Jackpot Slots – Are There Any Signs of a Big Win?

[maronza1]

I’ve been thinking about jackpot slots and the many theories players have about them.

Some people swear there are “signs” that a slot is about to pay out — like long dry spells, certain patterns, or even how “hot” or “cold” a machine feels. Others believe it’s 100% random and nothing can predict a jackpot.

Then there’s the bet size question:

• Do you really need to bet max to have a shot at the big jackpots?
• Or does bet size only influence the amount you win, not whether you hit it at all?

From what I understand, most modern slots and progressives are random number generator (RNG) based, so no pattern or superstition should affect the outcome. But it’s interesting how many players still feel there are “signs.”

• Do you think there are any real signs of a jackpot coming?
• Have you (or someone you know) ever hit one after noticing something unusual?
• What’s your take on bet size — worth going max, or just play your normal stake?

I think yes, there are signs that indicate that a machine is about to cough out some money, not necessarily the jackpot, but I can be wrong. Some pros might know when the big hit is coming.

No, I haven't, nor do I know anyone who did, but that's probably because I don't approach, play or hang out with people who do. However, the lady in the video (bellow) could clarify many things for you. Whether in this video or another, I picked this one randomly.

As to the bet size, I'm almost sure you can only hit the Jackpot if you're betting the max.

I have never won the jackpot. And I don't know anyone who has won any significant amounts of money. I don't believe in all kinds of signals, as far as I'm concerned, it's all nonsense. You can win or lose, and it's all random. As for the size of the bet, I usually play with the minimum bets because my financial resources are quite limited.

Sure there are "signs" - some slots are so "unique" they even freeze when you have hit max win ...

There are no signs, but the higher that Jackpot gets the better your odds.

While you dont win more often, win you win the big one you win more for the same size bet.

There are players that are very scientific about it and wait until the jackpot hits a certain level before they will play.
