Exactly, there are (usually) 22 stops on a reel, a real reel, but video can have 100 stops; this includes the blank spaces.
If you're curious just search for "PAR sheet" or "payable and reel sheet".
- joezydeco 15y agoA virtual reel can have thousands of stops. 99% of those can map to the same physical space. That's the magic of Telnaes. A typical PAR sheet is mentioned in the study two leaps above, but that's just reverse-engineering the math. Understanding virtual reels helps look at it from the designer's direction. The invention of "bonus games" that play when a certain reel combination was hit also changed the math drastically. A lot of companies that were locked out of virtual reels by IGT's ownership of the Telnaes patent used this technique to offer similar payout structures.
- dhughes 15y agoThat's probably true I'm just going by memory and what we have. IGT seems to own all, it's like you can't touch a thing without IGT being involved. I've even heard stories of potential new IGT employees being asked if they have any invention ideas, if they do IGT will but them.
