Video Poker  & Slots  Myths

 Here is a video poker & slots myth. A slot machine that is about to payout can be spotted. False, slot & poker machines have telltale signs to be spotted as a winning machine.

Another video poker & slots myth. Casinos always place loose machines in specific locations. False, casinos will move machines around the casino. No specific place.

Video poker & slots myth. Always pick a favorite machine and only play that one. False, many people will continue to play a machine they have won at but this can cause a loss of winnings. If you win cash out and leave. Here is hard video poker & slots myth. People have a tough time believing this one. A machine that just paid a royal should be avoided. False, because of the random number generator the machine can continue to hit.

 Slot machines have a set pattern or sequence of spins that can be determined through careful and intense study. False, slots and video poker are based on RNG- random number generator.

 Slot machines pay more often if only one coin at a time is bet. False, the slot or video poker machine has no idea how many coins you put into the machine. It will produce the same spin whether you play one or max coins. So bet one or 5 or more same spin. Only thing affected is amount you win.

The video poker & slots myth that there is a better chance to hit a jackpot when the casino is busy is false. Machines are going to hit when they are ready regardless of how busy or slow. Of course the more people in a casino the more jackpots you will hear.

There is a better chance of winning by pulling the handle instead of pushing the button. False, slot machine handles and slot machine buttons use exactly the same computer chip inside. It does not matter push or pull, the spin is still the same spin.

Video poker computer chips are the same whether you bet one coin at a time or use the max bet button.

A casino can advertise “loosest slots, 100% payback”. True, but all they need are at least two machines set at that payback and they don’t have to show where in the casino they are placed. The video poker & slots myth here is people think it is all the machines.

 Only bet max coins. True, but only on a machine you can afford and only for you bankroll. And the number of coins won't influence the numbers that are picked.

Video poker and slot machines win better if the coins are hot or cold another one of those far out video poker & slots myths. Think about it, really, the machines can not feel temperatures of coins.

The faster/ slower you play means more wins. False, again computer chip and RNG determine wins. Anyone can play a shill machine. True, this is not a video poker & slots myth. Casinos pay people to play, they are called shills.The shill plays with casino money, at designated slot machines. These machines are usually near the front so when they do hit people out side see this and come in to play.
