• Is There A Slot Machine Called Rossa Ginax Crystal Lake

Crystal Cash Slot Free Play Demo Game. In the Crystal Cash free play slot game, you’re literally set in the proverbial lap of luxury, as the baubles and extravagances roll by on the reels: Bejeweled purses, thousand-dollar shoes, golden diamond-encrusted (!) convertibles, gold watches, a diamond pendant which looks suspiciously like the “Heart of the Sea” from Titanic – does Rose. This 5 reel slot machine comes with 243 ways to win and offers plenty of rewards and surprises to make you happy. Enjoy the wild offering double payouts or the multipliers along with good bonus features while spinning the reels. This is a jewel-themed game so all the symbols represent some precious jewels.

The EPROM chips, which control the theoretical return percentages on slots, are generally changed very rarely. It would be bad business to loosen and tighten the slots according to the day of the week. For any given casino there is some optimal return to maximize profit. Wherever that is, a smart slot manager would find that point and then just leave the EPROMS set to that return.

1. Given the random number generator stops on a virtual Cherry say, how does the machine make the physical reel stop on a visible cherry? I mean technically speaking.
2. Does this explain how pachinko machines from Japan can electronically alter payout percentages without altering the physical reel symbols?
3. Suppose the machine decides its time for a BAR, the only BAR on the third reel, just as one passes the pay-line. Does it let the reel go one full turn and catch it on the next go-round?
4. Suppose a physical reel stops on a paying combination by mistake, i.e. a symbol other than the virtual one pre-ordained. What happens then?

Thanks much.

Let me answer each question individually.

1. It is just programming code that dictates to the machine that if the virtual reel stops on a cherry to make the actual reel stop on a cherry. There are actual notches on the reels which may help the machine to stop in the right place. If you peer through the glass at and angle you can sometimes see these notches. However, I am not an engineer and am not sure exactly how the machine knows to stop at just the right moment. It just take it for granted that it can.
2. Theoretically, the casino could change the payout on a slot machine with just a remote control. The remote control could tell the machine to use any previously programmed virtual reels. Practically speaking, the major casinos need to get approval from the gaming authorities to change the payback of a machine. If they did get such authorization all a slot technician has to do is replace a chip inside the machine, known as an e-prom. This happens infrequently and would not warrant the expense of a remote control.
3. It seems to me the reels spin at least several times before stopping.
4. In the unlikely even that happened, then I think it would trigger a malfunction and the bet would be voided.

No, that information won’t help you at all. Your odds are always the same on every spin, regardless of the counters.

They are some kind of counter. As a player they won’t help you at all, just ignore them.

To answer your question I asked a well connected gaming consultant and he said Nevada regulations state that one stop on a reel can not be weighted more than six times more than either stop next to it. So if a jackpot symbol were weighted by 1 and both bordering blanks were weighted by 6 then there would be 12 near misses for every one time the reel stopped on the jackpot symbol. This would be the maximum allowed near miss effect. My own results detailed in my slot machine appendix 1 back up this theory well. The red double seven was the highest paying symbol and I saw the blanks above and below it about 5 to 6 times as often:

Double Strike Actual Results

The same source said that New Jersey and Mississippi likely have adopted the Nevada regulations.

There is a 'look up' table that maps the various random numbers to stops on the reels. However I wasn’t sure how they go from there to actually determing what the player won. So I asked a former slot machine mathematician, who asked not to be identified, about this one. Here is what he said, 'Your first idea is correct. The position on each reel strip is independently selected via the RNG. The code then examines the symbols along each bet-upon payline to determine winning outcomes. Scatter awards could also be determined this way. ALL of the major video-based slot manufacturers do it this way. You could view the algorithm as a big series if-then-else’s but actual implementation might be a bit more eligant.' I hope that helps.
