I downloaded BLACK GOLD / MIXED BLACK GOLD COLORED BARS from here:
forum/gambling/slots/33871-bally-par-sheets/
I put in all 72 possibilities for each reel:
SINGLE BAR (1C) 16 18 20
DOUBLE BAR (2C) 13 7 4
TRIPLE BAR (3C) 643
BLACK GOLD (BG) 111
BLANK 36 42 44
and put in the payable listed. Then I had it run 10,000,000 times and each time, it seems to converge on 94% payback. It's not too far off the listed 95.13%, but it seems far enough off that I must have something off. Is there anything more that I'm missing? There is something about the pay being slightly different for 2 coins, but I didn't know what changes to make

The 2-coin paytable is listed on the PAR sheet, in the columns to the right (5000 for the jackpot, 229 for three triple bars, 239 for two black gold and one triple bar (in any order), and so on). Are you using those? 94.74% is what you should get using the 1-coin paytable.

If each reel only has 72 stops don't do a simulation. Just run each reel stop from 1..72, 1..72, 1..72 for a total of 373248 outcomes and that will give you the exact result.

Now that you have retired, this looks like a fun way to while away the afternoon before hitting the early bird special.

Bill, if you are referring to me sadly I am not retired. I no longer work in casino gaming but sadly I still work every day from home. Fortunately a lot of my day is spent in swimming suit and flip flops by the pool with my laptop.

I was just using the 1 coin pay table. I'm just trying to make sense of it all. Its starting to make more sense. I dont see the 239 for two black gold and one triple bar

That'd be good for making sure I have the paytable set up correctly, but I'm more trying to make a demonstrate of the gamblers fallacy than making sure the par sheet is accurate

It's funny reading that thread "why would anyone ever want these?!?!?" Me: "thank God someone posted these!!!!"
They are fairly useless for an average customer walking in to a casino, but there's plenty of reasons to want them. Thanks for posting them!

It's in the "PAY 1" column that's to the right of the "PULLS / HIT" column; it's the fifth from the right edge of the page. The rows are offset, but the top value (5000) applies to the BG BG BG result, the second row (229) to the 3C 3C 3C result, the third row (239) to the 3C BG BG result, and so on down the page.
