What is a slot machine:
A slot machine, poker machine, or fruit machine is a
one handed machine which is usually seen in the casinos.
Slot
machine can be played by inserting coins, cash, or in
newer machines, a bar-coded paper ticket, into a
designated slot on the machine. Slot machine is
activated by pulling a lever or pressing the button. In
some new machines the system used is run by computers
and it can be activated by pressing a touch screen on
its face. The game of slot machine generally depends
upon the luck of the person playing the slot machine but
the skill of the player can also be included if the
person is playing well. Slot machines are very popular
because it is played with a very small amount of money
and nearly every person going to the casino uses the
slot machine.
How the slot machine works:
As it is stated earlier the slot machine is activated by
inserting a coin. After you push the lever the symbols
on the screen of the machine starts rotating and after
you leave the lever the machine starts to stop. When the
machine stops it generally pays the gambler based on
patterns of symbols visible on the front of the machine.
The game usually involves matching symbols in some old
machines on the mechanical reels that spin and stop to
reveal one or several symbols, or on a video screen on
the new machines. Symbols may be fruit color and heart
shape. The machine is stopped by the command given by
the software in the new machines and in the older
machines it stops randomly by the motor fixed in the
machine. Most games have a variety of winning
combinations of symbols If a player matches a
combination according to the rules of the slot machine
then the slot machine pays the gambler the price or
something equivalent to the cash price.
What are the Odds in the slot machine?
Most modern
slot machines
are designed to look and feel like the old slot
machines, but the working of these machines is on a
complete different principle. The result of each pull is
in reality controlled by a central computer inside the
machine and not by the motion of the reels. Using a slot
machine is very easy and the machine is available in
every casino.
