When it comes to payout percentages, these can be very helpful in selecting a place to make wagers over the internet. Slots payout percentage reflects the amount of paybacks a machine gives over a period of time in comparison with the amount of money put into that machine over the same time span.In regards to online casinos, payout percentages are usually determined over a thirty day time period, which are then verified by independent auditors and published one month thereafter. Therefore, the slot machine payouts for an online casino in August will not be available for view usually until October or late September at the earliest.

Online Slots Payout

When playing at land casinos, you will likely have the option of playing at slot machines that offer nickel, quarter, dollar, five-dollar, and hundred-dollar betting denominations. Which ones offer the best return rates? The highest denomination ones of course! Casinos make money by getting a large monetary turnover. Operators know that less money will go in and out of any give nickel slot during the course of a day, than will in a dollar machine. Because more money turns over in the higher-denomination machines, casinos can afford to offer higher return rates for players. Your bankroll may not be able to support playing a five-dollar coin slot for several hours a day, but with a 98.4% payout, it offers significantly better odds than a quarter slot. To take it a step farther, although you’d really have to be a high roller, the hundred dollar slots offer a near-100% return rate. Even though the machines don’t see nearly as much action as the quarter and dollar slots, so much is at stake on a single pull that allows the casino to offer a near even money return. So how much bankroll do you need to play each denomination of slot machine? Based on a three-coin maximum bet averaging ten spins minute, and matched against the according payout rates, to play for an hour you would need:

• $6.75 to play the nickel slots
• $26.75 to play the quarter slots
• $74.00 to play the dollar slots
• $145.00 to play the five dollar slots

Keep in mind that these bankroll figures are only estimates, based on the average payout across all slots. While playing, your actual return should vary a good bit from these numbers. To be conservative, I would suggest doubling the amounts listed above to ensure one hour’s worth of play. Who knows? Lots of people have won huge jackpots with much less. In late 2001, an Arizona businessman on vacation at Harrah’s Las Vegas won the multi-million dollar Megabucks jackpot after investing a mere $22.00! The simplicity of the game, and the high win potential is a big part of what fuels the popularity of slot machines.
