I asked a slot tech I was chatting with at a tribal casino in Oregon what their slots payout percentage was, and the tech floored me with the answer: '82%.' Yet no slot tech, even when sloshed to the gills, is going to be a reliable source of information. Slot technician training is a grown industry in the US and perhaps abroad also. If you look at the ads for used slots and shipping manifests you will see that usually the machine and the entire range of chipsets are sent and the new owner of the slot machine will make whatever choice he chooses to make in his jurisdiction. A slot machine in Northern Ireland is subject to two different sets of UK laws. In Vegas, competition forces payouts to be rather high and well over the state minimum settings. the choice if from the existing chips which will be sent with the machines. Ship something out of Nevada and install it in London, it will need 'Localization' such as signage changes and sound alterations to make sure nothing approximates the sound of a 'Bobby's Whistle', a legally defined sound pattern that can not be duplicated by any device in the UK. The lowest one that Nevada allows is the 'floor' for other jurisdictions. However no one is going to develop a separate chip. Paperwork requirements in Nevada are strict. One is the State of Nevada, the other market is Anywhere Else.ĪLL machines are designed for Nevada. The best thing is to remember that slot machine manufacturers really have only TWO markets. Some tribes have some 'rubber stamp' authority, some tribes just say 'mind your own business, paleface'. When there is no 'authority' to contact, there is not much use in giving into rumors or guesses.
