\"Slots\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Slots-Back when I worked security in an\u00a0Atlantic City casino<\/a>, patrons would often ask me, \u201cWhich slot machine is the one that\u2019s going to hit?\u201d My usual response was, \u201cIf I knew that, I wouldn\u2019t be working here anymore,\u201d followed by a knowing chuckle. Never failed to get at least a smile in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slot machines remain the most important money-making part of casinos in the United States. In many states, casinos make between\u00a065<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a080<\/a>\u00a0percent of their gambling income from slots. In Las Vegas, the percentage varies from\u00a088 percent<\/a>\u00a0in casinos that cater primarily to locals to\u00a050 percent<\/a>\u00a0on the Las Vegas Strip, where high rollers betting tens of thousands a dollar a hand skews the results in favor of table games. Every day, players put millions of dollars into slot machines. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The chance aspect of slot machines is what makes them so appealing to so many people. If you know how to put cash into a slot and push a button, you have just as good a shot at winning a jackpot as someone who\u2019s been playing for twenty years. In the end, it all comes down to luck. And who doesn\u2019t feel lucky, sometimes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Slots\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slot machines appeal to casinos because they are, as long as enough people play them, stable money-makers. To explain why they are so reliable for casinos, I talked to Bob Ambrose, who broke into the industry at the Tropicana Atlantic City in the early 1980s and is today a gaming consultant and casino management instructor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. \u201cIt is all,\u201d he says, \u201cabout the game math.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When casinos look at how a slot machine is performing, the most basic number they look at is the drop<\/strong>. That is the money deposited by the player in the machines. Another number you might hear is handle<\/strong>, which Ambrose defines as the total amount bet by a player. How can a player bet more money than she puts in? Well, if she puts in $100, wins a $50 jackpot, and keeps on playing until all her money is gone (including that $50 “win”), she has generated a drop of $100 and handle of $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s left after the machine pays out its jackpots is the casino\u00a0win<\/strong>, also known as\u00a0revenue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how do slot machines decide who wins and who loses? \u201cPayouts on slots are statistically calculated<\/a>,\u201d says Ambrose. Pressing spin activates the random number generator, which is an algorithm that determines whether each spin is a win or a loss, and how big a win is. Each game, Ambrose says, has a set hold percentage and a pay table that details how often and how much games will pay back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games with low volatility, like video poker<\/a>, pay back more frequently but in smaller amounts, while high volatility games, like the Megabucks progressive, have fewer, bigger (think several million dollars at most) hits. So while the potential payoff from a high volatility game can be bigger, your money will usually buy you more time playing on a low volatility game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can a player get an edge on a slot which relies on pure chance? Not really. \u201cThere is a statistical advantage for the casinos,\u201d Ambrose says. \u201cThe math of the game ensures that casinos generate a consistent positive win for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if slot machines never paid out anything, players would stop playing, and casinos would go out of business. Most jurisdictions mandate that slots return a set minimum amount to players . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is the appeal of slots, to casino manager and jackpot hunter alike. \u201cFor the player,\u201d concludes Ambrose, \u201cthere has to be a realistic chance to win. But in the long run, the edge will always fall in the casino\u2019s favor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something to remember, because no matter how lucky you feel, eventually the casino will get luckier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
