You have probably wondered, how do online casinos guarantee fairness with their games? This is a perfectly legitimate question because there are a few, very few casinos out there that have rigged softwares that are designed to cheat people’s hard-earned money. Fortunately, these casinos don’t last long as there are forums, blogs, news sites in which call out these bogus casinos and their reputation goes to ruin in a flash. So, most online casinos are very reputable and trustworthy. But how do they work?
Games like slot machines are programmed to pay out a certain percentage of the bets they receive. So, the casino operators normally put that percentage over 90%. Yes, you probably wouldn’t believe it when we tell you that most casino games return over a long period of time 90% or more of all bets they receive. This is the only way to make the game exciting and to allow players to win. The casino takes a small cut for their services (providing the games, deposit methods, customer service, management, etc) and the player gets a real chance to win.
We want to show you a simple way of testing how high the payout rates for each game are. If you deposit $100 at your favorite online casino site, you can run an experiment but you will need pen and paper next to you. You will make wagers of 10 cents per spin. You will keep track of how many spins you do, up to 1000. In the worst possible scenario, you would end up with $0 balance of this experiment, if the game were not to pay once from 1,000 wagers. Naturally this won’t happen. You will end up with around $70 to $90, if you did not in fact win. Ending up with $70 means that game paid out at 70% during those 1,000 spins. If you get $90 at the end of this experiment, the game paid out at 90%. Although this won’t say how much the game is actually set to pay out, you can at least see how loose the slot is at the moment. Even if you win after 1,000 spins, that doesn’t mean the game is set to pay over 100%. No casino with a sane mind would do that.
This is a simple way to test out online casino slots. If you don’t want to spend $100 to try our experiment, you can at least try it in fun mode (pretend-money mode) and play any of your favorite online casino slots for free.
