What machines have the best payouts?

Many players believe their favorite machines have the best payouts. Is this a myth? I know many a friend who swears by double diamonds. The "best" payouts are determined by the purchaser of the machines, since they are preset to the Casinos specs (within the legal state minimum).

What are Reels?

The reels of a slot machine are the cylindrical spinning pieces around which all of the symbols are displayed. Most slot machines usually have three reels but sometimes you will find a two reel, or four reel or even higher.

The more reels in the machine, the more permutations or possible combinations are able to hit the pay line.

This means, in a multiple reel machine with a single jackpot line (to hit it big you need to get just the right combo), your chances of hitting that combo are slimmer than normal.

Are larger casinos better?

In other words, do larger casinos pay off better than smaller ones? There is no proof of this, and I personally doubt it. I do believe a larger casino may be motivated to place a few more loose machines around its establishment, but the sheer number of tight machines would make up for any advantage.

Statistics on slots simply do not bear this idea out.
