Who controls
the payback of a slot machine, the slot manufacturer or the casino?
Today’s casino slot machines contain a random number generator
(RNG) that controls the payback percentage of each machine. When a casino
purchases a slot machine it tells the manufacturer what percentage it
wants that particular machine to return to its customers. A casino can
always change the payback percentage, but it must go back to the manufacturer
and have them reprogram the RNG.
Is it important in video poker to play the full number of coins?
Yes, because if you look at the paytable closely you will notice a non-symmetrical
progression on the royal flush payline. Your typical royal flush payline
looks like this; 250, 500, 750, 1000, 4000. Note the jump with the fifth
coin inserted. Not playing that fifth coin, will cost you 12% over the
long haul. |
