Allwin payout percentages
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2018 4:57 pm
There is obviously no fixed answer to the question "What is the payout percentage of an Allwin?" as the skill levels of players vary. However, by simply recording many play outcomes you can get a feel for the relative payouts of different machines, or the payout choices on a single type of machine, or even compare who is the more skilled player!
Being a retired programmer, and also the proud owner of a new repro Fivewin, I decided to write a little program to investigate. By little program I mean what I call a gadget, that is something to do just the job at hand and not be an all singing all dancing application.
I obviously wrote the gadget for a Fivewin. By simply clicking on a button for each ball channel for just one of the standard payout schemes, I was able, from the calculations the gadget performs, to get a rough feel for how all the standard schemes, including the free ball variation, payouts compare. (Don't use the 4/2/6/2/4 option, you will have a losing machine!)
I have seen Fivewin style machines which have a central Lose hole similar to the Elevenses etc. I allowed an option for that, even though it was actually of no use to me! Just call me thorough!
Out of curiosity, I also created a similar gadget for the Win & Place style machine as the input data is the same, a ball hitting one of 7 channels. So for example, I can see how these machine's payouts compare to a Fivewin.
As I have always belonged to that section of the software community that believes in free software, I have put download links for these two gadgets on to the Freeware page of my web site (it contains only programs that I have written for my own use). So if any of you also have nothing better to do than record Allwin outcomes then please visit the bottom of http://racingdog.hostfree.pw/Freeware.html and look for the Fivewin Analyser and Win & Place Analyser links.
I was vaguely thinking that one day it wouldn't be too much trouble to produce a gadget for the Elevenses machines, or any other sensible suggestion from the readership here!
Enjoy!
