In slot games, a pay table is a guide that shows players what combinations and payouts are possible on a machine. The pay table is usually found on the machine, either above or below the reels or in a help screen on video slots. Some machines have actual tables with columns and rows, while others have on-screen pay tables.
Many people believe that slots pay in cycles and that it is possible to predict the pattern of winning and losing spins. However, this is not true. Random number generators determine the outcomes of each spin and there is no way to know what will happen on any given spin. There is also no way to predict the size of each win or loss. Some players believe that slots pay out more at night, but this is only because there are more people playing at that time.
Some people also believe that the wiggle of the reels indicates that the jackpot is about to hit soon. This is not true, as the wiggle of the reels is a visual effect added to make the game more exciting.
