Introduction

History and evolution


Prototypes of slot machines had been around since the 1870s, but
Charles August Fey, a Bavarian immigrant in the United States, is
known as the inventor of the first slot machine. In the 1890s, in San
Francisco, he devised a simple automatic mechanism with three
spinning reels holding a total of five symbols. Called the Liberty
Bell, the machine was a huge success and was so popular that it was
copied by many slot machine manufacturers. Thus in 1907,
manufacturer Herbert Mills from Chicago produced a slot machine
called the Operator Bell. By 1908 a great many "bell" machines had
been installed in most cigar stores, saloons, bowling alleys, brothels
and barber shops.
Other early machines, such as the trade stimulator, gave out
winnings in the form of fruit-flavored chewing gums with pictures
of the flavors as symbols on the reels. The popular cherry and melon
symbols derive from this machine. The payment of food prizes was
a commonly used technique to avoid laws against gambling in a
number of states, and for this reason a number of gumball and
other vending machines were regarded with mistrust by the courts.
In 1963, Bally developed the first fully electromechanical slot
machine called Money Honey, although earlier machines such as
the High Hand draw poker machine by Bally had exhibited the
basics of electromechanical construction as early as 1940.
Electromechanical machines dominated the industry through the
middle of the 20th century. The electromechanical approach of the
1960s allowed Money Honey to be the first slot machine with a
bottomless hopper and automatic payout of up to 500 coins without
the help of an attendant. The popularity of this machine led to the
increasing predominance of electronic games, and the side lever
soon became vestigial.
The first true video slot machine was developed in 1976 in an
industrial suite in Kearney Mesa, California, under the direction of
the Las Vegas based Fortune Coin Co. This slot machine used a
modified 19" Sony Trinitron color receiver for the display and logic
boards for all slot machine functions.

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.

General description and rules


Although the configurations of the slot machines became more
and more complex and varied, the slot game has a simple general
description and set of rules that apply for any existing slot machine.
A slot machine basically consists of a number of reels that spin
independently, on which several symbols are placed in specific
arrangements and quantities, according to the machine producer's
design. The spinning reels are cylinders holding the symbols printed
on a strip applied on their external surface - for the mechanical or
electromechanical machines - or virtual reels for the electronic
machines or computer slot games. Each reel has a number of
positions at which it can stop - called stops - and each stop has a
symbol of that reel associated. The machine also has a display in
which there are windows showing some of the stops - usually one
window for each reel. The spinning device is constructed in such a
way that the reel will show one symbol through its window when
stopping; however, there are variations in which two, three, or four
symbols are shown through one window.
The visible stops are arranged on the display in certain
configurations, usually as a rectangle/matrix. The display also shows
information about the game rules, including unit credit values and

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.

Mathematics and slots


In the last decade, mathematics has been taken more and more
seriously into account in gambling, as being the essence that governs
the games of chance and the only rigorous tool providing
information on optimal play, where possible.
Also in slots, there is mathematics behind the sparkling
machines, whose models and practical applications are presented in
this book. These models belong to mathematical domains such as
Topology, Combinatorics, Probability Theory, and Statistics. I have
tried to focus on the practical applications; however, some
definitions and basic math results could not be avoided, both for
communication reasons and for providing the reader with a clear
understanding of what the practical results we deal with really mean
and how they should be interpreted.

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.

The Configuration of Slot Machines

The design of slot machines can be of any complexity with


regard to both interface and case - and there are quite a few models
on the market that exhibit this complexity. The design has an
artwork component that makes the machine visually attractive and
informs the players about features and rules, and a technical one,
which complies with the rules of the machine and its mode of
interaction with the player. Of all physical parts, the interface is the
most important with respect to the mathematical modeling, as it
shows the machine in action, its outcomes, the game rules, and how
these rules are applied in actual practice. When we talk about the
configuration of a slot machine, we actually refer only to the
technical component of its design that characterizes its interface, in
its essential elements, and relations between them that are
indispensable to a rigorous mathematical model - that is shape,
topology, arrangement, and cardinality.
The configuration of a slot machine is specified by the
configuration of its display and the configuration of its reels. Each
specific configuration together with a set of rules generates a unique
application to study. The mathematical notions and results in this
chapter are not of major importance for the main goal of this work,
namely the numerical probabilities attached to the gaming events of
a slot machine; they are, rather, indispensable for establishing a
terminology base to use consistently in that part of the book dealing
with the probability models, especially when referring to the events
to be measured, and also in the forthcoming literature of this
specialty. This is why you will see more definitions in this chapter
rather than statements or theorems. The number of possible
configurations for various particular designs can also be of interest
for game creators.
Mathematically inclined people can go deep into the notions
defined, generalize them, and try to prove the stated results as
exercise. Slot players without a basic mathematical background
should only try to retain the terms defined, by the help of the
examples and illustrations.

17
Configuration of the display

The display of a slot machine shows the outcomes of the reels in


groups of spots (spot refers to a unit part of a reel holding one
symbol, visible through its window; a spot on the display
corresponds to a stop of the reel; a window can show one or more
spots) having a certain shape and arrangement. It also points out the
ways (rules) the combinations of outcomes can turn into winning
combinations.
The mathematical object that grounds the configuration of the
display is the Cartesian grid, where the grid' s points stand for the
reel spots. Given the limited applicability of the mathematical
results, I chose this model for the configurations of the display so as
to avoid heavier notions and applications from the graph theory.

Lines in a grid

having integers as coordinates on both x and y axis.

In Figure 1, the grid points are illustrated by enlarged dots, for
serving further purposes of illustrating and representing the reel
spots along with the connections between them.
Each point A of the grid has the common coordinates x A and Y A
on the axes x and Y respectively and these coordinates are integers.

Definition: For any two points A and B of the grid, we defme the
Ix I
distance between A and B on the x axis as d x (A, B) = A - X B and
similarly the distance between A and B on the y axis as
d/A, B) = IYA- YBI·

Definition: Two points A and B of a grid are said to be


neighboring if the distance between A and B on both axes is 0 or 1.

Example:
In Figure 1, points A and B, then C and D are neighboring, while
C and E are not neighboring, because d x (C, E) = 2 .

Consequence: The set of points that are neighboring with a given


point A is the set of the vertices of the four squares that are adjacent
in A, numbering 8 points.

Definition: Call the set of points that are neighboring with a


given point A set the vicinity of A and denote it by VA'

A line in a grid is a finite set of points that can be connected


through a path linking successively neighboring points of that set.
Although the line was defined in a sequential manner, which
involves a direction of walking through its points, we are for our
purposes interested in the line only as a set of points, regardless of
the possible paths through which its points can be linked. In the next
figure, for example, are the 12 paths through which four points of a
line in the form of a square with lengthside 1 can be linked,
according to the definition of a line.

Figure 4. The possible paths of linking the points of a unit-square line

20
Given the four points, the 12 paths are generated by the direction
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.

Statement: A fmite subset M of a grid is a line if and only if for


any point A of M, (VA(1 M) - {A} -j; ¢ (the vicinity of A intersects
M in points different from A).

Consequence: A finite subset M of a grid is not a line if and only


if there exists a point A of M such that the vicinity of A does not
contain other points of M except A.

Definition: Point A is called an isolated point of M if


(VA(1 M) - {A} -j; ¢ .

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.

integer. If (X2 - XI ) (Y2 - YI) < 0, call the extension of L (denoted by
L) the set of all points of coordinates (XI + a, Yl - a), with a
integer.

Definition: A line is said to be broken if it is not horizontal,


vertical, or oblique.

In the example from the next figure, line LI is horizontal, line L2


is vertical, line L3 is oblique, and line L4 is broken.

22
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.

Consequence: The marginal points of a set M lie on the "tightest"


rectangle that bounds M.

Figure 7. Marginal and interior points of a set

In Figure 7, the set M= {A, B, C, D, E, F} has A, B, E, and F as


marginal points and C and D as interior points.

Statement: If a point is marginal for M, then it is marginal for any


subset of M that contains that point.

Statement: If a point is interior for M, then it is interior for any


set that includes M and contains that point.

Definition: A line is called transversal for a finite set M if it is


included in M and contains two points from two opposite margins of
M (like upper and lower, or left and right margins).

23
Example: In Figure 7, lines B-C-D-A, B-C-D-F, and A-D-E are
transversal for the set {A, B, C, D, E, F}.

Definition: Given two points A and B in the Cartesian grid, point


A' is said to be the horizontal symmetric of A with respect to B if
YA' = YA and x A' = 2XB- x A. Denote this by s~ (A) = A'.
Point A" is said to be the vertical symmetric of A with respect to
B if x A" = x A and Y A" = 2YB - YA' Denote this by s~(A) = A".

s~ and s; are two functions (transformations) on the grid (any


point has a horizontal and a vertical symmetric and the symmetric of
a point is unique either horizontally or vertically).

Statement: s; (s~ (A)) = s~ (s;(A)) for any A and B.

Definition: Given two points A and B in the grid, point C of


coordinates (2x B - X A' 2Y B - Y A ) is called the symmetric of A with
respect to B and is denoted by C = sB(A).

Statement: s;~ (s;CA)) = sB(A), that is the symmetric of A with


respect to B is obtained by composing the horizontal and the vertical
symmetry with respect to B.

Figure 8. The symmetric of a point

24
Definition: Given a point A and a horizontal line L in the grid, we
call point A' of coordinates (2YL - YA' x A) the symmetric a/point A
with respect to L (where YL is the coordinate on the Y axis of all
points of L) and denote it by sL(A) = A'.
If line L is vertical, we call point A" of coordinates
(2XL -x A, YA) the symmetric a/point A with respect to L (where XL
is the coordinate on the x axis of all points of L) and denote it by
sL(A) = A".


A"


Figure 9. The symmetric of a point with respect to
a horizontal and a vertical line

In Figure 9, point A' is the symmetric of A with respect to the


horizontal line LI and A" is the symmetric of A with respect to the
vertical line ~.

Statement: If ~ and L2 are two lines, of which one is horizontal


and the other is vertical, then, for any point A, we have that
SL, (SL) (SL' (SL) (A) ))) = A, for any i, jE {I, 2}.

In other words, if applying (composing) the symmetry


transformation to a point four times successively with respect to a
horizontal line and a vertical line, we reach the same starting point.

25
Definition: Given a point A and two horizontal lines ~ and L2
in the grid, we call point A' of coordinates (x A' Y1"1 + Y1'2 - Y A) the
sy mmetric a/point A with respect to Ll and L2 (where y~ and YI-'2
are the coordinates on the y axis of all points of LI and L2
respectively) and denote it by s~,~ (A) = A'. Iflines LI and ~ are
vertical, we call point A" of coordinates (y A' X L, + X 1-'2 - XA ) the
symmetric a/point A with respect to Ll and L2 (where X L, and x~

are the coordinates on the x axis of all points of LI and ~

respectively) and denote it by SL1,1~2 (A) = A" .

Observe that if A lies on the extension of ~ or L 2 , then its


symmetric with respect to the two lines is a point on the other
extended line. If A lies "between" the two lines, its symmetric with
respect to them is also "between" the two lines.


An

Figure 10. The symmetric of a point with respect to two vertical lines

Definition: A subset M of the grid is said to be horizontally


symmetric ifthere exist a vertical line L or two vertical lines ~ and
L2 and two subsets of M of the same cardinality, {A' }iEI and {BJ iEJ ,
not necessarily exclusive, such that:
a) M={AitEI U{BitE/;
b) sL(Ai)=Bi or s/~, ,1'2 (Ai )=Bi ,forany iEJ.

26
If there exist a horizontal line or two horizontal lines and two
subsets of M with the same properties a) and b), then set M is said to
be vertically symmetric.

A3 = B3
Horizontally symmetric set Vertically symmetric set

Figure 11. Symmetric sets

If extending the grid to the continuous Euclidian plane, we can


observe that the symmetries of a point we defined are the same with
the classical symmetries and preserve all their geometrical
properties. However, defining them in the discrete grid can be done
only through means specific to the discrete space within which we
work.

Particular lines in a rectangular grid

Definition: A finite subset R of the Cartesian grid is called


rectangular grid if there exist the horizontal lines L1, L2 , ••• , Lm of
m
the same length n, with m, n > 1, such that R = UL; (R is the union
;=1

of the m lines) and:


a) if YI' Y2' .. . , YIIl are the coordinates on the Y axis of lines
LI , L2 , .. . , Lm respectively, then Iy1 - Y1+11 = 1 for any j from 1 to
m - 1 (the m lines are distanced at 1 from each other);
b) if XI' X 2 ' •.. , Xm are the minimal coordinates on the X axis of
lines L I , L2 , ••• , Lm respectively, then XI = x2 = ... = xm (the m lines
are leftlright aligned) .
27
m x n is called the size of the rectangular grid R (which is also
called an m x n-size rectangle or a rectangle of m rows and n
columns).

Figure 12. Rectangular grid

In Figure 12, we have a 3 x 5-size rectangular grid.


Here are a few observations following immediately from the
previous definition.

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.

The several properties of a rectangular grid that may be deduced


from the definition and previous results are of no interest for our
purpose of modeling the configurations of the display, except for
some particular types of lines such a set contains and especially the
number of those lines.
The number of points of an m x n-size rectangular grid is mn, of
which 2m + 2n - 4 are marginal points and mn - 2m - 2n + 4 are
interior points.

28
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.

Horizontal lines, vertical lines, and oblique lines

The number of horizontal lines included in an m x n-size


rectangular grid is men - 2)(n - 1)12. 0 course, we have horizontal
lines of any length included, from 3 to n. Ofthese, m lines are
transversal (these are the horizontal lines of maximal length n), 2m
lines are of length n - 1, 3m lines are of length n - 2, and so on,
men - 2) lines are oflength 3.

8 0 8 24 48 80 120 168 224
9 0 9 27 54 90 135 189 252

Example:
The total number of horizontal lines in a 5 x 7-size rectangular
grid is 75, of which 5 lines are transversal.

The number of vertical lines included in an m x n-size rectangular


grid is n(m - 2)(m - 1)/2. Of these, n lines are transversal (these are
the vertical lines of maximal length m), 2n lines are of length m - 1,
3n lines are of length m - 2, and so on, n(m - 2) lines are of length 3.
We can use the same previous table of values for the total number
of vertical lines, by switching between rows and columns (between
m and n) .

29
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
intersection of row m = 4 with column n = 7 and find 34 oblique
lines. This is also the number of oblique lines of an 8 x 4-size
rectangular grid.

Of all oblique lines of a m x n -size rectangular grid, 2(in - mi + 1)


are transversal (of maximal length m or n).

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.

Definition: In an n x n-size rectangular grid (a square grid), an


oblique line of length n is called a diagonal.

Consequence: If m ;f. n, there are no diagonals in an m x n -size


rectangular grid. If m = n, there are exactly 2 diagonals.

The diagonals in a square grid correspond to the common


geometric diagonals of a square, passing through two opposite
vertices. In the Euclidian plane, any rectangle has diagonals, but in a
Cartesian grid, only a square grid has diagonals (in the sense of the
above definition).

Statement: If n is odd, the two diagonals of an n x n rectangular


grid intersect each other in one point. If n is even, they do not
intersect each other.

sides of any length, which intersect each other and are not collinear.

If m 2: n :
2 ( m - n + 1) ( n - 2) + (n - 1) 2 / 2 , if n is odd;
2 ( m - n + 1) ( n - 2) + n ( n - 2) / 2 , if n is even.

Among these left-right transversal triangular lines, some of them


may be symmetric (corresponding to isosceles triangles).
A symmetric transversal line in a rectangular grid is a line that
links two opposite margins of the rectangle and is a symmetric set,
in the sense of the definitions from this chapter.
Between the two types of transversal lines (which link the left-
right margins or the upper-lower margins), we are primarily
interested in the left-right ones, so in the next sections I shall refer
only to this type.

Statement: In an m x n-size rectangular grid, there exist


symmetric left-right transversal triangular lines if and only if n is
odd and their number is 2m - n + 1 if 2m ~ nand 0 if 2m < n.

Trapezoidal lines

Definition: A trapezoidal line is a line L such that:


a) L = L1 U L2 U L3 , where L1 and L2 are subsets of two oblique
lines, L3 is a subset of a horizontal or a vertical line, LI intersects
L3 , L2 intersects L3 , I~ 1=IL21and:
If L3 is subset of a horizontal line, then min (y A) = min (y A)

If ~ is subset of a vertical line, then min ( x A) = min ( x A)

In Figure 15, example 2 shows a transversal trapezoidal line for


the caught rectangular grid.
The total number of left-right transversal trapezoidal lines in an
m x n-size rectangular grid is given by the following formulas:

If n is odd:
If m ~ (n + 1) / 2 , then the number is (n - 3)(4m - n + 1)/4.
If m < (n + 1)/2, then the number is m(m - 1).
If n is even:
If m ~ (n - 2) / 2 , then the number is (n - 2)(4m - n)/4.
If m < (n - 2)/2, then the number is m(m - 1).

In other words, a line is a zigzag line if we can link its


consecutive points through the diagonals of the unit squares of the
grid, changing the direction with each next point.

Consequence: A zigzag line is broken and does not contain


horizontal, vertical, or oblique lines (as they have the minimal
length 3).

then {Ai + " Ai+ 2 } is part of a vertical line and so on).

The mathematical model representing the configuration of the


display of a slot machine is not unique (graph theory was a second
choice), but the one I chose has a good balance between simplicity,
ease of calculations, and usefulness for our main purpose of
establishing a proper probability model in which to estimate the
probabilities of the slots gaming events.
Even though I presented only those parts of the theory serving
our further purposes, some of them still remain useless with respect
to practical aspects; however, they are necessary for establishing a
rigorous terminology and a base for further definitions of the
gaming events.
Even within this chapter, some statements showing properties of
the defined objects - apparently useless - are indispensable with
regard to the consistency of the definitions following them.
I tried even on this model to make the presentation as simple as
possible by avoiding generalizations. For instance, even from the
start, I took the grid as consisting of points equally distanced at 1 on
both axes, even though a more general grid exists. The mathematical
reason for this particular choice is the fact that we are interested only
in the topological and cardinality properties of the defined objects,
which can be preserved through isomorphisms with more general
grids.
Now let us see exactly how our model represents the display of
the slot machines.
The slot machine displays on its interface the outcomes of the
spinning reels as spots (through the windows) in which we can see
38
the symbols placed on the reels. These spots correspond to the stops
ofthe reels (one spot comes from one stop). Of course, the spots do
not show all the stops of a reel, but a part of them (usually one to
five). A display spot usually has the form of a small square or
rectangle and the spots of the same reel are adjacent in a column on
the display.
Then, all the spots corning from all reels are arranged in rows and
columns, forming a filled rectangle, for most slot machines. This
arrangement is due to aesthetic reasons and proper visualizing of
the configurations of winning outcomes.
The winning outcomes are defined through winning
combinations of symbols that appear on some particular
configurations of spots, namely the paylines .
Now the correspondence between the physical configuration of a
slot machine and our mathematical model is clearly visible:
- Each spot is identified with a point (dot) in the Cartesian grid.
- A group of adjacent spots is identified with a line of the grid.
- The group of all display spots is identified with a rectangular
grid, in which each vertical line corresponds either to a reel (if
several stops of that reel are shown) or several reels (if only one stop
of each reel is shown).
- A payline is identified with a line in the rectangular grid (this is
why I chose the same word line in the mathematical model). The
paylines can be of any complexity for each machine in part, but
usually they have particular shapes, following properties such as
non-self crossing, colinearity, symmetry, up-down or left-right
direction, and/or crossing over the reels. All these properties of the
paylines can be identified with the mathematical properties of the
particular lines in a rectangular grid: horizontal, vertical, and oblique
lines, triangular lines, trapezoidal lines, stair lines, double-stair lines,
symmetric lines, and transversal lines.
This correspondence holds for a slot machine with either physical
or virtual reels.

Examples

Example 1

Display of a 9-reel slot machine with 8 pay lines marked with


arrows. Its configuration corresponds to a 3 x 3-size rectangular grid
and the paylines are all of the horizontal, vertical, and oblique lines
of the grid (all are transversal).

Example 2

Display of a 5-reel slot machine with 15 pay lines illustrated


separately on the display. Its configuration corresponds to a
3 x 5-size rectangular grid. Paylines 1, 2, and 3 are horizontal and
transversal; lines 4 and 5 are triangular, symmetrical, and
transversal; lines 6, 7, 12, and 13 are trapezoidal and transversal ;
lines 10, 11 , 14 and 15 are zigzag transversal lines; and lines 8 and 9
are particular transversal lines of a type not defined in this chapter.

e· . . .

40
Example 3

Display of a 5-reel slot machine with 9 paylines marked with


paths on the display. Its configuration corresponds to a
3 x 5-size rectangular grid. Paylines 1,2, and 3 are horizontal and
transversal; lines 4 and 5 are triangular, symmetrical, and
transversal ; lines 6 and 7 are trapezoidal and transversal; and lines 8
and 9 are particular transversal lines of a type not defined in this
chapter.

The shape of the paylines varies from machine to machine. Even


though there are some standard types that are met frequently
(horizontal, oblique, transversal, symmetric), they can be of any
particularity and complexity, having shapes that were not defined in
this chapter (you already saw some of these in the previous
examples). Some of them can also be groups of spots not having the
connectivity property that stands at the base of the notion of a line in
a grid.
The display can also be of any form, from the most frequent
rectangle to multiple rectangles or other shapes.
As slot game development is unrestricted in any way, we might
encounter various designs and configurations, some of them non-
standard. Of course, presenting those notions and results of the
mathematical model so as to cover all possible configurations of the
display and paylines would fill too many pages and would be a
waste with respect to the main goal of establishing a proper
probability model in which to estimate the probabilities of the slots
gaming events, because probabilities are based only on a small part
of the features of the model of configurations.

41
Configuration of the reel

A physical reel of a slot machine is a spinning cylinder holding


on its external surface the symbols (icons) that the machine uses as
outcomes. The symbols stay on places of equal size called the stops
of the reel. The stops are placed one next to another circularly,
covering the entire circumference of the reel. A stop indicates a
position of the reel after it spins and stops. Each reel has a certain
number of stops, a certain number of distinct symbols, and each
symbol appears a certain number of times on the reel, according to
producer' s design. The symbols are placed on the stops in a certain
arrangement, also according to the design of the producer.
After spinning and stopping, the reel shows its outcome as spots
of the display, through the windows. One display spot can show
only one stop of the reel, but several consecutive stops of the same
reel can be shown on the display.
A virtual reel is an electronic device visually reproducing
a physical reel (this reproduction refers to shape, motion, stops, and
symbols; regarding shape, some devices display a flat reel and
others a three-dimensional image of the reel). The number of stops,
symbols, and their arrangement on a virtual reel are embedded in the
software of that machine.

Distribution of the symbols

Each symbol appears a number oftimes on the reel. Together,


they fill all stops of the reel - that is, the number of stops is the sum
of the numbers of instances each distinct symbol appears on the reel
(if the reel has blanks, this statement also holds, as we can consider
the blank as a new symbol). Here are some common symbols
showing on the reels of the classical slot machines:

42
Denote by t the number of stops and by p the number of distinct
symbols SI ' S2' ... , Sp on the reel. Denote by c1 the number of
symbols SI , by c2 the number of symbols S2' and so on, by Cp the
p
number of symbols Sp. Obviously, Ic;= t and p::; t.
;=1

Definition: Call the vector (c l, c2 ' ••• , cp) the distribution of the
symbols SI' S2' .. ., Sp on the reel.

The distribution of the symbols tells us how many of each


symbol is on the reel.
Given the number of the stops t, the question arises how many
possible distributions of symbols on a t-stops reel do exist, for all
possible values of p. The answer is 21- 1 , which is the number of
compositions of t (a composition of an integer n is a way of writing
n as the sum of a sequence of strictly positive integers; two
sequences that differ from each other only in the order of their terms
stand for different compositions of their sum).
Given the number of the stops t and the number of distinct
symbols p, the question arises as to how many possible distributions
of the p symbols on a t-stops reel do exist. The answer is C/~~I ,
which is the number of compositions of t in p parts. This is the
number of combinations of t - 1 elements taken each p - 1. The

explicit formula of this number is ( (I)-i)! ) (where n! is the


p-1!t-p!
product of the first n strictly positive integers).

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.

If c1 = c2 =... = cp , we say that the symbols are equally


distributed on the stops of the reel. On old classical slot machines,
the symbols are equally distributed one per stop (p = t).

43
Arrangement of the symbols

Given the number of stops t, the number of distinct symbols p ,


and a distribution (cJ , c 2 ' ••• , C p) of the symbols, there are several
ways of arranging those symbols on the stops.

Definition: Let (c J, c2 ' ••• , Cp) be a distribution of the p symbols


on the t stops of a reel. Call arrangement of the symbols on the reel
any function a from the set of stops to the set of different symbols,
I{ }I
such that x la( x) = S; = c[ for any i from 1 to p (that is, the
number of stops having assigned symbol S[ by function a is c; ).

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

Statement: The number of possible arrangements of the symbols


t!
on a reel in a given distribution is - - - - -
c J !c2 ! ... c p !

If the symbols are equally distributed (c of each), the above


formula becomes t! 1(c!t . If additionally c = 1, it becomes tl,
which is the number of permutations of a set with t elements.
The arrangement of symbols on the reel does not count toward
probability estimations, except for events related to paylines that
contain stops of the same reel or complex events related to such
non-independent paylines (we shall talk about them in the chapter
dedicated to probability), but only the distribution of the symbols on
the reels. In other words, for estimating odds, usually we do not
need to know how the symbols are arranged on the reel, but how
many instances of each symbol we have on the reel and their total
number (the number of stops).
On some machines, the arrangement of the symbols on the reels
follows a certain uniformity, that is, the symbols are arranged so as
to have minimal sequences of adjacent identical symbols. There
exist algorithms of placing a given distribution of symbols
uniformly on the reel, with various grades of uniformity. On other
44
machines, W1iformity is not applied, and we may see on the same
reel several adjacent identical symbols. Of course, the uniformity is
the choice of the game developers and has reasons like aesthetics
and randomness sensations, but also the limitation of the
simultaneous similar winning combinations on several non-
independent lines.
The number of possible distributions of the symbols and the
number of possible arrangements of the symbols might be of interest
for slots game developers when designing new games. For the slots
players, parameters t, p and (c" c2 ' ••• , c p) are of the greatest
interest, as they are indispensable for estimating the odds of winning
events.

How to estimate the number of stops and the symbol


distribution on a reel

While the configuration of the display is visible for the player in


all its parameters (number of spots, rows, columns, paylines of each
type), the configuration of the reel is not. A player just standing in
front of the machine does not know how many stops and symbols
nor how the symbols are distributed on a reel. All he/she can see are
small parts of the reel visible through the windows. The missing
information can be acquired from other sources, and the game
producer is by far the best prepared to provide it.
However, the secrecy of the slot companies regarding these
parameters is renowned and thereby makes the slot games the most
unfair of all games of chances with respect to this lack of
information that prevents players from estimating their winning
odds. As all roulette numbers are visible, all blackjack cards are
known, all bingo or lottery numbers are known, why do we not
know also the number of stops and the symbol distribution on the
reels of a slot machine? In this section, I shall present two methods
for estimating these configuration parameters for a given machine,
one based on statistical observations and the other on physical
measurements. Both methods provide us with approximations only
of these parameters, not exact results.

45
Method 1 - Statistical observation

This method is based on the well-known result from probability


theory called the Law of Large Numbers, which states that in a
sequence of independent experiments performed under identical
conditions, the sequence of the relative frequencies of the
occurrence of an event is convergent toward the probability ofthat
event.
Applied to slots, that principle says that if N is the number of
spins of a reel with t stops where we observe as an outcome a
specific symbol S that is placed on c stops and n is the number of
occurrences of S after the N spins, then the sequence (n 1N) N is
convergent toward the probability of occurrence of S, namely
peS) = cit, writing (n 1N )N N~~ ) C / t.
The ratio n I N is the relative frequency of occurrence of S.
It follows that for large values of N, the relative frequency of
occurrence of S approximates the probability of S occurring. The
higher N, the more accurate this approximation.
The Law of Large Numbers states a limit property of the
probability, but no one can tell how large N should be for obtaining
a good approximation of the probability, nor what the error range of
this approximation is for a given N. All we know for sure is that as
we approach infinity, the relative frequency is approximately equal
to the probability.
For instance, if we roll a die watching the occurrence of number
1, at infinity (theoretically) we get that the relative frequency of
occurrence of number 1 is 1/6, the same with its probability.
However, if we roll the die 12 times, even though we expect number
1 to occur about 2 times, it is physically possible for number 1 to
occur 5 times or even 12 times.
Coming to large numbers of experiments, experience proved the
Law of Large Numbers with respect to approximations and more
than that: the relative frequencies become stabilized around the
probability. That is, if we were to roll the die 5,000 times or more,
we would see the relative frequency of number 1 staying close to 1/6
and not junlPing once to, say, 1/5 or 1/7, after those 5,000 rolls. The
same happens with the reel spins and any other probability
experiment performed under the conditions of the Law of Large

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

Recording the occurrences of the p symbols must be done on the


same reel, and, of course, on the same display spot. Blanks should
be considered as symbols and recorded.

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.

As we mentioned, the number of spins N must be large enough


for obtaining good approximations of the ratios c j / t , and this is the
main issue of this method. As theory does not provide us with tools
for choosing N for a given error range, all we have is the principle
"the larger N, the better."
As for a minimal N, although not proved, but confirmed by
practice, choosing N lower than lOt leads to irrelevant results. To
illustrate, if we roll a die say 9 times watching for the frequency of a
certain number and that number does not occur even though 9 > 6,
this would lead to a recorded relative frequency of zero. Of course,
for applying this minimum, we should know the number of stops t of
that reel or at least have an interval for it.
Another recommendation from practice refers to the recorded
(distinct) symbols. First, it is very important to catch all symbols in
the sample group of the N spins. While the ratios ci / t can be
approximated with lower or higher errors, the number of symbols p
must be very accurate, as it defines the symbol distribution on the
reel and is crucial in the probability estimations.
Just as we do not know the exact number of stops on a reel, we
also do not know how many distinct symbols it holds. However,

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 .

As one can easily notice, the method of approximation based on


statistical observation is subject to errors coming from idealizations
and various assumptions, and the error ranges are not even
quantifiable. A more accurate approximation of the ratios cj / t
might be obtained if we could find a more accurate estimation of t.
This better estimation is still possible through statistical observation,
using an algorithm which can refine the raw estimations obtained
through the previously described method. Such an algorithm is
described in the next section.

Denominator-match method

There is slight correlation between the recorded values


n l , n 2 , ••• , n p for various large numbers of spins N. Based upon this
correlation, we can refine the estimation of the ratios c j / t obtained
through the previous method and also find estimations for
(c p c2 , ••• ,cp ) andt.
The current method (called the denominator-match method) is
based on the numerical analysis of the fractions nj / N and on an
algorithm that extracts a sequence of fractions equal to nj / N
respectively, which have denominators as close to each other as
possible. This method provides us with the most probable number of
stops t and associated symbol distribution (c 1, c2 ' ••• , C p ) , in a
certain probability field (the error range of this approximation is
quantifiable in terms of probability).

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.

Assume we established the number of symbols p after N spins


and the recorded occurrences of the p symbols are n l , n2 , ••• , n p •
Step 1: We write each fraction nj / N as a sequence of equal
fractions, having numerators from 1 to ni -1 (this can be done by
forcing first a simplifying of the initial fraction with ni and so
getting the numerator 1, then amplifying the new fraction
successively with 2,3, up to n i -1):
nj 1 2 nj - 1 c. 1
= d i = 7 = ... = ~ ' lor 1 lrom
C •
N to p
J 2 n,-J

Numbers d ; = N / ni' d~ = 2N / ni , ... , d~;_ 1 = (ni -1) N / ni


generally are not integers.
In this step, we obtained p sequences of equal fractions, of
different lengths (n J -1, n 2 - 1, ... , n p - 1).
Step 2: From the p sequences obtained in step 1, we choose the
sequence of minimal length (could be more than one, in which case
we choose any of those):
Denoting by nmin that number nj for which ni - 1 is minimal
over i (obviously, nmin = minn
1= I ,p
i ), we consider the following fraction

and the fractions that equal it:


n min =_1___ 2__ _ nmin -1
N
Step 3: We extract nmin - 1 sequences of p fractions across the
sequences obtained at step 1, corresponding to each denominator
d~nin (k from 1 to nmin -1), as follows: one fraction from each
sequence of equal fractions, namely the one having its denominator
the nearest to d,;n .

51
For each d~nin , from the sequence of equal fractions

corresponding to nj / N (from step 1), we choose that fraction ;~k


C,k

for which Id' - dk C,k


min I= min...ld
j= l,ni-1
j
}
- dk min I, for every i from 1 to p.
The nmin -1 extracted sequences of fractions will be:

Each fraction from these sequences represents an approximation


of the ratio Cj / t and its numerator and denominator are
approximations of C and t respectively. With the next step, we shall
j

decide which of the approximations AI' ~, ... , Annun. _ I is the best.


If at this step we could not find a satisfactory sequence (with
denominators close to each other), it is a sign that N was not large
enough and an increase of the number of recorded spins is needed.
Step 4: We choose the best sequence Ak by applying
successively the following criteria:
C 1: The maximum of the modules of the differences between the
sequence's denominators is minimal:
We choose that k that attends the minimum
.
_mIn
k- l , nmin - l
(m~x Id ' d I)
I,)- i ,p
Cik - Clk
j

C2: The share of the same denominator within the sequence is


maximal. We choose that sequence holding the highest number of
instances of the same denominator.
C3: The repeating denominator with the largest share is integer.
The successive application of the above criteria means that first
C 1 is applied; if after C 1 we remain with more than one sequence,

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

Step 5: We adjust the numerators and denominators of the


sequence Af found at step 4, as follows:
We first check the sum S = Cl f + C 2f + ... + C pf' If
mindif ~ S ~ max dif, we choose t = S (which is integer) and ci = cif

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

the nearest integer to x , and c, = c/ for every i from 1 to p.


These are the most probable values for t and c, .

Observation: In step 3, when choosing a sequence of fractions


across the sequences of equal fractions from step 1, we might find
more than one denominator of the same sequence nearest to d~nin .
In this case, we have two options: the simplest is to make an
arbitrary choice for one denominator and stay with the extracted
sequences AI' A2 , ••• , 4,run- 1 , as described in the algorithm above.
The second is to generate all possible combinations for the extracted
sequences with respect to the denominators that are equally nearest
to d;nin and so enlarge the number of extracted sequences Ak
beyond nm in - 1 and continue with step 4 for them. Of course, the
latter option is recommended with respect to the error range of the
approximation; however, it renders the calculations harder.

The estimation of t and Ci through this algorithm of denominator


matching is still subject to errors; however, in general the error
range of this method is shorter than the one described in the
previous section.
For a better understanding of the application of this method, let
us follow a concrete example. The next example does not
correspond to a real experiment or a real reel; it was chosen just for
illustrating the application of the denominator-match method. I took
low values of p and N just for ease in following the steps in the
example in parallel with the steps of the theoretical algorithm.

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).

Step 3
We look for sequences of fractions having the denominators the
closest to 25, 50, and 75 respectively, across the 10 sequences
obtained at step 1. These are:
A.2 2 2 4 4 2411 1

3 · 75 ' 77.77 ' 70 ' 72.72 ' 72.72 ' 70 ' 75 ' 60 ' 75 ' 75

Observe that for each denominator (d llllin = 25, d; in = 50,


d~nin = 75), there were initial denominators equally nearest it (for
instance, 20 and 30 are equally nearest d llllin = 25 , within the
sequence of fractions equal to n3 and also within the sequence of
N
fractions equal to n6 ). For the simplicity of the example, I chose
N
the lowest denominator each time (See the Observation after the
theoretical algorithm).
Step 4:
We apply criterion Cl. For each sequence AI ' A2 , A3 we calculate
the maximum of the modules of the differences between
denominators, which are:
For AI ' the maximum is 25 - 20 = 5.
For A2 , the maximum is 55.55 - 40 = 15.55.
For A3 , the maximum is 77.77 - 60 = 17.77.
We choose AI = Af as attending the minimum of the maximums.
As criterion C 1 filtered one sequence, we stay with it, having
then no need for applying criteria C2 and C3.

56
Step 5:
We calculate the sum of the numerators of Af , which is:
S = 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 23. We check that S is
between the minimal (20) and the maximal (25) denominator, which
is true. We can take then t = 23, c1 = 2 , c2 = 2 , c3 = 2, c4 = 4 ,
C s = 4, c6 = 2 , c7 = 4 , c8 = 1, c9 = 1 , clO = 1 as the most probable
number of stops and symbol distribution of that reel.

As one can see, applying the algorithm of this method is quite


laborious and the calculations become harder with the number of
spins N and the number of symbols p . The previous concrete
example was easy enough for manual calculations, being an
illustrative one, which dealt with low values of these parameters;
however, in the real applications, we encounter larger values and
this is why a software program for doing this algorithm is needed.

As I already mentioned, any information on t is useful with


respect to the accuracy of the approximation of the ratios ci / t .
Besides the methods based on statistical observation, there exists
a method of estimating t through physical measurements, applicable
to some particular types of slot machines, which is the subject of the
next section.
Regarding the practical application of the statistical observation,
it is obviously an arduous task, since you have to watch and record
spins in numbers of thousands. For online games, software can be
developed to help people in such an endeavor. For physical
machines, it is far more difficult to watch and note down thousands
of outcomes just for one reel of a machine, not to mention that the
slots operator might not allow this action. Of course, technology
based on video capturing might help with such a task, but that is not
the concern of the current work.

57
Method 2 - Physical measurements

This method exploits the information given by the appearance of


the reel on the display. As we know, only a small part of the reel
(either physical or virtual) is visible on the display and this part can
be seen through its window as one or several adjacent spots (usually
3, up to 5). So we can view from 1 up to 5 consecutive stops of the
reel. If the appearance of this part of the reel is three-dimensional
(which is possible for both physical and virtual reels), by measuring
some parameters of this image, we can deduce an estimation for the
number of stops of that reel (t). Basically, the apparent lengths of the
visible stops give full information on the curvature of the reel, which
then leads to an accurate estimation of the entire number of stops,
since the number of visible stops per the circular length of the
visible reel is proportional to the total number of spots per the
circular length of the entire reel.
Of course, this method can be applied only to reels showing at
least two consecutive stops on the display in three-dimensional
view. For these , it is necessary for the revealed stops to be entirely
visible, that is, both their lower and upper edges to be visible on the
display.
The method cannot be applied to virtual reels showing several
consecutive stops in flat image.
Let us see how this method works. I shall present it for reels
showing three consecutive stops, this being the most common. For
reels showing two or four consecutive stops, other calculations and
formulas are necessary if taking into account all the visible stops;
however, the 3-visible-stops method can be also applied to the
5-visible-stops reel, by considering only the three central visible
stops.

Figure 20. Physical reel with five visible stops


58
In figure 20, we can see how a three-dimensional reel appears to
the observer sitting in front of it. The reel appears to himlher as a
plane image, which is the projection of the visible surface of the
actual reel in the plane passing through the observer' s eyes and
parallel with the display. In this image, the stops have apparent
lengths (denoted by h. and h2 in figure 20), which are in fact the
lengths of the projections of the real stops on the observation plane.
These apparent lengths are not equal (even though the lengths of the
real stops are equal), lowering as the stops get far away from the
central one, which has the highest apparent length (h. > ~).
The first step in applying the current method is to measure the
lengths h. and h2 .
We assume that the stops of the reel are marked with lines as
delimiters between them (as in figure 20).
For a proper measurement, it is necessary for the observer to
adjust his/her position, so that his/her visual orientation is
perpendicular to the plane of the display in the center of the central
visible stop of the measured reel. The adjustment of the observer's
position should be made by keeping the visual direction through the
center of the central stop, in the plane perpendicular to the display,
and turning the head up or down so that the apparent lengths of the
two stops adjacent to the central one to become equal (~). When
this position is acquired, the observer may measure the lengths h.
and ~ with any measuring tool lapped on the display over the
measured reel, in any unit of measurement. (As we shall see further,
the unit of measurement does not matter, since the final formula of
the number of stops is a function of ~ / hi; moreover, this ratio,
rather than each of the two values h. and h2is needed.) If instead of
measuring directly on the machine, the observer takes a photo of the
display in order to do the measurement outside the location of the
slot machine, the required position of the observer applies instead to
the position of the camera. The measurements must be done between
two consecutive edges of the stops, so if the edges of the visible
stops adjacent to the central stop are not caught on the display, the
method will not work.
If the stops are not delimited by any marks between them, the
reel showing only its symbols, we can find the ratio
59
h2 I ~ without recreating the delimiting lines before the
measurement:
We call the height of a symbol the distance between the two
parallel lines passing through the highest and the lowest points of
the symbol respectively, perpendicular to the symbol strip, in the
symbol's plane, if the symbol is plane (if the symbol strip were
detached from the reel and laid down on a plane surface). We call
the apparent height of a symbol the same defined distance when all
elements are projected in the observation plane, as they appear to the
observer on the slot machine.

Figure 21. The height of a symbol

If a is the apparent height of a symbol in the central visible stop,


we denote by a' the apparent height of the same symbol in one of the
two visible stops adjacent to the central one. Of course, a < ~ and
a h
a ' < h2 • We have that - = _J ; therefore, once we measure the
a' ~
apparent height of the same symbol both in the central visible stop
and an adjacent visible stop, then we find the ratio h2 I ~ .
This measurement assumes waiting for the same symbol to occur
in both the mentioned positions on the measured reel. As the symbol
we choose for measuring does not count, we can start measuring the
visible symbols occurring on the first observed spin, then wait for
one of them to change its position on the next spins and measure it
again. Knowing the ratio h2 I hJ , we are able then to estimate the
number of stops t.
In figure 22, the visible part of the reel is placed in
correspondence with the geometrical figure representing the entire
reel (the circle of centrum 0), the circular length of the three visible
stops (the length of the arches AB, BC, and CD), the apparent length
of the visible central stop (the length ofthe line segment BC), and
the apparent length of the two visible stops adjacent to the central
60
one, if each one of them is central (the length of the line segments
AB and CD). B' and C' are the projections ofB and C respectively
on AD. Obviously, AB = BC = CD = ~ and AB' = DC' = h2 •

Figure 22. The geometric model for the estimation ofthe number of stops
through physical measurement

With the denotations in figure 22, I leave the geometry lovers to


prove the following mathematical facts:
ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, U =J[ - m ( <!ABC) = w,
~~2 _h 2
sin w = 2 (where m (<!ABC) is the measure of angle
hi
<!ABC in radians). It follows that sinu = ~, where h= hz .
~
Now, if one stop of the reel creates with the center of the circle
an angle of measure u, then the total number of the stops t should be
2J[ 2J[
---;; - arcsin ~ .
Given that h was obtained through physical measurements
predisposed to errors and t is integer, we should take the nearest
integer to the fraction above, So the formula of the estimation of t
through physical measurement on three visible stops is:
2J[
t::::.
arcsin~
61
where h = ~ and II xii denotes the nearest integer to x.
hi
For any numerical computation, we need the value of the
constant n = 3.14159 and a table of values or a calculator for the
trigonometric function arcsine. Such calculators can be found on the
internet or in computational software (Excel works well for
calculating the arcsine , having the syntax ASIN for this function).

Example:
The measurements gave h. = 5.10 cm and h2 = 4.85 cm.
We have h = 0.95098 and

t = I arcsin .J1-21r0.9043629 I = I arcsin


6.28318 I
0.309252 .
Looking for the arcsine of 0.309252 with a calculator, we found
it as being 0.314406. Replacing it in the expression of t, we obtain:

t =I 0~~218:4108611 = 1119.9842811 = 20 stops

As in the case of the previous method through statistical


observation, there are issues with the practical application of the
method through physical measurements. There might be technical
issues regarding acquiring the proper position for measurement or
placing the measurement tool on the surface of the machine. Also
for this method, it is recommended for the observer to take photos
and make the measurements on the photos. Of course, the slot
machine operator might not allow the direct measurement and/or
taking photos.
As I mentioned, the estimation of the number of stops through
this method is subject to errors coming from the measurement (the
imperfection of the measuring tool , the position of the observer, the
marks used in measurement, etc.). The error range of the estimation
through physical measurement is quantifiable, unlike the case of
statistical observation, where it is not. Moreover, in general, the
error range of the estimation of t through physical measurement is
far shorter than the error range through statistical observation,
derived from choosing the number of recorded spins (N).
Unfortunately, the range of the slot machines to which this method

62
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.

63
64
Combinations

The combinations in slots refer to the combinations of symbols


that occur across the reels, on the paylines. These combinations
define the winning events, which are the occurrences of some pre-
defined combinations (the winning combinations) of symbols on the
paylines. These winning combinations are established by the game
producer.
As these winning combinations are defined in a cumulative
manner for most slot games, the mathematical object of
combinatorics describing them is combination and not arrangement.
By cumulative manner, I refer to the numbers (quantities) of specific
symbols necessary for the payline to hold, regardless of their
position on the pay line; for example, one cherry symbol on a pay line
defines a winning combination that has a specific payout; two
cherries define another winning combination. In arrangements, order
does count for identification, which does not apply in our model.

Figure 23. Combination of symbols on a line of length 5

The upper combination of symbols in figure 23 is the same as the


lower combination possibly occurring in a new spin, as combination
does not depend upon the order of the symbols. However, if we take
the stops and not the symbols as the combining elements, the two
combinations are different.
Staying with the same denotations as in previous chapter, each
reel has a number of distinct symbols p (denote them by
SI ' S2' ... , Sp ) and a number of stops t.

65
Any outcome of the machine on a payline is a combination of
symbols, but also a combination of stops holding those symbols.

Assuming the same distribution of symbols on each of n reels of


a slot machine, we have t n possible combinations of stops and pn
possible combinations of symbols on a payline of length n across the
n reels. Of course, not all machines have the same distribution of
symbols on their reels (unfortunately, for the ease of computations!)
meaning also that they might have a different number of stops on
each reel. In that case, for n reels, each of them has its number of
stops t j (j from 1 to n), yet the same number of distinct symbols p.
Therefore, we have the same p n number of possible combinations
n
of symbols and IT t j = tlt2 ... tn as the number of possible
j= 1

combinations of stops for that pay line of length n.


Among these combinations, we are interested in certain particular
types that define the winning events in slots. Further, each type of
combinations we consider will be treated in two cases:
A - All reels have the same distribution of symbols; each symbol S
has the same distribution on the t stops of each reel, denoted by cs ;
B - The reels have different numbers of stops t j and each symbol S
has different distributions on the stops of the reels, denoted by: c~
on reel 1, c~ on reel 2, ... , c~ on reel n.
The particular types of combinations I consider also cover most
of the types of winning combinations of the existent slot machines.
For each type, I denoted by NA the number of possible
combinations of stops in case A, by N B the number of possible
combinations of stops in case B, and by N' the number of possible
combinations of symbols. Numbers N A and N B are important in
the probability calculus regarding the winning events, while N'
mostly concerns the game producers rather than players.

66
1. Combinations holding a specific symbol S

1.1 Exactly one instance of S


Such combinations are of the cumulative form (Sxx ... x) , meaning
that S is on the payline exactly once, on any stop of it (the position
does not count and any x is different from S) - the denotation I made
for this type of combination is illustrative and
not rigorous, for the sake of simplicity. For instance, the multiple x's
could indicate that those elements are equal, while they are not
necessarily ; thus we avoid more complicated denotations with
indexes. With the denotations established previously, we have:
Case A: N A = ncs (t - Cs r-I

Case B: N B= c~ (t2- c~ ) (t3- c~ ) .. . (In- c~ ) +


+c.~ (tl -C.~ )(/3 -c,D (t4 -c~ ) ... (tn-cn + ...
+c~ (tl - c~ ) (t2- c~ ) ... (tn_1 - C~-I) (We move S over all n positions
of the combination (Sxx ... x).) This sum is written condensed as

NB = 2>~ IT (t cn . Note that the superscripts in the formula of


J -

J*i
N B are not exponents, but indexes, according to the pre-established
denotations.
Case either A or B: N ' = (p -lr- I

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

doing the calculations, we get:


N A =ncs(t-csr -I =5.4(50-4)4 =89,549,120
N'=(p-lr - I = (15-1)4 =38,416

Example l.l.b:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, then
symbols, on a pay line of length 3 of a slot machine with 12 symbols,
combinations holding exactly one melon symbol, knowing that we
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
II = 60, 12 = 50, 13 = 50 and c~ = 5, c~ = 4, c~ = 3. Replacing these
values in the formulas of N B and N' and doing calculations, we get:
N B= c,~ (t2- c~) (t3- c~ ) + c~ (tl - c~ ) (t3- c.~ ) + c~ (tl - c.~ ) (t2 - c~) =

N'=(p-lr- I =(12-1)2 =121

1.2 Exactly two instances of S


Such combinations are of the cumulative form (SSxx ...x). We
have:

c~c~ (t2- c~ ) (t4 - c~ )(t5 - c~ ) ... (tn- c~) + ... (We move the two
symbols S over all (unordered) pairs of positions of the combination
(SSxx ... x) and add the analog terms to the sum, which will have C;
terms, each one being an analog product.) This sum is written
condensed as NB = I

Replacing the values p15, n = 5, t = 50, and Cs = 4 in the

formulas of N A and N' and doing calculations, we get:

N A = n(n;l) (c s / (t-C S)"-2 = 5;4.4 2 (50-4/ = 15,573, 760


N'=(p- 1 r- 2 =(15-1)3 =2, 744

c~ = 5, c~ = 4, c~ = 3 in the formulas of NB and N' and doing
calculations, we get:

and add the analog terms to the sum, which will have C~ terms,
each one being an analog product.) This sum is written condensed as

Replacing the values p = 15, n = 5, t = 50, and Cs = 4 in the

Example i.3.b:
In the same hypothesis as example l.l .b, what is the number of
all possible combinations holding exactly three melon symbols?
Replacing the values p = 12, n = 3, t, = 60, t2 = 50, t3 = 50,
c~ = 5, c~ = 4, c~ = 3 in the formulas of N 8 and N' and doing

Observation:
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
three), we have to add the results for 1, 2, and 3 instances. If at least
two and at most three instances (two or three), we have to add the
results for 2 and 3 instances.

What is the number of all possible combinations of stops on a
pay line of length 3 of a slot machine with 18 symbols, combinations
holding at least two plum symbols, given that we have 6 plums on
each reel and each reel has 80 stops?
We are in case A and we have:p = 18, n = 3, S= , t= 80, and
Cs = 6.

We must compute N A (2) + N A (3) for the plum symbol. Using


the formulas from 1.2 and 1.3, we get:
N A (2) = n(n2-1) (C S ) 2 (t- Cs r- 2 = \ 2 .6 2 (80- 6)1 = 7,992

N A(3) = n( n - 1~(n - 2) ( Cs / (t _ CS ),,- 3 = 3 . ~ . 1 . 6 \80 _ 6) 0 = 216


Then, N A (2) + Ni3) = 8,208.

2. Combinations holding two specific symbols SI and

2.1 Exactly one instance of SI and one instance of S2


Such combinations are of the cumulative form (SIS2XX .. .X). For
simplicity, I shall denote the distributions of SI and S2 on a reel in
case A by c1 and c2 respectively (instead of CsI and Cs2 ) and by c~
and c; on reel number k in case B.
We have:

combinations holding exactly one plum and one orange symbol

each reel has 90 stops?
We are in case A and we have:p = 20, n = 5, SI = , S2=

Example 2.1 .b:


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

combinations holding exactly one melon and one orange symbol

the orange symbol on these reels are 3, 3, and 4 respectively?
We are incase B and we have:p = 16, n=3 , S] = ,S2=

Case either A or B: N \ = (p - 2 r- k \-k 2

Example:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, then
symbols, on a pay line of length 5 of a slot machine with 23 symbols,
combinations holding exactly three orange and one melon symbols
( ~) , given that we have the numbers of stops 80, 80, 90,
90, and 100 on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively, the distributions
of the orange symbols on these reels are 5, 5, 6, 6, and 8
respectively, and the distributions of the melon symbols on these
reels are 4, 4, 5, 5, and 6 respectively? What if the reels had the
same number of stops 80 and the same distribution of symbols,
namely 6 orange and 5 melon symbols on each reel?

75
We have p = 23, n = 5, 8 1 = , 82 = ~, kl = 3, k 2 = 1, then in
case B we have tl = 80, t2 = 80, t 3 = 90, t 4 = 90, t5 = 100 ,
ell = 5, e; = 5, e~ = 6, e~ = 6, e; = 8 and e~ = 4, c; = 4, e; = 5, e; = 5, e; = 6 .
For unfolding the sum for N B , we shall take all 4-size
combinations of the 5 reels (which number C; = 5), then within
each of these combination take all its combinations of positions
holding 3 oranges and one melon (which number C; = C~ = 4 ).
Therefore, the sum has 5 x 4 = 20 terms:

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
1345
2345
For subscripts, generate all4-size distinct arrangements of 4
elements consisting ofthree 1's and one 2 (the symbols):
1112
2111
1211
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) +
+ ( 5 . 4 . 6 . 6) (100 - 8 - 6) + ( 5 . 5 . 5 . 6) (100 - 8 - 6) +

+( 5·5 · 6·8) (80 - 5 - 4) + (5·6·5·8) (80 - 5 - 4) =1,495, 616
In case A with the given parameters, we have

=C43C54 .63 .5 1(80 - 6 - 5)5-3-1 = 1, 490 , 400
In both cases, N' = (p - 2 r- k,-k2 = (23 - 2)5-3-1= 21

2.3 Only SI and S2


Such combinations are of the cumulative form (SI ... SIS2... S2) ,
with any number of instances of SI and any number of instances of
S2 (totaling n).
There are n - 1 ways of distributing cumulatively the two
symbols over the n positions of the payline, given by the possible
compositions of n:
1+(n-1)
2 + (n - 2)

(n - 1)+1
77
For computing NA and NB we have to apply n - 1 times the
formulas from the generalization of 2.2 (k l instances of SI and k2

instances of S 2 ), then to add the results.


Denoting by N A (kpk2) the number of possible combinations of
stops holding exactly kl symbols SI and k 2 symbols S 2 in case A,
and by N B (k l , k 2 ) the similar number in case B, we get:
NA = NA1,n -1) + NA2,n - 2) + ... + NAn -1,1)
NB = N B(1,n -1) + N B(2,n -
2) + ... + N B(n -1,1)
Any term of the above sums has its formula provided in the
section dedicated to the generalization of 2.2.
I won't write here the explicit formulas for NA and N B, as they
become overloaded.
N' = n - 1 (it does not depend on p).

Example 2.3:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, then
symbols, on a pay line of length 4 of a slot machine, combinations
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

CII = 2, C I2 = 2, C I3 = 3, ct = 3 and c~ = 1, c; = 2, c; = 3, c; = 2 .
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
by applying the formulas of the generalization of2.2:
N B (3 ' 1) = CIC 2 2 3 2
I c l c2 + C2C I cl cl + C I C 2 C I cl + CIC I C2 C I = . . . +
I 2 3 4 I 2 3 4 I 2 3 4 I 2 3 4

+ 1· 2·3·3 + 2 · 2·3·3 + 2·2·3·3 =114


N B (2 , 2) = CII C I2C23C 24 + C II C22 C I3C 24 + C II C22C23C I4 + C2I C I2 C I3C24 + C 2I CI2C 23C I4 +

78
+1·2·3·3=132
N B (1 , 3) = c11C22 C23C24 + C21C12C23C24 + C21C22 C13c24 + C21C22C23C14 = 2 . 2 . 3 . 2 +
+ 1 . 2 . 3 . 2 + 1 . 2 . 3 . 2 + 1 . 2 . 3 . 3 = 66
The expressions above explain why the number of stops of each
reel is missing in the hypothesis.
Adding them together, we get N B = 312 .
In case A, we have c1 = 3, c2 = 2 , and
N A = N A (3 , 1) + N A (2 , 2) + Ni 1, 3).
N A(3 , 1) = C 43C44 ( C1 ) 3 ( C 2 ) 1 (t - cl - cJ 0 = 4·1·3 3 · 2 1 = 216

N A (2, 2) =C42C 44 ( C1 ) 2 ( C2 ) 2 (t-C I - C2 ) 0 2


=6 ·1·3·2 2 = 216

N A (1 , 3)=C41C 44 ( C1)1 ( C ) 3 (t-C - C ) 0


2 1 2 = 4 ·1·31 ·2 3 = 96
Again, these expressions explain why the numbers of stops are
missing in the hypothesis. Adding them together, we get N A = 528 .
In both cases, N ' = n - 1 = 3.

Thus far, we have dealt with combinations holding both of two


specific symbols ( SI and S2 ) in various instances. Of course, the
formulas yielding the number of these combinations can be
generalized for more than two symbols; however, most of the slot
machines have their winning combinations pre-defined with one or
two symbols. But how shall we calculate the number of
combinations holding at least one of two or more specific symbols
( SI or S2)?

79
3. Combinations holding at least one of two or more
specific sym bois 8] and 82

This application does not pose additional problems, once we


observe that the symbols can be redefined by considering one
symbol instead of the two given symbols: we denote by S] ,2 any
symbol which is 8] or 82' The symbol 8],2 has the following
distribution on the reels:
c] ,2 = c1 + c 2 in case A

c i = c( + c~ on reel number j in case B.


1,2

Parameter p of the machine changes (theoretically) to p - 1, while


nand t (or tj ) remain the same,
Now, with these new parameters we can apply the same formulas
as section 1. Combinations holding a specific symbol 8 for the new
symbol 8] ,2 ' for any requested number of instances.
Of course, we can generalize the problem from 2 to m symbols
(8], 8 2 , .•• , 8 m , m :::; p ), by taking the parameters:
c] ,2,... ,/Il = c] + c2 + ... + cm in case A
cJ1.2 ,....", = c( + c j + .. . + C~, on reel number j
2
in case B.
P - m + 1 instead ofp
n and t (or tj ) remain the same.

Example:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops, on a
payline of length 3 of a slot machine having three bar-type symbols
l!!J!I
l!!J!I IIlJII
( 8 ] =I!!:m , 8 2 =II!JJ] , 8 3 =~
............J,

combinations holding at least two bar-type symbols (in slots slang,


"any bar twice"), given that each reel has 50 stops and the
distributions of the bar-type symbols on the reels are 3, 2, 1 (the
same on each reel)?

80
We are in case A and have n = 3, t = 50, c1 = 3, c2 = 2, c3 = 1.
We define the symbol S = SI ,-,) 3 =(SI or S2 or S3)' which has the
distribution Cs = c1 + c2 + c3 = 6 on each reel. We have the new
parameters: n = 3, t = 50, Cs = 6 .
Now we can apply the formula of N A from section 1.2 Exactly
two instances ofS with the new parameters and find:
N A (2) = n(n2-1) (C S )2 (t-c s r-
2 = 3;2 .6 2 (50-6Y =4, 752

The formula of N A from section 1.3 Exactly three instances ofS


with the new parameters gives us:
N A(3) = n(n-l~(n-2) (c s )3(t-cs r-
3 = 3'~'1.63 (50_6)O = 216

Therefore, the number of combinations holding any bar twice is


N A(2) + N A(3) = 4, 968.

Some winning combinations may be defined as holding several


instances of identical symbols, no matter what symbols, like any two
(double), any three (triple), etc. The number of these combinations
is the subject of the next subchapter.

81
4. Combinations holding any symbol in several
instances

We shall use the results of sections 1 and 2 and the denotations:


N~ (k) and N~ (k) are the numbers of possible combinations of
stops holding exactly k instances of symbol S in case A and B
respectively;
N's (k) is the number of possible combinations of symbols
holding exactly k instances of symbol S;
N~l ,s"" .,S, (k p k 2, ... , kJ and N~l ,8" ..,S, (k p k 2, .. . , k r) are the

numbers of possible combinations of stops holding exactly kl


instances of symbol SI ' k2 instances of symbol S2' and so on, kr
instances of symbol Sr in case A and B respectively;
N'SI,S".,s' (k p k 2, ... ,k r) is the number of possible combinations of
symbols holding exactly kl instances of symbol SI , k2 instances of
symbol S2' and so on, kr instances of symbol Sr in case A and B
respectively (r ::s; p ).
N A (k) and N B (k) are the numbers of possible combinations of
stops holding exactly k instances of any symbol in case A and B
respecti vely;
N ' (k) is the number of possible combinations of symbols
holding exactly k instances of any symbol.

4.1 Any double


Such combinations are ofthe cumulative form (SSxx.. .x), where S
could be any symbol.
4.1.1 If n < 4 (actually, n = 3), for any two symbols, there are no
combinations holding two instances of each of the two symbols, so
we can add up the partial results for each of the p symbols and get:
p

N A (2) = IN~i (2)


i= 1
p

N B (2) = L N~' (2)


1=1

82
1=1

If one of the symbols of the machine is the blank, which is


counted in our model among the total of p symbols, but does not
participate in such winning combinations, we should take in the
above formulas p - 1 instead of p. This convention will apply in all
practical applications of the sections of this subchapter.
4.1.2 If 4 ~ n < 6 , for any two symbols, there are combinations
holding doubles of each of the two symbols. These combinations
must be subtracted from the total, so they will not be counted more
than once. We get:
p
Ni 2) = I N~i (2)- I N~i,Sj (2, 2)
i= 1 I ~i<j~p

i=1 I~i<j~p

i=1 1~/<j~p

4.1.3 If 6 ~ n < 8 , for any two symbols, there are combinations


holding doubles of each of the two symbols; for any three symbols,
again there are combinations holding doubles of each of the three
symbols. Some of these combinations must be subtracted from the
total, other must be added, so they will not be counted more than
once or not counted at all. The tool we use for this exact count is
called the inclusion-exclusion principle for combinations. We get:
p
N A (2) = I N~i (2)- I N~"SJ (2 , 2)+ I N~i,Sj,Sk (2,2 , 2)
1=1 I ~i<j~p I ~i<j<k~p

Such combinations are of the cumulative form (SSSxx ... x) , where
S could be any symbol.

83
4.2.1 If n < 6, for any two symbols, there are no combinations
holding three instances of each of the two symbols, so we can add
up the partial results for each of the p symbols and get:
p p p
N A(3) = LN~' (3), NB(3) = LN%' (3) , N'(3) =L N's, (3)
1=1 i= 1 i=1

4.2.2 If 6 ~ n < 9 , for any two symbols, there are combinations


holding triples of each of the two symbols. By using the same
inclusion-exclusion principle, we get:
p
N A(3) = LN~' (3)- L N~"s) (3,3)
1=1 15kj5p

NB(3) = LN~' (3)- L N ;"s) (3,3)

i=1 i 5i<j5p

4.2.3 If 9 ~ n < 12 , for any two symbols, there are combinations


holding triples of each of the two symbols; for any three symbols,
again there are combinations holding triples of each of the three
symbols. By using the same inclusion-exclusion principle, we get:
p
N A(3) = IN~' (3) - I N~"Sf (3,3) + I N~"S),Sk (3,3 , 3)
1=1 15i<j5p 15 i<j<k5p

Example:
What is the number of all possible combinations of stops on a
payline of length 6 of a slot machine having 10 symbols,
combinations holding any triple, given that each reel has 18 stops
and the distribution of the symbols on the reels is: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,
2, 2, 2 (the same on each reel)?
We have n = 6, p = 10, t = 18, and
c, = 1, c 2 = 1, c3 = 2, c4 = 2, ... , c,o = 2 .
We are in case A and we shall apply the formula of section 4.2.2
p
(any triple, 6 ~ n < 9), NA (3) = I N~' (3) - I N~A (3,3) .
i=' ' 5,i<j5,p

For the first sum, we need NA(3) for each symbol, which can be
found in section 1.3 (exactly three instances of a specific symbol).
Due to the particular distribution of symbols, we have that:
N~' (3) = N~2 (3) = n(n -1~(n - 2) (CS1 / (t - cs, r-3 =

= 6 · ~ . 4 . 13 . (18 _1) 6-3 = 98,260

N~J (3) = N~· (3) = ... = N~'O (3) = n(n -1~(n - 2) (csJ / (t - cSJ r-
3
=

= 6· ~ . 4 .2 3 . (18 _ 2)6-3 = 655, 360

Now we can compute the first sum, which is


2·98,260 + 8·655,360 = 5,439,400.
For the second sum, we need N A(3,3) for each (unordered) pair
of distinct symbols (S" Sj) and we have C,20 = 45 such pairs. For
each pair, NA(3,3) shall be calculated by using the formula from the
generalization of subchapter 2. Combinations holding two specific
symbols S, and S2' for kl = k2 = 3 , namely
NA =C63C 63(C, )3(c2 )3(t-C 1 -C2 ) 6-6 =400 ()3
c1 (c2 )3.
Due to the particular distribution of symbols, there is no need to
apply this formula 45 times. Observe that all 45 pairs consist of:
Group 1: 8 pairs of symbols (S" x) , with x different from S2'
whose distribution is (1, 2);

86
Group 2: 8 pairs of symbols (S2' X) , with x different from SI '
whose distribution is (1, 2);
Group 3: 1 pair of symbols (SI' S2) , whose distribution is (1, 1);
Group 4: c i = 28 pairs of symbols (x , y), with x and y different
from SI and S2' whose distribution is (2, 2).
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
N A(3 ,3) = 400.2 3 .2 3 = 25, 600 .
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.

The formulas I presented in this chapter might seem heavy, but


even though you see here expressions overloaded with indexes, they
involve only basic arithmetic operations that anyone can perform.
The manual application of these formulas requires high attention to
unfolding rather than calculation effort.
The practical applications I presented through the examples in
this chapter were quite easy, for the sake of understanding how the
formulas are applied. However, with the increase of some
parameters like the number of reels or the number of symbols
composing the winning combinations or with the increase in
complexity of the winning combinations, the applications and
calculations become heavy enough to require mathematical
software. As you noticed, the harder calculations are on the side of
case B (different distributions of the symbols on the reels), where
the number of parameters increases significantly (For that, we must
"thank" the game producers, who chose not to keep the same
symbol distributions on the reels of their machines!)
The combinatorial calculus is essential for the probability
calculus of games of chance and so for the slots. As we shall see in
the next chapter, most of the probability calculations revert to
counting numbers of combinations.

Probabilities

When talking about probability, we must touch not only the


mathematical support of this concept, including theory and calculus,
but also its interpretations. This is because in daily life - including
gambling - we use probability as a tool of measuring risk as well as
a criterion for making decisions. Knowing the probabilities of the
gaming events in slots is not just an acquisition of information, but it
can also lead to decisions regarding interaction with this game. Even
though slots is not a game you play against opponents, knowing the
odds of winning can lead you to gaming actions-for instance,
choosing a number of paylines to enable or quitting one game to
play another.
So, having the [mal numbers (probabilities), we must know what
they really are, what their significance is, and how we can rely on
them.
First of all, probability is a mathematical object. Briefly defined,
probability is a measure of the possibility of an event' s occurring.
That is a function defined on a Boolean structure, namely afield of
events, having the properties of a measure - additivity and existence
of a finite value - with values in the interval [0, 1].
The field of events is essential for the concept of probability. If
we define the elementary events (the sample space) and take all the
sets that are unions of these events, we get a field of events, which is
a Boolean algebra with operations U (union of sets) and n
(intersection of sets). Thus, the events can be identified with sets. In
this field of events we can define a probability as a measure taking
values in [0, 1] . This is why "the probability of something" makes
sense only if that "something" belongs to such a mathematical
structure. We can say and calculate the probability of two cherries
occurring on a payline of a slot machine, but we cannot
determine the probability of the sun's not rising tomorrow, as this is
not an event belonging to a field of events as per its mathematical
definition. A field of events together with a probability function
defined on it is called a probability field. An important aspect of
building a probability field is that the elementary events should be
equally possible. Without this idealization, the probability does not
make sense. In practice, the probability field is given by the
89
information we use when doing probability calculus. For the same
literally defined event, we can have more than one probability,
depending upon the probability field in which we frame it and
calculate its probability. Choosing the right probability field for
making the calculations depends, then, upon using optimally the
information we have about the events we measure.
Probability is also a limit, namely the limit of the sequence of
relative frequencies . The relative frequency of occurrence of an
event A in a sequence of experiments is the ratio an / n , where all is
the number of occurrences of A after n experiments. An important
result from probability theory, called the Law of Large Numbers,
states that for any sequence of independent experiments, the relative
frequency of occurrence of event A converges toward the probability
of A. That is, as n is increasing, the terms an / n are getting closer
and closer to the probability of A and are accumulating around this
number. However, the relative frequency approximates the
probability with accuracy only for high values of the number of
experiments n. This is why we have to make a clear conceptual and
quantitative distinction between statistics (dealing with relative
frequencies) and probability (the limit of these relative frequencies).
For example, don't take the results of an odds calculator based on
partial simulations as probabilities, as they are just relative
frequencies approximating more or less the real probabilities.
I have taken this short incursion into the basics of the probability
concept for making the reader aware of its complexity as well as of
its interpretations. Although it is the only objective measure of
possibility we have, we must be circumspect when taking it as a
degree of belief in the occurrence of an event, just because the
mathematical model is something ideal and probability has many
relativities, both conceptual and of applicability. There is a clear
distinction between the mathematical notion of probability and the
word probability we use in the common speech, which we often
confuse with possibility.
For those who want to go deeper into the concept of probability
and study its relativity and philosophy, I recommend the book
Understanding and Calculating the Odds, a primer with many
examples from gambling.

90
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

Any gaming event we shall consider for estimating its probability


is related to the outcome of the slot machine, namely the appearance
of the symbols on one or more lines of the display after a spin,
whether we talk about a machine with physical reels or virtual reels.
Of course, we shall be interested only in those events related to the
paylines, namely those types of events submitting to the pre-
established winning rules of the machine (winning events). These
winning rules are defined as combinations of symbols, and these
symbols are placed on the stops of the reels and an outcome is given
by the stops showing their symbols on the paylines after the spin;
thus we can identify the winning events with combinations or sets of
combinations of stops (holding symbols).
Any winning rule on a pay line is expressed through a
combination of symbols (for instance, the specific combination
'77'7 ) or a type of combinations of symbols (for instance, any
bar-symbol twice or any triple of symbols) and any outcome is a
specific combination of stops on that line. Therefore, taking the
combination of stops as an elementary event in building a field of
events is a natural choice (taking the combinations of symbols
instead of stops as the elementary events would be an error, as they
are not equally possible, since each symbol has its own distributions
on the reels).
Based on such elementary events (specific combinations of
stops), we can express a gaming event of any complexity as a set of
combinations and build a proper field of events for any probability
application. I remind the reader here that the order of the elements
within a combination does not count toward the identification of that
event, as the winning rules are defined in a cumulative manner
(otherwise we would have to take arrangements instead of
combinations) .
Next I present the categories of slots gaming events that are
measurable in probability.
With regard to mathematical structure, we have elementary
events and compound events. The compound events are unions of
elementary events. The elementary events cannot be decomposed in
other events except themselves.

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.

With regard to the complexity of the events in respect to the ease


of the probability computations, we have:

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.

Complex events of type 2


These are events that are types of combinations of stops
expressed through specific numbers of identical symbols,
related to several lines.
For instance, '7 '7 on paylines 1,3, or 5 is a complex event
of type 2 e.essed through "two seven and one plum symbols". The
event on at least one payline is also a complex event of
type 2.

Complex events of type 3


These are unions of events that are types of combinations of stops
expressed through specific numbers of identical symbols (like the
complex events of type 2), related to several lines.
For instance, any triple on paylines 1 or 2 is a complex event of
type 3. At least one cherry on at least one payline is also a complex
event of type 3.

In this work, I focus on the most common winning events, but


also provide probability formulas for a broader range of slots events.
The events for which I estimate their probability are of all types I
define in this section.

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<_}. <
_n ) .
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.

Given a specific symbol Si' the probability of Si occurring on a


j

reel after a spin is q, = ~ in case A and q/ =~ in case B, where j


t tj

is the number of that reel. Probabilities qi' respectively q/ are


called basic probabilities in slots.
For an event E related to a line of length n, the general formula of
the probability of E is:

96
peE) = F(E) in case A and peE) = F(E) in case B, (1)
tn n
ITt)
j =1

where F(E) is the number of combinations of stops favorable for the


event E to occur.
Note that F(E) was expressed for various types of events E in the
chapter Combinations, where it was denoted by NA or N 8 ·
F or an event E expressed through the number of instances of
each symbol on a payline in case A, formula (1) is equivalent to:
peE ) = n! ql l ( q2)a2 ... ( qp)a p
()a (2)
a l !a2 !···a p !
where a1 is the number of instances of 8 1 ' and so on, a p is the
number of instances of 8 p (a l + a2 + ... + a p = n).
Formula (2) expresses the probability in a polynomial field, and it
is denoted by Pen; a p a 2 , ••• ,a p ). This formula should be used when
the winning event is defined through an exact distribution of all
symbols on the payline.

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:
3!
P(3; 2,1,0,0, ... ,0) = - ( qJ (q2)
2 1

2!·1!
We have q, = q2 = _1_ and replacing back in the above formula
20
we obtain P(3; 2,1,0,0, ... ,0) =~.~ = 0.000375 = 0.0375%.
2!·1! 20

97
Generally, if t = p (the case of the first classical slot machines),
I
then qi = - and formula (2) becomes:
t
n!
Pen; a"a 2 , ••• ,a p ) = (3)
p na, !a 2 !. .. a p !
For n = 3 and a winning event defined through one or two
symbols (SI and S2) filling the payline, formula (3) returns the
following tables of values, each one corresponding to a given value
ofp:

Example of using the tables:


On a classical fruit slot machine with three reels, one payline, 22
stops on each reel, and also 22 symbols, what is the probability of 2
melons and 1 plum occurring on the pay line after the spin? How
about 3 melons?
For a1 = 2 melons and a 2 = 1 plum, we look in the table
p = 22, at the intersection of column a1 = 2 with row a2 =1 and
find the probability 0.000437 = 0.0437%.
For a l = 3 melons (implicitly a2 = 0 plums), we look in the table
p = 22, at the intersection of column a l = 3 with row a 2 = 0 and
find the probability 0.000093 = 0.0093%.

99
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

section: F(E) = n cn2-1) (C S)2(t - Cs r-


2• Replacing the given

3·2
values, we find F(E) = - .1 2 (22 _1)3-2 = 63. Now we can

compute the probability of E, as:
peE) = F(E) = 633 =0.00591 = 0.591 %.
tn 22

Another method of solving this ~lication is to use formula (2)


several times. The winning event ( x) can be written as an
union of the events ( ), ( ), and so on, with all
remaining symbols (except cherry) on the place ofx. Since these 21
events are mutually exclusive (we cannot have a 3-size combination
100
holding two cherries and another two symbols), then the probability
of their union (which is event E) is the sum of their probabilities.
In our particular situation, all 21 events composing the union
have the same probability pI, which is given by formula (3) for two
symbols distributed over the payline, with a l = 2 and a 2 =1 (this
result is in the table p = 22): P' = 0.000282.
Then, peE) = 2IP' = 0.00592 = 0.592%. (The slight difference in
the last decimal digit of the two results obtained through the two
methods comes from the fact that that table holds approximated
values (with a limited number of decimals), and the associated error
range is amplified with the multiplication we performed.)

Formula (2) is a calculus tool in case A for the slot machines


having the same distribution of symbols on their reels. Still in case
A, the general formula (1) can be applied, where the calculation
reverts to computing the number of favorable combinations of stops
F(E).
Case A allows the particularization of the formulas in order to
generate two-dimensional tables of probability values, by reducing
the number of variables through fixing some of them (as we did with
formula (3)). However, there are plenty of situations (types of
machines and types of winning events) even from case A for which
such reduction is not possible; in such situations, we have no choice
but to do a direct computation by replacing the given parameters in
the formulas, and for some applications the use of computational
software is really needed.
In case B, the number of variables is even larger and only some
very particular situations allow the generation of tables of values
from the general formulas. Moreover, most of the formulas from
case B would be too overloaded, due to the same large number of
variables and number of terms of sums and factors of products. This
is why we stay with general formula (1) for case B, namely
peE) = ~,(E) .
TIt}
J= I

For particular types of events E, formulas of F(E) (as numbers


N B ) were provided in the Combinations chapter and we can observe
there the same overloading of their expressions. In conclusion, for
101
applying the general formulas of case B, mathematical software is
needed.
I take here one particular type of events for which I present its
probability formula in terms of basic probabilities (as I did in
formula (2)), namely the events expressed through a number of
instances of one symbol (corresponding to section Exactly m
instances ofS in the Combinations chapter). If E is the event exactly
m instances ofS (m ~ n ), then:
P( E) = I II,..
\:5il <i2<.. o<ilfl$n }e {iJ h ·,im }
q~ II (1 - q~ )
I 5:.k 5:.n
(4)
k:ti1 h.·· ·,im

Of course, q~ and q~ are the basic probabilities (the probability


of symbol S occurring on reel number j, respectively k) .
Observe the semblance of formula (4) with the formula of N B in
section Exactly m instances ofS in the Combinations chapter (as
exercise, deduce formula (4) from that formula).
Formula (4) also expresses the probability in a Poisson binomial
field. This formula should be used when the winning event is
defined through an exact distribution of one symbol on the payline.
The expression of formula (4) holds C;' terms of the sum and
each term holds men - m) factors of the two products.
For just n = 5 and m = 3, that is 10 terms of the sum of6 factors
each. That would be 50 multiplications and 10 additions to operate,
not to mention the unfolding by enumerating the combinations of
indexes. And this is just the simplest type of winning event to
consider!
Regarding the number of variables, the lowest corresponds to an
event defined through one symbol, on a payline oflength 3: we have
in this case tp t2 , t3 , then the distributions ofthe symbol c1, c~ , c~,
totaling 6 variables. From this minimum, it is obvious that we
cannot generate two-dimensional tables of values from such
formulas, except when particularizing them very tightly. (In the
minimum example, we have to reduce by 4 the number of
variables!) Therefore, mathematical software for doing the
calculations when inputting all given parameters is certainly needed
in case B.

102
Example:
What is the probability of four oranges occurring on a payline of
length 5 at a fruit slot machine with the following parameters: 40,
40,50, 50, and 60 stops on the five reels respectively; 3, 2, 2, 2, and
3 oranges distributed on the five reels respectively?

We have S = , n = 5, and event E = exactly four instances of


S. We are given tl = 40, t2 = 40, t3 = 50, t4 = 50, ts = 60 and
c~ =3, c~ =2, c~ =2,c~ =2, c~ =3 .
Then, we find:
q~ = 3 / 40, q~ = 2 / 40, q~ = 2 / 40, q~ = 2 / 50, q~ = 3 / 60
Now we can apply formula (4) directly. For the sum, we have to
take all 4-size combinations of indexes from the 5, numbering 5.
Within each term, we have to factor all q-probabilities
corresponding to the chosen 4 indexes and (1 - q) for the rest of the
indexes (actually, one index):
1 2 3 4 (1
peE) =qsqsqsqs 1 2 3 5 (1 1 2 4 5 (1
- qs5 ) + qsqsqsqs - qs4 ) + qsqsqsqs - qs3 ) +

We would obtain the same result if we computed NB as per its
formula presented in the section Exactly m instances ofS of chapter
Combinations, for m = 4, then took F(E) = N B and replaced in the

general formula (1) for case B, namely peE) = ~(E) .

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?

We have: p = 30, n = 5, tl = 56, t2 = 56, t3 = 56, t4 = 56, ts = 86.


Denote by SI through S4 the four symbols having the distributions:

The winning event E whose probability is sought is not expressed


though the distribution of one symbol on the payline, but more (any
triple of symbols, involving all 30 symbols). This is why formula (4)
cannot be applied directly.
Let us first solve this exercise by using formula (1) and the
number of favorable combinations F(E).
The current situation fits in section 4.2.1 in the chapter
30
Combinations, so we have F(E) = NB(3) = IN%' (3).

Replacing the given parameters and doing calculations, we
obtain:

This number of combinations holds for any of the symbols S,
through S4 ' since they have the same distribution on the reels.
Let us calculate now N; (3) for a symbol S of the 26 symbols
from S 5 through S 30 ' by using the same formula from section 4.2.1
in chapter Combinations (the same number holds for any of them,
since they have the same distribution on the reels).

Replacing the given parameters and doing calculations, we

At this point, we are able to compute the 30-term sum
representing F(E):
F(E) = 4·54, 780 + 26 · 353,376 = 9,406,896.

Then, peE) = ~(E) = 9,406,896 = 0.01112 =1.112%.

Another way of solving this exercise is to use formula (4) for


each symbol and add the partial results. We are allowed to do that
because the events Ei = "a triple of Si ", i from I to 30, are mutually
exclusive (we cannot have a 5-size combination holding two triples
30
of two distinct symbols). Therefore, E = UEi and
i=1
30
peE) = ~P(Ei). We have to calculate first the basic probabilities
i=1

q;,which will take only two values - one for the symbols S1
I

through S4 and one for the symbols S 5 through S 30 - then replace


them in formula (4), so actually we apply formula (4) two times and
multiply the results by 4, respectively 26.
We leave this calculation as an exercise to be performed by the
reader.

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

Since most slot machines are designed for displaying several


paylines, players (and also game producers) will be interested in
knowing the probability of winning with a certain type of
combination (or more) not only on one specific payline, but on any
of several or one or more of several or at least one of the pay lines.
Such probabilities are overall probabilities of winning that
represent information that quantifies the real risk better than the
probabilities of winning on each payline.
The probabilities of winning on one payline - discussed in the
previous section - are essential for the probability calculus for
events related to several lines and will be used extensively along
with other properties of probability.
But first let us talk in more depth about the events that will be
measured - the occurrences of the various types of combinations of
symbols on one or more of several paylines - and relate them to the
configuration of the lines, which is crucial for the probability
calculus.

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.

We call two lines independent if they do not contain stops of the


same reel. This, of course, means that the outcome on one line does
not depend on the outcome of the other and vice versa.
Two lines that are not independent will be called non-
independent. For two non-independent lines, the outcome of one is
influenced (partially or totally) by the outcome of the other.
This definition can be extended to several lines em), as follows:
We call m lines independent if every pair of lines from them are
independent.
From probabilistic point of view, any two or more events each
related to a line from a group of independent lines are independent,
in the sense of the definition of independence of events from
probability theory. That is, if E, is an event related to line Li' i from
1 to m, and lines L\ , L2 , ••• , Lm are independent, then:

P( QE,) = P (E, n E, n ... n Em) = P ( E, ) P ( E, ) ... P ( Em)

In the next figures showing some display configurations, you can


see examples of independent and non-independent lines. The
rectangles bounding the dots (spots/stops) of the grid represent the
parts of the reels showing on the display.

108
Figure 24. Independent and non-independent lines in a 3 x 3-display
of a 9-reel slot machine

In figure 24 we have a 3 x 3- display configuration of a slot


machine with 9 independent reels. Lines ~ and L3 are independent,
while ~ and L2 , as well as L2 and L3 are non-independent (for the
last two pairs, the lines have a stop in common).

Figure 25. Non-independent lines in a 4 x 5-display


of a 5-reel slot machine

In figure 25 we have a 4 x 5-display configuration of a slot


machine with 5 independent reels. Lines L, and ~, ~ and L3 ,
L2 and L3, and therefore L" L2 , and ~,are non-independent,
since within each of the mentioned groups we have stops of the
same reel on different lines. In such configuration, there is no group
of independent lines, regardless the shape or other properties of the
lines.
109
An immediate consequence of the definition of independent lines
is that if two lines intersect each other (that is, they share common
stops), they are non-independent, so any group oflines containing
them will be non-independent.
Another consequence is that if two lines are independent, they do
not intersect each other.
If two lines do not intersect each other, they are not necessarily
independent. For instance, take lines LI and L2 in the example of
figure 25 . On the contrary, lines LI and L3 not intersecting each
other in the example of figure 24 are independent.
As I said, on two non-independent lines, the outcome of one
depends on the outcome of the other. However, this mutual
influence is different for the two types of non-independence I
outlined in previous examples - lines for which the shared stops are
the only stops belonging to the same reels (figure 24) and lines
(intersecting or non-intersecting) for which there are non-shared
stops belonging to the same reels (in figure 25, non-intersecting).
For the former, we know that the lines share some stops (in figure
24 one stop, but there could be more than one) that will influence
the outcome of one from another by preserving a certain sequence of
combinations of symbols as part of the outcomes. This is why any
probability of a union of two events, one related to the first line and
the other to the second, is entirely computable given the general
parameters we assumed thus far as hypothesis in this work. For the
latter, the way the outcome on one line influences the outcome on
the other is directly related to the arrangements of the symbols on
the reels, not only to their distributions. Such information was not
part of our probability models because is hardly acquirable. While I
presented some statistical methods for estimating the distributions of
the symbols on the reels basing on long-run observation,
theoretically the arrangements can also be retrieved through similar
methods for some machines (those displaying at least two stops of
each reel), but practically speaking, that is impossible due to the
huge base of records needed. Since we cannot use this information
to build a proper probability field, the probability of a union of
events related to such lines is not computable. I shall call these non-
independent lines for which there are non-shared stops belonging to
the same reels as linked lines.

110
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.

The inclusion-exclusion principle for probabilities

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:
n
pe Al u A 2 u .. . uAn)= Ip(AJ- Ip(A i nA) +
1=] j< i

I<j<k

Property 6 is called the inclusion-exclusion principle and is the


main tool for computing the probability of a union of events. It is
applied as follows:
We consider successively all 2-size combinations, 3-size
combinations, and so on through n-size combinations of the n events
(we have a single n-size combination). We add together all
probabilities of the n events and note down this sum (the first sum
showing in formula (6)). We add the probabilities of the
intersections of the same size and note down these partial results
(the next sums shown respectively in formula (6)). For the groups of
intersections having an even number as a dimension, the
corresponding sum is added with minus (subtraction) and for those
with an uneven number as a dimension, the corresponding sum is
added with plus (addition).
111
Observe that if we assume the events are mutually exclusive, then
all intersections shown in relations (5) and (6) become empty;
therefore, their probabilities become null and the formulas revert to
the rule "the probability of an union of events is the sum of the
probabilities of those events."
If some events are not mutually exclusive (there are common
elementary events for at least two of them), we are no longer
allowed to add together their probabilities in order to find the
probability of their union, which is calculable by using the
inclusion-exclusion principle.
The slots events related to several lines are generally not
exclusive, so formula (6) should be applied in its general form.
It is important not to confuse the intersection of lines (in
topological sense) with the intersection of events related to those
lines (in probabilistic sense). Even though two lines do not intersect
each other, two events defined on these lines might intersect each
other (with operator and).

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).
4
LP(AJ = 4·0.015 = 0.06.
i=1

We have C; =6 of 2-size combinations of events Ai' and


therefore, 6 intersections of two events Ai (A n A2 , AI n A3,
AI n A4 , A2 n A3, ~ n A4 , A3 n A4 ). Since any two events are
independent, the probability of their intersection is the product of the
probabilities of those events:
pe A; n Aj ) = P(AJP(A j ) = 0.015 · 0.015 = 0.000225 , for every

112
1 ::; i < j ::; 4 . Hence the second sum from formula (6) is
6·0.000225 = 0.00135 .
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:

P( QA, ) = 0.06 - 0.00135 + 0.0000135 - 0.000000050625 =

= 0.05866344 = 5.866%.

If in our example the reels had different distributions of symbols


(case B), we would have had to compute the probability of each
intersection in part and add them together for each partial sum.
While we were in case A, the multiplication saved us from this extra
effort.
As we can see, for applying the inclusion-exclusion principle, we
need the probabilities of the events composing the union, which are
probabilities of events related to one line and can be computed as
per the formulas of the subchapter The general formulas of the
probability of the winning events related to one payline, and the
probabilities of their intersections. If the lines on which we defined
the events are independent, the probability of any intersection can be
113
computed simply as the product of the probabilities of the events
intersecting, as was the case in the previous example. If at least two
of the lines are not independent, we can no longer multiply the
probabilities and we must compute the probability of the intersection
in a different probability field, which is harder work, especially due
to the significant increase in size of the combinations representing
the new elementary events. Such direct computation can be avoided
through the use of the approximations.

Approximations

In calculus, approximations are justified when the methods of


approximating used provide approximations accurate enough for the
proposed goal. The main reason for appealing to approximations
could be that the volume of work for a direct computation is too
high, the exact computation is impossible due to lack of information,
or the application of the theory leads to overloaded expressions and
formulas requiring software for a safe calculation.
In the probability calculus of gambling, approximations are
useful and justified in every application where direct computation
poses problems requiring extra time, resources, and effort. The
justification comes from the fact that the goal of providing
numerical probability results for the various gaming situations is not
exclusively informative. These numerical results are evaluated and
weighted by players as a measure for risk and criteria for gaming
decisions, so they are related to subjective
ranges rather than used as exact values.
In other words, we do not need to know the exact numerical
value of a probability, but how high is it or whether it is higher or
lower than the probabilities of other events to which we relate it. For
example, in Hold' em Poker, if you achieve a valuable card
formation by river, you will be interested in how high the
probability is that at least one opponent has achieved a higher card
formation, and it is not the same for you if this probability is over
60% or under 20% - if it is over 70%, for instance, you might fold.
Or, at lottery, it might be the same for you if the overall probability
of winning with a ticket holding several lines is 1.2% or 1.3%.

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)
n
P(AI uA 2 u ... uAn) = LP(AJ- LP(A, nA j )+

;= 1

Since the maximal value of3% of the winning probability (for


which the error range of ±0.02 is unsatisfactory for any odds
approximations in slots) was obtained under hypotheses derived
fTom practice (the particular case of a machine with possibly the
lowest number of stops ever, common winning rules that might be
also subject to change in the future) and also for the sake of
generality (for the results I present to be applied not only to winning
events, but to a broader range of slots events), I shall present two
methods of approximation that provide results more accurate than
the raw approximation mentioned earlier (of ignoring the
probabilities of the intersections).
In slots probability applications, approximations would be
necessary in two situations: when applying the inclusion-exclusion
principle and when estimating the probability of an intersection
(conjunction) of events.
Since the main part of formula (6) consists of probabilities of
intersections, I shall start with them.
116
Approximating the probability of a conjunction of slots
events

Formally, if A, is the event "occurrence of combination C on


line Li ", we need a method of approximating P ( AI n A2 ) , or in
general P ( AI n A2 n ... n An) , as a function of
P(At), P( A2 ) , •• • , P( ~ ) and other parameters.
Obviously, such a method is necessary for the situation in which
the lines L, are non-independent, as otherwise the probability of the
intersection of events Ai would be the product of their probabilities.
The lines Li are assumed to be intersecting lines with the shared
stops as the only stops belonging to the same reels, as we found that
for the other type of non-independent lines (linked lines) the
probability of the conjunction is not computable due to the lack of
information regarding the symbol arrangements on the reels.
The approximation method I present in this section is linear and
based on the fact that the probability of the conjunction of two
events AI and ~ increases with the number of shared stops of the
two lines LI and ~ . For finding two bounds for this probability, we
take hypothetically the trivial case where the two lines share no
stops, and therefore they are independent, and the trivial case where
they share the maximal number of stops, namely min(l(~) , I(L2)) '
so one (the shortest) is included in the other. Of course, these cases
do not exist, as we work out here the probability of a conjunction of
events on two lines intersecting each other and not separated
(independent) or overlapped. Such cases were considered just
theoretically, for finding two bounds of the value that is subject to
approximation.
Let PI = P( AI) and P2 = P( A2) and let m be the number of the
stops shared between lines ~ and ~ (0::; m ::; min (ILl I,IL 1)).
2

In the hypothetical case where m = 0, the probability of the


conjunction is P (AI n A2) = PIP2, as AI and A2 are independent.
This relation holds in either case A or B (the symbols have the same

117
distribution or not on the reels). Hence P]P2 is the left-side bound of
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 ~) :

P]P2 < P(A] n~) < max (PI' P2)


Now we are able to apply the linear approximation, by
considering parameter m:
If for m = 0 we have P(A] nA2 ) = P]P2 and for

m = min(IL]I , IL2 1) we have P(A, n ~) =max(p" P2)' then in


general, if the two lines share m stops:
(
P A] n A2 - P]P2 +
)_ m[ max(p], P2) - P]P2]
. (I 1.. I, IL2 I) (7)
mm
Observe that in the particular case A with two lines of the same
length I, we have p] = P2 = P and formula (7) is written as:
m(p- p 2)
P (A] n A2) ::::: p 2 + (8)
1

All previous results can be generalized from 2 to n lines sharing


m stops (any two lines share the same m stops) and the relation
giving the approximation of the conjunction of the events becomes:

In the particular case A with n lines of the same length 1, formula
(9) becomes:

P(OA,J~ p"+ m(p; p") (10)

We also have the case where the lines of the group do not share
the same stops and any two lines share different numbers of stops.
Let m ij be the number of the stops shared by lines Li and Lj' with
1 ~ i < j ~ n . Of course, we have C~ numbers mij and
o~ m ij ~ min(ILkl)k=I,n. In this case, we have a similar
approximation given through a formula similar to (9), where m is
replaced by the arithmetic mean of numbers mij :

In the particular case A with n lines of the same length I, formula
(11) becomes:

(12)

The approximating method presented in this section is called the


overlapping method. As one can see, the parameters needed for the
application of the formula of approximation are: the probabilities of
the gi ven (type of) combination of symbols on each of the lines
participating at the conjunction, the number of shared stops, and the
length of the shortest line.
The approximations of the conjunctions of the events on several
lines are needed for the application of the inclusion-exclusion
principle, through which the probability of their disjunction (union)
is estimated.

119
Examples of application:

1. Approximate the probability ofthe same combination of


symbols C occurring simultaneously on the two lines of a 12-reel
slot machine, as in the next figure, given that the probability of C
occurring on line LI is 0.0087 and on line L2 is 0.0095:

The two events in conjunction are:


AI - occurrence of C on line LI
A2 - occurrence of C on line ~

We want to approximate P(AI (\ A2) by the method explained in


this section.
I
The two lines share m = 1 stop and have the lengths ILl = 3 and
IL21= 4. We are given PI = 0.0087
and P2 = 0.0095 .
We have now all parameters needed for applying formula (7):
m [ max (Pi' P2) - P1P2]
P (AI (\ A2) ::::: PIP2+ . (I I I I)
mm L1 , L2
= 0.0087·0.0095 +
+ 1(0.0095 - 0.0087 . 0.0095) = 0.00322 .
3
If we continue with finding the probability of combination C
occurring on at least one of lines Ll and L2 , we must apply formula
(5), by using the previous result:
P(AI uA 2) = P(A j )+P(A2)-P(A j IlA 2):::::
::::: 0.0087 + 0.0095 - 0.00322::::: 0.01498

120
2. Approximate the probability of the same combination of
symbols C occurring simultaneously on the three lines of a 16-reel
slot machine, as in the next figure (one horizontal and two
trapezoidal transversal lines), given that the probability of C
occurring on line LI is 0.00043 , on line L2 is 0.00035 , and on line
L3 is 0.00021:

The three events in conjunction are:


AI - occurrence of C on line LI
A2 - occurrence of C on line L2
A3 - occurrence of C on line L3
We want to approximate P( AI n A2 n A3 ) by the method
explained in this section.
The three lines shares the same m = 2 stops and have the lengths
ILII =IL21=IL31=4. We are given PI =0.00043, P2 = 0.00035, and
P3 = 0.00021 .
We have now all parameters needed for applying formula (9) for
n = 3:

.0.00021 + 2(0.00043 - 0.00043·0.00035·0.00021) :::: 0.000215 .


4

121
If we continue with finding the probability of combination C
occurring on at least one of lines LI , L2 , and L3 , we must also
estimate P( AI n ~) , P( AI n A3 ) , and P( A2 n AJ before applying
formula (6), and this can be done by using the same approximating
method described in this section.

3. Consider again example 1 with the same data and the


trapezoidal line L3. If the probability of C occurring on line L3 is
0.0125 , approximate the probability of C occurring simultaneously
on the three lines ~ , L2' and L3 .

We are in the case where the lines share different numbers of


stops, as follows: m l 2 = 1, ml 3 = 0, m23 = 2. We apply formula (11):

J_IT 2 I mij[max(Pk)k=G - [Ipk]

3·2 · 3
= 0.00416735.

Once we are able to estimate the probability of any conjunction


of events related to several lines, we can apply the inclusion-
exclusion principle (formula (6» for estimating the probability of
any disjunction (union) of events. In tum, the result provided by
formula (6) can be subject to approximation, as we shall see in the
next section.

122
Approximating the probability of a disjunction of slots events

The sums of probabilities of intersections shown in the right-hand


member of formula (6) could have large numbers of terms (when the
machine has a large number of pay lines), or some of them could be
incomputable (I refer here to intersections of events on linked lines).
As an example for the numbers of terms, if the machine has 3
paylines, those sums from the right-hand member of formula (6) has
only 3 and 1 terms (totaling 4), for 5 paylines they have 10, 10, 5,
and 1 terms (totaling 26), but for a machine with 15 lines they have
105, 455 , 1365, 3003 , 5005, 6435, 6435, 5005 , 3003 , 1365, 455 ,
105, 15,1 (totaling 32,752)! This means that we need to compute
32,752 probabilities of conjunctions before directly applying
formula (6)! This is why a method of approximation is needed in
order for the application of the inclusion-exclusion principle to be
practicably workable.
The purpose of this method is to provide an estimation of the
probability of a union of events when we know the partial
probabilities, by using a mathematical approximation based on the
algebraic form of the inclusion-exclusion principle.
This approximation consists of a calculation/approximation for a
limited number of terms appearing in the right-hand member of the
formula (6), finding an interval for the exact probability, and then
narrowing this interval successively for a more accurate estimation.

AO approximation
An immediate consequence of formula (6) is the following
inequality:

P(A) '; P(QA,J,; tp(A,),for every j from 1 to n, which tells us


that the probability of the union is higher than each partial
probability and lower than their sum.
Then, by taking the maximum over the partial probabilities, we
find an approximation interval for the probability of the union:

IJ!e P(A) '; P(QA} tp(A,)


All that we know at this moment is that the probability of the
union is between the maximal partial probability and the sum of the
123
partial probabilities. Of course, this interval can be of any length,
depending on the particular situation in which the method is applied.
Sometimes, the approximation interval itself may be sufficient to
evaluate the probability of the union. For instance, if we found the
approximation interval to be (0.002, 0.003), we definitely can say
that the probability is tightly bounded and relevant, since the
extremes of the interval are so close to each other. However, if we
found the approximation interval as being (0.001 , 0.025), a more
accurate estimation is needed.
Many times we need a single value, not two, for a probability, in
order to complete further calculations that use it. An immediate
approximation of the searched value is to take the middle of the
approximation interval - in other words, the arithmetic mean of its
extremes.
In our examples, we could take (0.002 + 0.003)/2 = 0.25% and
(0.001 + 0.025 )12 = 1.3% respectively, as approximations for the
probability of the union.
Generally, we could approximate the probability of the union
through the formula:
n

P( UA;J: : ~axP(A) + Ip(A;)


n
i- I , n ;=1
(13)
;=1 2
Obviously, such approximation is the roughest possible and may
not be satisfactory if the length of the approximation interval is
great.
This type of approximation is designated as the AO type.

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.

We have that the maximal partial probability is 0.0098 and the


sum of the partial probabilities is 0.023. Replacing them in formula
(11) of the approximation AO we get
P( U A;J:::: 0.0098+0.023 =1.64%.
;= 1 2

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:

p( ~ A; J=tp(A;)-',+ ') - '4+ ... + (-1)'", where numbers "


are positive amounts representing the sums of the probabilities of
2-size, 3-size, .. ., and n-size intersections of events A" respectively
(do not confuse these with the numbers of stops, also denoted with
t). Numbers t; are added in the formula with alternating signs,
minus for even i's and plus for uneven i's.
Owing to probability properties, we find that t2 ;? t3 ;? t4 ;? ... ;? tn .
1. If t2 is easily calculable and t3 to tn are not, once we
calculated t 2 , due to the inequality

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)

This type of approximation is designated as the A 1 type.


2. If t2 and t3 are easily calculable and t4 to tn are not, and the
AO approximation interval is considered too large, we can narrow it

as follows: t,P(A;) - ', ,; p(QA,)'; t,P(A;) - ', +',.

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'
Again, we can approximate the probability of the union through
the arithmetic mean of the new extremes:

p( ~A
n J"" ~P(A, )-
n
t2 +
t
~ (15)

This type of approximation is designated as the A2 type.


3. If t 2 ' t 3 , and t 4 are easily calculable and ts to tn are not, and
the AO and Al approximation intervals are considered as too large,
we can narrow them as follows:

t P( AJ - t2 + t 3 - t4 ::; P ( QA ) ::; t P( AJ - 12 + t 3

Thus, the right-hand extreme of the approximation interval


remains the same as of A2 and the left-hand extreme gets closer to it
with t4 .
Again, we can approximate the probability of the union through
the arithmetic mean of the new extremes:

P( ~ A
n J"" ~P(A;)- t2+t3- t~
n
(16)

This type of approximation is designated as the A3 type.

We can continue similarly with approximations A4 upward if we


are not satisfied with the approximation intervals we have found,
and if next terms ±( are easily calculable.
As we calculate more terms ±t" the approximation interval
narrows with i and we obtain a more accurate estimation with each
step.
For illustrating how these approximations work, see the next
diagram, where the numbers t j with their signs means the successive
operations performed upon the sum of the partial probabilities, and
10 , Ii' 12 , 13,14 are the approximation intervals corresponding to
each approximation.

Example:
On a 25-reel slot machine with a 5 x 5 display and the same
distribution of symbols on the reels, estimate the probability of a
given combination C occurring on at least one of the transversal
horizontal, vertical, and oblique lines (totaling 12), given that the
probability of C occurring on a line is 0.0078.

In the next figure, the considered lines are denoted by ~ through


L1 2 , as shown:

ls . .1----41. .---4

19 _ --1

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:

P(QA,)~ t,P(A,)-~ ~ 12 ·0.0078- 0.07~2156 ~ 0.055992.


The probability of C occurring on at least one of the 12 lines is
about 5.6%.

129
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

In gambling, probabilities are associated with stakes in order to


predict an average future gain or loss.
This predicted future gain or loss is called expectation or
expected value (abbreviated as EV) and is the sum of the probability
of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by its payoff
(value). Thus, it represents the average amount one expects to win
per bet if bets with identical odds are repeated many times.
A game or situation in which the expected value for the player is
zero (no net gain nor loss) is called a/air game. The attribute/air
refers not to the technical process of the game, but to the balance of
the chance of making profit between house and player.
For example, an American roulette wheel has 38 equally possible
outcomes. Assume a bet placed on a single number pays 35-to-l
(this means that you are paid 35 times your bet and your bet is
returned, so you get back 36 times your bet). So, the expected value
of the profit resulting from a one-dollar repeated bet on a single
number is:

(-$I X ~~ ) +( $35x 318) ' which is about - $0.05 .


130
Therefore one expects, on average, to lose over five cents for
every dollar bet.
For a one-dollar bet on heads at a coin flip (win $1 and your bet
is returned if heads comes up, and lose the bet if not), the expected

value is: (- $1 X ~) + ($1 X ~) = 0 , so this is a fair game.

The mathematical expectation (expected value) is defined as


follows:
If X is a discrete random variable with values Xi and
corresponding probabilities Pi' i E I , the sum or sum of series (if
convergent) M(X) = LXi · Pi is called mathematical expectation,
lei

expected value or mean of variable X.


So, the mathematical expectation is a weighted mean, in the sense
ofthe defmition given above. It terms of gambling, this value means
the amount (positive or negative) that a player should expect, if
performing the same type of experiment (game or gaming situation)
under identical conditions and by making the same bet, via
mathematical probability.
The expected value being negative is a sign that that bet will be
profitable for the house, by ensuring its house edge. Therefore, slot
producers create their payout schedule for a machine so that every
expected value of the winning combinations they offer will be
negative.
As the probability should not be interpreted as an absolute degree
of certainty - for instance, if a winning event has a probability of 1
in 1,000, this does not mean that we cannot win that bet in, say, 10
games instead of 1,000 - also the negative expected value should
not be interpreted as a sure ruin for the player. In fact, this is the
essence of gambling - looking for breaks in the regularities stated by
the laws of probability, which physically are possible.
Expected value is a notion of an ideal model; it is both a limit and
a mean and actually refers to infinity (because infinity is embedded
in the notion of probability as a limit of a sequence). That is, if we
were to place the same bet an infinite number of times, the profit we
would make is based upon the formula of the definition.
In practice, expected value is a statistical parameter assigned to
every bet that has a computable probability and a payout, even

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.

The general formulas ofEV in slots

Let E be a simple winning event. Let us use the following


denotations:
s is the credit unit value of the machine, as a real number (this is
the value of a coin or chip paid for a spin; it could be $0.01 , $0.05 ,
$0.1 , $1 , etc.);
r is the payout rate, that is, the coefficient that s is multiplied with
for the machine to return the prize in case E occurs (the returned
prize is sr); r is a function of E (r = r(E)) and usually takes values
that are positive integers; cornmon values ofr are: 2, 3, 5, 10, 20,
50, 100, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 5,000, 8,000, 10,000.
P is the probability of E (p = P(E)).

s and r are pre-established parameters of the machine, showing


on its display, while p is to be found or computed.
A bet on event E shall be denoted by (E, r) and represents the bet
that the player places with stake s by spinning the machine once. We
shall denote the expected value of the profit of bet (E, r) by M(E, r).
For a simple event E (see subchapter Slots gaming events ofthe
current chapter for the definition of a simple event) with a unique
payout rate r, we have:

M(E, r) = s(pr - 1) (17)

This formula can be applied for any winning combination that


does not include other winning combinations having different
payout rates.

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.

The winning event E is the occurrence of exactly two cherries on


the three reels and has the probability p = 0.01909722. You can find
this number by using the table of the section 1.3 Event E3 - A
specific symbol exactly twice of the subchapter 3-reel slot machines
of chapter Practical Applications and Numerical Results for t = 60
and c = 5 (or computing it directly by using the corresponding
formulas from chapter Combinations and the current chapter).
We have s = $0.1 and r = 20.
The assumption that the game does not have winning
combinations with exactly one instance of another symbol ensures
the unique payout rate r of the bet (otherwise, the winning
combinations holding two cherries would include such winning
combinations holding one other symbol, for instance (• . , 7), if
( '7 any !!!Y) is winning, which assumes two payout rates, namely
r for the two cherries and another for one red seven).
Now we can apply formula (17) and get:
M(E, r) = s(pr - 1) = $0.1(0.01909722 x 20 - 1) = - $0.06182.
Thus, one can expect to lose on average about 6 cents on every
such 10-cent bet in long-run play.

Making the convention of a non-currency unit credit of one


(s = 1), formula (17) returns the following table of values for the
EV. The values of p are listed in increments of 0.005, ranging from
0.005 to 0.05, while for the values of r we chose 10,20, 50, 100, and
1,000. For a specific credit and currency, the real EV is found by
multiplying the corresponding value from the table with the real unit
credit.

Of course, non-negative EV s showing in this table actually are


not associated with existing machines (for a given payout rate, the
game producer will choose the parameters of the configuration of
that machine so as to obtain probabilities of winning that lead to a
negative EV).

Example of using the table:


Find the EV of a bet on a winning combination that has a payout
rate of 50 and a probability of 1.25%, if the unit credit is $0.05.
We look at intersection of row p = 0.0125 with column r = 50
and find - 0.375. Then, the EV is - 0.375 x $0.05 = -$0.01875.

136
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

exclusive and E =UEi , with n > 1 positive integer), Pi = P(Ei ) , lj


i='
is the payout rate of Ei for every i from 1 to n, and s is the unit
credit, then the following formula holds for the expected value of a
bet on this event, denoted by M(E; 1'j , r2 , • • • , rn ):

M(E; r"r" ... ,r" ) ~ s(t,p,r, -1) (18)

This formula can be applied for any winning combination that


includes other winning combinations with different payout rates. In
order to apply it, we must first decompose the winning event in a
partition of winning events (simple or complex) having unique
payout rates.

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.

Denoting by E the winning event, by E, the event of three


melons occurring, by E2 the event of three plums occurring, and by
E3 the event of any combination of melons and plums occurring, we
have that E" E2 , E3 form a partition of E, as they are mutually
exclusive and E = E, U E2 U E3.
We have: s = $0.1 , r, = 500, r2 =100, r3 = 50
p, = 0.00024414, P2 = 0.00042188, P3 = 0.000644531

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.

EV can be also expressed for winning events related to several


paylines (complex events of type 2 or 3), through a formula derived
from formula (18).
If the winning event E which we bet on is defined through a
winning combination of symbols C with an unique payout rate r
occurring on any line of a group of n paylines, we choose the
following partition of E into n events:
EI is the event "C occurs on exactly one payline of that group";
E2 is the event "C occurs on exactly two paylines of that group";
and so on,
En is the event "C occurs on all n paylines of that group";
Of course, that group might hold all paylines of that slot machine.
The payout rate of EI is r, of E2 is 2r, and so on, of En is nr.
Denoting the probabilities by P(I) = P(E I) , P(2) = P(E2) , and so
on, P Cn) = P(En ), formula (18) becomes:
M(E; r, 2r, ... , nr) = s(rpCI) + 2rP(2) + ... + nrPCn) -1) (19)
In this form, formula (19) is computable only by the use of a
software program, due to probabilities P Ci)' which are very hard to
compute and express explicitly because the number of variables is
too high and the terms overloaded.
I shall consider the particularization in which the group consists
of n independent lines.

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) =

s[r ~PI II (1- Pk ) + 2r "tt"nPiP 11 (1- Pk ) + ... + nr~Jpi -1] (20)


j
j

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) =

s[t~jr,P'(j) -1] (22)

For groups of non-independent lines, formula (22) is applicable


only by the use of a software program, due to the difficulty of
computation of probabilities P ;(j) ' In all situations, the larger the
number of pay lines in the group or the larger the dimension of the
union forming the initial winning event E, the heavier will be the
computation of the EV of its profit.
With respect to the dimension of the union forming the initial
winning event, the largest event would be any win (no matter the
payout). In order to compute the EV of such a bet (which actually is
the non-declared bet when spinning the reels once with one credit,
since any win is welcome), the first decomposing in winning events
of unique payout rates is essential. However, the ease of such
decomposing depends on the complexity of the payout schedule of
that game, as well as the ease of the probability computations.
Ifwe deal with several paylines for the EV (which could be all
the paylines of the machine or just the ones enabled in the game),
the overall winning event any win on any payline stands for the most
difficult event with respect to both probability and EV.

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.

Probabilities associated with repeated events in slots

All probabilities we have dealt with thus far refer to winning


events corresponding to the same probabilistic experiment, namely
the spin of the reels of a machine in a single game. We can also
calculate probabilities of events related to several different spins for
the same game. These spins, from a probability point of view,
represent independent experiments. Generally, moving from the
probability of occurrence of a winning event in a singular game to
the probability of its repeated occurrence in several games requires a
simple calculation based on Bernoulli' s scheme:
Consider that n independent spins are performed. Denote by A
the expected winning event and by p its probability of occurrence in
a spin. Event A could be of any complexity (simple or complex,
related to one or several paylines, as we considered the events in the
previous section dedicated to the EV).
The probability for event A to occur exactly m times in n spins
(m $ n) is given by the Bernoulli formula: Let Bmbe the event A
occurs exactly m times in the n spins. Then
P(Bm )=C;' p "' (1_py-m (23)
Formula (23) can be applied for a series of independent games
(successive or split over time, played by the same player or several
players) on the same slot machine, for the same winning event. For
applying it, we must know first the probability p of the singular
winning event.

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 of using the table:


Find the probability of the same winning event occurring exactly
5 times in 1,000 independent games, given that its probability of
occurrence in one game is 0.0045. We look at intersection of row p
= 0.0045 with column m = 5 and find 0.171 23 3956 = 17.1233 956%
for the sought probability.
144
It is helpful to find the probability of the expected event
occurring at least a certain number oftimes after n spins.
Because events Bm are mutually exclusive, we can add their
probabilities to find the probability of event A occurring at least a
certain number of times. Therefore, the probability of A occurring at
least m times after n spins is P(B m ) + P(Bm + j ) + ... + P(Bn ) •

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.

At this point, I conclude the theoretical portion of the book,


where I have presented the main mathematical results and tools
necessary for providing numerical probabilities attached to the slots
winning events of any complexity - exact values or accurate
approximations - through practical applications, for any type of slot
machine, configured with any parameters.
Of course, any practical application can be fulfilled only if we
know in advance the parameters of the given slot machine, that is,
the numbers of stops of the reels and the symbol distributions on the
reels. All the probability formulas and even tables of values are
ultimately useless without this information. In the chapter The
Configuration of Slot Machines, I explained some methods of
estimating these parameters based on empirical data and stated that
the application of such methods poses some problems of effort and
risk. Further, taking into account the incomputable error ranges of
such approximations, any credible information regarding these
parameters should prevail over my methods of estimating them.
Now, it is time for the players to put down the math and see the
practical results for the most common categories of slot machines!

Practical Applications and Numerical Results

In this chapter, I shall consider four large categories of slot


games, namely 3-reel, 5-reel, 9-reel, and 16-reel slot machines with
the various configurations of their display. For each category, I shall
present the probability results derived from the application of
general theory as both computable formulas ready for inputs and
tables of values (where possible).
The games that are subject to my applications are not
particularized to names of games or machines existing on the
market, but to more general models defined through the
configuration of their display. These models cover the most
common games found on the market nowadays as well as possible
future games.
For each game category, the most common winning events on a
payline are defined and listed along with their probabilities. Then,
more complex events on a payline - unions of the previous winning
events - are considered. Since it is possible that not all the listed
winning events will coexist (totally or partially) on a real slot
machine, only some common such unions are considered. (Thus, I
cannot provide general probability results for overall winning events
like any win (regardless of the payout), as every game in part has its
own winning rules, even within the same sub-category; such
computation is possible only for a given specific game for which we
know the winning combinations of symbols.)
The last category of events listed consists of the same winning
events considered previously, but occurring on several paylines.
The probability results are still presented in the two cases A and
B - respectively the same numbers of stops and symbol distributions
on the reels and the opposite - under which we worked in the
previous two chapters.
The aim was to present as many numerical results as possible
listed in tables; however, due to the generally large number of
variables, this was possible only in a very limited number of
situations. The tables of values presented here have as variables
either the parameters of the configurations (numbers t, tj , ci , c(, as

147
denoted in the theoretical chapters) or the basic probabilities qi = S.-
f
j
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.

148
3-reel slot machines

The 3-reel slot machines could have the following common


configurations of the display: 1 x 3,2 x 3, 3 x 3. The standard length
of a payline is 3. The sub-categories with display 1 x 3 or 3 x 3
include the old classical slot machines with one central horizontal
payline.

The common winning events on the payline are:


EI - A specific symbol three times (for example, ( 0 . OJ))
E2 - Any symbol three times (triple)
E3 - A specific symbol exactly twice
(for example, (O . !.!!Y))
E4 - Any symbol exactly twice (double)
E5 - A specific symbol exactly once
(for example, ( 7 any any))
E6 - Any combination of two specific symbols
(for example, (mix & . ) , that is ( . ) or ( .. ))
E7 - Any combination of at least one of three specific symbols
(for example, (a?,l!!~iar any bar any bar ), with three bar symbols
I!t'!:iJ m;:m
like c:m, E!:!II, c;:m )
(The symbols from the examples are just for illustrating the
winning combinations and may be replaced by symbols of any
graphic. For the same parameters of the machine, the probabilities of
the above events are the same regardless of the chosen graphic for
the symbols.)

149
1 x 3 display

This is the simplest type of slot machine, with one paying line.

Probabilities of winning events on the payline

1. Case A - the same number of stops and symbol distribution


on the reels

1.1 Event EI - A specific symbol three times

The probability of £, is P( £, ) ~( 7)' ,


where t is the 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.

Note: The notation of a number using letter E - called scientific


notation - applies for very low numbers with a large number of
decimal places. To convert a number from scientific notation to its
standard decimal notation, we must move the decimal point to the
left the number of decimal places indicated by the number written
after "E-". For instance, 1.25E-07 converts to 0.000000125, which
means a 0.0000125% probability.

Examples oj using the table:

Find the probability of a cherry occurring three times on a


payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 82 stops on each reel, having 4
cherries on each reel.
We look at the intersection of row t = 82 with column c = 4 and
find the probability P = 0.00011607 = 0.011607%.

Find the probability of a red seven occurring three times on a


pay line of a 3-reel slot machine with 51 stops on each reel, having 5
red sevens on each reel.

153
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 .

1.2 Event E2 - Any symbol three times (triple)

The probability of E2 is given by the formula P(E2) = t( ; )3,


where p is the number of distinct symbols of the machine and C; are
the distributions of the p symbols on a reel. For applying this
formula, we must compute the probability of event E, for each of
the p symbols and add them up. This can be done by using p times
the results of the previous section 1.1.

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%.

154
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.

Example afusing the table:


Find the probability of a plum occurring exactly twice on a
payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 64 stops on each reel, having 7
plums on each reel.
We look at the intersection of row t = 64 with column c = 7 and
find the probability P = 0.03196335= 3.196335%.

157
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%.

1.5 Event E5 - A specific symbol exactly once

The probability of Es is peEs) = 3c (t -; C) 2 , 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.

Example afusing the table:


Find the probability of a bandit occurring exactly once on a
payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 90 stops on each reel having 2
bandits on each reel.
We look at the intersection of row t = 90 with column c = 2 and
find the probability P = 0.06373663 = 6.373663%.

1.6 Event E6 - Any combination of two specific symbols

The probability of E6 is P(E6) = CIC2(C~ + c2 ) , where t is the


t
number of stops of a reel and c1 and c2 are the distributions of the
two symbols on a reel. This formula returns the following tables of
values, each one for one fixed value of c1 from 1 to 7 and the values
of t ranging each time from 20 to 200 in increments of 2.

The rest of the tables (Table 3 through Table 7) can be

Example a/using the tables:
Find the probability of any combination of melon and plum
symbols occurring on a pay line of a 3-reel slot machine with 72
stops on each reel, having 3 melons and 4 plums on each reel.
Take for instance c] = 3 and c2 = 4 (ifviceversa, we will reach
the same result, as the probability formula is symmetric in c] and
c 2 ). We consider Table 3 and look at the intersection of row t = 72
with column c2 = 4. We find there the probability P == 0.00022505 ==
== 0.022505%.

1. 7 Event E7 - Any combination of at least one ofthree


specific symbols

i +c
The probability of E, is P( E, ) = ( cJ + c 3)
3
, where CJ ' C, ,

and c3 are the distributions of the three symbols on a reel.


For the numerical probabilities, we can use the table and the
results of section 1.1 for c = cj + c2 + c3 •

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%.

Next, I present the probabilities of some unions of winning


events on a payline (disjunctions of the previous events E] through
E7 , operated with or).

Example of using the table:


Find the probability of a cherry occurring at least twice on a
payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 34 stops on each reel, having 3
cherries on each reel.
We look in the table, at the intersection ofrow t = 34 with
column
c = 3 and find the probability P = 0.0219825 = 2.19825%.

Example of using the table:


Find the probability of a cherry occurring at least once on a
payline ofa 3-reel slot machine with 162 stops on each reel, having
5 cherries on each reel.
We look in the table, at the intersection of row t = 162 with
column C = 5 and find the probability P = 0.0897642 = 8.97642%.

1.10 A specific symbol three times or another specific symbol


twice
The probability ofthis event is (C}) 3+ 3( C; )2(t - C2) , where tis
t
the number of stops of a reel and c} and c2 are the distributions of
the two symbols on a reel. This formula returns the following tables
of values, each one for one fixed value of c} from 1 to 7.

Example of using the tables:
Find the probability of three lemons or two cherries occurring on
a payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 54 stops on each reel, having
5 lemons and 4 cherries on each reel.
We consider Table 5 and look at the intersection of row t = 54
with column c2 = 4. We find there the probability
P = 0.01 6035411 = 1.6035411 %.

1.11 A specific symbol three times or another specific symbol


once
The probability of this event is (C1)3 + 3c;(t - C2)2 , where t is the
t
number of stops of a reel and c1 and c2 are the distributions of the
two symbols on a reel. This formula returns the following tables of
values, each one for one fixed value of c1 from 1 to 7.

Example of using the tables:


Find the probability of three lemons or one cherry occurring on a
payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 30 stops on each reel, having 6
lemons and 3 cherries on each reel.
We consider Table 6 and look at the intersection of row t = 30
with column c2 = 3. We fmd there the probability P = 0.251 =
= 25.1%.

1.12 A specific symbol three times or another specific symbol


at least once
The probability of this event is
(c )3 + 3c (t - C )2 + 3( C )2(t - C ) + (c )3 .
, 2 2 2 2 2 where t IS the number of
t3 '

stops of a reel and c, and c2 are the distributions of the two symbols
on a reel. This formula returns the following tables of values, each
one for one fixed value of c, from 1 to 7.

Example of using the tables:
Find the probability of three lemons or at least one cherry
occurring on a pay line of a 3-reel slot machine with 38 stops on each
reel, having 4 lemons and 5 cherries on each reel.
We consider Table 4 and look at the intersection ofrow t = 38
with column c2 = 5. We find there the probability
P = 0.346242164 = 34.6242164%.

1.13 A specific symbol three times or any combination of that


symbol with another specific symbol
The probability of this event is (CI ) 3 + CI C32 (C I + c2 ) , where t is the
t
number of stops of a reel and c1 and c2 are the distributions of the
two symbols on a reel. This formula returns the following tables of
values, each one for one fixed value of ci from 1 to 7.

The rest of the tables (Table 3 through Table 7) can be


downloaded from www.infarom.com/SLT/3reeIA1 .13.zip

Example of using the tables:


Find the probability of three money bags or any combination of
money bag and bandit occurring on a payline of a 3-reel slot
machine with 32 stops on each reel, having 2 money bags and 3
bandits on each reel.
We consider Table 2 and look at the intersection of row t = 32
with column c 2 = 3. We find there the probability
P = 0.001159668 = 0.1159668%.

1.14 A specific symbol twice or another specific symbol once


The probability of this event is
3( C )2 (t - c ) + 3c (t - C )2 - 3( C )2C •
I I 2 2 I 2 where t IS the number of stops
t3 '

of a reel and c1 and c2 are the distributions of the two symbols on a


reel. This formula returns the following tables of values, each one
for one fixed value of C1 from 1 to 7.

Example of using the tables:
Find the probability of two sevens or one coin occurring on a
payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 90 stops on each reel, having 2
sevens and 2 coins on each reel.
We consider Table 2 and look at the intersection of row t = 90
with column c2 = 2 . We find there the probability
P = 0.065152263 = 6.5152263%.

1.15 A specific symbol twice or any combination of at least


one of three other specific symbols
The probability of this event is 3( q))2(1- q)) + (q2)3, where q)
and q2 are the basic probabilities of the first symbol occurring on a
reel and of one (any) of the other three symbols occurring on a reel
respectively (q2 is the sum of the basic probabilities of the three
symbols each occurring on a reel). This 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 for q)
and from 0.005 to 0.350 for q2' and each table lists seven values of
q2.

Example of using the tables :


Find the probability of two cherries or three bar-type symbols
occurring on a payline of a 3-reel slot machine with 42 stops on each
reel, having 3 cherries, 3 single bar, 2 double bar, and 1 triple bar on
each reel.
We first calculate the basic probabilities. Let ql be the
probability of a cherry occurring on a reel and q2 the probability of

a bar-type symbol occurring on a reel. We have q, = ~ = 0.071428


42
3 +2+1 .
and q? = = 0.14285. Now conSIder Table 4 and Table 5,
- 42
rows ql = 0.070 and ql = 0.075 (the values bounding 0.071428),
and columns q2 = 0.140 and q2 = 0.145 (the values the values
bounding 0.14285).
The intersections of these rows and columns give us an
approximation interval for the sought probability, namely 0.016415
- 0.018658. We can take 0.0175 (1.75%) for the sought probability
as an accurate enough estimation.
The tables of this section provide us with approximated
probabilities, not exact ones (except the case when both basic
probabilities match two incremental values listed on the tables). For
obtaining exact results, we must directly apply the explicit
probability formula from the beginning of this section that returned
the tables (do it as exercise and compare the results).

208
2. Case B - different numbers of stops and symbol
distributions on the reels

2.1 Event E, - A specific symbol three times


The probability of E, is P(EI ) = q~q~ q~ , where ql' , q~, q~ are the
basic probabilities of that symbol occurring on the reels
respecti vel y.

Example:
Find the probability of three melons occurring on a payline of a
3-reel slot machine having 50, 50, and 60 stops on reels 1, 2 and 3
respectively and 2, 3, and 3 melons on these reels respectively.
We have q: = 2 / 50, q~ = 3 / 50, q~ = 3 / 60. The sought

probability is their product: 2·3 · 3 = 0.00012 = 0.012% .


50 · 50·60

A particular (although rare) case is when two of the three reels


have the same number of stops and the same distribution of
symbols. In that case, the probability of E] is P(EI ) f
= (q~ q~ ,
where q~ 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 formula also holds if only the
watched symbol has the same basic probability of occurrence on
each of two reels (a particular case of that condition is when two
reels have the same number of stops and the same distribution of
that symbol on them). 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 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.

2.2 Event E2 - Any symbol three times (triple)


p
The probability of E2 is P(E2 ) = Lq;q;q;3, where p is the
;=,
number of distinct symbols of the machine and q( are the basic
probabilities of occurrence of these symbols on the reels (q( is the
probability of symbol no. i occurring on reel no. j). For applying this
formula, we must compute the probability of event E, for each of
the p symbols and add them up. This can be done by using p times
the results of the previous section 2.1.

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%.

are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring on the reels
respecti vely.

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:

:0 . :0 (1- 1~o ) + :0 . 1~o (1- :0) + :0 . 1~o (1- :0) =


= 3·2·99+3·1 ·88+2·1 · 87 =0.001274=0.l274%.
90·90 ·100

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 of using the tables:


Find the probability of two cherries occurring on a payline of a
3-reel slot machine having 72, 72, and 72 stops on reels 1, 2, and 3
respectively and 4, 2, and 2 cherries on these reels respectively.
We have here the particular case of the same number of stops and
the same distribution of the cherry symbol on two reels (2 and 3).
ql' = 2 / 72 = 0.02777 and q ~ = 4 / 72 = 0.05555 .
We consider Table 2 and look at the intersection of column
ql2 = 0.055 with rows qll = 0.025 and qll =0.030 . We find the
probabilities 0.003271875 and 0.0040515 that bound the sought
probability. We can take for instance 0.0036 = 0.36% as an
approximation. For the exact result, apply directly the explicit
probability formula that returned the tables.

2.4 Event E4 - Any symbol exactly twice (double)


The probability of E4 is
p
P(E4) = 'Iq:qi2(1- qn + q:q; (1- q; ) + qi2qi3(1- q:) , where p is the
i=1

number of distinct symbols of the machine and q( are the basic


probabilities of occurrence of these symbols on the reels. 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
usingp times the results of the previous section 2.3.

216
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% .
8800 8800 8800 8800

2.5 Event E5 - A specific symbol exactly once


The probability of E5 is
P( E5) = q~ (1- q]2 ) (1- q{) + q~ (1- q{) (1- q]l ) + q{ (1- q~ ) (1- q~ ) ,
where q; , q~ , q{ are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring
on each reel respectively.

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

= 2 · 77 · 79+ 1· 74 · 79+ 1· 74 · 77 = 0.049995 =4.9995% .


76·78 ·80

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
of q12 .

Example of using the tables:


Find the probability of one cherry occurring on a payline of a
3-reel slot machine having 38,38, and 42 stops on reels 1, 2, and 3
respectively and 1, 1, and 1 cherries on these reels respectively.
We have here the particular case of two similar reels (1 and 2).
q: =1138 = 0.02631 and q~ =1142 = 0.02380.
We consider Table 1 and look at the intersections of columns
ql2 = 0.020 and q~ = 0.025 with rows qll = 0.025 and qi =0.030 .
The intersections give us an approximation interval for the sought
probability, namely 0.0667875 - 0.0802675. We can take for
instance 0.0725 (7.25%) for the sought probability as an accurate
enough estimation. For the exact result, apply directly the explicit
probability formula that returned the tables.

2.6 Event E6 - Any combination of two specific symbols
The probability of E6 is
peE6 ) =q2q, q, +q,q2q, +q,q, q2 +q,q2q2 +q2q, q2+q2q2q, ,were
'2 3 ' 2 3 '2 3 ' 2 3 ' 2 3 'h 2 3

q( are the basic probabilities of the two symbols occurring on the


reels respectively (q! is the probability of symbol no. i occurring on
reel no.}).

Example:
Find the probability of any combination of red seven and blue
seven symbols occurring on a payline of a 3-reel slot machine
having 56, 56, 60
and 1, 2,
stops on reels and 3 respectively and the
following distributions of the two symbols on these reels
respectively:2, 2,2 2, 1, 1
for red seven; for blue seven.
=2/56, =2/56, =2/60
The basic probabilities are: q: q~ q~
and q~ =2/56, q; =1 /56, q; =1/ 60 .
The sought probability is:

(:6)(:6)(:0)+(:6)(:6)(:0)+(:6)(:6)(;0)+
+(:6)(:6)(;0)+(:6)(:6)(;0)+(:6)(:6)(6~)=
=56·56·60
26 =0.00013818 =0.013818%.

2.7 Event E7 - Any combination of at least one of three


specific symbols
The probability of E7 is
P(E7) =(q,' +q~ +q~) (q,2 +q; +q;) (q; +q~ +q; ) , where q! are the
basic probabilities of the three symbols occurring on each reel
respectively. Denoting q~ = q( + qi + q{ , for} from 1 to 3, we can
write P( E7) = q~q~q~ and use the tables and the results of section
2.1.

221
Example:
Find the probability of any combination of bar-type symbols
(single, double, and triple bar) occurring on a payline of a 3-reel slot
machine with 50, 50, and 60 stops on reels 1, 2, and 3 respectively,
and the following distributions of the bar-type symbols on these
reels respectively: 2, 2, 1 for single bar; 2, 1, 1 for double bar; 1, 1, 1
for triple bar.
We have: q]] = 2 / 50, q]2 = 2/50, q; = 1160,
q~ = 2 / 50, q; = 1 / 50, q; = 1/ 60 , q~ = I / 50, q~ = 1/ 50, qi = 1/ 60
The sought probability is:
2
( 50 2
+ 50 + 50
1)( 502 + 501+ 501 )( 601+ 601+ 601) 5 5
= 50 . 50 . 60 =
3

= 0.0005 = 0.05% .

Next, I present the probabilities of some unions of winning


events on a payline (disjunctions of the previous events E] through
E 7 , operated with or).

2.8 A specific symbol at least twice


The probability of this event is
q] q]2 q]3 + q]]q]2 (1 - q]3 ) + q]]q]3 (1 - q]2 ) + q]2q]3 (1 - q]]) , were
] h ] q]2 , q]3
q],
are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring on the reels
respectively.

Example:
Find the probability of at least two cherries occurring on a
payline ofa 3-reel slot machine having 45, 47, and 53 stops on reels
1,2, and 3 respectively and 1,3, and 2 cherries on these reels
respectively.
We have q: = 1 / 45, q]2 = 3 / 47, q; = 2 / 53 . The sought
probability is:
2
:5 . :7 . 53 + :5 . :7 (1- 2 2
53) + :5 . 53 (1- 2
:7) + :7 . 53 (1- 1 = 45)

= 1· 3·2 + 1· 3·51 + 1· 2·44 + 3 · 2·44 = 0.0045586 = 0.45586% .


45·47·53
222
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 (qll f + 2q;q~ (1- q;) , where q;
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 fom1Ula 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~.

payline of a 3-reel slot machine having 65, 65 , and 68 stops on reels
1, 2 and 3 respectively and 2, 2, and 1 cherries on these reels
respecti vel y.
We have here the particular case of two similar reels (1 and 2).
qll = 2 / 65 = 0.03076 and q~ = 2 / 68 = 0.02941 .
We consider Table 1 and look at the intersection of column
q~ = 0.030 with row qll = 0.030 , where we find the probability
0.002646. We can take 0.0025 = 0.25% as an approximation of the
sought probability.
For the exact result, apply directly the explicit probability
formula that returned the tables.

2.9 A specific symbol at least once


The probability ofthis event is
ql1ql2 ql3 + ql1ql2 (1 - ql3 ) + ql1ql3 (1 - ql2 ) + ql2 ql3 (1 - qlI) +
+q11(1- q~ ) (1- q~ ) + q~ (1- q~ ) (1- q: ) + q~ (1- qll ) (1- q~ ) , where
q: , q~, q~ are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring on the
reels respectively.

Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the first example from the previous
section 2.7, find the probability of at least one cherry occurring on a
payline.
225
We have qi =1/ 45, q}2 = 3 / 47, q~ = 2 / 53. The sought
probability is:

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
of qj2.

Example:
Find the probability of two money bags or one bandit occurring
on a payline of a 3-reel slot machine having 60, 60, and 62 stops on
reels 1, 2 and 3 respectively and the following distributions of the
two symbols on these reels respectively: 2, 2, and 2 money bags; 2,
1, and 1 bandits.
The basic probabilities are: qll = 2 / 60, q;

Example:
Find the probability of two cherries or three bar-type symbols
occurring on a pay line of a 3-reel slot machine having 50, 50, and 60
stops on reels 1, 2 and 3 respectively and the following distributions
of the given symbols on these reels respectively: 2, 1, and 1 cherries;
2, 2, and 2 single bars; 2, 2, and 1 double bars; 1, 1, and 1 triple
bars.
We first calculate the basic probabilities. Let q~ , q~, q~ be the
probabilities of a cherry occurring on the reels respectively and
q~ , q;, q; the probabilities of a bar-type symbol occurring on the
reels respectively. We have: q: = 2 / 50, q~ =2 / 50, q; =2 / 60 and
I = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 / 50 2 = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 / 50 3 = 2 + 1+ 1 = 4 160 .

2 x 3 and 3 x 3 display

Such machines could have more than one payline, by default or


when enabled by the player (usually 2 horizontal paylines for the
2 x 3-display and 3 through 9 paylines for the 3 x 3-display
machines, including 3 horizontal lines, up to 2 oblique, or up to 2
triangular lines).

Figure 28. Example of a 3-reel slot machine with 2 x 3 display


and the model of the configuration of its display

Figure 29. Example of a 3-reel slot machine with 3 x 3 display


and the model of the configuration of its display

On a 3-reel 2 x 3- or 3 x 3-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 J x 3
display hold for the 2 x 3- and 3 x 3-display machines.
234
5-reel slot machines

The 5-reel slot machines could have the following common


configurations of the display: 1 x 5, 2 x 5, 3 x 5. The standard length
of a pay line is 5.

The common winning events on a payline are:


EI - A specific symbol five times
(for example, CO • • • • ))
E2 - Any symbol five times (quintet)
E3 - A specific symbol exactly four times
(for example, (• • • • !!!Y))
E4 - Any symbol exactly four times (quadruple)
E5 - A specific symbol exactly three times
(for example, ~ 7., any !!!Y))
E6 - Any symbol three times (triple)
E7 - Any combination of two specific symbols

E8 - Any combination of at least one of three specific symbols


(for example, (any bar any bar ai~Ai~ar any bar any bar), with
I!!'JIJ m:;m
three bar symbols like am, £iIIil, m::m)

235
1 x 5 display

There is one payline on such machines.

Probabilities of winning events on the payline

1. Case A - the same number of stops and symbol distribution


on the reels

1.1 Event E, - A specific symbol five times

The probability of E, is peE,) =(-;.)' , where I is the 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.

1.2 Event E2 - Any symbol five times (quintet)

The probability of E, is p eE, ) = t (;)', where p is the

number of distinct symbols of the machine and cj are the


distributions of the p symbols on a reel. For applying this formula,
we must compute the probability of event E, 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. 1_

1.3 Event E3 - A specific symbol exactly four times

The probability of E3 is P( E3) = 5c\ ts- 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 four times (quadruple)


5(C)4(t-C)
The probability of E4 is P(E4) = I p
1 5 I, where p is the
1= 1 t
number of distinct 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 .

1.5 Event E5 - A specific symbol exactly three times

The probability of E5 is P(E5) = 10C3(~- C)2 , 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.

1.6 Event E6 - Any symbol exactly three times (triple)

The probability of E6 is P(E6) = L 10(c f


p
1
(t-c) 2
5 1 , where pis
1= ) t
the number of distinct symbols of the machine and ci are the
distributions of the p symbols on a reel. For applying this fonnula,
we must compute the probability of event Es for each of the p
symbols and add them up. This can be done by usingp times the
results of the previous section 1.5.

1.7 Event E7 - Any combination of two specific symbols


The probability of E7 is
5c)c2[ (C)) 3+ 2c) (c 2/ + 2 (c) )2c2+ (c 2/ ]
P( E7 ) = 5 ' where t is the
t
number of stops of a reel and c) and c2 are the distributions of the
two symbols on a reel. This fonnula returns the following tables of
values, each one for one fixed value of c) from 1 to 7 and the values
of t ranging each time from 20 to 200 in increments of 2.

1.15 A specific symbol four times or any combination of at
least one of three other specific symbols
The probability of this event is 5( q,)4(1- q,) + (q2)5, where q,
and q2 are the basic probabilities of the first symbol occurring on a
reel and of one (any) of the other three symbols occurring on a reel
respectively (q2 is the sum of the basic probabilities of the three
symbols each occurring on a reel). This formula returns the
following table of values, and each table lists seven values of q2.

Tables ofvalues for the probability of a specific symbol four times or any
combination of at least one of three other specific symbols occurring on a

2. Case B - different numbers of stops and symbol
distributions on the reels

2.1 Event E1 - A specific symbol five times


The probability of EI is P( EI ) = q11q~ q~q~ q~, where
q;, q~, q~, q:, q~ are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring
on the reels respectively.
A particular (although rare) case is when four of the five reels
have the same number of stops and the same distribution of
symbols. In that case, the probability of E] is P(E]) = (qll) 4 q~ ,
where q{ is the basic probability of that symbol occurring on one of
the four similar reels and q~ is the basic probability of that symbol
occurring on the fifth reel. This formula also holds if only the
watched symbol has the same basic probability of occurrence on
each of four reels (a particular case of that condition is when four
reels have the same number of stops and the same distribution of
that symbol on them). This particular formula returns the following
table of values and each table lists seven values of q~ .

2.2 Event E2 - Any symbol five times (quintet)


p
The probability of E2 is P(E2 ) = Lq}q;2q;q:q; , where p is the
;=1

number of distinct symbols of the machine and q( are the basic


probabilities of occurrence ofthese symbols on the reels. For
applying this formula, we must compute the probability of event E1
for each of the p symbols and add them up. This can be done by
usingp times the results of the previous section 2.1.

In the particular case when four of the five reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols (or four reels
have the same number of stops and the same distribution of at least
that watched symbol on them), the probability of E3 is

P(E3) = (q,' f (l-q~ ) +4( qi)3q,2(1- qi), where qi is the basic


probability of that symbol occurring on one of the four similar reels
and q,2 is the basic probability of that symbol occurring on the fifth
reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values and
each table lists seven values of q~ .

distinct symbols of the machine and q/ are the basic probabilities of


occurrence of these symbols on the reels. 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 2.3.

2.5 Event Es - A specific symbol exactly three times
The probability of Es is

+q~q:q~ (1- qll)( 1- qn + q~q:q~ (1- q:) (1- qn ' where
qll , q~ , q~, q:, q~ are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring
on the reels respectively.
In the particular case when four of the five reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols, the
probability of E5 is

peEs) = 2( q; f (1- qn (2 qll - 5q:q~ + 3qn, where q; is the basic


probability of that symbol occurring on one of the four similar reels
and q~ is the basic probability of that symbol occurring on the fifth
reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values and
each table lists seven values of q~ .

293
where p is the number of distinct symbols of the machine and q/ are
the basic probabilities of occurrence of these symbols on the reels.
For applying this formula, we must compute the probability of event
E6 for each of the p symbols and add them up. This can be done by
usingp times the results of the previous section 2.5.

symbols occurring on the reels respectively (q/ is the probability of
symbol no. i occurring on reel no. i).

2.8 Event Eg - Any combination of at least one of three


specific symbols
The probability of Eg is
P(Eg) = (q: + q~ + q~ )( q~ + q; + q;)( q~ + q; + q;)( q~ + q; + q;)( q~ + q~ + qn,
where q/ are the basic probabilities of the three symbols occurring
on the reels respectively. Denoting q~ = q( + q~ + q£ , for} from 1 to
5, we can write P( Eg) = q~q~ q~q~q~ and use the tables and the
results of section 2.1.

Next, I present the probabilities of some unions of winning


events on a pay line.

In the particular case when four of the five reels have the same
number of stops and the same distribution of symbols, the
probability is (qll t (q~ - 4q~ q~ + 4q; ) , where q~ is the basic
probability of that symbol occurring on one of the four similar reels
and q;
is the basic probability of that symbol occurring on the fifth
reel.
This particular formula returns the following table of values and
each table lists seven values of q~ .

2 x 5, 3 x 5, 4 x 5, 5 x 5 display

Such machines could have more than one payline, by default or


when enabled by the player.
The 2 x 5-display machine could have 2 to 6 paylines of length 5,
including horizontal, trapezoidal, or zigzag lines.

Figure 31. The model of the configuration of a 5-reel slot machine


with 2 x 5 display

The 3 x 5-display machine could have 3 to 25 pay lines of length


5, including all kinds of symmetric transversal lines (3 horizontal
lines, up to 2 triangular, up to 4 trapezoidal, up to 4 zigzag lines),
but also non-regular paylines (such as lines partially
overlapping a reel).

Figure 32. Example of a 5-reel slot machine with 3 X 5 display


and the model of the configuration of its display

302
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.

The probability results for the winning events on a payline of a


3-reel or 5-reel slot machine presented in their dedicated subchapters
also hold for the winning events on a pay line of length 3 or 5
respectively for a slot machine with more than 5 reels (which has
pay1ines of such lengths).

303
9-reel slot machines

The 9-reel slot machines usually have a 3 x 3 display and the


length of a payline is 3, but it could be also of the non-common
lengths 4 or 5. The 9-reel 3 x 3-display slot machine could have 8 to
16 paylines oflength 3, as follows: 3 horizontal, 3 vertical, 2 oblique
(diagonal), or 8 triangular lines. It could also have 8 stair lines of
length 4, or 4 stair lines of length 5.

Figure 33. Example of a 9-reel slot machine with 3 x 3 display


and the model of tbe configuration of its display

The common winning events on a payline oflength 3 are the


same as for the 3-reel slot machines, which are listed in the section
1 x 3 display of the subchapter 3-reel slot machines.
All the probability results for these winning events on one
payline of a 9-reel machine are the same as the probability results
presented in the section mentioned above (formulas and tables of
values).

304
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.

1. Case A - the same number of stops and symbol distribution


on the reels

1.1 A winning event on any of the horizontal lines


Ifp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 3
horizontal lines is 3p.
(Depending on the measured event, p could be any numerical
probability computed by using the results of sections 1.1 through
1.15 of the 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%.

1.2 A winning event on any of the vertical lines


The same results as in previous section 1.1 apply here:
If p is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 3 vertical
lines is 3p.

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%.

1.4 A winning event on either or both of the diagonal lines


If p is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on either or both of the 2
diagonal lines is approximately equal to p (5 - 2 p ) .
3
Example:
In the same hypothesis as of the previous example, find the
probability of a lemon occurring three times on any diagonal line.
p = 0.000125.
The sought probability is approximately
~ (5 - 2p) = 0.00~125 (5 - 2·0.000125) = 0.0002083 = 0.02083%.

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%.

1.6 A winning event on any of the vertical or diagonal lines


The same results as in previous section 1.S apply here :
Ifp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the S vertical
or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
L(23p4 -11Sp3+ 230p2 -2S0p + 122).
30

1. 7 A winning event on any of the horizontal, vertical, 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 8
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
p (62 p 2 - 62p + 24) .
3
For this result, I also used the approximation of A2 type (see
section Approximating the probability of a disjunction of slot
events); such approximation methods were used several times for the
next results of this chapter.

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] =

= 0.001 = 0.1 %.

The next table notes the probabilities of a winning event


occurring on the various groups of several lines of a 9-reel slot
machine (occurring on any line of the group), as defined in sections
1.1 to 1.7 of the current SUbchapter, as a function of the probability p
of that event occurring on one payline of length 3, 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 of 0.005, ranging from 0.005 to 0.05.

Example of using the table :


Find the probability of any bar symbol occurring three times on
any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal pay line of a 9-reel 3 x 3-display
slot machine with the same number of stops and the same symbol
distribution on each reel, knowing that the probability of any bar
occurring three times on a payline is 0.00376.
We look in the first column for the values 0.0035 and 0.0040,
which bound the value p = 0.00376.
The group of lines corresponds to section 1.7. We look at the
intersection of rows p = 0.0035 and p = 0.0040 with column 1.7 and
find the probability values 0.027747719 and 0.031670656 as
bounding the real value of the sought probability. We could take
0.029 = 2.9% as an approximation. For a more accurate result, we
should use the formula in section 1.7.

2. Case B - different numbers of stops and symbol


distributions on the reels

For the 8 lines of length 3 considered (horizontal, vertical, and


diagonal) when forming the most common groups of pay lines on
which the winning events are measured in probability, for each
event and group oflines described in the next sections 2.1 to 2.7, I
shall denote by PI' P2' P3 the probabilities of that event occurring
on the 3 horizontal lines from top to bottom respectively, by
P4' P5' P6 the probabilities of that event occurring on the 3 vertical
lines from left to right respectively, and by P7' P8 the probabilities
of that event occurring on the 2 diagonals (the diagonal
corresponding to P7 is that one joining the top-left and the bottom-
right spots).

2.1 A winning event on any of the horizontal lines
The probability of a winning event occurring on any of the 3
horizontal lines is PI + P2 + P3 .

2.2 A winning event on any of the vertical lines


The probability of a winning event occurring on any of the 3
vertical lines is P4 + P s + P6 .

2.3 A winning event on any of the horizontal or vertical lines


The probability of a winning event occurring on any of the 6
horizontal or vertical lines is approximately equal to
PI + P2 + P3 + P4 + P s + P6 - PIP2 - PIP3 - P2P3 - P4PS - P4P6 - PSP6 -

If we also consider larger groups of lines (including the triangular


lines), the probability formulas become even more overloaded. For
saving space, I considered only the most common groups of paylines
for which I presented the probability formulas.

16-reel slot machines

The 16-reel slot machines usually have the 4 x 4 configuration of


the display. The standard length of a payline is 4, but it could also
have the length 3, 6, 7, or 8.
The 16-reel 4 x 4-display slot machine could have 8 to 22
pay lines of length 4, as follows: 4 horizontal, 4 vertical, 2 oblique
(diagonal), or 12 trapezoidal lines. It could also have 4 transversal
stair lines of length 7, 12 double-stair lines oflength 6, or 10 double-
stair lines of length 8. It could also have 4 oblique lines of length 3.

The common winning events on a payline are:


E\ - A specific symbol four times (on a pay line of length at least
4; for example, ( • • IIt»
E2 - Any symbol four times (quadruple; on a payline oflength at
least 4)
E3 - A specific symbol exactly three times
(on a payline oflength at least 3; for example, (0 • • any»
E4 - Any symbol exactly three times (triple) (on a payline of
length at least 3)
E5 - Any combination of two specific symbols
(on a pay line oflength at least 3; for example, (mix
that is ( " ) or ( , ) or (
payline oflength 4)
E6 - Any combination of at least one of three specific symbols
(on a pay line of length at least 3; for example,
c!!!y bar a~ti~ar any bar any bar), with three bar symbols like
c:m IIt!il
I!!:!ll, m:J:.il, c:m, for a payline oflength 4).
For paylines of length 6, 7, or 8 there could be also other specific
winning events not listed above.

Probabilities of winning events on one pay line

All the probability results for the winning events on one payline
oflength 3 ofa 16-reel machine are the same as the probability
results presented in the section 1 x 3 display ofthe subchapter
3-reel slot machines (formulas and tables of values).
Next, I shall consider the probabilities ofthe winning events on a
payline oflength 4.

1. Case A - the same number of stops and symbol distribution


on the reels

1.1 Event E\ - A specific symbol four times

The probability of E, is P( E,) ~(~ J' where t is the 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.

1.2 Event E2 - Any symbol four times (quadruple)

The probability of E, is peE,) ~ t (; )' ,where p is the


number of distinct symbols of the machine and c, are the
distributions of the p symbols on a reeL For applying this formula,
we must compute the probability of event E\ for each of the p
symbols and add them up. This can be done by usingp times the
results of the previous section 1.1.

1.3 Event E3 - A specific symbol exactly three times

The probability of E3 is P(E3) = 4C3 (~ - 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 of2, ranging from 20 to 200, and
the values of c range from 1 to 7.

The probability of E4 is P(E6) I 4 I , where pis
i=j t
the number of distinct symbols of the machine and ci are the
distributions ofthe 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_

1.5 Event E5 - Any combination of two specific symbols

1.6 Event E6 - Any combination of at least one of three
specific symbols

The probability of E, IS P( E, ) = ( c, + c: + c, )' , where c" c"


and c3 are the distributions of the three symbols on a reel.
For the numerical probabilities, we can use the table and the
results of section 1.1 for c = c] + c2 + C3 .

Next, I present the probabilities of some unions of winning


events on a payline.

1.11 A specific symbol three times or any combination of at
least one of three other specific symbols
The probability of this event is 4( ql)3(l-ql) + (q2)4, where ql
and q2 are the basic probabilities of the first symbol occurring on a
reel and of one (any) of the other three symbols occurring on a reel
respectively (q2 is the sum of the basic probabilities of the three
symbols each occurring on a reel). This 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 for ql
and from 0.005 to 0.350 for q2' and each table lists seven values of
q2'

Tables of values for the probability ofa specific symbol three times or any
combination of at least one of three other specific symbols occurring on a

2. Case B - different numbers of stops and symbol
distributions on the reels

2.1 Event El - A specific symbol four times


The probability of El is P(El )=q;q~q~qt , where q; , qI2, q;, qt
are the basic probabilities of that symbol occurring on the reels
respectively.

2.2 Event E2 - Any symbol four times (quadruple)


p
The probability of E 2 is P(E2 ) = Lq;q;2q;3q: , where p is the
;=1

number of distinct symbols of the machine and q( are the basic


probabilities of occurrence of these symbols on the reels
respectively. For applying this formula, we must compute the
probability of event EI for each of the p symbols and add them up.
This can be done by using p times the results of the previous section
2.1.

2.3 Event E3 - A specific symbol exactly three times


The probability of E3 is

occurring on the reels respectively.

2.4 Event E4 - Any symbol three times (triple)


The probability of E3 is

;=1

where p is the number of distinct symbols of the machine and q/ are


the basic probabilities of occurrence of these symbols on the reels.
For applying this fommla, we must compute the probability of event
E3 for each of the p symbols and add them up. This can be done by
usingp times the results of the previous section 2.3.

Probabilities of winning events on several paylines

I shall consider the pay lines of the regular length 4. Each


probability on a pay line of length 4 can be computed in advance by
using the results of the previous section Probabilities of winning
events on one payline of this subchapter. I shall present only case A,
as case B involves heavily overloaded probability formulas.

1. Case A - the same number of stops and symbol distribution


on the reels

1.1 A winning event on any of the horizontal 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 4
horizontal lines is 4p.

1.2 A winning event on any of the vertical lines


The same results as in previous section 1.1 apply here:
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 4 vertical
lines is 4p.

1.3 A winning event on any of the horizontal or vertical lines


Ifp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 8
horizontal or vertical lines is approximately equal to
9p-24p2+48 p 3-16p4.

1.4 A winning event on either or both of the diagonals


If p is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on either or both of the 2
diagonals is 2p.

358
1.5 A winning event on any of the horizontal or diagonal
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) .
6

1.6 A winning event on any of the vertical or diagonal lines


The same results as in previous section 1.5 apply here:
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 6 vertical
or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
p (34-78p+ 104p2 -39p 3).
6

1. 7 A winning event on any of the horizontal, vertical, or


diagonal lines
Ifp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any of the 10
horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines is approximately equal to
13p-37p2+45p 3 .

1.8 A winning event on any of the left-right trapezoidal lines


Ifp is the probability of that event occurring on one payline, then
the probability of the same event occurring on any ofthe 6 left-right
trapezoidal lines is approximately equal to p (26 p 2- 39 p + 16) .
3

1.9 A winning event on any of the horizontal or left-right


trapezoidal 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 10
horizontal or left-right trapezoidal lines is approximately equal to
p (38-111p+ 148p 2).

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."
