Is it true that online pokie machines can literally get ‘hot’ and almost b guaranteed to make your day with a winning session – or is it a myth? Check out the theory of chance on the pokies and see if you really can hit a hot machine…..
The random nature of pokie machines
Online pokie machines are powered by gaming software that creates a random unpredictable gaming environment, but also one that’s predictable in the long-term. In essence, individual pokie spins and runs of spins can not be predicted in terms of payouts, but in the long run the payout average is around 90% plus.
The fact that pokie spin cycles will go through random payout percentages both below and in excess of 100% lends credence to the assertion that online pokies can seemingly go hot and cold. What’s more, mathematical theories like the Andruci concept suggests that in nature numbers can get locked into periods of predictability. In terms of the RNG, could it be possible that number patterns randomly occur that make a machine more likely to win (a topic that is highly controversial with casino exerts).
So – can machines get hot?
Ultimately what gamers want to know is can pokie machines get hot? Well, as we’ve seen above there is some logical support for machines getting lucky and it’s true that sometimes we hit winning sessions when the machines do payout very well. The problem is defining when a pokie is ‘hot’ and when we decide it’s gone ‘cold’ and should be quit? There is no real answer for this meaning you must use logic and make subjective calls when playing pokie machines. In addition, remember that a seemingly cold pokie session could suddenly go really hot with a massive jackpot spin.
When all’s said and done – pokies offer fair but 100% random gaming. Play them consistently with level stakes, get through the cold sessions and cross your fingers for jackpot luck. However, use you logic when deciding whether to quit the pokie, switch machines or kep spinning exactly where you are.
