Title: where is the money ? Post by: johnnyt on March 18, 2011, 11:47:15 AM I have a S+ machine, and have played it 100,000's times according to the counter. with about 10 different games. i always switch my games to change the mood of my room. when i buy my games i always get the highest % pay out one.
NOW MY PROBLEM :103- i have never heard the jackpot bell ring, nor have i never got a BIG jackpot pay out :60- what gives, am i unlucky or is this how a slot machine works..... don't you think this machine should treat me better, after all i polish it dayly, keep the glass clean, and feed it quaters on a regular diet Title: Re: where is the money ?

You've pulled the handle about a 100,000 times right? Most chips are designed to hit a certain amount of Jackpots within 1 million pulls. So, with that in mind, I'd say you have about 900,000 more pulls to go.... :72- Secondly, with the proper PAR sheet in your hand (which matches the SS chip you're using) you can determine how many Jackpots there are - but you cannot determine when they will happen. :96- Finally, you may NEVER EVER hit a Jackpot payout in your lifetime... it all depends on your luck! Title: Re: where is the money ? Post by: jay on March 18, 2011, 01:20:59 PM Slot math is a bit confusing but the basics are:
Internal to the chip you have a table of winning combinations. When you spin the reels 3 numbers are chosen at random If they correspond with the winning combination you get a payout. The difference between a 98% chip and a 95% chip is that the 98% table has more entries in it. So the PROBABILITY of hitting a winning combination is higher. The slot is completely random - there is NO forcing of these winning percentages its just the law of averages. Here is an example. If you consider flipping a coin 5 times - it is POSSIBLE that heads comes up everytime. if you flip it 1000 times it is POSSIBLE that heads comes up every time. is it probable --- NO, it is LIKELY that you will get some tails. Exactly how many ?????? If you flip it 10,000,000 (10 million) times it is likely that close to 5mil will be heads and 5 will be tails. The slot is the same - with the exception that you have a populated table with different winning values for different combinations and of course only 1 of those combinations is the top award. I have 3 slots and a video poker - have had them for about 6 years. I have never hit a top award. We have hit a couple of second level wins but never the top. Hope this helps.

Post by: knagl on March 18, 2011, 03:51:17 PM For what it's worth, you could change the hopper limit so that you hit a "jackpot" when you hit a pay combination that's smaller than the top most award. Then you'd be able to hear the machine lock up and your jackpot bell ring.
Title: Re: where is the money ? Post by: uniman on March 18, 2011, 10:16:59 PM It also depends on what games you loading into your machine. If it is 10-Times Pay or 5-Times pay than the chances of hitting a jackpot are much harder. If your playing games like Sizzling 7's or say, Hurricane, than you chances are very good and you should have hit a top award by now.
Another note, I believe most games, not all, have the same chance of hitting the top award wether the chip is 98% or 88% and everything in between. It's the middle hits like bars and sevens that are increased in the higher paying chips. What games are you playing? |
