There are innumerable types of casino games which a gaming enthusiast can play online or offline. Slot machine games are undoubtedly the most popular of all casino slots. They are also perhaps the most misunderstood. There are many myths associated with slots. It is important to note that slot casino slots have changed dramatically over the past few years.

If you are a regular casino slot player, you must be aware that all slots have a random number generator or RNG regardless of its type. One common misconception about such machines is that all combinations have an equal chance of hitting the jackpot. What is not known to a majority of gamers is that all slots are programmed to reflect a certain number of winning combinations and losing combinations. Good old commonsense would tell us that there will be more losing than winning combinations because of obvious business reasons.

Many players believe that a near miss situation indicates that the jackpot is just around the corner. This is another big myth. It is nothing but a deliberate tactic to ensure that you keep playing in search of that elusive magical combination. These near-miss combinations are programmed to create that feeling that you are close to winning and ensure that you do not leave the slot early. In reality, a near miss hardly means anything in a casino parlance. Your previous spin is completely unconnected to your current or next.

If you are a regular slot player, you will agree that a vast majority of players feel that once a jackpot is hit, it is impossible for the feat to be repeated again for some time. This once again is totally untrue. The same logic of your last spin having nothing to do with your current spin applies here too. Each spin on a slot is a fresh game and it is entirely possible to hit a jackpot on successive spins. There are many examples of such incidents happening in both online and offline slots.
