Online Slots Myths:

Slot Myth #1
You will win more frequently if you pull the handle on the slot machine, instead of pushing the button. This is false. Pulling the handle and pushing the button are interpreted the same by the machine. The only difference is your arm won't be as sore if you use the button.

Slot Myth #2
Playing one coin at a time increases your chances of hitting the jackpot. The odds of winning big in slots is always small, but playing the maximum number of coins can raise the payout percentage.

Slot Myth #3
If there is an advertisement for a 75% payback on a slot machine, I will earn back $75 for every $100 I play. These percentages are actually long-term numbers, which is the average income over quite a long period. When you are playing a slot machine, it could payout more or less than the percentage that is advertised.

Slot Myth #4
If you play the slot machines closest to the casino entrance, those machines have higher odds of paying out. This idea comes from the old way of people thinking that winning machines near the door will bring more people into the casino. This may have been true a long time ago before casinos were extremely popular, but this method is no longer necessary in today's gambling age.

Slot Myth #5
Once a slot machine pays out, you should not play it again because you won't hit the jackpot for a long time. The machines do not have memory, so the results generated are completely random and could even pay off in the next pull after a jackpot has been hit.

Slot Myth #6
Casino employees can change the odds on a slot machine, so avoid machines that are being worked on. Payoffs come pre-programmed by the manufacturer in a coded computer chip. It is virtually impossible for anyone to alter the odds because of this.
