Slot Machine Odds
Due to their popularity, slot machines outnumber any other game at the casino and also draw in the most amount of money. In fact, so much profit is made from slot machines alone that they are part of the reason why casinos are able to offer other games that have an extremely low house edge - and sometimes even none at all!
Knowing that there are some good deals out there, why not take advantage of them? As the tips page already suggests, getting on the right machine is the most important factor contributing to your success. Although the all slots may look similar on the outside, it takes a closer look to notice the little things that set them apart particularly the payout table. The higher the payout percentage is, the better your odds of winning.
Because higher denomination slots require a larger bankroll, they usually offer better slot machine odds. Since more money is being spent playing these, paying back at a higher rate still leaves the casino with a substantial profit. The most common payout rates are 90% for nickel machines, 93% for quarter machines and 95% for dollar machines. Then, the higher the denomination, the better the payout, just make sure to check the tables first before you sit down; there are still some exceptions to the rule.
The following table shows the estimated bankroll needed per hour, in order to play a three-coin maximum bet with ten spins per minute.

The one and only way to keep your slot machine odds at a good level is not leave everything up to chance. I mean, obviously a certain amount of luck is needed to win, but choosing you machine according to the denomination and payout table is the right way to go.
