Probabilities

There might be an easier way!
Set "quick spin" to OFF, and use a video camera to record the spin and then do a frame by frame analysis.The symbols are from the blurred set, but it should still be possible to make them out.

I will have a go at this method when I have a little time on my hands.

It would be interesting to know what the theoretical best slots are, or whether they are all the same.
Non feature slots should be the easiest to work out.

im pretty sure that the spin is just a graphic, and that the reels are not actually spinning - the outcome has already been decided as soon as the spin button has been pressed

unless you can prove otherwise vinylweatherman

KK - Sounds like fun. I always wanted to integrate this into a DB hooked up to the Slot Junkies tournies but it seemed like an awful lot of work. Just doing Tstruck took a while, plus you'd want to make it "graphic" which adds time.

Maybe one for a later date - or a slow build - a huuuge project i reckon.

C'mon Simmo let us in on the reels

LOL. I would if i could, but it was in a spreadsheet on my PC that died back in December Sorry.

If the reels have 30 symbols and with 5 reels, there would be 24.3M combinations. This would certainly be possible for a computer program to
analyse within reasonable time (probably some hours).

I would be able to program it in Java if I have the time for it. I guess it could be done in 10-30 hours including testing. Nothing fancy with applets or any graphics. Someone just need to post the reels for various slots.

Yey! I got my math right on that one That's encouraging. Great zoozie, now we need someone with time on their hands to analyse the reels. I'd volunteer but first I need a vacation... no chance right now. Anyone? Just try and analyse the first reel for starters. It shouldn't take that long actually. Just make a note of the 3 symbols after each spin and eventually the pattern will emerge.

Time, that's the problem. Everybody's so busy. I haven't even had time to play at all. I'm compensating by reading the forum frequently and posting, that only takes 5 minutes at a time, easy to do while working and a nice distraction

I have time to do this if someone tells me how so it can be useful. I play the slots anyway and could write down each spin

Great! I don't know any special techniques, but I guess what you've got to do is just write down the 3 symbols that you get on the reel with each spin. There are only 30 possible positions for each reel so it shouldn't take too long to see the pattern from your notes. I'm assuming there's only 1 Thor and 1 Ram per reel - that should help decipher it. (I'm not absolutely sure about this though)

Or, if you don't feel like analyzing your results, you could just post your notes here in this thread (e.g. TAK, HKJ, 9TA, RHL, CQS, AK1) etc, where T=Thor, H=Hammer, R=Ram, C=Castle, S=Staff, A=Ace, etc.) and once we get enough groups of 3 symbols, anyone can do it from the data posted on the forum. Remember to mention which reel is in question.

In fact, let me just invite everyone to make a note of say 50 spins and post the results here for each reel, and pretty soon we'll have enough data here to do the analysis. This way we can divide the workload.

Cheers,
SM

You could also just use 'Playcheck'.
