    Batman- Classic TV Show Version
    Played this game on demo mode and it does have great entertainment value. I feel these "wonder wheels" will prove popular and the dynamic and various bonus games will be nostalgic (and slightly corny) for those who really remember the original Batman TV series and the creative characters and villains.
    Highlight: Payback is fixed, all versions at 88.5%, typical for a mega progressive.

    GTECH's Sphinx 3D - 86% to 92% (narrower range than average)

    I transferred my payback post from another bulletin board site since it was having issues and don't want to lose it if something happens there as it did to another relic bulletin board site many of us were on a few years ago. This took too much work over too many years to have it just vanish. Interesting to see how so many of these games are still on the casino floors, for now! Enjoy the data!

    I have a couple of questions.
    .. I'm not seeing the pattern, but I scanned the lists and I think maybe I'm just overwhelmed and not the brilliant statistician you are. What is the biggest thing that pops out for you?
    .. Most of the machines here and nowhere to be found anymore. I'm not in Vegas frequently, only really in PA and NJ, so are these machines still plentiful in other areas?
    .. Looks like you stopped keeping track 2-3 years ago, and I think a lot has changed in that amount of time. Anything super obvious to you that has changed since you collected your original data?
    .. I do notice that I miss some of the games you have listed that I simply have not seen in Idunnowhen.

    Many of these games are still found in casinos, especially in Nevada and on Cruise Ships.
    The reason I stopped is that, in the short term, you will not experience these paybacks. Game VOLATILITY will determine your bankroll life and unless you make 100,000 spins, you will not approach even just a 90% chance of the payback range that is advertised. Look at this stat for the numbers of hands (or slot spins) are needed to get close to any advertised payback return:
    I will keep it simple, but here is an example of a 90% confidence interval on a 9/6 Jacks or better Video Poker played mathematically perfectly. The same can be said for slot play although at a much lower payback range, substituting number of spins for number of hands. So this gives you an example of why we can have wild swings and how you would really need about 1,000,000 hand/spins to approach any advertised "payback" range... Slotspert

    Number of Hands.... Payback intervals
    1,000.....................76.5%-122.6%
    10,000...................92.3%-106.8%
    100,000................. 97.2%-101.8%
    1,000,000.............. 98.8%-100.3%
    10,000,000............. 99.3%-99.8%
    100,000,000........... 99.5%-99.6%
    1,000,000,000......... 99.5%-99.6%

    P.S. For your brain's comfort, slots spins are always "played" perfectly whereas video poker hands are usually not.

    Actually, if you cruise you will find many of these games still on the cruise ships. Also, Nevada casinos are FULL of these games, especially the off strip properties. I just got off the NCL Jade and played the original CASHMAN on the ship! Full slot floor videos of cruise ship slot games are found on: https://www.youtube.com/user/slotspert99

    I'm a little surprised these games you have listed from the last few years don't have a lower floor. I have to believe there a many new slots, particularly in NV, that can be cranked down below 85%

    Patterns of percentage paid out are great if they work . all i ever hear about any more on any of these new classes of slot machines are "its all random' no pattern to be followed ...im not convinced . i have found some patterns . for instance while playing on multi dom units ( a good example of this would be the Buffalo series of games ) it seems to pay more often on upper level bets or as i like to think of it as bets not as likely to be made by a player as compared to low end bets that are Highly likely to be made by a player . now that could relate to set percentage payout perimeters i dont know & its not all way consistent i will say that.
