老虎机就想一个恶魔，能让恶魔般的上瘾，但是在赌场中，老虎机游戏是最艰难的比赛。请记得停止播放，一旦你已经沉溺其中，如醉如痴，也许会有一个微弱的声音在你的脑袋说：“只是再多一个旋转，你就可能成为百万富翁了！”

　　所以打老虎机时，最重要保持你头脑的清醒，保持一个能让继续发挥的清醒的头脑。老虎机游戏玩你的头，而不是你的心脏（或肠道！）。下面是一些方针指南。

　　注意，赌场的营销手段通常是软性的，如“松”，“热”和“高回报”等等。事实并不是这样的。他们是什么意思是什么呢？如果是一个“宽松老虎机”，那它的确切支出的是什么，更重要的是，它是如何与其他游戏相联系的呢？

　　今天的角子机运行的计算机算法不断随机挑选一系列的数字，不管你是打或者不打。 RNG的随机数发生器不断复苏，然后翻译成你在卷轴上看到的号码。当你把硬币投进老虎机，然后按“旋转”按钮，电脑旋转卷轴会告诉你数列的号码，登陆时点击登陆按钮。

　　角子机实际上是一种戏剧化从0到9的数位变化的二进制代码。所以老虎机永远都是为你随机生成一个号码。

　　那么，如何编程算法呢？赌场赚钱，如果玩家返回到比原来更少的钱放进去，赌场会按一定的百分比返回他们的钱。这是轻而易举的。选择一个具有较高支付的赌场，你会得到更好的赔率。

　　如果一个赌场支付95％，这意味着，平均每英镑支付95便士。

　　它自己的收入保持在每磅5便士。

　　但要记住，角子机预先设定支付高峰和低谷。这是一个有点像在伦敦等候的巴士。

　　只要保持你的头脑的清醒，如果你赢了大的赌注，就要适时退出，不能沉迷。明智的做法是，去银行取现金买香槟庆祝。

　　译文：

　　Slots are fiendishly addictive- probably the most difficult game in the casino to stop playing once you have been mesmerised by the wheel spinning around, and the little voice in your head saying “just one more spin and you cold be a miilionaire!”

　　So when playing slots, its important to keep your head about you and to play the numbers. Play with your head, not your heart （or gut!）。 Here are some pointers.

　　Watch out for the marketing mumbo jumbo from the casinos. Terms like ”loose”， “hot” and “high payback” are there to bamboozle you. Get the facts. What do they mean exactly? If its a “loose slot” what is the exact payout and more importantly, how does it compare with their other games?”

　　Today’s slot machines are run off a computer algorithm which continually picks a series of numbers at random, whether you are playing or not. The RNG or random-number generator continually picks numbers that are then translated into what you see on the reels. When you put a coin in or press “spin”s the computer spins the reels to tell you which number series landed when the button was clicked.

　　The reels will stop where the computer tells them to stop – the reels are actually a bit of theatre to make the binary code of 0s and 1s more intereresting. So it’s just you against the RNG.

　　So how is the algorithm programmed? The casinos make money if they return to the players less money than was originally put in. So the casinos return a percentage of the money put in them. This is the Payout Percentage. Choose a casino with a higher payout and you’ll get better odds.

　　If a casino pays out at 95% it means that on average it will payout 95 pence for every pound played.

　　It keeps 5 pence in the pound for its own revenue.

　　But remember, slot machines are pre-set to pay out in spikes and troughs. It’s a bit like waiting for a London bus. They’ll be nothing, and then a big surge of payouts. Hit the surge, and you will be up on your money.

　　Just keep that in the back of your mind if you win big. You might win big again on the next spin （people have）， but if you are playing the stats, the sensible thing to do is to bank the cash and go and chill the champagne.
