I think it's superstition. All slot machines are configured to give a certain percentage of money back to players, and I think it all depends solely on this setting. The time of day or day of the week doesn't matter at all :)
New slots usually tend to give (slightly) more cash aswell cause if they didnt then people probably wouldnt try new games out that much ...
The same probably applies to old (forgotten) slots which basically no-one plays anymore ...

Also it's never wrong to test out seasonal slots like christmas ones in the middle of summer ...

Old, new - when I walk in I feel like I'm lost in a big, bright, glittery sea of slot machines. I mostly get attracted to the ones that are making a lot of noise (Big Win, Mega Win, etc.)

There’s a common myth that slot machines pay out more at certain times of the day or night, but that’s not true. Slots run on Random Number Generators RNGs, which make every spin independent of the last.

I think different slots work differently, it all depends on how they are programmed. I don't think the time of day matters. Although I don't rule out that there may be some peculiarities. I play gambling games in the evenings and on weekends.

Well, that's new, I didn't think time would matter. What's the explanation for why a slot pays better at night?

For me, the time of day doesn't matter. In general, I play more often at night than during the day. But I'm ready to play at any time, as long as I have the financial means to do so. I think talk about certain times of day being better or worse for playing is just superstition that has nothing to do with reality.

I play when I have money :)
If I have money, I always find the time, whether it's evening, night or morning. Gambling is fun at any time of the day. But I have to say that I've won my biggest wins at night.

Time affects everything in our lives, influencing our surroundings and ourselves directly. But I don't think that the vast majority of people can determine when is the best time for certain things. As for the slots themselves, I don't think they are set to different times in different ways.

I believe the best time to play slots is right after someone has been playing for a long time without winning. In that case, the chances of hitting a win should be much higher. But of course it's just speculation and may not work all the time.

The best time to play a game like slots is probably when we feel good and dont care about loosing any money. The worst when we not feel like it.

It's like a lucky mascot, you can believe in it or not. Personally, I don't believe in it. :LOL: But I also have my own rules about playing slots. For example, when I win free spins, I restart my smartphone. :D I believe that this will bring me more money in casino slots. :cool:

I think that choosing the right time is not as important as choosing the right slot machine :)
If there were some pattern regarding the most promising time to play, then the casino would be packed at those times, and empty at other, ‘less promising’ times.

I think it's better to play at night when, for obvious reasons, there are fewer customers in the casino. I think that when there are fewer players overall, you personally have a better chance of getting a good combination. Perhaps this is primitive and does not really change anything, but if I had the opportunity to choose when to play, I would prefer to play at night.

Today I came across someone saying that certain slots “hit” more at specific times of the day.
I’ve heard similar things before, like:
  • Machines paying more at night.
  • Casinos loosening slots on weekends.
  • Certain hours being “lucky” for jackpots.
Personally, I don’t buy it since slots run on RNGs, but it’s definitely one of the more common casino myths.

Do you believe there’s a best time to play slots, or is it all just superstition?

It is superstition - they don't pay out more often based on time of day.
