>You can calculate the theoretical return and the variance of the slot.<
Ok so thats if you dont play slots right so you know.
So theres no advantage to slots play and winning.
The advantage is in knowing the quality of the game. If you can know that slot A returns 90% and slot B returns 96%, it makes slot B better value in the long term.
Any strategy with online casinos tends to involve promotions running alongside gameplay. Factoring in promotions can increase the long term payout, and where the maths shows the combined expected payout to me greater than 100%, the package becomes "+EV", a term seen on many bonus whoring sites to describe a good bonus.
This applies to slots, but does not, however, apply to "Fruit Machines" where the result of the current spin depends in some way on the spin(s) taken before, and/or player choices.
MG casinos offer an increasing number of "Fruit Machines", and these are certainly not "random" in the same sense as their slots, but seem to work on the "pot" principle of some UK Fruit Machines.
Last night, as an experiment in "fun mode", I successfully "forced" the new one "Treasure Ireland" into giving the feature "Treasure Ireland", which was the Jackpot, plus repeat chance of any win. I had more than a dozen repeats that gave a total well in excess of 1000x bet.
As I continued the "force", it became clear that the results of each feature game were influenced by my decision to turn down all wins except the top one in previous feature games, this is NOT RANDOM BEHAVIOUR.
What I do not know, is whether this is a "personal pot" that is built up on my account alone, or a "general pot" that builds from the gameplay of ALL players playing the game on the MG network.
Whatever way this operates, the game itself, at least the feature game, is NOT "random", and a number of Fruitie style methods and exploits spring to mind
