Slot Machine - Terminology, Jargon , Slang,
Vocabulary.
Coin Size -
This is the size of each bet. You can play more than one coin per
spin.
Coins per spin - This is the amount of coins that you can play
for each spin.
Fill - When hoppers run out of coins, a fill is called for
which simply means an attendant gets a bag of coins from the cashier
and refills the empty hopper.
Hit Rate - The average distance between winning spins and non
winning spins.
Hold - This is the percentage of coins played that are held by
the machine, the house profit. In most cases this number is from
roughly 3% to 15% and up.
Hopper - This is where the coins are held in the machine. Often
hoppers are filled to overflowing by players, so they don't only run
empty they sometime are overflowing. When this happens the excess
coins drop into a bucket underneath the hopper. This is the profit the
casino takes.
Max Bet - The maximum amount of coins that can be played per
spin.
Progressive Jackpot - A top prize which grows, giving much
larger possible prizes.
Pay cycle - It is a widely held belief that slots go through
pay cycles which means that after taking in a number of coins they
must pay out in order to meet the percentage payout that has been
programmed into the software.
Pay-line - The line or lines on which the symbols must line up
to score a win.
Payout Percentages - Payout percentages vary from Casino to
Casino and even from slot to slot within a particular Casino. You will
often see signs posted regarding the percentage of payout particularly
at the dollar carousels. You might see as high as 98.2 % payback, this
does not mean that for every 100.00 you play you will get a return of
98.20, hardly. What it does mean is that over the "long" haul the
machine will pay back the posted percentage. Calculated in all of this
are the small wins and the jackpot wins, you could put 500.00 into a
dollar slot machine and get very little back perhaps a hundred or two
and even less. This does not mean the percentage payout is incorrect,
it simply, means that you have not experienced the 98.2% payback. The
next guy coming along may feed a few dollars into the slot machine and
win a jackpot. In his case the payback far exceeded 98.2% posted on
the carousel. And so you can see that over a longer period of time it
all averages out to the posted percentage
Pay Table - The listing of available winning combinations on a
slot machine.
Progressive Slots - This type of slot machine offer growing
jackpots dependent on the amount of money that was played. A larger
bankroll is required and all progressives are at least three coin max
slots with two jackpot levels.
Random Number Generator (RNG) - This is the computer program
that determines which symbols line up on the reels. Its sole purpose
is to generate a sequence of numbers in milliseconds. Each random
number it generates corresponds to a reel combination. Even when a
slot machine is not being used, the RNG keeps doing its job of
generating numbers. Whatever random number was generated the split
second you pull the handle (or hit the "bet one" or "max bet" button)
will result in the corresponding reel combinations that appear on your
screen. The RNG doesn't care how much you bet, whether you bet one
coin or five, whether you pulled the handle or hit the spin button,
whether it's your first play or last, whether you are winning or
losing, or whether you are playing with or without your slot card. It
just continually generates random numbers. If you happen to be the
lucky player that plays the very split second the RNG generated a
number corresponding to a jackpot reel combination, you'll be a big
winner.
Reels - The rotating part of a slot machine, symbols on the
reels arranged vertically.
Symbols - The pictures on the reels. For example BAR symbols.
Take cycle - This is the opposite of the pay cycle. If you
subscribe to the pay/take philosophy then you believe that a pay cycle
is followed by a take cycle, whereby you may get the odd small hit but
essentially it's feeding time for the slot.
Tilt - Slots tilt usually because they have run out of coins,
it happens, or because a coin is jammed in the mechanism. They stop
paying and the tilt light comes on. Coins owing the player are held in
the slots memory and will pay after corrections have been made to the
problem
Top Prize - The top payout, in coins on non progressive slots,
playing max coins.
Winning Combinations - The amount of possible winning outcomes
on the pay table
Wild Symbol - Like a joker will count as any other symbol and
on some slots multiply.
