<p>In the past <strong>calculating slot machine odds</strong> was a relatively simple thing to do but nowadays this process has become impossible thanks to <strong>Random Number Generators</strong> (RNG&#8217;s) which have multiple weighted combinations which prevent one from determining the game odds.</p>
<p>You may read conflicting information perpetuated by many &#8220;<strong>Slots Systems</strong>&#8221; which say that you can determine and even manipulate slot machine odds in your favour, but these are most definitely wrong.</p>
<p>Slot machines that were manufactured prior to the integration of RNG&#8217;s can be analysed to determine the odds of any single combination being hit because there was nothing to weight certain combinations against another.  This means that <strong>all symbols</strong> have exactly the same likelihood of appearing on a payline and all you have to do is count the number of symbols on the reels and calculate it from there.</p>
<p>For example, a slot with 3 reels and 15 symbols on each would mean that there are 3375 possible combinations (15 x 15 x 15) which means that the odds of you winning the top jackpot would be 1 in 3375.</p>
<p>The above can only be applied when it comes to <strong>antique slot machines</strong> and while those selling &#8220;slots systems&#8221; would like you to believe that you may still encounter these in some land based casinos, you will not.  What you will find is <strong>spinning reel slots</strong> but these are not the same as the original antique slot machines of old even though they may look like it.</p>
<p>All modern day slots, whether at brick and mortar or <strong>online casinos</strong> now have Random Number Generators which means there is no way of determining their exact odds.</p>
<p>What we can tell you though is that in general the odds of winning the main prize jackpot is no better than between 1 in 500,000 and 1 in 1,000,000.  That being said, in spite of these seemingly low odds, players hit <strong>huge jackpots online</strong> and at land based venues on a daily basis, it all comes down to luck and playing at the right place at the right time!  </p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re feeling lucky, head on over to <strong><a title="Play now and win!" href="http://online.europacasino.com/promoRedirect?key=em9uZUlkPTYwNzY3NTA3OSZsYW5kaW5nUGFnZUlkPTEzNTEwMjg3JnByb2ZpbGVJZD0xODI3NA%3D%3D" target="_blank">Europa Casino</a></strong> now and play one of their many exciting online slots.</p>

<p>While <strong>Cryptologic</strong> and <strong>Playtech</strong> powered online casinos are generally better known for online slots based on numerous comic book characters, <strong>Microgaming casinos</strong> like <strong><a title="Play now" href="http://www.platinumplay.eu/btag-ad308269/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Platinum Play</a></strong> look set to give them a good run for their money with its recent announcement of yet another licensing agreement that will see the company producing brand new <strong>online slots games</strong> based on the legendary <strong>DC comic book hero Batman</strong> and <strong>The Dark Knight</strong> series. </p>
<p>This is truly an exciting development for fans of comic book themed online slots and <strong>Microgaming</strong> promises not to disappoint when the first game is released in the <strong>Summer of 2012</strong>, with <strong>The Dark Knight Rises Online Slot</strong> making its debut in early <strong>2013</strong>.  It can be expected that these state of the art slots will feature all of the characters from the movies and comic books as well as <strong>animations</strong> and <strong>clips</strong> from the motion pictures <strong>The Dark Knight</strong> and the upcoming sequel <strong>The Dark Knight Rises</strong>.</p>
<p>Upon release in 2008, The Dark Knight movie became the <strong>third highest grossing film</strong> of all time in the United States, with earnings in excess of <strong>$500 million</strong> in domestic box office revenues and over <strong>$1 billion worldwide</strong>.  While some critics attribute the success of the movie to the untimely passing of  Heath Ledger (who played the part of The Joker), none can dispute that it was a cinematic masterpiece and that Heath&#8217;s final completed project saw him rise as not only a super villain but also as one of the most talented actors of his generation.  It makes sense then that the <strong>online slot</strong> version of the movie will enjoy a great deal of success even 4 years down the line.</p>
<p>The upcoming sequel, <strong>The Dark Knight Rises</strong> will be launched in cinemas on the 20th of July 2012 and will once again star Christian Bale as Batman / Bruce Wayne.  We can&#8217;t wait to see it or the subsequent slot machine.</p>
<p>While you wait for these exciting new releases, why not play <strong><a href="http://www.rapidplay.com/themed-slots/hellboy-slot/" title="Hellboy Slot">Hellboy</a></strong> or any of the other superhero slot titles at <strong>Microgaming powered casinos</strong> now.</p>
