Slot Myth #1:
You should not play a slot machine after a casino employee has been working on it because he changed the odds.
This is not true-the odds are pre-programmed by the manufacturer of the machine, not the casino employees.
Slot Myth #2:
The machines that are located the closest to the casino entrance have the highest odds of paying out.
While this trick may have been used once upon a time to lure gamblers into the casino and keep them there, it is no longer necessary due to the amazing popularity of gambling and casinos today.
Slot Myth #3:
A machine that has just paid out will not be hitting the jackpot again for quite a while.
Since slot machines have no memory, this is impossible. Payouts are randomly generated by the machine, so theoretically you could win something two times in a row.
Slot Myth #4:
You have better odds of hitting the jackpot if you play the game with one coin at a time.
While the odds of winning a huge amount of money is always reasonably small on a slot machine, if you play the maximum number of coins allowed, you can possibly raise the payout percentage.
Slot Myth #5:
I will get back $75 of every $100 I spend if the machine says it has a 75% payback. This figure is actually a long-term percentage, which is the average income over a longer period of time. It is possible to win more or less than this percentage.
Slot Myth #6:
By pulling the machine's handle instead of pushing the button, you will win big money more frequently.
Because a slot machine is only a machine, it does not know if you are pushing the button or pulling the handle. So, pulling the handle will not get you any further ahead.
