Slots games odds
No matter what symbols you see on the reels of the slot machine you are playing, the only thing that matter is how many symbols there are on each reel. And how many reels there are in the machine. The less reels there are and less symbol on each, the higher is the probability of your win.
Let's take that you have to get three lemons in the payline to hit the jackpot. Taking the case that you are playing a 3-reel slot machine and there are 18 symbols on each reel, the chances of you winning are:
All possible combinations in the machine: 18 x 18 x 18 = 5,832
The probability of hitting the jackpot: 1/5,832 (1 in 5,832)
When playing a 5-reel slots game with the same number of symbols per reel a simple math calculation shows that your chances of hitting the jackpot are:
1/ (18 x 18 x 18 x 18 x 18) = 1,889,568 ( 1 in 1,889,568 )
As you can see, the chance of winning dramatically decreases by having just two additional reels in the machine. Sometimes, the more reels the machine has, the higher is the jackpot. Yes, it may be quite thrilling but be sure to do the math first and see what are your chances with each slot machine. |
