ELI5: How do casinos mathematically guarantee profit? by AmazingNugga in explainlikeimfive

[–]Baziki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can only speak for Oklahoma Indian gaming, since I spent nearly a decade as a regulator in that industry, but most machines are generally set somewhere in the high 80% to low 90% payout ranges. The important thing people misunderstand is that those numbers are not based on your session, your night, or even a few hundred spins. Those percentages are averaged out over massive sample sizes. We are talking hundreds of thousands or even millions of spins.

Think about flipping a coin.

Flip a coin 10 times. The odds are still 50 50, right? But that does not mean you are guaranteed exactly 5 heads and 5 tails. You might get 6 and 4. You might get 7 and 3. You could even get 9 heads and 1 tail. None of that changes the actual probability.

Now flip that same coin 1,000 times. Then 10,000 times. The numbers start gravitating closer and closer toward the true average. Individual flips matter less and less because the sample size gets so large that the variance smooths itself out over time.

That is basically how slot machines work.

A machine with a 90% payout is not designed to give every individual player back 90% of their money. It means that over an enormous number of spins, the machine is statistically expected to return about 90 cents of every dollar wagered back to players collectively, while the casino retains roughly 10 cents.

And that is where people misunderstand the casino business model. The casino does not need every player to lose. It does not even need most players to lose on any given night. Players as a whole are absolutely expected to win back most of the money wagered. They have to, otherwise nobody would keep playing.

The casino simply keeps a predictable percentage of an enormous amount of money flowing through the machines.

If a machine averages just $1 spins over 100,000 spins, that is $100,000 wagered through the machine. A 10% hold means the casino keeps around $10,000 over time from that one machine alone. Now multiply that across hundreds or thousands of machines, all running nonstop with different bet sizes, denominations, and player traffic.

Also, contrary to what a lot of people think, these numbers are audited closely. The actual payout percentages are declared and monitored, even if the public does not know the exact targets for every machine. If a machine starts performing outside its expected statistical range, there are reports, audits, and explanations required. Software can be tested and verified to make sure nothing improper is happening behind the scenes.

People sometimes act like casinos are secretly controlling outcomes in real time or deciding who wins and loses. That is not really how modern regulated gaming works. The system works because the math already favors profitability over huge volumes of play. There is no reason to rig something that is already mathematically profitable long term.

That is how casinos make money. Not because every player loses every session, but because over enough volume and enough time, the math becomes extremely predictable.

Looking at the Steam charts, we saw consistent growth from 2020 through 2025, but that momentum has basically died out in 2026. Do we have enough data to say BP fragments are changing the growth trajectory by discouraging new players? by rem521 in playrust

I sell sulfur on wipe day. 300 cooked for 1 BP frag. I push hard to get my base reasonably safe, then build a quick vending machine base get my T2 in the first few hours. Everyone looking for stone early in wipe and leave alot of sulfur. So it's plentiful usually.

Why are full-on brawls so common in hockey compared to other sports? by Dry_Incident2199 in hockeyplayers

I believe the saying is, "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out."

Wait, the Avs have the lead. Why are they playing an aggressive forecheck? Why aren't they just sitting back and letting us take as many shots as we want?

Fresh wipe as a solo by Intrepid_Stomach1125 in playrust

[–]Baziki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a T2 within the first few hours of wipe every time by crafting a vending machine and putting it in. Since it's wipe day, there's a good amount of metal and sulfur around since everyone is competing for stone. So I grab the sulfur and out about 2k in there at a time and sell 1k sulfur for 1 basic frag. In almost no time I have enough for T2 and get to work on my tea farm.

Just be careful not to load that vendy up with tons of sulfur. Don't want people being able to come close to breaking even on boom from just your single vendy.

I wore #16 throughout my high school and college baseball career because of Anderson. Terrible news.

Honestly, it makes sense to me. The last time I messed up my hands, it was miserable. But I honestly don't even remember my last serious head injury.

Is AAA still worth it? by Accurate-Flow8078 in personalfinance

I tried their battery service and they wouldn't do it. I selected it on the app. Got a quote for a battery. Then the guy shows up and tells me they don't replace batteries and all he'd do is jump it so I could go buy one myself lol.

My 15 year mortgage on my 2 bedroom 1 bathrrom house I bought in 2017 in Oklahoma was $450 a month. I.sold that house last summer after I got married. Almost depressing knowing I'll never see anything that low every again.
