You can see the order of symbols on each wheel and calculate the odds of winning much like counting cards.

Well, why is the fact that pesky RNG generating random numbers? When you press play, the program picks the latest "set" of numbers generated. Each number in the "set" is just one of the symbols on the reels. If you have three reels, you get three numbers within the set. Because of this, when those virtual wheels spin, the RNG has already calculated where the reels are going to stop.

It would be so convenient for you if you can see the result of one spin and after that calculate the odds of the next spin going over the same spinning sequence a given number of rotations to pick the next symbol on the reel. Yet, as in the real-world roulette table where the croupier picks up the ball and starts the wheel spinning again, there is absolutely no fixed sequence between slot machine spins. During all those seconds you paused between each play, the machine has calculated hundreds if not thousands of spins and virtual stops. That suggests that there are literally millions of possible combinations readily available for you to win or lose every minute. That is how these casino slots can generate a big enough margin to pay out the a couple of really big jackpots.

You have been playing the on-line slot machine without winning big for a while - a jackpot is coming!

If only life were so certain! When you will now have realized, every spin of the virtual wheel is random. The RNG ensures that every spin is completely unrelated to the last spin (unless you can press play every 1/1000 of a second, that's). So whether you have had one spin or possibly a thousand (without winning big? surely not!), you've got the exact same chance of hitting a winning combination. It's entirely possible that one machine out of hundreds might go a month before it pays out a jackpot (and also you were so lucky as to start playing that slots machine). But it's statistically unlikely that you're going to be so unlucky as never to win at all on a machine. That a machine doesn't pay out a jackpot isn't going to mean that it will not pay out its usual number of smaller wins.

Myths are wonderful things with a life of their very own. It's a shame that many of them are untrue. Although I did hear the additional day about someone playing a fantastic slot machine and, when he felt inside to pick up his winnings, he pulled out. . . Well, let's say it was not a body part! So play your luck against that RNG. Someday, the world of math will come to an end and also you want to be playing a machine when that happens and win the jackpot every time you press play.
