Jackpot Express
Jackpot Express is a five payline, three reel and five coin slot machine. This means that you have up to five ways of winning! For every coin that you put in, you enable another payline. When the reels stop, the computer checks the combinations of symbols along each enabled payline. You are paid out for every winning combination on any enabled payline. The Jackpot Express symbol, the Gold Truck, is wild and will complete any winning combination in which it appears. The maximum payout in Jackpot Express is 5,000 coins. Slot Machines
If you walk into just about any casino the game that dominates most of the floor space is Slots. There is a good reason for this: Slots make up about 60–65% of a casino’s total revenue. Billions of dollars flow through these machines each year. Because of their popularity, slot machines come in a wide variety of denominations and a wide variety of styles. The original Slot Machine, the “Liberty Bell”, was built by Charles Fey in San Francisco at the end of the 19th century. It’s been a little more than 100 years and now Slots come in hundreds of variations and many are run by a computer board with the output displayed on a video screen. All Slot machines are not created equally. Lower denomination machines usually have a lower payout percentage. It costs just as much to buy and maintain a $.05 Slot Machine as it does to buy and maintain a $0.25 Slot Machine. Casinos usually adjust for this by having a lower percentage payout for the $.05 Slot Machine. Regulatory bodies set the minimum percentage payback for Slot Machines. The current minimum in Nevada is 75% and the current minimum in Atlantic City is 83%. Because of competition, most slots have a much higher payback. Going for a Jackpot
Each reel has at least one jackpot symbol, and to win a jackpot you must get each reel to stop on this jackpot symbol. For a 20 stop, three-reel machine with one jackpot symbol per reel, the odds of lining up all three jackpot symbols are 20 x 20 x 20, or 8000 to 1. Some machines have more than one jackpot symbol per reel, which improves the odds of hitting a jackpot, but the payout for a jackpot on these machines will usually be lower. |
