Online Slots - Myths and Truths

Slots are quite popular gambling entertainments and it is not surprisingly that gambling on slot machines is surrounded with a huge amount of various most incredible and sometimes silly myths and legends.

It is a known fact that any slot machine' s performance is governed by Random Number Generator (RNG) that constantly generates series of random numbers, which in their turn define what symbol combination would appear on pay lines after the reels stop.

In other words, gamblers could influence neither slots odds nor their playing results with the number of attempts they made or using sophisticated strategies how to hit the jackpot.

Despite the abovementioned fact, there are a lot of slots superstitions about which gamblers-novices could be easily confused. In this section we would like to tell you about common wrong slots myths, so you would avoid usual gamblers' mistakes.

Myth #1

• The more you play on the same slot machine, the more winning chances you have

  Certain symbol combination that appears on pay lines as a result of reels spinning depends completely on what numbers RNG generates, which does not care at all how many gamblers have tried their luck on certain slot apparatus or how much money they have spent.

Myth #2

• There is a sure winning slots strategy

  Wise and experienced players know perfectly that slots are the game of luck and that there is no definite playing strategy or tactics, which could provide them with a secret how to hit the jackpot.

  As we said before players cannot influence RNG and therefore, they are not able to change reels spinning results applying so-called 'slots winning methods'.

Myth #3

• Land based casinos pay more than online casinos

  It is really easy to disprove this myth if compare brick and mortar and online casinos' rates of payout.

  In reality the situation is often the opposite, which could be explained with the fact that online casinos do not need to pay some rent and other operating expenses and therefore, they could allow themselves to offer more attractive higher payout rate.

Myth #4

• Gambling at night is more profitable

  Some gamblers believe that if they play slots game at night they would have more winning chances than in the morning, evening or afternoon.

  They explain this that at night slot machines are usually full of money as players insert them during the whole day. We are not going to argue about the quantity of coins inside the machines but anyway the probabilities of jackpot hitting stay always the same as they are determined by RNG, which does not care what time it is.
