Is it possible to figure out the risk of ruin for a slot machine? If so what is the formula?

Any game with a house edge will be 100%.
Expectation is the root of all heartache.

It is not possible unless you have the probabilities of each individual outcome. If you have access to a PAR sheet you may be able to figure it out.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I have the par sheet. What is the Risk of Ruin Formula? Also what is the Variability Index?
