This question is concerning the $900 starting progressive jackpot on Outback Jack 2003-2006 version by aristocrat. Is the progressive determined at the beginning of the cycle and is paid when the progressive gets to that number or is decided on each individual spin if the random number generator hits the say 1/100000 odd selection?
Some of the Symbols used in Outback Jack
The symbols are also a comprehensive representation of the Australian Outback. The Kangaroos and Koalas, which are found in large numbers, make a regular appearance in the symbols set. Then there are symbols like boomerang, jeeps, and of course, the hero of the game, Outback Jack. There are also the standard symbols like King, Queen, Ace, Jack, and Ten. The scatter symbol, which is one of the most important symbols in a slots game, is the Australian map in Outback Jack.
- But keep in mind that casinos are designing slot machines to go faster and faster between spins. Some are even doing away with the handles and tokens by using digital readouts on gaming cards that you put into the machines. The faster machines can play up to 25 spins per hour, and 972 spins divided by 25 spins per minute is 38.88 minutes.
- Outback Jack Slots Aristocrat, one of the leading slots manufacturers in the world, is based in Australia and enjoys a very good market position in its home country. To pay a tribute to home and also leverage the popularity of the Australian Outback which is popular all over the world, the company has come out with a brand new slots game.
1. Is the progressive determined at the beginning of the cycle and is paid when the progressive gets to that number or is decided on each individual spin if the random number generator hits the say 1/100000 odd selection?
2. If it is per spin based, does betting 2x increase odds each spin then by 2x?
3. Also then as it increases to say $1,900, are the odds increased so machine pays more likely after it has played so long and obviously made a lot of money by then?
Thanks

Get this 'payout cycle' nonsense out of your head. Slot machines do NOT collect some money and then decide to pay out some ... slot machines work on Random Number Generators. Random.
Before a payout: random. After a payout: Random.
Facing North: Random Facing South: Random.
The amount of a bonus can vary if its a progressive, but the payout is always random.
If the bonus was paid out last year, it may hit again today. If the bonus was paid out yesterday, it may hit again today. Get it. RANDOM.

Whoa pardner! Slot machines have set holds, these hold percentages can be changed at any time and by definition, that eliminates the word 'random' from the discussion.
That's what I thought. But my friend says he thinks its predetermined after each progressive reset. So it is predetermined at cycle beginning or determined during the cycle itself on an each spin basis?
Sounds like you are confusing a regular progressive jackpot with a mystery progressive jackpot.
I believe the mystery jackpots are predetermined at reset. Not so with regular progressive jackpots like Outback Jack.

In Nevada by law they can not be changed at anytime, that's BS.Outback Jack Slot Machine Odds Poker
In Nevada by law they can not be changed at anytime, that's BS.
Sure they can axel. There's a regulation procedure that has to be followed, that's all. Maybe 'at anytime' was too loose a term.

First of all that's only A recent thing in few casinos here in Vegas, like the cosmopolitan that have that capability. It cant happen while you are playing the machine must be vacant for a period of time. This dose not really affect AP VP players because the % of the machine is determend by the payable and your strategy so anytime you look at the machine you can fig out the % by looking assuming you have this knowledge, most VP AP do.Most machines in Vegas they must go into the machine in order to change the %. Some machines they have to Change the chip and submit paperwork.
Since your only a slot player this should concern you. Because if you Did your little slot machine note taking on a Thursday, then came back in 30 min they could have changed the % and you would never have a clue. All the more reason why VP Play is a better choice when it comes to AP.
Once again I do believe one can get an advantage on some slots. I Just don't think you're the ONE.
