Chances of Winning

Chances of winning jackpots in slot machines are held on beliefs.

Some players in the slot machines pin their beliefs on myths created on strategies to winning. Players are attracted to slot machines inside the casino because it easy to operate and does not require much instructions to follow for a new comer. The continuous different sounds coming out from the machine draws out curiosity that someone must be winning a jackpot

A player's ultimate desire when inserting coins in the machine is to win or hit a jackpot. A psychological reaction of inserting more coins is created when the machine releases coins to indicate someone is winning. This drives the player to play some more, and led to a thinking that the next spin would give much higher winnings.

A player believes that winning the jackpot is a few spins away, when the machine displays an almost winning combination, and the jackpot prize is only a few spins away.

These beliefs of players in slot machines are often not true. Some say, that a certain slot machine is due to hit a jackpot if it has not paid out any for quite some time. This has been found out to be not rightly so, because the chances of winning the jackpot combination is computer programmed, and will not produce the same results in every spin.

However, some UK and Japanese style machines are progressive which means there are more chances of winning if a longer time is played in the particular machine if it has not paid any wins out

In some instances, players felt they have missed an opportunity, when he leaves the machine and someone comes up, and hits the jackpot at once. The player would have a feeling of regret that should he stayed some more, he should have been the one to hit the jackpot.

Regrets also come as a psychological reaction, when the machine shows a higher jackpot for playing more coins. The player would feel that he lost the opportunity because of lesser coins he bet.

Above beliefs are not true, since playing slot machine is a game of chance, and results depend exactly on when you play them. Results cannot be predicted, and it is improbable to receive same result regardless of time and number of coins played. Results are computer generated and constantly changes thousands of times per second and would not produce same result for a player.
