There is no difference between an older style mechanical slot machine compared to a modern day electrical slot machine in terms of odds. Both offer exactly the same. It is a myth that pulling the handle is better than pressing the button. However, electronic machines offer higher payouts, greater variation in games, more pay lines and more reels.

NO! There is no system to overcome the house edge on slot machine. The longer you play, the more money you will lose. Only play slot machines for fun.

Do slot machines have ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ cycles?
Again… NO! In case it is still not clear, every spin is random. There is no set pattern. If it seems that a particular machine is paying out more at a particular time, it is simply because you are being lucky with the random numbers.

Do some symbols have a greater chance of being spun than others?
Yes. It is on this basis that the odds are calculated.
