Slot Machine Myth #3 - If a slot machine has just hit a top jackpot it won't hit any decent payouts again for a very long time
Every slot machine uses a random number generator to generate the random numbers that control the games. These computer chips are working all the time, even when people aren't playing the machines. 1000's of new random numbers are calculated every second. These numbers are what controls the games, nothing else.
The only thing that makes any difference to the outcome of the game is when you hit that button. Hit it when the right random numbers come up, and you'll win. This is all done in a split second, and because no one, not even the people that made the slot machines, know what the random numbers will be, so it's all just a matter ob being there at the right time.
