Why Did He Hit That Jackpot and Not You?

Those of you who have played at land based casinos, you probably know the feeling of getting up and leave a slot machine, just to witness someone hit it big five minutes later. In the online gambling world this translates as being online and wagering on a certain slot game, just to hear that the jackpot has been hit by someone else at the same time as you were playing. Which of the two is more frustrating? That depends on the type of person you are, but what is for sure is that is one of the most sour tastes any of us will experience in our gambling days.

As a matter of fact, it is quite likely that this will happen to you at some point while playing slot machines, whether online or land based. Many players begin to blame themselves thinking ïf only I had stayed longer," or "what if I had wagered more or less money at that particular time?," and "I could feel it was about to payout when I left." The truth is that you didn't feel that the machine was going to pay out, and there was no way you could decide to stay longer just to hit the jackpot, you could also stay and not hit any payouts at all.

Don't worry, this doesn't mean you are a bad slot machine player or that the slot strategy website you take tips from (i.e. us) has been lying to you for years. The issue boils down to the fact that your gut couldn't tell you if the machine was about to hit for sure, and you could have stayed five or ten more minutes and it would still be unlikely that you hit the same jackpot. Once again, you are not a bad gambler, but the chances of you hitting the jackpot are controlled by something known to our kind as random number generators (RNGs).

The important bit of information is that you should understand that the only way you could hit that jackpot at the same moment as the other player did, would be if you hit the spin button at the exact nanosecond as the other person did. This would enable you to hit the winning combination that the RNG gave in that precise moment for the win. Your win is determined by a number that is randomly generated at an incredibly fast speed, so it takes a lot of luck to hit it and just as that person hit it when you feel it should have been you, the situation could be exactly the same in vice versa.
