So for around 10 years I didn't use a slot machine but around three months ago I saw a machine with 20p in. I put in 5p and won £4 on Deal or No Deal. For around 10 weeks I was consistently making a profit by doing this. My best run was £5 into £25 but I was typically doubling my money overall. So last week I only used machines that had zero credit and lost around £4 with no wins. So tonight I tried machine with credit and turned £3 into £17.
It's so weird. I don't know its either a 'glitch' or purely by chance.
The key to not be greedy. Some times I will turn £1 into £2, but other times I will cash in the boxes when that land.
Anyone else want to test it? I'm just doing as fun but I consistently make money from it. So far, as long as the machine has credit left on it!

Had a read up on the rules
In Great Britain there’s **no legal cap on the house-edge (or minimum return-to-player) for slots and fruit machines**. Manufacturers and operators can set the RTP wherever they like, which is why you see everything from pub “fruities” in the mid-70 % range up to casino or AGC slots in the low-90 s. The market, not the law, does the disciplining—machines that feel too tight lose footfall and takings.
What *is* regulated is **transparency**. The Gambling Commission’s Gaming Machine Technical Standards require every game (Categories B1–B4, C and most D) to state its “theoretical target percentage return to player” somewhere the customer can easily see—printed on the glass, on a cabinet label or in the on-screen help menu. Online slots follow the same rule under the Remote Technical Standards. So while you’re not protected by a minimum payout, you *are* entitled to know the odds before you press “Start”.

I know that the slots in the local casino used to have this printed on and I remember the highest being 95.6% - still below roulette and perfect-execution blackjack by some margin. Conclusion - don't bother.Euler wrote: ↑Tue Jun 17, 2025 10:40 amHad a read up on the rules

...Until you don't. Enjoy it while it lasts, because for sure there are very, very, few long term slot winners.Garethp123 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 20, 2025 9:20 pmI just don't understand how I keep winning and making a profit.

Won again tonight. I put £1 in and got it back above £1 so cashed out above 5 times. On the sixth go I won £8.
