Diffrences in return based on denomination.

I know that just about every website (including the wizards) say that a machine with say 25 cents per credit on average pays back a return a little greater then say a nickle or penny slot machine does.

Does this hold true for the machines that you choose the denomination on? For example if im at a machine that you can press and choose 1 cent, 2 cents, or 5 cents am I giving myself a sliver of a better return by choosing 5 cents per credit vs 1 cent per credit- or is the machine its self going to not change its return rate no matter which denomination I select on it?

I think for multi denomination machines, that the payout percentage is set on the machine, regardless of domination.

I would agree. In reality, its not the amount of money displayed on the machine or how the public refers to the machine, its the actual money that will be most likely to be deposited into the machine per pull that the casino's accountants look at. That machine has to earn an income for the square-footage that it occupies. The same RNG will be used if the player chooses to make a credit worth a nickel as if the player opts to make a credit worth a dollar. Signage either on, in or above the machine does not alter the RNG in any way.

I don't know if that's true.

For multi-denominational video poker machines, for example, try looking at the pay tables (especially on newer games) as you increase the denomination. You'll see more player friendly pay tables with the higher denominations.

I don't see why slots might not be programmed any differently, though there is no need to do so. Certainly there is no law that states that you get a better payout with a higher denomination with a slot machine.
