Is this an Advantage Slot Play?

| TIMSPEED Member since: Aug 11, 2010 Threads: 39 Posts: 543 | I'll get a picture of it this weekend, but I've been wondering for a long time... There's a bank of 1c Triple Lucky 7's slots with independant jackpots...the entire bank has ~$4000 jackpot, but ONE of the machines has a ~$16k jackpot...SAME machines, just that one in particular has a jackpot cranked up...I know with slots it doesn't matter...but it just seems like if the jackpot is up THAT high on the same machine, maybe it has a very thin House Edge...? Like I said, I'll get pics this weekend of the machines for all to decide... They say casino's aren't built on winners...
No...they're built on ignorance. |

The $4,000 jackpot game might actually be better for the player than the $16,000 game. As the player knowing which game is better, unless you know someone who works at that casino, you will never know. |

Unless you're in Melbourne (Australia, not Florida) where, for some strange (and probably legal) reason, the machines have to make the house advantage available. |

| Ayecarumba Member since: Nov 17, 2009 Threads: 113 Posts: 2025 | Do they have to tell you if you ask? What if you were with Gaming Control? At some point, even at 85%, the game has to turn positive. Unfortunately, that could be at $252 million. |

FWIW here in the UK the return HAS to be printed on the glass. 124% of people exaggerate. |

| ahiromu Member since: Jan 15, 2010 Threads: 56 Posts: 550 | Although in games like this that have jackpots, what would the return tell you? Something like... (Direct returns) + (What % goes towards the jackpot) = Return ? Basically, is the break even point built into it at all? |
