Modern casino slots are controlled by computer chips and software, and
win percentages are preprogrammed into
software. Casino slots have Random Number Generators (RNG) which are continually generating combinations, even when
machine is not being played.
Running concurrently with
RNG of
casino slot machine is
payout percentage.
The payout percentage controls how much
slot machine will payout, for example
payout percentage might be 90%, meaning
slot game will payout 90% of all
bets played and
casino only gets to keep 10%.
This is not to say that every time you bet 10 credits you will receive 9 in return – where is
fun and excitement in that? Instead
casino slot machine game will not pay out for a while, and then suddenly go on a hot streak and you might hit a big jackpot.
