When is a slot machine ready to pay off? Ah, that million-dollar question. If only we knew when an online slot’s jackpot will pay, we’d probably be rich by now.
While there are many articles on Google about slot machines. Very few of them are the real deal. Which prompted the OC2 to take investigate.
Step on right over as we gaze into our crystal ball quickly. That’s just us being funny.
Here’s the deal, 99.999 percent of the time nobody knows when a slot machine is going to pay off. By this, we mean when the jackpot will hit.
Some online slot studios notify players that the jackpot hits after tens of millions of spins.
Other than that, traditional slot machines are never on the verge of hitting. Come to think of it, that sounds scary.
As such, many players believe that slot games are bottomless pits into which they randomly toss their money.
By law, each result on a slot machine must meet a standard of randomness.
When an online software developer like Betsoft creates a slot game with a special number.
It assigns even more numbers to the same results of that slot machine online.
If it’s a high variance slot like Nolimit City’s, Tombstone RIP. Guess what?
The slot game developer assigns a few or even just one number. It’s safe to say, the more volatile a game is; the fewer numbers it has.
In stark contrast to high-variance games are low variance slots. Game developers assign many more numbers to them.
As a result, the jackpot pays off more frequently.
Once you picked a slot online at our top non GamStop Casinos. You deposit money and start to play.
If you’re wondering what goes on behind the reel mechanic. Here’s a simplified explanation.
When you power up the slot machine, the game studio already assigned an RNG to it.
The random number generator assigns a “seed number” which it cycles through continuously.
Even if you don’t spin the reels of the slot game. The sequence of numbers the RNG creates translates instantly into a result.
The RNG cycles through thousands of numbers per second in between spins.
Let’s put it this way, no one can predict the numbers on which the RNG will land.
Even if you take a break from the slot and someone else plays it and hits the jackpot.
You have no reason to be angry. Since the cycle occurs at a blistering pace. Chances are you would have missed it anyway.
While no one can predict when the jackpot will pay off. We do have some expert slots tips that can improve your chances of winning.
The first pro tip from is to you is the RTP. The RTP is the abbreviation for return to player percentage.
You’ll find the RTP of the online slot in the game menu or Paytable.
However, the slot games in land casinos are not as forthcoming with their RTPs as their online cousins.
Commons sense states that you must pick the slot with the highest RTP. We don’t necessarily agree because it depends on what you’re looking for.
For the time being, we’ll leave it at that. Furthermore, play the most popular slots at online casinos.
There are two ways we know when a slot game is on the ‘verge of paying off’. The first one is if the online casino notifies us if it’s on the verge of a payoff.
The second one also coincides with the first point. The slot hasn’t paid out in ages. Keep in mind, it only applies to certain slot games.
A progressive slot at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas did not pay off in more than 20 years. Luckily progressive slots at online casinos pay off every 2 to 3 years.
Besides, it’s not good for business practice if they only pay out over prolonged periods of time.
As we pointed out earlier, 99.999 percent of the time no one can predict the outcome of a slot.
Not even near-future results. But, some expert slots players (like us) do work with a 0.1 percent probability.
In other words, a phenomenon we call “Must-Hit-By” mainly applies to progressive slots jackpots.
Slot designers will notify the casino when the jackpot is on the verge of paying off. They usually do this for slots with jackpots between $10,000 and whatever.
If a slot machine ticks away a $4,900 and says the jackpot will pay off on $5,000.
Take note, and start playing it, because you can win the jackpot on any spin. So, realistically speaking, it’s the only game that is “ready to pay”.
A small army of players will be chasing the jackpot. There is still no guarantee that you’ll win the jackpot.
