Believe it or not, slot machine makers will try to convince you of certain myths to keep you hooked on their games. However, they are not hard to figure out once you become seasoned in the practice of slot machine gaming. In this article we will explain some of those myths, because they are extremely popular and we are certain you have probably heard them before. Keep reading and don't fall for them because they might make you drain all of your money away without receiving the returns you deserve.

1. There are loose and tight machines. If you have been reading our articles you are probably well aware that the main factor in your slot machine gaming outcome is luck. Whereas there are some things you can do to improve your bankroll management, lock your winnings, and to get better at playing, there is not much to be done about manipulating the results on the machine. Some online slot machine venues will tell you that loose machines pay out more often than those that are tight, but the truth is that all slot machines are tied to random number generators that produce a random outcome every time you hit the spin button. Most online slot machines have the same odds of hitting a winning combination at any random time.

2. Machines are due to pay out. Based on the same principle, slot machines are not due to pay out at any given time. If a machine has not hit the jackpot in a long time, the chances of you being able to hit it are the same any day. Some websites calculate the average payout time of slot machines, but the truth is that the results are random, so the same online slot might pay out the jackpot twice in one week, or twice in a year. The outcome is fully random, so play to have fun and know that any day you could become a millionaire.

3. Winning Sequences. They do not exist. Some players believe that if a certain symbol has appeared on your fourth reel five times in a row the machine must be due to pay out soon. However, this is based on pure superstition and there is no evidence that a symbol pattern can predict when the jackpot is close to being hit because the machine itself cannot predict that. All results are random, keep that in mind.
