it explains why you can pour three or four hundred dollars or more into a machine without getting a bonus round or other triggering event or even a well-paying spin.
but now that i've actually verified the 85% payback, it explains a lot. When the payback was a mystery, i could kid myself into thinking it was an 89% machine and i had half a chance at winning every now and again while playing penny slots. why would i play a penny slot with 85% payback when i could play three or four of the VP games i'm well versed in and get 98% or better theoretical payback? but something about seeing it right there on the screen as plain as day was sobering. that the quality of play would be so bad that nobody would possibly play them.Īt least i WAS. my operating theory was that players would deem the machines "unplayable" if the payback were set lower than that. frankly, i used to guesstimate that most penny slots were set at something between 87% and 89%. the payback on EVERY machine was 85.5%, just a little above the state minimum. I recently had the opportunity to view the diagnostic screens of six penny slots at CZR properties. the payback is likely to be significantly higher, even if the game is not nearly as entertaining. and beyond that, if you're already max betting on a penny machine, consider stepping it up by by finding an old school 1-line, 2-coin dollar machine. barring that, play older penny machines that likely have higher payback, if you can still find them on the floor. My best advice is to play video poker, which can have payback as high as 99.54% (using proper strategy). that being said, harrah's reported the loosest penny and two penny slots in 2011. your specific question can't really be answered because stats show combined figures for penny and 2 cent slots. I don't think you'll find a significant difference, comparing one casino to the next, at least nothing that you would notice during your short term results of playing for a day or a weekend. and i have no reason to believe that any casino putting new penny slot machines on the gaming floor is ordering those machines with anything but chips set at or near that minimum payback percentage. Minimum payback in the state of new jersey is 83%.
