How Can You Tell When A Slot Machine Is About To Hit?

Slot machines seem to be all the rage these days, popping up at bars, restaurants, and other entertainment venues. The machine is programmed with a certain percentage of free spins to make them more enticing to players. But how can you tell WHEN the machine is about to hit? You’ll see a change in the machine’s lights.

The display on the machine will flash for a fraction of a second when it is about to hit. If you are lucky enough to be close enough to observe this, then you know that you only have seconds to get your hands on some money.

You will see coins piling up in front of the machine

The rtp slot attendant may have exhausted all other ways to steal from the machine, but he will sometimes stick a cup underneath it and wait for it to pay out. This is particularly effective if the machine has paid out for a long time without any winnings. You may even see the attendant momentarily move or turn away from your machine and you will have a much better chance of getting the money in front of the machine.

You see a player at the machine

As soon as a player sits down at the machine, stand back a few feet and practice your winsome smile. You are waiting for that machine to hit (or appear to hit) and the player will spin again in frustration. Maybe they’ll leave their money on the counter or in front of the machine. Maybe they’ll absentmindedly put it in their pocket. The point is, the player has no idea that you are up to no good.

You keep hearing “light hitting”

You are watching the machine and you see that it continues to produce no results. You’ve checked the odds, you’ve seen the other players leave their money on the machine, but it just won’t pay out. You walk around a little bit and see that many of the other machines are also “hitting light.” You notice a slot attendant walking away from your machine, so you decide to take matters into your own hands.

You see a short character of lighting appear on the screen

If you are playing a one arm bandit, then you may notice that the large lever will not make it all the way over. This is another sign that your machine is about to hit.
