Interesting question- slot machines are actually based on a degree of randomness in each individual play, but the payouts when those random events produce a winning combination are controlled to ensure that only a certain percentage of money played is paid back. Typically in the high 90% range.

I always love playing jackpot games, and I recommend PinUp for their collection of jackpots and tournaments. I didn't have too much trouble finding popular jackpot titles like Super Multitimes Progressive. The best part? The games are from top brands such as NetEnt and Microgaming.
