So my answer is that I play, to increase the possibility of winning – but luck and the RNG have not granted the “big wins”. The real payout is the fun you have with a machine that has aliens, stampedes, hay-wires, super Heroes, or free spins. While I would be exuberantly happy and excited with a big jackpot, I have never won more than about $200 on any one machine. Each spin has an equal chance of winning, although larger progressive jackpots are only paid when the maximum is bet. Winning “big” is a factor of the RNG, the “Random Number generator” that determines the outcome each time you spin.

(and yes, I do put my few dollars in the giant slot machine when you enter the casino, you never know). The Longshot win of someone putting a quarter in a machine and winning a million dollars is Hollywood, but it can happen. If you want a shot at winning anything on slot machines, you have to play.
