That is, if you land on three cherries, you should be able to verify you got the right amount of money. But you don't know the percentage chance of landing on three cherries.
- somenameforme 3y agoAbsolutely. The difference I'm referring to is that video poker games must be dealt as if the cards were coming from a fair deck, so the odds of each event happening can be determined relatively easily given a fixed strategy, and consequently so can you exact expected profit/loss per hand, and when a machine can be profitable to play. That the same is not true in slots is the thing that I missed. That a triple cherry pays 100 to 1 or whatever is meaningless if you have no way of knowing the odds of a triple cherry.
