There are many people who don't understand the inner working of the slots how they do. So it is much easier for them to explain their loss or their win with some false logic. And like any other stories, these are passed from one to another until they become gospel. Most of these misconceptions and myths are harmless but at the same time they can increase your frustration and decrease your enjoyment from your casino visit. To avoid this unpleasant effect it's better to take a look at some of the most popular myths and to explode them.

1.Many players believe that when somebody hit a jackpot on the slot, they have just left, they would have also gotten a jackpot, if they continued playing.
This statement is absolutely absurd, because every slot machine has a computer chip inside and it operates on the basis of the Random Number Generator. So, it has no reason to assume that you could stop it at the same time as the winner did. RNG is cycling through thousands of combinations while you are talking to your friend or having you drink.

2.Counting the symbols on each wheel it is possible to tell the odds.
It's also absolutely impossible, because RNG creates a number for every single spin. And this ability to generate huge amount of combinations is the reason why slots often have large paybacks.

3.Casino can tighten or loosen the slot machine flipping the switch
It is impossible to do without a lot of paper work and many approvals. The percentage is fixed in a computer chip and to change anything casino has to change a chip. For this reason, it is easier for casino to decide on the payback before buying the slot machine.

4.The way machines pay is affected with the temperature of the coins played.
This myth, at first, can't be true and, secondly, can be dangerous for a person who believes in it.
However, a Slot Machine has no feelings and it doesn't matter for this instrument how hot or how cold the coin is. So don't make stupid things like heating coin with a lighter or something like that.

5. Using of a club card makes a Machine to pay less.
There is no link between the RNG and the card reader. On the contrary, without using your player's card you may lose such preferences like valuable comps or cash back from online casino.

6. After a jackpot, machines have to turn cold to create the payout.
But the true is that machines continue to pay even after a big hit and they pay at a normal rate.
7.Casinos can place their loose slot machines in definite locations
It is believed that casino usually place their loose machines near the door, near the cashier, near the poker table, or near any other hot spot. But being a player you never know where they are for sure.

8.The best time for slot payouts is weekend.
As well as others myths it can't be truth, because, slots are generated at random and this is the reason why they can't depend on the day of the week.

9. If a slot machine is out of service it means it has just hit a big payout.
Indeed, it doesn't mean anything except that the machine is really out of service. It is normal situation like for any other machine or computer.

10. If a slot machine doesn't pay out for a long, it is near the pay-out.

You can't be sure in it due to the same reasons. The random generator designs numbers independently on the period from one payout to another. Unfortunately, there are still many people who don't understand and even don't try to understand basic principles of slots machines. And for them it's more easily to accuse a machine of their failure. So, it's better to listen to your feelings when you start playing online slots, than to advice based on the common myths or something like that.
