A very common and tricky myth is that every slot machine runs on pay cycles and take cycles. So stay away form the machines that are taking and find one that is due to pay. Well this fact is simply not true. No slot machine, online or land based, in today’s world runs off cycles. Every machine runs off RNG’s (random number generators) that as you will see, determines when a machine will pay. The RNG’s are pre programmed into every machine and at each point in time, every spin is completely independent from the last and the one before it and so on. Taking this into consideration, it is impossible for pay and take cycles to exist. We will notice that many myths are simply not true, due to the function of the RNG.

You hear so often, that when someone hits the jackpot in a casino, another person saying, “I was just playing that machine, that jackpot should be mine, I did all the work”. Again, thanks to the RNG, this is also not true. You could spend two hours at a machine and not win more than a couple of bucks, but the next person who tries the machine wins 5000 coins. In this instance you did not do all the work. If you stayed on the machine a few spins longer, chances are you wouldn’t have hit that exact same payout. With RNG’s it is the exact moment in time that you spin the wheel that determines whether you win or lose. So unless, and chances are pretty slim, you hit that spin button at the exact millisecond that the other player would have, you might have clamed the prize, but all your previous spins had absolutely nothing to do with the next player winning.

Another myth that floats about is that the casino may reward a certain player with a jackpot or big win here and there to motivate them to spend more. Besides, if you never win, you will get bored and spend your money on other activities. Although this sounds like it would be a good idea for the casino, it is completely illegal and will never happen in any casino. Bringing us back to our old friend: the RNG. We can’t stress enough, every slot machine is equipped with an RNG and thus every outcome of every spin is completely random, no matter who is playing what game and where. Casinos may reward big spenders with extra bonus dollars or free rooms and meals but who wins the jackpot is totally up to the RNG.

Some people believe that the best strategy is to start off on a machine playing small amounts or the minimum coins required in order to warm it up. This is a bad strategy, and by now I bet you know why, yes that’s right the RNG. You have just as much chance of hitting the jackpot on your first spin as you do on your 200 th spin. If hitting the jackpot is your goal, then it would be wise to play max coins in order to ensure that if you do hit the combination, on your 3 rd, 10 th or 140 th spin, you will be rewarded the whole jackpot amount.

And finally, if you are a math genius and heard that you can beat a machine by calculating the odds of each symbol hitting the pay line, don’t quit your day job. Calculating odds on a slot machine is impossible. The RNG’s function is produce numbers for every spin. These numbers correspond to a specific area of the reel and there are literally hundreds of stops that each reel could make. With over two hundred stops on each reel, means that on a 3 reel slot machine, millions of different combinations can be generated.
