As most of us know Software providers for online casinos basically “Run the Show” for the casinos that use their software. When you are online at a casino and playing online slot machines what you are looking at is produced and served by the Software companies wherever they might be located. The casinos normally are in another country. The casino handles information on their casino web site. The online casino handles customer service as well. Fast or slow payments and their restrictions are a policy of the casino. Not the Software provider in most cases. A few of the lower quality software providers have 3 options for their online slot machine games. These are provided to their casinos that they are contracted with. These options have different Payout g. This means when one is changed you have a better or worse chance of winning. This information I thought is interesting so I thought I would share this knowledge with my readers.
The online casino software providers accomplish the three different payout not by changing the RNG (Random Number Generators) algorithms. What they change is the number of symbols on the reels. So you may go to different casinos that offer the same software and see different reels on the same slot machine game. The change is practically unnoticeable. The sequence of the symbols is “almost” the same. But there are slight differences. These differences would take a lot of time to notice. You would need to take a video and then study the film and map out the symbols. It would take an expert a full day to accomplish this.

How they accomplish the different RTP (Return To Player) for a 3 reel online casino slot machine game is something like the following. Let’s say reel 2 has just 1 wild symbol on it. Obviously if this shows in the window you have a better chance of winning. Suppose for the highest return variation, reel 2 has 30 symbols. The chance of getting the Wild to show is 1 in 10 (3 positions in 30). If they added 3 lesser symbols, the chance of getting a Wild would be 1 in 11. If they added 6 lesser symbols, the chance of getting a Wild would be 1 in 12. It is as simple as that.
Another example:
Suppose you need 3 scatters on reels 1, 2 & 3 for a feature, and there s only 1 scatter per reel. If there were 30 symbols per reel, the chance of hitting 3 scatters is 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 = 1 in 1000. With 33 symbols per reel it would be 11 x 11 x 11 = 1 in 1,331. With 36 symbols per reel it would be 12 x 12 x 12 = 1 in 1,728. That s a very large reduction in your chance of getting the feature just by adding a few symbols to the reels.
But don’t be alarmed. Most online casino software providers do not give this option to their affiliate online casinos. But it is just one more reason you need to find a Gambling Portal Web Site that you trust. Find a site that you have used before and read up as much as possible about the casinos you are going to be investing your leisure cash with. When you have played on casinos you have been guided to that pay your winnings fat. It is a good sign that that casino is also happy with a normal profit and is not squeezing their players. So find a proven online gambling web portal site for good information, choose an online casino and have fun.
