We’ve listed a few myths and truths... can you think of any more?

Myth: People pour holy water into slot machines for good luck and now the slot machines are breaking down because the computer chip is getting rusty.

Truth: People aren’t pouring any kind of water into the slots and even if they did, the aluminium working of the game wouldn’t get damaged. This myth probably came about because slot machines would jam from time to time due to the lack of technology and their unreliable nature, and the people who are using these where probably with a drink in hand, and sometimes spilling a drop or two.

Myth: In a private room above the slots there is a person deciding on who should win the next jackpot or not.
Truth: All the slot machines operate independently with Random Number Generators and with no influence from casino staff or any other mystical interference.

Myth: To stand a chance of hitting the jackpot, gamblers should avoid playing machines which have paid out.
Truth: All machines operate on a random basis and have no historical influence. A machine does not ‘remember’ when it last paid out, there could be an absence of no payout for two months, and then there are two pay outs in just one day.

Myth: Don't put one token in a slot machine and move on, because that will disrupt the rhythm of the machine.
Truth: Slot machines have no rhythm. Believing this myth would be the same as believing that you can influence the length of a Disneyland ride depending on how you stand in line.

Myth: Someone has just hit the jackpot on the machine you were playing on. You would have won if you kept on playing on the same machine a little longer.

Truth: Slot machines have a computer chip that does the random number generations. This is continuously working even if there is noone playing on the machine. When you hit the button or the handle, the machine picks the combination at that particular point in time, so the odds that you would have hit the machine at the exact nano-second as the person who hit the jackpot are highly unlikely. Your good luck might be in the minute you spent at the bar or talking to your friends … you never know!
