    Casinos slot payouts are generally regulated by the state, but the ratio always favors the casinos.

    The games are specifically and legally rigged so that casinos, over the long term, keep more money than they lose.

      Yep, 92% of what is played is returned to players in Quebec for example, it’s regulated by law and confirmed by independent firms. It’s a bit lower in Ontario if I recall correctly. Illegal casinos in first Nation communities don’t need to follow such regulations and some of them will play with the % along the day, even sometimes giving more than what is played to get people to spend more and then lowering the % so people continue to play more while expecting to win…
