How To Read A Slot Machine Par Sheet
Using material prepared by our own Diana Gruber, our colleague Guy Hasson has created a seven-part presentation explaining how to read a PAR sheet. Guy's presentation uses one of Diana's PAR sheets for a relatively simple slot machine, and he has posted each part of the presentation on LinkedIn ®. Every slot machine at a casino uses something called a par sheet which provides information about the odds for each tile on a reel. Each reel is weighted to reach a certain number of spins for every time a certain tile is generated by the algorithm. The lower the number of tiles appearing on each reel lowers the odds of a jackpot.
So I wrote a Basic program on my iphone to calculate the return for Quick Hits Platinum Black & White Sevens. I used the odds Mission linked to in an earlier thread. Still haven't found a 100%+ QH game, but I really haven't been looking. Just writing the program was a nice mental exercise. I would really like to see some Par sheets for some other current progressive slots to do the same thing and calculate if the game is a positive play. All the slot websites I've checked (IGT, WMS, Bally, etc.) require you to have some sort of job with a casino to see their Par sheets on their websites so I'm outta luck there. Any suggestions?
- Answer: The PAR sheet has to give the long-term payback of the machine and show how it is achieved. The probabilities and payoffs have to be listed for the base game, every feature and every bonus round. If a payoff or probability changes with denomination or bet per line, that has to be described on the PAR sheet too.
- So, before you open up the slot game of your choice, online gambling fans like you deserve to know everything there is to slot machine paylines and pay tables. As soon as you get the hang of all the buttons, learn how to read the payout tables and master slot machine lines, you’ll be all set to play any game you want.
- The machine may have a display from the linked progressive but that is simply a display in the glass and it is not integrated with the machine. When the jackpot is won the machine goes into a handpay condition and sends a pulse to the controller signling the jackpot has been won and by which machine. Regarding the PAR sheets.

The Wizard is working with an attorney to get PAR sheets for various slots through the Freedom of Information Act. I hope he doesn't mind me revealing that; maybe he will comment on it.
I think you have two of my stories mixed up. To make a long story short, I don't have any PAR sheets I can legally share and lost my legal fight over another similar matter. More on that when I write about it in May.

Dr Kevin A. Harrigan and Mike Dixon, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada got PARS sheets from the Canadian government for their article entitled.

There are some PARS sheets for old games that have been posted online (see my blog) but not progressive games.

There are some PARS sheets for old games that have been posted online. I am not sure what the big deal is about them, as the tricks are not overly difficult to figure out.
I have a whole box of PAR sheets but don't want to get sued for publishing them. It is really no big deal to have some. I already explain how some slots are designed on my Odds site much more clearly than any PAR sheet.
Understanding Slot Machine Par Sheets
Wiz- I am anxious to hear what happens in may. I am jealous of your sheets. If I had them, I would make a professional slot player app with calculators for the more common progressives. Throw in the mystery progressive target point calculator with some other gambling tips and ouila! You have professional slot playing for dummies.

Darn, but I look forward to reading it. I was all ready to pay $20 for the legal defense fund.

My PAR sheets are for games from the late nineties and early zeros. As far as I know, none are progressive.
Is it out of order for me to ask if the FOI case was against government regulators or were you bringing it against the manufacturers?
You, sir, are out of order! Sorry, I've always wanted to say that. The case was against the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and I lost. The story is pretty boring; don't get your hopes up. After a lot of legal expense on both sides the judge ruled against me without stating a reason.

What is relevant disclosure?
You tell a mesmerized drunk: you put your money in here and you press this little red button here, then lights flash and you either win or lose.
Is a casino required to disclose how bright the lights are or how sultry the recorded voice is? The only disclosure issue is the stats of hitting it big or not hitting it at all.
Such disclosure now appears to be made as a percentage basis over a non-defined 'long term'.
