Myths associated with slot machines

Among players, that often play online slots and every single time are willing to win a jackpot, there exist many myths about how to increase your chances to win.

According to one of them, for example, if putting a hot coin onto the slot machine you might gain the jackpot. There’s nothing even close truth in that myth, because the slot machine does not react to the coin temperature.

In Great Britain, most of the slot machines in casinos are progressive, which means that the chances to win grow every minute, until the machine gives away the jackpot to one who is luckier. Some players try to count, how many players played on the machine, so they can guess when the jackpot is coming out. The reality is that if the machine hasn’t given away the jackpot, you can’t be sure it’ll give it away soon.

There’s a theory about places where usually the “generous machines” are located, this is referred to the machines with the highest giving percent. Those machines are putted in gambling halls so the other players can see what a large prize is won. Then the witnesses of somebody else’s luck can decide to try that on themselves and sit to play to slot machines with low giving percent. Usually some of those machines are located together in the same place. Some players think that the winning probability is different when you play using cash and when you use the player’s card. As a matter of fact, that does not show up on the probability of winning.

According to the gambling monitoring law, the casinos cannot change the giving percent in slot machines at different time of the day, day of the week, holiday or weekends. There’s also a myth that the management of the casino can change and command the parameters of slot machines remote using some special devices. All the parameters are predefined when manufactured, so to change them a chip had been installed in the slot machine must be changed. Here might be some small exceptions. In the so called fruited “slot machines”, used in Great Britain, you can use the option “percent key”, which is installed in the motherboard of the slot machine’s computer and changes the defaults.

In Great Britain don’t exist any special regulations on the slot machine’s giving percent installation. Another variant: if in one place many slot machines are located – up to thousand, the giving percent can be changed from the central computer and not by changing the parameters of one single machine.
