I back this comment up with the fact that on my first cruise sailing on the Valor in 2007 they had installed some new slots that were loose as a goose. Information on the RNG is readily available on line.Ĭarnival does have the capacity to make changes at will. They do not have to change the payouts, they always win.Changing the payouts would undermine the confidence that people have in casinos, they may lose but at least they didn't get cheated and that is paramount to the casinos in drawing in customers.
It is illegal to change the RNG on slot machines in major jursidictions unless permission is given by the Casino Control Commission and they are present when it is changed. I realize that there is very little regulation of casinos on ships but I will give an example of how difficult it is to change the RNG to illustrate the point. The payouts on the machines are ordered by the company and made in the factory to the casino specifications. I have seen this myth about hitting on the first night but also, hitting on the last night, at sea days, after dinner, whatever variable you want.įact is that under current technology the slot machine payouts can't be changed without changing the Random Number Generator on the machine which is an expensive chip. #1 myth of slot machines is that the payouts can be changed at will.
