Play Online Slots – Avoid These Errors! Part 3
Online slot myths are based around the idea that you can tell when a machine is going to payout. When playing online slots however you can’t as they are a game of chance.
In part 1 and 2 we looked at ways to win and now were going to agen bola resmi look at some myths you can avoid that will help you cut losing plays.
To understand online slot machine myths and how they have become so common you need to understand how the random number generator works.
The RNG
The numbers produced by the Random Number Generator in any slot machine are not truly random but are the result of a mathematical formula.
If you knew the formula used and the value of the last random number generated, you would be able to calculate the next random number but you won’t be able to achieve this here’s why:
The RNG is a series of codes written into the game chip, it is an electronic program that generates numbers and it does so at a rate of least 100 numbers every second. In any online slot machine, each one of the numbers corresponds to a result on the reels.
For the player, playing online slot machines therefore it is a random choice from a range of numbers that will determine whether they win or lose.
You simply can’t BEAT The RNG
The RNG is always generating numbers-whether the machine is being played or is sitting idle. The chip is generating numbers at a rate of over 100 per second as stated earlier and this is important point to remember when playing an online slot machine.
When you press the spin button the computer chip retrieves the number that is generated at that EXACT instant.
Even if the programmer of the slot machine (who knows the sequence in which the numbers are being generated), tried to beat it, by the time he calculates what the next number will be, the machine will have run away from him – Computers crunch numbers faster than humans!
While the RNG is not totally random by the nature of its programming from a player’s point of view it is and it is impossible to beat it, to the player it is as good as random because he can’t beat the calculation.
The fact that many players don’t really understand how the RNG works has led to the common playing errors listed below.
1. A player hits the jackpot on the machine you just left; you could have won
No you could not.
The RNG is continuously cycling through numbers even when the machine is not being played. These numbers correspond to the stops on the wheel that display the winning or losing symbols that are seen when the reels stop.
When you hit the spin button, the RNG picks the combination at that given microsecond. If you had stayed at the machine.
You would have had to play at the exact hundredth of a second that the other player did his spin and when playing online slot machines that’s highly unlikely.
