Excerpt of Chapter 1

Basic or Straight Slots: the vanguard of the casino and the biggest-money maker. Basic slots are still the top choice, although watch out for Bonus slots along with Progressives: a real casino horse race! Basic or Straight slots have a constant top jackpot payout that does not change no matter how much the machine is played. They also have an unchanging payback percentage rate. Straight slots tend to give smaller wins to keep you in business and extend your playing time.

The outside of basic machines have standard features, but few people know what goes on inside. That’s where the computerized random number generator, or RNG, resides. The RNG randomly selects hundreds of numbers every second. Each number corresponds to a certain symbol combination that will appear if the machine is played at that precise moment. The RNG works even when the machine is idle. So, if no one is playing when the RNG selects a winning combination—let’s say at 5:26 a.m. on October 6—then that winning combination passes without notice. Your timing has to be correct down to the last millisecond to catch the machine when its RNG comes up with a winner. Also, the RNG does not remember what it has done in the past. So it could pay off again quickly. Therefore, after any jackpot win, try three more pulls. If you get nothing in return, move on and congratulate yourself on the big win.

Let’s take a look at the terms loose and tight slots. Slot machines generally have paybacks between 92 and 98.5% at major gambling meccas: Nevada, Atlantic City, Foxwoods and Mississippi state where competition ups the payout percentages. 80% maximums are common outside these meccas, particularly Indian gaming casinos and Riverboats. Slots with higher payout probabilities (percentage rates) are called loose. On the other hand, tight slots have lower payout % probabilities. A machine will pay a couple of coins on a certain symbol combination, such as two or three cherries. If these cherries replace a couple of lemons or a symbol that doesn’t pay, presto—you have a loose machine. In a tight slot, the reverse is true. In other words, the more paying symbols a slot machine has, the greater the probability of payouts.

When Pennsylvania's 14 slot machine parlors eventually open, no issue is going to be more important to the citizens of this state than law enforcement.

The Associated Press 
To Neil Murray, the issue is simple - slot machines, the classic one-armed bandits that have been the backbone of casinos in Nevada, New Jersey, Connecticut and elsewhere, are indistinguishable from VLTs. To identify differences is a "classic exercise" in semantics, Murray said.
The confusion between VLTs and slot machines arises as manufacturers intentionally give VLTs the look and feel of slot machines.

Dillon McNuggets Gamble Tribune
Certain slot machines have more than one "pay line", which allows players to play multiple coins to increase their odds of winning on a pull. For example, a three line machine would have a center, top and bottom payout line for symbols to line up on. By wagering three coins to play all three lines as opposed to one, a player would win on any one of the three lines if the symbols lined up according to the pay chart.

Slots History 12.12.2002
Maurice Blanchard Gamble Tribune
Charles Fey invented the first slot machine way back in 1895. He went on to perfect his initial innovation in 1907, when he teamed with Mills Novelty Company who manufactured the "Mills Liberty Bell." The Liberty Bell featured a cast iron case and originally had cast iron feet with toes. In later models the toes were scrapped and replaced with ornate decorated feet.
