Once a machine pays off, don't play it again because it won't pay off again for some time.
The machines have absolutely no ability to keep track of what has happened in the past. The results are totally random, the slot machine is as likely to pay off on the next pull as it would have
if a jackpot had not been won.
Slot machines near the entrances to casinos pay off more than other machines.
This belief is based on the assumption that winning machines near the entrance will attract passerby's into the casino. However, today there is no need for casino operators to attract people to
play slots, so if it was true in the past it most likely doesn't apply to today's reality.
Casinos can change the odds of a machine so beware of any casino employee fiddling around near the machines.
The payoffs on every slot machine are coded on a computer chip inserted into the machine when it's manufactured. Casinos, slot technicians, etc. cannot alter the payoffs.
If a slot machine advertises a 95% payback then I should expect a return of $95 for every $100 I put into the machine.
The payback percentages are long term percentages. The long term outlook allows the casinos to average income from the machines over time, which is much longer than the time you would
take to play $100 in a machine. In the short term (the time you would take to play $100) the machine could pay off a lot more or a lot less than the advertised amount.
You should play one coin at a time to get more chances at hitting the jackpot.
The chances of hitting a jackpot are small. In most cases, playing the maximum number of coins increases the payout rate percentage, which is actually your better bet to walking away as a winner.

Ocean Princess is a 'multi-spin' video slot machine, meaning there's more than one set of reels on the machine,
and you'll have a chance to match symbols on each set of reels.
There's 5 reel sets in total - and each 'spin' begins with setting the first set of reels along the bottom.
After the first set of reels is done spinning, you have the option of holding any symbols you'd like.
Any symbols you've held will appear on each of the 5 reel sets.
You then spin again - and all reels that do not have held symbols will spin until the game is set.
Multi-spin games are a fun diversion from 'regular' slots, but unfortunately the Princess doesn't offer very
good payouts compared to other games. A nice looking game, but not your best bet.
.
Hot Shot has a wild symbol, and a scatter symbol.
The Wild Ball symbol is wild and can substitute for
all other symbol except the Scatter Trophy symbol
to complete winning combinations.
The Wild Ball symbol only appears in reels 2, 3 and
4.
Only one winning combination is paid out per enabled
payline. If there is more than one possible winning
combination on a payline, you are paid out the value
of the highest combination only.
