Waiting for a jackpot to increase your odds of winning doesn't affect the likelihood of hitting the jackpot. Slot machines with progressive jackpots or fixed payouts are still governed by random number generators (RNGs), meaning each spin is independent. The odds of winning are the same every time you play, regardless of whether you’ve waited for the jackpot to grow. The jackpot may be larger, but the probability of winning remains unchanged.
 
That's absolutely correct. It's a common misconception that waiting for a jackpot to increase somehow improves your odds of winning. Each spin on a slot machine is an independent event, and the outcome is determined by a random number generator (RNG). This means that the odds of hitting the jackpot are the same on every spin, regardless of the jackpot size.

So, while it can be exciting to see a jackpot grow larger, it doesn't actually change the likelihood of winning. It's always important to remember that slot machines are designed to be random and luck-based games, so there's no strategy or timing that can guarantee a win. It's all about enjoying the game and knowing that each spin is entirely random.
