Introduction
9
The first American video slot machine to offer a "second screen"
bonus round was Reel 'Em In developed by WMS Industries Inc. in
1996. In this type of machine, the display changes to provide a
different game in which an additional payout may be won or
accumulated. With this machine, the game of slots entered a new
technological era, based entirely on software programs.
The rise of computer culture led to a revolution in the design of
slots. While the old machines had mechanical reels (as cylinders)
which spun to determine the outcome, the computerized machines
can have any number of symbols on any number of reels; which
symbols are displayed is determined by a random number generator
which is constantly selecting number series that correspond to the
different symbols on the various reels.
Software programs are also responsible for the wide variety of
slot games we see nowadays, which can be played either at a case-
bound machine in a bar or physical casino, or at home, virtually, in
front of a computer.
10
the payout schedule. The display together with all the buttons and
commands of the machine form the interface of the slot
machine/game. The physical slot machines (either electromechanical
or electronic) have an interface and a case hiding the devices, while
the virtuaVcomputer ones show only an interface.
The reels are spun after the player inserts a coin or chip in the
coin slot, or electronic unit credit, and presses the start/play button.
After spinning, the reels produce the outcome of the game, which
consists of all symbols that remained visible through the windows
on the display.
The mechanical free spin ensures the randomness of the outcome,
while for the virtual games a PRNG (pseudorandom number
generator) is used.
An outcome is winning if certain pre-defined combinations of
symbols occur on one or more marked groups of visible stops. These
groups usually have the geometrical configuration of lines joining
neighboring stops, are collinear or broken, of various shapes and
size for any game in part, and are called paylines.
Each winning combination is clearly defined and has a certain
payout, noted in the displayed payout schedule. The paylines are
also marked on the display. Their number varies from one to
hundreds, depending on the number of reels, the display
configuration, and other particularities of the game. Some of them
can be disabled by default and enabled at the player' s discretion for
extra credit inserted. The extra credit by multiplication of the unit
credit also increases the payout of any win, in the same proportion.
If a winning combination occurs on a pay line, the player is paid
the unit credit inserted multiplied by the payout rate of that
combination. If one or more winning combinations occurs on
several paylines, the player is paid cumulatively for each distinct
winning combination occurring on each payline, according to its
payout.
In this standard description, the player plays against the house.
Variations from the above general description or machines with
additional features may allow the play against other players for a
common prize (like at the so-called progressive jackpot machines,
which are linked machines that return a certain share of their
cumulated profit as jackpot).
11
Popularity
For decades, the slots game has remained one of the three most
popular games of chance. The main elements that contribute to its
position are:
a) variety
Players may choose among a wide palette of games with respect
to rules, parameters, design, according to their profile, goals, or even
hobbies.
b) privacy
Slots games - played either in a public place or in front of the
computer - assume a private space in which there is only the player
and the machine, with minimal exposure, unlike a roulette table, for
example, where you place your bets together with other players.
c) attractive design
From the graphics of the symbols to the design ofthe interface
and even case, all is sparkling and brightly colored.
d) brevity
A game time line is short, lasting few seconds from credit
insertion to the stop of the spin, and time saving is always welcome.
e) illusions and sensations
There are design and configuration features that have as effect the
illusion of an imminent win, such as the near missing or the
sensation of a forthcoming winning combination.
Slot machines gained and maintained this popularity despite
some specific elements that could limit their appeal:
f) non-transparency
Players do not know the configurations ofthe machines they play
at, as this information is not exposed. Blackjack players know the
composition of the decks in play, roulette players know the numbers
on the wheel, lottery players know the numbers from which the
winning line is drawn, and so on. Slots remains the only game in
which players are not aware of the essential parameters of the game,
such as number of stops of the reels, number of symbols and their
distribution on the reels.
g) prevention from odds estimation
Of course, the lack of data regarding the configuration of a
machine prevents people from computing the odds of winning and
other mathematical indicators. The so-called PAR sheets, exposing
few of the parameters of the machines and probabilities associated
12
with the winning combinations are kept secret by game producers,
with no reasonable justification in my opinion. I prove this assertion
in the subchapter How to estimate the number ofstops and the
symbol distribution on a reel, where you can see that mathematics
provides us with some statistical methods of retrieving the missing
data or even through physical measurements. Another argument for
the non-justification of the secrecy on PAR sheets is the persistence
of the lottery players themselves: Lottery offers by far the lowest
odds of winning among games of chance. Most players do know
these odds and continue to play-in fact, they have done so for
centuries! Therefore, lottery will never lack for business, and the
slot game producers need not be worried about slots doing
otherwise.
h) low odds of winning
Even in the absence of the data I talked about in points f) and g),
players know from experience and statistical observation that the
slots game offers extremely low odds of winning, at least for the
displayed winning combinations in isolated plays, and we will see
that also in this book. Still behind lottery in overall low odds of
winning, slots game has the advantage that one can enhance the
odds with the long-run play far more quickly than in lottery - one
can spin the reels of a slot machine thousands times in a day, while
in lottery players must wait several days for a new game.
13
I have organized the content such that readers can skip the
theoretical parts and go picking the practical results (numerical or
ready-to-compute formulas) for their desired situation. Also, the
theoretical results are presented as statements, with no proofs or
calculations and algorithms, in their dedicated sections. Basically,
this book is written for the non-math slots player; however, every
non-math reader should be aware that applied mathematics results
can be delivered only in math terms; there is no other way of
communicating them. For all those interested in acquiring basic
knowledge on probability and statistical terms and on application of
probability theory in gambling, I recommend the book
Understanding and Calculating the Odds, with Applications in
Games of Chance and Everyday Life.
As in other games, the question arises as to the utility of such
mathematical results. Given that slots is not a strategic game played
against opponents (as with poker for instance, where the odds are
essential in evaluating the advantage in a given situation), one could
ask why we need "all the math stuff' associated with slots. The
answer is simple: information and strategy. It is a basic principle
that being informed on all parameters of a game one plays is an
advantage, especially when money is involved. It is as if someone
asks you to bet you can jump from a high place and land on your
feet; of course, it is an advantage for you to know in advance the
height from which you will jump or measure it before you bet, as
you might decline the bet or propose another one for a certain
measurement and this means decision.
As concerns the strategy, the only strategy in slots is the strategy
of choosing - choosing one game or another, choosing how many
paylines to enable, choosing the parameters of your time and money
management, and of course, choosing to quit a game for another or
choosing not to play at all. In this respect, slots is similar to lottery.
The criteria that stand at the base of the decisions for such strategy
are mostly subjective; however, there exist mathematical criteria that
are objective, and these are based entirely on probability and
expected value.
The mathematical results presented in this book are focused on
probabilities, as being the most important parameters for the
decisional criteria in slots. In obtaining the probability results
associated with slot machines of any kind, I have followed the
14
principles of generality and simplicity, by establishing the variables
- in minimal number - that can describe any winning event at a
certain category of slot games and allow any probability
computation through a compact algebraic formula. Thus, the results
cover not only the existing slot games, but also possible future slot
games of any design and configuration.
The book has two main parts - one dedicated to theory, which
presents the general formulas necessary for the practical
applications, and the other dedicated to practical results, in which I
particularize the general formulas in order to provide results for the
most common categories of slot games. The practical results are
gathered in the last chapter, titled Practical Applications and
Numerical Results, as both specific formulas, ready for inputting the
parameters of the slot game, and computed numerical results, where
the specific formulas allow the generation of two-dimensional tables
of values.
The structure of the book was created from the categorization of
the slot games, which was a difficult task. Given the wide variety of
the slot machines with regard to parametric design and rules, it was
very hard to break them down by categories and sub-categories and
on the basis of such categorization, to develop both the math work
and the collection of practical results. This variety also limits the last
chapter to three large categories of slot machines (the most
common). Also for space considerations, not all the winning events
of these slot games are covered in the results chapter - some
complex events having associated excessively long overloaded
formulas were not presented; in fact, the book would have several
thousand pages if somehow all the games and events were worked
out down to practical results. However, the full coverage is ensured
by compensation in the theoretical sections of the book, as the
general formulas presented there will allow any computation in a
specific situation not covered in the last chapter.
Overall, the slots player will find in this book the mathematical
facts behind slots and mathematical information on the winning
events of any slot game, as either numerical results or ready-to-
compute formulas. The way a player uses this information is entirely
up to himlher, and is not the concern of mathematics, which has
fulfilled its duty by providing all the data that it can provide and that
cannot be found on the display of the slot machines.

oflinking (for instance, 1-3-2-4 is a direction oflinking the points
starting from point 1 to point 4 and is identical with the direction
4-2-3-1). If we take into account also the sense of linking, not only
the direction, we have 24 paths instead of 12. Regardless of these
paths, which are not relevant for our model, we have only one 4-
point line, as per the stated definition.
Therefore a line has a connectivity property, not in a continuous
sense, but in a discrete one (through the neighboring property).
Although a line can be "walked" in several ways, this has no
geometrical or combinatorial interpretations, but only topological.
In the next figure, the set illustrated through black dots is not a
line, as it contains point A, which is an isolated point of that set.

Defmition: Let Mbe a finite subset of a grid. Point A E M is said
to be marginal point for M if one of the following situations is met:
1) For any BE M, X B $ X A ; the set of points A with this property
is called the right-side margin of M;
2) For any BE M, x B ;::: X A ; the set of points A with this property
is called the left-side margin of M;
3) For any BE M , YB $ YA; the set of points A with this property
is called the upper margin of M;
4) For any BE M , Y B ;::: Y A ; the set of points A with this property
is called the lower margin of M;
A point that is not marginal for M is called interior point for M.

call point A' of coordinates (2YL - YA' x A) the symmetric a/point A

points of L) and denote it by sL(A) = A'.
If line L is vertical, we call point A" of coordinates

is the coordinate on the x axis of all points of L) and denote it by

Observations:
Ifwe change condition b) by taking the maximal values of the
coordinates on the x axis instead ofthe minimal (call it condition b'),
we would obtain an equivalent definition as b implies b' and
conversely.
If we define the rectangular grid by taking vertical lines instead
of horizontal, we would also obtain an equivalent definition.
A rectangular grid is itself a line, of length mn.

As for the total number of lines a rectangular grid contains, there
is no compact algebraic formula for it, but an algorithm of counting
them as in a graph, which is too heavy to be presented here and of
no practical utility. Let us just say that we have lines oflength from
3 to mn. What we shall count next is the number of lines of
particular types.

The number of oblique lines included in an m x n-size rectangular
grid is (m - 2)(m - l)[n - m + (2m - 3)/3], if m ~ n.
For the number of oblique lines in case m > n , we have to switch
between m and n in the previous formula, since the number of
oblique lines is the same in an m x n- as in an n x m-size rectangular
grid. The previous formula generates the following table of values.

Example:
For a 4 x 8-size rectangular grid, we search the table at the

lines. This is also the number of oblique lines of an 8 x 4-size
rectangular grid.

If m ~ n , among all oblique lines we have:
2 x (n - m + 2) x 2 lines oflength m - 1,
2 x (n - m + 3) x 3 lines oflength m - 2,
and so on,
2 x (n - 3)(m - 3) lines oflength 4,
2 x (n - 2)(m - 2) lines of length 3.
If m > n , the number of lines of a specific length is given by the
same above formulas, in which we have to switch between variables
m and n.
Example:
In a 5 x 7-size rectangular grid, we have 2 x (7 - 4)(5 - 4) = 6
oblique lines of length 5 and also 6 such lines for a 7 x 5-size
rectangular grid.

Example:
On a 40-stops reel, there are 2 39 = 549,755,813 ,888 possible
distributions of symbols, among which C~~ = 68,923,264,410
possible distributions of p = 20 symbols.

Arrangement of the symbols
Observe that if the symbols are equally distributed one per stop
(p = t), function a is a permutation.

Method 1 - Statistical observation
46
Numbers. There is something causing the relative frequencies to
stabilize and this behavior goes beyond mathematics, being a matter
of philosophy of probability.
For more about the interpretations of probability and the Law of
Large Numbers, I recommend the book Understanding and
Calculating the Odds [2006].
Coming back to slots, we have to use statistical observation to
estimate the number of stops of a reel and the symbol distribution on
the reel, based upon the previous theoretical results. Such
approximation is possible for each parameter in part; still let us
observe that for our further purpose of estimating the probabilities of
the slots events (presented in the next chapter), we do not need to
know both the number of stops and the distribution of symbols, but
the ratios c; / t , which are the basic probabilities of occurrence of
each symbol. What we need before these ratios is the number p of
(distinct) symbols.
The method of estimating the reel parameters through statistical
observation is based on recording the number of occurrences of each
symbol in a large enough number of spins of a reel.
If N is this large number of spins, p is the recorded number of
symbols in the N spins, and (nl' n2, ... , np) are the recorded
numbers of occurrence of the symbols SI' S2' ... , Sp respectively,
then, according to the theory, we should have the approximations:
n. c
_ , :::: peS;) = -1... for every i from 1 to p
N t
Example:
We recorded the occurrences of the symbols on a reel in
N = 1,000 spins, got p = 12 symbols and noted down the following
frequencies of them:
47
for SI ' n l = 76 occurrences for S7' n7 = 93 occurrences
for S 2' n 2 = 80 occurrences for S8' n8 = 105 occurrences
for S3' n3 = 71 occurrences for S9' n9 = 75 occurrences
for S 4 ' n4 = 74 occurrences for SI O' n lo = 108 occurrences
for S5' n5 = 72 occurrences for SII ' nil = 101 occurrences
for S6' n6 = 73 occurrences for SI 2, nl 2 =72 occurrences
Then, the relative frequencies nj / N are the ratios
7611000 = 0.076, 8011000 = 0.080, 7111000 = 0.071 ,
7411000 = 0.074, 7211000 = 0.072 , 7311000 = 0.073 ,
9311 000 = 0.093 , 10511 000 = 0.105, 7511 000 = 0.075,
10811000 = 0.108 , 10111000 = 0.101 , 7211000 = 0.072, which
approximate the ratios (probabilities) c j / t , respectively for i from 1
to 12.
48
through statistical observation, number p is more visible than t.
Moreover, p might give some clue about how large t may be.
After a certain number of spins, all symbols will appear in our
record at least once. First, the most frequent will appear, then the
least frequent. We have to decide at what point we have a sufficient
number of spins to catch all of the symbols and thus to establish p .
On most machines, the regular symbols (graphical symbols) are
repeated between 1 and 5 times on the reel and the blank symbols
(white symbols with no graphics, which we consider as symbols in
our model) occupy about half of the stops. Of course, this is not a
general rule.
Let N ' be a first number of recorded spins, such that the
occurrences of symbols got somehow stabilized after the N ' spins
(no new symbols for the last, say, 100 spins). Assuming a rate of
regular symbol multiplication between 1 and 5, we continue the
spins until 5N'. If no new symbol occurred in the last 4N ' spins, we
can establish the recorded number of (distinct) symbols in the
watched spins as p (the number of distinct regular symbols plus I as
the blank symbol, which surely occurred among the first ones). If
after the last 4N' spins a new symbol occurred, we shall rerun the
algorithm for updating p , waiting first for a new period of
stabilization.
Having established nwnber p , we could make a raw estimation of
a maximal value of t, just for acquiring some information on how
large N should be for obtaining good approximations on the ratios
cj / t . This estimation is made under the previous assumption about
the symbol multiplication rates. Staying with the maximum of 5
repetitions for the regular symbols and half of the stops for the
blanks, we could write:
5p , + t max :::: {max' where p r is the recorded number of regular
2
(distinct) symbols (Of course, p = p , + I.)
It follows that t max :::: 10Pr' so we should record at least lOOp,
spms.
49
Example:
After N' == 300 spins of a reel, we recorded blanks and p, = 19
regular symbols, with no new symbol occurring for the last 100
spins. We continue to watch the reel for another 4N' == 1,200 spins
and got no new symbol. We take p == 20 and expect a maximal t of
19 x 10 = 190 stops. This estimation recommends an extension of
the number of spins N over 1,900, after which we can approximate
the ratios Cj / t .
Denominator-match method
50
I shall not insist on the theoretical side of this method, which
requires advanced statistics knowledge, but present its general
algorithm of application and a detailed example.
51
For each d~nin , from the sequence of equal fractions
52
we filter them by C2; if again we remain with more than one
sequence after C2, we filter them by C3 .
After filtering, we remain with one final sequence, which holds
the best approximation of the parameters of the reel configuration:
• Clf C 2f C pf
Af · d"d2" '" d
Cl f C'f
P
Cpf
for every i from 1 to p. If S does not lie between the minimum and
maximum of the denominators of sequence Af' we make the
following adjustments:
If S < mindif, we consider the difference M - S, where M is the
I= l ,p
nearest integer to the mean (~~ d:r + If2~; d:r ) / 2 , and distribute it
through addition over the numbers c if ' proportionally with their
values and rounding the added quantities to integers, from the
highest to the lowest cif ' (If N was large enough, this process
usually stops after the first 1 - 3 highest cif and the added values are
1, maximum 2).
If S > max dif ' we consider the difference S - M and distribute it
i=l ,p
through subtraction over the numbers cif ' proportionally with their
values and rounding the subtracted quantities to integers, from the
highest to the lowest cif'
After these adjustments, we obtain a new sequence of fractions
53
mindif + maxdif
We then choose t = M = I=l ,p I=l ,p , where Ilxl denotes
2
54
Example:
After recording N = 100 spins of a reel, we found p = 10 distinct
symbols, with the following recorded distribution: (n, = 8 , n2 = 9 ,
n3 = 10 , n4 = 15, n5 = 15 , n6 = 10, n7 = 20 , ng = 5, n9 = 4 ,
n,o = 4).

C s = 4, c6 = 2 , c7 = 4 , c8 = 1, c9 = 1 , clO = 1 as the most probable

is applicable is narrow (only machines with the stops in a three-
dimensional view).
Given the shorter error range in estimating t through physical
measurement, this method is recommended where possible before
using the method of statistical observation. Once we have an
accurate estimation of t, we can choose accordingly the number N of
spins to watch (at least lOt, preferably many more) and thus we can
get a more accurate estimation of the symbol distribution on the reel.
Both methods of estimation here presented require some effort on
the part of the observer and assume issues and risks in applying
them. And all this effort is because the game producers do not
disclose the parameters of the configurations of the reels.
Of course, if other sources do provide these parameters, we must
use them instead of applying the described methods, in order to
avoid the errors involved. Such sources might include old studies on
machines with disclosed parameters, slot machine operators, or
discarded parts (reels, symbol strips, etc.) from machines that were
broken.
Now that we have methods of estimating the parameters of the
reels, we can proceed to the probability models of the slot machines,
which will provide us with general formulas for the probability of
various slots events. By using the estimations for the reel
parameters, we can obtain all the numerical results we need, that is,
we can generate the so-called PAR sheet of any slot machine. But
first, let us talk about the combinations involved in slots, which play
a crucial role in defming the gaming events we measure through
probability and in the probability formulas as well.

Combinations
65
Any outcome of the machine on a payline is a combination of
symbols, but also a combination of stops holding those symbols.
66
1. Combinations holding a specific symbol S
Example I .I.a:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, then
symbols, on a payline of length 5 of a slot machine with 15 symbols,
combinations holding exactly one cherry symbol, given that we have
4 cherries on each reel and each reel has 50 stops?
We are in case A and we have:p = 15, n = 5, S= , t= 50, and
Cs = 4. Replacing these values in the formulas of NA and N ' and

have the numbers of stops 60, 50, and 50 on reels 1, 2, and 3
respectively and the distributions of the melon symbol on these reels
are 5, 4, and 3 respectively?
We are in case B and we have: p = 12, n = 3, S = ~, then

In both examples, if we want to count the combinations holding
at least one and at most three instances of the symbol S (one, two, or

two and at most three instances (two or three), we have to add the
results for 2 and 3 instances.

As a rule for generating properly all the terms of this sum, which
reverts to a rule of handling the subscripts and superscripts of the c's,
take the following: For superscripts, generate a1l4-size
combinations of the numbers 1,2,3, 4, and 5 (the reels):
1234
1235
1245

For subscripts, generate all4-size distinct arrangements of 4
elements consisting ofthree 1's and one 2 (the symbols):
1112

1121
For each combination of superscripts, run all combinations of
subscripts and get 4 terms for each combination (20 in total). The
76
factor (tq- ci - ci ) following each product of four c's is obtained by
taking q as the number of the reel missing in the superscripts of the
previous four c's. Replacing the given parameters in the formula of
N B and doing calculations, we get:
NB = (5 . 5 . 6 . 5) (100 - 8 - 6) + ( 4 . 5 . 6 . 6) (100 - 8 - 6) +

What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, then

holding only orange and melon symbols ( and ~), given that the
distributions of the orange symbol on these reels are 2, 2, 3, and 3
respectively and the distributions of the melon symbol on these reels
are 1,2,3, and 2 respectively? What if the symbols had the same
distribution on the four reels - 3 orange and 2 melon symbols on
each reel?
Wehaven=4, SI = , S2= Ii, then in case B we have

Four instances of two symbols can be distributed cumulatively
over the n = 4 places as follows: 3 + 1,2 + 2, and 1 + 3.
NB = N B(3,1) + NB(2,2) + N B(l,3). We shall compute each term

The expressions above explain why the number of stops of each

Example:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops on a

and the distribution of the symbols on the reels is: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,

We have n = 6, p = 10, t = 18, and

For the first sum, we need NA(3) for each symbol, which can be

Due to the particular distribution of symbols, we have that:

Group 4: c i = 28 pairs of symbols (x , y), with x and y different

For any pair of group 1 or 2, we have
N A(3, 3) = 400.1 3 .2 3 =3, 200. For the pair of group 3,
N A(3,3) = 400.1 3 .13 = 400. For any pair of group 4, we have

Adding up all these partial results, we find the second sum of the
main formula to be 16·3, 200 + 1· 400 + 28·25,600 = 768, 400,
which shall be added with minus after the first sum. Therefore,
N A(3) = 5,439, 400 -768, 400 = 4, 671, 000.

Regarding probability calculus, I shall not insist on it, as my task
here is to provide final results, numerical where possible, and not the
entire math behind them.
Probability calculus is based on the properties of probability, and
in gambling, it uses combinatorial calculus extensively. Beyond the
classical definition of probability on a finite field of events - the
ratio between the number of favorable situations
for an event to occur and the number of all equally possible
situations - which is even used on a large scale in the current work,
the probability calculations become heavier for complex events and
require the use of all mathematical results of probability theory as
well as other math theories. For those who want to study and
practice probability calculus, I recommend the same book,
Understanding and Calculating the Odds, as a calculus guide for
beginners, with plenty of applications, especially in gambling.
The main goal of this book is to provide the odds/probabilities of
the various winning events in slots, through general formulas having
full coverage of such events and tables of numerical values, where
these formulas or particular cases of them can be written with less
than three variables, allowing the generating of the tables.
The last chapter is organized so as to allow players who are not
mathematically inclined to make a quick identification of the desired
odds, which can be found directly from tables or computed by
replacing in the right formula the given parameters, with no need for
them to follow the math parts of this chapter or the previous, which
can be skipped for the final results of the applications.
The probabilities and formulas were worked out in the same two
cases as in the Combinations chapter: A - the same number of stops
and symbol distribution on the reels and B - different numbers of
stops and symbol distributions on the reels. The results were
obtained by using the properties of probability on finite fields of
events, which is the case in all slots applications.
In case A, we were able to provide tables of numerical values for
some general and particular types of events; however, in case B,
generating tables was possible for just a few particular types of
events due to the increased number of variables involved. In case B,
replacing the given parameters in the provided formulas and doing
the calculations are required for most of the practical applications.
91
The results provided have examples attached, of either using the
tables or applying the formulas.
Regarding the odds/probabilities terms, the final numerical result
of a probability application can be expressed in two ways: as a
fraction (or percentage) or as odds. Probability, as a subunit real
number, is a fraction. The odds represent a way of expressing the
probability of an event reported to the probability of the contrary
event. The following formula is used to convert a probability into
odds: odds = probability / (1 - probability) .
For example, a 113 probability of event A is converted into odds
as follows: odds of A = (1 /3)/(1 - 113) = (1 /3)/(2/3) = 112.
This is denoted by 2: 1 and reads the chances ofA to occur are 2
against 1, meaning there are two chances in three for A C to occur
and one chance in three for A to occur.
Conversely, to convert odds into a probability, the following
formula is used: probability = odds / (1 + odds).
For example, a 3:2 odds is converted into probability as follows:
(2/3) / (1 + 2/3) = (2/3) / (5/3) = 2/5 or 40% as percentage.
Even though the words probability and odds have different
definitions attached, they express the same quantitative and
qualitative content, so their undifferentiated usage along with the
associated numbers is not quite an error, but rather a deviation from
consistent terminology.
In this book, I preferred to work with probabilities rather than
odds, as for a game with no opponents, they illustrate better the
measure of the risk and they are also easier to write (one number
instead of two).
But before getting straight into the probability applications and
calculations, let us talk first about the categories of slots gaming
events that will be measured in probability.
92
Slots gaming events
93
Example:
In a field of events related to a payline of length 3, the occurrence
of any 3-size combination as (stop no. i ofreel no. 1, stop no.} on
reel no. 2, stop no. k on reel no. 3), where the reels denoted by 1, 2,
and 3 are the reels crossing that payline, is an elementary event.
The combinations of stops of type (two oranges and
a plum), . 7 (one cherry, one seven, and one orange), or
" (a money bag and two plums) represent compound events.
For instance, 7 is the union of the elementary events
represented by all combinations of stops holding:
a cherry on reel 1, a seven on reel 2, an orange on reel 3 or
a cherry on reel 1, a seven on reel 3, an orange on reel 2 or
a cherry on reel 2, a seven on reel 1, an orange on reel 3 or
a cherry on reel 2, a seven on reel 3, an orange on reell or
a cherry on reel 3, a seven on reel l , an orange on reel 2 or
a cherry on reel 3, a seven on reel 2, an orange on reel 1.
The event two cherries is also a compound event, as being the
union of the elementary events represented by all combinations of
stops holding:
one cherry on each of reels 1 and 2 and any symbol on reel 3 or
one cherry on each of reels land 3 and any symbol on reel 2 or
one cherry on each of reels 2 and 3 and any symbol on reel 1.
Simple events
These are the events related to one line, which are types of
combinations of stops expressed through specific numbers of
identical symbols (instances).
For example, '77 on a pay line of length 3 is a simple
event, defined as "two seven and one orange symbols".
Most of the winning events (showing usually on the graphics of
the display of the machine as combinations of symbols, as in our
example) are simple events with respect to probability calculus.
94
Complex events of type 1
These are unions of simple events related to one line.
For instance, the event any triple on a payline oflength 3 of a
•
fruit machine is a complex event of type 1, as being the union of the
simple events , and so on
(consider all the symbols of that machine).
Any double or two cherries or two oranges or at least one cherry
are also complex events of type 1.
Most of the complex events of type 1 appear as winning events
on the various types of slot machines.
95
The general formulas of the probability of the
winning events related to one payline
The winning events on one pay line are simple events or complex
events of type 1, as per the classification from the previous
subchapter.
I keep the same denotations as in chapter Combinations, starting
with n as the length of the payline, p as the number of distinct
symbols of the machine (SI ' S2"' " Sp)' and:
in case A, t is the number of stops on each reel and Ci is the
distribution (number of instances) of symbol Si on each reel
(1:::;i:::;p) ;
in case B, tj is the number of stops on reel numberj and c( is
the distribution of symbol Si on reel number j (1 :::; i :::; p and
1<_}. <

All probabilities expressed further were worked out under the
following assumptions:
- the reels spin independently;
- a payline does not contain two stops of the same reel (it crosses
over the reels without overlapping them) ; this reverts to the fact that
any m events, each one related to one stop of the pay line , are
independent of each other;
- each reel contains p symbols; this is actually a convention: if a
symbol does not appear on a reel, we could simply take its
distribution on that reel as being zero.

Example:
On a classical slot machine with three reels, one payline, 20 stops
on each reel, and also 20 symbols, what is the probability of 2
symbols 8, and 1 symbol 82 occurring on the pay line after the
spin?
We have n = 3, t = P = 20, so c1 = c2 = ... = c20 = 1.
We take a l = 2, a 2 = 1, a3 = a4 = ... = a20 = 0 and we have a
winning event described through the exact distribution of all
°°
symbols on the payline, since 2 + 1 + + + ... + 0 = 3. Therefore,
we can apply formula (2) and find:

As we have seen, formula (2) can be directly applied for winning
events defined through the distribution of all symbols on the
payline, in case A, as in the previous two examples. These are
simple events. How do we deal then with other types of events, like
complex events of type 2, for example? For these events, we must
apply the general formula (1) , which reverts to counting the number
of favorable combinations of stops F(E), or, for particular situations,
apply formula (2) several times and add the results.
For particular types of events, formulas of F(E) were provided in
chapter Combinations and should be used in the probability
calculus.
Example:
On the same slot machine as in previous example (with three
reels, one pay line, 22 stops on each reel and also 22 symbols), what
is the probability of exactly 2 cherries occurring on the payline after
the spin?
Since we are given only the distribution of one symbol (S = 0)
on the payline (one stop remains not filled that could be filled with
any symbol except cherry - that is we have the combinations
cO x) as the winning event), we cannot directly apply formula
(2). The favorable combinations for the winning event to occur are
of the type exactly two instances of S, which is the subject of section
1.2 from the Combinations chapter.
Therefore, F(E) is NA as per its formula presented in that
3·2
values, we find F(E) = - .1 2 (22 _1)3-2 = 63. Now we can
2
compute the probability of E, as:
peE) = F(E) = 633 =0.00591 = 0.591 %.

40,50, 50, and 60 stops on the five reels respectively; 3, 2, 2, 2, and
3 oranges distributed on the five reels respectively?
103
Example:
What is the probability of any triple (three identical symbols)
occurring on a payline of length 5 at a slot machine with the
following parameters: 30 symbols; 56, 56, 56, 56, and 86 stops on
the five reels respectively; four of the symbols each has the
distribution 1, 1, 1, 1, and 2 on the five reels respectively and each
of the rest of26 symbols has the distribution 2, 2, 2, 2, and 3 on the
five reels respectively?

This number of combinations holds for any of the symbols S,

The formulas (1), (2), (3), and (4) presented in this section are the
general formulas for calculating the probability of the common
winning events on one payline.
The payline for which they are applied can be of any type
(horizontal, vertical, triangular, trapezoidal, zigzag, etc.), as long as
the assumption of the independency of its stops I stated for this
probability calculus is met at that machine.
The formulas can be used directly for simple events or along with
other properties of probability for complex events of type 1. For
more complex events (of type 2 or 3), approximations are also
needed beside these properties, for ease of calculations and for being
able to offer probability results with large coverage and as Iowa
number of variables involved as possible.
We shall talk about the probabilities of these complex events in
the next section.
106
The probabilities of the winning events related to
several lines
All the probability fields we deal with in slots are based on fields
of events consisting of sets of combinations of stops holding
symbols in various combinations. The Boolean operations union and
intersection on these sets revert respectively to the common or
(disjunction) and and (conjunction) operations between events. This
means that any event of any complexity can be expressed through
events of lower complexities operated between them with union and
intersection, down to the elementary events.
Of course, this structure of a complex event is crucial in
calculating the probability of that event by using the properties of
pro bability.
In particular, any complex event of type 2 or 3 is a union of
simple events or complex events of type 1, as follows:
Let C be a winning combination or type of combinations of
symbols and the events E\ - occurrence of C on line ~ ,
107
E2 - occurrence of C on line L\ , and so on, E/II - occurrence of C on
line L/II . Then, event E - occurrence of C on one or more of
(equivalent to at least one of or any oj) the lines L\ through L",
(which is a complex event of type 2 or 3) can be written as an union
of events that are simple events or complex events of type 1, namely
'"
E=E\ uE2 u ... uEm=UEi •
,=1
When estimating the probability peE), calculations will use
probabilities peE;) , which will be operated by the rules given by
the properties of probability.

Still for this latter situation, we must be circumspect with the
"increase" in chances of winning when enabling several such
paylines, as it is hard to believe that the game producer makes the
symbol arrangements on the reels so that the player can get several
winning combinations at once, one on a payline.
All the theoretical framework of this section stands regardless of
the length of the lines - the definition of independence of the lines is
stated for any length of the lines of the group, and so the
consequences remain the same. The only things that change with the
length of the lines are the probability calculations for events related
to those lines.
For any two events Al and A2 ofthe same field of events, the
probabilities of their union and of their intersection are related
through the following property:
peAl uA 2 ) = P(A])+P(A 2 )-P(A] nA2 ) or, else stated: (5)
peAl or A2 ) = peAl) + P( ~ ) - peAl and ~)
The generalization of (5) is the following property:

Example:
On a 12-reel slot machine with a 4 x 3 display and the same
distribution of symbols on the reels, a winning combination of
symbols C has the probability 0.015 of occurring on a payline of
length 3. What is the probability of C occurring on at least one of the
four horizontal lines?
Let Li (i from 1 to 4) be the four horizontal lines and let Ai be
the event "Combination C occurs on line Li". Lines Li are
independent and thus the events Ai are also independent. Let us
compute the partial sums from formula (6).

We have C; =4 of 3-size combinations of events A;, and
therefore, 4 intersections of three events A; (AI (\ ~ (\ A3,
AI (\ A2 (\ A4 , AI (\ A3(\ A4, ~ (\ A3(\ A4)· Since any three events
are independent, the probability of their intersection is the product of
the probabilities of those events:
peA; (\ Aj (\ Ak) = P(AJP(A) P(Ak) = 0.015 ·0.015·0.015 =
0.000003375, for every 1::; i < j < k ::; 4. Hence the third sum from
formula (6) is 4 · 0.000003375 = 0.0000135.
We have C:
= 1 of 4-size combinations of events A;, and
therefore, 1 intersection of four events A; (AI (\ A2 (\ A3(\ A4).
Since the four events are independent, the probability of their
intersection is the product of the probabilities of those events:
pe A; (\ Aj (\ Ak (\ A,) = P(A;)P(A) P(Ak)P(A,) =
0.015·0.015 · 0.015 · 0.015 = 0.000000050625 , for
1 ~ i < j < k < I ~ 4. Hence the fourth (the last) sum from formula
(6) is 0.0000050625 .
Now we can operate all these partial results, by obeying the rule
of the signs in inclusion-exclusion principle:
= 0.05866344 = 5.866%.
Approximations
114
Each personal probability-based strategy holds a threshold of
afforded risk. This threshold is an average probability to which each
player refers when making decisions on hislher next action and is
the level of the probability of failure with which the player is
comfortable staying in the game. A general criterion using the
threshold of afforded risk in a gaming strategy would be: "If the
odds of failing (getting beaten by opponents, or busted, or losing the
bet against the house, etc.) at moment t are higher thanp, then I will
not stay in the game."
The threshold of afforded risk is p and the value of p is different
for each player and even can change several times during a game,
for the same player. Since p is so relative, its range is quite large.
The relativity of the threshold of afforded risk and the fact that
choosing it is a subjective action help us in our endeavor of
approximating and evaluating the probabilities. That is because the
error ranges coming from such approximations will be covered by
the differences between the fluctuating values of the threshold of
afforded risk.
Usually an error range of maximum ±0.02 (2% probability) is
satisfactory for any odds approximation in some games of chance,
with respect to the commonly used thresholds of afforded risk. Any
approximation whose error range falls within this interval would be
considered accurate enough for use in gaming actions in those
games.
In slots, the probabilities ofthe winning events on one line are
generally low to very low and therefore the probabilities oftheir
conjunctions (intersections) are even lower.
If we want to choose an example of a probability from the upper
edge, take for instance an old classical 3-reel machine with 22 stops
and 22 symbols on each reel. Then, the probability of a specific
symbol occurring twice on the three reels (a double) is
n(n-l)(cs )2(t-c s y-2 3.2.1 2 (22-1)' -0290/ (S . 12
2tn = 2.22 3 -. 10. ee sectIOn .
Exactly two instances of S in the Combinations chapter and formula
(1) for this application.) If any double is winning (which is not the
case for all such machines), the probability of winning with any
double comes to 2.9%, say 3%. This would be a maximal
probability of winning, in practice, on a payline of length 3.
115
Now imagine a multiline machine with the same parameters for
each reel. For two independent lines of length 3, the probability of
winning with any double on both lines would be 3% x 3% = 0.0009
= 0.09%. For lines with a length higher than 3, the winning rules
usually require more than 2 identical symbols. Also in such cases,
we come to winning probabilities under 3% for a line.
Since in practice the machines have more than 22 stops on their
reels (nowadays they have hundreds) and more symbols, we can
draw the conclusion that any conjunction of winning events (on
several lines) has a probability under 0.09%. This value is low
enough to make a raw approximation of the probability of an union
of winning events as the sum of the probabilities of these events
(ignoring the probabilities of their intersections). That is:
P(AI U A2 ) = P(A I ) + P(A2 ) - P(AI n A2 ) ~ P(AI) + P(~) for
two events and in general (for n events)

the approximated probability of the conjunction.
In the hypothetical case where m = min(IL]I , IL2 1) , we have that
one line is included in the other. Assume 1.. c L2, so L] is the
shortest (m = IL]I). Then ~ implies A] and thus ~ c A] and
P (A] n ~ ) = P ( ~ ) = P2 . Hence the right-side bound of the
approximated probability of the conjunction is the probability of the
event related to the longest line (which is max(pl' P2) in case A). In
this hypothetical case where the two lines overlap, it does not matter
whether we are in case A or B, as we deal with the same stops;
therefore, we can take max(pl' P2) as the right-side bound.
Thus, we obtained the following bounds for P (A] n ~) :

In the particular case A with n lines of the same length 1, formula

We also have the case where the lines of the group do not share

Let m ij be the number of the stops shared by lines Li and Lj' with

o~ m ij ~ min(ILkl)k=I,n. In this case, we have a similar

Approximating the probability of a disjunction of slots events
AO approximation
An immediate consequence of formula (6) is the following
inequality:
Example:
Estimate the probability of a combination C occurring on at least
one of four paylines, given that the probabilities of C occurring on
each line are 0.0057, 0.0064, 0.0075 , and 0.0098.
124
At, A2, A3 approximations
When the AO approximation interval is considered too large for
an accurate estimation and the given circumstances allow the easy
calculation of one or more of the next terms of formula (6), we can
use the following approximation algorithm for estimating the
probability of the union.
Formula (6) has the form:
t, P( A, ) -', ,; P (Q J,; t,
A, P( A,), we find an approximation
interval for the probability of the union, having as extremes the sum
of the partial probabilities minus t2 at left and the sum ofthe partial
probabilities at right.
We can continue by approximating the desired probability
through the arithmetic mean of the extremes of the approximation
interval:
(14)
125
Thus, the left-hand extreme of the approximation interval
remains the same as that of Al and the right-hand extreme gets
closer to it with t3'

127
Lines Li have the same length, namely 5 points and the
probability of occurrence of C on any line is p = 0.0078.
Denoting by Ai the corresponding events, we first check the
intersections of these events:
We have C J22 = 66 intersections of size 2, C J32 = 220 intersections
of size 3, CJ~ = 495 intersections of size 4, etc.
We shall estimate the sum of the probabilities of the intersections
of size 2 (term t2 of the formula of the inclusion-exclusion
principle) and apply an A 1 approximation.
We group the 66 intersections as follows:
a. Intersections between two events corresponding to two
horizontal lines, numbering C~ = 10 intersections. Each pair of
horizontal lines share no stops and are independent.
b. Intersections between two events corresponding to two vertical
lines, numbering C; =10 intersections. Each pair of vertical lines
share no stops and are independent.
c. Intersections between two events, one corresponding to a
horizontal, and the other to a vertical line, numbering 5 x 5 = 25
intersections. Each pair of such lines share 1 stop.
d. Intersections between two events corresponding to two oblique
lines, numbering one intersection ( AJ J n AJ2 ). The pair of lines ~ J
and LJ 2 share 1 stop.
e. Intersections between two events, one corresponding to an
oblique line and the other to a horizontal or vertical one, numbering
10 + 10 = 20 intersections. Each pair of such lines share 1 stop.
Within each group, each intersection has the same probability.
Let us take an intersection from each group and estimate its
probability, denoting them by Pa' Pb' Pc, Pd' and Pe respectively.
- In group a, the lines are independent and so are the events, so
the probability of an intersection is Pa = p ' P = 0.00006084.
- In group b, the lines are still independent and, so the probability
of an intersection is still Pb = p ' P = 0.00006084.
- In group c, we shall approximate the probability of an
intersection by the use of formula (8):
128
P :::: p 2 + m (p - p 2) = 0.00006084 + 1(0.0078 - 0.00006084) =
c I 5
= 0.00160867.
- In group d, we shall approximate the probability of the
intersection by the use of the same formula (8) and still get
Pd = 0.00160867.
- In group e we do the same and get the same result:
Pe = 0.00160867 .
Now we are able to compute the sum of the probabilities ofthe
intersections of size 2:
t2 = 10Pa + 10Pb + 25pc + 1Pd + 20Pe = 0.0752156:::: 7.52%
Applying formula (14) (the Al approximation), we obtain:

Repeated bets and expected value
The games of slots are not games to play isolately - that is, you
won't spin the reels of a machine once, twice, or a few times, then
leave and come back to spin again after, say, three months. The slot
player' s behavior has a strong repetitive character. A slot player
usually bets (spins the reels) from tens to hundreds of times over a
session and thousands of times during a week.
This is why, from probability/statistics point of view, the slot
player will be interested not only in the winning events on one or
more paylines at a spin, but also on winning events related to the
long-run play.
The mathematical notions that model the repetitive bet are the
expected value and the Bernoullian distribution.
Expected value
131
though one cannot run that bet infinitely. Together with probability,
expected value stands as a criterion for decisions in games where the
bets have specific payouts, such as in slots.
In slots, when assigning the expected value to a bet, we can refer
to one winning event or several, on one payline or several paylines,
as we did with the probabilities.
132
Example:
Find the EV of the profit of a bet on exactly two cherries
occurring on the payline of a 3-reel slot machine, given that each
reel has 60 stops and 5 cherries, there is no winning combination
with exactly one instance of another specific symbol, the two-cherry
winning combination has the payout of 20 credits, and 1 unit credit
is worth $0.1.

If the winning event E is a union (disjunction) of winning events
of various unique payout rates, Ei are winning events with unique
payout rates that form a partition of E (that is they are mutually
n
Example :
Find the EV of the profit of a bet on any winning combination
holding only melon or plum symbols or any combination of them
occurring on the payline of a 3-reel slot machine, given that each
reel has 80 stops,S melons, and 6 plums, 1 unit credit is worth $0.1 ,
and the payout schedule includes:
• t ~, with payout of 500 credits
• • , with payout of 100 credits
mix ~ & , with payout of 50 credits.
137
(F or PI and P2 we used the table of section 1.1 Event EI - A
specific symbol three times and for P3 we used table 5 of section
1.6 Event E6 - Any combination of two specific symbols of the
subchapter 3-reel slot machines of the chapter Practical
Applications and Numerical Results.)
Now we can apply formula (18) and get:
M(E; 500, 100, 50) = s (PI'i + P2r2 + P3r3 -1) =
= $0.1(0.00024414·500+ 0.00042188 ·100+ 0.000644531· 50 -1) =
= -$0.080351.
138
In this case, denoting by Pi the probability of C occurring on
payline number i, formula (19) is written as:
M(E; r, 2r, ... , nr) =
k",i k",i ,j
Particularizing further, to a group of n independent paylines with
the same probability p of occurrence of C on each payline (for
instance, the group of horizontal paylines of a 9-reel slot machine in
case A, or the vertical), formula (20) becomes:
M(E; r, 2r, ... , nr) =
s[rnp(1- py-I + 2rC~p2 (1- py-2 + ... + nrC;pn -1] (21)
Example:
Find the EV of the profit of a bet on three lemons occurring on
any of the three horizontal pay lines of a 9-reel slot machine, given
that each reel has 90 stops and 2 lemons, the three-lemon winning
combination has the payout of200 credits, and 1 unit credit is worth
$0.05.
The winning combination C is three lemons. The probability p of
C occurring on a payline is 0.000010974 (taken from the table of
section 1.1 Event E, - A specific symbol three times in subchapter
3-reel slot machines of chapter Practical Applications and
Numerical Results).
Applying formula (21), we get:
M(E; r, 2r, ... , nr) =
$OOS[ 200 2 · 00000 10974 · (0999989026)' + 2 ·200 3 (00000 10974)' ·0.999989026 +3 · 200 I· (00000 10974)3 - I] =
= - $0.04967.
The most general case is when the winning event E which we bet
on is defined through a disjunction of winning combinations of
symbols, with different payout rates, occurring on any line of a
group of n pay lines. In this case, we must perform a double
decomposition - first of the winning event down to winning events
of unique payout rates, then of each of the constituent events of the
first decomposition, by the exact number of pay lines on which it can
occur:
139
Let E = E\ U E2 U ... U Em be a partition of event E in winning
events such that events E; are expressed through winning
combinations that have the payout rates lj respectively, for i from 1
to m. This is the first decomposing.
Next, we define the events Eij' for i from 1 to m and} from 1 to
n, as follows: Etj is the event "event E; occurs on exactly j
pay lines". The mn events Eij form a partition of event E and the
payout rate of Eu is }fj , for every i and}. This is the second
decomposing.
Denote the probabilities by P;(j) = peE;) (p;(j) as the probability
of event E, occurring on exactly j lines of the group.)
Now we are able to derive the formula of the EV of the bet on E
occurring on any line of the group, from formula (18):
M(E; lj, r2,·· .,rm' 2lj,2r2,···, 2rm,· . . ,nlj ,nr2'" .nrm) =
140
Although very important as decisional criteria for a slot game, I
cannot provide explicit formulas with basic variables (such as basic
probabilities and other parameters of the configuration of the reels)
for the probability and the EV of this overall winning event, not
even in particular categories of games; only a software program can
compute them.
Also, due to the wide variation of the payout schedules of the
games, which do not submit to standard rules, I cannot provide a
collection of practical applications and numerical results for the EV
grouped by categories, as I did with probabilities. Therefore, EV for
each specific situation in part is computable directly by the use of
the theoretical results presented in this section.
141
For a fixed value ofn = 1,000 spins, formula (23) returns the
following table of values for the probability of the winning event to
occur m times. The values of p are listed in increments of 0.005,
ranging from 0.005 to 0.05, while for the values of m we chose 1,5,
10, 20, 50, and 100.

Example:
Find the probability of a winning event occurring at least 2 times
in 10 independent games, given that the probability of its occurrence
in one game is 0.0135.
We have n = 1O, p = 0.0135. We are interested in the following
probabilities: P(B2 ) , P(B3 ) , ••• , P(B1o ). Once we compute them all,
we must add them together for finding the sought probability.
P(B2 ) = C j20(0.0135)2(1- 0.0135)1 0-2 = 0.007356 = 0.7356%.
I leave to reader as exercise the computation of the rest of the
eight probabilities and their summation.

and q/ = ~. This latter choice reduces the number of the variables
t)
(one instead of two), following the same aim of presenting tables
instead of formulas .
For the winning events related to several paylines, the variables
of the formulas and tables were the winning probabilities on one line
of various lengths.
For the tables having variables of a large range of values (for
instance, the basic probabilities, which are real numbers, or even the
number of stops, which stretches from 20 to hundreds for the
existing slot machines), to save space, I listed those values using
increments. For such incremental tables, a sought probability should
be estimated through an interval to which it belongs. For example, if
a table lists the values of the variable number of stops t in
increments of2, starting from 20, and the given value of this
parameter is t = 31 ; then we search the table for two probabilities,
one PI corresponding to value t = 30 and the other P2 to value
t = 32. Then, we take the sought probability P as being between PI
and P2'
As I have already mentioned in previous chapters, all applications
can provide us with real numerical results through formulas and
tables only if we know in advance the parameters specific to the
configuration of the slot machine in question.
I did not consider in this collection of practical results the
winning events of slot machines having wild symbols Gokers). The
reason is that such machines are rare, and considering jokers would
double the calculation effort and the dedicated space, and would also
require the redefining and categorizing of the winning events.
A scattered symbol should be treated as any regular symbol from
a probability point of view, searching for the event of having one
instance of this symbol on a payline.
The Mathematics Department of Infarom can perform for you
any particular probability application for any slot machine, through
the calculation service described on its website.

We observe that 50 < 51 < 52.
We look at the intersection of row t = 50 with column c = 5 and
find the first probability as 0.001. We look at the intersection of row
t = 50 with column c = 5 and find the second probability as
0.000889.
The sought probability is between 0.000889 and 0.001. We could
choose for instance P = 0.00095 = 0.095% as an approximated
probability .
Example:
Find the probability of a triple occurring on the pay line of a
3-reel slot machine with 22 stops on each reel and 8 distinct
symbols, having the following distribution on each reel: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3,
1, 1, 1.
We look in the table of section 1.1 three times, for t = 22 and c
having the following values one at a time: 1, 2, and 3 (it is not
necessary to use that table 8 times, as we get the same values for the
same distribution of the symbols).
We find the probabilities 0.000093914, 0.00075131 , and
0.00253569. Then, the probability of any triple is their sum:
P = 0.000093914 + 0.000093914 + 0.000093914 + 0.00075131 +
+ 0.00075131 + 0.00075131 + 0.00253569 + 0.00253569 =
= 3 x 0.000093914 + 3 x 0.00075131 + 2 x 0.00253569 =
= 0.007607052 = 0.7607052%.

1.3 Event E3 - A specific symbol exactly twice
2
The probability of E3 is P( E3) = 3c (t3- c) , where t is the
t
number of stops of a reel and c is the distribution of that symbol on a
reel. This formula returns the following table of values, where the
values of t are listed in increments of 2, ranging from 20 to 200, and
the values of c range from 1 to 7.

1.4 Event E4 - Any symbol exactly twice (double)
The probability of E4 is given by the formula
3(cf(t-c)
=L
p
P(E4 ) 3
I I , where p is the number of different
i= 1 t
symbols of the machine and ci are the distributions of the p symbols
on a reel. For applying this formula, we must compute the
probability of event E3 for each of the p symbols and add them up.
This can be done by using p times the results of the previous section
1.3 .
Example:
Find the probability of a double occurring on the pay line of a
3-reel slot machine with 30 stops on each reel and 10 distinct
symbols having the following distribution on each reel : 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
2, 2, 2, 3, 3.
We look in the table of section 1.3 three times, for t = 30 and c
having the following values one at a time : 1, 2, and 3.
We find the probabilities 0.00322222, 0.01244444, and 0.027.
Then, the probability of any double is their sum:
P = 0.00322222 + 0.00322222 + 0.00322222 + 0.00322222 +
+ 0.00322222 + 0.01244444 + 0.01244444 + 0.01244444 + 0.027 +
+ 0.027 = 5 x 0.00322222 + 3 x 0.01244444 + 2 x 0.027 =
= 0.10744442= 10.74442%.

The probability of E, is P( E, ) = ( cJ + c 3)

, where CJ ' C, ,
Example:
Find the probability of any combination of seven-type symbols
(assume for example that there are red, blue, and black sevens)
occurring on a pay line of a 3-reel slot machine with 48 stops on each
reel, having 2 red, 2 blue and 3 black sevens on each reel.
Take for instance c j = 2, c2 = 2, and c3 = 3 (for any permutation
ofthese values on the denotations, we will reach the same result, as
the probability formula is symmetric in these three variables). We
take C == 2 + 2 + 3 == 7 and look in the table of section 1.1 at the
intersection of row t == 48 with column C == 7, where we find the
probability P == 0.00310149 == 0.310149%.

Example of using the tables:
Find the probability of three lemons occurring on a pay line of a
3-reel slot machine having 90, 90, and 98 stops on eels 1, 2 and 3
respectively and 3, 3, and 2 lemons on these reels respectively.
We have here the particular case of the same number of stops and
the same distribution of the lemon symbol on two reels.
q; = 3 / 90 = 0.03333 and q,2 = 4 / 98 = 0.04081.
We consider Table 2 and look at the intersection of column
q~ = 0.040 with rows q,' = 0.030 and q,' = 0.035. We find the
probabilities 0.000036 and 0.000049 that bound the sought
probability. We can take for instance 0.000040 = 0.004% as an
approximation. For the exact result, apply directly the explicit
probability formula that returned the tables.
Example:
Find the probability of a triple occurring on the payline of a
3-reel slot machine having 10 distinct symbols, 20, 20, and 22 stops
on reels 1, 2, and 3 respectively, and the following distributions of
the symbols on these reels respectively: 1, 1, 2 for symbol no. 1; 1,
1,2 for symbol no. 2; 1, 1,2 for symbol no. 3; 2, 2, 2 for symbol no.
4; 2, 2, 2 for symbol no. 5; 2, 2, 2 for symbol no. 6; 2, 2, 2 for
symbol no. 7; 3, 3, 3 for symbol no. 8; 3, 3, 3 for symbol no. 9; 3, 3,
2 for symbol no. 10.
We have 4 groups of symbols having the same distribution on the
reels, namely: 1, 1,2 (3 symbols); 2, 2, 2 (4 symbols); 3, 3, 3
(2 symbols); 3, 3, 2 (1 symbol).
212
For the first group, the basic probabilities are 1120, 1120,2/22 and
the probability of a specific symbol of the group occurring three
times is their product (according to section 2.1), namely 2/8800.
For the second group, the basic probabilities are 2/20, 2/20, 2/22
and the probability of a specific symbol of the group occurring three
times is 8/8800.
For the third group, the basic probabilities are 3/20, 3120, 3/22
and the probability of a specific symbol of the group occurring three
times is 27/8800.
For the fourth group (one symbol), the basic probabilities are
3120,3 /20, 2/22 and the probability of that symbol occurring three
times is 18/8800.
The probability of a triple is the sum of the probabilities of all
symbols occurring three times (one at a time), that is:
3 . _2_ + 4 . _8_ + 2· ~ + 1· ~ = 0.0125 = 1.25%.

Example:
Find the probability of two cherries occurring on a payline of a
3-reel slot machine having 90, 90, and 100 stops on reels 1, 2, and 3
respectively and 3, 2, and 1 cherries on these reels respectively.
We have q; = 3 / 90, q~ = 2 / 90, q~ = 1 / 100 . The sought
probability is:
213
In the particular case when two of the three reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols, the
f
probability of E3 is P(E3) = (q11 (1- qn + 2q~q~ (1- q:) , where q11
is the basic probability of that symbol occurring on one of the two
similar reels and q~ is the basic probability of that symbol occurring
on the third reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values,
where the values of the basic probabilities are listed in increments of
0.005, ranging from 0.005 to 0.100, and each table lists seven values
of q~ .

Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the example from section 2.2, find
the probability of a double occurring on the payline of that machine.
For the first group of symbols, the probability of a specific
symbol of the group occurring twice is (according to section 2.2):
1 1 ( 2) 1 2 ( 1) 1 2 ( 1) 96
20 . 20 1- 22 + 20 . 22 1- 20 + 20 . 22 1- 20 = 8800 .
For the second group, the probability of a specific symbol of the
group occurring twice is:
2 2 ( 2) 2 2 ( 2) 2 2 ( 2) 224
20 . 20 1- 22 + 20 . 22 1- 20 + 20 . 22 1- 20 = 8800 .
For the third group, the probability of a specific symbol of the
group occurring twice is:
3 3 ( 3) 3 3 ( 3) 3 3 ( 3) 477
20 . 20 1- 22 + 20 . 22 1- 20 + 20 . 22 1- 20 = 8800 .
For the fourth group (one symbol), the probability of that symbol
occurring twice is:
3 3 ( 2) 3 2 ( 3) 3 2 ( 3) 384
20 . 20 1- 22 + 20 . 22 1 - 20 + 20 . 22 1- 20 = 8800 .
The probability of a double is given by the sum of the
probabilities of all symbols occurring twice (one at a time), that is:
3.~+4. 224 +2 . 477 +1 . 384 =0.275681=27.5681% .

Example:
Find the probability of one ace occurring on a pay line of a 3-reel
slot machine having 76, 78, and 80 stops on reels 1, 2, and 3
respectively and 2, 1, and 1 aces on these reels respectively.
217
We have qll = 2 / 76, q l2 = 1 / 78, q~ = 1 / 80. The sought
probability is:
~(1 __1 )(1 __1 ) +_1 (1_~)(1 __1 )+_1 (1_~)(1 __1 )=
76 78 80 78 76 80 80 76 78
In the particular case when two of the three reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols, the
probability of Es is peEs) = ql2 (1- qll f + 2q; (1- q;) (1- q~ ) , where
q)) is the basic probability ofthat symbol occurring on one ofthe
two similar reels and q~ is the basic probability of that symbol
occurring on the third reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values,
where the values of the basic probabilities are listed in increments of
0.005 , ranging from 0.005 to 0.100, and each table lists seven values

In the particular case when two of the three reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols, the
probability of the measured event is
( q}} )2 + (1 - q: ) (2q: + q~ - q: q~) , where qi is the basic probability
of that symbol occurring on one of the two similar reels and q~ is
the basic probability of that symbol occurring on the third reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values,
where the values of the basic probabilities are listed in increments of
0.005 , ranging from 0.005 to 0.100, and each table lists seven values

On a 5-reel 2 x 5-, 3 x 5-, 4 x 5-, or 5 x 5-display slot machine,
any two paylines are linked; therefore we cannot estimate the
probabilities of the winning events related to several lines. For one
payline, all the applications and numerical results presented in the
section 1 x 5 display hold for the 2 x 5, 3 x 5, 4 x 5, and 5 x 5-disp1ay
machines.

Probabilities of winning events on several paylines
I shall consider all pay lines having the regular length 3. The
probability results will not be given in terms of the parameters of
each reel, nor of basic probabilities, as there would be too many
variables that would overload the formulas, but rather, in terms of
probabilities of the winning events on each payline of the group.
Each probability on a pay line of length 3 can be computed in
advance by using the results of subchapter 3-reel slot machines.
Example:
Find the probability of a lemon occurring three times on any
horizontal line of a 9-reel slot machine with 60 stops on each reel,
having 3 lemons on each reel.
We compute first the probability p of a lemon occurring three
times on a pay line of length 3, by using the results of section 1.1 of
the subchapter 3-reel slot machines. We look in the table of that
section, at the intersection of row t = 60 with column c = 3 and find
the probability p = 0.000125. Then, the sought probability is
3p = 0.000375 = 0.0375%.
305
1.3 A winning event on any of the horizontal or vertical lines
lfp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 6
horizontal or vertical lines is approximately equal to
p (25-60p+80p 2 -60p3 +25p4 _4 p 5).
5
F or this result, I used the overlapping method of approximation
(see section Approximating the probability of a conjunction ofslots
events), which is used several times for the next results in this
chapter.
Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the previous example, find the
probability of a lemon occurring three times on any of the horizontal
or vertical lines.
p was already found as p = 0.000125.
The sought probability is approximately
p (25 - 60 p + 80 p2 - 60 p 3 + 25 p4 _ 4 p5) =
5
= o.oo~ 125 [ 25 _ 60 .0000125 + 80 (0000 125)' - 60· (0.000 125)3+ 25 (0.000 125)' -4· (0.000 125)' J =
= 0.000625 = 0.0625%.
306
1.5 A winning event on any of the horizontal or diagonal
lines
If p is the probability of that event occurring on one pay line, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the S
horizontal or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
L(23p4 -11Sp3+ 230p2 - 2S0p + 122).
30
Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the previous example, find the
probability of a lemon occurring three times on any horizontal or
diagonal line.
p = 0.00012S. The sought probability is approximately
L (23 p4 -lIS p3 + 230 p2 - 2S0 P + 122) =
30
= 0.0~~125 [23- (0.000125)4 - 115 · (0.000 125i + 230· (0.000125)2 - 250·0.000125 + 122] =
= 0.000S08 = 0.OS08%.
307
Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the previous example, find the
probability of a lemon occurring three times on any horizontal,
vertical, or diagonal line.
p = 0.000125.
The sought probability is approximately
~ (62 p 2 - 62p + 24) = O.OO~) 25 [ 62 . (0.000 125)2 - 62 · 0.000125 + 24] =

lines
If p is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 6
horizontal or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
p (34 - 78 p + 104 p 2- 39 p 3) .

The next table notes the probabilities of a winning event
occurring on the various groups of several lines of a 16-reel slot
machine (occurring on any line of the group), as defined in sections
1.1 to 1.9 of the current subchapter, as a function of the probability p
of that event on one payline oflength 4, in case A. The numerical
results are either exact or approximations, according to the formulas
presented in the sections 1.1 to 1.7. The values ofp are listed in
increments 0[0.005, ranging from 0.005 to 0.05.

Here I conclude the collection of practical applications and
numerical results for slots probabilities. I have limited it to the most
common configurations of the machines and the most common
winning events due to both space and computability heaviness. I saw
no reason for obtaining and presenting a one- or two-page formula
for just one winning event, which would be numerically computable
only with the use of a software program.
Of course, the general formulas from chapters Combinations and
Probabilities do cover all possible winning events expressed
through combinations of symbols on a payline of any slot machine.
These formulas can be used for a direct computation of any winning
probability, by inputting the parameters of the machine and of the
measured winning event.
As I have mentioned several times throughout the book, any
probability computation or even the use of a table is not possible
without knowing in advance the parameters of the slot machine
under consideration.
Although I have presented some methods of individual estimation
in the sub-chapter How to estimate the number ofstops and the
symbol distribution on a reel of the chapter The Configuration of
Slot Machines, I admit that they are difficult to put into practice by
players. Even in the absence of such data, the tables of values I have
provided in this last chapter give some information on the sought
numerical probabilities. For instance, if we do not know the exact
number of stops of the reels and the distributions of the symbols
composing a winning combination, but we have a clue as to where
they range, we can easily fmd an interval where the probability of
that winning combination ranges. With respect to a player's
own threshold of afforded risk, such an interval may be enough for
an estimation and decision.

"It is as if someone asks you to bet you can jump from
a high place and land on your feet; of course, it is an
advantage for you to know in advance the height from
which you will jump or measure it before you bet, as
you might decline the bet or propose another one for
a certain measurement and this means decision."
