摘要

Poker, though luck is useful when playing it, is essentially a game of skill. Even betting on the horses means assessing the animals' form and the track's going. But people who put money into slot machines might just as well stand there burning banknotes. Not for nothing were they once known as one-armed bandits. They mindlessly apply the laws of statistics to confiscate a prearranged proportion (usually about 10%) of the money put into them. Well, not quite mindlessly. For it is possible, while staying within the realm of randomness for the appearance of any given symbol in any given place in the payout row, to tweak things so that "near wins" of two out of three symbols appear quite often. The peculiarities of human psychology are such that some people (a sufficient number, from the house's point of view) are so pepped by "almost" winning that they are stimulated to carry on playing.
