When playing at a casino or online, you will often see machines set with various denominations. Understanding this difference is important because it could have an effect on your results – for instance if switching from quarters to nickels results in hitting a royal flush or eight-out-of-eight before long and only earning one fifth of what would have been earned at higher denominations?
Conventional slot wisdom states that lower denomination machines offer worse odds. This statement holds true with single denomination machines; multi-denomination games present greater variance depending on a variety of factors such as overall payback percentage and their location within a casino – tourist spots like Fremont Street tend to offer tighter slots than North Las Vegas and Boulder casinos, according to statistics reported to the Nevada Gaming Commission.
However, it can also depend on the game you’re playing. Video poker and keno both utilize different programs when playing at different denominations, which will have different results. You’ll usually be able to see when this program changes by viewing the last play result onscreen; for video poker this would show cards dealt, while with keno it will show some numbers drawn.
Reel stripping on multi-denomination machines could change when the denomination changes; however, this would violate gambling rules because each machine contains only one Random Number Generator which cannot be adjusted based on coins, club cards, waitress tips or time of day/night conditions. While knowing this detail might seem irrelevant when trying your luck at slot machines, understanding it can make all the difference when winning big at the slots!
