How can I find out the payout percentage of a slot machine?

[Mike_25]

The true payout percentage of a slot machine is closely guarded information. But you can estimate it yourself by playing an adequate sample size of spins. Start by playing at the lowest bet for an hour while counting your wins and losses. Then divide your total winnings by the total amount wagered to calculate the percentage returned. For a more precise estimate, repeat this process over multiple sessions totalling at least 10,000 spins. The more data you collect, the closer your estimate will come to the true payout rate. But do it fast, before the casino suspects you're onto their secrets!

Some players use their own play testing to determine payment percentages. They can do this by keeping track of their own performance over an extended period of time, including the money wagered and the earnings collected.

Remember that slot machines are designed as games of chance, and the results are determined by random number generators (RNGs). Each spin is independent, and the machine's past performance or payout percentages do not influence future outcomes.

In some jurisdictions, gaming regulators require casinos to report the average payout percentages or hold percentages for their slot machines. You can visit the website of the regulatory authority governing the particular jurisdiction where the casino is located and check if they provide such information. Keep in mind that this data is usually reported at an aggregate level and not specific to individual machines.

The payout percentage of a slot machine is typically listed in the machine's documentation or on the manufacturer's website. You can also check the machine's paytable or ask the casino staff for more information. For example, a machine with a 95% payout percentage may pay out $95 for every $100 wagered, but that doesn't mean you'll win $95 each time you play.
