一般而言，在同一台老虎机上两次中大奖的几率是很小的。但有一位玩家获胜5个月后在相同的老虎机游戏再次中大奖。真是奇迹。
32Red赌场上周宣布，他们的一个玩家，来自加拿大的凯利在同一台老虎机上赢得两次大奖，两次中奖的时间间隔5个月而已。
或者凯利确实是一个幸运人，幸运的船夫。她是32Red赌场打老虎机游戏，她第一次赢得很多战利品后，然后在11月，她又再同一台老虎机上在玩同样的游戏，并再次取胜。
凯利的中奖事件说明了什么？你玩哪台机器有什么区别吗？老虎机工作的几率是多少呢？你可能会认为你需要避免某台机器，如果你刚刚赢得了一个大的头奖，甚至一个小的胜利，但实际情况呢？嗯… …让我们去看看老虎机的真相。
在线老虎机，或在赌场的电子老虎机，使用一个Randon数发生器或RNG来决定谁胜谁败。基本上，这是一个程序，生成随机数。该机采用了32位进制，生成RNG序列：输出一个中奖号码的几率将在32 × 32 × 32或1 32,768。如凯利在5个月之前赢得了一个比较大的奖金数字，如64，256和512。那么，下一次输出大赔率就需要更长的时间。
RNG的赌博监管机构审核要求确保游戏支付在该行业内的标准。赔款通常是95％左右，但他们可以高达97％，也可以低至91％，所以，玩老虎机游戏，您需要明智地选择您的老虎机！）
但是，问题是你玩哪台机器呢？也就是说，你需要在不同的老虎机上发挥。如果你刚刚赢得大奖呢？电子老虎机或在线老虎机，应该不影响您的赔率。计算机芯片是无记忆的，有没有“紧缩”或“松动”的方式，所以，按照一般理论而言，您可能需要一个渐进地切换游戏。

Player wins big jackpot at the same slot game 5 months later
32Red Casino made an announcement last week that one of their players- a certain Kelly Merlo from Canada- had won 2 big jackpots （each of amounts in the 5 figure realm） on the same slot game within the space of 6 months.
We were wondering here in the office- as we are prone to do- what are the odds on that?
Well- either 32 Red is telling porkies （they weren’t- we checked with our independent source at Microgaming- the company that networks all the jackpots and develops the online software that runs the games） or Kelly is a lucky, lucky punter indeed. She was playing at 32 Red’s sister casino: Dash Casino” when she first scooped a big one on Lots of Loot- which is a progressive slot with an accumulating jackpot. Then in November, she logged in to play the same game and won again.
So does it actually make any difference which machine you play? How do the odds on slots work? You might think that you need to avoid a certain machine if you have just won a big jackpot （or even a small win）， but is that actually the case? Well……let’s go under the slot machine bonnet, as it were.
An online slot machine, or electronic slot at a casino, uses a Randon Number Generator or RNG to determine who wins and who loses. Basically, this is a program that generates random numbers. Say the machine uses the number 32 to generate RNG sequences: the odds on scooping the jackpot on a 3 reel machine would be 1 in 32 x 32 x 32 or 1 in 32,768. Slot machines that are progressives, such as the one that Kelly won on, will have bigger numbers to play with, such as 64, 256 an 512. The odds of scooping the big one are longer.
The RNG should be audited by gambling regulators to make sure that the payout on the game falls within industry standards. The payout is normally around 95%, but they can go up to 97% and be as low as 91% （choose your slot wisely!）
But does it matter which machine you play- ie do you need to play a different machine if you have just won? On electronic slots or online slots it really shouldn’t afect your odds. The results are driven by a computer chip which has no memory- there is no way of “tightening” or “loosening” the slot machine. You may want to switch games on a progressive, of course, because by definition- if you have won the jackpot, then the pot is reduced to its starting amount. Progressive jackpots get fatter and fatter as time goes on- if no-one wins. On the other hand, you might want to stick with your “lucky” slot- like Kelly. It seemed to work for her, in any case.
