Texas Hold ‘Em and slot machines are a great choice since they thrive on a sense of volatility that challenges them to combine their logical and intuitive powers. Pisces (February 19 – March 20) Pisces gamblers often learn the hard way where their best options lie in online or live gambling situations. When’s the Best Time to Play Slot Machines? 28 Mar Virtual slots continue to dominate the iGaming market, with this genre accounting for 64.5% of the online GGY in the year ending September 2018.

Stratego online friends. Lots of myths and urban legends surround slots, pokies and fruit machines and no doubt you’ve come across many of them if you’re a dedicated slots fan. Do you remember when you watched someone in the pub put a tenner into the fruit machines without winning and then your mate would be convinced that a big win would be imminent despite all evidence to the contrary.

Playing online slots has it’s own share of half-truths and there are plenty of places online where those who claim to be insiders will offer spurious tips and tricks to win money. The question of whether or not there’s a premium time to play online slots is an interesting one and the claim seems to based on a belief that at times of the day when more people are playing, the slots will pay out more.

This is a load of nonsense of course – the theoretical return to the player remains the same however many people are online or whatever time of the day it is. However it might have some basis in reality in that other online casino games may well offer more to the player at specific times of day.

For example, online poker players have long been aware that there is money to be made late on Friday and Saturday nights as you play against people who have staggered home from the pub and fancy a few hands. The best poker players will also play in the biggest online tournaments and those are timed for when there are maximum numbers of players online. That time will generally depend on where the majority of that website’s players are based.

None of this applies to online slots though – that pastime is purely software driven, pitting you against the machine; poker involves competition with other players and that’s why timing is important.

However, there are times when it can pay to play certain slots and that’s because online casinos regularly offer bonuses on specific days for certain games. You might be refunded some of your losses or given an extra percentage of your winnings for playing one slot in particular.

We should also mention online slots tournaments which pit players against each other on certain machines over specific amounts of time. Winners will usually be the players with the highest percentage return, regardless of the size of the stake. So if you want to take part in a tournament the best time to play that slot is when the casino tells you to.

Has anybody since the introduction of server based control of slot machines tracked the best day and time to play slots for greatest payout. This last year I have unofficially noticed slots appear to pay better on Friday and Saturday night and aweful on Friday morning and all day Sunday/Monday. My understanding is slots machines are now controlled via a main server and not individual chips manually inserted/replaced by slot tech. My theory played out again this last weekend with some good wins Friday and Saturday night and aweful on Friday morning and all day Sunday/Monday. I keep thinking the casinos are trying to encourage play when people come to town and take the money back on Sunday and Monday before they leave.

I doesn't matter what time of day, or day of the week you play.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

My understanding from a slot manager in Reno is the casino industry had gone to server based slot payout. The random luck of hitting that machine with a chip ready to payout is gone. The casino slot payout % is controlled via server according to NV state law. The days of waiting for a slot tech to change the chip(50/50 it is a payout chip are gone).

That's only true under the assumption that the casino doesn't dynamically change their floor on a schedule as the OP said. At least two major gaming manufacturers, IGT and Bally, have systems that allow precisely that to happen -- and at least the Aria is totally set up for that technology. On-the-fly floor mix changes is one of the benefits of server-based gaming. The question is 'if that's implemented, what's the schedule?'.
To my knowledge, most casinos have not implemented server-based gaming in this level of detail. It's still very much a turn-the-key process. World

It is my understanding that even with server-based slots, the casino would have to fax in a report for every machine they change the return on every time they do it. That would be a lot of paperwork to tighten and loosen the slots on a daily and weekly basis.
Even if we ignore that issue, it wouldn't be good business to loosen and tighten slots according to the hour or day. For any given casino there is going to be some optimal return to set the slots at, according to denomination. Same as any other game. Make the machines too tight on a busy night, with a captive audience, and you may make more money temporarily. However, you'll create ill will among all the players who lost, and they will be less likely to return.

I'm pretty sure the regulations support, or are being reworked to support, electronic update submissions. It doesn't make sense to have high speed changes on the floor when you can't get them across to the state in high speed.
That said, I'm not sure I agree that it's not good business. It's very commonplace in other industries to charge different fees for the same services at different times. Lunch always costs less than dinner. Even in table games, you can find a $5 table mid-day Thursday but not Saturday evening. Other than changing the game entirely, the two levers the casino has are denom and edge. Most slot games are multi-denom, so that leaves only edge. In my mind, taking a multi-line penny machine from 92% to 90% on a Saturday evening isn't much different than taking a dice table from $5 to $10. Casino games have different EVs based on location, why not time?

I always thought different EV's based on slot location was a myth because of the random assigment of the chip. I don't know.
