HOW CASINOS USE ARITHMETIC TO EARN MONEY WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME
It is simple to use the present slot machine. Players insert
circulation, decide on their bet amount, press spin, and hope for the best.
Most of the varieties of slot machines in casinos today, from machines with
physical spinning reels (industry folks call them “steppers”) to slots that
reproduce spinning reels on a video screen, but they all play essentially the
same way. Video poker is a special form of video slot in which players can use
some expertise in holding the most superior cards. All other slot machines,
whatever their branding, are games of pure coincidence.
The chance aspect of slot machines is what makes them so
attractive to so many people. If you have idea how to put cash into a slot and
push a button, you have just as good a shot at winning a jackpot as someone
who’s been playing for how many years. At long last, it all comes down to luck.
And who doesn’t feel fortunate, sometimes?
Slot machines appeal to casinos because they are, as long as
enough people play them, stable money-makers. To express in words, why they are
so dependable for casinos, I talked to Bob Ambrose, who broke into the industry
at the Tropicana Atlantic City in the early 1980s and is today a gaming
consultant and casino management instructor at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
“It is all,” he says, “about the game math.”
When casinos focus at how a slot machine is performing, the
most basic number they look at is the drop. That is the money throw down by the
player in the machines. Another number you might hear is handle, which Ambrose
described as the total amount bet by a player. How can a player bet more money
than she puts in? Well, if she puts in $100, wins a $50 jackpot, and keeps on
playing until all her money is gone (including that $50 "win"), she
has produce a drop of $100 and handle of $150.
Games with low elusive, like video poker, pay back more
frequently but in smaller amounts, while high elusive games, like the Megabucks
progressive, have fewer, bigger (think several million dollars at most) hits.
So while the prospective payoff from a high elusive game can be bigger, your
money will usually buy you more time playing on a low elusive game.
The player is not really get an edge on slot which relies on
pure chance.
“There is a analytical advantage for the casinos,” Ambrose
says. “The math of the game ensures that casinos generate a persistent positive
win for themselves.”
Player can benefit from one thing: if slot machines never
paid out anything, players would stop playing, and casinos would go out of
business. Most administration command that slots return a set minimum amount to
players (85 percent is the magic number in Nevada, though most machines return
more than that on average). It might not be much comfort when you’ve lost your
last credit, but someone has to win a piece of that 85 percent, and next time
it might be you.
And that is the plead of slots, to casino manager and
jackpot hunter alike. “For the player,” concludes Ambrose, “there has to be a
practical chance to win. But in the fullness of time, the edge will always fall
in the casino’s favor.”
Something to recall, because no matter how fortunate you
feel, eventually the casino will get prosperous.
