doesnt add up - especially because i think the chance to get a win at a lower bet is greater. play less lines, shorter sessions, if you get the win, take it and leave. for a problem gambler, a win is no hope, its poison. the dosis makes the poison. (paracelsus) resist the temptation. walk by and go on with your live. can you teach to win @ slot machines? if you could, theyd take the machines off ´n away.
What do you mean by break even? As in deposit £50 and hope to withdraw that same £50? Or “I lost £750 this month if I win £800 from this £20 I’ll withdraw it?”
This video is true for random slots, but depending on where you are in the world not all slots are random. In the UK many slots are random and many are compensated. Compensated slots are affected by previous play. Previous losses increase your odds of a win, a previous win reduces your odds of a win. This gives operators more consistent cashbox takings. In this scenario it makes some sense to chase your losses, because the scenario is actually much closer to the conveyor belt than the tumbler of marbles.
This was very true in the 90s when I worked in an amusement arcade, some of the staff watched people pump money into slot machines then after the player left the staff literally fought each other to get on the machine because it almost inevitably gave them a profit if they persisted playing it enough.
@@colinglovebox9921 I think what he was making a point of was ...If you never play slots you'll always come out a winner by keeping your money which you would have otherwise lost...Thus you'll always win by never gambling to begin with..
@Tilly Co'jerry thats exactly what they wanted you to do..! Once you win big they ask you if you want a room to stay the night for free or hope you come back the next day so you can give all the money you just won back to them... I know they want thier money back thats why as soon as i got paid i walked right out the casino, took the money to my house, put the $10,000 in a safe place and went back with the extra (I won $10,374)... The funny thing is, I went back with the left over $374 and ended up winning $3672 on another machine..! That was a crazy night... All in all, I used the $10,000 on fixing my car, new phones for me and my brother, new clothes and shoes, payed bills, and a bunch of other things i needed and wanted... The main thing is that i didn't give it back to the casino...
If you play the slot machine long enough, you will lose exactly what the casino advantage is. And you will lose at that particular rate whether you hit the big jackpot or not. If you hit it early in your play, you will lose it all back with continued play. If you hit it later in your play, it won’t be enough to recover your losses. If the rake it 3%, you will lose $300.00 for every $10,000.00 invested. You can make 500 decisions an hour on a machine, so you will get to 10,000 decisions in 20 hours of play. 3 standard deviations is 150. So if you play $1 at a time you are well over 99% to be down $150 or worse. So you can see that this is not gambling. It’s a mathematical certainty that you will lose no matter how lucky you get in the short run.
Hi Folks - This is a very good video and I will encourage people to watch it. Like everything, there are examples which do note quite fit the mold. A jackpot which must pay by a certain point (eg, $500) and it is close to reaching $500 -- well, as long as it is not going to cost you $500 -- if will always pay off. I personal always bet low -- and I do get enough enjoyment for the loss. Nice to find this site. I think Loto-Quebec did a fine job. Take care folks.
Thank you for comment. We appreciate your positive feedback. However, we just want to insist on the fact that chance, and only chance, ultimately determines when a machine will pay.
Good advice: limit yourself for the money that you’re about to lose; if you win .. good then stop playing for that day same as when you lost the gambling. Never withdraw from the ATM at the casino as they charge you with much higher fee. The bottom line is have fun, know your limit and always assume that you are gonna lose money.
Well explained, it helps a lot. I'm a small time gambler. I play e-bingo. Fact of the matter is I won once and losses thrice. Still playing for fun and thrill.😉
This only refers to "reel" machines. Video poker is quite different. At least you have some choice in the outcome. Both are to favor the house. but video poker machines vary the house edge.
Hello Charles, There is no connection between the amount of a bet and the odds of winning, but there is one between the amount bet and the amount of the prize. Higher bets give access to higher prizes. Some games require a minimum bet to grant access to a bonus round, a progressive jackpot or a special prize. When this is the case, it is explained in the rules. It is also important to understand that prizes are not programed to be won at specific times. The outcome of each game is random.
@@lotoquebec This is a lie , the higher you bet the faster you loose because the machine is programmed to sense that you are willing to spend all your money until you go broke
So your saying I have the same probability putting a dollar in as I do putting 20 dollars in?? The odds are in your favor as the amount of money you have is a deciding factor you lose a dollar quicker then 20 therefore you have a better chance of winning with 20 dollars
But what you failed to mention in your "large cylinder full of marbles" analogy is that it only applies to maximum jackpot wins. There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of lesser prizes & jackpots available on any given slot machine, so you would also need to add several hundred (or thousand) "other colored" marbles into the mix which would greatly improve your chances of a win. This would make your analogy more accurate. You're trying to give the impression that the odds of winning *_anything_* on a slot machine are astronomical...and that just simply isn't the case. Contrary to your opinion, the majority of players are not realistically expecting to win the jackpot, they're just hoping to go home with a decent payout. For example, if you're playing a slot machine that has a jackpot total of $100,000 but you only end up winning $750 on a single spin (which is far more likely to happen), I'd consider that a great day at the casino. UPDATE: Just got back from Empire City Casino in Yonkers, NY where I won a $5, 300 progressive *jackpot* on the Monopoly™ slots. Gotta love those shifty red marbles. 😁
We are sorry and surprised that you concluded from our video that the odds of winning are astronomical. The language used was more nuanced: “most games produce losing outcomes,” “the vast majority of results are negative,” “jackpots are few in number,” “the odds of winning are minimal,” “it is far more likely that one will end up losing more than winning.” That being said, the text is far from stating that the odds of winning are astronomical.
I am sorry and surprised that you concluded from my post that all I concluded from your video was that the odds of winning are astronomical. The language I used was more nuanced: "your *'large cylinder full of marbles' analogy* should only apply to maximum jackpot wins," "your *'large cylinder full of marbles' analogy* is faulty & misleading," "burying a lone red marble amidst a million white marbles, like a needle in a haystack, most definitely gives off the impression that the odds of winning are astronomical, as there are no other marbles of various colors to represent the multitude of lesser prizes & jackpots that can also be had," "most players do not realistically expect to win a jackpot," "you don't need to hit the jackpot to go home a winner." That being said, the rest of your presentation was very helpful & informative, if not glaringly obvious lol. I was merely pointing out the flaws in that particular segment of the video. Carry on. 😉
+Phil Thomas LoL@"son." I'm probably older than you are, junior. It appears as though your clairvoyant abilities (not to mention reading comprehension skills) are severely lacking. I wasn't trying to push anything on anyone, you presumptuous snoot. A segment of their presentation is genuinely questionable and all I did was call them out on it. My sentiments were aimed squarely at the uploader. They weren't directed at you or anyone else, nor was I insidiously attempting to sell anything to you or anyone else. So I apologize if I offended your delicate sensibilities, sweetheart. Perhaps these mean & nasty forums just aren't for you. Incidentally, didn't mommy ever tell you that it's not nice to accuse someone of malicious intent without concrete proof of such? Real bad etiquette on your part. Use your head...that is, unless, you were _purposely_ trying to come across as a belligerent asshole...in which case allow me to lovingly respond in kind with a resounding *"up yours!"* 🖕😎🖕
Most I ever won on any slot machine was $1000.00 on my 2nd spin on a quarter slot! But never won more than couple hundred since. Two cardinal rules you NEVER break are 1) NEVER play winnings. And 2) NEVER EVER exceed a set limit!! The tip to leave the slots area and get something to drink or whatever is a good one and works.
Dear Aj: Thank you for your comment. The goal of this video was to provide players with a greater understanding of the notion of probability. The following offers an short explanation of how lottery video terminals, per se, work: In slot machines and VLTs, random results are produced by a specialized computer chip called a random number generator (RNG). The RNG’s job is to cycle continuously through millions of numbers at several thousand numbers a second. When a player pushes the “spin” or “deal” button, the number that was available on the RNG at that split second is selected. Pushing the button a thousandth of a second earlier or later would result in a completely different outcome. The RNG runs continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when no one is playing. As you can see, random number generators make it impossible for a player (or the house, for that matter) to know what result will happen next. Some players mistakenly believe that if a machine has not paid out for a while, it is more likely to pay out or becomes “due” to pay. In reality, every spin has an equal chance of winning, no matter has happened previously. For more information on VLTs, you may consult the following two sites: casinogambling.about.com/cs/slots/a/SlotRng.htm entertainment.howstuffworks.com/slot-machine3.htm Thanks for your interest in our gaming operations!
how are slots random if they say they give 98% or 96.3% back? The are not! They are made in such way to make you want to play more. They give 2 bonus symblos and just barely missing the thirnd and a few spins later, the same happens. So you say "its about to give the bonus" and you keep playing.. But other than that, i agree with this strategy.
That's logical and makes sense about stretching your money by making smaller bets between wins etc...because we all SHOULD know they have A LOT more losing combinations than winning ones..lol
Many casinos or machines guarantee payouts of 97%, 98% , etc. If that's the case, how can the outcomes be absolutely random? There must be some intervention to control payouts and i believe that is what most people are chasing....
Hello, There is a critical difference between prize structures (return rates) as set by the rules that regulate Loto-Québec and the outcome of individual spins that abide by the laws of chance. The average rate of return of our lottery video machines is 92% (despite the fact that it is only legally required to be 83% according to our governing body the Régie des alcools des courses et des jeux (RACJ). This rate of return is programmed into each lottery video terminal and is calculated over millions of spins, taking into account three factors: the random nature of chance, the multiple different games available and the variety of prizes and possible combinations. Rates of return are verified by the RACJ on a yearly basis. Best regards,
Interesting. Thanks for the explanation Loto-Quebec. Question though: Wouldn't a pre programmed (and legally required minimum rate of return often as high in the 90's %) by very nature, conflict with true randomness / laws of chance though?
No, as these two “variables” are independent of one another. What is determined exclusively by chance is the position on which the reel stops on every spin. So, no matter how many stops and no matter the value given to each and every one of them (upon which the return rate is determined), only chance determines where the reel stops and, by the same fact, if you win or you lose.
C. Kevni I get your question, and the answer is that a lot of math goes in to designing the reels to achieve the specific payout. For example, if you flip a coin, the outcome is random, like in the slot machine. If you keep flipping it, say 10 billion times, you'll know for a fact that 50 percent will land on heads, though each flip is random. Imagine a slot machine where most of the symbols are the same and pay high. On average, you'd win more from that than a slot machine with a bunch of randomly distributed symbols. This is how the rtp of a slot machine works.
C. Kevni - the payout signs are very deceiving. If you look closer it says up to 98% payout and that high payout can be only 1 machine out of the whole casino.
To be honest I don't care about the jackpot because it is hard to get. I put $20 in a machine and the second it reaches $40 I take it out. If I come out of the casino with just $5 over I am happy as that is $5 I didn't have in the first place. I don't eat or drink at the casino so for me its pure profit.
It's not quite as bad as what is explained in this video, you don't have to get the 'jackpot' to win, or be in profit. But at the end of the day, slot machines are negative expectation games. You do not expect to profit long-term. It is mathematically impossible to do so (over a sufficient portion size). So, people who play slot machines should do so recreationally for the fun of it. From the perspective of actually making profit, not all gambling is automatically losing, for instance you can bet on horses or sports or poker profitably, and many kinds of investing are a form of gambling, the lines between the two pursuits become blurred depending on how one goes about it. But slot machines will always be negative expectation games which means you cannot win over large enough portion sizes, just like lotteries.
Jackpots come in all shapes and sizes I win Jackpots all the time from 200 to 4000, have I ever won the big or top jackpot no I haven't . Am I happy with a couple grand yes I am
Some machines have progressive jackpots that MUST hit by the time it reaches a pre determined amount. Its not always as simple as you describe. Some machines have progressives that if you wait until they get high enough you actually get advantage over the casino up to 10-12%
The type of game you mentioned works with an algorithm ensuring that the closer the progressive jackpot gets to the value at which it must be awarded, the greater your chances are of winning. However, the game rules state that the jackpot must be higher than the value displayed. This means that the person who bets when the value is reached doesn’t necessarily win the progressive jackpot. The jackpot is always awarded at random. The algorithm determining the winner is based on odds that are spread among several parties.
You will never find a machine that will payout more than 100% of it’s lifetime. It doesn’t matter what kind of game it is even with a progressive jackpot. Plus the video mentions about “how do you know?” and the only way you can find out is to keep playing. It’s the loop cycle
What you guys forget to talk about is the Pseudo random number generator, there is a RTP and at a certain point, slot machine has to pay. You can see that happen sometimes when mutliple machine start to pay a lot in same time, or a slot machine that is on fire and keep giving big win. You can't say its not happening because IT IS happening.
Hello, The situation you’re describing is still a product of chance: with slot machines, it’s possible to win several times in a row and then not win anything at all for a long time. Chance remains entirely unpredictable and uncontrollable. Here are two other videos on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/nKAes19RYWU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/uhwmuSVI_6A/v-deo.html Having said that, and for your information, the average return to player of video lottery terminals has been 92% since legal video lottery terminals were installed in 1994. The standard that the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) has set is 83%. The return to player is programmed for each terminal and obtained after millions of spins, taking into account the randomness of the results, the gameplay, the variety of prizes and the possible combinations. In fact, the RACJ verifies the return to player every year. Have a nice day!
Casinos will do whatever they can to get your money. They try to swindle the public. But if you as a player win, they make you feel as if you are a thief. People have been taken to a back room and tortured for counting cards at blackjack. Meanwhile, the casino reduces the blackjack premium from 3-2 to 6-5. Since the rest of the game is the same, the public doesn’t think that’s much to give up and continue to play. This rule change steals money from an unsuspecting public and is no different from actually pulling a gun to a bank teller and demanding cash. The casinos have successfully passed a law prohibiting computer aid in helping players play their games. Computers in no way artificially change the outcome of any game. Computers just help the players make the best mathematical decisions. The casinos will shuffle the cards at blackjack when small cards have been played and deal them down when big cards have been played. This has the same effect as playing with a deck short of high cards in the long run. Playing blackjack with only 2 Aces in the deck is cheating on part of the casino. Phil Ivey won millions from the casino at baccarat by making use of imperfections in the cards called edge shorting. The casino agreed to the dealers and cards to be used. Yet the courts found in favor of the casino and were absolved of their debt to Ivy. This is a case of money protecting money. It’s not a decision based on ethics. I don’t feel sorry for the casino when they lose. The public should be allowed to use their intellect to win at the casino and not be accused of cheating when they win.
Casinos are like a bank you put money in to it but it is not guaranteed you can ever draw it out,actually on the long run you will never ever can withdraw even 1%of your cash input.,just away spend your hard money on good food and drinks.
Human beings have tinkered with the machines to control the payout, so when you play them all you're doing is allowing the human beings, who've set the odds against you, to simply rob you of your money. They don't call them one arm "BANDITS" for nothing. The only only thing everybody needs to know is STAY AWAY FROM THE ONE ARM BANDITS! But if you like going out and getting cheated, swindled, scammed, or robbed of your money then keep on getting cheated, swindled, scammed and robbed.
Each slot has a winning cycle at some point but the player has no clue as to when that winning cycle will begin but when it does you instantly notice it and the player needs to recognize the decline of that wining cycle then cash out get receipt and put some more $$ in that machine to see if it will start winning cycle again and if not go to another machine but leave when you have gambled your limit and not your profit or house $$$ !!!! Oh so simple in theory but sticking to it isn't so simple !!!! And as always GOOD LUCK as usual !!!
The public has the advantage over the house. The public has the money. They can decide what games they want to play and how much they want to bet. The casino will pay blackjack even money if they thought that they could get people to play. The public should not play blackjack unless it pays 3-2. The public should not play a continuously shuffled game either. The public should never play a slot machine. The public should not play a double zero roulette game. The casino will offer a triple zero roulette game if they could get away with it. I educate players when I’m in a casino. This is how I cut into the casino profits. I simply make them aware of the math.

I like the games that guarantee millions. Never liked scratch offs or slot machines. Spending 20$ a week keeps me satisfied. Is it a lot? Sure to some that rarely or don't gamble but I spend far less money than most. Watching people ahead of me buying 10$,20$,etc... scratchoffs makes me shake my head. If I'm going to get the endorphins going it will be fantasizing about money that will secure me for a lifetime. I've done the slot machine thing and I never win and am stuck for hours waiting for others to decide it's time to go. Boring and the flashing lights give me a headache. Won $500 on the mega millions and that made my day. I pay for the "what if" drawn out anticipation not the instantaneous.
Your perception is only good if symbols do not have fixed positions, obviously, mechanical reels have fixed positions but attempt to randomize the number of symbols that pass the payline on each spin, which they do fairly successfully; but video slots is where your logic falls apart. If a single reel on video slot contain 11 possible symbols and the outcomes are random, then why would they need thousands of stops? They would only need 11, cuz there are only 11 possible outcomes in a single location on a single reel. You would only need thousands of stops on a reel with 11 possible symbol outcomes per single result space if the symbols have fixed, non-random, unmovable positions on the reels- which would then allow a specific number of symbols to pass with each spin according to machine specific rules, thus allowing the average payout percentage to be preset. One might space the highest paying symbols at intervals of prime numbers of symbol spaces apart on an individual reel, make each reel unique in its symbol layout and then make the spin rules with other prime numbers not used to space high paying symbols, for the number of symbol spaces to pass by the payline on each spin, thus being able to completely predetermine each outcome while making it ‘appear’ to be random, telling everyone its random, and then hoping no one figures it out. Or at least if they do, they do not tell regulators whom seem to be as clueless as the so called gambling experts who just promote the same bullshit that they believe to be the truth. You are all hopelessly ignorant.
but you are allowing the computer to decide for u, you are not picking marbles out,you better odds than the marble theory, because the machine puts out wins frequently to get you hooked
This ignores common random numbers and random number seeds. Believe it or not the conveyor belt is more correct. That being said there is no guaranteed jackpot. A machine may not have a jackpot in it at all. The best advice is to never play slots in the first place. The odds are the worst in the casino. Why do you think the machines are everywhere?
I like gaming too. I do not think the average person really put these details in their head about the large drum. For me, my bets are always small. Almost everything in life can become a habit, so we just need to spend our entertainment dollars wisely.
I was wondering when they say play for fun! How come you play with real money for fun and you are human being and too much greedy..And you have the fucking fleeing of winning in your head and keep chasing your lose until you lose everything and get mad angry which is a good person changed to the bad person in everything of your entire life. I wish if gambling ban forever in this world. Because I can see that people who can suffer from addiction of gambling till they commit suicide.
What about online casinos then? Pretty confinced that some of these games are rigged. Especially when it comes to online roulette, I've seen many scams on UA-cam also.
Shit $20 dollars is nothing to play on slots !!! I'll put $100 dollar bill in and play down to $50 and if no winning cycle cash out and play another machine and my set limit is $200 dollars total each visit and no more go home !!!
Sad thing is some people really think there is a strategy to winning on slots...all kinds of untrue myths they believe in...the RNG is real folks...lol
I believe there can be a slight strategy. If you know the general payout percentage and the general frequency of minor payouts, you can hedge your bets to wait-out the machine until you reach payout probability. Simply stated : make the minimum bet the majority of the time, and intermittently raise the bet after a streak of no-wins. The point is to stretch your bank and minimize your losses between wins. I did this once successfully on a quarter machine, and have done it consistently on home computer slot games - assuming computer games are programmed the same as casino slots. It takes a long time, but if you do it right you can come out ahead, and at least stretch your play time. It feels like you are actually "playing" the game, rather than mindlessly feeding it coins until they are gone.
One thing you are leaving out, casino sponsored smart guy,, how does a machine always know when your low on money,, and give you a win to keep you there,, these machine have artificial intelligence,, and when using your players card, that slot will determine what kind of ride they will take you on, and it’s also a fact that machines can be turned up remotely,, So let’s stop with this fairness crap
Futt Bucker I do not care what you say, those machine have artificial intelligence, they utilize the players card info, and set up a program for that player,,, you and your casino industry geniuses will not change my mind, casinos cheat, and they get away with it, casinos are owned by Ashkenazi Jews, so they’ll steal every red cent they can
@@johnbailey2024 they do not cheat lololololol. They are set to have a house advantage, which is clearly known and posted for all to see. If they didn't, the casinos wouldn't make money and stay open. Everyone knows before they even enter, they are set to loose money. I never said I was a casino or slot genius. Simply, how they are programmed and function. That's not to say you can't walk out ahead, just know the risk you are taking by gambling. Does a grocery store buy a product for 1$ and sell it for .90$? Of course not. That's not how capitalism works. Now are you being cheated for buying that 1$ item for 1.10$? If you think so, then produce the item yourself for cheaper or free. Chances are you'll be heading back to the store shortly to get "cheated". Casinos are in the business to make money just like any other business in America. Any business model set on taking a profit loss don't last very long, OBVIOUSLY.
You're given misinformation... the spins on slot machine only seems to be random... because you will never get the big payouts... playing a slot machine is like playing against a stacked deck... you cannot beat a stacked deck!
And you know this because...? You are saying casinos and slot manufacturers are lying cheats. The gaming industry is heavily regulated, and machines have to pass rigorous tests and standards. Basically you are promoting a general conspiracy theory, that is easily debunked by the numbers - of all the thousands of people working for casinos and game manufacturers, not one has emerged to report the "truth". Oh right, they keep quiet because they are afraid of getting "wacked". Sorry, it's much simpler that the machines are fair, but just difficult to beat.
This is lame . Those odds are not accurate . People win more than that . It's random but random is verrryyy relative. So dumb right now . The only thing I agree with is not to spend money you don't have .
I get what this video is trying to say but I've won the biggest jackpot on 3 different machines before and the second biggest jackpot on, give or take 10 different machines... Of this video was %100 true, i have picked the red ball out of 2,000,000 balls 3 times in my life?!? I would consider myself a little lucky but not that lucky, COME ON!!! One time i won $10,000.00+ betting $0.50!!!
Yeah yeah re RNG why than do you not win win win...as it is just as likely to hit the win win win number as the loss numbers..why after a jackpot does it almost always just suck money and not payout....why do people not hit jackpot after jackpot on a machine...I have played 10s of thousands of hours and there may not be exact patterns...but there is definitely a rythm......If it's so random...it could over the course of any given day or week or month pay out way more than it takes in.....not over the course of a lifetime of a machine maybe but over weeks and months and that never occurs.I am not a winning player but there are no doubt rythms!
oh my god.... I have statistical charts - numbers do not lie - slots are not random at all, but to the gambler it looks random... Instead, put five dices in that bag, and the outcome of the sides of each dice WILL be 100% random for every throw of the dices.... however, one or more numbers on the sides (on the reel strip) will and do change between the spins (during the IDLE time). It will still be a hundred percent random throw.... Why ALL THESE LIES about slots?????
Hello, Perhaps this other short video will convince you of the opposite of what you wrote: ua-cam.com/video/RkfaL6Th-oY/v-deo.html. That being said, please note that the average return rate of our video lottery terminals is 92%. The standard set by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) is 83%. This return rate is programmed for each machine and obtained based on millions of games played, taking into account the randomness of results, the multitude of games, the variety of prizes and the possible combinations. Also, this return rate is checked by the RACJ annually. In short, game outcomes are completely up to chance.
Whilst what is said is true to a point it doesnt take into account large betting and the laws that control probability of how often a jackpot will go off, if a jackpot goes off once in every million and it hasn't gone off in 2 million pushes, the odds are IT IS DUE. Nothing beats the laws of probability. This is true misinformation.
1st you don't know if the machine hit the jackpot or how long ago.(which that don't matter anyway). Your idea is common "gamblers fallacy". Every spin resets the probability back to 1 and a million. Probability is based on the likeliness of 1 single event occuring. In your mind, you're thinking that because the jackpot hasn't hit in 2 million spins, it has to come soon. This is the exact reason gamblers loose all their money. If a random outcome happens more often than expected (loosing spins), then a (jackpot) is more likely to occur in the future. That is a fallacy and an incorrect assumption. That's not how randomness works. Your probability remains 1 and 1 million every spin regardless what past events occured. Probability works with things that are mechanical, not random generated. There is not a predetermined number of jackpots in a machine. Only to pay out 90% is guaranteed. That could be in the form of 5$ payouts. Hell the machine may never even ever hit a jackpot. As long as it pays out the legal % by the end of its life. So probability is irrelevant and can't be calculated to begin with. That's why the machine says "probability is no less than 1 and 1 million". But I digress. That's not to say you can't get lucky and hit a jackpot on your first spin, but that has nothing to do with probability and all about chance. Also, take into account the house edge. You are set to loose. This is not like having a bag of marbles with 3 colors and the probability of picking a certain color is X. You are at a disadvantage the entire time. Suppose you play 1 million spins and hit the 1 jackpot. It would cost you 1 million and 1 thousand dollars to do it, putting you at a loss. Or say you hit the jackpot first spin, then take that million and put it into the machine. By the end of the million, you are GUARANTEED to walk home with 0. Unless you walk away right there. (That would be luck or chance not probability). Your comment even debunks your theory within itself. If you have 1 and a million chance to hit a jackpot and it hasn't hit in 2 million spins. Then your probability factor isnt very credible. Long bets or long play probability don't work when your payout is only guaranteed to be 90%. The slot will just chip away at you until it's all gone, unless you walk after hitting lucky. With that, Are you willing to be the one who tests it? You are the exact person the casino loves to have come play. Moral of the story is, when it comes to slots, the more your play the more you will eventually loose. You explained a gambling addiction to the T
@@futt-bucker I disagree, when it hasn't gone off, the probability is considerably higher that it will sooner than later. I see it happen every day. If a machine jackpot hasn't gone off on a machine that goes off every month, you can almost guess it to the day when it will go off. Oh and yes I do do well chasing jackpots.
@@brad9529 That would be if there is a predetermined amount of jackpots in a machine. There isn't. My dad wrote the software for slot machine all over the USA for over 10 years. And I know your full of shit anyways because unless you work there, there is no way for you to know when a machine hasn't hit for X amount of time. Machines are guaranteed to pay 90% or whatever it is. They however are not guaranteed to throw a set number of jackpots, or any jackpots for that matter.
@@futt-bucker mate think what you like, just because your dad made something doesn't make you an expert. Tell that to thousands of professional gamblers who make huge salaries. Some have bad periods and lose but most make good money.
@@brad9529 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL whatever you say my man! 👌👌👌 Professional gamblers play table games, not slots. And I never said I was an expert, just know the facts and know how the machines are programmed.I am not against gambling. I have gone and lost all my gambling money as well as won. In fact all my times playing, I'm up about 3 grand. All I'm saying is slots are made to come out ahead and that's a known fact. With that said, at the end of the day, night, week, month, year, decade, you are theoretically set to walk with 90% of what you started with. I am not saying you cant come out ahead. Of course you can be ahead of that as well as below. That would be the luck of the draw and not probability. All I'm saying. If you have the luck to stay ahead then great for you. And keep taking money from them. I am on your side in that instance. Just understand the risk and know when to walk away. Good luck at the casino, and that is sincere, not a jab. I am all for the people beating the casino. I just know not everybody does and if they did, nobody would work and would just make a paycheck at the casino.
This video is propaganda created by the casinos. Modern slot machines are made my psychologists and software engineers. They are NOT random! They using Pavlovian reward to keep players playing.
They aren't lying about that. I think the analogy is a bit messed up cause it sounds like there's only one win and every other spin is a loss. Take into account that you can win smaller amounts as well, it doesn't have to be the biggest win in the machine. On average, machines return around the range they specified, which means they still make a profit.
if you have $100, and you spin 50 times...during that time you will win small amounts and some big amounts, but it will always be 945 of your money you put in, once the machine has reached the payback of 94% of that hundred it is destined to make you lose
It seems comforting to believe the conspiracy, but what is your evidence they are "rigged"? Anyone that has won money from a slot machine will disagree.
What a bunch of BS. Random number generator chips can be adjusted to pay at different percentages via changing the payout table chip.. if they want to loosen the payout, hey have the means to do so.
This doesn’t seem right number 1 how can they state 95% pay out with such a random generator and how does the house secure that you won’t pick a red ball everytime there must be some protection for them
Hi! The example illustrates the probability of winning, not the payout percentage. With the bag of 20 marbles, each time you choose a marble, your chance of choosing the red one is 1 in 20, because you always put back the white marble. Sometimes the red marble could be chosen on the first attempt and sometimes it could take 50 attempts. After millions of games played, statistically, the red marble should be chosen 5% of the time. Now, let’s say that each time you choose a marble, it costs you $1. If you choose a white marble, you lose your $1, but if you choose a red marble you win $18.40. Statistically, after millions of games played, for every $20 wagered, the payout will be $18,40. So even if the probability of winning is 5%, the payout will be 92%. Here is an other video that explains all this: ua-cam.com/video/RkfaL6Th-oY/v-deo.html
I use this info. I have a loss limit, and a win goal, as well as a time limit. When I hit any of the three, if luck has been really good, stay and re-evaluate those limits and goals, and otherwise depart. Always arrive with a full tank of gas.
Except one thing. Problem gamblers don't hope to win a huge jackpot, they just hope to break even.
Tilt mode getting your money back ffs
wake up, they are making GAZILLIONS of MONNAYE of gamblers. the only way to win with these machines is to buy one of them and put them out for others to loose their money.
but then i´m not happy making others unhappy.
so the only real way to deal with the problem is to walk by. if you dont play, the machine wont either.
and that is one thing we teach our children that money is a serious matter, like fire and blades nothing to play with.
slot machines in germany (outside of explicit casinos) have a maxbet limit of 2€ (older games 5lines) up to 4€ (10lines and more)
so the linewin pay is better than with a hundred winning lines, which would require a fullscreen win to payback what you pay for.
mathematically 2 € maxbet at 5 winning lines, top symbol 5 of a kind pays 2000€. if you get all 5 winning lines, a fullscreen 2€ bet can pay €10.000.
if you play 2€ maxbet - with a €10.000 budget, how long can you play from it? 5000 spins.
in smaller numbers
5€ at 0.05€ bet is a hundred spins. lets say you repeat your set budget 5 times after you lost the first five bucks (so alltogether 25€) at 0.05€ a spin, then
calculated
you could go ten times gambling from the money of the biggest win possible, some more, some less. progressive jackpots excluded - that chance is so rare.
it just doesnt add up - especially because i think the chance to get a win at a lower bet is greater.
play less lines, shorter sessions, if you get the win, take it and leave.
for a problem gambler, a win is no hope, its poison. the dosis makes the poison. (paracelsus) resist the temptation.
walk by and go on with your live.
can you teach to win @ slot machines?
if you could, theyd take the machines off ´n away.
They hope to break even.. then once they do, an urge to play one game appears since they just broke even.. and the cycle continues
I only want to win the jackpot, break even is losing.
What do you mean by break even? As in deposit £50 and hope to withdraw that same £50?
Or “I lost £750 this month if I win £800 from this £20 I’ll withdraw it?”
Love this video! Reminds me of those Walt Disney -style PSA’s from the 1950’s!
This video is true for random slots, but depending on where you are in the world not all slots are random. In the UK many slots are random and many are compensated. Compensated slots are affected by previous play. Previous losses increase your odds of a win, a previous win reduces your odds of a win. This gives operators more consistent cashbox takings. In this scenario it makes some sense to chase your losses, because the scenario is actually much closer to the conveyor belt than the tumbler of marbles.
This was very true in the 90s when I worked in an amusement arcade, some of the staff watched people pump money into slot machines then after the player left the staff literally fought each other to get on the machine because it almost inevitably gave them a profit if they persisted playing it enough.
Do you know what?
Dont play in any of slot machines you will always win.....

@Tilly Co'jerry thats exactly what they wanted you to do..! Once you win big they ask you if you want a room to stay the night for free or hope you come back the next day so you can give all the money you just won back to them... I know they want thier money back thats why as soon as i got paid i walked right out the casino, took the money to my house, put the $10,000 in a safe place and went back with the extra (I won $10,374)... The funny thing is, I went back with the left over $374 and ended up winning $3672 on another machine..! That was a crazy night... All in all, I used the $10,000 on fixing my car, new phones for me and my brother, new clothes and shoes, payed bills, and a bunch of other things i needed and wanted... The main thing is that i didn't give it back to the casino...
There goes my retirement-plan...
not right dont do it...........
Excellent video, very well done.
If you play the slot machine long enough, you will lose exactly what the casino advantage is. And you will lose at that particular rate whether you hit the big jackpot or not. If you hit it early in your play, you will lose it all back with continued play. If you hit it later in your play, it won’t be enough to recover your losses. If the rake it 3%, you will lose $300.00 for every $10,000.00 invested. You can make 500 decisions an hour on a machine, so you will get to 10,000 decisions in 20 hours of play. 3 standard deviations is 150. So if you play $1 at a time you are well over 99% to be down $150 or worse. So you can see that this is not gambling. It’s a mathematical certainty that you will lose no matter how lucky you get in the short run.
Hi Folks - This is a very good video and I will encourage people to watch it. Like everything, there are examples which do note quite fit the mold. A jackpot which must pay by a certain point (eg, $500) and it is close to reaching $500 -- well, as long as it is not going to cost you $500 -- if will always pay off. I personal always bet low -- and I do get enough enjoyment for the loss. Nice to find this site. I think Loto-Quebec did a fine job. Take care folks.
Thank you for comment. We appreciate your positive feedback.
However, we just want to insist on the fact that chance, and only chance, ultimately determines when a machine will pay.

@@lotoquebec Hahahaha YEAH RIGHT!!!!
Good advice: limit yourself for the money that you’re about to lose; if you win .. good then stop playing for that day same as when you lost the gambling. Never withdraw from the ATM at the casino as they charge you with much higher fee. The bottom line is have fun, know your limit and always assume that you are gonna lose money.
Well explained, it helps a lot. I'm a small time gambler. I play e-bingo. Fact of the matter is I won once and losses thrice. Still playing for fun and thrill.😉
I only take what i can afford to lose
This only refers to "reel" machines. Video poker is quite different. At least you have some choice in the outcome. Both are to favor the house. but video poker machines vary the house edge.
Slot machines are controlled along with a computer to pay out a percentage, they are manipulated
Does probability increase then putting 5 bucks in each machine or does the probability stay the same?
Hello Charles,
There is no connection between the amount of a bet and the odds of winning, but there is one between the amount bet and the amount of the prize. Higher bets give access to higher prizes.
Some games require a minimum bet to grant access to a bonus round, a progressive jackpot or a special prize. When this is the case, it is explained in the rules.
It is also important to understand that prizes are not programed to be won at specific times. The outcome of each game is random.
@@lotoquebec This is a lie , the higher you bet the faster you loose because the machine is programmed to sense that you are willing to spend all your money until you go broke
So your saying I have the same probability putting a dollar in as I do putting 20 dollars in??
The odds are in your favor as the amount of money you have is a deciding factor you lose a dollar quicker then 20 therefore you have a better chance of winning with 20 dollars
But what you failed to mention in your "large cylinder full of marbles" analogy is that it only applies to maximum jackpot wins. There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of lesser prizes & jackpots available on any given slot machine, so you would also need to add several hundred (or thousand) "other colored" marbles into the mix which would greatly improve your chances of a win. This would make your analogy more accurate. You're trying to give the impression that the odds of winning *_anything_* on a slot machine are astronomical...and that just simply isn't the case. Contrary to your opinion, the majority of players are not realistically expecting to win the jackpot, they're just hoping to go home with a decent payout. For example, if you're playing a slot machine that has a jackpot total of $100,000 but you only end up winning $750 on a single spin (which is far more likely to happen), I'd consider that a great day at the casino.
UPDATE: Just got back from Empire City Casino in Yonkers, NY where I won a $5, 300 progressive *jackpot* on the Monopoly™ slots. Gotta love those shifty red marbles. 😁
We are sorry and surprised that you concluded from our video that the odds of winning are astronomical. The language used was more nuanced: “most games produce losing outcomes,” “the vast majority of results are negative,” “jackpots are
few in number,” “the odds of winning are minimal,” “it is far more likely that one will end up losing more than winning.”
That being said, the text is far from stating that the odds of winning are astronomical.
I am sorry and surprised that you concluded from my post that all I concluded from your video was that the odds of winning are astronomical. The language I used was more nuanced: "your *'large cylinder full of marbles' analogy* should only apply to maximum jackpot wins," "your *'large cylinder full of marbles' analogy* is faulty & misleading," "burying a lone red marble amidst a million white marbles, like a needle in a haystack, most definitely gives off the impression that the odds of winning are astronomical, as there are no other marbles of various colors to represent the multitude of lesser prizes & jackpots that can also be had," "most players do not realistically expect to win a jackpot," "you don't need to hit the jackpot to go home a winner."

Most I ever won on any slot machine was $1000.00 on my 2nd spin on a quarter slot! But never won more than couple hundred since. Two cardinal rules you NEVER break are
1) NEVER play winnings. And
2) NEVER EVER exceed a set limit!! The tip to leave the slots area and get something to drink or whatever is a good one and works.
You forget the most important dont came back when you win
This is a great video. It does a great job explaining probability but not how slot machines actually work using a random number generator.
Dear Aj:
Thank you for your comment. The goal of this video was to provide players with a greater understanding of the notion of probability. The following offers an short explanation of how lottery video terminals, per se, work:
In slot machines and VLTs, random results are produced by a specialized computer chip called a random number generator (RNG). The RNG’s job is to cycle continuously through millions of numbers at several thousand numbers a second. When a player pushes the “spin” or “deal” button, the number that was available on the RNG at that split second is selected. Pushing the button a thousandth of a second earlier or later would result in a completely different outcome. The RNG runs continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when no one is playing.
As you can see, random number generators make it impossible for a player (or the house, for that matter) to know what result will happen next. Some players mistakenly believe that if a machine has not paid out for a while, it is more likely to pay out or becomes “due” to pay. In reality, every spin has an equal chance of winning, no matter has happened previously.
For more information on VLTs, you may consult the following two sites:

Thanks for your interest in our gaming operations!
how are slots random if they say they give 98% or 96.3% back? The are not! They are made in such way to make you want to play more. They give 2 bonus symblos and just barely missing the thirnd and a few spins later, the same happens. So you say "its about to give the bonus" and you keep playing.. But other than that, i agree with this strategy.
what i find is the slots with bells and whistles make ton of noise to distract player but the only win you get is the sound
That's logical and makes sense about stretching your money by making smaller bets between wins etc...because we all SHOULD know they have A LOT more losing combinations than winning ones..lol
Many casinos or machines guarantee payouts of 97%, 98% , etc. If that's the case, how can the outcomes be absolutely random? There must be some intervention to control payouts and i believe that is what most people are chasing....
Hello,
There is a critical difference between prize structures (return rates) as set by the rules that regulate Loto-Québec and the outcome of individual spins that abide by the laws of chance.
The average rate of return of our lottery video machines is 92% (despite the fact that it is only legally required to be 83% according to our governing body the Régie des alcools des courses et des jeux (RACJ). This rate of return is programmed into each lottery video terminal and is calculated over millions of
spins, taking into account three factors: the random nature of chance, the multiple different games available and the variety of prizes and possible combinations. Rates of return are verified by the RACJ on a yearly basis.
Best regards,
Interesting. Thanks for the explanation Loto-Quebec. Question though: Wouldn't a pre programmed (and legally required minimum rate of return often as high in the 90's %) by very nature, conflict with true randomness / laws of chance though?
No, as these two “variables” are independent of one another.
What is determined exclusively by chance is the position on which the reel stops on every spin. So, no matter how many stops and no matter the value given to each and every one of them (upon which the return rate is determined), only chance determines where the reel stops and, by the same fact, if you win or you lose.
C. Kevni I get your question, and the answer is that a lot of math goes in to designing the reels to achieve the specific payout.
For example, if you flip a coin, the outcome is random, like in the slot machine. If you keep flipping it, say 10 billion times, you'll know for a fact that 50 percent will land on heads, though each flip is random.
Imagine a slot machine where most of the symbols are the same and pay high. On average, you'd win more from that than a slot machine with a bunch of randomly distributed symbols. This is how the rtp of a slot machine works.
C. Kevni - the payout signs are very deceiving. If you look closer it says up to 98% payout and that high payout can be only 1 machine out of the whole casino.
To be honest I don't care about the jackpot because it is hard to get. I put $20 in a machine and the second it reaches $40 I take it out. If I come out of the casino with just $5 over I am happy as that is $5 I didn't have in the first place. I don't eat or drink at the casino so for me its pure profit.
You dont understand yet when you win you are lost and doomed
This would be even a good scenario....jack pot is never issued till it's collected from the players
It's not quite as bad as what is explained in this video, you don't have to get the 'jackpot' to win, or be in profit. But at the end of the day, slot machines are negative expectation games. You do not expect to profit long-term. It is mathematically impossible to do so (over a sufficient portion size). So, people who play slot machines should do so recreationally for the fun of it. From the perspective of actually making profit, not all gambling is automatically losing, for instance you can bet on horses or sports or poker profitably, and many kinds of investing are a form of gambling, the lines between the two pursuits become blurred depending on how one goes about it. But slot machines will always be negative expectation games which means you cannot win over large enough portion sizes, just like lotteries.
Jackpots come in all shapes and sizes I win Jackpots all the time from 200 to 4000, have I ever won the big or top jackpot no I haven't . Am I happy with a couple grand yes I am
Some machines have progressive jackpots that MUST hit by the time it reaches a pre determined amount. Its not always as simple as you describe. Some machines have progressives that if you wait until they get high enough you actually get advantage over the casino up to 10-12%
The type of game you mentioned works with an algorithm ensuring that the closer the progressive jackpot gets to the value at which it must be awarded, the greater your chances are of winning. However, the game rules state that the jackpot must be higher than the value displayed. This means that the person who bets when the value is reached doesn’t necessarily win the progressive jackpot. The jackpot is always awarded at random. The algorithm determining the winner is based on odds that are spread among several parties.
You will never find a machine that will payout more than 100% of it’s lifetime. It doesn’t matter what kind of game it is even with a progressive jackpot. Plus the video mentions about “how do you know?” and the only way you can find out is to keep playing. It’s the loop cycle
What you guys forget to talk about is the Pseudo random number generator, there is a RTP and at a certain point, slot machine has to pay. You can see that happen sometimes when mutliple machine start to pay a lot in same time, or a slot machine that is on fire and keep giving big win. You can't say its not happening because IT IS happening.
Hello,
The situation you’re describing is still a product of chance: with slot machines, it’s possible to win several times in a row and then not win anything at all for a long time. Chance remains entirely unpredictable and uncontrollable.
Here are two other videos on the topic:
ua-cam.com/video/nKAes19RYWU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/uhwmuSVI_6A/v-deo.html
Having said that, and for your information, the average return to player of video lottery terminals has been 92% since legal video lottery terminals were installed in 1994. The standard that the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) has set is 83%. The return to player is programmed for each terminal and obtained after millions of spins, taking into account the randomness of the results, the gameplay, the variety of prizes and the possible combinations.
In fact, the RACJ verifies the return to player every year.
Have a nice day!

Casinos will do whatever they can to get your money. They try to swindle the public. But if you as a player win, they make you feel as if you are a thief. People have been taken to a back room and tortured for counting cards at blackjack. Meanwhile, the casino reduces the blackjack premium from 3-2 to 6-5. Since the rest of the game is the same, the public doesn’t think that’s much to give up and continue to play. This rule change steals money from an unsuspecting public and is no different from actually pulling a gun to a bank teller and demanding cash. The casinos have successfully passed a law prohibiting computer aid in helping players play their games. Computers in no way artificially change the outcome of any game. Computers just help the players make the best mathematical decisions. The casinos will shuffle the cards at blackjack when small cards have been played and deal them down when big cards have been played. This has the same effect as playing with a deck short of high cards in the long run. Playing blackjack with only 2 Aces in the deck is cheating on part of the casino. Phil Ivey won millions from the casino at baccarat by making use of imperfections in the cards called edge shorting. The casino agreed to the dealers and cards to be used. Yet the courts found in favor of the casino and were absolved of their debt to Ivy. This is a case of money protecting money. It’s not a decision based on ethics. I don’t feel sorry for the casino when they lose. The public should be allowed to use their intellect to win at the casino and not be accused of cheating when they win.
Casinos are like a bank you put money in to it but it is not guaranteed you can ever draw it out,actually on the long run you will never ever can withdraw even 1%of your cash input.,just away spend your hard money on good food and drinks.
Thanks Johnny!
Human beings have tinkered with the machines to control the payout, so when you play them all you're doing is allowing the human beings, who've set the odds against you, to simply rob you of your money. They don't call them one arm "BANDITS" for nothing. The only only thing everybody needs to know is STAY AWAY FROM THE ONE ARM BANDITS! But if you like going out and getting cheated, swindled, scammed, or robbed of your money then keep on getting cheated, swindled, scammed and robbed.
Hey. Why are YOU here????
Each slot has a winning cycle at some point but the player has no clue as to when that winning cycle will begin but when it does you instantly notice it and the player needs to recognize the decline of that wining cycle then cash out get receipt and put some more $$ in that machine to see if it will start winning cycle again and if not go to another machine but leave when you have gambled your limit and not your profit or house $$$ !!!! Oh so simple in theory but sticking to it isn't so simple !!!! And as always GOOD LUCK as usual !!!
Video poker gang 💪
Slots is only ‘luck’ for people who don’t know about the fact that vibration, frequency or energy affects the outcome. Your vibe affects the outcome.
Vibrations or any other type of personal energy have no effect on the outcome: games' results are due to chance alone. Nothing else.
I have gotten up and left a machine, the person who sat down nest won 13,000 within 3 spins
Sucks
The public has the advantage over the house. The public has the money. They can decide what games they want to play and how much they want to bet. The casino will pay blackjack even money if they thought that they could get people to play. The public should not play blackjack unless it pays 3-2. The public should not play a continuously shuffled game either. The public should never play a slot machine. The public should not play a double zero roulette game. The casino will offer a triple zero roulette game if they could get away with it. I educate players when I’m in a casino. This is how I cut into the casino profits. I simply make them aware of the math.
my wife said I ll quit when I want lol
I love to play with SLOTS!!!😍😍😍
If Slots are random number generators machine and is a game of chance... how can the casino control it to give back 85% of money to players?

I like the games that guarantee millions. Never liked scratch offs or slot machines. Spending 20$ a week keeps me satisfied. Is it a lot? Sure to some that rarely or don't gamble but I spend far less money than most. Watching people ahead of me buying 10$,20$,etc... scratchoffs makes me shake my head. If I'm going to get the endorphins going it will be fantasizing about money that will secure me for a lifetime. I've done the slot machine thing and I never win and am stuck for hours waiting for others to decide it's time to go. Boring and the flashing lights give me a headache. Won $500 on the mega millions and that made my day. I pay for the "what if" drawn out anticipation not the instantaneous.
Your perception is only good if symbols do not have fixed positions, obviously, mechanical reels have fixed positions but attempt to randomize the number of symbols that pass the payline on each spin, which they do fairly successfully; but video slots is where your logic falls apart. If a single reel on video slot contain 11 possible symbols and the outcomes are random, then why would they need thousands of stops? They would only need 11, cuz there are only 11 possible outcomes in a single location on a single reel. You would only need thousands of stops on a reel with 11 possible symbol outcomes per single result space if the symbols have fixed, non-random, unmovable positions on the reels- which would then allow a specific number of symbols to pass with each spin according to machine specific rules, thus allowing the average payout percentage to be preset. One might space the highest paying symbols at intervals of prime numbers of symbol spaces apart on an individual reel, make each reel unique in its symbol layout and then make the spin rules with other prime numbers not used to space high paying symbols, for the number of symbol spaces to pass by the payline on each spin, thus being able to completely predetermine each outcome while making it ‘appear’ to be random, telling everyone its random, and then hoping no one figures it out. Or at least if they do, they do not tell regulators whom seem to be as clueless as the so called gambling experts who just promote the same bullshit that they believe to be the truth. You are all hopelessly ignorant.
but you are allowing the computer to decide for u, you are not picking marbles out,you better odds than the marble theory, because the machine puts out wins frequently to get you hooked
This ignores common random numbers and random number seeds. Believe it or not the conveyor belt is more correct. That being said there is no guaranteed jackpot. A machine may not have a jackpot in it at all. The best advice is to never play slots in the first place. The odds are the worst in the casino. Why do you think the machines are everywhere?
Gambling is fun entertainment you ain't meant to make money we all know this!
I like gaming too. I do not think the average person really put these details in their head about the large drum. For me, my bets are always small. Almost everything in life can become a habit, so we just need to spend our entertainment dollars wisely.
I was wondering when they say play for fun! How come you play with real money for fun and you are human being and too much greedy..And you have the fucking fleeing of winning in your head and keep chasing your lose until you lose everything and get mad angry which is a good person changed to the bad person in everything of your entire life. I wish if gambling ban forever in this world. Because I can see that people who can suffer from addiction of gambling till they commit suicide.
What about online casinos then? Pretty confinced that some of these games are rigged. Especially when it comes to online roulette, I've seen many scams on UA-cam also.
So you're saying I can win ?
If you win leave! Immediately! I don't play one machine for more than 5 min ! I don't play more than 20 or 25 cents ! Or go in with more than $20 !
GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT
Shit $20 dollars is nothing to play on slots !!! I'll put $100 dollar bill in and play down to $50 and if no winning cycle cash out and play another machine and my set limit is $200 dollars total each visit and no more go home !!!
You just made me depressed 😒
Sad thing is some people really think there is a strategy to winning on slots...all kinds of untrue myths they believe in...the RNG is real folks...lol
I believe there can be a slight strategy. If you know the general payout percentage and the general frequency of minor payouts, you can hedge your bets to wait-out the machine until you reach payout probability. Simply stated : make the minimum bet the majority of the time, and intermittently raise the bet after a streak of no-wins. The point is to stretch your bank and minimize your losses between wins. I did this once successfully on a quarter machine, and have done it consistently on home computer slot games - assuming computer games are programmed the same as casino slots. It takes a long time, but if you do it right you can come out ahead, and at least stretch your play time. It feels like you are actually "playing" the game, rather than mindlessly feeding it coins until they are gone.
One thing you are leaving out, casino sponsored smart guy,, how does a machine always know when your low on money,, and give you a win to keep you there,, these machine have artificial intelligence,, and when using your players card, that slot will determine what kind of ride they will take you on, and it’s also a fact that machines can be turned up remotely,, So let’s stop with this fairness crap
My dad used to write the software of slots for over 10 years, and you'd be wrong...
Futt Bucker no I’m not
Futt Bucker I do not care what you say, those machine have artificial intelligence, they utilize the players card info, and set up a program for that player,,, you and your casino industry geniuses will not change my mind, casinos cheat, and they get away with it, casinos are owned by Ashkenazi Jews, so they’ll steal every red cent they can
@@johnbailey2024 they do not cheat lololololol. They are set to have a house advantage, which is clearly known and posted for all to see. If they didn't, the casinos wouldn't make money and stay open. Everyone knows before they even enter, they are set to loose money. I never said I was a casino or slot genius. Simply, how they are programmed and function. That's not to say you can't walk out ahead, just know the risk you are taking by gambling. Does a grocery store buy a product for 1$ and sell it for .90$? Of course not. That's not how capitalism works. Now are you being cheated for buying that 1$ item for 1.10$? If you think so, then produce the item yourself for cheaper or free. Chances are you'll be heading back to the store shortly to get "cheated". Casinos are in the business to make money just like any other business in America. Any business model set on taking a profit loss don't last very long, OBVIOUSLY.
British Fruit machines are more like the conveyor belt one
No they aren't..
And I should know, I designed and programmed them for 12 years!
In summation to this all. Casinos are crooked and nobody should make a single bet ever.
I start this and i win the first days.. after a month i achieve to spend all my salary to slot machines... spot it now is shit
Marble Phantasm FTW
You're given misinformation... the spins on slot machine only seems to be random... because you will never get the big payouts... playing a slot machine is like playing against a stacked deck... you cannot beat a stacked deck!
And you know this because...? You are saying casinos and slot manufacturers are lying cheats. The gaming industry is heavily regulated, and machines have to pass rigorous tests and standards. Basically you are promoting a general conspiracy theory, that is easily debunked by the numbers - of all the thousands of people working for casinos and game manufacturers, not one has emerged to report the "truth". Oh right, they keep quiet because they are afraid of getting "wacked". Sorry, it's much simpler that the machines are fair, but just difficult to beat.
There is only one legal way to win from gambling. Constantly.
This is lame . Those odds are not accurate . People win more than that . It's random but random is verrryyy relative. So dumb right now . The only thing I agree with is not to spend money you don't have .
Keep feeding those slots, then! You're probably due for a big win!
I do win . Plenty$$
Well played. Sounds like you've created some winning strategies.
Come back and post when you've lost your house to gambling.
There actually is plenty of strategy to playing progressive slot machines that have to pay out at certain amount. I've won lots of money on them
exactly
make the casinos go backrupt! DONT PLAY!
More and more people are pulling away...
If I think the way you do ill never play
I get what this video is trying to say but I've won the biggest jackpot on 3 different machines before and the second biggest jackpot on, give or take 10 different machines... Of this video was %100 true, i have picked the red ball out of 2,000,000 balls 3 times in my life?!? I would consider myself a little lucky but not that lucky, COME ON!!! One time i won $10,000.00+ betting $0.50!!!
Why is this video focused on jackpot wins? You don't need jackpot wins to enjoy yourself...
I wish for rng roullet
Yeah yeah re RNG why than do you not win win win...as it is just as likely to hit the win win win number as the loss numbers..why after a jackpot does it almost always just suck money and not payout....why do people not hit jackpot after jackpot on a machine...I have played 10s of thousands of hours and there may not be exact patterns...but there is definitely a rythm......If it's so random...it could over the course of any given day or week or month pay out way more than it takes in.....not over the course of a lifetime of a machine maybe but over weeks and months and that never occurs.I am not a winning player but there are no doubt rythms!
oh my god.... I have statistical charts - numbers do not lie - slots are not random at all, but to the gambler it looks random... Instead, put five dices in that bag, and the outcome of the sides of each dice WILL be 100% random for every throw of the dices.... however, one or more numbers on the sides (on the reel strip) will and do change between the spins (during the IDLE time). It will still be a hundred percent random throw.... Why ALL THESE LIES about slots?????
Hello,
Perhaps this other short video will convince you of the opposite of what you wrote: ua-cam.com/video/RkfaL6Th-oY/v-deo.html.
That being said, please note that the average return rate of our video lottery terminals is 92%. The standard set by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) is 83%. This return rate is programmed for each machine and obtained based on millions of games played, taking into account the randomness of results, the multitude of games, the variety of prizes and the possible combinations. Also, this return rate is checked by the RACJ annually. In short, game outcomes are completely up to chance.
Whilst what is said is true to a point it doesnt take into account large betting and the laws that control probability of how often a jackpot will go off, if a jackpot goes off once in every million and it hasn't gone off in 2 million pushes, the odds are IT IS DUE. Nothing beats the laws of probability. This is true misinformation.
1st you don't know if the machine hit the jackpot or how long ago.(which that don't matter anyway). Your idea is common "gamblers fallacy". Every spin resets the probability back to 1 and a million. Probability is based on the likeliness of 1 single event occuring. In your mind, you're thinking that because the jackpot hasn't hit in 2 million spins, it has to come soon. This is the exact reason gamblers loose all their money. If a random outcome happens more often than expected (loosing spins), then a (jackpot) is more likely to occur in the future. That is a fallacy and an incorrect assumption. That's not how randomness works. Your probability remains 1 and 1 million every spin regardless what past events occured. Probability works with things that are mechanical, not random generated. There is not a predetermined number of jackpots in a machine. Only to pay out 90% is guaranteed. That could be in the form of 5$ payouts. Hell the machine may never even ever hit a jackpot. As long as it pays out the legal % by the end of its life. So probability is irrelevant and can't be calculated to begin with. That's why the machine says "probability is no less than 1 and 1 million". But I digress. That's not to say you can't get lucky and hit a jackpot on your first spin, but that has nothing to do with probability and all about chance. Also, take into account the house edge. You are set to loose. This is not like having a bag of marbles with 3 colors and the probability of picking a certain color is X. You are at a disadvantage the entire time. Suppose you play 1 million spins and hit the 1 jackpot. It would cost you 1 million and 1 thousand dollars to do it, putting you at a loss. Or say you hit the jackpot first spin, then take that million and put it into the machine. By the end of the million, you are GUARANTEED to walk home with 0. Unless you walk away right there. (That would be luck or chance not probability). Your comment even debunks your theory within itself. If you have 1 and a million chance to hit a jackpot and it hasn't hit in 2 million spins. Then your probability factor isnt very credible. Long bets or long play probability don't work when your payout is only guaranteed to be 90%. The slot will just chip away at you until it's all gone, unless you walk after hitting lucky. With that, Are you willing to be the one who tests it? You are the exact person the casino loves to have come play. Moral of the story is, when it comes to slots, the more your play the more you will eventually loose. You explained a gambling addiction to the T
@@futt-bucker I disagree, when it hasn't gone off, the probability is considerably higher that it will sooner than later. I see it happen every day. If a machine jackpot hasn't gone off on a machine that goes off every month, you can almost guess it to the day when it will go off. Oh and yes I do do well chasing jackpots.
@@brad9529 That would be if there is a predetermined amount of jackpots in a machine. There isn't. My dad wrote the software for slot machine all over the USA for over 10 years. And I know your full of shit anyways because unless you work there, there is no way for you to know when a machine hasn't hit for X amount of time. Machines are guaranteed to pay 90% or whatever it is. They however are not guaranteed to throw a set number of jackpots, or any jackpots for that matter.
@@futt-bucker mate think what you like, just because your dad made something doesn't make you an expert. Tell that to thousands of professional gamblers who make huge salaries. Some have bad periods and lose but most make good money.
@@brad9529 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL whatever you say my man! 👌👌👌 Professional gamblers play table games, not slots. And I never said I was an expert, just know the facts and know how the machines are programmed.I am not against gambling. I have gone and lost all my gambling money as well as won. In fact all my times playing, I'm up about 3 grand. All I'm saying is slots are made to come out ahead and that's a known fact. With that said, at the end of the day, night, week, month, year, decade, you are theoretically set to walk with 90% of what you started with. I am not saying you cant come out ahead. Of course you can be ahead of that as well as below. That would be the luck of the draw and not probability. All I'm saying. If you have the luck to stay ahead then great for you. And keep taking money from them. I am on your side in that instance. Just understand the risk and know when to walk away. Good luck at the casino, and that is sincere, not a jab. I am all for the people beating the casino. I just know not everybody does and if they did, nobody would work and would just make a paycheck at the casino.
This video is propaganda created by the casinos. Modern slot machines are made my psychologists and software engineers. They are NOT random! They using Pavlovian reward to keep players playing.
IS THAT P A V IOV I A N
Yup. It always knows when you are down to your last dollar and always get a win just to keep you playing.
so what does 94% payback mean you liars?
They aren't lying about that. I think the analogy is a bit messed up cause it sounds like there's only one win and every other spin is a loss.
Take into account that you can win smaller amounts as well, it doesn't have to be the biggest win in the machine. On average, machines return around the range they specified, which means they still make a profit.
YOU WIN 6 PERCENT OF THE TIME
if you have $100, and you spin 50 times...during that time you will win small amounts and some big amounts, but it will always be 945 of your money you put in, once the machine has reached the payback of 94% of that hundred it is destined to make you lose
Slot machines are rigged, whoever say what-slot machines are rigged. They can not deny it. Let casinos play their trash slot machines.
It seems comforting to believe the conspiracy, but what is your evidence they are "rigged"? Anyone that has won money from a slot machine will disagree.
Suckers play the slots. It's all been arranged so they can get your money. You'll get better odds flipping a coin for your bets.
I win alllllllll the time on slots you have to go to the casinos enough to know which machine hit and have the higher percent payback
too much BACKGROUND NOISE!!

What a bunch of BS. Random number generator chips can be adjusted to pay at different percentages via changing the payout table chip.. if they want to loosen the payout, hey have the means to do so.
More likely is the red ball gets added every so often
This doesn’t seem right number 1 how can they state 95% pay out with such a random generator and how does the house secure that you won’t pick a red ball everytime there must be some protection for them
Hi!
The example illustrates the probability of winning, not the payout percentage.
With the bag of 20 marbles, each time you choose a marble, your chance of choosing the red one is 1 in 20, because you always put back the white marble.
Sometimes the red marble could be chosen on the first attempt and sometimes it could take 50 attempts. After millions of games played, statistically, the red marble should be chosen 5% of the time.
Now, let’s say that each time you choose a marble, it costs you $1. If you choose a white marble, you lose your $1, but if you choose a red marble you win $18.40. Statistically, after millions of games played, for every $20 wagered, the payout will be $18,40. So even if the probability of winning is 5%, the payout will be 92%.
Here is an other video that explains all this: ua-cam.com/video/RkfaL6Th-oY/v-deo.html
