The casino floor is a breeding ground for wild superstitions, urban legends, and completely illogical betting strategies.

These false beliefs are not only mathematically incorrect, but they can also cost you a massive amount of money.

The Gambler's Fallacy and Slot Machines

The most pervasive myth in the entire industry is that a slot machine becomes 'due' for a jackpot after a long losing streak.

The odds of hitting the jackpot are exactly the same on your first spin as they are on your thousandth spin.

• The machine does not know if it just paid out a million dollars or if it hasn't paid out in a week
• Casinos do not have a secret switch in the back room that turns a machine from 'cold' to 'hot'
• Walking away from a machine does not mean the very next person is guaranteed to win 'your' jackpot

By ignoring these myths and trusting the actual mathematics, you become a much smarter, more resilient gambler.
