How slot machines work – and why you should think twice ...

The isbig the U.S., an US$240 to the each year, while $38 in tax and 17 jobs.

What may not is that slot, video poker and other make up the bulk of all that. At, for, such have up to 89 of. slots in most, table games like, video poker and other forms of.

What about slot makes them such money? In part, it has to do with’ to hide their true price from even the of. that when the price of goes up, for it tends to fall.

But that, which for most of the we make. That is, other than to the’s and the auto, we know the price of most and we to pay for them.

Slots may be even worse than the’s, in that most of us will never know the true price of our. Which means the law of and down. think of price in terms of what is known as the or house on each bet by., it’s the edge that is built into the game. For an, his or her with the game will in a “price” that looks a lot.

For, a game with a 10 house – which is. This means that over the long run, the game will 10 of all it to the that owns it. So if it $1 in over 2 spins, it would be to pay out $900,000, in a gain of $100,000. Thus from the’s, the “price” it is the 10 it to from over time.,, will price as the cost of the spin. For, if a bets $1, spins the reels and no, that’ll be the price – not 10 cents.

So who is? Both, in a way. While the game has $1 from the, knows that 90 cents of that will be to other.

A could never know this,, given he will only be for an hour or two, which he may hope a large will make up for his many and then some. And at this rate of play it could take years of a slot for the’ to.

This in price is in the gap the view of the and the view of. This is one of the I’ve in my more than three in the the of games and as a them.

Let’s, who just got his and heads to the with $80 to spend over an hour on a night. There are three: He loses, hits a and wins big, or makes or loses a but to walk away the odds turn him.

Of, the first is far more than the other two – it has to be for the to its house. The funds to pay big come from (who get wiped out). all these, there can be no big – which is why so many play in the first place., the sum of all the is used to fund the big., to, many must lose all of their night.

What is less to many is that the at the level. That is, lose their $80 in a (that is, a rate of 10 per spin). If this were the slot, it would be. But it would make it very easy for a to the price he’s., the is, which is of hope and. Even a slot may have a house from’s, such as 4, it can and often does win all of’s night in short order.

This due to the the slot’s pay table – which lists all the and the of for each one. While the pay table is to the, the of each. Of, these are a of the house – that is, the price of the wager.

This rare to hide the price of a good or an for to raise the price the – if they can get away with it. are under to their slot, but they do not want to kill the goose by the “price” too much. If are able to these price by the games, then they may to play at.

This, as it is and from a slot.,many the house of their slot, that can these price.

Our new,, has found that in the have gains in with no signs of even by savvy. In of two reel games, the games for the. These were ina study. no of play from the games, the fact their were a mere 3 feet away., these in spite of the to play the games. That is, the pay were on both the high- and games, each of the. The only was the of each.

Armed with this, may be more to. And for, reel slot may to avoid.
