Don’t lose your head on slot machines
Yes, here the main struggle is a struggle with yourself. Both federal and local authorities fairly battled to “one-armed gangsters” practically at once as they have appeared. But gambling passion is insuperable, and counter units have soon captivated all restaurants, bars, shops, stations and even drugstores. However, owners of automatic machines had to dodge to bypass laws which forbade putting slot machines. But here someone’s lucid mind modified them in the automatic machine for cud sale. To standard to “freedom Ring” they have added such a device which is giving out each wishing packing of chewing gum in exchange for 5-or 10-cent coin. And having turned the handle, the buyer could receive a prize if there was a certain combination of pictures on rotating drums. On disks there were pictures of fruit - plum, lemon, orange, cherry, mint which corresponded to the most widespread tastes of chewing gums - and labels - BAR. The maximum prize dropped out now on a combination of three labels, and the hand bell has moved in the prize-list on the second line. Such automatic machines named fruit-machines, and all these pictures (in 1937 to them water-melon has been added) decorate till now drums of slot machines. If lemon drops out, means, you have lost, three oranges give you 10 coins, and three labels BAR - means, you have caught jackpot.
Is it possible to beat the online slot machine? Basically chances of the player to throw out the necessary combination are small enough. But the automatic machine should program so that it should return to the player any certain sum. For example, the order of Gosstandart of the Russian Federation has been introduced into Russia on January, 24th 2000 ¹ 22 “About acceptance of Rules of carrying out of tests of slot machines with winnings for the purpose of the statement of type and the control over their conformity to the confirmed type” which established, that technologically put in pawn percent of the refund should make not below 75 percent in favour of the player. But any automatic machine brings the income, let even it has been programmed on returning to the player of 80-90 % of the sum.
Skilled slot machines players advise the following. If you all the same have decided to try good luck against “the one armed bandit“, first, develop at first the action plan. Think over all: where you will play, how, how much money you are going to spend for counters, what prize you expect. You should also take into account slot-automatic machine type, and also game experience if you have it. Sticking to the plan will help you to control yourself and to stop in time, if you understand that today you are not lucky. Secondly, play only one automatic machine; do not work as “multimachine operator”. Your prize will not grow, and you will lose concentration and forget, how many counters you have already lost, and how many you have won. Thirdly, think it over how many courses you have already made. It will help you to conduct statistics, how much often there are advantageous combinations. At last, do not try to win all the money. The majority of the large-sum-winners continue to play, hoping, that having caught the luck once, they will soon be lucky again. As a rule, such expectations are not justified, and players just waste all the money. Do not lose your head.
