多年以来，吃角子老虎机的技术已经发生了很多改变。传统的机械老虎机已几乎完全被电脑芯片控制的吃角子老虎机取代。吃角子老虎机游戏开始的时候是一直保持不变，但在后面一切都已经改变了。玩家拉手柄来旋转的卷轴系列（通常是三个），上印有图片。当使用计算机芯片告诉他们停止时，吃角子老虎机将自动停止。图片组合保持与之交行着，在一个观景窗中间线来确定输赢。
利用编程控制的吃角子老虎机可以给玩家返回的比例出现大幅度的上升。也就是说，有时没有出来（往往不是），有时一个进去了就有很多倾泻而出（这是罕见但令人兴奋的悸动）。这是一个很大的意外收获，能够激发玩家的兴趣。毕竟，计算机化的野兽腹内系列，可以使你变得越来越富有，甚至比这更富有——由于这而能够引起心脏的震撼。因而赌场可以一美元返回92美分，而它是给我们超过8美分的价值，我们投到机器的鱼肚普拉克的每一美元预期回馈的价值都会引起我们的兴奋。

The technology of slot machines has also changed a lot over the years. The classic mechanical slots have been almost completely replaced by the slot machine box controlled by computer chips. The slot games have been remained the same, but everything has been changed in the back. The player pulls a handle to rotate a series of reels （typically three） that have pictures printed on them. The reels will stop where the computer chip tells them to stop. The pictures combination stays with the pay line, a line in the middle of a viewing window determine winning or losing.
The slot machines are programmed to return the player's percentages explosively. That is, sometimes nothing comes out （more often than not） and sometimes a hell of a lot comes pouring out （rare, but heart-throbbing exciting）。 It is the lure of a great windfall （or even a little breeze） that excites the slot player. After all, inside the belly of that computerized beast are sequences that can make you rich and richer and even richer than that - and the heart pounds with that knowledge. And thus the casino can return its 92 cents on the dollar because it is giving us more than eight cents worth of anticipatory thrills with every dollar we plunk into the machine's maw.
