The Hard Truth About Casino SLOT MACHINES

About the work of the Jammin Jars slot from Push Gaming (8x8 in which there are no reels)

---

Push Gamings response:

To understand what has happened in the above video you will need to understand how the game is designed. So here's some background information on Jammin' Jars.

The game does work by randomly picking a win/loss from an extensive pool of results, as picked up and explained by some of the members here. The wins are represented through cascading symbols, the random giant fruits feature and multiplying wilds, rather than traditional spinning reels. This makes the win sequences very long and therefore makes the game extremely complex mathematically.

The nature and complexity of creating a well-balanced model for this game, while making it enjoyable for players using a typical video slot method is extremely difficult (we would argue impossible). We do not use this method in our reel based video slots.

As the results are selected from a pool of results, what happened on the two streams was highly unlikely as there is a huge amount of possible results for each winning category across the base and bonus rounds, in this case, 1,600x in the base game. The game is certified by a third party (eCOGRA) and runs on a 96.83% RTP.

As the video shows two of exactly the same result, which is incredibly unlikely to happen (1 in circa 1.3 million), we understand the suspicions, but as was suggested by some members in this thread we have not and cannot give anyone a result to play through.

I'm shocked when zombie people sit in earthly stables and spin old scripts "Book of Ra", "Pyramids" or "Crazy Monkeys" for hours = they have no idea what modern online casinos and modern slot machines are...

+ on the ground you can easily get into 1-2 weeks of "vacuum cleaner", when the owner of the hall stupidly cuts off the return of all games at normal rates...

From the category - "And let it all be a conspiracy theory" - but nevertheless. Something, somewhere in all this is wrong. And we will never know - what and where. Let's take this fucking slot. I spun tens if not hundreds of thousands of spins in it in my time, until I realized that the slot is just finished and will never pour out anything sensible in it. Yesterday I played a tournament on Everum with candy wrappers and ... I was completely shocked! Just a spin (not a bonus), I have never seen such a thing with real money from others and have never caught it myself. But here, the game is with candy wrappers, why not pour out? Well, you involuntarily ask yourself - how is that possible? With candy wrappers from the 12th spin such beauty, with real money - an over of up to x№ya thousand spins, I have never caught anything like that. How is that possible? Now tell me that the slot doesn't understand that the game is going on for free and you can throw a bunch of credits at any whore, but you'll go in with your own money and that's it, fuck, it'll freeze you to zero.

PS and I'm not talking about the multiplication from the bet (otherwise they'll start now...), I'm talking about exhausts, about pictures - 17 wilds out of 20 possible, I've never seen anything like that in this slot. In general, nine out of ten gift free spins, deposit bonuses, etc. are always poured in for me. It feels like the slot at this point "understands" that these are free free spins and the player needs to be covered up. How can this be explained if we immediately dismiss artificial intelligence? Meanwhile, somehow the provider configures its slots to understand when it's time to give up, and when that's it, the game has gone to the client's money and you can start eating. All this RTP and non-interference in algorithms immediately go to hell.

The days when slot machines were just ribbons of symbols stretched across reels are long gone...
It is not enough for a casino to have a mathematically predicted income of -10%. Back in those distant times, when chrome slot machines were placed on the ground in the halls, greedy directors invited technicians and they reflashed the boards for $50 = changed the return to 80-60-50-40%.
With computer rooms and scripted gaming platforms, everything has become much easier = in the admin panel there is a section where game banks, frequency of bonus games, winning limits, etc. parameters are configured for games.

But even this is not enough for the casino))))
I have repeatedly noticed that modern slots track the behavioral reactions of players, have scenario solutions and conduct complex psychological processing of a person .

The goal is simple = to lure and zip up.

Clasp = a special psychological state, an obsessive state, when, contrary to the facts, the player, under the influence of highly inflated greed and hope, cannot stop the game and continues to lose one deposit after another.

The most important parameter of the slot you will not find in any documentation. Although it is quite difficult to measure, this indicator is the main one.

Addiction is the degree of force (speed) with which a slot gets a person hooked on the game, and the strength of withdrawal symptoms that a problem player experiences when he tries to get off that same slot.

It is no secret that slot developers employ specialists in gambling addiction, but with a completely opposite goal. Their task is not to help the player, but, on the contrary, to involve him more closely in the game process.

“Mathematics is the tip, the sharpest part of the needle,” says game designer Nicholas Koenig with a smile, implying that the hidden mathematical programming of slot machines was crucial to “catching” players. And yet, while math functions as an attraction factor, it also functions as a retention element. That is the hook.

- Once you have hooked players, you have to squeeze money out of them until you have squeezed everything out of them. Once a player has taken the bait, the job of a good slot is to not let go until the player is completely gutted.

Switching to a less aggressive metaphor, he talked about the mathematical model as a soft web. “It’s like the player is leaning back on the mathematical model like a chair, and you want it to be comfortable, they are investing a lot of money into a slot that they have never seen before, and they need to feel like they can trust it. The slot needs to convey that trust through rewards, subconsciously building a trusting relationship between it and the player.”

The player must feel on a subconscious level that the slot is his first, most important and loyal friend, and not a mechanism for taking money. The only one who can give you x1000, just like that, just because it (the slot) loves and respects you - adds one consultant of the company developing gambling software, a former doctor who treated gambling addicts, and now for the sake of money has become on the other side of the barricades.

“The idea is to attract players by making them believe that they can feel the math of the slot,” says the chief technology officer of IGT (International Gaming Machines, one of the world’s largest slot manufacturers).

“Mathematics is what keeps players coming back again and again,” says Markus Prater, a top manager at Bally, during our interview.

To achieve this, major software developers maintain special departments of mathematicians who analyze the reactions of different types of players to different frequencies and dispersions of slot payouts, and build special mathematical models based on this data, which then form the basis of programs for the latest slot machines.

The tasks of slot mathematics are multifaceted, say the developers. Slot mathematics is not only a mathematical advantage of the casino over the player. Any casino game has the latter. Correct slot mathematics is also a tool for retaining players, this is the very formula that does not allow the player to move away from the slot for a second. This is what keeps the player on an invisible leash.

Modern slot machines do not simply take and give away winnings. They remember any action of the player in a particular game situation. Later, this data is studied by the mathematical departments of slot software manufacturers. Based on this, mathematical models are created. Based on mathematical models, the most effective slot programs are developed, designed to always keep the player in the game.

At the same time, as one of the top managers of the Aristocrat company (one of the world leaders in slot development) claims, players develop a certain immunity to new slot machines. As a result, software developers are forced, as they say, to constantly “increase the dose”, increasingly complicating the mathematical algorithms of modern slot machines.

At one time I was involved in installing offline machines, and then terminals. I can say that Novomatics, at least offline ones, have real randomness. On test stands, we spun many thousands of spins, sometimes a machine with zero counters would immediately spit out half a million (something around x2500, if memory serves) almost from the 10-20th spin, and sometimes it would gobble up and show a return of 10% for several thousand spins.
That's why I like offline Novomatic, which can really GIVE you pure luck no matter what. It's a pity that now the nearest place where you can play them is Belarus.
What we have in underground casinos is 10 times remade home-made crap, where the only original games are pictures and sound.
By the way, somewhere there are still an emulator and game dumps, you can run them on your computer and everything will be exactly the same as in the original device, with an engineering menu, statistics, etc.

The main secret of slot machines is the mathematics of putty! You are given a taste of easy money and then they take it back and 10 times the same amount on top.

There is a lot of information here on the CMP forum. But in slot machines, it all comes down to winning a lot when they give you money, and losing little when they gobble you up. Otherwise, you can't win. There are no magic combinations of buttons to trigger a bonus game!
