A lot has been written about the honesty of land-based slot machines. An excellent article by Steve Bourie is titled, "Are Slot Machines Honest?" and  [[https://vspmscop.edu.in/LRM/profile/thomashunley/|click]] originally appeared in the 1999 American Casino Guide. (It can be found online by searching for the title in Google or Yahoo!.) Physical, land-based slot machines have a whole lot of "variations" (being polite) than can deceive the player. Bear in mind, they're all illegal and don't happen. But read the article, closely.

In contrast, online casino slots use an electronic "random number generator" or RNG, operating inside a very large computer program that manages the game graphics, the player accounts of folks that join the game, the statistics of every hand played, and much more. The random number generator is hard-coded software instructions that do not change. There is no "sense switch" (see the Bourie article) that will be flipped to give players worse odds. Regarding control parameters, each use of the RNG is equivalent to the very last use, and also will be the same as the next use. The numbers will come out randomly, although the pattern of randomness never changes. This is a true benefit from software-based online casino slots.

Land-based slot machines can also have payout percentages as little as 83%, which just isn't true with online casino slots. In online gaming, each machine has the exact same winning percentage as another machines. You may see the payout percentages for many online gaming sites, and you shall see which it rarely drops below 95% - that is, the house makes a 5% profit, on the common. The truth is, most casinos can document that their payout percentages will be in the 97% - 98% range. Consequently you may spend per hour, gamble your $100 stake about three times, and on a typical it will cost you $7.50. But players do not gamble to be average: the true reward is the high-paying win. As well as the high-paying win is balanced, simply, by a range of players who lose and finance that win.

So are online casino slots fair? Yes, they clearly are. The software that operates the games is tested regularly by independent testing laboratories (look for logos at the bottom of the casino website), and no game is individually controllable to be biased. That is a far cry from the specific situation with land-based slot machines, appropriately called "one-armed bandits".

Players get better odds, they get absolute consistency across all games - but no one can guarantee a win every time. That's just the nature of gambling, and that is included in the thrill.
