One of the most popular styles of wagering in the today’s world is the slot machine and it generates up to the 70% of the casino’s income. The slot machine has now been into existence for more than around 100 years and has seen many technological changes. While the objective of the game and the basics of the machine remains the same, but the driving technology of a slot machine had immensely, got advanced and all we can do is to say thanks to the microchip.
The old models have mechanical settings and they were operated using reels. When you pull down the handle of the slot machine, reels move in the round spin and the numbers that are painted on the reels gives you the output. Now it is the modern era of machines and is based on the microchip online slot, which is highly complex. Let us look, what happens inside a slot machine when you pull down the handle or just press the button on the touch screen.
Every slot machine contains a microcomputer, which is known as the Random Number Generator abbreviated as (RNG). It keeps on generating numbers constantly, even at that time when the machine is not in use. The RNG typically generate the numbers in between 1 and several billion hundred of times in every second.
The new numbers that are generated are used to determine the positions of the reels in the slot machine. When the player pulls on the handle or hit on the button of spin, all he does is to ask the machine to display the position of the latest numbers that have been generated.
What it means in real terms is that if the player who plays after your chance on the machine hits a big payout, it does not mean that you would have won if you continued playing on that particular slot at that time. The payout comes from the result of the numbers that were generated at that particular moment.
There is no such definite point of time when a machine is about to hit a jackpot. The percentage of the payout and the frequency of the hits have been programmed for a long term. It is quite possible that the machine can go devoid of hitting for quite a lot of days and then suddenly hit the jackpot, twice within a short period of each other. Playing the game on a faster pace will not just improve your chances of winning more times. So just do not ever make up your mind of playing more and more times.
To give an idea of the possibility of hitting a larger payout, let us go through a situation of what happens when you pull down the handle of the slot machine. For the sake of ease, let us go through a three-reel machine. In case, if the machine is having 10 symbols with two blank spaces between each symbol, you have in total 30 positions on each of the reel. That will give you a total of 27000 or 30 to the power of 3 possible results, which you may get while you play your chance.
The chances for you to hit the jackpot on the machine are from 27,000 to 1. Knowing about the fact that RNG is spinning out the numbers so rapidly which means that the winning combination will be generated quite often. But the chance of hitting the spinning button, at that specific moment is very low. And in this way it makes to hit a jackpot on a slot machine such a difficult task. It makes much more sense to play on a slot machine with a higher payback percentage and a lower hit frequency.
