a commission from
the winning bets. The pass line at craps has a 49.3
percent player win ratio. Blackjack has around a
48 percent win rate if we exclude ties. The even-money
bets at roulette (red/black, odd/even, high/low)
have a 47.4 percent player win ratio.

What does hit frequency mean on a slot machine?
How many times the player receives some kind of
payout from the machine. Most slot machines have
hit frequencies around the 15 percent mark. That
means about one in six spins will result in the
player getting money back. Note that I said “player
getting money back” as opposed to “winning
money.”
It is theoretically possible to have a 100 percent
hit frequency with a machine that takes all your
money. Just program it to constantly return one
or two coins on a three-coin bet or one to four
coins on a five-coin bet. You would have a 100 percent
hit frequency and lose every time. The change machine
is a 100 percent hit frequency machine with no house
edge.
47.
Do slot machines have cycles?
No. When you hear casino personnel talk about cycles,
what you are actually dealing with is the theoretical
number of spins for all the possible combinations
to come up based on the program involved. In the
actual playing of the machines, everything is randomly
selected based on the RNG -- the random number generator.
There are streaks but these streaks are not predictable.
So there are theoretical cycles and real streaks
-- neither of which can help the player win.
48. Is there any way to tell if a slot machine is
going to hit?
Yes, if you know that you are about to pop it with
a hammer; no, if you are playing it legitimately.
