Jackpot spins...

[Bobo]

I have started to look at pogo a little closer than before because of some of the discussions I have seen on this message board.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes as the jackpot spinner is still going the amount I supposedly have not won yet is already being added to my tokens?

It seems like that second or two is enough to change what the spinner actually gives out.

I guess I am asking if everyone thinks it is as random as they say it is?

It has always done that

I just never looked at it before...why am I so trusting?

I guess someone should   me

Well, before Homer does it.

It's not rocket science. As soon as the j/p spin is engaged the tokens are added to your account. It simply takes the spinner a few moments to catch up.

I have noticed that along time ago. It shows up what you won before spinner gets done. weird, but not for pogo.    not anymore shocked LOL

It's kinda like the slot machine here in Vegas, the handle you pull is connected to nothing more than a switch.  The spin is predetermined by a computer chip on the motherboard of a machine.  That's why I get a kick out of the people that will pull the handle one time and hit the "Bet Max" or "Spin" button the next, they think it really makes a difference.  They are close cousins to those that think the only way to win at video poker is to hit the "Hold" buttons as hard as you can...that way you slap those cards into submission...   And before all the gambling experts argue with me about either, I was a slot mechanic in Vegas for 30 years.  Oh, and BTW...they do not have a big switch in a hidden room that tightens the machines on weekends or when it's tourist season,  each machine has a chip that controls the payoff percentage and any change in payoffs of all the machines would have to be done when the casino is closed.  It would also have to be reported to the Nevada gaming control board.  . (thought I'd dispel as many of the hilarious rumors I've heard over the years, as long as I was here)
