Its an odd thing...

Lets assume: If your playing along for say 1/2 hr to an hr on a game, then you would assume that the games odds have reached a point where there may be a payoff coming up.

Now, if you open the games door to take some coins out of the hopper, does it reset the odds back to when you started playing initially?
Or do you have to actually reset the machine using the key for the odds to return to (lets call it) the begginning?

i have hit a jackpot round a few spins after a full reset.

odds are for 10,000 tokens played.

it doesn't matter when you hit a jackpot, just that the odds stay the same.

Lucky, I understand lines 1 & 2.
But Im a little confused by line 3?
If you can (lets assume again) expect a payoff after 10K tokens, & you play 5K tokens, then in 5K more tokens you will reach your payoff.
If you open the door, reset the machine or do anything thats not in normal play, will the machine now have to play 10K tokens before it pays off? And wipe out the history of the 5K tokens you just played?
Am I making any sense???

i think that is in the memory even if you reset or not.

on some lcd model payouts are shown on screen.

it would have to be that way for the places in japan or their odds would change every reset.

Ok, that makes sense to me. Thanks...
