Answer 1

Your standard 3 wheel slot machine carries the odds of 8 million to 1 of you hitting the jackpot. The house edge for the casino starts at 15% in the houses favor. If you play multiline machines with more wheels, then the odds increase dramatically. If you want a good chance for your money, I would play any of the Double Diamond machines. They have an excellent track record all across the country for hitting consistently.
If you want a greater chance for your gambling dollar, then I would recomend either Jacks or Better Video Poker or Black Jack. These games have about a 1.5% house edge. And if you play with expert strategy then you can cut down the edge to about .800%. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

For the reel machines (the machines with the 3 spinning reels not the video screens), they are programmed to hit every combination at least once every million spins. They can hit a combo more than once per million spins but they must hit every combo at least once. Not every combo will be a paying combo to the player. Even a combo that pays you nothing the machine sees as one of the combos it must roll at least once every million spins. If you look inside the machine to the right of the 3rd reel you will see three counters. The counter on top is Coin In (the amount of money inserted into the machine), the middle counter is Coin Out (the amount of money paid out excluding hand paid jackpots of $1200.00 or more), and the bottom counter is Drop. A good rule of thumb is if the Coin Out counter is a higher value than the Coin In counter the machine hits often. Keep in mind however that you will not know if the counter has rolled over and started new. The machines with a video screen are individually programmed for hit ratio based on performance, location, and prior success. The brand new machines are programmed to hit more often to attract people to them so if you see a brand new bank of machines try those out. The machines that "claim" a 100% return rate are doing so over the 1 million spins so don't let that false advertising fool you. Your best bet for success on a machine is a video poker machine. As always if you play slots always play max bet.
