How come some symbols hit more often than others?
Because video slot machines, like all slots, are set to “favor” cheaper symbols than valuable ones. If they were not programmed this way, the casinos would lose money and your life would be too sweet! To control how frequently symbols hit, video slots have more cheap symbols on each reel than valuable ones. There could be dozens of a low-paying symbol on a reel and only one jackpot symbol. This is the equivalent of “weighting” done in old-fashioned slots.
