Modern casino slot games are controlled by computer software, and the win %s are preprogrammed into the computer software.

Casino one armed bandits have Random # Generators that are eternally generating combos, even when the game is not being played.

Running in unison with the random # generator of the casino slot machine game is the pay out rate %.

The payout percentage controls just how much the slot machine game will payout, for e.g. the payout percentage might be ninety percent, which means the slot machine game will pay out ninety percent of all the wagers played, and the casino gets to keep ten percent.

This does not mean that each and every time you bet 10 credits you will receive nine in return – where is the fun … thrill in that? Instead, the casino slot machine won’t pay out for a bit, and then suddenly hit a hot streak and you might draw the big pot prize.

The pay off percentages usually will vary between the different games and several of the very established casinos, like Golden Online Casino, which puts forth a pay out rate of up to 95 per cent!

Therefore, in essence, the slot machine game takes all the dough played into it and pays it out to a few chosen winners. The casino only gets to keep a basically minute per cent of all the bets allotted.

The casino one armed bandit software controls every single part of the machine, from the flashing lights to the revolving of the reels.

When you hit spin on the one-armed bandit, a combination is generated by the RNG which connects with the pictures on the reel.

Books have been written on this topic, and the disquiet and ruckus about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still on-going – 60 yrs after slot machines were 1st placed in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slots were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that everyone passing by would see actual jackpot winners and be titillated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our feeling is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Most of the mega casinos today are jumbo complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any doorways.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly however, we find that this also isn’t a universal rule any more.

What casinos found over the years is that people walking down the busy aisles were frequently on the way to somewhere else. If they played slot machine games at all, they would simply put in their loose change because they happened to be walking by. Win or lose, they would very often not stop to keep playing. And the very last thing a casino wants is for someone to win a jackpot by playing only a few coins and then not stay to put it all back in!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
